Part I Writing （100 分）
（1）Summary Writing. (1 题，共 40 分)
Directions: Please read the following passage, and write a summary around
120-150 English words without copying the complete sentences from the
text.
Not long ago, I took in one of the conversations you’re not supposed to have. It turned on
whether Vladimir Nabokov, author of Lolita, really desired underage girls. The usual arguments
came out: Nabokov was a master of personae, and Humbert Humbert a game to him. Kinbote,
analogous narrator of Pale Fire, didn’t make you think Nabokov loved boys. The late novels were
Nabokov’s allegories of the seductions of aestheticism, which transfigures the forbidden into the
beautiful; or moral paintings of our acceptance of crime, when crime is presented alluringly. So
love of the wrong subject becomes a metaphor for art, ethics, personality, and so forth.
I was reluctant to say that I felt these explanations were inadequate and even in bad faith. The
trouble with Lolita is plainly its ability to describe what a sexual twelve-year-old looks like. What
her dress is like when it brushes her knees, what her toes are like with painted nails, how the color
sits on the plump bow of her lips—the phrase for these is that it is “too real”; that’s the scandal. It
continues to be the scandal fifty years after publication, and it will be a scandal whenever adult
acknowledges the capacity upend his vision and see a child, protected larval stage of the organism,
as a sexual object. The girl is still a child, only now she is a sex child. Yet this makes me feel
Nabokov was not a pedophile but something he is not credited with being—a social critic.
You, too, see it, or should. The trend of these fifty years has been to make us see sexual
youth where it doesn’t exist, and ignore it as it does. Adults project the sex of children in lust, or
examine children sexually with magnifying glasses to make sure they don’t appeal to us. But these
lenses became burning glasses. The hips of Betty Grable melted and disappeared. The breasts of
Marilyn Monroe ran off and were replaced with silicone. The geography of fashion created new
erogenous zones—pelvic midriff, rear cleavage—for dieters starving off their secondary sex
characteristics, and for young teens, in the convergence of the exerciser and the pubescent child.
The waif and pixie became ideal. Mama and daughter look the same again before the bedroom
