24、ldren in need of love. “Children, Little Children“ is an honest book, showing great concern and dissatisfaction with the care for children.The difficult trick of living inside another persons mind and being able to put your reader inside that same mind, is a capability held only by writers of except
25、ional skill and talent. Mr. Drake has approached the problem by making a 10-year-old boy his central character. The boy does not for a moment come across as a real child. Irresponsible parents abandoned him, his grandfather disliked him, he took everything literally, and begged everyone for love. Br
26、et is being used to make a point. His ideas are too poetic, his response too direct, and the contrasts of good and evil too simplistic for real life. He is being manipulated by someone behind the scenery trying to tell us something.For fifteen years the author has been dealing with people with psych
27、ological trouble at the V. I. T. Neuropsychiatric Institute. He has actively been involved in this field at other institutions for a quarter of a century. This book is a form of acting out, through the character, Bret, the pain of a rejected child. If one understands the book in those terms, one may
28、 be willing to believe the imaginary story. If viewed in this light, the exaggerated movements and reactions of the characters became less unbelievable and therefore more meaningful. The excessively poetic passages of description and emotion, seen as stage flats made more colorful than nature in ord
29、er to look real from afar, are acceptable in a drama whereas they are irritating in a novel. The one-sided characterizations-insane father, immature mother, mean old grandmother, selfish aunt, cruel neighbors, and totally misunderstood Bretare figures moving across a lit stage to dramatize a message
30、. The true-to-life ending, without resolution or growth or development, might work on a stage, however, it is contrary to everything a novel should do.Calling the book a novel is the publishers mistake, the work is more nearly a drama. Perhaps it is one of Mr. Drakes psychodramas in print and should
31、 so be judged.（分数：5.00）(1).The author of the passage feels that _.A. Mr. Drakes character, Bret, is too unrealisticB. the central character should not be manipulatedC. the message conveyed by the characterization is importantD. Mr. Drake is not good at writing novels（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It seems tha
32、t _.A. Bret isnt created for the stageB. Bret is surrounded by a hostile environmentC. Bret is too simple-minded to be liked by anyoneD. Bret himself is indifferent to his environment（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Mr. Drake _.A. is using his book to send a message to peopleB. does not like his character himse
33、lfC. does not have a pleasant experience as a childD. is too impersonal in writing the story（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What doe Drake want to achieve with his book?A. To make the pain of a rejected child known.B. To describe the miserable living conditions of orphans.C. To illustrate the fact that a drama
34、 can be more effective than a novel.D. To call for the simplicity of life.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).This passage is most likely to be _.A. a drama reviewB. a novel reviewC. a comment on lack of parental love or childrenD. a comment on story-writing styles（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)That ex
35、perience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, in 1999, he used his research for the book to create a web site. The site is M. The name is spelled m-o-n-g-a-b-a-y.Rhett Butler named the site for Nosy Manga
36、be, an island off Madagascar. His purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject widened. A former businessman, he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.The popularity of M attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mon
37、gabay has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children, . Another one, WildMadagascar.org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.He travels the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and
38、sometimes diving equipment.He often calls on experts for information for stories. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top expert on ring-tailed lemurs. And last week he wrote about another animal, the rare snow leopard. He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a biologist who established the Snow Leop
39、ard Conservancy.Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers, students and teachers. In April, T named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment web sites.Rhett Butler says he is concerned about how the current economic crisis in the world might affe
40、ct environmental conservation efforts. For example, he says the falling price of oil could reduce interest in developing solar power. But he also points to a recent United Nations report on “green jobs“. The report said efforts to fight climate change might lead to millions of jobs in biofuels by tw

44、known English class system. This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid. But it still exists below the surface. Broadly speaking, it means there
45、are two classes, the “middle class“ and the “working class“. (We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class“, including the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising i
46、nterest in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of well to do businessmen and professional people of all kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle class people use slightly varying k
47、inds of “received pronunciation“ which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils. Typical working class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social equality in Englan
48、d is the two class education system. To have been to a so called “public school“ immediately marks you out as one of the middle class. The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working class people, and are usually more cultured. Their midday meal is “lunch“ and they have a rather formal evening meal called “dinner“, whereas the working mans dinner, if his working hours permit, is at mid-day, and his smaller, late evening meal is called supper.As we have s
