Passage 15 (2013 廣州，B)

        Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories,he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

        Born in 1881 to a wealthy family,Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893,however,his grandfather,a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money.At the same time,his father became seriously ill. From that time on,his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

        By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899,he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There,he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

        After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing.In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

       Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future.In 1926,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called 44pen warfarev .He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this,the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.

Passage 15

[語篇解讀]本文是一篇記敘文。題材為人物故事，講述了著名文學家魯迅的生平事跡，讓我們再次認識了這位偉人。

1. B細節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句可知。

2. B 細節(jié)理解題。由第四段中 It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success.可知。

3. A詞義猜測題。此處的This明顯與The True Story of AH Q構成并列結構，故排除D項，C項錯誤在于：它不是第一部中國小說，而是 第一部用白話文寫成的中國小說。文章中說魯迅的小說Diary of a Madmn取得巨大成功，使魯迅知名度上升，所以應該是側重于它取得的成功，而不是強調它是用白話文寫成，故B項錯誤。

4. C細節(jié)理解題。由倒數第二段的He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government.可知。

5. B細節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知文章是按時間順序寫的，答案很明顯為B項。
