Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C orD. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. “So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,” Newman wrote, “that I am tempted to define journalism as a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are.”Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of Englands foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.Is there any chance that Carduss criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.21. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 thatA arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.B English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews. C high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.D young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.【正确选项解析】B 由第一段的decline in scope 和第二段的a considerable number 都在强调以前的报纸关于艺术评论数量很多，所以选择B【干扰选项分析】A 比较容易排除。与第一段矛盾，原文只是说decline, 即下降， 没有说消失(disappear)C 比较容易排除。“高质量的报纸未丧失大量的读者”。无中生有。D 强干扰项。“年轻的读者怀疑报纸上的评论不合适”。原文：牛津高阶英汉双解词 典marvel v be very surprised (and often admiring) 大为惊讶(常含赞叹之意)，表明其实 读者是赞同：这些评论可以再报纸上刊登的。这里的doubt 表示怀疑，所以与marvel 意思相反。22. Newspaper reviews in England before World War II were characterized byA free themes. B casual style.C elaborate layout. D radical viewpoints.【正确选项解析】A unfocused 的英文解释：not concentrated at one point or upon one
