2018年高考题

A【2018·浙江卷】

In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—

but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.

In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.

How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences

from all walks of life. It’s p artly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s 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 singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.

21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?

A. They were difficult to understand.

B. They were popular among the rich.

C. They were seen as nearly worthless.

D. They were written mostly by women.

22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.

A. his reputation in France

B. his interest in modern art

C. his success in publication

D. his importance in literature

23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To remember a great writer.

B. To introduce an English novel.

C. To encourage studies on culture.

D. To promote values of the Victorian age.

【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A

【解析】本文写于Charles Dickens诞辰200周年前夕，介绍了Charles Dickens在英国小说方面的重要贡献和深远影响。

22. 推理判断题。根据第二段Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.和列举的Charles Dickens小说的影响可知，把他和Mona Lisa相比是为了说明Charles Dickens在英国小说方面的重要性和Mona Lisa在绘画方面的重要性是一样的，故选D。

23. 写作意图题。根据文中对Charles Dickens及其作品在英国小说史上重要性的描写，和文章最后But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.可知本文是写于Charles Dickens诞辰200周年前夕，由此可知作者写本文是为了纪念这位伟大的作家。故选A。【点睛】

推理判断题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

本文推理判断题的考法：

1. 推测文章的观点或结论。小题1要求判断18世纪英国小说的现状，根据第一段对当时情况的描写nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy rate in England was under 50%.Novels, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.可知当时印刷技术落后，人们识字率低，小说被认为是愚蠢的不正常的，毫无价值可言。

2. 推测作者写作目的或意图。小题3判断本文的写作目的，根据文中对Charles Dickens及其作品在英国小说史上重要性的描写，和文章最后But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.可知本文是写于Charles Dickens诞辰200周年前夕，由此推断作者写本文是为了纪念这位伟大的作家。

B【2018·天津卷】

When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. "

"Oh, stop. There it is!”

The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.

"May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced

to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "

传记作文12篇

《传记作文》 传记作文（一）： 人物传记 打开窗子吧!让自由的空气重新进来!让我们呼吸英雄的气息。这是罗曼罗兰在《名人传》卷首语中开宗明义的一句话。或许，这也是他为自己全部作品所作的诠释。 《名人传》的作者是法国思想家、文学家罗曼罗兰。《名人传》讲的是贝多芬、米开朗其罗和托尔斯泰在人生忧患困顿的征途上，为寻求真理和正义，为创造能表现真、善、美的不朽杰作，献出了毕生精力。他们或由病痛的折磨，或由遭遇的悲惨，或由内心的惶惑矛盾，或三者交叠于一身，深重的苦恼，几乎窒息了呼吸，毁灭了理智。但是他们凭借坚强的毅力，走完了辉煌而艰苦的一生。 《名人传》的许多地方令人拍案叫绝，但是我最难忘的还是贝多芬说的一句话：人阿，靠你自己吧!这句话仿佛是对每一个生灵的忠告，假如不会自力更生，那么就自讨苦吃了。这三 位伟人，就是靠自己，才铸就了辉煌的一生。 贝多芬出身贫寒，十三岁辍学，十七岁挑起整个家庭的重担，二十五岁时他刚刚在乐坛崭露头角，耳朵又开始失聪。这种对音乐家而言十分致命的疾病给他带来的痛苦，十分人能想象，谁能想到他那些不朽的传世之作，绝大部分竟是耳聋以后写成的。在生活上，他一向是不幸的，由于贫困和残疾，他的感情生活布满了凄凉和遗憾。 尽管他的天才征服了全世界，尽管维也纳的精英人物视他为国宝，尽管皇亲国戚在他面前都会礼让三分，但他的生活境况却没多大改善。不错，他的艺术是无价的，于是人们慷慨的用掌声和欢呼声酬谢他，却没想到他的鞋子破的上不了街 然而，他没有被打倒：他痛苦，却不肯屈服于命运；他贫穷，却既不趋炎附势，亦不迎合潮流，始终持续着独立的人格；他孤独，却能以热忱的赤子之心爱人类；他从未享受快乐，却创造了快乐奉献给世界。他最后战胜了!战胜了疾病，战胜了痛苦，战胜了听众的平庸，战胜 了所有的磨难和障碍，攀登上了生命的巅峰，当第九交响乐在维也纳首演时，听众如痴如醉，许多人都流了泪，演出结束，掌声雷动，当他转身面向听众时，全场忽然起立，挥动帽子向他致敬，场面很热烈。米开朗其罗和托尔斯泰比贝多芬要幸运，他们没有任何肢体上的残缺，但是，他们不肯安享一生，不肯虚度年华，为自己的目标奋斗，拼搏。 有哪种胜利能与他们的成就相比？拿破仑的那场战争？奥斯特历茨那天的太阳？这种辉煌是精神力量所从未取得过的殊荣。他们用困难锻造自己。正如贝多芬用一句话概括了他的一生，这句话已经成了勇敢者的座右铭：为其痛苦，才有欢乐。 传记作文（二）： 母亲的传记 母亲出生在一个小村庄，在家排行老大，性格又乖巧，所以很受外公外婆的宠爱。小时候家里不算富裕，一家以卖蔬菜来维持生活，加上一个调皮的弟弟，生活更不好过。从小，母亲就学会了帮家里承担负担，虽然经常吃不饱，但她并不抱怨自己的出生。她与其他的孩子不一样，她喜欢帮大人们的忙，喜欢在泥泞的田地中奔跑。而她的弟弟却与她成为一种比较，弟弟好玩，而且经常弄得全身脏兮兮，被父亲训了多次，却屡教不改。

2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之人物传记类 1.（2011·山东卷）A Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller` s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so many others by the“Great Ame rican Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s. Millers' s most famous play, Death of a Salesman , is a powerful attack on the American system ,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.

Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews ,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut ,on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.56.

类型4| 人物传记 [经典案例分析] (2017·浙江高考·A)Benjamin West，the father of American painting，showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days，a brush was made from camel's hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long，the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱)．His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat's lot was about to improve.That year，one of Benjamin's cousins，Mr.Pennington，came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings.When he went home，he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings(版画)by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old，Mr.Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city，Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape(风景) painting.William Williams，a well-known painter，came to see him work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little，having been a poor student.But he later said，“Those two books were my companions by day，and under my pillow at night.”While it is likely that he
