　　Wranglers and Stranglers

　　Years ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin，who seemed to have amazing creative __1__ talent.They were wouldbe poets，novelists，and essayists.They were extraordinary in their __2__ to put the English language to its best use.These promising young men __3__ regularly to read and critique (評論) each other's work.And critique it they did!

　　These men were merciless with one another.They __4__ the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces.They were heartless，tough，even mean in their __5__.The sessions became such areas of literary criticism that the __6__ of this special club called themselves the “Stranglers (扼殺者)”.

　　In order to __7__，the women of literary talent in the university __8__ to start a club of their own，one comparable to the Stranglers.They __9__ themselves the “Wranglers (爭論者)”.They，too，read their __10__ one another.But there was one great difference.The criticism was much softer，more __11__，more encouraging.Sometimes，there was almost no criticism at all.Every effort，even the weakest one，was __12__.

　　Twenty years later an alumnus of the university was making an exhaustive __13__ of his classmates' careers when he __14__ a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers.Of all the __15__ young men in the Stranglers，no one had made a significant literary __16__ of any kind.From the Wranglers had come six or more successful __17__，some of national renown such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings，who wrote The Yearling.

　　Talent between the two?Probably the same.Level of __18__?Not much difference.But the Stranglers were strangled，while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a(an) __19__.The Stranglers __20__ an atmosphere of argument and selfdoubt.The Wranglers highlighted the best，not the worst.

　　【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議類的文章。一所大學(xué)里有兩個文學(xué)小組，他們對待他人的作品的方式不同，一個小組主要采用批評的方式，而另一個小組采取的卻是鼓勵的方式，后來，兩個小組的組員所取得的文學(xué)成就完全不同。

　　1.A.architectural B.artisticC.literary D.musical

　　答案　C　[考查語境邏輯。從后面的“They were wouldbe poets，novelists，and essayists.”可知他們即將成為詩人、小說家等，由此可知他們擁有了不起的文學(xué)天賦。architectural“建筑的”;artistic“藝術(shù)的”;musical“音樂的”。]

　　2.A.strength B.ability C.performance D.power

　　答案　B　[考查語境中名詞的辨析。從前面的“talent”可知他們很有文學(xué)天賦，所以此處是指他們在語言方面有著非凡的能力。strength“力量，力氣”;performance“表演”;power“權(quán)力，力量”。]

　　3.A.gathered B.organized C.challenged D.collected

　　答案　A　[考查語境邏輯。結(jié)合后面的“to read and critique(評論)each other's work”可知他們聚集在一起來閱讀和評論彼此的作品。]

　　4.A.turned B.translated C.combined D.divided

　　答案　D　[考查固定搭配。結(jié)合后面的“the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces”可知他們把最微小的文學(xué)表達(dá)都分解成很多份，來批評他人的作品。turn...into“把……變成”;translate...into“把……翻譯成”;combine不與into連用。 ]

　　5.A.appreciation B.criticism C.assessment D.judgment

　　答案　B　[考查語境邏輯。根據(jù)前面的“critique(評論)each other's work”可知此處表示他們在評論的時(shí)候一點(diǎn)也不留情面。appreciation“欣賞”;assessment“估計(jì)，評估”;judgment“判斷”。]

　　6.A.leaders B.organizers C.members D.arrangers

　　答案　C　[考查語境邏輯。從后面的“of this special club called themselves...”可知此處是指這個俱樂部的成員。leader“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者”;organizer“組織者”;arranger“組織者，經(jīng)辦者”。]

　　7.A.participate B.practice C.succeed D.compete

　　答案　D　[考查上下文暗示。結(jié)合后面的“the women of literary talent in the university __8__to start a club of their own，one comparable to the Stranglers”可知這個大學(xué)的具有文學(xué)天賦的女同學(xué)們決定組建一個她們自己的俱樂部來和那些男同學(xué)們競爭。participate“參加”;practice“練習(xí)”;succeed“成功”。]

　　8.A.determined B.agreed C.promised D.dreamed

　　答案　A　[考查語境邏輯。此處指這些女同學(xué)們下決心來開辦自己的俱樂部。agree“同意”;promise“允諾”;dream“夢想”。]

　　9.A.regarded B.called C.thought D.recognized

　　答案　B　[考查上下文暗示，結(jié)合前面的“called themselves the ‘Stranglers(扼殺者)’”可知此處是指這些女同學(xué)把自己稱為Wranglers。“regard”認(rèn)為;“think”思考，認(rèn)為;“recognize”承認(rèn)。]

　　10.A.works B.letters C.books D.papers

　　答案　A　[考查語境邏輯。她們也讀她們彼此的作品。letter“信件”;book“書籍”;paper“論文”。]

　　11.A.fantastic B.critical C.positive D.serious

　　答案　C　[考查上下文暗示。從后面的“more encouraging”可知她們的批評多是積極的，具有鼓勵性的。fantastic“荒誕的”;critical“批評的”;serious“嚴(yán)肅的”。]

　　12.A.required B.spared C.made D.encouraged

　　答案　D　[考查語境邏輯。由上文可知，“Wranglers”的特點(diǎn)就是“鼓勵”，故選D。此處表示她們鼓勵每一次嘗試，哪怕是最微弱的嘗試。require“要求”。spare no effort“不遺余力”;make every effort“努力”;B、C兩項(xiàng)均與語境不符。]

　　13.A.experiment B.study C.analysis D.judgment

　　答案　B　[考查語境邏輯。這里表示一個校友對他的同班同學(xué)所從事的職業(yè)進(jìn)行了研究。experiment“試驗(yàn)，實(shí)驗(yàn)”;analysis“分析”;judgment“判斷”。]

　　14.A.reflected B.resolved C.explained D.noticed

　　答案　D　[考查上下文暗示。根據(jù)后面的“a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers”可知通過研究他發(fā)現(xiàn)了Stranglers和Wranglers在文學(xué)成就方面的巨大差別。reflect“表明，表達(dá)”;resolve“解決”;explain“解釋”。]

　　15.A.optimistic B.confident C.bright D.honest

　　答案　C　[考查上下文邏輯。從第一段中“...a group of brilliant young men...”可知此處是指那些聰明的男同學(xué)。optimistic“樂觀的”;confident“自信的”;honest“誠實(shí)的”。]

　　16.A.achievement B.influenceC.contribution D.improvement

　　答案　A　[考查上下文暗示。結(jié)合前面的“in the literary accomplishments”以及上下文內(nèi)容可知他們沒有人取得驕人的文學(xué)成就。influence“影響”;contribution“貢獻(xiàn)”;improvement“改進(jìn)，改善”。]

　　高考曾用材料：2012江西卷B篇

　　選材相似度：★★★★

　　設(shè)題相似度：★★★

　　難度系數(shù)：★★★★

　　The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream.Everyone has heard of it，and many have died fighting for it.The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream.It is not defined by one dream，but all the opportunities that the United States has to offer.Since the founding of the United States，people have been striving to define the American Dream.

　　In the play Death of a Salesman，every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream.Willy feels that by being well liked he has achieved what the American Dream is all about.He has spent his whole life as a salesman who has not been very successful.As he gets older，he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life，and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.

　　Bernard，on the other hand，feels that the American Dream can only be achieved if one has been successful in their academic and professional careers.He shows that through hard work and dedication，success can be accomplished.He reached his professional goals and achieved his version of the American Dream.

　　Throughout the play these feelings are shown through the dialogue and actions of the characters.They try to achieve their goals of the American Dream.Willy is unsuccessful in his attempt，while Bernard is very successful in achieving his goal.

　　Many people try to achieve the American Dream，but few actually do so.As with any goal，the American Dream takes hard work and dedication.In Death of a Salesman，all aspects of this goal are examined.For the goal to be achieved，the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward.It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.

　　Note：

　　長短句分析：As he gets older，he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life，and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.

　　句法點(diǎn)睛：這是個主從復(fù)合句。As he gets older為狀語從句，he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life，and feels...為主句;only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy為賓語從句，該句使用的是倒裝語序。

　　句意：隨著年齡的增長，他開始和生活中的每個人發(fā)生沖突，并且覺得唯有自殺才能夠讓周圍的人最終快樂起來。

　　【語篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文，通過評論劇本《推銷員之死》來詮釋“美國夢”。

　　1.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

　　A.reasons for coming to America

　　B.something about the United States

　　C.something about the American Dream

　　D.the definition of the American Dream

　　答案　C　[主旨大意題。第一段總體指出了“美國夢”的一些情況，而并非是為“美國夢”下定義，故選C。]

　　2.The underlined word “striving” probably has the same meaning as ________.

　　A.trying hard B.giving up

　　C.bending down D.standing still

　　答案　A　[詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段對“美國夢”的簡要介紹以及接下來通過《推銷員之死》對“美國夢”的詮釋可知，作者想告訴我們，從一開始人們就在努力實(shí)現(xiàn)“美國夢”，因此strive應(yīng)該是與try hard同義的。]
