Of those novels, very few are remembered today. However, there are exceptions: the works of Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice(傲慢与偏见), Sense and Sensibility(理智与情感) for example. They achieved only modest success at first but grew and grew in fame (名声) and reputation.How did Jane Austen become so popular? Of course, the novels are romantic. Everyone knows the love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett (in Pride and Prejudice), and how they overcome their own pride and prejudice to live happily ever after. The lovers are almost as famous today as Romeo and Juliet.But there is more to Austens popularity than the fact that she wrote about love. The books are very witty (机智的) and ironic (讽刺的), and show a great understanding of society and of people. Pride and Prejudice opens with what must be the most famous sentence in the English novel: “It is a truth universally acknowledged (认可), that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”The truth, of course, is the opposite: wealthy, unmarried young men are extremely attractive to young women. And women especially penniless (身无分文) or nearpenniless ones are the subjects of Austens tales.Women nowadays may be more equal to men than they were in Jane Austens day. However, a sense that women still basically live in a world dominated (控制) by men ensures that Austen still has many keen readers.5What is the point of the article?ATo describe the status of women in Jane Austens time.BTo promote Jane Austens novels among teenagers.CTo explore the characteristics of Jane Austens novels.DTo analyze why Jane Austens novels have such a lasting appeal.解析：选D主旨大意题。A项是说描写Jane Austen时代妇女的地位，这只是她的作品中女主角的一个特点，并非主旨大意；本文不是推销书籍，所以B项错误；本文旨在分析英国作家简奥斯汀的写作特点，而这恰恰是她的作品受世人欢迎的原因；而不是C项探索她的小说特点。所以选D。6What can be con
