(2026·安徽省六校联考)Walking into Dryden Theater, I felt as if I had stepped into a time machine—the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of old-style movie posters on the walls.As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s spoke to all of the attendees.
Normally, Philip Carli is the pianist playing the live accompaniment for the films.However,The Barker has music synchronized (同步) with the film, so he was tasked with giving the audience a historical background of the film.Carli's wide breadth of knowledge about the background of the film made it feel as if I was transported to the time and place of The Barker before the start of the film.
返回
‹#›
Earlier, films were played with live accompaniment, contained intertitles to add context, and some added sound bites.With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes occasionally.The Barker, released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie (有声电影)”.
The film, which explores the lives of workers, is the first appearance of all of the main cast in a talking role.It was revolutionary for the technology but also for the actors.My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so watching The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new.
返回
‹#›
The experience was unlike any movie-going experience I have ever had.Since viewing films has gradually been reduced to streaming services, this has increased the accessibility of film but we are stripped of a social experience to watch a movie—one that attending The Barker reminded me of.This allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure.Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms.More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people.
返回
‹#›
The experience brought back the pastime of going to the cinema—one that I think we should continue to enjoy.I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在德莱顿影院观看电影The Barker的独特体验,并呼吁人们重回电影院观影。

4.Who is Philip Carli?( )
A.A famous pianist in the film.
B.A person introducing the music.
C.A staff member in a box office.
D.A musician playing music live.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Normally, Philip Carli is the pianist playing the live accompaniment for the films.”可知,Philip Carli是为电影现场伴奏的音乐家。故选D。

(2026·河北省综合素质评价)Overseeing the development of a literary culture, which is part of a critic's job, is a process of fits and starts.Critics play a role in determining which books published today should be labeled “instant classics”, which books are best described as “little-known” and which books published in past decades or centuries deserve re-examination.Beginning in the early 20th century, reissues complicated those categories.Older books like “The Dud Avocado” and “Stoner”—and even “Moby-Dick” and “The Great Gatsby”—became more famous upon reprinting than they had been when originally published.
返回
‹#›
The canon (文学经典) itself is in a constant, ongoing process of being shaped by book lovers who are often in disagreement not only about what qualifies as literature but also about the purpose of reading literature.A reissue, more often than not published after the author is dead, rebalances the purpose of literature away from writer intent and more toward reader intent.
Early last year, the small magazine n+1 restated a longstanding policy: No dead people.Reading work from dead authors may be unavoidable, but as literary critics tasked with creating and shaping the conversation, writing about dead people was considered unacceptable — because it was unfair to expect that contemporary writers, already struggling to secure attention for their work, compete with dead writers.We need,n+1 argued, to “refocus the public's attention on the under-read work of the living.”

It's true that the literary world—perhaps egged on by editors, publishers and critics alike—frequently talks about reviving unjustly ignored voices from the depths of history, trying to ensure they are rescued from being forgotten.We don't reissue the work of dead authors in order to do right by them, but because their work is a piece of history.We need to understand literature in its own right and as an expression of its own time and context, even if that context is horrifying or uninviting or problematic.Reading well—and writing good criticism—brings a sense of wonder to history, and despite the emotional influences that may sometimes inspire reissues, they uniquely connect us to the past, which will always be important.
