He created a fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings” the wellknown trilogy (三部曲)．‎ Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England. Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old, and participated in the First World War. During the war, Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of World War Ⅰ. It was the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first.‎ After the war, Tolkien became a linguist. He was an editor of the “New English Dictionary” of 1918－1920. However, he was more researching into AngloSaxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the Nordic spread all over the folklore and mythology.‎ In 1937, Tolkien completed his first work “The Hobbit”. Although this was a fairy tale, it was also suitable for adults to read. Because of good sales, the publisher Allen & Unwin convinced Tolkien to write its sequel. This encouraged Tolkien to complete his most famous works the epic (史诗) trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”. The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.‎ At the beginning “The Lord of the Rings” was similar works for children, but after that writing style quickly became serious and dark. “The Lord of the Rings” was one of ‎ the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers' evaluation. Tolkien's influence is important, for the success of “The Lord of the Rings” makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre (体裁) develop rapidly.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇人物传记，介绍了《指环王》的作者瑞尔·托尔金生平。他早年丧父，后来参加了第一次世界大战。战时患上“战壕热”，在医院期间他开始了他的写作生涯。‎ ‎4．When did Tolkien take part in World War Ⅰ？‎ A．1896.　　　　　　　　　　　B．1915.‎ C．1916.

She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.‎ Four years later, Swift has become a multiawards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard ‎ magazine's woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the fivetime platinum (白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.‎ ‎“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles，” said Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director. “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”‎ Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You Belong With Me and White Horse.‎ Not surprisingly, the 6time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak Now World Tour in support of her third album, and now she's getting ready to go further.‎ According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.‎ ‎“They're sad if I'm being honest，” Swift told The New Yorker. “They're about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You're not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了泰勒·斯威夫特—— 一个非常有音乐天赋的女孩，获得了众多奖项。尽管年纪轻轻，但是她在音乐上所取得的一系列成就震撼了整个乐坛，成为激励艺人及年轻女性的楷模。‎ ‎8．As a newcomer in the shown business, Taylor Swift was considered to be ________.‎ A．a skilled songwriter　　 B．an outstanding artist C．an energetic director D．a promising talent 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段尤其是第二段最后一句可知，泰勒·斯威夫特第一次走进观众视野时就展现出了过人的才华。故选D。‎ ‎9．The underlined word “consummate” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “________”．‎ A．confident B．professional C．excellent D．different 解析：选C　词义猜测题。联系上下文并结合语境可知，美国乡村音乐歌手泰勒·斯威夫特年纪轻轻就已成为国际巨星，她在乐坛的表现可谓成绩斐然。由此可知，画线词应意为“杰出的，极好的”，excellent的意思与之最接近。故选C。‎ ‎10．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．Speak Now is Taylor Swift's third album.‎ B．Fearless marked the beginning of Swift's career.‎ C．Swift's new album is about feelings of grownups.‎ D．Swift has gained Billboard magazine's woman twice.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，Speak Now是泰勒·斯威夫特的第三张专辑，故A项正确。‎ ‎11．This passage is mainly about “________”．‎ A．A Rising Music Genius B．Taylor's Heartbreaks in Growth C．An Interview with Taylor Swift D．Billboard Music Awards in America 解析：选A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了尽管泰勒·斯威夫特年纪轻轻，但是她在音乐上所取得的一系列成就震撼了整个乐坛，成为激励艺人及年轻女性的楷模。故A项“一个冉冉升起的音乐天才”符合文章大意。‎ D ‎(2017·河南省六市第一次联考)Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and could not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.‎ Beethoven's music teacher said about him, “As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless.” What if this young boy had believed it?‎ When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, “I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class ... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.” What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him?‎ When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, “I have an idiot (白痴) for a son.” His uncle agreed. “He's_uneducable，” he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?‎ Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “You can't sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.‎ What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, “It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts.”‎ You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章列举了爱因斯坦、贝多芬、爱迪生等七个名人成功的故事，他们都曾得到别人较低的评价，但最终成功实现了自己的梦想；“相信自己”是他们成功的关键。‎ ‎12．How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?‎ A．Six.
