选项
A、The Old Man and the Sea.
B、Moby Dick.
C、For Whom the Bell Rings.
D、Billy Budd.
答案
B
解析
本题考查美国文学知识。Melville(梅尔维尔,1819—1891)在船上的经历成为后来半自传小说Redburn(《雷得本》,1849)的基础,在1841年梅尔维尔搭捕鲸船阿库什尼特号去南太平洋,也在此行中获得后来撰写散文体叙事诗Moby Dick(《白鲸》,1851)的体验;他的航海经验被拿来作为第一本最受欢迎的小说题材,主要以冒险故事为主,后来还写了Pierre(《皮埃尔》,1852)、The Confidence-Man (《骗子的化装表演》,1857),之后,他转而写诗,但因为写作收入无法应付支出,他开始于纽约担任海关检查员的工作;在那儿工作了20年退休之后,他撰写了Billy Budd(《毕利·伯德》)这本书。四个选项中A《老人与海》和C《丧钟为谁而鸣》是Hemingway(海明威)的著名作品,B和D为 Melville的作品,但题干中问的是“对捕鲸的详细描述”,所以只能选B。
