119. George Sand (Aurore Lucile Dupin) was one of the first European writers to consider the rural poor to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these with sympathy and respect in her novels.
(A) to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these
(B) should be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these
(C) as being legitimate subjects for literature and portraying them
(D) as if they were legitimate subjects for literature and portray them
(E) legitimate subjects for literature and to portray them
答案解析如下:
(A)to be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these
【错误1】 代词指代:GMAT所考察的标准书面英语中,代词this、
that、these、
those如果单独使用(“those students”、“that of……”这样的结构就属于不单独使用),其指代不明,因为书面语不能用手去指这指那。
【错误2】 句子意思:固定搭配除外,不定式“to do”结构表达“目的”或“将要”的含义。因此“to be”表示“目的是”或者“将会是”,这并不是本句本意上要表达的含义。
(B)should be legitimate subjects for literature and portray these
【错误1】 句子结构:“consider”本身无法引导主谓结构“the rural poor should be legitimate subjects for literature……”
【错误2】 代词指代:见(A)中【错误1】。
(C)as being legitimate subjects for literature and portraying them
【错误】 简洁明了:“as being”表意为“作为是”,不具有简洁性。
(D)as if they were legitimate subjects for literature and portray them
【错误】 句子意思:“as if”表示仿佛,“they were legitimate subjects”意味着穷人实际上不是“legitimate subjects”,表意不合理。
(E)legitimate subjects for literature and to portray them
【正确】 “consider the rural poor legitimate subjects”使用了固定搭配“consider sth. sth.”表达的含义是“把‘the rural poor’考虑作为‘legitimate subjects’”。
【大意】 George Sand是第一批把乡下穷人考虑作为文学的合理刻画对象的欧洲作家之一,并且在她的小说中以同情和尊重刻画这些对象。
【最优解题思路推荐】
(A)、(B)中代代词指代不合理,排除。
(D)句意不合理,排除。
(C)简洁性逊于(E)。
因此选择(E)。
