11、d to go and work in a factory for making boot polish. The only formal education he received was a two-year schooling at a school for poor children. In fact, he had to teach himself all he knew. He worked for a time as junior clerk in a lawyers office. After that, he worked as a reporter in the law c
12、ourts, and later in parliament(议会), for London newspapers. His career as a writer of fiction began in 1833 with short stories and essays in periodicals(期刊), and in 1837 his comic novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England.He was a great observer of people and t
13、heir places because he was attracted by life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a realistic picture of all classes of England society, showing deep sympathy for the poor and unfortunate, exposing the injustice(不公平) and i
14、nhumanity（无人性） of the bourgeoisie(资产阶级).Many of his novels like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago.Dickens criticized capitalist
15、 society from the point of view of bourgeois humanism. He wished to see improvement in the living conditions of the poor, but failed to find any effective means to achieve that end.21.

17、pular writer at his time in England?A. Oliver Twist B. The Pickwick PapersC. Great Expectations D. A Tale of Two CitiesBThere is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people its important to have a
18、 good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.“When we say some people sweet, we mean they are kind and friendly to
19、 us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about peoples feelings and acts.” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someones character and behavior depending on the taste.”In one of their exp
20、eriments, college students were asked questions about their character-whether, for example, they are soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another ex
21、periment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips werent. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit
22、sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of the experiments is that peoples helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.24. The underlined word “it” refers
23、 to _.A. the sweet food B. the eating habitC. the American team D. the English saying25.

The other is found in 93 to 100 percent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colo
26、ur of a dark-striped zebrafish(斑马鱼) to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin co
27、lour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Huma
28、ns acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes(纬度), they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene
29、 changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research
30、into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.27. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. scientists have found out that peoples skin colour is determined by the gene.B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin colour safely.C
31、. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked.D. people can not change their skin colour without any pain. 28.
