Exercise1
Great comic art is never otherworldly, it does not seek to mystify us, and it does not deny ambiguity by branding as evil whatever differs from good. Great comic artists assume that truth may bear all lights, and thus they seek to accentuate contradictions
in social action, not gloss over or transcend them by appeals to extra-social symbols of divine ends, cosmic purpose, or laws of nature. The moment of transcendence in great comic art is a social moment, born out of the conviction that we are human, even though
we try to be gods. The comic community to which artists address themselves is a community of reasoning, loving, joyful, compassionate beings, who are willing to assume the human risks of acting rationally. Without invoking gods or demons, great comic art arouses
courage in reason, courage which grows out of trust in what human beings can do as humans.
1. Which of the following is the most accurate description of the organization of the passage?
(A A sequence of observations leading to a prediction
(B A list of inferences drawn from facts stated at the beginning of the passage
(C A series of assertions related to one general subject
(D A statement of the major idea, followed by specific examples
(E A succession of ideas moving from specific to general
2. In the context of the passage, “accentuate” is closest in meaning to :
(A emphasize
(B overlook
(C deemphasize
(D realize
(E apprehend
答案:
C A
