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 Day unthinkable 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，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward 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”【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了狄更斯对整个世界的影响。4The article is mainly about A. a brief introduction to Charles DickensBCharles Dickens impact on the worldCthe characters in Charles Dickens storiesDCharles Dickens achievements in literatureB主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是狄更斯对整个世界的影响，故选B。5Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”？A. Because 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.C细节理解题。由第五段中的“In his classic novel，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas，but also painted a picture of glowing warmth home enjoyments，affections and hopes”以及第六段中“Dickens can be said to have almost singlehandedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”可知答案为C。6We can learn from the passage that A. Charles 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 povertyA细节理解题。由第七段中的“Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.”可知选A。7. According to the passage the underlined phrase “red tape”refers to A. rules 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 proceduresD词义猜测题。由倒数第二段描述可知，red tape反映的是在很多国家的官方机构里的那种复杂并浪费时间的“官僚作风”。CThere are several reasons why cats climb trees，mostly to do with defensive purposes.Cats，as predators(捕食者)，like to understand their environment well.Cats climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings，to help them see any potential dangers or potential prey (被捕食的动物)While cats are predators，they can also be easily attacked by larger animals.A tree often provides a safe hiding place.In the wild，cats climb up trees to give them a resting place that is out of predators range.It also helps disguise their presence，which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.Sometimes some cats may climb trees for fun，or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities.Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up everything，from bookcases to trees to a persons leg.Climbing practice is good for cats；it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture，however，owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down，the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cats claws curve(弯曲) inward，allowing it to take hold of surfaces while going up head first.Unfortunately，this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.Eventually，most trapped kittens will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first.Either way，a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured；they are intelligent animals and will find out how to get down sooner or later.【语篇解读】本文为说明文。猫儿为什么总喜爱爬树呢？本文对此进行了分析。8In most cases，cats climb trees in order to Ahave funBseek foodCdefend themselvesDplease their ownersC细节理解题。由第一段首句“.mostly to do with defensive purposes”可知，大多数情况下，猫儿爬树是出于自卫。9What does the underlined word “disguise”in Paragraph 2 mean?AFind out.BFocus on.CMake clear.DCover up.D词义猜测题。由画线词之后的“prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby”可知，disguise意为“伪装；掩盖”。10Why do people want to buy carpeted cat trees?ATo train their cats in climbing.BTo help protect their furniture.CTo improve their cats claw skills.DTo keep their cats warm in winter.B细节理解题。由第三段“To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture，however，owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.”可知，购买“a carpeted cat tree”是为了防止猫儿在家具上攀爬。11Seeing your cat up a tree，you are supposed to Ajust take it easyBlead it down slowlyCfeed some food to it at onceDkeep an eye on it all the timeA推理判断题。由最后一段“Either way，a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured”可知，猫儿爬树是很自然的事情，没有必要担心。DHow many times a day do you check your email？When you wake up？Before bed？A dozen limes in between？The technology that was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time.The average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices，with an additional hour just textmessaging friends.The advantage of technological devices is connectedness.Email lets us respond on the go，and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history.But is it possible that were lonelier than ever，too？Thats what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book，Alone Together，which clearly describes our changing relationship with technology.For Turkle，the biggest worry is the effect the weak connections have on our development.Technology isnt offering us the lives we want to live.“Were texting people at a distance” says Turkle.“Were using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when were alone，we feel together.And then when were with each other，we put ourselves in situations where we are alonealways on our mobile devices.Its what I call a perfect storm of confusion about whats important in our human connections.”Moreover，communicating online is not equal to facetoface communication.Online，you can ignore others feelings.In a text message，you can avoid eye contact.A number of studies have found that this generation of young people is less sympathetic (有同情心的) than ever.“That doesnt lead to disaster，” says Turkle，“but the disadvantages still cannot be ignored.”【语篇解读】本文主要讲了科技在给人们带来方便的同时，也带来了许多不利因素。12From the first paragraph we can learn that AEmail checking helps people wake up earlyBPeople communicate mainly by textmessaging nowCTechnological device production has been simplifiedDUsing technological devices costs young men much timeD推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“The average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices，with an additional hour just textmessaging friends.”可推断出，使用技术设备花费青少年很多时间。所以选D。13What is Sherry Turkles biggest worry?ATechnology may make human connections confusing.BTechnology cant help people remove loneliness.CTechnology may make peoples lives hard.DTechnology keeps people together.A细节理解题。根据第三段“Its what I call a perfect storm of confusion about whats important in our human connections.”可知Sherry Turkle最大的担心是技术可能会让人类的联系混乱。所以选A。14What is the authors attitude towards the influence of technology on peoples life?APositive.BNegative.CHopeless.DUncertain.B推理判断题。根据“Moreover，communicating online is not equal to facetoface communication.Online，you can ignore others feelings.In a text message，you can avoid eye contact.A number of studies have found that this generation of young people is less sympathetic(有同情心的)than ever.That doesnt lead to disaster，says Turkle，but the disadvantages still cannot be ignored.”可判断出作者对科学技术对人类生活的影响持否定态度，所以选B。15What is the passage mainly about?ATechnology brings many conveniences to peoples lives.BYoung men spend too much time on technological devices.CTechnology also brings people some disadvantages.DSherry Turkle observes peoples changing relationship with technology.C主旨大意题。本文主要讲了技术在给人们带来方便的同时，也带来了许多不利因素，所以这篇文章的主旨是C。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Time is the most
