2.You don't know what you've got till it's gone,Joni Mitchell rold us.So now that the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature will be postponed-it seems worth asking what,exactly,the prize gives us.For decades,the choices of the Swedish Academy have failed to provoke much interest from American publishers and readers.This i.s not just because American readers are resistant to fiction in translation,as publishers often complain.On the contrary,over the last two decades,many foreign writers have made a major impact on American literature.But then,the failure of the Swedish Academy to reflect the actual judgment of literary history is nothing new.If you drew a Venn diagram showing the winners of the Nobel Prize in one circle and the most influential and widely read 20th-century writers in the other,their area of overlap would be surprisingly small.Does this mean that a different group of critics and professors in a bigger,more diverse country woulcl have done a better job at picking the winners?Very possibly.In the mind of the general public,the Nobel basically descends from the sky to bless the winner.But it is nothing more or less than the decision of a particular group of readers,with their own strengths and weaknesses.And the problem with the Nobel Prize in Literature goes deeper.No matter who is in the room where it happens,the Nobel Prize is based on the idea that merit can best be determined by a small group of specialists.This may make sense for the prizes in the sciences,since those fields are less than penetrable to anyone but fellow practitioners.Even in the sciences,however,there is a growing sense that the tradition of awarding the prize to just one or two people distoris the way modern science is actually practiced today:Most important discoveries are the work of teams,not of individual geniuses brooding in isolation.Literature is at least produced by individual authors;but in this case,the Nobel's reliance on seemingly expert judgment runs into a different problem.For literature is not addressed to an audience of experts;it is open to the judgment of every reader.Nor is literature proZressive,with new discoveries replacing old ones:Homer is just as groundbreaking today as he was 2,500 years ago.This makes it impossible to rank literary works according to an objective standard of superiority.Good criticism helps people to find the books that will speak to them,but it doesn't attempt to simply name"the most outstanding work,"in the way the Nobel Prize does.A book earns the status of a classic,not because it is approved by a committee or put on a syllabus,but simply because a lot of people like it for a long time.Literary reputation can only emerge on the free market,not through central planning. The author mentioned science prizes to support the view thatA.scientific reputation should depend on expert opinion. B.science prizes should not ignore the work of teams. C.literary writers should be judged by fellow writers. D.literary merit should not rely on specialist judgment.

    We can learn from the last paragraph that

    A.enduring love of readers makes a work a classic.
    B.readers do need the Nobel Prize in Literature.
    C.marketing makes contribution to literary reputation.
    D.excellent works naturally attract much good criticism.

    答案:A
    解析:
    第六段②③句总结道“文学作品只有通过自由竞争,争取读者持久的热爱,才能成为经典、获得声誉”。可见A.正确。[解题技巧]B.与①②句“诺贝尔奖既没有帮助读者寻找吸引他们的书籍,也无法造就文学经典”(committee指代包含诺贝尔文学奖在内的各奖项评委会)中隐含的态度“诺贝尔奖对读者没有太多意义”相悖。C.将③句market(free market与central planning分别比喻“作品自由竞争,从读者处赢得声誉”与“官方指定‘伟大’作品,试图为作品带来声誉”)误解为“商业推广”,得出“商业推广可提升文学声誉”。D.由①句细节good criticism、outstanding work杂糅而成,原文并未谈及出色作品是否吸引优质评论。

    B

    volunteers

    C

    part-timers

    D

    amateurs


    正确答案: B
    解析: 近义词辨析题。解答此类型题不要只看表面意思,要理解其语篇含义。helper的本意是指“帮手”,而这里引申为帮助人们掌握阅读能力的人。help和assist都有“帮助”的意思,但assistant意为“助手,助理”,与句中意思不符。因此选项B更符合题意。part-timer兼职的人。amateur业余爱好者。

    E

    解析:
    推断题。第一段中提到“Young James attended Dublin’s fine Jesuit schools…The story of his early life and his intellectual rebellion against Catholicism and Irish nationalism are told in the largely autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.”为Joyce今后文学创作提供了背景以及文化环境的说明,故本题选C项。

    C

    more live coverage to replace the linguistic explanation

    D

    interval shifts of the materials of the coverage


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    本题可用排除法。倒数第二段第二句提到“A vivid pictorial report followed by less exacting…”可见插入图片是有效的,排除A项。第五段第三句提到“A decline in live coverage could send viewers away and drive ratings down”现场报道的减少可能会使收视率降低,这也就从反面说明现场报道而不只是口头解释会更有效,故排除B项。倒数第二段第四句提到“Frequent switches from one anchor to another or from one film or tape report to another create a sense of forward movement.”频繁地从一个节目跳到另一个会产生一种“前向运动”的感觉。这也从反面说明报道中间隔的休息也是必要的,选项D也可排除。所以选B。

    B

    Many of the chief characters in Finnegan’s Wake were earlier introduced in Dubliners.

    C

    The linguistic experimentation of Dubliners paved the way for the “night language” of Finnegan’s Wake.

    D

    Dubliners is a longer book than Finnegan’s Wake.

    E

    Dubliners is a more accessible book than Finnegan’s Wake


    正确答案: E
    解析:
    推断题。文章第二段第三句中提到:Dubliners (1914), Joyce’s most accessible work;最后一段第三句中提到:Finnegan’s Wake…employs its own “night language” of puns, foreign words, and literary allusions,所以可知本题应选E项。

    A

    Ⅱ only

    B

    Ⅲ only

    C

    I and Ⅱ only

    D

    Ⅱ and Ⅲ only


    正确答案: C

    第二段最后一句指出“Griffith transposed devices of the Victorian novel to film and gave film mastery of time as well as space”,表示Griffith将维多利亚时期小说的创作手法引入电影业的拍摄,而小说的内容则与电影主题无关,Ⅰ表述不正确;第二段第三句表明是Griffith坚持使用“cinematic syntax”进行拍摄,而不是“other film directors”,Ⅱ的表述也不正确;只有Ⅲ是正确的,这点从全文描述可以推断出来:正是Griffith孜孜不倦的创新和试验才使电影拍摄技术突破传统局限,实现技术,体裁,主题的多元化。
