2017考研英语一新题型：不出意料排序题
2017年排序题考察的是记叙文，这就无疑比议论文和说明文低了难度，描述的是狄更斯的生平，按照人生时间顺序描述他从出生到后来家庭变故。从他父亲入狱被释放，到他的职业生涯，最后以他的人生巅峰作品《雾都孤儿》结尾。下面由跨考孟巍巍老师来给大家进行真题解析。[A]The first published sketch, “A Dinner at Poplar Walk” brought tears to Dickens’s eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine. From then on his sketches, which appeared under the pen name “Boz” inThe Evening Chronicle, earned him a modest reputation.
[B]The runaway success ofThe Pickwick Papers, as it is generally known today, secured Dickens’s fame. There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars, and the plump, spectacled hero, Samuel Pickwick, became a national figure.

[E]Soon after his father’s release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter’s eye for transcribing the life around him especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.
[F] Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England’s southern coast. His father was a clerk in the British navy pay office –a respectable position, but with little social status. His paternal grandparents, a steward and a housekeeper possessed even less status, having been servants, and Dickens later concealed their background.
