2018年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(浙江卷6月) 英语阅读理解译文

2018年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(浙江卷6月) 英语阅读理解译文

A1812年查尔斯·狄更斯出生,那年英国出版的小说有66部。

大部分的专家都将第一部小说追溯为1719年的《鲁滨逊漂流记》,人们写小说的时间已经有一个世纪之久,但是没有人想把创作小说当作职业。

蒸汽为动力的印刷厂仍在发展初期;英国人的识字率低于50%。

许多小说作品出现时并没有作者的名字,经常写着像“写自一位女士”这样的字样。

小说极大程度上被认为是愚蠢、不道德或是极其糟糕的。

1870年狄更斯去世,世界人民悼念他是第一位职业作家和出版人,闻名遐迩且受人爱戴。

狄更斯无论在小说出版方面还是读者心中都引起了轰动。

他塑造的角色都被奉为道德标准,比如雾都孤儿和小蒂姆。

当今狄更斯的伟大无人可以撼动。

若将他移出英国文学的名人殿堂,相当于卢浮宫廉价出售名画《蒙娜丽莎》。

狄更斯是如何走上巅峰的呢?读者会把所有情绪注入在故事中,所以文学是一种数字游戏,也极难经受住时间的考验。

1837年到1901年的维多利亚时代共出版了大约6万本小说,如今随便一个读者就可以说出十几部那个时期小说的名字。

还有一部分原因是因为狄更斯的写作风格吸引了各行各业读者的关注。

另一部分原因是他的作品引领了社会、政治和科技的进步浪潮。

但是他也重新书写了文学文化,将自己放在了核心地位。

谁也不曾想到智慧、野心、能力和运气四者的交织会使狄更斯成为这样一位杰出的作家。

随着狄更斯诞辰200周年的到来,了解他如何名垂青史成为可能,这对我们自己的文化也十分重要。

B史蒂文·斯坦喜欢跟随垃圾车。

如果你知道他是一位研究如何减少垃圾的环境科学家,包括垃圾车下坡行驶时掉下的垃圾,你可能会觉得他的这一怪癖很有意义。

斯坦的一项更为有趣的工作是抵制塑料购物袋背后的产业。

美国人每年使用超过1千亿个薄膜塑料袋。

许多最终都出现在树枝上或在公路沿线,越来越多的城市已经禁止收银台使用薄膜塑料袋。

在加利福尼亚州包括洛杉矶在内的90座城市禁止使用塑料袋。

一些塑料袋制造商眼睁睁地看着这些不利的势头,于是雇用像斯坦这样的科学家证明他们的产品并不是像人们设想的那样会对地球有害。

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of s ocial, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.z.x.xkThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.
