    B.many places in London offered inspirations to Dickens
    C.a museum has been set up in honor of Dickens
    D.for all the drastic changes,some places are still reminiscent of London in Dickens’s time

    答案:D
    解析:
    主旨题。该题是对最后一段的主旨大意进行提问。该段一开始就提到sprawling,exciting ferment…still contains buildings familiar to Dickens,随后列举了三处具体的建筑作为例子,它们历经历史变化依然保存下来。根据这些内容可知,D项最能概括本段要表达的重点。故本题选D。参考译文:查尔斯·狄更斯是作家、编辑和社会改革家,由于刻画了19世纪初期英国真实的生活画卷而闻名于世。狄更斯的许多小说都试图刻画伦敦,这座城市曾激发他的各种情感——爱情、怜悯、沮丧与激动。在小说《远大前程》《老古玩店》《小杜丽》和《双城记》中,狄更斯的笔触从19世纪初生活在伦敦的人民问题转向了几乎所有城市人民的问题。然而,如果狄更斯回到20世纪80年代的伦敦,他还能认出它来吗?伦敦经历过什么变化呢?在狄更斯的小说中,19世纪初的伦敦生活存在一个显著的问题——空气中漂浮着一层朦胧的烟雾与灰尘,充满着各种难闻的气味和令人窒息的腐烂味道。不管人们对今天伦敦的空气以及空气中的汽车尾气与偶尔出现的大雾天气有何感想,19世纪的《消烟法案》和20世纪的《消尘法案》会使狄更斯发现伦敦的空气有了相当可观的改善。在《我们共同的朋友》中,狄更斯把泰晤士河描写成遭到污秽物、老鼠和死尸污染的危险场所。如果他知道今天鲑鱼可以经由泰晤士河逆流而上进入伦敦的河流,以及现在有成千上万的伦敦人在泰晤士河岸边休憩,他一定会大吃一惊。伦敦人还和旅游观光者一起,经过伦敦塔去参观货栈和船坞的码头地区。狄更斯在《雾都孤儿》和《小杜丽》中对他那个时代的这些地方的描写,使人们对这个充满了贫穷、贸易与罪恶的城市留下了深刻的印象。被狄更斯描写过的部分伦敦现已发生了深刻的变化,这是公众对其所描绘的生动历史画面做出的反馈,狄更斯生活的那个时代的一些条件极恶劣的贫民窟已经消失。现在,人们已不再会因为负债而坐牢。狄更斯在伦敦从贫困到富有的经历,使他对这个城市产生了一种现代作家称为既爱又恨的感情,狄更斯本人则称它是一种“令人厌恶但又会被吸引的诱惑”。当他还是一个在黑涂料工厂每天长时间工作的孩子的时候,就对伦敦产生了这种情感。无论是对伦敦的街道,还是对伦敦的社会生活,具有记者眼光与改革者心胸的狄更斯,都能准确地发现作为一位小说家兼知名人士所需要进一步发展的方面。有一种变化可能不会使狄更斯惊异,那就是伦敦的发展趋势。它成了一个不断扩张的大都会,现在市区已扩张到了菲希利、汉普斯特德、彭顿维尔和坎登镇。这些地方在狄更斯时代只不过是小村庄或郊区而已。可能狄更斯已预料到来往于伦敦的流动人口的增加。早在19世纪60年代火车未通之前,每天就有多达20万人步行或乘坐公共汽车从泰晤士河沿岸的豪宅来到切尔西。随着城市的逐渐扩张,中产阶级也看到了居住在郊区的优势。在《远大前程》中,温密克赞美了他在沃尔沃斯的小“城堡”和花园享受到的乐趣。他在伦敦金融城的工作,以及他在那里不牢靠的人脉关系,决定了他能否生存下去。现在,伦敦表现出一副“臃肿”的样子,充满着大城市有规律的令人激动的嘈杂与喧闹,但还保留了一些狄更斯所熟悉的建筑物。就在英国广播电台对外播放服务社所在的“丛林之家”的外边,就是圣玛丽丝特朗教堂,狄更斯的父母是1809年在那里结婚的。马路对面是罗马浴池,据说狄更斯童年时代在那里洗过澡,后来又在《大卫·科波菲尔》中提到过。不远处就是布鲁姆斯伯里的达提街四十八号,狄更斯在那儿写出了《匹克威克外传》和《雾都孤儿》的大部分章节,接着是狄更斯故居纪念馆。按照他本人的要求,没有建立查尔斯·狄更斯公立纪念馆。但是,狄更斯故居纪念馆是所有人的中心,对这些人来说,狄更斯笔下的人物艺术比历史上的许多人物更为“真实”。

  • 第2题:

    What is the main idea of the acquisition-learning hypothesis?
    Krashen maintained that adult L2 learners have at their disposal two distinct and independent ways of developing competence in a second language: acquisition and learning. Acquisition is a subconscious process identical in all important ways to the process children utilize in acquiring their first language, and learning is a conscious process that results in knowledge about language. Acquisition comes about through meaningful interaction in a natural communication setting. Speakers are not concerned with form, but with meaning; nor is there explicit concern with error detection and correction. This contrasts with the language learning situation in which error detection and correction are central, as is typical the case in classroom settings, where formal rules and feedback provide the basis for language instruction.
    Nontheless, for Krashen, it is not the setting per se, but conscious attention to rules that distinguishes language acquisition from language learning. In the natural setting, an adult can obtain formal instruction by asking informants about grammar and by receiving feedback from friends. Similarly, language can be acquired in the classroom when the focus in on communication --- eg. through dialogues, role-playing, and other forms of meaningful interaction.

    C.To summarize the main message of the article.
    D.To discuss another aspect paralleled with the fourth paragraph.

    答案:D
    解析:
    结构题。文章最后一段围绕苏格拉底的the good展开,倒数第二段强调苏格拉底的dialectic,即“辩证法”,分别介绍苏格拉底哲学的不同精髓。故D项“讨论与第四段平行的另一个方面”为正确答案。故本题选D。参考译文:苏格拉底是雕刻家索福罗尼库斯的儿子,是希腊雅典的哲学家。据说,苏格拉底在早年时从事过父亲的工作,中年时,他娶了传说中的泼妇克桑西普,但这些故事几乎没有确凿的事实依据。我们尚不确定苏格拉底的哲学老师是谁,但他似乎熟悉巴门尼德、赫拉克利特、阿纳萨戈尔和原子论者的学说。甚至苏格拉底在40岁之前就因其智力而广为人知,根据柏拉图在《道歉》中对苏格拉底演讲的描述,特尔斐的神谕称他是希腊最聪明的人。在那次演讲中,苏格拉底坚称,他对这种称呼感到困惑。尽管其他人没有意识到自己在无知的情况下宣称自己有学问,苏格拉底至少意识到了自己的无知。苏格拉底确信,自己的使命是寻找引导正确行为的智慧,以此来促进雅典人在智力和道德方面的进步。苏格拉底忽略了自己的事务,把时间花在讨论美德、正义和虔诚上,而不管他的同胞们在何处聚集。有些人认为他也忽视了公共职责,因为他从来没有寻求过公共职位,尽管他以在他从事的军事战役中所表现出的勇气而闻名。在他自封为“牛虻”的任务中,苏格拉底树敌众多。阿里斯托芬在他的戏剧《云》中嘲弄了苏格拉底,并认为他身上有诡辩家(修辞的专业教师)的一些缺点。尽管苏格拉底的确激怒过诡辩家,但其他批评者似乎与阿里斯托芬持相似的观点。公元前399年,他因荼毒青年和宗教异端而受到审判。围绕审判的是模糊的政治问题,但苏格拉底似乎也因为是阿尔基比阿德斯和克里蒂亚斯的朋友和老师而受到审判,原因是这两个人都背叛了雅典。柏拉图的《道歉》《克里托》和《法耶多》以巨大的戏剧性力量描述了苏格拉底的审判和死亡。苏格拉底对哲学的贡献包括一种理解知识的新方法,一种将灵魂视为集正常清醒意识和道德品质于一体的概念,以及一种有目的地按头脑顺序排列的宇宙意识。他的方法被称为辩证法,包括通过探究陈述的含义来检验陈述,假设一个陈述是真实的,它不会导致错误的结果。这种方法可能是由芝诺(埃利亚)提出的,但苏格拉底对其进行了改进,并应用于伦理问题。苏格拉底的灵魂学说使他相信所有的美德都会汇聚成一种美德,这是真实自我的本质,并贯穿于人的一生。反之,知识取决于事物的本质,因为事物的潜在形式比它们的经验范例更为真实。这个概念导致了一种目的论的世界观,即所有的形式都参与并导致最高的善,或至善的理念。柏拉图后来阐明了这一学说是他哲学思想的核心。苏格拉底的观点经常被描述为认为美德和知识是相同的,所以没有人会故意犯错。因为美德与知识是相同的,所以它可以被教授,但不能像诡辩家把它作为一门专业那样教授。然而,苏格拉底本人并没有给出如何学习美德的最终答案。

    问答题
    What can we infer from the last sentence in Paragraph 2?

    正确答案: Dad refused the meal prepared according to a new recipe.
    解析:
    推理题。根据题干定位至原文的第二段。根据该段的第一句话:“Dad was a creature of habit. He didn’t always greet new experiments in cooking with glee.”可知,“父亲的习惯常年不变,不喜欢尝试新食物。”而后文提到“我刚开始学习烹饪,喜欢邀请父母品尝新手艺,”该段的最后一句话说到:Dad would look at his plate suspiciously and ask, “Am I the ‘guinea pig’ for this meal?”由此可见,当父亲看到盘子中的菜时,怀疑自己是女儿实验用的“小白鼠”,而不愿意吃其中的食物,因此父亲拒绝品尝新手艺。
