问题 The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following?
According to the author, which of the following is true of Glarthaar’s Forged in Battle compared with previous studies on the same topic?

选项 A、It is more reliable and presents a more complete picture of the historical events on which it concentrates than do previous studies.
B、It uses more of a particular kind of source material and focuses more closely on a particular aspect of the topic than do previous studies.
C、It contains some unsupported generalizations, but it rightly emphasizes a theme ignored by most previous studies.
D、It surpasses previous studies on the same topic in that it accurately describes conditions often neglected by those studies.
E、It makes skillful use of supporting evidence to illustrate a subtle trend that previous studies have failed to detect.

答案B

解析 The best answer is B. Lines 3-6 state that Forged in Battle “uses more soldiers’ letters and diaries” and “concentrates more intensely on Black-White relations in Black regiments than do any of its predecessors.” Thus, the author of the passage asserts, as B states, that Forged in Battle “use more of a particular kind of source material and relied more closely on a particular aspect of the topic than do previous studies.” Nowhere does the passage compare the reliability of Glatthaar’s work to that of earlier studies, as A and D assert. Similarly, C and E can be eliminated because the passage does not assert that previous studies neglected any particular subject, only that Glatthaar’s work “concentrates more intensely on Black-White relations than do…its predecessors.”
