4.Part 2 4 One of the silliest things in our recent history was the use of “Victorian” as a term of contempt or abuse. It had been made fashionable by Lytton Strachey with his clever, superficial and ultimately empty book Eminent Victorians, in which he damned with faint praise such Victorian heroes as General Gordon and Florence Nightingale. Strachey’s demolition job was clever because it ridiculed the Victorians for exactly those qualities on which they prided themselves—their high mindedness, their marked moral intensity, their desire to improve the human condition and their confidence that they had done so.Yet one saw, even before the 100th anniversary of the death of Queen Victoria this year, that there were signs these sneering attitudes were beginning to change. Programmes on radio and television about Victoria and the age that was named after her managed to humble themselves only about half the time. People were beginning to realize that there was something heroic about that epoch and, perhaps, to fear that the Victorian age was the last age of greatness for this country.Now a new book, What The Victorians Did For Us, aims further to redress the balance and remind us that, in most essentials, our own age is really an extension of what the Victorians created. You can start with the list of Victorian inventions. They were great lovers of gadgets from the smallest domestic ones to new ways of propelling ships throughout the far-flung Empire. In medicine, anaesthesia (developed both here and in America) allowed surgeons much greater time in which to operate—and hence to work on the inner organs of the body—not to mention reducing the level of pain and fear of patients.To the Victorians we also owe lawn tennis, a nationwide football association under the modern rules, powered funfair rides, and theatres offering mass entertainment. And, of course, the modern seaside is almost entirely a Victorian invention. There is, of course, a darker side to the Victorian period. Everyone knows about it mostly because the Victorians catalogued it themselves. Henry Mayhew’s wonderful set of volumes on the lives of the London poor, and official reports on prostitution, on the workhouses and on child labour—reports and their statistics that were used by Marx when he wrote Das Kapital—testify to the social conscience that was at the center of “Victorian values”.But now, surely, we can appreciate the Victorian achievement for what it was—the creation of the modern world. And when we compare the age of Tennyson and Darwin, of John Henry Newman and Carlyle, with our own, the only sensible reaction is one of humility: “We are our father’s shadows cast at noon”.第16题:According to the author, Lytton Strachey’s book Eminent Victorians _____.[A] accurately described the qualities of the people of the age[B] superficially praised the heroic deeds of the Victorians[C] was highly critical of the contemporary people and institutions[D] was guilty of spreading prejudices against the Victorians

  • 第6题:



    It can be inferred from the passage that( )

    A.Dickens’s hatred toward London grew with his age
    B.Dickens ’s works contributed to some of the changes of London
    C.Dickens liked to portray only the dark sides of London
    D.Dickens,a social reformer,was devoted to the changes of London

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。A项“狄更斯对于伦敦的怨恨与日俱增”,文章第一段就提到伦敦给予了他许多情感,不只是负面的情感,后文又提到现代人们将其对于伦敦的情感称作是love/hate relationship,所以A项的表述错误。C项“狄更斯只喜欢刻画伦敦的阴暗面”,这一表述过于绝对化,所以很显然也是错误的,文章最后几段就有提到他对于伦敦积极一面的描绘。D项“作为社会改革家,狄更斯致力于伦敦的改变”,这一表述夸大了狄更斯的角色,狄更斯更多是通过自己的小说来关注社会现实,警醒人们积极改善不好的方面,所以D项也排除。B项提到“狄更斯的作品有助于伦敦的一些改善”,这是相对于D项更为客观的表述。
