AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels fora century —most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoein 1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; theliteracy （识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fictionappeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By alady. ”Novels, for the most part, werelooked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as itsfirst professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved,who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels andtheir readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist toTiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens ’word 版本整理分享greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon （名人堂） of English literature would make about as much sense asthe Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.Howdid Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the testof time is extremely difficult to pass. Some60,000 novels were published during theVictorian age, from 1837 to1901; today acasual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It ’s partly true that Dickens ’ style of writing attractedaudiencesfrom all walks of life. It ’s partly that his writings rode awave of social, political and scientific progress. But it ’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck madeDickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture —to understand how he madehimself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.word 版本整理分享B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23.What is the author ’s purpose in writing the text? A. Toremember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. Toencourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strangehabit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including thingsthat fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. Whatis even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bagsword 版本整理分享every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highwaysthat a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts( 收银台 ) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 citiesin California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to makethe case that their products are not as bad for the planet asmost people assume.Amongthe bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easilyrecycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent asmall percentage of all garbage on the ground today.z.x.xkThe industry has also taken aim at the product that hasappeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the moreplastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lastingreusable bags often require more energy to make. One studyfound that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to bebetter for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute （质疑） these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.word 版本整理分享24.What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Helpincrease grocery sales.B.

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.gkstk The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑）these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线）on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.gkstkThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In Americathe demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
