【题目】You may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.
Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.
Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.
Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.
The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.
Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.
【1】What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?
A. His travel experience.
B. His successful communication skills.
C. Adventurous experiences in the front line.
D. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.
【2】We can learn from the text that Moby Dick ________.
A. sold a little better than Pierre
B. was Melville’s favorite novel
C. was copied from other books
D. made Melville popular again
【3】The text may be taken from ________.
A. a writing guide
B. a literary journal
C. a science magazine
D. a critical book on literature
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. The main works of Melville.
B. The skills in Melville’s writing.
C. The ups and downs of Melville.
D. The reason for Melville’s failure.

【题目】No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the US. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these presents detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip (闲谈), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist (极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate (中立的). Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair (水门事件). The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
【1】There are fewer national newspapers in .
A. the US than in Britain or France
B. France than in the US or Britain
C. Britain than in the US
D. France than in Britain
【2】Why do most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers?
A. Because they have to give factual news in an interesting way.
B. Because they have to keep up a good relation with them.
C. Because they have to write about crime and gossip.
D. Because they have to compete with television.
【3】How do many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference?
A. By avoiding carrying articles about extremists.
B. By supporting extremist groups from time to time.
C. By printing articles representing different political viewpoints.
D. By inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them.
【4】The passage is mainly about .
A. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers
B. the characteristics of American newspapers
C. the development of American newspapers
D. the functions of American newspapers
