6、il he woke,much to the annoyance of the family.On his return,Williams slippers were brought to him,the paper and tobacco if previously delivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter.One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the villa

14、hases within four years,amounting to 42 billion.Sales have already started with dry goods such as books and CDs and,as people learn to trust it,will move on to regular purchases such as food.Iceland,the supermarket chain,began computer shopping trials two weeks ago and has already signed up at least
15、 15,000 customers,ranging from busy executives to the housebound.When it links up with digital television,Iceland expects to double that immediately.Yet internet-linked televisions and phones may be only the start.One potential breakthrough is Bluetooth,named after a 10th-century Danish king famed f

37、y D A Blind Vaulter Text D“I want to criticize the social system,and to show it at work,at its most intense.”Virginia Woolfs provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs.Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics,since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very diffe
38、rent from the 学英语 找长喜 5 traditional picture of the“poetic”novelist concerned with examining states of daydream and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.But Virginia Woolf was a realistic as well as a poetic novelist,a satirist and social critic as well as a vi
39、sionary:literary critics inattentive dismissal of Woolfs social vision will not withstand scrutiny.In her novels,Woolf is deeply engaged by the questions of how individuals are shaped(or corrupted)by their social environments,how historical forces impact on peoples lives,how class,wealth,and gender
40、help to determine peoples fates.Most of her novels are rooted in a realistically rendered social setting and in a precise historical time.Woolfs focus on society has not been generally recognized because of her intense disgust at propaganda in art.The pictures of reformers in her novels are usually
41、satiric or sharply critical.Even when Woolf is fundamentally sympathetic to their causes,she portrays people anxious to reform their society and possessed of a message or program as arrogant or dishonest,unaware of how their political ideas serve their own psychological needs.(Her A Writers Diary no
42、tes:“the only honest people are the artists,”whereas“these social reformers and philanthropists harbor discreditable desires under the disguise of loving their kind”)Woolf hated what she called“preaching”in fiction,too,and criticized novelist D.H.Lawrence(among others)for working by this method.Wool
43、fs own social criticism is expressed in the language of observation rather than in direct commentary,since for her,fiction is a contemplative,not an active art.She describes phenomena and provides materials for a judgment about society and social issues;it is the readers work to put the observations
44、 together and understand the coherent point of view behind them.As a moralist,Woolf works by indirection,subtly undermining officially accepted mores,mocking,suggesting,calling into question,rather than asserting,advocating,bearing witness:hers is the satirists art.Woolfs literary models were acute
45、social observers like Chekhov and Chaucer.As she put it in The Common Reader,“It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote;and yet,as we read him,we are absorbing morality at every pore.”Like Chaucer,Woolf chose to un
46、derstand as well as to judge,to know her society root and branch a decision crucial in order to produce art rather than argumentative.16.Whats the authors attitude towards the literary critics mentioned in Para.1?A scornful.B joking.C indifferent.D disappointed.17.Woolf realistically described the s
47、ocial setting in her novels because A literary critics considered her novels to be the most realistic.B she was interested in societys effect on people.C she needed to support the arguments she advanced.D literary critics would charge her for her inexactness.18.According to Woolf,the causes of refor
48、mers were A disgusting.B satiric or sharply critical.C worthy of sympathy D arrogant and dishonest.19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A Woolf criticized D.H.Lawrence for the realistic settings in his novels.学英语 找长喜 6 B Woolf didnt remark on the social issues directly in her n
49、ovels.C Readers may find Woolfs novel subtle and impossible to understand.D Critics ignored the social criticism in the works of Chekhov and Chaucer.20.Woolf chose Chaucer as a literary model because A he was the first to focus on society and individual characters.B he was an honest author trying to
50、 asserting,advocating,bearing witness.C he was more concerned with calling the societys accepted mores into question.D his writing was greatly,if subtly,effective in influencing the moral attitudes.词汇难句 语境词汇 Text A 1.intelligent a.聪明的，有才智的 2.murmur v.低声说；发低沉的声音 3.breed n.品种；类型 v.繁殖；饲养；养育 4.evolve v.
