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 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 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. 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 number game, and the best of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today - 12 -‎ ‎ 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 distinguished 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 France B. his interest in modern art ‎ C. his success in publication D. his importance in literature ‎23. 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.‎ B ‎ Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.‎ ‎ Americans use more than 100 billion film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts （收银台）. The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring - 12 -‎ ‎ scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.‎ ‎ Among the bag makers’arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but required more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.‎ ‎ The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.‎ Environmentalists don’t dispute（质疑）these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.‎ ‎24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?‎ ‎ A. Help increase grocery sales B. Recycle the waste material.‎ ‎ C. Stop things falling off trucks D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.‎ ‎25. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Bans on plastic bags    B. Effects of city development ‎ C. Headaches caused by garbage   D. Plastic bags hung in trees.‎ ‎26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?‎ ‎ A. They are quite expensive B. Replacing them can be difficult ‎ C. They are less strong than plastic bags D. Producing them requires more energy ‎27. What is the best title for text?‎ ‎ A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment ‎ C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control C Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.‎ - 12 -‎ While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.‎ According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”‎ The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session had declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.‎ When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.‎ The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.‎ At the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take the chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.‎ ‎28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?‎ A. Children’s reading habits. B. Quality of children’s books.‎ C. Children’s after-class activities. D. Parent-child relationships.‎ ‎29. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?‎ A. In paragraph 2    B. In paragraph 3    C. In paragraph 4    D. In paragraph 5‎ ‎30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?‎ A. E-books are of poor quality. B. It could be a waste of time.‎ - 12 -‎ C. It may harm children’s health. D. E-readers are expensive.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!

I feel great to know that you can manage on your own when necessary. This ability gives you more freedom as well as tolerance. After moving abroad you have to start a totally new life. Setting in a new environment is a big challenge for you, but you have to keep in mind that it is only a small part of studying abroad, and experiences like these can help you build your character and understand the world better.‎ When I went abroad I knew that I had to find a job and learn to handle my finances myself. I did not have a choice. I had to manage on my own. I found a job as a mail carrier for the local newspaper. Not all my co-students were as lucky as me in finding a job right away. You have to keep in mind that besides working you have to attend lectures and do your homework. Carrying mail was not always an easy job, but thanks to it I got to know many nice people and saw the town and local people from a different view.‎ Besides looking for a job,I also had to find a place to live in and take care of everyday chores from cooking to doing the laundry. When you have only begun with your independent life, this can be quite a challenge. You don’t have experience, nor does anyone give a helping hand —— you’re on your own. So it might happen that the first potato you fry ending up darker than intended, but from that on you can - 12 -‎ ‎ only do better.‎ All the trials you go through increase your independence, teach you a lesson and give you a wonderful experience to manage in complicated situations in the future. Learning in a new environment and taking full responsibility for yourself make your time abroad quite extraordinary.‎ - 12 -‎ 东阳中学2018年10月高二英语阶段性检测答案 一、听力 ‎ ‎1-5 ABCBA 6-10 BCBBC 11-15 ABCCA 16-20 AABCC 二、阅读理解 ‎ ‎21.
