A critical consensus has emerged that Mary McCarthy will be remembered primarily as an essayist rather than as a novelist. But despite her formidable gifts as a polemical and
discursive
writer, and for all her reputation as an intellectual who sacrificed feeling to intelligence, what powers McCarthy’s best essays are her fictional rather than strictly intellectual gifts. She makes her points by telling stories or by ways of description, arresting images, and subtle characterization. And for all her exacting sense of fact, McCarthy’s greatest contribution was to blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing, to show how fiction could be opened up to the thinking mind and how essays could profit from the techniques of fiction. [br] In the context in which it appears, “discursive” most nearly means
选项
A、prolific
B、sophistic
C、rambling
D、analytical
E、circuitous
答案
D
解析
这道题目是词汇题,本题可以根据上下文进行推断。首先,根据第二句gift一词可知discursive是褒义词,因此答案可以锁定A和D。同时根据文章内容,这个单词在含义上应该和essay有关。因此D正确。这道题显示出了GRE阅读词汇题“熟词僻意”的考查倾向。discursive最常见的含义是“混乱的”,因此很多考生受到迷惑会选择选项C,但是这篇文章中的discursive考查的是另一个不常见的含义“善于分析的”。《韦氏词典》的释义如下:marked by analytical reasoning。
