【考点分析】①否定常考(unfocused)出22题。承接上文，上文讲我们的评论数量减少，这里继续讲我们甚至离20世纪初到二战期间的报纸评论也相差很远。Even farther removed from 表明作者的惋惜之情。② in detail and at length“详细的”③ serious“严肃的”④calling“对做某项工作的强烈欲望或责任感” proud“骄傲” 上面的这些词都表明二战前的报纸评论的风格。⑤否定常考，出23题。“因此，几乎没有人有足够的智慧或文学天赋在新闻事业上成就自己，我更喜欢吧新闻事业定义为“被假作家耻辱地使用了的术语，对真作家来说，他们不足挂齿”。”其实本句话中Newman wrote,后面的根本不需要看懂。
22. Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by
A free themes。
B casual style。
C elaborate layout。
D radical viewpoints。
【正确选项解析】A unfocused的英文解释：not concentrated at one point or upon one objective, free的英文解释是unrestricted，所以unfocused = free ,属于同义替换。
【干扰选项分析】
B 请看《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》字典对casual 的解释：(a)made or done without much care or thought; offhand 不经意的； 随便的； 马虎的； 临时的(b) (derog 贬) showing little concern; nonchalant; irresponsible 漠不关心的； 无动於衷的； 不负责任的(c) not methodical or thorough; not serious 无条理的； 不彻底的； 不认真的 。这几个意思都是和② in detail and at length“详细的”③ serious“严肃的”④calling“对做某项工作的强烈欲望或责任感” proud“骄傲”相矛盾的。所以不选。
C 强干扰项。elaborate 可以替换原文中的in detail ，但是layout(布局)无中生有，所以本题与原文不相符合。
D radical 激进的 无中生有。
23. Which of the following would shaw and Newman most probably agree on?
A It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals。
B It is contemptible for writers to be journalists。
C Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism。
D Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing。
【正确选项解析】D 对⑤同义替换。Few= not all ，have brains enough or literary gift enough=capable of
注意：D选项中not all属于部分否定，语气委婉，在选项中出现往往正确。
【干扰选项分析】A journalistic goals(新闻业的目标)，无中生有。
B “作家成为记者是值得鄙视的。”与④的proud (自豪的)相反。
C “作者容易被新闻业吸引”。对⑤偷梁换柱。原文说的是被define "journalism" as… 所吸引，而不是被journalism所吸引。
①Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. ②Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. ③During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. ④He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. ⑤Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. ①②③④⑤
