　　Passage one

　　We've going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with The Iliad and The Odyssey. (10) These two great poems are believed to have been written sometime between 800BC and 700BC, partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated by the findings of archeologists. But just who was the poet who laid down these cornerstones of western literature? Tradition ascribes them to a man named Homer, but we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact, some say that such a poet never existed at all, that neither The Iliad nor The Odyssey was written by a single poet, but rather each poem is composed of the writings of several people. This is the view of a school of literary critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literary devices used in the poem to argue that each work was in fact a collection of several poems by several Greek authors. Opposing the Analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. (11) They insisted that The Iliad and The Odyssey could have been the work of a single poetic genius. To support their argument, they stress among other things the consistency of the character portrayed in the poetry. This wouldn't have been possible, they said, if they were written by many different poets. (12) Now how we look at the Homeric question today has been greatly influenced by someone named Milman Parry, an American scholar who first presented his ideas about Homer in the 1930s. So let's take a look at Parry's research.

　　9. What is the attitude of the professor toward the topic?

　　10. When were The Iliad and The Odyssey written?

　　11. What is the Unitarian's point of view on the poet of The Iliad and The Odyssey?

　　12. Why does the professor talk about Milman Parry?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题9】D

　　【小题10】D

　　【小题11】C

　　【小题12】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题9】整篇短文都是教授在分别指出各个派别对于谁是《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的作者的推测，没有掺杂自己的观点，因此可以判定作者的叙述是客观的，而非主观的，更没有同情或质疑的情绪在其中。因此 D 选项符合题意。

　　【小题10】短文提到，人们认为这两部史诗写于公元前 800 年至公元前 700 年之间。所以， D 选项符合题意。

　　【小题11】短文中提到，分析派认为《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》都是由几个人写出来的诗歌组合而成的，而不是由一个人写出来的;一位论派认为这两部史诗很可能是同一个天才的著作。C 选项符合题意，故选 C。

　　【小题12】短文中提到，我们现今如何看待荷马问题深受一个叫米尔曼·帕里的学者的影响，他在 20 世纪 30 年代首次提出对于荷马的观点。因此，这也是教授谈论他的原因，故选 D。
