【题目】Dear readers,

I receive many letters from children and can’t answer them all there wouldn’t be enough time in a day. I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.

Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte's Web? Well, many years ago, I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That’s how the story of Stuart Littlegot started.

As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my farm is a very pleasant place to be at all hours. One day, when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was going to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)

Sometimes I’m asked when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early as soon as I could spell. Children often find pleasure and satisfaction through trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was not good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.

Well, here is the answer to the last question. No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family doesn’t have a child who looks like a mouse and a spider doesn’t write words in her web. Although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.

Yours sincerely,

E.B. White

【题目】 A clever cat has been called a hero after he prevented his owners’ home from burning down. Five-year-old Pepper has learned to open windows and lets himself out every night by using his paws to turn the latch. So when a fire broke out while his owners were at Christmas shopping, the quick-thinking cat leapt into action and opened the window to allow the poisonous smoke to escape.

Owner Sharon White said, “He can climb back in through the window, so he really does come and go as he pleases. Pepper is still a bit afraid but is still managing to eat plenty of food.” Sharon and her husband Phil were handed Pepper over four years ago after a neighbor could no longer look after it.

The fire started at 4 pm on Saturday after the couple went to the shops and left their microwave on a ten minute timer, which then caught fire. Sharon said, “We put something in the microwave for ten minutes and then went out to do our Christmas shopping in the local town. I discovered on the way that I had left my purse at home but decided not to turn around. It was my relative who lives next door that rang us and told us that we’d better get home as there was quite a lot of smoke coming out of our house and the firefighters were here.”

Firefighters rushed to their 350,000 house and put out the fire before it could spread and the kitchen suffered only smoke damage. Phil added, “Pepper managed to get out and smoke must have been pouring out the window which attracted the attention of the neighbors. He’s got a real mind of his own. Without him, the fire could have been so much worse.”

A. didn’t belong to Sharon at first

C. has been taught to open the window

D. was found by its owners on the street

【题目】阅读下面的文字,完成题。

当今的艺术仿佛在兴致勃勃地享受一场技术的盛宴。戏曲舞台上眼花缭乱的灯光照射,3D电影院里上下左右晃动的座椅,魔术师利用各种光学仪器制造观众的视觉误差,摄影师借助计算机将一张平庸的面容修饰得貌若天仙……总之,从声光电的全面介入到各种闻所未闻的机械设备,技术的发展速度令人吃惊。然而,有多少人思考过这个问题:技术到底赋予了艺术什么?关于世界,关于历史,关于神秘莫测的人心——技术增添了哪些发现?在许多贪大求奢的文化工程、文艺演出中,我们不难看到技术崇拜正在形成。

技术是艺术生产的组成部分,艺术的创作与传播从来没有离开技术的支持。但即便如此,技术也从未扮演过艺术的主人。《史记》、《窦娥冤》、《红楼梦》……这些之所以成为经典,是因为它们的思想光芒与艺术魅力,而不是因为书写于竹简,上演于舞台,或者印刷在书本里。然而,在现代社会,技术的日新月异造就了人们对技术的盲目崇拜,以至于许多人没有察觉艺术生产正在出现一个颠倒:许多时候,技术植入艺术的真正原因其实是工业社会的技术消费,而不是艺术演变的内在冲动。换言之,这时的技术无形中晋升为领跑者,艺术更像是技术发明力图开拓的市场。

中国艺术的简约传统隐含了对于炫技的不屑。古代思想家认为,繁杂的技术具有炫目的迷惑性,目迷五色可能干扰人们对于的持续注视。他们众口一词地告诫文胜质可能导致的危险,这是古代思想家的人文情怀。当然,这并非号召艺术拒绝技术,而是敦促文化生产审慎地考虑技术的意义:如果不存在震撼人心的主题,繁杂的技术只能沦为虚有其表的形式。

这种虚有其表的形式在当下并不少见,光怪陆离的外观往往掩盖了内容的苍白。譬如众多文艺晚会和其他娱乐节目。大额紫荆慷慨赞助,大牌演员频频现身,大众传媒提供各种空间……形形色色的文艺晚会如此密集,以至于人们不得不怀疑:这个社会真的需要那么多奢华呈现吗?除了晚会还是晚会,如此贫乏的文化想象通常预示了主题的贫乏——这种贫乏多半与技术制造的华丽风格形成了鲜明的对比。此时的技术业已游离了艺术的初衷,众多的娱乐节目——而不是艺术——充当了技术的受惠者。

技术是一个中性的东西,是一种工具,关键在于怎么使用。对于技术的盲目崇拜无异于对于工具的盲目崇拜,这种崇拜的实质,是重技而轻道,重物而轻人。如果任由其泛滥,容易遮蔽掉技术背后真正关键的东西——使用技术的人的作用与良知。前一段诸多社会事件引起舆论大哗的时候,并没有多少人将这些社会事件与技术联系起来。从瘦肉精饲料、三聚氰胺奶粉、毒胶囊的制作到利用电话、互联网精心设计的钱财欺诈,舆论同声谴责的是无量企业、利欲熏心的商家、心狠手辣的骗子以及失职的监管机构,而技术研发者的责任似乎被轻轻放过,人们没有看到参与这些社会事件的技术人员出面道歉,这个环节成为盲点因而遭到遗忘——文化领域的事情也似乎常常如此。社会的进步、文化的繁荣,需要让技术与道德的关系重回人们的视野之中,如此我们方可避免陷入技术盲目崇拜的陷阱与误区。

下列关于技术崇拜的表述,符合原文意思的一项是(

A.从现象看,技术崇拜就是大型文艺晚会中声光电的全面介入和各种闻所未闻的机械设备等诸多技术手段的过度应用。

B.从原因看,技术崇拜过分强调日新月异的现代技术对艺术创作和传播的作用,许多时候源于艺术生产中的技术消费。

C.从结果看,技术崇拜所形成的华丽风格,弥补了娱乐节目艺术主题的不足,从而让娱乐节目成为技术使用的受惠者。

D.从实质看,技术崇拜无异于工具崇拜,重技而轻道,重物而轻人,忽视了艺术演变的内在冲动在艺术生产中的作用。
