我们以前曾经谈到过的结构化阅读方法实际上对于长小说来说也是适用的。因为任何一篇节选出来成为考题的小说必然会包含一定的人物和事件，而对人物和事件的描写或者叙述性段落必然会交代相应的背景以及事件的大致发展。如果对于人物的性格也有刻画，那么小说后文当中所涉及到的人物对白及其行为必然能够与人物的性格相联系。我们先看第一个例子： OG P975 The following passage is excerpted from a British novel published in the mid-nineteenth century. It was interesting to be in the quiet old town once more, and it was not disagreeable to be here and there suddenly recognized and stared after. One or two of the tradespeople line even darted out of their shops, and went a little way down 5 the street before me, that they might turn, as if they had forgotten something, and pass me face to face- on which occasions I don’t know whether they or I made the worse pretence they of not doing it, or I of not seeing it.
