Percy Bysshe Shelley
Shelley,England’s greatest lyric poet（抒情诗人）,came of a family of some importance and power.Shelley,the eldest son,accordingly grew up with the prospect of becoming a man of wealth and title.At Eton（伊顿公学）,he proved a good classical scholar（古典派学者）,but was not very happy,for he was by nature revolutionary.He was known as “mad Shelley”.Shelley went to Oxford full of plans for changing the system of society—ideas partly picked up from the literature（文学）of the French Revolution.But he was dismissed because of his revolutionary idea.This to Shelley at 18 was a disaster,for he lost a valuable education at Oxford.
In 1813 he printed and published privately an extraordinary poem,Queen Mab（《麦布女王》）,which expressed his protest（抗议）against religion,his hatred of all forms of tyranny（专制）,and his belief in a new golden age.In 1816,he wrote Alastr or the Spirit of Solitude（《阿拉斯特》或《孤独的精神》）,the first long poem to show his true genius;next year he wrote a long imaginative poem on liberty and love,The Revolt of Islam（《伊斯兰起义》）,which was inspired by the French Revolution and contains many fine passages of description.
In 1818,he went to settle in Italy.There Shelley gave up his dream of reforming the world by direct political action and decided that he could accomplish（完成）most by passing on his own inspiration to others through his poetry.In this belief he composed his Prometheus Unbound（《解放了的普罗米修斯》）,a poem to be enjoyed for its incomparable music,its colour and story,as well as because it contains Shelley’s noblest ideas.At this time Shelley wrote his finest lyrics—The Cloud,The Skylark,the Ode to the West Wind（《云》,《致云雀》,《西风颂》）and others.
In the summer of 1822 Shelley with a companion sailed in his yacht（游艇）to greet Leigh Hunt;but on the return voyage,Shelley’s yacht was over-turned in a sudden storm and he and his friend were drowned.Shelley was 30 when he died.

B
In 1777,British soldiers marched on Philadelphia.People feared that the bell might be stolen by the British and used for scrap metal.So they loaded the heavy bell onto a wagon and took it to the basement of a church in nearby Allentown,Pennsylvania.Once during that rough trip,the bell fell off the wagon.Some people say that the fall may have weakened the bell’s metal.
In 1778,the bell was brought back to Philadelphia.It rang out when the Revolutionary War ended and when the U.S. Constitution（宪法）was signed.And it rang to mark the deaths of many famous Americans.It also rang for the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Then,in 1835,the bell cracked again.Some people say the bell cracked on George Washington’s birthday when some little boys pulled too hard on the rope.But most people say it cracked while tolling（敲钟）for the funeral（葬礼）of John Marshall,the chief justice of the United States.The story goes that as the crack ran up the side of the bell,the sound of its ring became higher and higher until it finally fell silent.
It was about this time,in the 1840s,that the bell was first called the Liberty Bell.Soon people began to think of the bell,with its large,jagged（有缺口的）crack,as a symbol of America’s struggle for freedom.
The Liberty Bell soon became famous.It was displayed many times at fairs and in parades（游行）around the country.It made cross-country trips by train and floated down great U.S.rivers by boat.Americans from all across the nation traveled for miles to see it.It no longer rang,but it was still proclaiming（宣告）“liberty throughout the land”.
For many years,the Liberty Bell was always returned to its home,In dependce Hall in Philadelphia.Today the bell has its own special building in Philadelphia.A small exhibit in the building tells much of the bell’s history.Each year,thousands of people visit the Liberty Bell,one of the most famous symbols of the nation.

答案：A

Who first conceived（构想）the idea of the Festival of Hong Kong?To whom did he propose?How did he convince（使人信服）others of the feasibility of such a festival?Had he worked out the details of his plan?How was the Festival told to the people of the “Pearl of the Orient”?Put it in another way:What purpose did the Festival serve?
The purpose,as stated in the newspaper （which did a great deal to promote the project）was a double one:to give Hong Kong people a sense of security after the disturbance（动乱）of 1967 and to make young people and working people aware of the need for a bit of fun and enjoyment in the grinding work of their daily lives.
The government spent about four million dollars in covering the city with gaily-bannered advertisements along the thoroughfares（大街）,setting up huge cubed boxes in open spaces and attaching dragon paintings on fly-overs.Merchants and hoteliers display signs and decorations that publicized the events.Movie stars,popular hands,combos（乐队）and singers participated in order to draw the crowds.
I was impressed.The Festival was a huge success,so much so that Statue Square each morning resembled a typhoon-stricken area.
One night,I got myself into a crush of young people at Kowloon pier（码头）of the Star Ferry.Therefore,I avoided that climax（高潮）of the Festival—the great along Nathan Road.I understand it was magnificent with great dragon,floral floats,a tattoo and Miss Hong Kong and attendants riding in decorated cars.
Was the Festival held at a wrong time?Was it too close to the Chinese Merchants’Association Exhibition,to Christmas or to the Chinese New Year?Did the Festival attract more tourists than usually come in December?There are hard questions to answer.
One thing is sure:most people enjoy the Festival.It seemed to help business.And，seemingly，more tourists came in December because of the Festival.The only big questions now are:can we repeat the Festival every year?Should we?
64.We are told in the passage that the purpose of the Festival of Hong Kong is .
A.to furnish newspaper with news
B.to attract tourists from abroad
C.to provide relief for the workers
D.to enable people to realize that life is not all work

D.the Festival should be held and whether it should be held every year

答案：D
67.In his conclusion,the writer says .
A.business was promoted by the Festival
B.Hong Kong people loved the Festival
C.the number of tourists coming to Hong Kong tripled
D.the Festival should definitely not repeated
解析：节日使人们放松了,吸引了大量的游客,是一个巨大的成功（a huge success）,所以作者认为香港人是热爱节日的。

答案：B
D
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes,as a rule,to have it retold in almost the same words,but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts.It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book,and,if a parent can produce what,in the actual situation of the time and the child,is an improvement on the printed text,so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking.To prove the latter,one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not.As to fears,there are,I think,some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story.Often,however,this arises（出现）from the child having heard the story once.Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively ture,that giants,witches,two-headed dragons,magic carpets,etc.do not exist;and that,instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales,the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history.I find such people,I must say so peculiar（奇怪的）that I do not know how to argue with them.If their cases were sound,the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
