aryBarton?A．UncriticalenthusiasmB．UnresolvedambivalenceC．QualifiedapprovalD．Mildirritation對的答案：D解析：由第一段結(jié)尾themethodhasaslightlydistancingeffect可知，作者對Gaskell的寫作方式持輕微的批判態(tài)度，認(rèn)為這種方式會拉遠(yuǎn)讀者和書中人物的距離。42．Accordingtothepassage,MaryBartonandtheearlynovelsofD.H.Lawrencesharewhichofthefollowing?A．Depictionofthefeelingsofworking-classfamiliesB．Documentaryobjectivityaboutworking-classcircumstancesC．Richlydetaileddescriptionofworking-classadjustmenttourbanlifeD．Imaginativelystructuredplotsaboutworking-classcharacters對的答案：A解析：由第二段中間asimilarlyconvincingrecreationoffamilies’emotionsandresponses，theEnglishnovel…writingofD.H.Laurence可知，在描寫家庭情感上，Gaskell和Laurence有相似之處。43．Itcanbeinferredfromexamplesgiveninthelastparagraphofthepassagethatwhichofthefollowingwaspartof“thenewandcrushingexperienceofindustrialism”formanymembersoftheEnglishworkingclassinthenineteenthcentury?A．ExtortionatefoodpricesB．GeographicaldisplacementC．HazardousworkingconditionsD．Alienationfromfellowworkers對的答案：B解析：最后…一段，作者以affinityforlivingthings，walkingoutinspringintoFields，twig-gath-ering等例子講述地理位置的置換使鄉(xiāng)村人進(jìn)城后，仍對大自然念念不忘。44．ItcanbeinferredthattheauthorofthepassagebelievesthatMaryBartonmighthavebeenanevenbetternovelifGaskellhad______.A．concentratedontheemotionsofasinglecharacterB．madenoattempttore-createexperiencesofwhichshehadnofirsthandknowledgeC．madenoattempttoreproduceworking-classdialectsD．managedtotranscendherpositionasanoutsider對的答案：D解析：由第二段首句Gaskell…approachingworking-classlifeasanoutsideobserver…thereaderisalwaysconsciousofthisfact可推理，Gaskell如果能超越自己的局外人身份，讀者可能會更加滿意。45．TheauthorofthepassagedescribesMaryBartonaseachofthefollowingEXCEPT______.A．insightfulB．meticulousC．vividD．poignant對的答案：A解析：通讀全文可知，作者描述了MaryBarton的寫作手法，認(rèn)為這部作品重視細(xì)節(jié)，感情描寫細(xì)膩生動、真實動人，但對于作品的內(nèi)容和見解與否深刻，作者并未評論。IfaMeccaexistsfortoday’syouth,itmusttaketheformofarockconcert.Suchacolossaleventdrawspeoplefromsurprisinglydistantplacesandfromoddlydiverginglifestyles.Thesophisticatedcollegestudentmaybeseatednexttothewide-eyedjuniorhighcheerleader,thelattershowingfrightattheapproachofawild-eyedfreak.Howdotheseincompatiblecharactertypesfindamutualappealinrockconcert?Whatinducesyoungpeopletoexchangethefewdollarsearnedthroughbabysittingorcarwashingforaconcertticket?Tomany,theanswerisimmediatelyobvious—themusicisthesourceofappealataconcert.Thequalityofthesoundproduced,however,frequentlycastsdoubtonthisexplanation.Unquestionably,rockconcertsareloud;thedecibellevelofsomereportedlyexceedsthatattainedbyajetplaneontakeoff.Inaddition,thisauralassaultisoftenintensifiedbyanout-of-tuneguitar,bythefalteringvoiceoftheperformer,orbythebadacousticintheconcerthall.Rockgroupsgenerallycorrecttheseproblemsinastudio;theirrecordingsmayevenboastpleasingharmonieswithintelligiblelyrics.Sowhydowebattlecrowdstosecurechoiceseatingataconcert?Aconcertcreatesamagical,otherworldlyatmosphere,reminiscentofachildhoodnever-neverland.Aneeriedarknessshroudsthehall,andthen,justasinourfavoritefairytale,thesupernaturalbeing(otherwiseidentifiedbythevulgarterm,“rockstar”)appearsinaburstoflight.Inanothercontexthewouldhavebeenknownasa“godoutofthemachine.“Bizarrelightingschemesandgimmickssuchasmockhangingsorfire-breathingcontributetotheatmosphereofother-worldlinessinsomeacts.Thefansarepermittedonlyaglimpseofthestarbeforehevanishesoncemoreinthedarkness,onlytomaterializethefollowingeveninginaconcerthallhundredsofmilesaway.Thestagebecomestherockstar’sonlynaturalhabitat;forus,hecanhavenoexistenceapartfromit.Wecanscarcelyconceiveofouridolsperformingsuchmundaneactivitiesasgoingtothedentist,shoppingfortunafish,orchangingthebaby,perhapswehaveaneedtobelieveinanillusorycreatureofthenight,somehowdifferentfromourselves.Whofitsthisdescriptionbetterthanarockstar?46．Whatmethod/techniqueisemployedtodeveloptheabovepassage?(2points)對的答案：Todevelopthepassage,theauthoremploysthewritingskillssuchasexemplification,similitude,comparisonandcontrast,etc.47．Referringtothispassage,whatisthepresumedreasonforthepopularityofrockconcertsandrockstars?Whatalternativeexplanationdoestheauthorgiveinthepassage?(points)對的答案：Itispresumedthatthereasonforgoingtotheconcertisforthebetterqualityoftheperformer’svoiceandthemusicalinstruments.Butintheauthor’sopinion,manypeoplegotorockconcertsforitsmagical,otherworldlyatmosphereandforaglimpseoftheiridealizedstar.48．Howdoestheauthorachievethetransitionfromoneparag
