Ⅱ.阅读理解

As the financial crisis(危机)worsens，book publishers are reporting that Communist father Karl Marx is back in fashion.One German publisher，Karl-Dietz，has sold over 1,500 copies of Capital(《资本论》)already this year，far more than 200 it usually sells.

“，”the publisher's director，Joern Schuetrumpf，told the BBC.“The financial crisis brought us a huge increase in sales.”

But does this mean that young Westerners are starting to be drawn back to the thinking of a man many considered to have gone out of fashion many years ago？While many young people may claim to support Marxist ideals，or wear T-shirts bearing his image，few are familiar with the man.

This could be a result of the way Marx is taught at high schools and universities.Most people learn about Marx in school through history lessons.He is associated with the fall of the

Soviet Union，and many consider his ideas out of date.

To understand Marx can be difficult as he is viewed differently by different people.

“For a long time few thought of Marx as anything other than an economic writer，”says John Callow，director of the Marx Memorial Library in London.“Mainly because few of his works were translated into English.”

Marx's masterpiece，Capital，was traditionally all that was studied of Marx.But today The Communist Manifesto(宣言)is more widely read，mainly because it is far more accessible.

This has led young people to associate him with revolution.His long beard has made him a symbol of the classic philosopher.

Marx is more likely to be quoted than studied in depth.Plenty of people know the famous lines，notably The Communist Manifesto's climax：“Workers of the world，unite！You have nothing to lose but your chains.”

In today's Western countries，Marx has become a cool fashion statement for younger generations.

“It is not unusual to see people wearing T-shirts with a hammer and sickle design on them these days，”says James.“But then how many of these people actually go out and vote for the Communist Party？”

1．What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably mean?

A．available B．popular

C．traditional D．unfashionable

答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的in fashion，与以往相比《资本论》的销量的增加和第二段中的“...brought us a huge increase in sales”可猜测其意思为“受欢迎，流行”。

2．What is the general idea of the third paragraph?

A．Young Westerners are starting to study Marx's thinking.

B．The thinking of Marx has been in fashion for many years.

C．Those who wear T-shirts bearing Marx's image have little idea of him.

D．Many young people have bought Marx's Capital.

答案与解析：C 段落大意题。文中第三段作者用问句的方式提出问题，并进行了回答。本段的主题句是本段最后一句。

3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Mang Westerners learn about Marx through their history textbooks.

B．Few people thought of Marx as an economic writer.

C．The Communist Manifesto is available at a low price.

D．Many of Mark's works have been translated into English.

答案与解析：A 细节理解题。A项符合第四段第二句话，故A项正确。B项内容与文章第六段的第一句——很少有人把他当做经济学作家以外的其他人——不符。C项表述与文章第七段内容不符。D项内容与文章第六段不符。

4．What does James really mean by his words in the last paragraph?

A．Marx's ideas are really in fashion now.

B．Marx is viewed differently by different people.

C．Marx is associated with the Communist Party.

D．Not many young people really understand Marx's ideas.

答案与解析：D 句意理解题。James提到：“现在通常会看到人们穿着印有斧头和镰刀的T恤衫。然而这些人中有多少会去支持共产党呢？”这里的潜台词是人们并不真正了解马克思主义。故D项正确。
