People had been writing novels
2、 for a century most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, ofte
3、n with something like “ By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad. In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and t
4、heir readership and whose characters from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim were held up as moral touchstones. 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
5、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 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It s partly true tha
6、t 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 at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, en
7、ergy and luck made Dickens such a singular 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 diffic
8、ult to understand. B. They were popular among the rich. C. They were seen as nearly worthless. 精品学习网 中国最大的综合教育门户网站 第 2 页 http:/ 精品学习网 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.
9、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 Steven Stein likes to follow garbage truc
10、ks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic s
11、hopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台 ) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these _
12、, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produ
13、ce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and
14、the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. 精品学习网 中国最大的综合教育门户网站 第 3 页 http:/ 精品学习网 Environmentalists dont dispute（质疑） thes
15、e points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. 24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material. C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags. 25.
16、 What does the word “ headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development. C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees. 26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers? A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing the
17、m can be difficult. C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control C 精品学习网 中国最大的综合教育门户网站 第
18、 4 页 http:/ 精品学习网 As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线） on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month.

19、ld build fifteen million of them. Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel.

20、 going forward at high speed to find new worlds.

21、 a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power. The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America
22、the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
