24、15小题，每小题2分，共30分）A The success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular. He suddenly found himself at twenty-four the most famous novelist of his day. Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time-Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers. He was particularly proud of Pickwick Pape
25、rs, which was a huge success and was regarded as a comic (喜剧) masterpiece (杰作). If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am proud of Pickwick Papers, he said. It has been said of Dickens that he grasped (抓住) the imagination of his rea
26、ders because his imagination grasped himself. The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry. When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer (做坏事的人), had been hanged. Dickens marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine childre
27、n, ended unhappily in 1858. He started to travel about giving readings of his works. His interest in theater gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage. A tiring trip to the United States affected his health. On June 9th, 1870, when he was working on a new n
28、ovel, he died. Dickens had always wanted to die of working. 56. Dickens became a famous novelist _. A. because his social workB. with the success of Pickwick Papers C. because he was writing two novels at the same time D. when he began to give readings of his works 57. According to this passage, we
29、know that Dickens _.A. was only interested in writing novels B. didnt like Oliver Twist C. wished to live one hundred years and write three novels in eachD. didnt think he could write a better novel than Pickwick Papers in his life 58. As a novelist, Dickens _. A. was full of imagination B. found it
30、 hard to satisfy his readers C. always wrote about real people in life D. wrote works according to his readers imagination 59. Fagin must be _.

31、kens had a happy marriage to Catherine Hagarth. B. Dickens was a successful actor. C. Dickens death had little to do with his hard work. D. Dickens had wished to die in the course of his work. BEducation is not an end，but a means to an endIn other words，we do not educate children only for the purpos
32、e of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for allone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nationBut we can already see that free education for all is not enoughWe find i
33、n such countries a far larger number of people with university degreeThey refuse to do what they think “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is
34、far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no foodIf no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we should get terrible diseases in our towns In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it mean
35、s that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable
36、 to society61. The writer of the passage thinks that _ . A. education can settle most of the worlds problems B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world C. free education wont help to solve problems D. all the social problems cant be solved by education62.

The purpose of education is _ . A. to choose officials for the country B. to prepare children mainly for thei
38、r future life C. to prepare children for well-paid jobs D. to build a perfect world64.

39、t . A. system of education B. means of education C. value of education D. type of education CHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zo
40、os remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats（栖息地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim（声称）to educate people and save endangered species（物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learn
41、ed anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range（分布区）. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals
42、 natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A world-wide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces
43、 or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding（圈养
44、繁殖）of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven
45、t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats. 66. How would the author des
46、cribe the animals life in zoos?A. Dangerous. B. Unhappy. C. Natural. D. Easy. 67. In the state of zoochosis, animals_. A. remain in cages B. behave strangely C. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around68. What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B
47、. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. 69. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _. A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do B. using evidence he has collected at z
48、oosC. questioning the way animals are protected D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats70. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that_. A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages B. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced
49、 in zoosD. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsDWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most? This Christmas I was debating what to
50、give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes
51、fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those wor
52、ds would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the derails another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar All
53、an Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together t
54、o create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dads face as he unwr
