问题     In recent decades, scholars of American literature have skillfully revealed authors’ simultaneous accommodation and resistance to an increasingly commercialized, capitalized environment during the early nineteenth century. Historians of the period have not, however, fully exploited literary criticism, due to the disciplinary boundaries that mark contemporary academic research. Few historians have extensive training in critical theory and its specialized languages, and the sheer volume of work in early American history and literature challenges anyone who would master either field, much less both. Moreover, historians study people across the nation, but much literary scholarship called “American” actually examines works produced in northeastern states. And historians usually study the operations of capitalism in its details, while literary critics produce a generalized picture of literary commodification.
The passage cites which of the following as a reason for historians’ failure to fully exploit literary criticism?

选项 A、historians’ overly thematic approach to literature
B、historians’ conservative notion of what constitutes literature
C、historian’s lack of interest in critical theory
D、the distinctive nature of much literary criticism
E、the ahistorical quality of much literary criticism

答案D

解析 第二句due to disciplinary boundary…解释了为什么没能充分利用文学评论,所以在选项中找含有“学科差异”或“不同”含义的选项,选项D正确。
