第二节短文理解阅读下面的短文,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。
A
On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist…Will Be Remembered by the People…”
The headline was not overstating （夸大）the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations（改编版本）of Dickens' works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor（文学教投）who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects（情感效果）among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the "little man" at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th-century novelists wrote entertaining（娱乐的）works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 150th year of Dickens' death. It's another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or re-read some of his famous works?
26. What is Paragraph（段落）2 mainly about?
A. Personality of Dickens.
B. Appearance of Dickens.
C. Popularity of Dickens.
27. As a novelist, why has Dickens remained so popular?
A. He wrote for fun.
B. He wrote from his heart.
C. He mainly wrote for the upper class.
28. When people read Dickens novels, they could ________.
①meet the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK
②know about the social reality at that time
③not be influenced by the works at all
④think about how to make a difference to their society
A. ①②③
B. ②③④
C. ①②④
29. What does the underlined word "inequality" mean in Paragraph 4?
A. 不平等
B. 不现实
C. 不稳定
30. The purpose of writing this text is probably to ________.
A. introduce Charles Dickens' life and death
B. encourage readers to read or re-read Charles Dickens' works
C. present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writers
B
Have you ever seen a solar panel（太阳能电池板）in your neighborhood? Solar panels take
energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels
has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power（给……供电）their homes.
However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time?
Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls（滚动）down, it creates friction（摩擦力）on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity.
Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”
The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan
is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible, . which are as soft as clothing.
The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels（液体和气体燃料）.
31. Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world?
A. Solar energy.
B. Water energy.
C. Wind energy.
32. What is one of the problems of common solar panels?
A. The price of them is rising.
B. They can’t work all of the time.
C. They can hardly power people’s homes.
33Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful?
A. It has a larger size than a common one.
B. It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy.
C. It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions.
34. What does the underlined word “flexible” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. 柔软的
B. 光滑的
C. 坚硬的
35. We can infer（推断）from this text that ________.
A. there is no room for developing solar energy
B. there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy
C. solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy

Mark Twain once said, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. " The famous writer talked about a problem many of us have. The problem is procrastination（拖延症）.

第四节阅读表达
阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, is a must-have during holidays in Northern China. It dates back to ancient times.
Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Since jiaozi is in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots（银锭）, it symbolizes wealth（象征着财富）. Traditionally, the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year's Eve. They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings. The person who finds the coin will be likely to have good luck. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi in the hope of having a good future in the coming new year.
Based on your taste, you can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different fillings. There is no set rule as to what makes dumpling fillings. They can be anything from vegetables, meat or seafood. Whatever the fillings are, the wrapping（包）skill needs to be exquisite（精美的）to make jiaozi good-looking.
As China is a country with a vast territory（幅员辽阔）, there are differences in different areas in ways of making jiaozi or even serving it. For example, dumpling wrappers are made with
.
a rolling stick in Beijing and Hebei province, while in some parts of Inner Mongolia, wrappers are hand-pressed.
40. When did Chinese people probably begin to have jiaozi?
41. What does jiaozi symbolize?
42. Why do people choose to eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve?
43. Do people need to follow set rules to make dumpling fillings?
44How are dumpling wrappers made in some parts of Inner Mongolia?

Lots of young people have never experienced home-life. Meals are cooked and clothes are washed as if by magic! 1.我们知道很多孩子不会洗衣做饭。They don't clean the floor, make the bed or slice（切）the meat. Yes, they have homework but often no housework. But how are you ever going to learn the practical skills you will need in later life if everything is done for you?
A change is coming. 2. In China, schools are now thinking about teaching life skills as a subject. We all need to prepare for real life, especially the housework. 3.我父母拥有这些技能,但他们却忘记教我了。At university, I had to learn to shop, prepare my food and cook meals. I wish my parents or my teachers had taught me all of them before! Now, I feel very confident （信心）in running a home. I especially enjoy cooking.
4. Some people might say you can order food or book services online. In fact, good life skills will make you a better student, a better workmate and a better family member in your life. Making a meal needs good planning, skillful cooking, control of temperature and a good nose! It makes you smarter!
All this needs to start early. 5.If you don't have practical life skills, your education will be incomplete. One day, you will wonder why you have no clean socks, and why some of your best friends can cook a delicious meal but you cannot!
