The consequences of this neglect of traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for th

12、e (5) study of women writers. If the canonthe list of authors whose works are most widely taughtis ever to include more women, scholars must be well trained in historical scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know how to read early manuscripts, locate rare books, establish (10)a seque

13、nce of editions, and so on are bereft of crucial tools for revising the canon. To address such concerns, an experimental version of the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to raise students consciousness about the usefulness of (15)traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist

14、. To minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course, the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods was abandoned, though this procedure has the obvious (20)advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students wit

15、h a wide range of reference sources. Instead students were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on a neglected eighteenth-century writer, Elizabeth Griffith, to give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship (25)and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of t

16、heir own work. Griffiths work presented a number of advantages for this particular pedagogical purpose. First, the body of extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all (30)be read in a day; thus students spent little time and effort mastering the literature and had a clear field for

17、their own discoveries. Griffiths play The Platonic Wife exists in three versions, enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addi-(35)tion, because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth cen-tury, as her continued productivity and fav

18、orable reviews demonstrate, her exclusion from the canon and virtual dis-appearance from literary history also helped raise issues concerning the current canon.(40) The range of Griffiths work meant that each student could become the worlds leading authority on a particular Griffith text. For exampl

19、e, a student studying Griffiths Wife in the Right obtained a first edition of the play and studied it for some weeks. This student was suitably (45)shocked and outraged to find its title transformed into AWife in the Night in Watts Bibliotheca Britannica. Such experiences, inevitable and common in w

20、orking on a writer to whom so little attention has been paid, serve to vaccinate the student -I hope for a lifetimeagainst credulous use of reference sources. 17.The author of the passage is primarily concerned with (A) revealing a commonly ignored deficiency(B) proposing a return to traditional ter

21、minology (C) describing an attempt to correct a shortcoming (D) assessing the success of a new pedagogical approach (E) predicting a change in a traditional teaching strategy 18.It can be inferred that the author of the passage expects that the experience of the student mentioned as having studied W

22、ife in the Right would have which of the fol-lowing effects?(A) It would lead the student to disregard information found in the Bibliotheca Britannica.(B) It would teach the student to question the accuracy of certain kinds of information sources when studying neglected authors. (C) It would teach t

23、he student to avoid the use of refer-ence sources in studying neglected authors. (D) It would help the student to understand the impor-tance of first editions in establishing the author-ship of plays. (E) It would enhance the students appreciation of the works of authors not included in the canon.19

24、. The author of the passage suggests that which of the following is a disadvantage of the strategy employed in the experimental scholarly methods course?(A) Students were not given an opportunity to study women writers outside the canon.(B) Students original work would not be appreciated by recogniz

25、ed scholars.(C) Little scholarly work has been done on the work of Elizabeth Griffith.(D) Most of the students in the course had had little opportunity to study eighteenth-century literature. (E) Students were not given an opportunity to encoun-ter certain sources of information that could prove use

26、ful in their future studies. 20. Which of the following best states the particular pedagogical purpose mentioned in line 28?(A) To assist scholars in revising the canon of authors (B) To minimize the trivial aspects of the traditional scholarly methods course(C) To provide students with information

27、about Griffiths work(D) To encourage scholarly rigor in students own research(E) To reestablish Griffiths reputation as an author 21. Which of the following best describes the function of the last paragraph in relation to the passage as a whole?(A) It summarizes the benefits that students can derive

28、 from the experimental scholarly methods course. (B) It provides additional reasons why Griffiths work raises issues having to do with the canon of authors. (C) It provides an illustration of the immediate nature of the experiences students can derive from the experimental scholarly methods course.

29、(D) It contrasts the experience of a student in the experimental scholarly methods course with the experience of a student in the traditional course (E) It provides information that emphasizes the suita-bility of Griffiths work for inclusion in the canon of authors. 22. It can be inferred that which

30、 of the following is most likely to be among the issues mentioned in line 38?(A) Why has the work of Griffith, a woman writer who was popular in her own century, been excluded from the canon?(B) In what ways did Griffiths work reflect the polit-ical climate of the eighteenth century?(C) How was Grif

31、fiths work received by literary critics during the eighteenth century?(D) How did the error in the title of Griffiths play come to be made?(E) How did critical reception of Griffiths work affect the quantity and quality of that work?23. It can be inferred that the author of the passage con-siders traditional scholarly methods courses to be (A) irrelevant to the work of most students (B) inconsequenti
