The Charlotte Bronte Family

Yorkshire，England was the setting for two great novels(小说)of the 19th century.These were Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights.The youngest sister，Anne，was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.

Their father was Patrick，born in Ireland.He moved with his wife，Maria Bronte，and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820.Soon after，Mrs.Bronte and the two eldest children died，leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.

Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.Left to themselves，the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely selfeducated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.

As children they had all written many stories.Charlotte，as a young girl，alone wrote 22 books，each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting.Therefore，they turned to writing for income.By 1847，Charlotte had written The Professor；Emily，Wuthering Heights；and Anne，Agnes Grey.After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商)，but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.(It was not published until 1859.)However，one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started，and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once；thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.

Jane Eyre was immediately successful；the_other_two，however，did not do so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights.They said it was too wild，too

animal-like.But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book，and Anne died in 1849.

Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853.In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later，she died of tuberculosis(肺结核)as her sisters had.

36．We know from the text that ________.

C．the sisters received good education

D．Patrick helped his daughters with their writing

37．Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?

38．The underlined words “the other two” in the 5th paragraph refer to ________.

A．Shirley and Villette

B．the Professor and Agnes Grey

C．Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights

D．The Professor and Wuthering Heights

39．What do we know about the sisters from the text?

C．None of them lived longer than 40 years old.

D．Emily was the least successful of the three.

(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”．However，he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his

background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's“Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out)，I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either)and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied，the most common reason was t o “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella(ah，the big sellers，in other words)．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)．

40．How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A．By judging his manner of speaking.

B．By looking into his background.

C．By mentioning a famous name.

D．By discussing the book itself.

41．Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C．The author admitted having read 9 books.

D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

42．By lying about reading，a person hopes to ________.

A．control the conversation

B．appear knowledgeable

C．learn about the book

D．make more friends

43．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?

A．Favorable. B．Uncaring.

C．Doubtful. D．Friendly.

(2012·福建高考)At exactly eleven, Sir Percival knocked and entered，with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.This meeting would decide his future life，and he obviously knew it.

“You may wonder，Sir Percival，”said Laura calmly，“if I am going to ask to be released(免除) from my promise to marry you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father's wishes too much.”

His face relaxed a little，but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.

“No，if we are going to withdraw(退出) from our planned marriage，it will be because of your wish，not mine.”

“Mine？”he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing？”

“A reason that is very hard to tell you，”she answered.“There is a change in me.”

His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.

“What change？”he asked，trying to appear calm.

“When the promise was made two years ago，”she said，“my love did not belong to anyone.Will you forgive me，Sir Percival，if I tell you that it now belongs to another person？”

“I wish you to understand，”Laura continued，“that I will never see this person again，and that if you leave me，you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”

“I will do both those things，”he said.Then he looked at Laura，as if he was waiting to hear more.

“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage.”she added quietly.

“No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you.”he said.

44．How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21,1899－July 2, 1961) was an American writer and journalist. His writing style had a strong influence on the 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image(形象) affected later generations. Hemingway produced most of his works between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

Hemingway was raised in Illinois. After high school he reported for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist with the World War I ambulance drivers. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. In 1922, he married Hadley Richardson. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign journalist. Advised and encouraged by other American writers in Paris—F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, he began to see his work appear in print there, and in 1925 his first important book, a collection of stories called In Our Time, was published. A year later, he published The Sun Also Rises, a novel with which he scored his first solid success.

The writing of books occupied Hemingway for most of the postwar years. He remained based in Paris, but he traveled widely for bullfighting(斗牛), fishing, and hunting that by then had become part of his life and formed the background for much of his writing. Hemingway's love of Spain and bullfighting resulted in Death in the Afternoon(1932). His position as a master of short fiction had been advanced by Men Without Women in 1927. The harvest of Hemingway's considerable experience of Spain in war and peace was the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls(1940)．In_the_public_view，however，the_novel_A_Fare w ell_to_Arms(1929)overshadowed_those_works.

Shortly after he published The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway lived in Florida and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he ended his life in the summer of 1961.

47．Which arranges Hemingway's works in the correct order of time?

a. A Fare w ell to Arms

b. Men Without Women

c. The Old Man and the Sea

d. Death in the Afternoon

e. The Sun Also Rises

f. For Whom the Bell Tolls

A．e，a，b, f，d，c B．e，b，a，d, f，c

C．b，a，d，f，e，c D．b，d，a，e，c，f

48．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means that A Fare w ell to Arms________.

A．was thought to be better than Hemingway's other

works

B．was considered to make a show in Hemingway's

life

C．was only as excellent as Hemingway's other

works

D．was believed to be Hemingway's worst work

49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Hemingway must have spent his childhood in Italy.

B．Hemingway was an energetic writer with wide interests.

C．Hemingway's first book In Our Time was published before 1925.

D．Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature just after his death.

50．It can be concluded from the passage that________.

A．Hemingway produced most of his works in Africa

B．Hemingway led a very happy life in his last few

years

C．most of Hemingway's works were based on his life experience

D．Hemingway's writing style affected the life of later

generations

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的空格内填入最恰当的单词。每空格只能填一个单词。

Reading is good for you. You can bless yourself with great, long benefits by reading books that increase your skills, your imagination, your vocabulary and your powers of understanding.

However, not all reading is equally effective. We all know that some books are harder to read than others. If you try to read something that is too far beyond your ability, you will become frustrated and confused. However，if you only read things that are easy－recreational reading，we might call it—you won't be able to increase your mental skills.

Recreational reading is important and fun, but you need more.My suggestion is to develop a reading plan that, day by day，will help you improve your mental skills.

The secret of training your mind is to read books that are just a bit harder than you can manage comfortably. Over time, as your mind develops, your ability to read and to think will grow.

So I suggest that，every day，you make a point of spending no less than 20 minutes reading something that challenges you. Choose a topic or story in which you have an interest, but make sure that it forces you to think. Over time, move

deliberately from one book or article to another，making sure to choose new material that is just beyond your current level of comfort.

How do you tell if you are being challenged? Every now and then, as you read, ask yourself these three questions：

Am I encountering words I don't understand? Am I forced to stop once in a while to think carefully about what I am reading? Are there times when I must re-read passages in order to understand them more clearly? If the answers to these questions are no，you are not challenging yourself enough.

综合检测(一)

1．B greedy“贪婪的”；generous“慷慨大方的”；mean“吝啬的”；unkind“不友好的”。根据句中的语境“offer to pay for us both”可知此处表示“他真是太慷慨了”，故选B。

2．D be desperate for sth.“渴望得到某物”，为习惯搭配，故选D。

3．D句意：这是一个二选一的情况——我们要么今年买一辆新车要么去度假，但是我们不能二者兼得。分析题意可知，这是在两者之间进行选择，所以排除A、C两项，either用在否定句中表示全部否定，而both用在否定句中表示部分否定，所以选D。

4．B句意：我讨厌你像这样对待我。dislike后跟宾语从句时，一般把it 放在其中作形式宾语，后面再加上if或疑问词引导的宾语从句。

5．B句意：她想知道该如何描述一个以古代中国为背景的场面。be set in“以……为背景”，set in与scene之间为被动关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。

6．C考查动词用法。句意：八国集团是由世界上最富有的八个国家组成的。consist of“由……组成”，无被动和进行时，意思相当于be made up of。consist in“在于”。故选C。

7．B句意：这男孩一心想成为一个足球运动员。be bent on意为“一心一意要，决心要”，符合语境。其他三个选项并无系表结构，decide on sth.“就某事做出决定”，take on“呈现”，carry on“继续开展”，故选B。

8．D句意：汤姆问糖果制造商是否他们能让巧克力更容易被掰成小块。本句中easier是宾语补足语，用不定式作状语，故选D。

9．A考查动词词义辨析。句意：——我的儿子正在学习英语。我应该为他买什么词典？——这本怎么样？这本是专门为初学者设计的。be intended for“为……准备，专供……使用”。故选A。

10．A考查介词短语辨析。句意：只允许你一次借一本书。at a time意思是“一次，每次”；at times意思是“时常”；at no time意思是“决不”；at one time意思是“曾经，一度”。根据句意可知答案选A。

11．C考查固定搭配。句意：既然你如此忙，你愿意让谁写这个报告？would rather have sb.do sth.“宁愿让某人做某事”。

12．A考查名词辨析。句意：那个国家的老年人享有某些特殊待遇，诸如免费医疗和免费进入公立公园。privilege“特权，特殊待遇”；reputation“声望”；invitation“请柬”；possession“财产”。

13．D句意：他是个小偷。如果我是你的话，我就会与他没有任何关系。have nothing to do with...“和……无关”，符合语境，故选D。

14．C考查固定结构。would rather do...than do...“宁愿做……而不做……”，故选C。

15．B句意：如果她履行了诺言，她就已经上耶鲁大学了。look up to“仰望，尊重”；keep up with“赶上，与……保持同步”；come up with“想到，提出(主意、观点等)”。live up to one's promise“(某人履行诺言)”符合题意，故选B。

16．B battle战斗。

17．C关于他们的孩子该学习多少，什么样的成绩能让人接受(acceptable)的问题，他们的家成了经常“战斗”的场所。

18．C主要的“战斗”在他们的拒绝(refuses)学习的小儿子身上。

19．A他们越是强迫(pressure)他，他的叛逆性就越强。下文有提示词。

20．D彼得缺乏(lacks)自信，对与他的姐姐们相比感到厌烦。

21．B虽然彼得想取得好成绩，但是他害怕失败(failure)，因此不愿尝试。

22．B约翰和芭芭拉很重视(attach great importance to)孩子的成绩和成功。

23．A他们觉得很难(difficult)确定他们对彼得的将来该负多少责任。

24．D他们认为彼得的“失败”就是他们的“失败”，这让他们产生更多的焦虑(anxiety)。

25．C他们衡量(measure)父母的自我价值的方式是看孩子的学习成绩。

26．A ashamed羞愧的。

27．C他们羞于向别人承认彼得在学习方面表现不好。

28．A彼得认识到这点，同时感到受伤害(hurt)的是：父母认为别人的看法比他自己的看法更重要。

29．B他感到被误解、被排斥(rejected)、缺乏爱。

30．D他需要得到别人的认可和爱，不管(regardless of)他的成绩如何。

31．D他父母确实爱他。然而(However)，父母对他将来的忧虑，他们自己作为父母的价值观以及别人对他们的看法，阻碍了他们表达他们的爱。

32．C but但是，此处为转折关系。

33．A protect保护。

34．D彼得很想让父母高兴，但是他害怕失败和靠反抗父母的压力来保护他的自由和自我价值感的需求成为他爱父母的障碍(barriers)。

35．D彼得和他的父母都需要分析(analyze)自己，并摆脱阻碍他们体验爱、表达爱的固有观念。

36．A细节理解题。根据文章第四段倒数第一、二句话可知Jane Eyre出版于1847年。其余选项都与文章所给信息不符合，故排除。

37．D细节理解题。根据文章第四段It was not published until 1859.可知The Professor这本书出版于1859年；同时根据最后一段可知Charlotte死于1855年。

38．C根据文章第四段可知勃朗特三姐妹在1847年分别出版了Jane Eyre(Charlotte)；Wuthering Heights(Emily)和Agnes Grey(Anne)。再根据第五段的

第一句话可知正确选项。

39．C细节理解题。根据文章第三段开头可知勃朗特三姐妹的出生年代：Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.和第五段最后一句话Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book，and Anne died in 1849.和最后一段Charlotte死于1855年可以简单计算勃朗特三姐妹都没有活到40岁。其余选项都与文章所给信息不符合，故排除。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了作者就奥巴马写的一本书同朋友进行交谈，发现朋友撒谎说看过这本书的故事，从而引出了本文要讨论的主题：很多人明明没有看过某一本书，但是仍然说看过，这样做是为了给人留下知识渊博的印象。

40．D细节理解题。根据第一段中的However，he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.可知，当作者和这位朋友继续交谈关于奥巴马的情况时，发现这位朋友对他的背景一点儿也不知道，表明这个朋友并没有真正看过这本书，他撒谎了。A项表示通过他的说话方式；B项表示通过调查他的背景；C项表示提到一个著名的名字，这些均与原文的信息不一致，故选D项。

41．B细节理解题。根据第二段中的Approximately two thirds of people have lied...In the World Book Day's“Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.和后面的．..unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one...可知，guilty secret指的是人们撒谎说读过某本书这样的情况，故B项符合语境。作者并未承认看了9本书，而是Dreams From My Father这本书排名第9，故排除C项；A项表示查尔斯·狄更斯在书单中排名比较低，无依据；D项中的

hardly错误。而且这三项均与guilty secret不相关。

42．B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to.可知，当人们被问到为什么撒谎的时候，最常见的理由是为了给与他们谈话的人留下印象，表现出知识渊博的样子。因此选B。

43．C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的(I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)可知，作者坦承自己这样做过，并吃惊于58%的人说从来没这样做过，表明了作者对于这些人说法的怀疑。A项表示“赞成的”；B项表示“不关心的”；D项表示“友好的”，均与astonished意义不符。

【语篇解读】本文是记叙文，为经典文学作品的摘选，描述女主人公Laura向男主人公Percival提出解除婚约的故事情节。

44．C事实细节题。根据第一段中的anxiety and worry，第三段中的kept beating，第七段中的pale，lost their color，和第八段的trying to appear calm等细节描述可以知道Percival和Laura面谈时很紧张，故答案为C项。

45．A推理判断题。根据第二段中的my promise to marry you和最后一段中的make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you可以推断Laura曾经许诺要嫁给Percival，故答案为A项。

46．A推理判断题。从本文对细节精雕细琢、人物性格特征突出等写作特点可以推断文章摘自小说，故答案为A项。

【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国小说家欧内斯特·米勒尔·海明威的生平及其作品。海明威的代表作有《老人与海》、《太阳照样升起》、《永别了，武器》、

《丧钟为谁而鸣》等，他凭借《老人与海》获得1953年的普利策奖及1954年的诺贝尔文学奖。海明威的写作风格以简洁著称，对美国文学及20世纪文学的发展有极深远的影响。

47．B事实排序题。根据文中海明威的作品的出版时间可知，B项正确。

48．A句意理解题。这个句子中overshadowed是关键词，它的意思是“使显得逊色”，所以这句话的意思和A项接近。

49．B细节判断题。根据第三段第二句话可知，B项正确。根据第二段第一句“Hemingway was raised in Illinois.”判断A项错误；根据第二段中的“and in 1925 his first important book，a collection of stories called In Our Time.was published”判断C项错误；概括第一段最后一句中的“and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954”和最后一段最后一句中的“ended his life in the summer of 1961”判断D项错误。

50．C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...but he traveled widely for bullfighting(斗牛)，fishing，and hunting that by then had become part of his life and formed the background for much of his writing.”可知选C。

A Review of Robinson Crusoe

This is a novel by the English author Daniel Defoe，published in 1719.It is one of the most popular adventure novels in all literature.It is the story of Robinson Crusoe，an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island.He builds himself a hut，grows his own food, and becomes self-sufficient.After 23 years he meets with a group of cannibals and rescues one of their prisoners，a young native whom he calls

Friday.Crusoe and his “man” Friday become close friends，and when they are finally rescued four years later，both return to England.

Robinson Crusoe was partly based on the actual deeds of Alexander Selkirk，an 18th-century Scottish sailor who spent almost five years alone on a deserted island.This novel is famous for its lovely details and its expression of belief in man's ability when left alone in nature.
