Part A (10 points) A Letter, to Quit

Jun 22, 2005 Dear Mr. Wang,

First of all, please allow me to express my deep sorry to you for my resignation. I do know that this will bring about much trouble to you so that I write to you for my explanation.

I decided to quit for some reasons as follows. To begin with, the job as an editor for the magazine Designs & Fashions is not suitable to me. What’s more, I’m preparing for another degree and I prefer to further my study. Again, I apologize for my resignation to you!

I am looking forward to your early reply.

Y ours Sincerely,

Li Ming Part B (20 points)

A Helpless Father

The picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father’s negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father “roll into” their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.

Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four children’s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the

disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.

Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.

2005年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)试题答案详解

Section I Use of English

1. C空格前讲的是,和动物相比,人的嗅觉常被认为不灵敏,空格后讲的是,…这主要是因为,…动物,我们是直立的。由本段首句"人的鼻子是一个被低估的工具"可知,作者并不认同"人的嗅觉没有动物的灵敏"这一有关人类嗅觉的常规观点。由此可推知,空格前后部分存在隐形的转折关系,即作者并不认为人的鼻子不灵敏,只不过因为人是直立的,故正确答案为C项。

2. B空格所在部分讲的是,这主要是因为,…动物,我们是直立的。因人类是直立的,而动物不是直立的。由此可知,空格处所填单词应表示对比含义,unlike意为"与…不同",符合文意,故选B。

3. A空格所在部分讲这意味着我们的鼻子…感知在空气中飘过的气味。由上句可知,和动物不同,人类是直立的,由此可知,人的鼻子只能感知在空气中飘过的气味。因此,空格处应填表示"局限"的词。limit和confine都表示"局限",但confine意为"限制",表示限制在一定活动、领域、地域内。limit意为"局限于",表示时间、空间、程度、数量等方面所能或允许达到的最大程度,符合文意,故选A。

4. C 空格所在部分讲的是,…大多数紧贴地面的气味。由上文可知,和动物不同,人类是直立的,人的鼻子只限于感知在空气中飘过的气味。由此可知,人类"不能感知"大多数紧贴地面的气味。catch意为"捕捉",track意为"追踪",显然都不符合文意。ignore意为主观上"忽视",文中并没有体现人们故意忽视地面上的气味,因此,不符合文意。miss意为"错过,未察觉",符合文意,即人的鼻子只限于感知在空气中飘过的气味,"未能察觉到"大多数紧贴地面的气味。

5. B空格所在部分讲的是,事实上,…,我们对气味非常敏感。由上文可知,人的鼻子只限于感知在空气中飘过的气味,而遗漏了大多数紧贴地面的气味。由此可知空格所在部分和上文间为转折关系。though作副词时,意为"可是",符合文意,故选B项。

6. A 空格所在句讲的是,然而,实际上,我们对气味非常敏感,…我们通常意识不到这一点。显然,空格前后为让步关系,even if 意为"即使",符合文意,故选A。

7. D 空格所在部分讲的是,我们的鼻子能够…人类的气味。由此可知,空格处需填入一个动词,和后面的"人类的气味"构成动宾搭配。distinguish意为"区分,辨别",常表示"人通过看、听的感官来识别事物",discover意为"(第一个)发现",determine意为"查明,测定",显然,这三项均不符合文意。detect意为"查明,察觉",符合文意,即"我们的鼻子能够觉察人类的气味",故选D。

8. A 空格所在句讲即使这些气味被…到百万分之一以下。dissolve意为"溶解",disperse意为"分散",diffuse意为"使分散",这三项均不能修饰human smells。dilute意为"稀释",合文意,即"我们的鼻子能够觉察人类的气味,即使这些气味被稀释到百万分之一以下",故选A。

9. D 空格所在句的含义为"奇怪的是,一些人发现他们能闻到一种花的气味却闻不到另一种,…另一些人对这两种花的气味同样敏感"。显然,空格前后为对比关系,whereas意为"然而,但是",用于比较或对比两个事实,符合文意,故正确答案为D项。

10. B 空格所在句的含义为"这可能是因为有些人不具备必要的基因在鼻子里产生…的气味接收器"。由文意可知,这句话是对上一句话的解释,即一些人闻不到另一种花的气味是因为他们不具备必要的基因在鼻子里产生…的气味接收器。由此可推知,这种气味接收器是"特定的",故选B项。

11. C 空格所在句的含义为"这些气味接收器是一些细胞,它们感知到气味,并向大脑发送…。""向大脑发送信号"符合逻辑与文意,故正确答案为C项。

12. A空格所在句讲的是,但是,研究发现,即使是对某种气味不敏感的人…,如果经常…这种气味,也会突然变得对它敏感起来。由此可知,本句是讲人对气味的敏感在某种条件下可以改变。因此可推知,"之前",人对这种气味是不敏感的。at first意为"起初,起先",符合逻辑与文意,故选A。

13. D 空格所在部分省略了主语people和be动词,讲的是人对某种气味由"不敏感"变得"敏感"的条件。由此可推知,人只有经常"闻到"这种气味,才会对它变得敏感,be exposed to意为"暴露于",符合文意,即"如果经常接触这种气味",故正确答案为D项。

14. C 空格所在部分讲嗅觉不敏感的原因可能是因为大脑觉得,使所有气味接收器一直工作…,考生需判断"所有气味接收器一直工作"的后果。incompetent意为"无能力的,不胜任的",主语一般是人,因此不合文意。另外,所有气味接收器一直工作也不会"没效果"或"不充分",因此,A和D也不符合文意。inefficient意为"效率低的",符合文意,即"所有气味接收器一直工作效率不高",故选C。

15. D空格所在部分讲的是,但是在需要时,大脑可以…新的气味接收器。由上文可知,大脑不让所有的气味接收器一直工作,因为那样的效率很低。由but可知,空格所在部分和上文构成转折关系,因此,空格处所填单词应有"使气味接收器工作"的含义。summon 意为"召唤",主语一般是人,因此不符合文意。另外,大脑也不可能"推行"或是"引起"新的气味接收器,因此,选项A和C也不符合文意。create意为"创造;创作",符合文意,即"但是在需要时,大脑可以创建新的气味接收器",故选D。

16. B空格所在句讲这可以…解释为什么我们总是对自己的气味不敏感--只是不需要而已。由文意可知,其中"this"指代上一句提到的大脑工作的原理,即"大脑觉得,使所有气味接收器一直工作效率低下"。由此可知,和上一句提到的"嗅觉不敏感的原因"一样,"我们总是对自己的气味不敏感"的原因也能用大脑的这个工作原理来解释。因此,空格所在句和上句为并列关系,also意为"也",符合文意。

17. C空格所在部分讲的是,我们不会…自己家里的气味。由上文可知,我们总是对自己的气味不敏感,由此可推知,我们对熟悉的

气味不敏感,故我们对自己家里的气味也会"不敏感"。be aware of意为"察觉到,发觉",符合文意,故正确答案为C项。

18. D空格所在部分讲的是,我们察觉不到自己家里惯有的气味,但是当我们拜访其他人的家时,就会…新的气味。由"但是"可知,这两句之间为转折关系,因此,空格处所填单词的含义应与"察觉不到"相反。notice意为"意识到",符合文意,故选D项。

19. A空格所在部分讲的是,大脑发现最好让气味接收器…以便捕捉不熟悉和紧急的信号,此处for表示对象。由此可知,气味接收器只有是"可使用的",而不是"可靠的"、"可辨认的"或是"合适的",才能捕捉不熟悉和紧急的信号,故正确答案为A项。

20. B空格前讲"不熟悉和紧急的信号",空格后讲"可能意味着有火险的烟味"。"可能意味着有火险的烟味"是"紧急的信号"的一种。由此可知空格前后为例证关系,故选B。

Section II Reading Comprehension

Part A Text 1

21. C 细节事实题。根据第一段第④⑤句可知,不公平意识被认为是"人之常情",其潜在的假定是其他动物不可能具有如此细腻的不公平意识。然而一项研究表明,这也是"猴之常情"。由此可知,作者在第一段中"通过将人类和猴子进行对比的方式",引出动物间不公平意识这一话题,comparison一词主要强调比较事物之间的相同之处,故选C项。

22. B 推理判断题。根据第一段第④⑤句可知,这种表现被认为是"人之常情",其潜在的假定是其他动物不可能具有如此细腻的不公平意识。接着作者进行转折指出,"然而"一项研究表明,这也是"all too monkey",由此可知,作者认为猴子之间也具有这种"不公平意识",故选B项。

23. A 细节事实题。根据第二段第④句可知,最重要的是,就象人类女性一样,雌性僧帽猴往往比雄性更加关注"商品和服务"的价值。由此可知,雌僧帽猴被选来作研究最主要的原因是它们"更加倾向于注重它们所得的东西",故选A项。

24. C 细节事实题。根据第五段第③句可知,只有当每只猴子感到自己未受欺骗时,这种合作才得以维持。由此可知,猴子们"如果感到被欺骗就不会合作",故选C项。

25. B 推理判断题。据第五段第⑥句可知,这种公平感是在僧帽猴和人类身上各自独立进化而成,还是源自三千五百万年前他们共同的祖先,仍是个"待解决"问题。由此可知,人类愤怒的来源不得而知。

Text 2

26. C 推理判断题。根据第一段第③句可知,作者提问,是否还记得怀疑者们坚持认为"禁烟的游说想毁掉我们的生活方式",而政府应当置身事外的时候呢?由此可以推知,该问题的隐含之意是吸烟的支持者们认为人们"有选择自己的生活方式的自由",所以关于"禁烟"的游说就是要"毁掉人们的生活方式",故选C项。

27. D 细节事实题。根据第二段第⑤句提到的艾伯特的观点可知,科学确实能够为我们的未来"提供有效的指引",关键是我们的国家和整个世界在制定重要决策时,都应以科学能够提供的关于人类现在的行为对未来影响的最佳判断为依据。由此可知,艾伯特认为科学可以作为"引导者",故选D项。

28. A 猜测词义题。根据第四段第③句可知,他们(指美国政府)"没有出台任何行动计划",反而"只是继续迫切要求进行更多的研究"--这是一个典型的"分析导致麻痹"的例子。由此可知,作者认为不断的分析研究会扼杀行动,故选A项。

29. D 细节事实题。根据第五段第③句可知,倘若政府不争取立法上的主动权,国会就应当帮助政府开始制定保护措施。由此可知,作者认为政府应当争取立法的主动权,即采取一些法律措施来应对全球变暖,故选D项。

30. B 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容,作者将"吸烟问题"与"全球变暖"进行了对比,指出有的人认为全球变暖的证据不够充分而对其表示怀疑。第三段时作者进一步指出,等有充分证据来证明全球变暖时,一切都太迟了。由此可知,作者认为人们从吸烟问题中吸取的教训(即人们应当及时采取措施,而不是坚持认为证据尚不充分)同样适用于全球变暖问题,故选B项。

31. A 细节事实题。根据第一段第⑤⑥⑦句提到的研究人员的观点可知,一名著名权威人士提到,梦这种异常强烈的精神活动还"可以被我们有意识地控制"。卡特赖特说"梦是你自己的,如果不喜欢,就改变它"。由以上几点可知,研究人员认为,梦在形成过程中

"能够被改变",故选A项。

32. C推理判断题。根据第二段第①句可知,作者指出"大脑造影的证据支持了上述观点","上述观点"即首段中提到的观点,作者认为"梦是大脑情感自动调温器的一部分,可对情绪进行调节"。作者在第二段第③句提到了"边缘系统"也是在详细描述"大脑造影的证据"。由以上几点可以推知,作者通过提到大脑的边缘系统,描述了"大脑造影的证据",从而说明其支持"梦与情感相联系"的观点,故选C。

33. D细节事实题。根据第三段第②句可知,多数人似乎"在晚上入睡不久后做较多噩梦",而在睡醒之前会逐渐做一些开心的梦,这表明人们在梦里"逐渐消除了白天的不良情绪"。由此可知,白天期间产生的负面情绪往往"出现在夜晚早期的梦中",故选D项。34. D 推理判断题。根据第四段第①句,这一过程(指做梦)"未必是无意识的"。由此可以推知,作者认为"做梦可能不完全属于无意识行为",故选D项。

35. A 推理判断题。根据第五段卡特赖特的观点,在一天结束时,只要梦不使我们睡不着或"从梦中惊醒",就无需去在意它。本段最后也提到"对于那些没有长期受到噩梦困扰的人,安心睡觉--或者做梦,早上醒来时你将会感觉好多了"。由此可以推知,卡特赖特暗示人们只需要"像往常一样生活"。

Text 4

36. B 细节事实题。根据第二段第②句可知,麦克沃特先生擅长的学术领域是语言史以及语言演变。他认为诸如"whom"这个正式英语词汇的逐渐消失是"自然的",并不比古英语中尾格的消失更让人遗憾。由此可知,麦克沃特认为正式英语的退化只不过是语言发展中的自然现象,故选B项。

37. D 猜测词义题。根据第三段第①句可知,"走自己的路"这一对事物真实性和个人性的崇高信条,已经使正式演讲、写作、诗歌及音乐的消亡了",即正式英语已经在退化了。第三段第④句指出,无论作为口语的英语还是书面语的英语,talking要胜过speaking,spontaneity(即兴发挥)也要胜过craft(精心准备)。由此可知,talking与speaking的对比就类似于spontaneity和craft的对比,"即兴发

挥"代表使用非正式的语言,"精心准备"代表使用正式的语言。因此talking与speaking的对比也就是非正式英语和正式英语的对比,talking代表的就是非正式英语,故选D项。

38. A 细节事实题。根据第四段第④句可知,麦克沃特先生并不认为"我们说话方式不再规范就会影响我们去准确地思考"。换言之,麦克沃特先生认为"逻辑思维同我们的说话方式无必然联系",选A。

39. B 观点态度题。根据第五段的内容,作者首先描述了俄罗斯人爱好背诵诗歌以及意大利的政客们倾向于精心准备演讲。作者举例的目的就是为了说明下文的观点,即"麦克沃特为那些虽不实用却很美好的事物的消逝而哀叹"。由此可知,在作者的眼里,"俄罗斯人爱好背诵诗歌"和"意大利的政客精心准备演讲"都属于"虽不实用却很美好的事物"。由此可以推知,作者对俄罗斯人的做法持欣赏态度,所以才表达出对美好事物正在消逝的哀叹,故选B项。

40. C 推理判断题。根据第五段第②③句可知,麦克沃特先生认为"正式英语"并非不可或缺,他也未提出要对教育进行彻底改革--其实他只是为那些"虽不实用却很美好的事物"的消逝而哀叹,如今我们用"纸盘子"而非"瓷盘子"来装我们的英语大餐。这可能是件惭愧的事情,但已经无法避免。由此可知,作者用"纸盘子"和"瓷盘子"来比喻正式英语的退化,联系上文可以推知,"纸盘子"指的是那些"实用却不美好"的事物,即非正式英语,"瓷盘子"则是指那些"不实用却美好"的事物,即正式英语,故选C。

Part B

41.E 因果关系。空格前面提到加拿大各省官员都在抱怨医疗预算的飞涨,尤其是药品费用的不断增长。空格后面的内容则由"what to do"引出下文对此问题的解决办法。可以看出两段内容衔接紧密,因此空白处的内容也须和"药品费用"有关。浏览各选项,只有E 选项提到了"药品费用",包括药品价格上涨的幅度和具体表现,恰好为上一段提到的"药费"上涨提供了依据,构成因果逻辑关系。42.C 转折关系。空格前面提到建立国家药物管理机构,空格后面则以"but"引出了转折,说"国家"不一定指那个意思,接下来就表述了它的一个概念,即各省联合起来成立的一个机构。可知,空白处的内容应是对"国家"的一个解释,而代词"that"即指代这一概念。43.G 顺接关系。空格前面谈到成立国家机构来争取降低药品的价格,如从经济学角度讲,潜在客户群越大,获得优惠价格的可能

性就越大。空后讲到成立国家代理机构后取得的一项小突破。据上下文逻辑关系推断,空白处内容也应围绕成立国家代理机构而展开。浏览各选项,提到"national agency" 或同义词的有A, B, G,而对于B项中出现的指代词"they", 无法从上文中找到所指代的相应名词,所以排除。A项最易误选,因为它和上文都提到了专有名词Quebec, 但其内容主要是魁北克地方保护主义的表现和药品上涨的情况,与前后内容不衔接,因此不对。G选项涉及医药公司对设立国家药物机构的反应,表明其成立具有现实可能性,与下文所取得的进展存在着内容与逻辑上的一致性。

44.F 顺接关系。空格前面讲到某些省对联邦政府和省政府之间的交易持怀疑态度,空格后则指出这些省长们应该读读报告中有关药品的论述,了解成立国家药物机构的好处。可以推断,空白处内容要么是继续讨论来自这些省份的阻力,即承上;要么是建议他们更多了解成立国家机构的意义,即启下。符合条件的有B和F两项,但由于B项开头的并列连词"or" 使其无法与上文衔接,因此不对。F项虽然把上文的关键词"premiers"换成了"provinces", 但其内容还是建议各省实现全国药物代理机构的功能,与上下文内容逻辑关系紧密。

45.B 对照关系。空前指出省长们应该读读Romanow的报告,B项则提到读一读Kirby的报告,结构与上文类似,且还重复运用了关键词"report", 即暗含两份报告存在意义上的相似或相反特征。另外,两个专有名词Mr. Romanow和Mr. Kirby都已在第四段中被提到,他们都提倡建立国家药物代理机构。

Part C

46. 考点:被动语态的翻译,技巧就是通常把英文的被动语态翻译成中文的主动语态,即翻译技巧中的语态转换翻译。这样可翻成这样“电视是制造和传播这种情绪的媒介(手段、方式)之一”。下面的采分点是倒装句,把否定词放在句前,形成一个倒装。这句翻译要注意,要把整个的句子看懂,进行词性、语序的转换。把“从来也没有如此大的作用”放在句末。这也是翻译的一个转换技巧。译文:电视是创造和传递感情的手段之一。也许在此之前,就加强不同的民族和国家之间的联系而言,电视还从来没有像在最近的欧洲事件中起过如此大的作用。

47. 考点:前面几乎可以直译,“在欧洲就像在其他地方一样多媒体集团越来越成功了”。当然根据中文表达可把句子加以转换,译成“和其他地方一样,欧洲的多媒体集团越来越成熟”。下半句有个定语从句离主干的句子较远,在句末,但翻译时须提前。

译文:多媒体集团在欧洲就像在其他地方一样越来越成功了。这些集团把相互关系密切的电视台、电台、报纸、杂志、出版社整合到了一起。

48. 考点:代词要依赖上下文内容,代词后有副词“alone”,“alone”译成“仅此一点”,“仅这一点就表明在电视行业里生存不那么容易”。此外“underlined”,考了它一个特殊意义“强调;凸显” 。

译文:仅这一点就表明在电视行业不是一个容易生存的领域。这个事实通过统计数字一目了然,统计表明在80家欧洲电视网中1989年出现亏损的不少于50%。

49. 考点:嵌套式定语从句使主语的后置定语很长,翻译时需要先根据原句的次序梳理思路,再按照汉语的行文习惯,将后置的定语从句提前,放于被限定的名词之前翻译。

译文:创造一个尊重不同文化和传统的“欧洲统一体”绝非易事,需要战略性选择。正是这些文化和传统组成了连接欧洲大陆的纽带。

50. 考点:宾语从句为含有对称结构的两个并列分句,过去分词united和divided分别在两个分句中作条件状语。

译文:在应付一个如此规模的挑战过程中,我们可以毫不夸张地说,“团结,我们就会站起来;分裂,我们就会倒下去。”

2005年考研英语完形填空真题解析

2005 年考研英语完形填空真题解析 The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals,1this is largely because,2animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, 5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million. Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough. The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary.

名师解析2008年考研英语阅读理解真题

名师解析2008年考研英语阅读理解真题 点评2008考研阅读理解 上海新东方学校乐柯健 年年岁岁题相似,岁岁年年题不同,这句话诠释了今考研阅读的特点,总体基本保持稳定,接下来笔者就Part A 部分中的文章,题型和解题方法作一个大致分析。 1) 文章难度基本保持稳定 首先考研阅读理解Part A的四篇文章难度依然呈现递增式的现象。前两篇比较简单,后两篇相对较难。这一趋势已经维持了十几年,也就告诉我们09年的考生在考场上的时间分配上可以依循”15,15,20,20”原则--即前两篇每篇15分钟,后两篇每篇20分钟。其次文章在选材上依然以社会科学为主,热点事件为主,如第二篇讲话讲述的一种新型出版方式--网络出版。另外笔者发现因为本世纪以来涉及网络相关的话题的文章很多,如01年第二篇网络可以解决信息分化的问题、03年的第一篇网络间谍、04年的第一篇网络找工作,所以考生应重点关注该领域的热门事件。再次从文章结构上来看,和历年也几乎一样。如第三篇文章讲述的是身高问题,作者就用了”由点到面”这一常见的写作

手法。而这种写作手法从本世纪来几乎年年都考,如01年第五篇讲述简单化生活的文章、03年第一篇讲述网络间谍的文章、04年第三篇讲述美国经济减速的文章、05年第二篇讲述全球变暖的文章、06年Part B讲述赌博的文章、07年第一篇成功并非取决于天才。最后由于我们所考的文章绝大部分选自西方的报刊杂志,而新闻记者惯用”引用”的方法。因此我们的文中会出现大量的专家学者的观点,这就要去考生一定要读懂每个人的各自观点,这也经常是考点所在。如今年第一篇文章的第二题”Dr. Yehudn’s research suggests that women”就是该类型的题目。 2) 题型仍以细节事实题和推理判断题为主 在2005年之前,推理判断在每年的考试中出现3-4题,自2005年开始考研的阅读理解中大量增加了推理和判断题,05年考了8道,06年考了7题,07年考了7题。这一现象持续至今。以今年的考题为例,推理判断依然是考试重点,一共考察了8题(21,27,30,32,33,34,37,39)。考研中另外一个重要的题型是细节事实题,因为考研的特点就是考察精读,,因此细节事实题历年都占据7-8题。今年也不例外,一共考察了7题(22,23,28,29,36,38,40)。从以上分析我们得知,09年的考生应该特别关注这两种题型。 3) 解题方法和历年相似

最新考研英语(一)阅读理解全文翻译及解析

Text 1 ①Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage. ①It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. ②Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. ③To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies. ① We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War 2,at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. ②In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. ③Theirs was a serious business. and even those reviews who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. ④These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. ⑤So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in ournalism,Newman wrote, "that I am tempted to define "journalism" as "a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are". ①Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. ②Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. ③During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. ④He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. ⑤Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. ①Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? ②The prospect seems remote.③Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly uphostered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. ④Moreover,the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat. 全文翻译: 在过去的25 年英语报纸所发生的变化中,影响最深远的可能就是它们对艺术方面的报道在范围上毫无疑问的缩小了,而且这些报道的严肃程度也绝对降低了。 对于年龄低于40岁的普通读者来讲,让他们想象一下当年可以在许多大城市报纸上读到精品的文艺评论简直几乎是天方夜谭。然而,在20世纪出版的最重要的文艺评论集中,人们读到的大部分评论文章都是从报纸上收集而来。现在,如果读到这些集子,人们肯定会惊诧,当年这般渊博深奥的内容竟然被认为适合发表在大众日报中。

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2005年part4

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2005年part4 Part Four Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of language and Music and why We should, Like, Care, John Mcwhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, see the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English. Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education. Mr Mcwhorter's academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of "whom", for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss the case-endings of Old English. But the cult of the authentic and the personal, "doing our own thing," has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960's even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative genre is the only form that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft. Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. Mcwhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like, care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive - there exists no language or dialect in the world that
