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 under50%. 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 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 FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. 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.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was“not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！At mile3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36. A month before the marathon, the author____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. Lost hope37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.38. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.39. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.【天津卷】AFire Prevention InformationThe University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals.

2020年高考英语全国乙卷阅读a篇
2020年高考英语全国乙卷阅读a篇全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2020 Gaokao English Test Reading Passage AHi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the reading passage on the 2020 national Gaokao English test for Paper 2. It was a pretty long passage, but I'll do my best to explain what it was about in a way that's easy to understand.The passage was titled "The Art of Revitalization" and it talked about how some old and rundown areas in cities can be made nice again through something called urban revitalization. That just means fixing up buildings and neighborhoods that aren't looking so great anymore.It started off by describing this city neighborhood called the Baoshan District in Shanghai, China. A long time ago, this area had a lot of old factories and warehouses from when it was an industrial zone. But over the years, those old buildings became abandoned and rundown as industries moved away. The whole neighborhood looked kind of messy and ugly.That's when the city government decided to revitalize or renew the Baoshan District. They made a plan to renovate and repurpose all those old, vacant buildings instead of just tearing them down. Some of the old factories were turned into art galleries, museums, shops and restaurants. The abandoned warehouses got transformed into creative spaces for artists, designers and small businesses.Green spaces and parks were also added throughout the neighborhood to make it more livable. The article said this urban renewal project helped bring new life, creativity and economic opportunities to the Baoshan District without having to completely rebuild from scratch. It allowed the area's unique industrial heritage to be preserved too.Next, the passage talked about another revitalization project, but this time in Detroit, Michigan in the United States. Just like Baoshan District, parts of Detroit used to be booming industrial and manufacturing hubs back in the 1900s. But when a lot of the car factories and businesses left or closed down, many neighborhoods fell into disrepair and became sort of abandoned.So community leaders and residents in Detroit started grass-roots efforts to clean up and repurpose vacant lots andbuildings in creative ways. For example, they turned some empty lots into urban gardens and farms to grow fresh produce. Abandoned houses were renovated to become community art centers, small businesses incubators or affordable housing. There were even projects to install colorful outdoor murals and sculptures throughout the neighborhoods using recycled materials.The passage explained how this type of "placemaking" can help revive struggling urban areas by engaging local residents, promoting economic growth, and making neighborhoods more lively and beautiful again. Both Baoshan District and Detroit showed how thoughtful urban revitalization doesn't have to mean wiping the slate clean, but can instead celebrate an area's unique history and character.Towards the end, the reading passage gave some tips and principles for successful urban renewal projects:First, involve the local community in the planning process and get their input. Listen to residents' needs and ideas instead of just imposing plans from the top-down. Revitalization should serve the existing community, not displace them.Second, look for ways to preserve an area's cultural heritage and iconic architecture if possible, while still modernizing andintroducing new uses. The goal is to strike a balance between old and new.Third, prioritize sustainability and eco-friendly practices like green buildings, public transit access, walking/biking paths, etc. Urban revitalization shouldn't come at the cost of the environment.Fourth, promote a mix of uses like housing, businesses, cultural spaces so neighborhoods don't become lifeless after working hours. Lively, mixed-use areas tend to be safer and more vibrant.Finally, the passage emphasized how revitalization doesn't happen overnight. It requires long-term vision, planning and investments - but can pay off tremendously for a city by breathing new life into neglected areas.Phew, that was a lot to cover! But I hope I was able to explain the main points and examples from that reading passage about urban renewal in an easy-to-follow way. Let me know if any part was still confusing. Reading comprehension can be tough sometimes, but practice makes perfect!篇2The 2020 High School Test Was So Hard!Hi friends! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I just took the 2020 national high school English exam last week and boy, was it difficult! The reading passage in section A was really long and had some very big words. But I'll do my best to tell you all about it.The passage was titled "The Evolution of Language" and it talked about how human languages have changed over time. It said that languages are always evolving and new words get added while old words get dropped. It gave some examples of modern English words that came from other languages like "kindergarten" from German and "candy" from Arabic. Isn't that so cool?It also explained how the way we speak can be influenced by things like geography, culture, and technology. Like how people from different regions have different accents and dialects. And how the internet has led to new slang words being created and spread around quickly. I think the author made some good points there.But then the passage got really complicated and started discussing linguistics, which is the study of languages. It used all these technical terms like "phonology", "morphology", and"syntax" that went right over my head. It talked about the different components that make up a language's structure. I had to re-read those parts a few times to try and understand.Towards the end, the author raised some interesting questions about whether languages could become too different over time until people can't communicate anymore. Or if globalization and technology could eventually lead to just one common global language. Those were some deep thoughts to ponder!Overall, while parts of the reading were pretty confusing for a 10-year-old like me, I enjoyed learning about how languages evolve and change. It seemed like the main idea was that linguistic diversity is really important for cultural identity. But finding ways to bridge language barriers is also crucial in our interconnected world today.I just wish the passage could have used simpler words and explanations for complex topics. Maybe included some more engaging examples or stories to illustrate the points. However, I know these national exams have to be challenging to test our English abilities properly.Well, those are my thoughts on that crazy reading section! I'll have to wait and see how well I scored. No matter what, I'mproud that I put in my best effort in understanding the passage. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for reading, friends!篇3A Long Time Ago, There Were Some Cool AnimalsA really really long time ago, there were some super cool animals that lived on the Earth. These animals were called dinosaurs and they were huge! Some were really big, like the biggest buildings you've ever seen. And some were kinda small, but still way bigger than any animals today.The biggest dinosaurs were called sauropods. Saur-o-pods. That's kind of a funny word, right? These dinos were massively massive. They had long necks and tails and could reach the tops of tall trees to munch on leaves. Their legs were like tree trunks! Can you imagine an animal that massive? It would be like seeing a building walk around. Crazy!Other big dinos were the theropods. Ther-o-pods. These guys walked on two legs like people, but they were not people at all! They had huge jaws full of sharp teeth for munching on other dinos. The most famous theropod is probably the T-Rex. You'vedefinitely seen the T-Rex in movies with its tiny little arms and massive head. I wouldn't want to run into that guy in a dark alley!There were tons of other dinosaurs too, with all sorts of weird features. Some had horns or frills or plates sticking out. Some could fly and some could swim. Dinosaurs lived all over the world in all different environments like jungles, deserts, plains, you name it.Paleontologists, which are scientists who study dinosaurs, are still figuring out new things about these prehistoric creatures all the time. They dig up fossilized dinosaur bones, teeth, footprints, eggs, and sometimes even some dinosaur poop! Can you imagine studying poop for your job? Gross!Anyway, dinosaurs lived on Earth for like 165 million years. That's a loooooong time. They ruled the planet and there were no humans around at all. Then around 66 million years ago, something crazy happened that made almost all the dinosaurs go extinct.Scientists think a huge asteroid, which is like a massive flying rock from space, slammed into the Earth near the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. This would have thrown tons of dirt and rocks into the air, blocking out the sun. It also would have causedmassive tsunamis, earthquakes, and even volcano eruptions all over the planet. Yikes!With no sunlight, a lot of the plants died off first. Then the plant-eating dinos had no food. And the meat-eating dinos had no plant-eaters to eat. It was a real mess. Only a few small species managed to survive, and those are the ancestors of the birds and reptiles we have today.So while the dinosaurs may be gone, we still get to learn all about them from the fossils they left behind. If you find something that looks like an old bone sticking out of a rock, be sure to tell a grown-up scientist! You could discover a brand new species of dinosaur that no one has ever seen before. How awesome would that be?Well, that's the story of the dinosaurs as far as I know it. They were the coolest, biggest, weirdest animals to ever roam the Earth. I wish they were still around today so I could see one in person! Maybe if I wish really hard, I'll wake up tomorrow morning to find a brachiosaurus eating all the trees in my backyard. A kid can dream, right? Let me know if you want to hear more stories about these prehistoric pals. I've got tons of dino facts stored up in this brain!篇4My Amazing Adventure at the English ExamHi everyone! Today I want to tell you all about my incredible experience at the English exam that I took a while ago. It was the 2020 national exam for high school students in China, and I was so excited to show off my English skills!The exam had a reading section, and I remember the first passage called "A Trip to the Zoo." It was all about different animals and their habitats. I felt like I was going on a real adventure as I read the passage.The passage described how elephants live in the wild and how they use their long trunks to drink water. It was fascinating! I imagined myself standing right next to an elephant, getting sprayed by water as it took a sip. It made me giggle!Then, the passage talked about lions and their amazing hunting abilities. I imagined being a lion, prowling through the tall grass and stalking my prey. Roar! I even scared my cat with my fierce roar!After that, the passage introduced monkeys, which are known for swinging from tree to tree. I imagined myselfswinging through the jungle just like them. It felt like I was in a Tarzan movie!The second passage was about a young boy named Tom who loved playing soccer. I could relate to him because I love soccer too! It was all about his journey to becoming a professional soccer player. I was so inspired!Tom's story reminded me of my own soccer dreams. I imagined myself scoring the winning goal in a big tournament. The crowd cheered, and my teammates lifted me up in the air. It was such an amazing feeling!The last passage was about a famous scientist named Marie Curie. She discovered radium and became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. I was in awe of her achievements and felt inspired to pursue my own scientific interests.Marie Curie's story made me dream about becoming a scientist in the future. I imagined myself wearing a lab coat and conducting experiments in a fancy laboratory. Maybe one day, I'll make a groundbreaking discovery too!Overall, the English exam was a thrilling adventure for me. I traveled to the zoo, played soccer with Tom, and even became ascientist like Marie Curie. It was like stepping into different worlds and experiencing amazing things.I'm so grateful for the opportunity to take the exam and share my thoughts with you all. It was an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be writing my own passages for other young students to read!That's all for now, my friends. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my amazing adventure at the English exam. Remember, never stop dreaming and exploring new possibilities. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself!Take care and keep smiling,[Your Name]P.S. Thank you to all the teachers who prepared the exam and made it such a fun experience for us students! You're the best!篇5A Day in the Life of MeHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm a 10-year-old kid who loves going to school, playing sports, and hanging out with myfriends. Today I'm going to tell you all about a typical day in my fun-filled life!The day starts bright and early at 6:30am when my mom comes into my bedroom to wake me up for school. I never want to get out of my cozy bed, but she is super nice and makes me yummy breakfast like pancakes or eggs to help me start the day right. After getting dressed in my school uniform, I brush my teeth really well and put on my favorite sneakers.At 7:30am, my dad drives me to Oakwood Elementary. The car ride is only 10 minutes but we always listen to music and sing along together. My dad has a pretty good voice but sometimes I have to cover my ears when he gets a little too loud and off-key!When I get to school, I head straight to my classroom and put my backpack in my locker. Mrs. Thompson is my teacher this year and she is the best! She always has the biggest smile and makes learning so much fun. My favorite subjects are math and science because I love solving tricky problems.The first few hours of the day are spent on those main subjects, with some reading practice mixed in too. We just started a super cool science unit all about the human body. I can't wait to learn about all the different body systems and maybe even get to see real anatomy models!Around 11am, we get a break for snack time and recess. My friends Jack, Emily, and I usually eat our snacks together and then head out to the playground. We love playing fun games like tag, jump rope, or bouncing a ball back and forth. Sometimes we even bury things in the sandbox and have treasure hunts!After recess, we have special classes like art, music, gym, or computers. Art is definitely my favorite because I love drawing, painting, and getting creative with all kinds of materials. Last week we learned how to make pinch pots out of clay and I made a little bowl for my mom. She said she would use it to hold her jewelry which made me really happy.Lunchtime is at 12:30pm and the cafeteria always has pretty good food. My favorite days are when they serve chicken nuggets, but I also really like their cheese pizza and the salad bar with all the yummy toppings. I try to drink milk every day to help me grow big and strong. After eating, we have some free playtime outside again to run around and burn off some energy before afternoon classes.In the afternoon, we focus more on subjects like social studies, writing, and reading. We just learned all about Christopher Columbus and his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean.I thought it was so cool how he sailed for months acrossdangerous seas without really knowing what was out there. I don't think I could ever be that brave!At 3:15pm, the final bell rings and it's time to head home. Either my mom or dad picks me up and we talk about all the highlights from my day over a snack like an apple or some crackers. When we get home, I change into play clothes and have a little downtime before starting on any homework I have that night.If the weather is nice, I love going outside to play for a while. We have a big backyard with a swing set, trampoline, and area for riding bikes, bouncing balls, or running around. Sometimes I'll play made-up games with my neighbors or just explore the little creek in the woods behind my house.Around 5:30pm, my mom starts making dinner. She always makes something different and yummy like tacos, spaghetti, or chicken stir-fry with tons of veggies. While she's cooking, I set the table and get everything ready for when my dad gets home from work. We all eat together as a family and talk about our days. My little sister Lucy is only 5 but she always has the funniest stories to share.After dinner, I take a bath and get my pajamas on. If I don't have too much homework, I get some sweet free time to watch a show, play篇6Hi friends! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about this really cool reading passage I had to do for my big sister's high school English exam last year. It was called "Reading Passage A" and it was part of the 2020 National High School English Exam.The passage was all about these amazing animals called naked mole-rats! I had never even heard of naked mole-rats before, but after reading about them, I am totally obsessed. They are these teeny tiny rodents that live underground in huge colonies with one queen naked mole-rat who is the mama of them all.Isn't that crazy? They are like little bundles of wrinkly pinkness that look kind of like baby moles or tiny sausages. But they are actually more closely related to porcupines and guinea pigs than real moles. The name "naked mole-rat" comes from their weird hairless, wrinkly bodies and their love of burrowing underground like moles.What makes them even more amazing is how they live in these massive families of up to 300 mole-rats! And they are one of only two mammal species that are considered "eusocial" which means they are super cooperative and live in colonies kind of like ants or bees. Each colony has strict roles - there is one queen who does all the breeding, some mole-rats who are workers digging tunnels, others who are soldiers protecting the colony, and even some babysitters who take care of the pups!The queen is incredible - she can live over 30 years which is super old for a rodent. And get this - she got her queen title by being the most aggressive and fighting off all the other females when she was younger to become the matriarch. How fierce is that?!While the queen mole-rat just focuses on having babies, the rest of the colony works together like a little mole-rat society. The workers dig the complicated tunnel systems that can stretch super far underground. The tunnels have special chambers for nursing the pups, toilet areas, and even gardens where they grow the underground roots and tubers that they munch on.The soldiers are no joke either - they are a bit bigger than the workers and use their big buck teeth to defend the colony from anything that tries to invade, like snakes or other mole-rats.If a soldier gets stuckin a tunnel, it can actually turn around because its head can swivel almost all the way around its body! Freaky but useful.One of the coolest things I learned is that naked mole-rats are basically immune to cancer and don't feel much pain from things that would hurt other animals a lot. Scientists are studying them to try to understand these super powers.They are also probably the ugliest cute animals ever. I mean just picture hundreds of these wrinkly, hairless, sausage-like things with tiny teeth wriggling around in tunnels. But they are so interesting and unique that you can't help but love them!Reading about the naked mole-rat colonies in this passage was like diving into an whole other little world underground. Their lifestyle is so different from other rodents. I have so much respect for how hard they work together and how each little mole-rat has a vital role to play to keep their society going.I wish I could actually visit a naked mole-rat colony and see the queen and the workers and soldiers all doing their jobs. Maybe I could be a mole-rat babysitter for a day! Just don't make me fight the queen to try to take over - she sounds very tough.If you ever get a chance, you have to read more about these bizarre but amazing buck-toothed, wrinkly wonders. Learning about them was honestly the highlight of my big sis's English exam for me! Who knew getting an assignment about a reading passage could be so fascinating? Naked mole-rats, you have my heart.。

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered( 发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well —Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“ Paris’ s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “ She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this.

2021年新高考i卷英语阅读理解a篇
2021年新高考i卷英语阅读理解a篇In recent years, the concept of education has undergone significant changes. With the development of technology and the advancement of society, the traditional methods of teaching and learning are being challenged. As a result, there has been a growing emphasis on the importance of critical thinking skills in education. This article will explore the significance of critical thinking skills in the context of the 2021 New College Entrance Examination (NCEE), also known as the "new gaokao" in China.The New College Entrance Examination, implemented in 2021, aims to promote a more comprehensive and holistic approach to education. One of the key changes in the NCEE is the inclusion of more open-ended questions that require students to think critically and analytically. This shift reflects the recognition that memorization and regurgitation of facts is no longer sufficient in the modern world. To succeed in the NCEE, students need to develop their critical thinking skills.Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and evaluate information objectively and independently. It involves questioning assumptions, considering different perspectives, and forming reasoned judgments. In the context of the NCEE, critical thinking skills are essential for understanding and interpreting complex texts, making inferences, and solving problems.One of the main benefits of critical thinking skills is their application in real-life situations. In today's society, individuals are faced with an overwhelming amount of information from various sources such as the internet, social media, and traditional media. Being able to critically evaluatethis information is crucial for making informed decisions and avoiding misinformation. The NCEE aims to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate this information-rich environment effectively.Furthermore, critical thinking skills are closely associated with independent and creative thinking. By encouraging students to question and explore different ideas, the NCEE promotes a culture of intellectual curiosity and innovation. These are vital attributes for success not only in the examination but also in higher education and the workforce.To develop critical thinking skills, students need to be exposed to a range of texts and perspectives. The NCEE reading comprehension section provides an excellent opportunity for students to engage with various types of texts, including articles, essays, and literary works. By analyzing and interpreting these texts, students can enhance their comprehension skills and develop their ability to think critically.In addition to reading, writing also plays a crucial role in the development of critical thinking skills. Through writing, students are encouraged to organize their thoughts, construct coherent arguments, and communicate their ideas effectively. The NCEE writing section, therefore, serves as a platform for students to practice and refine their critical thinking and writing abilities.In conclusion, the introduction of critical thinking skills in the 2021 NCEE reflects the changing demands of education in the 21st century. By emphasizing critical thinking, the examination aims to equip students with the skills necessary for success in the modern world. The development of critical thinking skills not only benefits students in the examination but alsoin their future academic and professional endeavors. Therefore, it is essential for students to embrace and cultivate these skills to thrive in the new gaokao and beyond.。

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 under50%. 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 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 FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. 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.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was“not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！At mile3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36. A month before the marathon, the author____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. Lost hope37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.38. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.39. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B.

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well —Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eye rolled back,”Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,”says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,”Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,”Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”56.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B. She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice57.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B. She recovered from shock.C. She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.58.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous.D.Ambitious and professional.CHRONOLOGICA——The Unbelievable Years that Defined HistoryDID YOU KNOW…In 105 AD paper was invented in China?When Columbus discovered the New World?The British Museum opened in 1759?CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time, from thefoundation of Rome to the creation of the internet.

You freeze in horrors and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send”too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, zx@xk especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names). Clicking “reply all”unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all”to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity toclear up any difficulties you may have with this person.36. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. awfulD. funny37. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. apologize in a serious mannerB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctlyD. send a short notice to everyone38. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all”email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement.C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.39. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By talking to the receiver face to face.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents.D. Improving email writing.【2017浙江卷】ABenjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days , a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged （蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr.Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.

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 under50%. 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 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 FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. 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.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was“not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！At mile3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36. A month before the marathon, the author____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. Lost hope37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.38. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.39. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.【天津卷】AFire Prevention InformationThe University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals.

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority.I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter。
“I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story。
” He laughed，“You'll giv e me a quarter for my story？” I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself –“Nah，here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection.I sat down next to him and waited.“I was in the army,” he said. “I was a sniper（狙击手）and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance." I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap。
He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed。

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 under50%. 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 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 FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. 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.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was“not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！At mile3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36.
