问题 单项选择题

勒·克莱齐奥摘取2008年诺贝尔文学奖,在中国算是个“爆冷”的消息。毕竟,尽管在将近20年的时间里,他的作品只零零星星地在国内图书市场上出现过;尽管他是中国最早译介过来的法国当代作家之一,国内读者对他的认识怕是还停留在名字的阶段。甚至仅仅是名字,也是相当一级的法国文学爱好者才听说过。这既不说明读者无知,也不说明诺贝尔奖所谓的“独特品味”,而只是说明一直存在的文学与大众文化的差距而已,差距本身并没有高低之别。

对这段文字理解正确的是()。

A.获诺贝尔奖的作品大多曲高和寡

B.勒·克莱齐奥的作品在国内不畅销

C.“独特品味”使诺贝尔奖脱离大众文化

D.国内读者对诺贝尔奖获奖作品了解较少

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

由“差距本身并没有高低之别”知,A项曲解文意;C项错误,文段明确提到诺贝尔奖没有独特品味;D项未提及。由“只零零星星地在国内图书市场上出现过”知,B项正确。

单项选择题

Modern industrial society grants little status to old people. In fact, such a society has a system of built-in obsolescence. There is no formal system for continuing our education throughout our life in order to keep up with rapidly changing knowledge. When our education and job skills have grown obsolete, we are treated exactly like those who have never gained an education or job skills and are not encouraged or given the opportunity to begin anew.As a society becomes more highly developed, the overall status of older people diminishes. Improved health technology creates a large pool of old people, who compete for jobs with the young. However, economic technology lowers the demand for workers and creates new jobs for which the skills of the aged are obsolete, forcing older people into retirement. At the same time, young people are being educated in the new technology and are keeping pace with rapid changes in knowledge. Finally, urbanization creates age-segregated neighborhoods. Because the old live on fixed incomes, they must often live in inferior housing. All these factors — retirement, obsolete knowledge and skills, inferior standards of living — lower the status of the aged in society.A century ago, when one could expect to live only to 50 or so, the life span more or less coincided with the occupation and family cycle. But today the average life span allows for fifteen to twenty years of life after these cycles. It appears that our life span is outpacing our usefulness in society.

The more highly developed a society is,________.

A.the more advanced technology will be

B.the larger the number of people will be

C.the more diminished old people’s status will be

D.the lower the overall status of the people will be
