◆ 0629 GRE閱讀第一篇命中：Jane Austen 珍.奧斯汀(本篇英文原題)
Jane Austen's relationship to Romanticism has long been a vexed one.
Although her dates (1775- 1817) place her squarely within the period,
she traditionally has been studied apart from the male poets whose work
defined British Romanticism for most of the twentieth century.
In the past her novels were thought to follow an Augustan mode at odds
with the Romantic ethos. Even with the advent of historicist and feminist
criticism, which challenged many previous characterizations of Austen
as detached from the major social, political and aesthetic currents of
her time, she continued to be distinguished from her malea ntempores
Jerome McCann, for example, insists chat Austen does not espouse the
Romantic ideology. Anne Mellor declares that Austen, along with other
"leading women intellectual and writers of the day" "did not," participate
in the Romantic "spirit of the age" but instead embraced an alternative
ideology that Mellor labels "feminine Romanticism".
To be sure, some critics throughout the years have argued for Austen's
affinities with one or more of the male Romantic poets. A special issue
of the Wordsworth Circle (Autumn 1976) was devoted to exploring connections
between Austen and her male contemporaries. Clifford Siskin in his historicist
study of Romanticism argued that Austen does participate in the same major
innovation, the naturalization of belief in a developing self, as characterizes
Wordsworth's poetry and other key works from the period. Recently, three books
have appeared (by Clara Tuite, William Galperin, and William Deresiewicz) that
in various ways treat Austen as a Romantic writer and together signal a shift
in the tendency to segregate the major novelist of the age from the major poets.
The present essay seeks to contribute to this goal of firmly integrating
Austen within the Romantic Movement and canon. It does so by pointing out
affinities between Austen and a writer with whom she has not commonly been
associated, John Keats. Most comparisons of Austen and the Romantic poets
have focused on Wordsworth and Byron, whose works we know she read.
Although Austen could not have read Keats's poems, which only began to appear
in print during the last years of her life, and there is no evidence that
Keats knew Austen's novels, a number of important similarities can be noted
in these writers' works that provide further evidence to link Austen with the
Romantic movement, especially the period of second-generation Romanticism
when all of her novels were published.
幫同學奉上原題與正解：
1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
provide support for a new approach to a writer's work
2. The author of the passage describes Austen relationship to Romanticism as
"vexed" mainly because
her novels were written during the Romantic period, yet she is not treated as
a Romantic writer
3. According to the passage, compared to critics trained in "historicist and
feminist criticism," earlier critics of Austen were
more likely to represent her as isolated from the major intellectual currents
of her period.
4. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the
following statements about the concept of "feminine Romanticism"?
It contributes to Austen's vexed relationship to Romanticism by keeping her
separate from the male writers whose poetry is central to the period
◆ 0629 GRE閱讀第二篇命中：Passenger Pigeons 候鴿(本篇英文原題)
Although passenger pigeons, now extinct, were abundant in eighteenth-and
nineteenth-century America, archaeological studies at twelfth-century
Cahokian sites in the present-day United States examined household food
trash and found that traces of passenger pigeon were quite rare. Given
that the sites were close to a huge passenger pigeon roost documented
by John James Audubon in the nineteenth century and that Cahokians consumed
almost every other animal protein source available, the archaeologist
conducting the studies concluded the passenger pigeon population had
once been very limited before increasing dramatically in post-Columbian
America. Other archaeologists have criticized those conclusions on the
grounds that passenger pigeon bones would not be likely to be preserved.
But all the archaeological projects found plenty of bird bones
