Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By The North Gate, in 1963, two years after she had received her master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and become an instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has been prodigious, accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verses, plays, and literary criticism. In the meantime, she has continued to teach, moving in 1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of verses, in Ontario, and, in 1978, to Princeton University. Reviewers have admired her enormous energy, but find a productivity of such magnitude difficult to assess.
In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality of her fiction. Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness. Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly from the experiences of others. Her first novel, With Shuddering FaU(1964), dealt with stock car racing, though she had never seen a race. In Them (1969) she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students. Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations, however, her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the television, news, and talk shows, and the popular magazines of our day.
Which of the following does the passage indicate about Joyce Carol Oates first publication?
选项
A、It was part of her master’s thesis.
B、It was a volume of short fiction.
C、It was not successful.
D、It was about an English instructor in Detroit.
答案
B
解析
细节定位题。 first publication在短文中第1段第1句中出现,原句是:Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories,By the North Gate,in 1963...,意思是:1963出版了其处女作一短篇小说集《北门边》。从而可以看出B项“是一部短篇小说集”正确。collection与B选项中的volume,stories与B选项中的 fiction是近义词。
