1、1阅读理解-推理判断一1、 In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a centurymost experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its ea
2、rly stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. 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
3、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
4、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
5、 the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. Its partly true that Dickens style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. Its partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But its also that h
6、e 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 distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible and important for our own cultureto understand how he
7、made himself a lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?2A.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.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text
8、to stress_.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the authors 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 Victo
9、rian age.2、 Daniel Hernandez always wanted to help people. Before hed even graduated from high school, he trained to be a certified nursing assistant and volunteered at a nursing home. He then decided to work in public service. In his junior year at the University of Arizona, he majored in political
10、 science and began volunteering in political activities.One of his heroes was Gabrielle Giffords. When picked for an internship(实习期) with her, he gladly gave up a part-time sales job. So eager was he that he started work four days early. On Saturday morning, January 8, he arrived at La Toscana Villa
11、ge market north of Tucson and began setting up tables in front of a Safeway store where 30 or so people were gathering to meet Giffords.At 10: 10 a. m.,Hernandez heard loud sounds. “Gun!” someone shouted. He heard people screaming, saw them falling to the ground. Hernandez was standing 30 feet away
12、from Giffords when she fell down. In seconds, he was at her side. Everywhere around him was chaos, but Hernandez willed himself to remain calm.3Giffords was lying on the sidewalk; blood was streaming down her face from a bullet wound on her head. Gently, Hernandez lifted her into a sitting position
13、against his shoulder. Then, with his hand, he applied pressure to the wound on her forehead to prevent the flow of blood. He calmed her and told her all would be well.Minutes later, ambulances arrived on the scene. Still Hernandez stayed with Giffords, holding her hand and talking. “I just made sure
14、 she knew she wasnt alone,” he says. “When I told her Id contact her husband Mark, she squeezed my hand hard.”Nineteen people fell victim to a crazy man that day. Giffords, though wounded, survived in no small part because of Hernandezs quick actions. Hernandez did a heroic thing. Though he doesnt t
15、hink so, the people of Tucson and the nation are grateful that Daniel Hernandez was there at that key moment, four days earlier than he was supposed to be.1.Where did Daniel Hernandez ever volunteer before the accident?A.At the University of Arizona.B.At a store for a product.C.At a nursing home.D.A
16、t his high school.2.Why did Hernandez stay with Gabrielle Giffords as soon as possible?A.Gabrielle Giffords was his hero.B.He worked as a security guards.C.He knew Gabrielle Giffords was in danger.D.He knew how to treat her wound.3.According to the last paragraph, to the people of Tucson, Gabrielle
17、Giffords _.A.worked hard at the Safeway storeB.was one of Daniel Hernandezs friendsC.did a really heroic thing that dayD.was lucky to survive the accident43、 Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good a
18、t what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Broo
19、ks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of characte
20、r? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent? To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科).Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunat
21、e, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as the
22、y begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoy
23、ed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.1
24、.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.5A.illustrate where science can be appliedB.demonstrate the value of Brookss new bookC.remind the reader of the importance of scienceD.explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which
