__________
[A] German-born British scholar Max Müller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India-the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language-reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology. M ller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.
[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called, was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.
[C] Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths—like dreams—condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.
[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor. In Primitive Culture (1871), Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.
[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottolob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths (instead of fibula, meaning “fable”) to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.
[F] German scholar Karl Otfried M ller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology, 1825).
本题考核的知识点是:上下文内容的衔接。
本题空格出现在第二段。上文提到一种结论:神话人物变化多样,不仅随地理区域也随历史时期而变化。下文则通过引用专家观点给出了论据,即他提出相对简单的希腊神话反映了初级农耕社会所关注的问题,而更为错综复杂的神话则是较发达社会的产物。因此上下文的主题都是关于历史时期对神话的影响,即不同的时期有不同的神话。由于下文中出现了特征词——人称代词he,因此空格处应出现专有人名,但所有的选项都符合这个条件,因此关键是内容上的衔接。[A]项提到,神话是曲解了早期人类对自然现象生动形象的叙述而产生的。[B]项指出所有神话源自于社会的集体宗教仪式。[C]项提到,神话像梦一样,把经历浓缩并用象征的方式表达出来。[D]项指出,人类宗教和哲学发展可以分成不同的进化阶段。[E]项谈到第一位用拉丁词myths来指英雄和神的故事的学者。显然,以上选项都超出了上下文的主题,含有新信息。而[F]项只提到一个专有人名和他的代表作,没有给出新信息。其中this line of inquiry(这种研究思路)指上文的“神话随历史时期而变化”。
注:1Persephone珀尔塞福涅,宙斯之女,被冥王劫持娶作冥后。其母亲谷神得墨忒耳大为发狂,威胁冥王如果不交还女儿就将人类世界变成永恒的冬天。他们最终达成了协议,在最温暖的夏季的开始,珀尔塞福涅被交回自己母亲的身边。而每到冬天,珀尔塞福涅也要回到地府陪伴冥王哈迪斯。而得墨忒耳也派出战车去人间播种,让经历过严酷惩罚的人间再次恢复生机。2Homer荷马,希腊史诗作者,创作了西方文学最伟大的两部作品《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》。
