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 to 1901; 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 al 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 Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.‎ Tigers ‎    All six tiger species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.‎ Ground squirrels ‎    That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.‎ Giraffes ‎    The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.‎ Asian elephants ‎    The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.‎ ‎24. Why is the population of tigers becoming smaller?‎ A. People hunt illegally and destroy their living spots.‎ B. It is difficult for tigers to fit in with their environment.‎ C. The forests are not suitable for their living.‎ D. The tigers are a threat to the residents nearby.‎ ‎25. What’s the main reason why some animals are in danger according to the passage?‎ A. Climate changes.‎ B. Human activities.‎ C. Lack of food.‎ D. Serious pollution.‎ ‎26. The tails of ________ are regarded as status symbols in Africa.‎ A. tigers’‎ B. ground squirrels’‎ C. giraffes’‎ D. Asian elephants’‎ ‎27. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. The giraffe population has increased greatly in the last 30 years.‎ B. The number of squirrels is between 124000 and 4130000.‎ C. Elephants in Myanmar are completely caught and even killed.‎ D. The present situation of endangered animals is worrying.‎ C On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.‎ The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.‎ Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim（认领）it soon.”‎ After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket（彩票）,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.‎ The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition （学费）and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”‎ Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.‎ ‎28.What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?‎ A. He walked around the New York railway station.‎ B. He waited for the train to Vienna.‎ C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna.‎ D. He played the violin to make some money.‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper?‎ A. The hat belonged to George Sang.‎ B. The young artist needed George Sang’s advice.‎ C. George Sang had lost something important.‎ D. The young artist wanted some money from George Sang.‎ ‎30.  From this article, we can learn that ______.‎ A. being honest is very important to us B. playing the violin can make you honest C. it’s acceptable to keep the lottery if you find one D. we should share something valuable with others ‎ D Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work and in love.‎ But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (For  example, you may fail to land a new job, but another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That’s ‎ bitter reality.‎ Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists(悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”‎ So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a backup plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, and “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”‎ There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.‎ ‎31.What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A book that has recently been published.‎ B. The dangers of being too optimistic.‎ C. How to become successful in life.‎ D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.‎ ‎32.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.‎ A. the final outcome               ‎ B. people’s motivation C. their low opinion               ‎ D. their performance ‎33.The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science.” in Paragraph 4 means ________.‎ A. the cost is not so high B. there is no real proof C. it’s not a dangerous thing to do D. it is quite simple to understand ‎34. The writer would probably describe himself as________.‎ A. an optimist                ‎ B. a scientist C. a defeatist                     ‎ D. a realist ‎35. Which of the following English expressions would be a defensive pessimist believe?‎ A. Every cloud has a silver lining.‎ B. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.‎ C. Whatever will be, will be.‎ D. The glass is half full not half empty.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。‎ Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution? Very small pieces of plastic, called microfibers, are polluting rivers and oceans.（36） ______ Clothes worn for outdoor activities and exercise are often made of artificial material, which is useful in keeping warm. But they contain very small plastic fibers, which may also be harming the environment when you wash them. When people wash these clothes, very small pieces go down the drain （下水道） with the wash water．  （37） ______  Pollution caused by plastic is not new，but recent studies have shown the effect of microfibers in the environment．  Studies show very small microfibers are ending up in our waters，which may come from waste water treatment factories．A 2015 study found them in fish from California．  Microfibers, effect on food supplies．  Beyond the waterways，the researchers say microfibers may end up in soil and agricultural lands．（38） ______This means there is much to be learned about microfibers and the environment．Some studies have shown that microfibers end up inside sea animals，like oysters．（39） ______ Researchers say that the fibers tend not to move into the tissue of the ‎ fish，but it needs more study．  Steps to save or keep microfibers from the environment．  Until more information becomes known，there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfibers in the environment．People should use less of the artificial materials．If we already have those in our lives and we're using them，an important step would be washing them less． （40） ______ A bag is being designed in which to wash these clothes．It traps the microfibers in the bag and it may be available for purchase soon．  A．New technology may also help．  B．Studies on microfibers in the environment．  C．They can also move around the atmosphere．  D．Studies on how much of the microfibers is released．  E．The source of these microfibers may surprise you: your clothes．  F．Washing machines keep microfibers from escaping with wash water．  G . So if these microfibers have been found in fish and seafood, are they safe to eat?‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎“Always” and “never”, two words opposite in meaning, tend to characterize the vocabulary of black and white thinkers. Black and white thinking means seeing the world in terms of _  41  _. If things aren’t _42__, then black and white thinkers feel terrible. What a _43__ way to live!
