For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag_walked_at_the_latest_edges_of_world_culture.Seriousness was one of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the welleducated and the pooreducated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture. In Notes on Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a littleknown set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous.Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content，beauty over morals”By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感覺論者), but by nature she was a moralist (倫理學(xué)者), and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor published in 1978, after she suffered cancer she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被壓抑的個性), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In reexamining old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, allpurpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.“Sometimes，” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending .is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.5The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag _.Awas a symbol of American cultural lifeBdeveloped world literature, film and artCpublished many essays about world cultureDkept pace with the newest development of world culture解析：選D句意理解題。從句子本意來講“桑塔格走在世界文化最前沿”，從時間上來講，意思是“最新發(fā)生的”；而且第一段前面也講到Sontag努力跟上文學(xué)、電影和藝術(shù)的新發(fā)展。本句含義是“桑塔格跟上世界文化最新發(fā)展的步伐”。6She first won her name through _.Aher story of a Polish actressBher book Illness as MetaphorCpublishing essays in magazines like Partisan ReviewDher explanation of a set of difficult understandings解析：選D推理判斷題。第二段講到，Notes on Camp使她首次成名，而選項中沒有這篇文章的名字。再看這句話，講到在Notes on Camp這篇文章里，她解釋了“a littleknown set of difficult understandings”。7According to the passage, Susan Sontag _.Awas a sensualist as well as a moralistBlooked down upon the pop cultureCthought content was more important than formDblamed the victim of cancer for being repressed解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感覺論者), but by nature she was a moralist (倫理學(xué)者)”可知，她既是感覺論者，又是倫理學(xué)者，因此選A項。8Susan Sontags lasting fame was made upon _.Aa tireless, allpurpose cultural viewBher lifelong watchword: seriousnessCpublishing books on moralsDenjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題問的是桑塔格持久的名聲，從最后一段第二句“But it was as a tireless, allpurpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.”可知選A項。.閱讀七選五There are certain steps you can take to relieve the damage done by some of the previously mentioned reading problems. _1_ Be sure to use and practice them as you read.Take breaks.Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well.
