James Joyce's Ulysses
In 1918, James Joyce's novel Ulysses was published in installments by a small Greenwich Village magazine, The Little Review.The novel, which uses stream-of-consciousness storylines to compress universal concerns into a single day in the life of three characters in 1904 Dublin, immediately came under the eye of the New York Anti-Vice Society because of its frank sexual content.
The publishers were tried under obscenity provisions in the U. S. Postal Code in 1920 and were found guilty, fined, and ordered to cease publication. Ulysses' banned status and publicity from the trial, however, generated widespread interest among some writers and readers.
In 1922, an American bookseller in Paris, Shakespeare Co, published the first edition, which sold out instantly. Joyce found champions in poets Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot and novelist Ernest Hemingway. He was hailed by some even as the greatest modem writer of English prose. The book was routinely smuggled into both the United States and Great Britain, where it was also banned.
Random House waged a four-year legal battle to publish Ulysses in the United States and won its landmark case in 1934. Four years later, the book was published in England. By the end of the 20th century, Ulysses is taught in colleges and universities around the world. Scholars admire its audacity and poetical vision. Readers love its playful humor and humanity. Some critics consider its publication the signal event in the emergence of the modern novel. In 1998, a board of distinguished writers convened by Random House's Modern Library series selects Ulysses as the best novel of the century.
James Joyce's Ulysses was banned because of its______.
A．stream-of-consciousness storylines
B．compression of universal concerns
C．certain obscene descriptions of life
D．being fined and ordered to cease publication

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
The author of some forty novels, a number of plays, volumes of verse, historical, critical and autobiographical works, an editor and translator, Jack Lindsay is clearly an extraordinarily prolific writer—a fact which can easily obscure his very real distinction in some of the areas into which he bas ventured. His co editorship of Vision in Sydney in the early 1920's, for example, is still felt to have introduced a significant period in Australian culture, while his study of Kickens written in 1950 is highly regarded. But of all his work it is probably the novel to which he has made his most significant contribution.
Since 1936 when, to use his own words in Fanfrolico and after, he "reached bedrock", Lindsay bas maintained a consistent Marxist viewpoint—and it is this viewpoint which if nothing else has guaranteed his novels a minor but certainly not negligible place in modern British literature. Feeling that "the historical novel is a form. that bas a limitless future as a fighting weapon and as a cultural instrument" (New Masses, January 1937), Lindsay first attempted to formulate his Marxist convictions in fiction mainly set in the past: particularly in his trilogy in English novels—1949 (dealing with the Digger and Leveller movements), Lost Birthright (the Wilkesite agitations), and Men of Forth-Eight (written in 1939, the Chartist and revolutionary uprisings in Europe). Basically these works set out, with most success in the first volume, to vivify the historical traditions behind English Socialism and attempted to demonstrate that it stood, in Lindsay's words, for the "true completion of the national destiny". Although the war years saw the virtual disintegration of the left-wing writing movement of the 1930s, Lindsay himself carried on: delving into contemporary affairs in We Shall Return and Beyond Terror, novels in which the epithets formerly reserved for the evil capitalists or Franco's soldiers have been transferred rather crudely to the German troops. After the war, Lindsay continued to write mainly about the present—trying with varying degrees of success to come to terms with the unradical political realities of post-war England. In the series of novels known collectively as The British Way, and beginning with Betrayed Spring in 1953, it seemed at first as if his solution was simply to resort to more and more obvious authorial manipulation and heavy-banded didacticism. Fortunately, however, from Revolt of the Sons, this process was reversed, as Lindsay began to show an increasing tendency to ignore party solutions, to fail indeed to give anything but the most elementary political consciousness to his characters, so that in his latest (and what appears to be his last) contemporary novel, Choice of Times, his hero, Colin, ends on a note of desperation: "Everything must be different, I can't live this way any longer. But how can I change it, how？" To his credit as an artist, Lindsay doesn't give him any explicit answer.
According to the text, the career of Jack Lindsay as a writer can be described as
A．inventive.
B．productive
C．reflective.
D．inductive.
As the UN hesitates，the poor take action
World leaders met recently at United Nations headquarters in New York City to diSCUSS the environmental issues raised at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992．The heads of state were supposed to decide what further steps should be taken to halt the decline of Earth’s life-support systems．In fact，this meeting had mach the flavor 0f the original Earth Summit．To wit：empty rhetoric and bickering between rich and poor．Think U．S． Congress in slow motion．
Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact that there has been some remarkable progress over the past five years-11eal changes in the attitude of ordinary people in the Third World toward family size and a dawning realization that environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately linked．A1most none of this，however，has anything to d0 with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio．
Or didn’ t accomplish． One item one the agenda at Rio，for example，was a renewed effort to save tropical forests． （A pervious UN—sponsored initiative had fallen apart when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation．）After Rio，a UN working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have s0 far gone nowhere．One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunize wood-exporting nations against trade sanctions．
An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO，and other greenhouse gases has flared even worse． Blocked by the Bush Administration from setting mandatory limits，the UN in 1992 called on nations to voluntarily I．educe emissions to 1990 levels．Several years later，it’s as if Rio had never happened．A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyoto，Japan，but governments still cannot agree on limits meanwhile，the U．S．produces 7％ more CO than it did in 1990，and emissions in the developing world have risen even more sharply．No one would confuse the“Ri0 process ”with progress．
While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impatient，people have acted．Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected，not because of Ri0 but poor people are deciding on their own t0 limit family size． Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor． From slum dwellers in Karachi，Pakistan，to colonists in Ron-donia，Brazil，urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realize that they pay the biggest price for pollution and deforestation．There is cause for hope we well in the growing recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interests to 6ght environmental reforms． John Browne，chief executive of British Petroleum，boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could no longer be ignored．
