   Welcome to my Message Board!
Subject: Slimming down classics?
 
Mr.
Handsome
2007-5-12
6: 34 AM
Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (經(jīng)典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.
 
Mr.
Edwards
2007-5-12
9: 40 AM
Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome.
I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承認) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳讀) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms. Weir
2007-5-12
11:35 AM
I’m director of the online book club www.lovereading.co.uk.
Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’ m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!
Mr.
Crockatt
2007-5-12
4:38 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
 
76. According to the message board, Orion Books ____________ .  
A. opposes the reading of original classics           B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future       D. is cautious in its decision to cut down classics
77. In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to ____________.
A. make them easier to read                     B. meet a large demand in the market
C. increase the sales of literary books              D. compete with their original versions
78. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir____________.
A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics          B. shows her love for original classics
C. feels guilty of not reading the classics           D. disapprove of shortening the classics
79. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that ____________.
A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
B. shortening the classics does harm to the original
C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job
D. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs
80. How many classics are involved in the massage board?
A. Two.          B. Three.               C. Four.         D. Five.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆河北省高三上學(xué)期期中考試英語題 題型：閱讀理解

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．

　 “Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby，especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．

　  Although anyone can do it，storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm  can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain．If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm - chasing vacations during the storm season．

　  Even then，storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．“Storm chasing is 95％driving，”says Daniel Lynch，who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．“Sometimes you

Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen，and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

　  However，for storm chasers，it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm，it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life，”says Jasper Morley．“Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．”

閱讀理解。
     Mead Vale Community Primary School opened in new buildings and spacious grounds in September 1977,
within a fairly small mature estate community. Times have changed, and we now cover a far greater area and
children travel to the school from as far a field as Benwell. Parents now have the choice of selecting schools
for their children's education and many parents choose Mead Vale.
     We are a Community Primary School administered by the School Governing Board which is responsible to
the North Somerset Council Education Board. Present school roll is around 415 with space for 420 in total. We
are delighted that we were awarded "Beacon Status" in 2002 and are pleased to share our expertise with other
schools. Last year we had visits from as far away as South Africa and Spain. We are a primary school covering
ages 4-11 and on transfer from here parents usually choose Word Comprehensive, Priory Comprehensive or
Wyvern Comprehensive. We feel the advantage of a Primary School is the continuity of education from 4-11
and the greatly reduced trauma involved in moving schools from Infant to Junior or First to Middle at the age
of 7. We are convinced of the benefit of this and deliberately structure the school in phases at four levels:
     Foundation: the reception year-a separate special early years curriculum;
     Years l & 2: the first two years of the national curriculum- previously infants;
     Years 3 & 4: the third and fourth year of the national curriculum-previously lower juniors;
     Years 5 & 6: the fifth and sixth years of the national curriculum-previously upper juniors.
     In each phase the children stay with the same teacher. It is likely that they will have only 4 different class
teachers during their seven years with us.
1. According to the author, ____.
A. he will open a new school covering a far greater area
B. he is proud of the achievements the school has gained
C. he will let the children have four teachers each year
D. he thinks these seven years will reduce trauma involved in the transfer
2. What does the underlined word "phase" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Year.
B. Term.
C. Part.
D. Stage.
3. The relationship among the following is ____.
    Mead Vale-M; Community Primary School-C; the School Governing Board-S;
    North Somerset Council Education Board- N; UK-U
A. U-N-C-S-M
B. U-N-S-C-M
C. N-U-C-S-M
D. N-U-S-C-M
4. What shall a primary school do with the education according to the passage?
A. Open in new buildings and spacious grounds; get a "Beacon Status" award.
B. Have a "Beacon Status" award; carry on the continuity of education.
C. Carry on the continuity of education; reduce trauma involved in transferring schools.
D. Reduce trauma involved in transferring schools; divide the students into different phases.
