佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
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 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 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 18
th
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
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 .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.
