Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers ring the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.(T1)
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 bit-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 2,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 reviews who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were a out. 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 Cars, 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 England's foremost classical-music critics, and 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 Cars's 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 uphostered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

A arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.

D Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.
24. What can be learned about Cars according to the last two paragraphs?
A His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
B His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.
C His style caters largely to modern specialists.
D His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.

⑤ 2010江蘇高考英語第一篇閱讀
此題問的是:姓氏中「不」包含下列那個方面:生活地點;人的性格(character);人擁有的才幹;人的職業。
第五段第一句說:最早的姓氏取自地名,比如Brook(布魯克)取自地名brook(小寫意思是小溪)
第六段第一句說:另一些早期姓氏取自職業名稱,比如Smith(史密斯)取自smith(小寫意思是鐵匠)
第八段說:有些人相貌與眾不同,或才幹突出,於是姓氏中加入了這些元素。如同一村中有兩個John,頭發呈灰色的那個,就叫John Gray,音譯成約翰格雷,意思是「約翰灰色」
另比如一個人叫John Fish,就是指那個擅長游泳的John,像魚一樣擅長游泳的John。證明C被提到。
我想你不理解的是character的准確意思---這里意思是「(內在)性格」, 不是外貌特徵(looks)。
英漢字典上有的把character譯成「特徵」,指的是「性格特點,特徵」
英英字典例句:主要體會下邊例句,都是指性格方面的,抽象的,非外貌方面的。
1.
N-COUNT (可數名詞)The character of a person or place consists of all the
qualities they have that make them distinct from other people or places. 性格;
特性
例:
Perhaps there is a negative side to his character that you
haven't seen yet.
或許他性格中有你還未看到的消極一面。
2.
N-COUNT(可數)You use character to say what kind of person someone is. For
example, if you say that someone is a strange character, you mean they
are strange. (具有某種特性的) 人
例:
It's that kind of courage and determination that makes him
such a remarkable character.
正是那種勇氣和決心使他成為這樣卓越的人。
