Her father and her French mother were also actors. In fact her whole extended family constituted the foremost theatrical dynasty of the late th and early th centuries. Handsome and gifted, they crop up in letters and diaries throughout the period, and were generally regarded as a kind of royalty: a race apart. The real competition for any biographer of Kemble is Kemble herself. As her friend Henry James noted: “in two hemispheres, she had seen everyone, had known everyone”. Whats more, she recorded it all in many volumes of vividly written memoirs, all swarming with people, criticism, social commentary, anecdote, scenery, political opinion and superb set-pieces: the digging of Brunels Thames tunnel, for instance.Kembles memoirs, especially her “Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation”, are as important historically as they are engrossing. But what fascinates us now is the way that Fanny, clever and reckless as she was, broke the rulesor the way she appropriated and revised the role prescribed to her by gender politics. She never cared about such prescriptions. She spoke her mind and thought nothing of walking into a stream fully clothed if it was hot. It wasnt until her marriage that her gender collided with the realities of power and money. Though she was never intended for the stage, the looming bankruptcy of her father obliged her to try her chances. Overnight, she became the toast of London. Money flowed, and yet more on a tour of America, where she met a seductive young man, Pierce Butler, heir to huge rice and cotton slave-plantations in Georgia. Hoping to escape the shallow emotionalism of the theatre, assuming a companionship of equals and somehow managing to forget the slaves, she married him.At a stroke she lost everything. Butler, deeply illiberal, exerted his rights. He appropriated her earnings, censored her writing and when she woke to the horrors of slavery, forbade her public opposition to it. She wept, she ran away, she returned. The birth of children, in whom she had no legal rights, further enchained her.The rest of Kembles life was sheer indomitability. The Butlers did divorce. She did lose the children. But on their majority, she recovered them. She made her own money again. Criss-crossing the Atlantic, she gave Shakespeare readings to packed audiences. Every summer, she climbed the Alps, startling the guides by singing loudly as she went. She met James in 72 and he fell under her spell, fascinated by her proud idealism, her eccentric honesty and above all by her talk of “old London”. “She reanimated the old drawing rooms,” he wrote, “relighted the old lamps, retuned the old pianos.” When at last she died, he felt it, he said, “like the end of some reign or the fall of some empire”.注（1）：本文选自Economist, /21/注（2）：本文习题命题模仿对象为真题Text 4。1 What is implied in the first paragraph?A The Kemble family keep a lot of diaries and letters.B Fanny Kemble was an actress of Shakespearean plays.C This passage talks about Fanny Kemble.D The Kemble family was once a royal family.2 The author uses Fannys memoirs to show that _.A Fanny was a good biographer of herself.B Fanny wrote biographers for others.C Fanny competed with other biographers.D Fanny knew everyone.3 The authors attitude towards Fanny Kemble is probably one of_.A strong hatredB enthusiastic supportC mild satireD objective4 Fanny decided to marry Pierce Butler for the following reasons EXCEPT _.A She did not want to be an actress anymore.B She wanted to have a life company.C She was attracted by the handsome Pierce Butler.D She supported the slave system.5 The text intends to express the idea that _.A Fanny Kemble had a life of bad luck.B Fanny Kemble didnt enjoy much during her life.C Fanny Kemble had an optimistic attitude towards life.D Fanny Kemble篇章剖析本文通过主人公自己的传记介绍了女演员范妮肯布尔的一生。第一段介绍了范妮的家庭背景；第二段简介范妮为自己出版了内容丰富的传记，暗示本文基于范妮的传记对其进行介绍和回顾；第三段先对范妮的一生进行了总体评价，然后描述了她的早期生活、成名过程直至其结婚；第四段描述了范妮失败的第一次婚姻和她经历的痛苦；第五段描述了范妮乐观地度过了自己的下半生。词汇注释hemisphere hemisfiE n.半球 collide kElaid vi. 碰撞, 抵触memoir memwB: n. 回忆录 loom lu:m v. 隐现, 迫近swarm swC:m v. 涌往, 挤满, 密集 stroke strEuk n. 一次努力, 打击anecdote AnikdEut n.轶事, 奇闻 illiberal ilibErEl adj. 狭碍的, 偏执的engross ingrEus vt. 吸引, 使全神贯注 indomitability 7indCmitEbiliti n. 不屈不挠fascinate fAsineit vt. 使着迷, 使神魂颠倒 startle stB:tl v. 震惊appropriate EprEupriit adj. 适当的 eccentric iksentrik adj. 古怪的prescribe priskraib v. 指示, 规定难句突破Hoping to escape the shallow emotionalism of the theatre, assuming a companionship of equals and somehow managing to forget the slaves, she married him.主体句式 She married him.结构分析 这个长句把句子的主干放到了最后，前面的两个分词短语在一般情况下都放在主干句的后面，这里放在前面不是“头重脚轻”的问题，而是强调“她嫁给他”的前提。句子译文 肯布尔想逃离肤浅的戏剧情感主义，想有个平等的知心人陪伴自已，于是她在一定程度上忘记了奴隶制，嫁给了他。题目分析1C. 推理题。文章第一段开门见山地介绍范妮肯布尔的身份及其家族，可以推出这篇文章将主要介绍范妮肯布尔。2A. 推理题。根据文章第二段，范妮肯布尔自己就是自己的传记作家，她出版了好几卷关于自己经历的各种材料。3B. 态度题。文章第三段第二句称范妮“clever and reckless”，之后又说她用于冲破世俗制度和性别政治，可见是在盛赞范妮。4D. 细节题。文章第三段最后一句话说明了范妮出嫁的原因，第四段提到了范妮对于奴隶制度感到震惊，可见她并不支持奴隶制。5C. 推理题。文章最后一段提到了范妮的后半生中她一直不屈不挠地生活，她积极地参加各类活动，到处旅游，而且最终得到了爱情，可见她对于生活的态度还是非常乐观的。参考译文范妮肯布尔是（-93）两位莎士比亚悲剧演员莎拉席登斯和她哥哥约翰菲利浦肯布尔的侄女。她的父亲和法国籍母亲也是演员。事实上，庞大的肯布尔家族是世纪末世纪初戏剧时代的重要组成部分。那时，他们英俊的外表和表演天赋吸引来了成堆的信和日记。他们被视为皇亲贵胄高高在上的一族。对于肯布尔的传记们来说，真正的竞争来自肯布尔本人。就像她的朋友亨利詹姆斯说的那样：“在两个半球，她见过所有人，知道所有人。”不仅如此，她还把这些生动的经历写进了自己的回忆录里，足足有好几卷。回忆录的内容包括人物、评论、社论、轶事、风景、政见和戏剧布景等：比如布鲁内尔的泰晤士隧道挖掘场景。肯布尔的回忆录，尤其是“佐治亚庄园的生活日记”一章，不仅引人入胜，而且具有重要历史意义。但是，现在吸引我们的是聪明且勇往直前的肯布尔冲破世俗的方式，或者说她如何改变和*性别政治强加给她的角
