In 1812,the year Charles Dickens was born,there were 66 novels ublished in Britain.People had been writing novels for a century--most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719--but nobody wantedto do it professionally.The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages;the literacy(if)rate in England was under 50%.Man works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors,often withsomething like"By a lady.Novels,for the most part,were looked upon as silly,immoral or just plain bad.
In 1870.when dickens died the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher,famous and beloved,who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters-from Oliver Twist to Tim-were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens'greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of english literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the mona lisa

How did dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60, 000 novels were published during the victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It's partly true that Dickens' style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It's partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it's also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches it is possible-and important for our own culture--to understand how he made himself a lasting one.

长难句分析
句意:1870年,当狄更斯去世时,全世界都为他哀悼,称他是第一位职业作家和出版人,他很出名,深受人们喜爱。狄更斯使小说的出版和读者数量
急剧增加,他笔下的人物一一从 Oliver Twist到Tiny Tim——都被奉为道德标杆。
分析:本句是主从复合句。when引导时间状语
从句;who和 whose均引导非限制性定语从句,共同修饰先行词 its first professional writer and publisher
推理判断题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,做出判断和推论,从而得到文章隐含的和深层的意思。第1题就从已知的狄更斯的伟大以及其影响推断他在英国文学上的重要性。
