31.According to Paragraph 1, the author’s posts on Twitter ____（细节）

32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?（作者态度）

33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?（细节）

34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ____（例子）

35. Which of the following questions does the text answer?（主旨）

A. Why did most Victorians look stern in photographs?

B. When did the Victorians start to view photography differently?

C. What made photography develop slowly in the Victorian period?

D. How did smiling in photographs become a post-Victorian norm?

Victorian多次出现，所以是主旨词，33题题干指出kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures（禁止笑），34题题干指出the disapproval of smiles in pictures（不让笑），所以主旨是不让笑，对应A的严肃，D的post-Victorian题干没有提到，也不能二分，因为有前维多利亚时期，所以选A

31.According to Paragraph 1, the author’s posts on Twitter ____

A. changed people’s impression of the Victorians.

B. highlighted social media’s role in Victorian studies.

C. re-evaluated the Victorians’ notion of public image.

D. illustrated the development of Victorian photography.

AC句意相似，但C重新评估维多利亚时期大众形象观念，实际上就是A的改变了人们对维多利亚时期的印象，C能推出A，答案选A

从原文看，定位the author’s posts on Twitter在第一段第二句，I’ve found quite a few, and — since I started posting them on Twitter — they have been causing quite a stir.句中出现了them，还原为上一句也就是第一句中的photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery?).对应选项A中的impression of the Victorians和C的the Victorians’ notion of public image，而第二句出现了causing quite a stir（……搅动），并且C中的动词是re-evaluated重新评估，所以必须要有评估才能重新评估，而原文没有出现评估，所以重新评估错，所以选A

32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?

A. They are in popular use among historians.

B. They are rare among photographs of that age.

C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions.

D. They show effects of different exposure times.

定位the Victorian portraits he has collected在第二段第一句Of course, I need to concede that my collection of “Smiling Victorians” makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, the majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops, or staring absently into the middle distance.选项中的They对应是the Victorian portraits he has collected，为原文中的my collection，所以重点是makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900而后半句是指the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900，不是作者收集的，作者收集的是only a tiny percentage of，所以对应B的rare，所以选B

33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?

A. Their inherent social sensitiveness.

B. Their tension before the camera.

C. Their distrust of new inventions.

D. Their unhealthy dental condition.

定位1890s在第四段最后一句Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.所以我们要在其他地方寻找解释，本句没有回答，而第五段开头出现了One explanation，意思是第四段最后一句的其他地方解释，可以回答问题所问，One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin.但是不能对应选项，所以看下一句，是否能构成因果关系，“Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,” ran one popular Victorian saying, alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene.中“Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,”自然给我们嘴唇来隐藏我们的牙齿，所以不让笑，可以构成因果关系，只出现了D中的dental牙齿，所以选D

34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ____

A. a deep-root belief.

B. a misguided attitude.

C. a controversial view.

D. a thought-provoking idea.

定位Mark Twain在第六段第二句，所以出题句在第六段第一句A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth) lacked class:drunks, tramps, and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons.选项没有具体化的事物，所以找最大的差异进行逻辑上的比较

A. a deep-root belief.（根植于）

B. a misguided attitude.（误导）

C. a controversial view.（争议）

D. a thought-provoking idea.（发人深思）

分号后面的大体意思是drunks, tramps, and music hall performers（人）可能……咧嘴笑……像……，但它没有成为一个合适……的人。代入选项，这些人咧嘴笑可以看成是一个固有偏见，即这类人可能干……，句子主干就相当于是一种固有的观念，所以选A
