内容简介

Text 1 Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage. It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies. We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. “So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,” Newman wrote, “that I am tempted to define ‘journalism’ as ‘a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are’.” Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. Is there any chance that Cardus’s criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly upholstered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat. 2022考研英语一历年真题，适用于： 参加全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语一、需要考研英语一历年真题进行复习的考生；需要反复刷真题的学生；大三开始备考考研的学生；英语零基础考生、需全面加强考研英语语法+考研英语长难句+考研英语阅读+考研英语词汇的考生；没时间上考研辅导班的考生。 推荐理由： 1. 考研英语一历年真题20套，包括考研英语真题、真题句句精读视频、文章录音、词汇特训、语法特训，全面训练更见成效； 2. 真题详解设有文章概览、篇章理解，全面剖析文章，帮助考生把握文章脉络，理清阅读思路，快速读懂文章； 3. 考研英语真题解析详细，中英文左右对照，分段讲解，设有题干选项翻译、正确选择、干扰排除、解题技巧等板块，传授考生正确答题的思路，揭示考研英语真题命题规律； 4. 5大电子增值资料，包括25年真题电子版、20年真题朗读音频、考研英语精选课、考研词汇特训、语法与长难句特训，扫码获取，方便学习； 5. 考研英语真题68篇阅读A节句句精读视频，逐词逐句精讲，扫码免费获取，随时随地学习（阅读A解析处可扫码可获取）； 6. 2000核心词汇卡片，随时随地记单词。
