GMAT/GRE閱讀文章第三篇：
Thomas Hardy’s impulses as a writer, all of which he indulged in his novels, were numerous and divergent, and they did not always work together in harmony.
TH作爲一個作家的impulses的特點是什麼?
Numerous and divergent
Did not always work together
很多同學在這裏喜歡把impulses翻譯出來，比如說翻譯成衝動，刺激之類的。
完全沒有必要，因爲名詞在GRE閱讀中是最不重要的詞彙，尤其這類抽象名詞，明確它的作用和特點即可，下文只需要找出對應。不需要明白具體含義。
Hardy was to some degree interested in exploring his characters’ psychologies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy.
那些詞跟上文的impulses有關係?
Characters’ psychologies, curiosity, sympathy
Occasionally he felt the impulse to comedy (in all its detached coldness) as well as the impulse to farce, but he was more often inclined to see tragedy and record it.
雖然but在句中，但仍然要找到but的轉折關係，哪裏轉折了?
Occasionally和often
Comedy, farce和tragedy
這句話要讀出的關係是Hardy更喜歡的是?
Tragedy
He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase.
Also告訴我們這句話和上句話的關係是?
並列(順承)
劃線部分指代的是?
Literary realism
He wanted to describe ordinary human beings; he wanted to speculate on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortunately, even schematically); and he wanted to record precisely the material universe.
這裏兩個分號引導的並列結構，有可能出細節題，要注意定位
這裏的wanted後面跟的內容是否是全新的概念?
不是
如果不是，和前文的什麼有關係?
Hardy’s impulses
Finally, he wanted to be more than a realist. He wanted to transcend what he considered to be the banality of solely recording things exactly and to express as well his awareness of the occult and the strange.
劃線部分和非劃線部分的關係是?
非劃線部分解釋說明了劃線部分。
Hardy想去做到的是?
To transcend and to express
劃線部分的realist可以用那些詞進行解釋?
Not transcend banality of solely recording things exactly and not express his awareness
總結第一段的大致內容：
Hardy這個人在寫作方面的許多想法很多，且有時會不和諧。他比較喜歡非喜劇的東西。他想展現的並非只是呆板的記錄的現實主義者，而是比現實主義者更多的展現自己的意識。
以下開始第二段
In his novels these various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often.
仍然沒有出現新的概念，承接上文的impulses
上文對於impulses的特點的描述是?
Numerous and divergent, not always work together
Sacrificed和上文的.哪些詞對應?
Not always work together
Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared.
兩個句子的關係是?
因果關係
爲什麼?
有標誌詞because和thus。前一句是因，後一句是果。
出現了兩個人名F和J的作用是?
與Hardy進行比較(取不同)
那麼F和J的特點是?
Took path of resistance
在Hardy的作品中，impulse會出現什麼樣的情況?
一個impulse會被新的impulse所取締。因此最終的情況不是所有的impulse會互相融合(compromise)而是隻會有最新的impulse，之前的impulse都沒有了(disappeared)
A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of (on the part of: with regard to the one specified) what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.
本句話中的desire是全新的概念嘛?
不是，和前文的impulse是同一個概念。
這句話的主幹是什麼?
That a desire might give way abruptly to the desire was never to throw over reality a light.
劃線部分的that的作用是?
引導主語從句
劃線部分的what的作用是?
引導了一個賓語從句，做of的賓語。
所以這個句子的作用是?
描述了a desire的特點，即impulse的特點
一個desire應該是不會突然讓位給另一個(desire)的---比如說一個novelist-scientist需要準確具體的記錄一個花的結構和紋理。
這個句子即使翻譯了之後，還是覺得很抽象，不妨我們來找一下對應。
Hardy’s impulses的特點是?
新的取代之前的。不能互相融合
而這裏我們認爲的是什麼?
一個desire如果能夠被取代，那麼那就不能反應事實。
和前文的內容邏輯一致。
In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style.
劃線部分的指代是?
The desire on the part of what we might consider novelist-scientist
But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly.
But閃到眼了，要注意的是?
出現轉折了。
轉折了什麼?
前面說，還好新的impulse還不至於導致relaxed style;但是有時Hardy還是會引起relaxing impulse的。
When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author’s literary worth—was certain to become verbose.
劃線部分的詞語和可以用上文的什麼詞來代替?
Relaxed
所以如果relaxing impulse很多，那麼結構就會relaxed
Hardy’s weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones.
Hardy’s weakness指代的是什麼?
他的relaxing impulse導致的relaxed style
Hardy’s weakness的原因是?
Inability to control and unwillingness to cultivate
無法掌控divergent impulses以及不願意去堅持那些energetic and risky的impulses
He submitted to first one and then another, and the spirit blew where it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels.
這句話和上文的關係是?
是上句話的結果。
因爲他的無能和不願意，致使了他的作品都unevenness
這裏的unevenness和上文的什麼有關係?
Divergent impulses
His most controlled novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulses—a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a psychologist of love—but the slight interlockings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together. Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.
最後一句話是否有轉折?
沒有，仍然是在說他的小說結構是divergent
舉例子的目的是?(Under the Greenwood Tree)
支持說明前文的觀點： unevenness of any one of his novel
