第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)
The writing of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain.His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
Shakespeare’s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year- old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.
Still, in British schools, it is necessary to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment(憎恨) or both.
This was my experience of the classics at school.But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart.Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me.I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.
I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China.I have never regretted it.There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books.You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point.These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics.
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual plays.If that is the case, then I welcome the trend.But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing.Shakespeare is a poet.His greatness is in his language.Reading someone else’s rewriting of his works is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin.Take on the original.It really is worth the effort.
1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The language used in classics is no longer in use today.
B.British students usually find compulsory reading dull.
C.Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works.
D.For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics.
2.According to the passage, the writer _____ .
A.has liked literary classics since an early age
B.was forced to read the classics for a PhD
C.turned to literature to seek answers in his teens
D.thinks only people who read books like literature
3.The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A.a great hit                   B.a good example
C.a movie adaptation               D.a popular phenomenon
4.What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.
B.The rewriting trend does more harm than good.
C.Readers should try to read the original versions.
D.Readers need to learn the language in the classics.

 “Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March (possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: “Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves serious complications (复杂化), ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

In one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”

Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

1.According to the text, James March is ________.

A.a poet who uses experience in his writing

B.a teacher who teachers story writing in university

C.a researcher who studies the way humans think and act

D.a professor who helps organizations make important decisions

2.According to James March, experience ________.

A.is overvalued                          B.is easy to explain

C.should be actively sought                 D.should be highly respected

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A.Experience makes stories more accurate.

B.Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.

C.The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.

D.Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.

4.What’s the purpose of this text?

A.To introduce a book.                     B.To describe a researcher.

C.To explain experiential learning.            D.To discuss organizational decision making.

 

 

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”.

“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.

“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”

Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”

“This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”

The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

“Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
