Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs（议员） are beginning to talk of"a war on sugar", and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order to protect the nation's health.There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left, for Government was：what should we do about it?Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others—largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry—say the entire debate has been skewed, （歪曲） by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long﹣term conditions.But to what extent is sugar—rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets—the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it?Yesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization （WHO） were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have"additional benefits". The decision will now go out to public consultation.Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected"dirty work"on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message."The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families, we must protect personal choice, "Professor Capewell said. "We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups—with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals—with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in. "(1) By referring to smoking the author indicates that.A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smokingB. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban somethingC. it is easy for people to see bad effects of somethingD. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately(2) WHO has changed its idea mainly because.A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasizedB. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do nowC. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us goodD. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies(3) When reporting the argument about sugar，the author seems to.A. remain objectiveB. stand by those against itC. believe it harmlessD. hold the view of"wait-and-see"(4) Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage?A. Is sugar the new evil?B. How much sugar do you take daily?C. Is sugar to be taxed?D. How much do you know about sugar?19、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第53~55题6分Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man—made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone（臭氧） layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon （CFC） gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge"hole"in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon （HCFC）, which can also damage ozone.The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man—made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.They estimate that about 74, 000tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic ponents. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere—so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.Of the four species identified, CFC—113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.(1) What do we know about the newly discovered gases?A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.(2) The underlined word"archive"in Paragraph 6is closest to the meaningof""A. stateB. resourceC. phenomenonD. storeroom(3) What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?A. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.20、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第65~60题10分Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life."He was a social reformer, "says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. "He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor （悲惨）. "And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable （易受攻击的） children—characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant （幼儿） days.Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little companions in, misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor."When he was actually writing, he became his characters, "says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. "He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words—do the expressions, grimaces （鬼脸）, whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down. "Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims'Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from "Old Marley's Ghost "to" Marley's Ghost". Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section."He realizes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this, "Kiely explains. "He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas. "Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature."He achieved what any great artist achieves—a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for, "says Boyle. But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: "People think of him as a cheerful man…but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama. "(1) What can probably be reflected in Dickens' works?A. His love for his family.B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal education.D. His reason to choose literary career.(2) The author quotes Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show.A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived(3) It can be inferred from the passage that.A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failureB. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the publicC. A Christmas Carol proved Dickens an efficient writerD. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train(4) We can learn from the passage that.A. all the characters created by Dickens are popularB. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his worksC. Dickens was more interested in performing than in writingD. the films and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity(5) What did Dickens intend to do by telling his stories?A. To amuse his readers and change society.B. To analyze the nature of society he was in.C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.三、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）21、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第61~70题10分Emotional Intelligence （EQ or EI） is a set of abilities or petencies that enable us to understand and manage ourselves and our emotions effectively. EQ also helps us understand and effectively relate toothers. Stress tolerance, leadership, munication, social responsibility, problem solving and creativity all require high EQ.Here are some of the major emotional intelligence competences that make up a fully integrated personality as well as a sample of a state of the art assessment that measures EQ.Emotional Expression—The ability to express your feelings and instincts（本能）. Emotional expression is a necessary part of your day.EmotionalA wareness of Others—The ability to hear, sense or intuit what other people may be feeling from their words, body language（not verbal） or other direct or indirect clues.Flexibility—The ability to bounce back, be flexible, and retain curiosity and hope in the face of adversity, change or challenge.Optimism—B eing positive and optimistic.EQ is recognized to be one of the most important predictors of personal, business and professional success. In a world of unprecedented change and challenge it is our ability to increase our EQ that will help us build the leadership, transparent munication and collaboration to lead better lives, do better business and contribute to a better world.IQ may get you the client, but your EQ skills will help you keep the client and build a growing practice. Why? B ecause, while human beings like to make their decisions m an intelligent way to purchase a product or a service, the bottom line remains that we buy services and products from those we trust and like. It is our ability to trust and like another person that makes us feel comfortable with the relationship and inspires the desire to have or to purchase something from them.It is the human ability to put instincts, emotions and thoughts into the correct position in relation to each other that gives us the competence to increase our emotional intelligence. A nd it is the human ability to use the changes and challenges we face to develop self awareness and emotional management that helps us communicate better.With appropriate education and training, Emotional Intelligence can be developed throughout our lives. Like most human competences, Emotional Intelligence is best increased in the learning and the doing, and that is why EQ focused coaching is so powerful.四、书面表达（满分25分）22、【来源】 2014年江苏南通高三二模第71题25分2017~2018学年4月江苏泰州海陵区泰州中学高二下学期月考第91题20分请你根据对下面这幅漫画的理解，以"Come back to reality"为题，用英语写一篇作文．你的作文应包括以下内容：1．简要描述漫画的内容；2．概述你对这幅图的理解；3．举例说明你会怎样做．注意：1．可参照漫画适当发挥；2．作文词数150左右；3．作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等．Cone back to reality1 、【答案】 D;2 、【答案】 C;3 、【答案】 D;4 、【答案】 B;5 、【答案】 D;6 、【答案】 A;7 、【答案】 A;8 、【答案】 C;9 、【答案】 B;10 、【答案】 C;11 、【答案】 A;12 、【答案】 B;13 、【答案】 B;14 、【答案】 C;15 、【答案】 D;16 、【答案】 C;D;A;B;A;D;C;A;B;C;B;C;D;A;B;D;A;C;B;D;17 、【答案】 (1) D;(2) A;(3) D;18 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) C;(3) B;(4) A;19 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) D;(3) C;20 、【答案】 (1) B;(2) A;(3) C;(4) C;(5) A;21 、【答案】 1.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Due to rising pollution and a strengthening yuan, Beijing saw its tourist numbers drop to 4.20 million visits from January to November in 2013 from 5.01 million visits in 2012.The number of overseas travelers to Beijing grew after the city hosted the 2008 Olympics until 2012, when it saw a 3.8% __51__, followed by the further drop last year.

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown (触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on commercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) competitions begin with 68 men’s college basketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”. The winning team becomes the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot (吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning (棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.66. According to the passage, the Super Bowl is _____.A. a well-received American football gameB. an expensive American sportC. an impressive TV performanceD. a most-watched TV series67. Which of the following may be one of the reasons for the popularity of the Super Bowl?A. Its results are too exciting to meet viewers’ expectations.B.

American people of all ages like going to watch baseball games.C. All the American stars take part in the national basketball game.D.

Which of the following steps can be omitted if you want the robot to charge itself automatically?A. Press the HOME button on the remote control.B. Clear up the place around the charging home base.C. Turn on the power switch at the bottom of the robot.D. Put the charging home base against the wall and plug it in.71. If it’s 9:45PM now and you want the robot to start cleaning at 8:00AM tomorrow, you shouldset _____ on the robot.A. 13:45B. 10:15C. 8:00D. 1:4572. If you want the robot to start cleaning right now, you can _____.A. keep pressing the CLEAN button on the main body for 3 secondsB. press either of PLAN, SPOT, CLEAN and HOME buttons on the main bodyC. turn on the power switch and press the CLEAN button on the remote control onceD. press the CLEAN button on the main body once when the robot is in the sleeping mode73. The virtual wall is designed to _____.A. limit the robot to a certain areaB. prevent the robot from bumping into wallsC. stop the robot from reaching 4 metersD. create a bunch of light outside thedoorway（C）We have entered a new age of embedded (嵌入式的), intuitive (直觉的) computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It’s not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it’s time to take a pill.Technology is being integrated (融入) into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations throughmainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the introduction of the PC (personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.As the third wave keeps developing, designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that still matters, of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significantly and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.74. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2?A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.75. In the first wave of computing _____.A. companies’ operations were reliable on computer systemsB. computing had awareness of people’s needs in the contextC. people could have access to computing almost everywhereD. it was possible for people to experience computing at home76. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing?A. There’s no need to create a single product.B. The definition of the user experience is more significant.C. Products and services are not independent of each other.D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.77. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health —from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity (肥胖) in the long term, to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term, not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine (脊柱).To make matters worse, a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise, according to an article in The New York Times. The article reported that a study of nearly 9, 000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11 percent. In other words, sitting is killing us.Stand up for health. Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. When they looked at the data, there were some striking differences. Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair. Standing also burned more calories (热量单位：卡路里)—about 50 calories an hour. Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30, 000 extra calories, or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.John Buckley, a member of the research team, said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits, our bodies also need the constant, almost imperceptible (感觉不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides. Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.The researchers believe that even small adjustments, like standing while talking on the phone, going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail, or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator, will help.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to the context, the underlined expression “be countered with” in Paragraph 3can best be replaced by “________”.79. The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University ofChester in the UK are that standing _________.80. Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?81. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?第II卷(共47分)I.

Now it is on the lips of respected scientists; MPs(议员) are beginning to talk of "a war on sugar", and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order toprotect the nation's health.There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left, for Government was: what should we do about itSome believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others - largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry - say the entire debate has been skewed,(歪曲) by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions.But to what extent is sugar - rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or any of the other devils of modem diets - the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about itYesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚）from the World Health Organization (WHO) were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 per cent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have "additional benefits". The decision will now go out to public consultation.Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected "dirty work" on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message."The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入）in families, we must protect personal choice," Professor Capewell said. "We say there is no personal choice. At the moment, a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups - with three, or four, or five teaspoons of sugar in them. She has a choice of thousands of ready meals – with five, or six, or even nine teaspoons of sugar in."59. By referring to smoking the author indicates that______________.A. sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smokingB. it is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban somethingC. it is easy for people to see bad effects of somethingD. people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately60. WHO has changed its idea mainly because_________________.A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasizedB. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do nowC. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us goodD. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies61. When reporting the argument about sugar, the author seems to ___________.A. remain objectiveB. stand by those against itC. believe it harmlessD. hold the view of "wait-and-see"62. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passageA. Is sugar the new evilB. How much sugar do you take dailyC. Is sugar to be taxedD. How much do you know about sugarCScientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge "hole" in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂）production and solvents（溶液）for cleaning electronic ponents. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发）were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.63. What do we know about the newly discovered gasesA. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.64. The underlined word "archive" in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of"____ "A. stateB. resourceC. phenomenonD. storeroom65. What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases nextA. Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.B. Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.C. Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.D. Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.DCharles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life."He was a social reformer," says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. "He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨)."And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist: With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days.Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little panions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered being an actor."When he was actually writing, he became his characters," says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. "He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down."Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims' Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3-D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript（手稿）of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from "Old Marley's Ghost" to "Marley's Ghost". Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section."He realizes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this," Kiely explains. "He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas."Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a ic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist . Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature."He achieved what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for," says Boyle. But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: "People think of him as a cheerful man ... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama."66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens' worksA. His love for his family.B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal education.D. His reason to choose literary career.67. The author quotes Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show ______.A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived68. It can be inferred from the passage that _________A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a plete failureB. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the publicC. A Christrwas Caro l proved Dickens an efficient writerD. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train69. We can learn from the passage that _______A. all the characters created by Dickens are popularB. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his worksC. Dickens were more interested in performing than in writingD. the films and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity70. What did Dickens intend to do by telling his storiesA. To amuse his readers and change society.B. To analyze the nature of society he was m.C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.【考点】学校生活类-记叙文【文章大意】本文是夹叙夹议的文章，讲述的是一个小男孩上数学课总是讲话，别的老师认为他是一个有问题的老师，但是Anna不这样认为，她组织了竞赛，证明了自己的想法，挖掘了小男孩在数学上的潜能。
