Text 1
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.

21. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that
A 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.
22. Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by

23. Which of the following would shaw and Newman most probably agree on?
A It is writers' ty to fulfill journalistic goals.
B It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.
C Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.
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.
25. What would be the best title for the text?
A Newspapers of the Good Old Days
B The Lost Horizon in Newspapers
C Mournful Decline of Journalism
D Prominent Critics in Memory

⑤ 2010江苏高考英语第一篇阅读

此题问的是：姓氏中“不”包含下列那个方面：生活地点；人的性格（character）；人拥有的才干；人的职业。
第五段第一句说：最早的姓氏取自地名，比如Brook(布鲁克）取自地名brook（小写意思是小溪）
第六段第一句说：另一些早期姓氏取自职业名称，比如Smith（史密斯）取自smith（小写意思是铁匠）
第八段说：有些人相貌与众不同，或才干突出，于是姓氏中加入了这些元素。如同一村中有两个John，头发呈灰色的那个，就叫John Gray，音译成约翰格雷，意思是“约翰灰色”
另比如一个人叫John Fish，就是指那个擅长游泳的John，像鱼一样擅长游泳的John。证明C被提到。
我想你不理解的是character的准确意思---这里意思是“（内在)性格”, 不是外貌特征（looks）。
英汉字典上有的把character译成“特征”，指的是“性格特点，特征”
英英字典例句：主要体会下边例句，都是指性格方面的，抽象的，非外貌方面的。

1.
N-COUNT （可数名词）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.
或许他性格中有你还未看到的消极一面。

2.
N-COUNT（可数）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. (具有某种特性的) 人

例：
It's that kind of courage and determination that makes him
such a remarkable character.
正是那种勇气和决心使他成为这样卓越的人。
