催眠的难句译注1.Thereisalimittotheamountofcreativetalentavailableintheworld.【参考译文】世界上可以获得的创造性才能的数量是有限的。写作方法与文章大意这是一篇论说“电视有害”的文章。采用对比分析手法。先提出问题,对比过去和现在“过去在业余时间,我们享受文明的欢乐,有各种嗜好,招待朋友,访友,外出娱乐,在家读书听音乐……现在一切受电视支配。匆忙赶回家,狼吞虎咽地吃完饭为的是准时看某个电视节目。只要不干扰节目,吃什么都可以!一块三明治,一杯啤酒就行。看时,谁都不许说话,完全没有了过去的那种悠闲,坐在一起吃晚饭,相互交谈白天的一切。”然后列出电视种种恶果:整个几代人成了电视迷,连孩子也不能幸免,电视消耗了大量的创造性工作,人们成为以来电视生存的人,被动娱乐,制止我们和真实世界交流。最后结论:到大自然去,忘掉电视。答案详解它剥夺了人们和真实世界的联系。文章多次提到现在我们不能探亲访友,一家人互不交流,而一旦离开电视就进入了真是世界。B.人变懒。C.人们变得依赖二手经验。D.电视浪费了人生的大量时间。这三项只是危害重具体一个组成部分。在安宁的大自然的怀抱中。答案在最后一段最后一句“在安详宁静的大自然环境中,我们很快发现我们对催眠的电视暴君连想都不怎么想!”A.远离文明。B.去山上。C.在海边。叫他们看电视。这在第二段第三句起“电视是一个万能安静器。母亲为使孩子们安静,就把他们放在起居室内,打开电视看。这是现在最权威的一招。至于孩子们看的使垃圾般的商业广告,还是施淫虐或暴力片都无关紧要,只要他们安静不闹。”B.把他们搁在起居室。C.让他们看垃圾片。都是其中的具体一部分。D.让他们呆着。没有提到。我们都成了电视迷。第一句“是的,可是没有电视之前,我们常干些什么?”这说明人们已经习惯于电视,以来电视,到了没有电视怎么办的境地。不知道没有电视前的情况。第二段“整个几代人越来越迷上了电视,饭不吃,家务不干,不睡觉。”可以说整篇文章都描写了人们对电视迷恋,依赖。第一句话是引言。所以B对。A.难以消遣。只是人们的一种感受。C.过去和现在不同。是一种对比,并没有点出这句话的真正内涵。D.享受文明欢乐。是过去所作的一个具体例子。PassageTwenty(TheLawtoKeeptheOilIndustryunderControl)TheNorwegianGovernmentisdoingitsbesttokeeptheoilindustryundercontrol.Anewlawlimitsexplorationtoanareasouthofthesouthernendofthelongcoastline;productionlimitshavebeenlaiddown(thoughthesehavealreadybeenraised);andoilcompanieshavenotbeenallowedtoemploymorethanalimitednumberofforeignworkers.Buttheoilindustryhasawayofgettingoversuchproblems,andfewpeoplebelievethattheGovernmentwillbeabletoholdthingsbackforlong.AsonNorwegianpoliticiansaidlastweek:“Wewillsoonbechangedbeyondallrecognition.”Eversincethewar,theGovernmenthasbeencarryingoutaprogrammeofdevelopmentintheareanorthoftheArcticCircle.Duringthepastfewyearsthisprogrammehashadagreatdealofsuccess:Tromsohasbeenbuiltupintoalocalcapitalwithauniversity,alargehospitalandahealthyindustry.Buttheoilindustryhasalreadystartedtodrawpeoplesouth,andwithinafewyearsthewholenorthernpolicycouldbeinruins.Theeffectsoftheoilindustrywouldnotbelimitedtothenorth,however.Withnearly100percentemployment,everyonecanseeasituationdevelopinginwhichtheserviceindustriesandthetouristindustrywilllosemoreoftheirworkerstotheoilindustry.Somesmallerindustriesmightevendisappearaltogetherwhenitbecomescheapertobuygoodsfromabroad.TherealargumentoveroilisitsthreattotheNorwegianwayoflife.Farmersandfishermendonotmakeupmostofthepopulation,buttheyareanimportantpartofit,becauseNorwegiansseeinthemmanyofthequalitiesthattheyregardwithprideasessentiallyNorwegian.Anditisthefarmersandthefishermenwhoaremostcriticaloftheoilindustrybecauseofthedamagethatitmightcausetothecountrysideandtothesea.1.TheNorwegianGovernmentwouldprefertheoilindustryto_________.A.providemorejobsforforeignworkers.B.slowdowntherateofitsdevelopment.C.selltheoilitisproducingabroad.D.developmorequicklythanatpresent.NorwegianGovernmenthastriedto_________.A.encouragetheoilcompaniestodiscovernewoilsources.B.preventoilcompaniesemployingpeoplefromnorthernNorway.C.helptheoilcompaniessolvemanyoftheirproblems.D.keeptheoilindustrytosomethingnearitspresentsize.tothepassage,theoilindustrymightleadnorthernNorwayto_________.A.thedevelopmentofindustry.B.agrowthinpopulation.C.thefailureofthedevelopmentprogramme.D.thedevelopmentofnewtowns.thesouth,oneeffecttothedevelopmentoftheoilindustrymightbe_________.A.alargereductiononunemployment.B.agrowthinthetouristindustry.C.areductioninthenumberofexistingindustries.D.thedevelopmentofanumberofserviceindustries.farmersandfishermenhaveanimportantinfluencebecause_________.A.theyformsuchalargepartofNorwegianideal.B.theirlivesandvaluesrepresenttheNorwegianideal.C.theirworkissousefultotherestofNorwegiansociety.D.theyregardoilasathreattotheNorwegianwayoflife.Vocabulary
