2、as to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject. Too close a relation, and the writer may lose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul, the quality of life. Who should write the biography of a family, f
3、or example? Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have the distance that would allow them to be fair. Similarly, a kings servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might no
4、t have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the kings biographynot for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work with the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the
5、 subject. Every position has strengths and weaknesses; to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly.When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive; they attempt to show
6、that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus found in the Bible are in this class.Biographers may claim that their account is the “authentic” one. In advancing this claim,
7、 they are helped if the biography is “authorized” by the subject; this presumably allows the biographer special access to private information. “Unauthorized” biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, the “unauth
8、orized” characterization usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. A subject might have several biographies, even several “authentic” ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell “the” story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and t

15、ose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul, the quality of life.（传记作者必须在关于这个传记对象的两个不稳定的立场之间摇摆。关系太亲密，作者可能会失去客观性。关系不够近，作者可能缺乏足够的激情去努力刻画人物的思想、灵魂这些生活的本质）可知A选项“非常了解这个传记对象，并与其保持适当的距离”符合题意。第2题:推理判断题。文章第三段中的内容为：当他们的对象是英雄或著名人物时，传记往往揭示出一种民主的动机；他们试图向人民展示他们的主也只是人，并没有比任何人都好。而其它的传记则是有意要改变我们，鼓励我们变得比我们之前更好。圣经中耶稣的传记就属于后一类。由此可知作者引用了耶稣在圣经中的传记，是为了表明传记可以有不同的目的，因此选D。第3题:推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell “the” story of a life, perhaps not even the subject, and this
