问题     Zora Neale Hurston’s 1942 autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road, has received some of the most negative criticism of any of Hurston’s books. Among critics’ complaints—some from Hurston’s warmest admirers-is the work’s fragmentary nature, a nature which, while present in other Hurston texts, including the universally acclaimed novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, is particularly conspicuous in Dust Tracks. The complaints about Dust Tracks are valid if one insists on the cardinal conventions of autobiography: traditional autobiographical structure and formal organization, and a focused projection of the autobiographical persona. But Dust Tracks portrays a persona that resists reduction to a coherent unity—a person of many moods who is in tension with the world in which she moves. In order to correspond better to this persona, Dust Tracks focuses on the fragmented life of Hurston’s imagination: the psychological dynamics of her family, community stories, and characters of friends. [br] Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

选项 A、A situation is presented and an explanation of how that situation developed is offered.
B、Two opposing points of view are contrasted and their relative merits are evaluated.
C、An orthodox view is discussed, a challenge to it is analyzed, and the original view is affirmed.
D、A point of view is described and an analysis challenging that point of view follows.
E、A dispute is analyzed and several points of agreement between the two sides are identified.

答案 D

解析 本题属于结构性主旨题,关键在于选项中的虚词全都能在原文找到对应。本文为驳论文,作者反驳之前的批评家。因此选项D最符合驳论文的结构特征。A point of view对应批评家的观点,an analysis challenging that point of view指的是作者的态度。
