A
In 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 senseas 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 60,000novels 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 audiences
from 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 France
B. his interest in modern art
C. his success in publication
D. his importance in literature
23. 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.
B
Steven 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.z.x.xk
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 Neither
B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away
D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
C
As 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.zxx.k
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological
disaster. In America the 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.
