Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens legacy was far greater than just “great literature” 2012, February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of the writers birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Lets take a look at two of them.A White Christmas Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas”not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today. In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Dayunthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off. Many people believe that Dickens popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, AChristmasCarol, he not only putforward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote：“Dickens can be said to have almost singlehandedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”“Dickensian” poverty Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London. He helped popularize the term “red_tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy (官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”， but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”1The article is mainly about _.Aa brief introduction to Charles DickensBCharles Dickens impact on the worldCthe characters in Charles Dickens storiesDCharles Dickens achievements in literature答案：B主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是狄更斯对世界的影响，故选B。2Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”？ABecause he created both religious and cultural festival.BBecause his novels have something to do with Christmas.CBecause one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.DBecause he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.答案：C细节理解题。由第五段尾句“In his classic novel, AChristmasCarol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmthhome enjoyments, affections and hopes”以及第六段中的“Dickens can be said to have almost singlehandedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”可知答案为C。3We can learn from the passage that _.ACharles Dickens novels reflect the true life at his ageBDickensian is widely used to describe the ChristmasCevery person can take three days off for ChristmasDthe theme of Charles Dickens stories is about poverty答案：A细节理解题。由第七段“Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.”可知，他关注的是维多利亚时期伦敦下层阶级和穷人的现实生活，故选A。4According to the passage the underlined phrase “red tape” refers to _.Arules or regulations that are required to finish a taskBa situation where poor members of society are hurtCconflict between people in power and weaker peopleDpointlessly timeconsuming official procedures答案：D词义猜测题。由倒数第二段描述可知，red tape表示的是在很多国家的官方机构里的那种繁杂、毫无意义并浪费时间的“官僚作风”。1legacy n. 遗产2festive adj. 节日的；欢乐的put forward 提出七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is friendship?
