Why pick up what literary history so resolutely discards? Any study of bestsellers confronts the same question as does the decaf, no-fat latte drinker in Starbucks: 'Why bother?' One justification, and the easiest demonstrated, is their interesting peculiarity. Like other ephemera of past times, bestsellers offer the charm of antiquarian quaintness. And, so short is their lifespan, that today's bestsellers become yesterday's fiction almost as soon as one has read them.
Looking back through the lists is to uncover delightful cultural oddities. Consider, for example, the top-selling novel of 1923 in the United States, Black Oxen, by Gertrude Atherton. Recall too that the discriminating reader of that year had James Joyce's Ulysses and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land.
The allusion of Atherton's title signals grand literary pretension; pretension absurdly unmerited. None the less, the novel's theme was, for the time, both topical and sensational - rejuvenation. For humans, that is, not cattle.
-
Why does the author mention Ulysses and The Waste Land in paragraph 2?
A. They were bestsellers just second to Black Oxen in 1923.
B. They were more popular than Black Oxen in 1923.
C. As contemporary novels of Black Oxen, they were not popular in 1923.
D. As bestsellers of 1923, they were not as popular as Black Oxen.
-
According to the passage, all of the following are true about Black Oxen EXCEPT
A. Though the writer of Black Oxen did get a treatment for keeping young, but it looked unsuccessful.
B. Black Oxen implied that the X-ray technique was welcomed by women who were in menopause.
C. Black Oxen was very popular in 1923 when people believed in pseudo science about a renewal of youthfulness.
D. Count Zattiany appeared in Black Oxen as a minor character.
Directions: Put the underlined sentence into Chinese, and write your translation on the Answer Sheet.
The first is to suggest that cosmopolitan cultures are the depthless commercial pleasures of the increasingly placeless capitalist elite. In this view, cosmopolitan culture is aligned with a postmodern culture that involves the visual and sensual pleasures of global cities, Hollywood cinema, Madonna CDs and Australian wine.

- 答案详解:
语境为 “税收改革协议是艰巨任务,充满可能导致其失败的政治陷阱”,需选择 “充满的” 含义的词汇。
选项分析:
- [A] trite:意为 “陈腐的”,侧重内容无新意;
- [B] rife:意为 “普遍的、充满的”,搭配 “rife with” 表示 “充满……”,契合 “充满政治陷阱” 的语义;
- [C] reveling:为动词 “revel” 的现在分词,意为 “狂欢、沉迷”,词性不符;
- [D] trifling:意为 “微不足道的”,与 “huge undertaking” 逻辑矛盾,故选 [B]。

原文提到 1923 年最畅销小说是《Black Oxen》,同时提及 “有鉴赏力的读者当年关注的是《尤利西斯》和《荒原》”,暗示后两部作品虽具文学价值,但并非当年畅销书,即不流行。
- [A]“仅次于《Black Oxen》”、[B]“比《Black Oxen》更受欢迎”、[D]“作为 1923 年畅销书不如《Black Oxen》受欢迎” 均与原文 “《Black Oxen》是当年最畅销小说” 矛盾,故选 [C]。

原文仅提到小说主题是 “返老还童”,涉及 X 射线技术,但未提及 “该技术受更年期女性欢迎”,[B] 属于无中生有。
- [A]“作者接受返老还童治疗但未成功” 对应原文 “1922 年作者接受治疗,从宣传照看对美貌无多大帮助”;[C]“1923 年人们相信伪科学,小说因此畅销” 对应原文 “小说契合当时时代背景,仅在该时期受欢迎”;[D]“Count Zattiany 是次要角色” 对应原文 “Mary Ogden 嫁给匈牙利外交官 Count Zattiany”,均符合原文,故选 [B]。

参考范文:
How to Reduce Corruption in Civil Government?
Government corruption manifests in various forms, such as bribery, abuse of power for personal gain, and embezzlement of public funds. Some officials accept bribes to grant improper favors, while others waste public resources for private interests, which seriously damages social fairness.
The seriousness of government corruption cannot be overstated. It erodes public trust in the government, undermines social stability, and hinders economic development. Corruption diverts public funds from education, healthcare, and infrastructure, affecting people's well-being and social progress. If left unchecked, it will threaten the legitimacy of the government and social harmony.
To combat corruption, multiple measures should be taken. Firstly, strengthen legal supervision and impose severe penalties on corrupt officials to increase the cost of corruption. Secondly, promote transparency in government work, such as publicizing government budgets and decision-making processes, to prevent power abuse. Thirdly, enhance the moral education of civil servants to foster a sense of integrity. Finally, encourage public supervision through media and public reporting channels to form a social atmosphere against corruption.
Only through joint efforts of the government, society, and individuals can we effectively reduce corruption and build a clean and efficient civil government.
