22、 will arise out of man, surpassing his achievements to those of his predecessor）解析：七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：177.00)To emphasize the stagnation (死气沉沉) and the narrowness of the society depicted in Jane Austins novels is to take a narrow and mechanical view of them. Emma is not a period piece,
23、nor is what is sometimes called a “comedy of manners“. We read it to illuminate not only, the past but also the present. And we must face here in both its crudity and its important a question. Exactly what relevance and helpfulness does Emma have for us today? In what sense does a novel dealing skil
24、lfully and realistically with a society and its standards, which are dead and gone forever, have value in our very different world today? Stated in such term, the question itself is unsatisfactory. If Emma today captures our imagination and engages our sympathies (as, in fact, it does), then either
25、it has some genuine value for us, or else there is something wrong with the way we give our sympathy and our values are pretty useless. Put this way, it is clear that anyone who enjoys Emma and then remarks “but of course it has no relevance today“ is, in fact, debasing the novel, looking at it not
26、as living, enjoyable work of art but as a mere dead picture of a past society. Such an attitude is fatal both to art and to life. It can be assumed that Emma has relevance. The helpful approach is to ask why this novel still has the power to move us today. What gives Emma its power to move us is the
27、 realism and depth of feeling behind Jane Austins attitudes. She examines with a scrupulous (小心谨慎的) yet passionate and critical precision the actual problems of her world. That this world is narrow cannot be denied, but the value of a work of art rests on the depth and truth of the experience it com
28、municates, and such qualities cannot be identified with the breath of the works panorama (概观). A conversation between two people in a grocery store may tell us more about a world war than a volume of dispatches from the front. The stilliest of all criticism of Jane Austen is the one that blames of t
29、he news papers she read. She wrote about what she genuinely understood, and artist can do more. （分数：88.50）(1).The main idea of the passage is that _.（分数：17.70）A.a narrow view of Emma is natural and acceptableB.a novel should not depict a vanished societyC.a good novel is an intellectual rather than
30、an emotional experienceD.Emma should be read with sensitivity and an open mind 解析：主题句考题 根据第一段的第一句可知答案是 D)。(2).The author would probably disagree with those critics or readers who find that the society in Jane Austins novel is _.（分数：17.70）A.unsympatheticB.uninteresting C.crudeD.authoritarian解析：细节理解题。
31、根据第三段第一句小说反映出深刻而真实的情感，今天仍然具有打动我们的地方，所以作者是不会同意 B)选项所表叙的东西的。(3).The author implies that a work of art is probably judged on the basis of its _.（分数：17.70）A.universality of human experience truthfully recorded B.popularity and critical acclaim in its own ageC.openness to varied interpretations, includin
32、g seemingly contradictory onesD.avoidance of political and social issues of minor importance解析：细节理解题 依据第四段第三句“the value of a work of art rests on the depth and truth of the experience it communicate”，可知答案是 A)。(4).It can be inferred that the author considers the question stated and restarted in the p
33、assage to be unsatisfactory because it _.（分数：17.70）A.fails to assume that society and its standards are the proper concern of the novelB.neglects to assume that a novel is a definable art formC.suggest that our society and Jane Austens are quite differentD.wrongly states the criteria for judging a n
34、ovels worth 解析：推理题 作者的观点是：评价文艺作品价值的标准不在于作品所描述的社会场景是否与现代社会相关，而在于作品是否深刻的表达了真实的情感体验。所以答案是 D)。(5).The authors attitude toward someone who “enjoys Emma and then remarks but of course it has no relevance today“ can best be described as one of _.（分数：17.70）A.amusementB.astonishmentC.disapproval D.resignatio
35、n解析：细节理解题 从第三段第一句中的 debasing一词和该段第二句可以看出作者不同意这种看法。One of the good things for men in womens liberation is that men no longer have to pay women the old-fashioned courtesies. In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if sh
36、e were a model. For example, she doesnt need getting in and out of cars. “Women get in and out cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily.“ She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewal
37、k. “Historically, the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk where he wants so. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside because thats where attackers are all h
38、iding these days.“ As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of womens liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies. It is usually easier to follow rules of social behavior than to depend on
39、 ones own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have
40、always done it the other way, according to my wife. It came up only the other night, I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in. “Well,“ my wife said, when the hostess had gone, “you did it
41、 again.“ “Did what?“ I asked, utterly confused. “Took the chair.“ Actually, since Id walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all. Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first and
42、 let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might
43、be hiding in the back seat. （分数：88.50）(1).It can be concluded from the passage that_.（分数：17.70）A.men should walk on the inside of a sidewalkB.women are becoming more capable than beforeC.in womens liberation men are also liberated D.its safe to break rules of social behaviors解析：本题是细节理解题，较难；需在文章中逐一核对
44、才能确定答案。建议采用排除法。根据第三段内容，不能确定男士必须在女士的内侧走，所以可以排除 A。对女士的礼节变化是妇女运动的结果，并非妇女的能力发生了变化，所以可以排除 B。根据第五段，规则的违反需要“自然优雅的天赋”(gift of natural grace)，因此可排除 D。剩下的 C项符合文章主题句，即第一句，因此 C是本题答案。(2).The author was “utterly confused“ because he_.（分数：17.70）A.took the chair out of habitB.was trying to be politeC.was slow in un
45、derstandingD.had forgotten what he did 解析：本题也是细节理解题。我们首先根据题目和选项确定有关信息所在的位置，再对其进行分析。confused一词出现在倒数第三段，是对话的一部分，我们应结合最后一段的内容进行分析。就这个对话而言，表面上是由于作者出于习惯先就座而受到妻子责难，但是根据最后一段，我们知道作者养成习惯的不只是就座，还有马路上行走和坐车等行为都是“习惯成自然”了，所以忘记自己的所做事情。这里作者也不知道妻子到底指责他什么，所以，有了这一层认识后就会排除 A、B、C 项，选择 D项。(3).He “took the chair“ for all
46、the following reasons EXCEPT that_.（分数：17.70）A.he got to the chair firstB.he happened to like the seatC.his wife ordered him to do so D.hed walked ahead of his wife解析：本题是反选题，要求选出与文章内容不符的选项。四个选项都与文章的细节理解有关，根据文章第六段分析，我们可以找到 A、B、D 三项的出处，因此均予以排除。唯独 C项没有提到，因此是本题答案选项。(4).The author always gets in a car be
47、fore a woman because he_.（分数：17.70）A.wants to protect her B.doesnt need to help herC.chooses to be impolite to herD.fears attacks on him解析：本题考查对最后一段的理解，不难。根据最后一段，我们可以排除 B、C、D，而选 A。(5).The author is_about the whole question of manners and womens liberation.（分数：17.70）A.jokingB.satiricalC.seriousD.crit
48、ical 解析：本题考作者的态度，属于一种主观题，有一定的难度。此时，我们就得利用指引词，那么文章第四段，作者用了 I supposeI imagine，都是表明作者态度的指引词。作者支持妇女解放运动，反对过时的礼节。但是根据第五段，作者强调要根据情况具体判断，以“自然优雅”的方式突破旧规。尤其作者妻子对他的责难，表明作者持一种批判的态度。所以选 D。Two thousand five was a year with several important developments in the world of development. Among them were the decisions made in July at the Group of Eight meeting in Scotland. Leaders of the G-Eight nations agreed to increase development aid. They also
