二、阅读理解提速练(限时25分钟)
A
Europe was once a mixture of Latin-derived (起源于拉丁语的) dialects that gradually, over the centuries, changed into a few separate languages — French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian.What happened in France, Portugal and Spain was an organic evolution: the dialect of the most prominent city gradually became the accepted language of the whole region; the strongest city determined the language of the whole country.
Italy was different.It didn't get itself united until 1861 and until then was a land of warring city-states ruled by proud local princes or other European powers.So it's not surprising that, for centuries, Italians wrote and spoke in local dialects that were not possible for each other to understand.
In the sixteenth century, some Italians got together and decided that this was absurd and Italy needed an Italian language, at least a shared written language to remove communication obstacles.So this gathering hand-picked the most beautiful of all the local dialects and crowned it Italian.What they decided was the personal language of the great poet Dante Alighieri.It was in this “sweet new style” of dialects that his masterpiece Divine Comedy (神曲), which was published in 1321, was written.It shocked the literature world that it was not written in Latin.
Dante's masterpiece helped shape Italian, affecting it as personally as Shakespeare would someday affect English.For a group of nationalists much later in history to have sat down and decided that Dante's Italian would now be the official language of Italy would be very much as if a group of Oxford researchers had sat down one day in the early nineteenth century and decided that — from this point forward — everybody in England was going to speak pure Shakespeare.And it actually worked.
