In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friend ships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless,”Jenkyns said.Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty ,smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their familie s don’t want them to.In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not ony make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.Austen os often called the greatest romanti writer,so it is surprising she remained unmarried. ‘Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.34. From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know .A. Jane Austen passed away in her fiftiesB. Austen’s works remain popular todayC. all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films.D. Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family.35. Which of the following sentences is True?A. Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.B. Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.C.Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family.D. Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end.36. What does the underlined word”vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.粗俗的B.鲁莽的C.吝啬的D.伪善的37. From what Jenkyns says,we can learn __________.A. opposites can attract each otherB. lovers should improve each other.C. Austen’s works go beyond her timesD.Austen married a perfect man at lastCI will never forget the tenth summer ofchildhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy ,I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I don’t know. One day he said, ”Come, I have something for you.”I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal.” He said. Great, I thought,loo around for the boat. But there was none.Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed mesome tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat,and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said,”No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. Finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at ,but I was pound. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.We had to return to America. “You canot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.In 1964, Iwent to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise,for 34 years my treasure stayed here,waiting for my return. I felt we three were togethet again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.I carved”1930”and”1964” on its side and put it back.I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year,my grandfather seemed near.My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine,13; Claire,12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said ly,‘Grandpa,someday I’ll come back.” She added,”And I’ll bring my children.”38. What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?A. Boys should have a toy boat at childhood.B. People can simply buy whatever they need.C.Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.D. No one can give you what you do for yourself.39. The underline words”we three” in Paragraph 6 refer to__________A. Mother,the boat and me.B. Grandfather,the boat and me.C. Catherine,Claire and me.D. Grandfather , Mother and me.40. According to the passage,we can infer（推断）that _____________A. The writer’s mother was born in western NorwayB. The writer’s grandfather died in 1930C. The boat took me back to Norway four timesD. Claire understood the meaning of the boat41. What’s the best titile of the passage?A. The Little Boat That Sailed Through TimeB. The Little Boat And My WifeC. The Little Boat That Sailed At StorvassdalD. The Little Boat And My ParentsDIs your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Aamsung CEO spent a lot of time tal abput the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or awashing machine.So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an inf rared sensr(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.42. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Advantages of living with the InternteB.Disadvantages of living with the InternteC. The coming ” Internet of things”D.The imposslble ” Internet of things”43. Which of the following can support the idea “how will household objects connected to the Internet work?”A. A warm chair connected to the InternteB. Dog food bowls connected to the InternteC. A remote comtrol made by the Samsung CompanyD. An Internet-connected camera with an infrared sensor.44. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _________A. the possible problems of” the Internte of things”B. the problems with early connecten-home objectsC. how to get different new machines wor togetherD. how to solve the ” the Internte of things” problems45. Which of the following words best describes the writer’s tone(语气) in the article?A. DoubtfulB. HopefulC. HumorousD. Worried四、词汇运用（每空一词）46.

This spring, I chose Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. It was like love at first sight. At 15, I bought a book of collection of poems about Tang Dynasty. Through it, Iheard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted by a poem written by Li Bai-“Sailing to Yangzhou in March”.Yangzhou,sitting 2,500 years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2,400-year-old Grand Canal(大运河),is one of the first 24 historic and cultural cities in China. In the old town,there are many streets an houses. It’s best to visit the city in spring. Spring oaints the ci ty in brigtht colors. Yangzhou has alwys been famous for its gardens. Among them ,the Slender West Lake, one of the biggest attractions in the city,was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has eenough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day.
