求助一篇36套的短阅读，加大米

Jean Wagner‘s most enduring contribution to the study of Afro-American poetry is his insistence that it be analyzed in a religious, as well as secular, frame of   reference. The appropriateness of such an approach may  seem self-evident for a tradition commencing with spirituals and owing its early forms, rhythms, vocabulary, and evangelical fervor to Wesleyan hymnals. But before Wagner a secular outlook that analyzed Black poetry solely within the context of political and social protest   was dominant in the field.  It is Wagner who first demonstrated the essential fusion of racial and religious feeling in Afro-American poetry. The two, he argued, form a symbiotic union in which religious feelings are often applied to racial issues  and racial problems are often projected onto a metaphysical plane. Wagner found this most eloquently illustrated in the Black spiritual, where the desire for freedom in this world and the hope for salvation in the next are inextricably intertwined.

2. All of the following aspects of Afro-American  poetry are referred to in the passage as having been  influenced by Wesleyan hymnals EXCEPT  
(A) subject matter  
(B) word choice   
(C) rhythm
  (D) structure  
  (E) tone   

定位到红色句子，我觉得选A啊，E tone是指基调的意思吗？

3. It can be inferred from the passage that, before  Wagner, most students of Afro-American poetry did  which of the following?  

(A) Contributed appreciably to the transfer of  political protest from Afro-American poetry to  direct political action.   

(B) Ignored at least some of the historical roots of   Afro-American poetry.  

(C) Analyzed fully the aspects of social protest  to be found in such traditional forms of Afro- American poetry as the Black spiritual.

(D) Regarded as unimportant the development of fervent emotionalism in a portion of Afro-American poetry.   

(E) Concentrated on the complex relations between the technical elements in Afro- American poetry and its political content.

这个答案选B。。。不该是E吗？

第一题，是E。tune就是音调，没有你想的那么复杂，文中就是说黑人文学，没说发音以及音调啊。A，其实文中一直提到的宗教和信仰不就是subject，A应该是影响Wesleyan最大的。至于第二题。。。。呵呵，等大神吧。。。我也觉得是E。。。。（丢人了，，，）

evangelical fervor 是啥意思啊？我查各种字典都说福音热情怎么能和tune联系到一起呢。。。

楼主的答案来源准确不？因为我对这篇文章还有印象，所以翻了下36套，这篇文章是36套EX9的第一篇，2题的正确答案选A，3题正确答案选B。（参考新 GRE 阅读理解 36 套 GRE–RC–36 (2012.01)）

第二题 tone 取韦氏词典的这个意项：a quality, feeling, or attitude expressed by the words that someone uses in speaking or writing， 对应原文的evangelical fervor， 表示一种对宗教狂热的情感态度。 注意原文并没有说黑人诗歌的主题是宗教，而是说应该从宗教的角度来分析黑人诗歌。

第三题，时间对比题。分析原文：Wagner之前主流的分析角度是solely  secular (soely within within the context of political and social protest)， 而Wagner的分析角度是religious as well as secular，所以B答案已经很明显了。E答案中的technical elements是无中生有。楼主可以回过头来想想这篇文章的主旨，其实就是Wagner first proposed the analysis ~ religious + secular

楼上的回答已经很详细了，再补充一点吧，ets就喜欢在选项中加一个错误的单词虽然其他的全部基本都是正确的（就像是e）
做这种细节题首先应该会文章定位然后再回来做题，平时训练的时候这种细节题一定认真做，把每一个选项为什么错了分析出来，时间长了就对这种题的正确答案有感觉了
