1 必修三 Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank-Note练习 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2019·南昌市重点中学高三段考)Following Mo Yan's Nobel Prize, the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of the Shanghai dialect (方言). Published in 2012, the 350,000-word Blossoms is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin's use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold. “I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form. I want to be special with my own language,” Jin told the Global Times. In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis. He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks (引号), showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben (话本) genre. Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of the dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech. Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories. “I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse,” he said. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,讲述了上海作家金宇澄的小说《繁花》。 1.What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A.The Chinese literary circle is always silent.

A.By inventing lots of typical characters. B.By creating a vivid background. C.By employing dialogues to develop plots and characters.

After the huntsman is unable to complete the task, Snow White runs throughout the forest and finds a small house of seven dwarfs (小矮人). Hearing that the huntsman didn't kill the Snow White from her magic mirror, the Evil Queen takes matters into her own hands and decides to find and kill Snow White herself. Pretending to be an old beggar, the Evil Queen gives Snow White a dangerous apple. Snow White falls into a deep sleep after eating the apple and is later woken up by a handsome Prince. They live happily ever after. In the original Brothers Grimm tale, the above isn't the end of the story as the Evil Queen unknowingly is invited to the wedding of Snow White and Prince. Once she arrives at Snow White's big day, hot iron shoes are placed in front of her and she is forced to step into the burning shoes and dance until she drops dead. This ending is much darker than that seen in the Disney film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Disney film adds a child-like wonder to the tale with the dwarfs each being named and therefore they all have their own personalities: Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. Also in variation to the original tale, the Prince and Snow White have met before her eating the apple and Snow White wakes up immediately after the Prince kissed her. They live happily ever after. The film Snow White and the Huntsman added something new to the tale. The Huntsman is told to return Snow White to the Evil Queen. If he does that, the Evil Queen will bring his wife back from the dead. Upon realizing that this was an empty promise, the Huntsman decides to teach Snow White how to fight against the Evil Queen. The moral (寓意) of the story hasn't changed over time: good will win in the end over evil. 语篇解读:《白雪公主》这个故事家喻户晓,但是这个故事不是只有一个版本。 5.What's the purpose of the author's writing Paragraph 1? A.To tell what happens to Snow White in the end. B.To tell what story Snow White tells about. C.To tell the original story of Snow White. D.To tell about a jealous step-mother. 解析:选B 作者意图题。根据第一段的内容可知,本段主要介绍了《白雪公主》这个故事的梗概。
