Unit 3 Learning about Language阅读理解ADoes knowledge of a writer’s private life help to explain his works? It’s an age-oldquestion, but it’s also one in which interest is aroused(激起)again by Antonia Fraser’sbook about her life with Harold Pinter, Must You Go? The book is obviously a personalaccount rather than a study of the plays. All the same, I’d argue it sends a good deal oflight on Pinter, the dramatist(剧作家).I start from the belief that all information about a writer is helpful. In fact, one of thepleasures of writing Pinter’s biography was discovering that nearly all his plays werestarted by some strong personal memory. This got me into trouble with some critics. Iremember Martin Esslin, a great Pinter scholar, arguing that I had reduced the value ofPinter’s Betrayal by linking it to the dramatist’s seven-year-long love affair with JoanBakewell. But, as I saw it, that was sim ply the play’s origin. All I had done, I hoped, reminded people that Pinter was a writer who would make use of his own life experience.That point can also be seen from Antonia’s book. There’s an interesting account of a dinner with Tom Stoppard where Pinter says that he doesn’t plan his characters’lives and then asks his fellow dramatist, “Don’t you find they take y ou over sometimes? ”, to which Stoppard firmly replies, “No. ”That says a lot. One reason why The Homecoming is a great play is that Pinter allows his characters, almost unconsciously, to take over. Despite Stoppard’s many strengths, he tends to keep his c haracters under a much tighte r control.Again, t here’s an eye-opening passage in Antonia’s book where she recalls a moment in 1983 when Pinter refers back to his relationship with his former wife, Vivien, “While she was alive, if you think about it, so m uch of my work was about unhappy frozen married relationships. ”In short—as Stoppard once wrote—information, in itself, about anything, is light. And modern biography, particularly in the hands of masters, has been helpful to literature by opening writers’ lives to public eyes. For that reason, among many others, I welcome Antonia Fraser’s book.1. What is TRUE about Antonia Fraser’s book?A. It is well received by the public.B. It carries Antonia’s views about biography.C. It is helpful to the study of Pinter’s works.D. It includes serious studies of Pinter’s works.2. What do the author of this article and Martin Esslin disagree on?A. The litera ry value of Pinter’s Betrayal.B. The literary value of the accounts of Pinter’s life.C. The trut hfulness of the contents of Antonia’s book.D. The truthfulness of Pinter’s love affair with Joan Bakewell.3. What can we infer about Pinter and Stoppard?A. They treat their characters in different ways.B. Stoppard has more strengths than Pinter.C. They often have dinner together.D. They often argue with each other.4. This article is probably.A. a feature storyB. a book reviewC. a news reportD. a biographyGalaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聋哑)school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with t he sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of s unflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend? ”Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story.Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very posi tive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, “I’m going to tell your parents that I’ll be looking after you well with all my life! ”Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her par ents. She said, “This is Kazrim. ”Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing ha ppened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, “YOU CAN TALK? ”It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.5. How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?A. They met each other by chance.B. They were introduced to each other.C. They once studied at the same university.D. They both served in a special needs school.6. How did Galaxy probably communicate with Kazrim before she took him home?A. Writing words on paper.B. Using the sign languageC. Judging from his expressionD. Speaking her native language.7. What did Galaxy expect her parents to do?A. To have a talk with KazrimB. To prepare for her marriage.C. To treat Kazrim as a normal man.D. To accept Kazrim as her boyfriend.8. What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?A. They fell in love at first sight.B. They cheated each other to win love.C. They mistook each other for being mutes.D. They ignored the anger of Galaxy’s parents.“Confidence”is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress andthe way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, Ifind it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. Asa student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your handwhenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple orsilly. Otherwise you will never get a cha nce to speak in class at all. What’s worse, theprofessors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have yourown opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student torepeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches(The course I’m teaching here is public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.9. To compete with American students it’s very important to.A. be quite confidentB. be polite and friendlyC. have more discussions with themD. understand what they think about10. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who.A. gives a silly or simple answerB. tries to seize any chance to speak in classC. shows no interest in the courseD. is considered to have no opinion of his own11. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if.A. he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB. the students bargain with himC. he pretends to know what he doesn’tD. he has to give a speech12. We can learn from the second paragraph that.A. we should also remain modest in AmericaB. modesty doesn’t he lp in AmericaC. the Americans also like modest peopleD. modesty can help you through an American graduate program13. The passage is mainly developed by.A. providing examplesB. making comparisonsC. giving differen t figuresD. telling personal experiences答案解析【文章大意】本文主要叙述了作家的作品与作家的个人生活之间的关系。
