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] The author of the passage suggests that critics’ complaints about the structure of Dust Tracks are
选项 A、not valid, because Dust Tracks should not be judged by the standards of conventional autobiography.
B、unjustified, because they have not been directed at other Hurston texts that are similarly structured.
C、justified, given the extent to which Dust Tracks is autobiographical.
D、inexplicable, given the critical response to Their Eyes Were Watching God
E、compelling, because Huston’s warmest admirers have complained the most strenuously.
答案 A
解析 传统标准认为碎片化是不好的，但是作者认为恰恰是碎片化才能体现赫斯顿的真实生活，因此这些批评家不应该按照传统标准去评价《道路上的尘迹》。C、E项：作者对批评家的态度是负评价，故排除。
