问题     In The Life of Charlotte Bronte(1857), the first and the most celebrated biography of novelist Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell promoted the long-persisting romantic view of Bronte as having no connection with the rest of English society at a time when industrialization was causing much turbulence, but as having sprung naturally, like so much purple heather, out of the English countryside. Gaskell also portrayed Bronte as irreproachably proper, incapable of “unladylike” feelings or dangerous views; this was at variance with the subversive spirit Matthew Arnold accurately discerned, albeit with distance, deep within Bronte’ s fiction. While correcting many of Gaskell’s errors and omissions at last, even Winifred Gerin’ s Charlotte Bronte: The Evolution of Genius(1967) failed to discard Gaskell’ s viewpoint. Feminist have introduced new interpretations of Bronte’ s life, but it is primarily Juliet Barker who takes into account the larger world that impinged on that life— the changing England in which old divisions of class and gender were under pressure. [br] The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项 A、consider similarities in several studies of Charlotte Bronte’ s life
B、defend a particular view of Charlotte Bronte’s life
C、discuss a change in perspective on Charlotte Bronte’s life
D、depict the social environment in which Charlotte Bronte lived
E、portray Charlotte Bronte as an early feminist writer
答案 C
解析 本文列举的是对夏洛特.勃朗特生活的不同观点，另外从第一句的1857到第三句的1967可以看出这些观点之间存在时间顺序。A项只能说格里和盖斯凯尔之间存在一定的相似度，但是没涉及其他观点。B项本文只是作者在客观描述多人的观点，本身没有支持任何人。D项社会环境的变化只是文中一些人提出自己观点的基础，但不是本文主要讨论的内容，排除选项D。E项文中未提及。
