5、remely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a halfdozen of them. Its partly true that Dickens style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. Its partly that his writings rode a wave

6、 of social, political and scientific progress. But its also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it

7、is possibleand important for our own cultureto understand how he made himself a lasting one.语篇解读：本文通过叙述查尔斯狄更斯对文学作品的贡献，呼吁读者在狄更斯200周年诞辰来临之际，纪念狄更斯。1Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?AThey were difficult to understand.BThey were popular among the rich.CThey were se

8、en as nearly worthless.DThey were written mostly by women.解析细节理解题。题目要求找出最能描述18世纪小说特点的选项，由文章第一段最后一句“Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad(小说在很大程度上被认为是愚蠢的、不道德的，或者简直有害至极)”可知，当时小说在人们心中毫无价值，因此选C。A选项中的difficult to understand以及B选项中的among the rich在文章中并没有出现，故排除A、B两项。

9、D选项中的mostly by women错误，文章中“often with something like By a lady”只是举例说明有些作品没有作者名字，而非小说主要由女士所著，因此排除D。答案C2Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress _.Ahis reputation in FranceBhis interest in modern artChis success in publicationDhis importance in literature解析推理判断题。第二段中“Today Dickens

10、greatness is unchallenged.”表明，如今，狄更斯的地位是无可匹敌的；和卢浮宫的蒙娜丽莎相比是因为蒙娜丽莎很重要，这样更突出狄更斯的重要性。再结合第三段查尔斯狄更斯被世人推崇的原因是他在文学方面的成就，故不难推测选D。文章没有说狄更斯在法国的名声，因此排除A项；B选项中的his interest in modern art在文中未被提及，因此排除B项；C选项中的in publication错误，因为本段主要讲述狄更斯在文学上的成就，所以排除C项。答案D3What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo remember
