    It has been suggested that part of Hemingway’s genius lies in the way in which he removes himself from his stories in order to let readers experience the stories for themselves. Which of the following elements of the passage support this suggestion?　　Ⅰ. The comparison of “designer’s initials” to the man who fell and lay in the gutter (the last paragraph) during the running of bulls　　Ⅱ. Hemingway’s stated intent to project for the reader “he way it was” (the second paragraph)　　III. Hemingway’s ability to invent fascinating tales from his own experience

    B

    Ⅱ only

    C

    I and Ⅱ only

    D

    I and III only


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    最后一段的“as inconspicuous as possible”说明“the man in the gutter”是完全不引人注目的，而作者本身就如同这个角色一样，将自己置身度外，让读者自己体会。因此Ⅰ是正确的。当作者将故事如同故事本身所发上的那样呈现在读者眼前时，作者本身也就脱离故事了，因此Ⅱ也是正确的。
