1、2022年考博英语-首都师范大学考试题库及全真模拟冲刺卷（附答案带详解）1. 单选题The biographer has to dance between two shaky positions with respect to the subject. Too close a relation, and the writer may lose objectivity. Not close enough, and the writer may lack the sympathy necessary to any effort to portray a mind, a soul-the quality of life. Who should write the biography of a family, for example? Because of their closeness to the subject, family members may have special information, but by the same token, they may not have th

2、e distance that would allow them to be fair. Similarly, a kings servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the kings biography-not for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.There is no ideal position for such a task. The biographer has to work in the position he or she has in the world, adjusting that position as necessary to deal with the subject. Every position has strengths and w

3、eaknesses: to thrive, a writer must try to become aware of these, evaluate them in terms of the subject, and select a position accordingly.When their subjects are heroes or famous figures, biographies often reveal a democratic motive: the attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. The biographies of Jesus found in the Bible are this class.Biographers may claim that their acco

4、unt is the authentic one. In advancing this claim, they are helped if the biography is authorized by the subject: this presumably allows biographer special access to private information. Unauthorized biographies also have their appeal, however, since they can suggest an independence of mind in the biographer. In book promotions, he unauthorized characterization usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress, A subject might have several biographies, even sev

5、eral authentic ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell the story of a life, perhaps not even the subjects, and this has been proved by the history of biography.1.The author cites the biographies of Jesus in the Bible in order to show that （ ）.2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?3.An unauthorized biography is likely to attract more readers because（ ）.4.In this passage, the author focuses on（ ）.问题1选项A.biographies can serve different purposes

8、es often reveal a democratic motive: the attempt to show that their subjects are only human, no better than anyone else. Other biographies are meant to change us, to invite us to become better than we are. 当传记的主人公是英雄或名人时，传记往往揭示出一些动机：有的动机试图表明传记的主人公和我们一样只是普通人，有的传记就是要激励我们让我们超越自己。”可知写传记有很多目的，举例也是为了表明传记可有不同的目的。答案A第2题:细节事实题。由第一段和第二段 “Similarly, a kings servant might not be the best one to write a biography of that king. But a foreigner might not have the knowledge and sympathy necessary to write the k

9、ings biographynot for a readership from within the kingdom, at any rate.There is no ideal position for such a task. 同样，一个国王的仆人可能不是为国王写传记的最佳人选。但是一个外国人可能没有写国王传记所必需的知识和同情心至少不是为王国的读者写的。对于这样的任务，没有理想的职位。 ”可知没有完美的人选来写传记，即没有人能写出完美的传记。故D项正确。ABC三项与文中内容不符。第3题:推理判断题。由最后一段“In book promotions, the unauthorized characterization usually suggests the prospect of juicy gossip that the subject had hoped to suppress. 在图书促销活动中，未经授权的描述通常会让人联想到作传记对象不希望有的有趣八卦。” 可知为了促销，一些“未经授权”的传记作家会在书中写一些传记对象的八卦（私生活信息）。故C项正确。第4题:主旨大意题。由文章开头及 A subject might have several biographies, even several “authentic” ones. We sense intuitively that no one is in a position to tell the “story” of a life, perhaps not even the subjects, and this has been proved by the history of biography. 一个主题可能有几本传记，甚至几本“真实的”传记。我们直觉地感觉到，没有人能够讲述一个生命的“故事”，也许甚至只是主题，而传记的历史已经证明了
