I enjoyed A Dream of Light & Shadow: Portraits of Latin American Women Writers for the same reasons that, as a child, I avidly consumed women’s biographies: the fascination with how the biographical details of another female’s life are represented and interpreted.
A Dream offers a rich read, varied in both the lives and texts of the women portrayed, and the perspectives and styles of the sixteen essayists. Yet, as an adult, I have come to demand of any really “great” book a self-consciousness about the tenuous nature of representations of reality, a critical contextualization of florid detail, and a self-awareness of the role of ideology in our lives. In these critical senses, A Dream is inadequate.
1.The author of the passage suggests that A Dream falls short in which of the following respects?

答案:AC
2.Which of the following best describes the function of the second sentence (“A Dream . . . essayists”) in the context of the passage as a whole?
A:To give examples of how A Dream presents fascinating portraits that display awareness of the tenuous nature of representations of reality

D:To illustrate ways in which the author finds A Dream to be inadequate in certain critical senses
