35、gu n to n ote the in crease in dema nd for luxury goods andservices that took place in eightee nth-ce ntury En gla nd. McKen drick has explored theWedgewooFirms remarkable success in marketing luxury pottery. Plumb has written about theproliferation of provincialtheaters, musical festivals andchildr

36、ens toys and books. While the fact of this consumer revolution is hardly in doubt, three keyquesti ons rema in: Who were the con sumers? What were their motives? And what were theeffects of the new dema nd for luxuries?An answer to the first of these has been difficult to obtain. Although it hasbeen

37、 possible to infer from the goods and service actually produced what manu facturers andservici ng trades thought their customers wan ted, only a study of releva nt pers onal docume ntswritte n by actual con sumers will provide a precise picture of who wan ted what. We still n eed toknow how large th

38、is con sumer market was and howfar downthe social scale the consumerdemandfor luxury goods penetrated. With regard to this last question, we might note in passingthat Thompson, while rightly restoringlaboringpeople to the stage of eighteenth-centuryEnglishhistory, has probably exaggerated the opposi

39、ti on of these people to the in roads of capitalist consumerism in gen eral: for example, labori ngpeople ineightee nth-ce ntury En gla nd readily shifted from home-brewed beer to sta ndardized beerproduced by huge, heavily capitalized urba n breweries.To answer the question of why consumers becames

40、o eager to buy, somehistorians havepointed to the ability of manufacturers to advertise in a relatively uncensored press. This, however,hardly seems a sufficient answer. McKendrick favors a Veblen model of conspicuousconsumption stimulated by competition for status. The middli ng sort bought goods a

41、nd servicesbecause they wan ted to follow fashi ons set by the rich. Aga in, we may won der whether thisexpla nati on is sufficie nt. Do not people enjoy buying things as a form of self-gratification?Ifso, consumerismcould be see n as a product of the rise of new con cepts of in dividualism and mate

42、rialism, but notn ecessarily of the frenzy for con spicuous competitio n.Fin ally, what were the con seque nces of this con sumer dema nd for luxuries? McKendrickclaims that it goes a long way toward explaining the coming of the In dustrial Revolutio n. But doesit? What for example, does the product

43、i on of high-quality potterv and leys have to do with thedevelopme nt of iron manu facture or textile mills? It is perfectly possible to have the psychologyand reality of con sumer society without a heavy in dustrial sector.That future exploration of these key questions is undoubtedly necessary shou

44、ld not. however.diminish the force of the con clusi on of rece nt studies: the in satiabledema nd in eightee nth-ce ntury En gla nd for frivolous as well as useful goods and servicesforeshadows our own world.46. In the first paragraph, the author mentions McKendrick and Plumb most probably inorder t

45、o .A.con trasttheir views on the subject of luxurycon sumerism ineightee nth-ce ntury En gla nd.B.in dicate thein adequacyof historiographical approaches toeighteenth-century English history.C. give examples of historians who have helped to establish the fact of growing consumerism ineightee nth-ce

46、ntury En gla nd.D.support the contentionthat key questions about eighteenth-centurycon sumerism remai n to be an swered.47. According to the passage, Thompson attributes to laboring people in eightee nth-century En gla nd which of the followi ng attitudes toward capitalist con sumerism?A. Enthusiasm

47、 B. Curiosity C. Ambivalence D. Hostility48.Accord ing to the passage, eightee nth-ce nturyEn gla nd and the con temporaryworld of the passages readers are_.A. dissimilar in the exte nt to which luxury con sumerism could be said to be widespreadamong the socialclassesB. dissimilar in the extent to w

48、hich luxury goods could be said to be a stimulant of in dustrialdevelopme ntC. similar in their strong dema nd for a variety of goods and servicesD. similar in the extent to which a middle class could be identifiedas imitatingthe habits of awealthier class49. It can be in ferred from the passage tha

49、t the author would most probablyagree with which of the followi ng stateme nts about the relati on ship betwee n theIn dustrialRevoluti on and the dema nd for luxury goods and services ineightee nth-ce ntury En gla ndA. The grow ing dema nd for luxury goods and services was a major factor in the com

50、ing ofthe In dustrial Revoluti on.B. The In dustrialRevolutio n exploited the already existi ng dema ndfor luxurygoods and services.C. Although the dema nd for luxurygoods may have helped bring about theIn dustrial Revoluti on, the dema ndfor luxury services did not.D. There is no reas on to believe

51、 that the In dustrial Revoluti on was directly drive n by agrow ing dema nd forluxury goods and services.50. What does it refer to in the sentence .it goes a long way towardexpla ining the coming of the In dustrial Revoluti on. i n the lust paragraph bill one?A. This con sumer dema nd B. The con seq

52、ue ncesC. Luxuries D. The In dustrial Revoluti on4Si nee World War II. there has bee n a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college stude nts, toward early marriage. Many youths begi n dat ing in the firststages of adolesce nee, go steady though high school, and marry b

53、efore their formal educationhas been completed. In some quarters, there is much shak ing of gray ing hair and cluck ing ofmiddle-aged people over the ways of wild youth. However, emotional maturity is no respecter ofbirthdays: it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achie

54、ve itsurprisingly early. while others n ever do, eve n in three-score years and ten.Many stude nts are marrying as an escape, not only from an un satisfy ing home life. but alsofrom their own personal problems of isolation and Ioneliness. And it can almost be put downastrue that any marriage entered

55、 into as an escape cannot prove en tirely successful. The sad fact isthat marriage seldom solves on es problems: more often, it accentuates them. Furthermore, it isdoubtful whether the home as an in stitutio n is capable of carry ing all that the young are seek ingto put into it: one might say in th

56、eological terms, that they are giving up one idolonly to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parentsarewrong in believing that success is the ultimate good. but they erroneously believe that theythemselves have found the true center of lifesmeaning. Theirexpectati ons of ma

57、rriage are esse ntiallyUtopia n and therefore in capable offulfillment.They want too much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to followShall we, then, join the chorus of Misereres over early marriages? Onecannot generalize:all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good.

58、Satisfactory marriages are determ ined not by chrono logy, but by the emoti onal maturity of thepartners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits.If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively fewillusions or false expectations, and if it is economically

59、feasible, why not? Good marriages can bemade from sixtee n to sixty, and so can bad on es.51. Accord ing to the article the trend toward early marriages_.A. cannot be easily determ inedB. is one that can be clearly see nC. is an outgrowth of the moral laxity brought abut by World War IID. occurs aft

60、er every major war52. Accord ing to the article, successful marriages are determ ined by theemoti onal maturity of the part ners and not by_ .A. financial considerations B. parental consentC. educatio nal backgro und D. chrono logical age53. The author suggests that many of todays early marriages ar
