His father ran heavily into debt a
11、nd when he was twelve, he had 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 worke
12、d as a reporter in the law courts, 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 gr
13、eat observer of people and their 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, expos
14、ing the injustice(不公平) and inhumanity（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.D
15、ickens criticized capitalist 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. Dickens only received a little formal education because _.A. he wanted to teach himself
16、.B. he wanted to work and made a lot of money. C. he was too poor to afford any more formal education.D. he wanted some working experiences to be a novelist.22. According to Dickens, the society at his time in England was _.A. equal B. poor C. comfortable D. unsatisfying23. Which of the following no
17、vel made Dickens the most popular 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 pe
18、ople its important to have a 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 t
19、hey are kind and friendly to 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 th
20、e taste.”In one of their experiments, 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 we
21、re nicer.In their another experiment, 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
22、 clean up their city, visit 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
23、 underlined word “it” refers to _.A. the sweet food B. the eating habitC. the American team D. the English saying25. According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people _.A. overweight B. excited C. relaxed D. friendly26. It can be learnt from the passage that _.A. scientists asked c
24、ollege students questions about their future.B. scientists told college students not to eat sweet food.C. people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others.D. peoples character has nothing to do with their taste.CCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jac
25、kson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 percent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 percent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scie
26、ntists have changed the colour 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 pig
27、ment cell determines skin colour.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 hu
28、man and zebrafish genes.Humans 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 vi
29、tamin D. So the related gene 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
30、also could lead to research 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
31、 change skin colour safely.C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked.D. people can not change their skin colour without any pain. 28. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. nowadays people who want to change their skin colour have to suffer a lot from the damage ca
32、used by the chemical treatment.B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene.C. the new discovery could not help to find medical treatments for skin cancer.D. there are two kinds of genes.29. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _.A. find the different genes of
33、humans.B. prove the humans skin colour is determined by the pigment gene.C. find out the reason why the Africans skin colour is dark.D. find out the ways of changing peoples skin colour.30. The writers attitude towards the discovery is _.A. neutral(中立的) B. negative C. positive D. indifferent第二节 （共5小
