well.It tells the story of a young girl named Alice,who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland.She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense.The popularity of the book comes from its imagination,interesting story,and art work.The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll.In fact,Lewis Carroll was not the writers real name.His real name was Charles Dodgson.One day,he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family.To keep them entertained on the ride,he told them a story in which Alice,the middle child,was the main character.They enjoyed the story very much.Charles later wrote the story down under the name AlicesAdventuresUnderGround and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present.Later,he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald.George read it to his children and they loved it.George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story.Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words.It was first printed in 1866,with art work by John Tenniel,under the name AlicesAdventuresinWonderland.The book was an immediate success.One of its first fans was Queen Victoria.She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carrolls works.She was surprised to find that they included many works on math.In fact,Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician.This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.Since the story was first printed,it has kept selling up to the present day.It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it.The story was even mentioned in the popular 1999 film TheMatrix by the character Morpheus.21.The passage is mainly

of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年),was made up of three parts“The Fellowship of the Ring”,“Two Towers”,and “The Return of the King”.Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages,but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892.His parents died when he was a child.Living in England with his aunt,Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages,a hobby that led to Tolkiens becoming skilled in Welsh,Greek,Gothic,Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.After graduating from Oxford,Tolkien served in World War.In 1917,while recovering from trench fever,he began composing the mythology(神话)for TheRings.As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford,Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings,which included several writers.The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkiens imaginative work TheHobbit.Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class.The Hobbit live in hillside holes.One of them,Bilbo Baggins,looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒).On the way,he meets the twisted,pitiful creature Gollum,from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.One of Tolkiens students persuaded her employer,publisher Allen & Unwin,to look at a draft(草稿).The chairman of the firm,Stanley Unwin,thought that the best judge for a childrens book would be his ten-year-old son.The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting,and TheHobbit was published in 1937.It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation.Over a dozen years later,in 1954,Tolkien produced TheLordoftheRings,a series of books so creative that they hold readersnew and oldafter their publication.25.What can we learn from the text?A.TheLordoftheRings didnt sell well in the last millennium.B.People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.C.Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.D.Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.答案:C解析:推理判断题。由第一段第一句“TheLordoftheRings,oneofthebestsellersinthenewmillennium(千年).”可知A项错误;由第一段第二句“Millionsuponmillionsofpeoplehavereaditinover25differentlanguages,butfewerknowabouttheauthorandthehistoryofthecompositionofthecreativemasterwork.”可知B项错误;由第二段内容可知,Tolkien出生于南非,幼时父母双亡,与姨母住在英格兰,和表兄妹们一起玩耍的经历养成了他对Weish,Greek,Gothic,OldNorseandAnglo-Saxon的热爱,也使得他能够熟练掌握它们,所以Tolkien在英格兰长大,熟悉的不会是非洲本土语言,故选C项。26.Whatcanwelearnabout“Hobbit”thatTolkiencreatedinhisworks?A.HobbitwasaracelivinginEnglishdowntownareas.B.Hobbitwasalocalpeoplewhowereverytallandstrong.C.Hobbitwasasocialgroupofpeoplewholivedinoldcastles.D.Hobbitwasagroupofpeoplewhoweremostlydwarves.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由文章第四段“HobbitwasanameTolkiencreatedforlocalpeoplethatcouldbestbedescribedashalf-sizedmembersoftheEnglishrural(乡村的)class.TheHobbitliveinhillsideholes.”可知,A、B、C三项均不正确。由half-sized可推断,Hobbit中的大多数人是侏儒,故选D项。27.WhichofthefollowinghelpedmostinmakingTheHobbitpublished?A.OneofTolkiensstudents.B.StanleyUnwinsson.C.Allen&Unwin.D.BilboBaggins.答案:B解析:细节理解题。文章倒数第二段首句提到“OneofTolkiensstudentspersuadedheremployer,publisherAllen&Unwin,tolookatadraft”,后文又提到“Thechairmanofthefirm,StanleyUnwin,thoughtthatthebestjudgeforachildrensbookwouldbehisten-year-oldson.”可以推断,对于TheHobbit的出版起着决定作用的应该是StanleyUnwinsson,故选B项。28.Whatismainlydiscussedinthetext?A.TheLordoftheRingsanditswriter.B.Acompletelynewmasterworkinthenewmillennium.C.AfamousprofessoratOxfordUniversity.D.Thepowerofthemagicring.答案:A解析:主旨大意题。由第一段最后一句以及下文内容可知,本文主要介绍指环王及其作者的情况,故选A项。CChildrens literature is a natural way to learn new languages.My husband and I have recently published a series of bilingual(双语的) books for children entitled TheAdventuresofEnzo.These short stories are written to introduce children to new languages and cause them to acquire the simple values of life.The ability to speak more than one language is a real treasure in our society.We live in a dynamic and globalized world in which our children must be understood and accepted in whatever country they find themselves.They therefore must learn to understand the countrys language as well as its culture.As bilingual speakers,our children will discover a whole other world,that is,a wealth of knowledge that will enable them to be at home on our planet.We found childrens storybooks to be a natural way for children to develop their bilingual skills.It is clear that the younger children start learning other languages,the easier it is for them.Children become more open to the outside world,more expressive,and more adaptable in new contexts.Their minds are absorbing information in several languages at a time.Nevertheless,bilingual living sets up children for success in the future,and the delayed speech is quickly overcome by an insatiable(不能满足的) curiosity about the world.Childrens books evoke a childs imagination and creativity.The vocabulary is naturally repetitive,which makes easy the acquisition of new vocabulary.The readers can discover cultural differences in a safe context.Furthermore,childrens books are illustrated.These drawings help children to follow the story line and learn new vocabulary easily.Paragraphs are short to keep the children engaged.Not only do bilingual books for children allow them to learn a new language smoothly,these books can also remind the readers about what is important in life.Narratives can teach simple values,such as patience,forgiveness,and that we are all born under a star.Children thus keep their innocence.29.According to Paragraph 1,we know that .A.TheAdventuresofEnzo has been translated into another languageB.literature doesnt help children much in learning a new languageC.TheAdventuresofEnzo helps children learn a new languageD.the authors children speak more than one language答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知,作者和丈夫所写的TheAdventuresofEnzo系列能够让孩子们接触新语言,从而有助于他们的语言学习。30.Theunderlinedword“evoke”inthelastparagraphprobablymeans.A.reduceB.arouseC.hesitateD.bother答案:B解析:词义猜测题。联系最后一段中的具体说明可知,画线词所在句点明了这样的观点:儿童书籍能够“激发”孩子的想象力和创造力。31.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthistext?A.ANaturalWaytoLearnNewLanguages:ChildrensLiteratureB.OurSocietyNeedsUstoLearnaForeignLanguageC.TheReasonWhyIWriteBilingualBooksD.ChildrenandTheAdventuresofEnzoSeries答案:A解析:标题概括题。第一段第一句直接提出本文的论题:儿童文学是学习新语言的一种自然方法;第二段重点论述了能够讲两种语言的必要性;最后两段进一步论述为什么儿童文学特别适用于儿童学习新语言。综上可知,A项是最佳标题。DF.ScottFitzgerald(1896-1940),bornonSeptember24,1896,anAmericannovelist,wasonceastudentofSt.PaulAcademy,theNewmanSchoolandattendedPrincetonUniversityforashortwhile.In1917hejoinedthearmyandwaspostedinAlabama,wherehemethisfuturewifeZeldaSayre.Thenhehadtomakesomemoneytoimpressher.Hislifewithherwasfullofgreathappiness,ashewroteinhisdiary:“MyownhappinessinthepastoftenapproachedsuchjoythatIcouldnotshareitevenwiththepersondearesttomebuthadtowalkitawayinquietstreetsandtakedownpartsofitinmydiary.”ThisSideofParadise,hisfirstnovel,waspublishedin1920.Encouragedbyitssuccess,Fitzgeraldbegantodevotemoretimetohiswriting.ThenhecontinuedwiththenovelTheBeautifulandDamned(1922),acollectionofshortstoriesTalesoftheJazzAge(1922),andaplayTheVegetable(1923).ButhisgreatestsuccesswasthenovelTheGreatGatsby,publishedin1925,whichquicklybroughthimpraisefromtheliteraryworld.Yetitfailedtogivehimtheneededfinancialsecurity.Then,in1926,hepublishedanothercollectionofshortstoriesAlltheSadYoungMen.However,FitzgeraldsproblemswithhiswifeZeldaaffectedhiswriting.Duringthe1920shetriedtoreorderhislife,butfailed.By1930,hiswifehadherfirstbreakdownandwenttoaSwissclinic.DuringthisperiodhecompletednovelsTenderIstheNightin1934andTheLoveoftheLastTycoonin1940.WhilehiswifewasinhospitalintheUnitedStates,he
