As it was published in 1935, Mules and Men, Zora Neale Hurston’s landmark collection of folktales, may not have been the book that its author first had in mind. In this anthropological study, Hurston describes in detail the people who tell the stories, often even inserting herself into the storytelling scene. Evidently, however, Hurston had prepared another version, a manuscript that was recently discovered and published after having been forgotten since 1929. This version differs from Mules and Men in that it simply records stories, with no descriptive or interpretive information.
While we cannot know for certain why Hurston’s original manuscript went unpublished during her lifetime, it may have been because publishers wanted something more than a transcription of tales. Contemporary novelist and critic John Edgar Wideman has described Black literature as the history of a writing that sought to escape its frame, in other words, as the effort of Black writers to
present
the stories of Black people without having to have a mediating voice to explain the stories to a non-Black audience. In this, Hurston may have been ahead of her time.
Replacement of the word “present" with which of the following results in the least change in meaning for the passage?
选项
A、hand over
B、donate
C、offer
D、propose
E、submit
答案
C
解析
根据本题的定位点to present the stories of Black people without having to have a mediating voice to explain the stories to a non-Black audience可知,present本意是“呈现”,根据上下文理解,指的是客观地呈现这些故事,而没有作者的主观解释,因此选项C最合适。
