35. Which of the following questions does the text answer?(主旨)
A. Why did most Victorians look stern in photographs?
B. When did the Victorians start to view photography differently?
C. What made photography develop slowly in the Victorian period?
D. How did smiling in photographs become a post-Victorian norm?
Victorian多次出現(xiàn),所以是主旨詞,33題題干指出kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures(禁止笑),34題題干指出the disapproval of smiles in pictures(不讓笑),所以主旨是不讓笑,對應A的嚴肅,D的post-Victorian題干沒有提到,也不能二分,因為有前維多利亞時期,所以選A
31.According to Paragraph 1, the author’s posts on Twitter ____
A. changed people’s impression of the Victorians.
B. highlighted social media’s role in Victorian studies.
C. re-evaluated the Victorians’ notion of public image.
D. illustrated the development of Victorian photography.
AC句意相似,但C重新評估維多利亞時期大眾形象觀念,實際上就是A的改變了人們對維多利亞時期的印象,C能推出A,答案選A
從原文看,定位the author’s posts on Twitter在第一段第二句,I’ve found quite a few, and — since I started posting them on Twitter — they have been causing quite a stir.句中出現(xiàn)了them,還原為上一句也就是第一句中的photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery?).對應選項A中的impression of the Victorians和C的the Victorians’ notion of public image,而第二句出現(xiàn)了causing quite a stir(……攪動),并且C中的動詞是re-evaluated重新評估,所以必須要有評估才能重新評估,而原文沒有出現(xiàn)評估,所以重新評估錯,所以選A
32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?
A. They are in popular use among historians.
B. They are rare among photographs of that age.
C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions.
D. They show effects of different exposure times.
定位the Victorian portraits he has collected在第二段第一句Of course, I need to concede that my collection of “Smiling Victorians” makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, the majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops, or staring absently into the middle distance.選項中的They對應是the Victorian portraits he has collected,為原文中的my collection,所以重點是makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900而后半句是指the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900,不是作者收集的,作者收集的是only a tiny percentage of,所以對應B的rare,所以選B
33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?
A. Their inherent social sensitiveness.
B. Their tension before the camera.
C. Their distrust of new inventions.
D. Their unhealthy dental condition.
定位1890s在第四段最后一句Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.所以我們要在其他地方尋找解釋,本句沒有回答,而第五段開頭出現(xiàn)了One explanation,意思是第四段最后一句的其他地方解釋,可以回答問題所問,One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin.但是不能對應選項,所以看下一句,是否能構成因果關系,“Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,” ran one popular Victorian saying, alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene.中“Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,”自然給我們嘴唇來隱藏我們的牙齒,所以不讓笑,可以構成因果關系,只出現(xiàn)了D中的dental牙齒,所以選D
34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ____
A. a deep-root belief.
B. a misguided attitude.
C. a controversial view.
D. a thought-provoking idea.
定位Mark Twain在第六段第二句,所以出題句在第六段第一句A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth) lacked class:drunks, tramps, and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons.選項沒有具體化的事物,所以找最大的差異進行邏輯上的比較
A. a deep-root belief.(根植于)
B. a misguided attitude.(誤導)
C. a controversial view.(爭議)
D. a thought-provoking idea.(發(fā)人深思)
分號后面的大體意思是drunks, tramps, and music hall performers(人)可能……咧嘴笑……像……,但它沒有成為一個合適……的人。代入選項,這些人咧嘴笑可以看成是一個固有偏見,即這類人可能干……,句子主干就相當于是一種固有的觀念,所以選A
