The earliest printed book we know today appeared in China in the year 868 and metal type was in use in Korea at the beginning of the fifteenth century, but it was in Germany around the year 1450 that a printing press using movable metal type was invented. Capitalism turned printing from an invention into an industry. Right from the start, book printing and publishing were organized on capitalist lines. The biggest sixteenth-century printer, Plantin of Antwerp, had twenty-four printing presses and employed more than a hundred workers. Only a small fraction of the population was literate, but the production of books grew at an extraordinary speed.
By 1500 some twenty million volumes had already been printed. The immediate effect of printing was to increase the circulation of works that were already popular in a handwritten form, while less popular works went out of circulation. Publishers were interested only in books that would sell fairly quickly in sufficient numbers to cover the costs of production and make a profit. Thus, while printing enormously increased access to books by making cheap, high-volume production possible, it also reduced choice.
The great cultural impact of printing was that it facilitated the growth of national languages. Most early books were printed in Latin, but the market for Latin was limited, and in its pursuit of larger markets the book trade soon produced translations into the national languages emerging at the time. Printing indeed played a key role in standardizing and stabilizing these languages by fixing them in print, and producing dictionaries and grammar books.
12.What happened in Germany around the year 1450?
13.What does the speaker say about the printer, Plantin of Antwerp?
14.What was the immediate effect of printing?
15.What was the great cultural impact of printing?
选项
A、It produced some 20 million volumes in total.
B、It helped the German people become literate.
C、It was the biggest printer in the 16th century.
D、It had more than a hundred printing presses.
答案
C
解析
录音明确提到Plantin of Antwerp是16世纪最大的印刷公司,故C项“它是16世纪最大的印刷公司”正确。A项“它总共发行了2,000多万册书”,录音提到截止至1500年,已有约2,000万册书出版发行,但并未指明这2,000万册是由Plantin of Antwerp所产。B项“它帮助德国人识字”是利用录音的literate来设干扰,录音中只提到当时的德国虽然只有一小部分人识字,但是书籍的生产却极迅速,这并不代表书籍的出版就能帮助德国人识字。D项“它有一百多台印刷机”,录音中说的是Plantin of Antwerp有24台印刷机、上百名员工,而不是上百台印刷机,故排除D项。
