In 1755 British writer Samuel Johnson published an acerbic letter to Lord Chesterfield rebuking his patron for neglect and declining further support. Johnson’s rejection of his patron’s belated assistance has often been identified as a key moment in the history of publishing, marking the end of the culture of patronage.
However, patronage had been in decline for 50 years, yet would survive, in attenuated form, for another 50.
Indeed, Johnson was in 1762 awarded a pension by the Crown—a subtle form of sponsorship, tantamount to state patronage. The importance of Johnson’s letter is not so much historical as emotional; it would become a touchstone for all who repudiated patrons and for all who embraced the laws of the marketplace. [br] Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted phrase in the context of the passage as a whole? (patronage had been in decline for 50 years, yet would survive, in attenuated form, for another 50)
选项
A、It points out the most obvious implications of Johnson’s letter to his patron.
B、It suggests a motivation for Johnson’s rejection of Chesterfield’ s patronage.
C、It provides information that qualifies the assertion that Johnson’s letter sharply defined of the end of a publishing era.
D、It provides a possible defense for Chesterfield’s alleged neglect of Johnson.
E、It refutes the notion the patrons are found primarily among the nobility.
答案
C
解析
本题属于功能题,从句间关系来看,这句话功能与前一句观点取反。从这句话内容上来看,又没有完全否认前一句的观点,因为赞助确实已经衰落了,只不过会依然存在,因此qualifies一词用得就很精准,选项C正确。
