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 passage suggest that Gaskell’ s biography of Charlotte Bronte advanced the idea that Bronte was
选项 A、one of the most celebrated of the romantic novelist
B、an outspoken advocate of the social change
C、opposed to the industrialization of England
D、strongly influenced by the social upheaval of the times
E、chiefly the product of a rustic environment
答案 E
解析 对应第一句的sprung naturally…out of the English countryside，因此选项E说夏洛特.勃朗特是乡村环境的产物是正确的。A项文中没提夏洛特.勃朗特是不是小说家中最出名的。B项这是阿诺德的观点。C项盖斯凯尔只是说夏洛特.勃朗特与工业化环境不同，但是不意味着夏洛特.勃朗特反对工业化。D项这是巴克的观点。
