8 . Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching one has been the inevitable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.

It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once considered suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.

We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament (装饰) to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. “So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,” Newman wrote, “that I am tempted to define ‘journalism’ as ‘a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are’.”

Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.

Is there any chance that Cardus’s criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?

A．English-language newspapers with more arts coverage sell well.

B．Young readers nowadays enjoy reading high-quality arts criticism.

C．The criticism published in the 20th century lacked learned contents.

D．There were more arts reviews in English-language newspapers in the past.

2. Based on the third paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The newsprint was too cheap to make profits.

B．Not all writers were capable of journalistic writing.

C．Arts criticism was removed from the print newspapers.

D．Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.

3. Why was Cardus’s criticism no longer popular?

A．Because he mainly wrote essays on the game of cricket.

B．Because people cast doubt on his reputation as a knight.

C．Because his music criticism failed to appeal to readers nowadays.

D．Because his works were quite amateur rather than professional.

4. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．The Distinguished Critics in Memory	B．The Lost Horizon in Newspapers
C．The Shortage of Literary Geniuses	D．The Newspapers of the Good Old Days

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Whose gold coins?

In a village, a wise man often thought, “Nothing can come to a village whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he bad an idea to teach people a lesson.

The wise man dressed up and went to the main road of the village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the street and hid gold coins under the tone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.

The first person who came along the street was a milkman with his ear. He crashed into the stone, spilling (酒出) the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

A moment later, a group of women down the street, each balanced a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped (绊倒) over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.

The wise man kept watching all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody making an attempt to move it. The wise man was deeply disappointed. “What a shame! Is there no one in this village who feels it very important to keep their neighbors from harm?”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
