Jane Austen ever popular
Last summer, the UK honored one of its favorite writers, Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), by making her the face of the new 10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen's fame has increased to global fame.
Yet Austen's works are so very English that it's rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age. Her most famous works — including Pride and Prejudice(《傲慢与偏见》) the one for which she is most known — are set in the world of the English gentry (上流社会人士) in the early 19th century.
Most of her fiction is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work, so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject, of course, but the joy of Austen’s stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching comedy out of something so serious.
Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. The main plot of the novel is driven by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, a wealthy man. At first, they don't get on. Elizabeth finds Darcy too proud; she feels he thinks he is better than everyone else. She thinks that he looks down upon her family in particular. Darcy, while admiring Elizabeth, believes that she has taken unfairly to him. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these difficulties are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.
If we think about this story, it's obvious why Jane Austen is still popular more than 200 years after her death, and why readers can still have the same feelings with characters from the long dead world of the 19th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.
1. It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that the author ________.
A. believes Jane Austen's works are ahead of her time
B. thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen's works
C. has doubts about Jane Austen's popularity all over the world
D. is surprised that Jane Austen's works are still so popular
2. According to the text, Pride and Prejudice __________.
A. has a sad and unexpected ending
B. deals with a serious social issue in a lighthearted way
C. centers on poor people's struggles in the early 19th century
D. tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work
3. We can learn from the text that Jane Austen remains popular today because _________.
A. readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy people
B. readers are attracted by the way people deal with difficulties in the stories
C. readers can always find something new from her novels
D. her works deal with problems many of today's readers still face
4. The text is mainly written to ________.
A. tell us why Jane Austen is chosen to be on the new 10 note
B. introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice
C. explain why Jane Austen is still popular today
D. introduce Jane Austen's creative writing style
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
How Can I Fight Laziness
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
①______ Many people always lack sleep, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more active method, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ②______
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that around them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. ③______ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. ④______ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may finally follow your example and perform their own tasks. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
⑤______ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
E. To fight family laziness, set an example.
F. Knowing how to fight laziness is essential.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

答案以及解析
一、填空题
1.答案:if/whether
解析:考查从属连词。句意:这个计划是否足够切实可行以使项目继续进行尚需拭目以待。分析句子结构可知,句中It为形式主语,设空处引导主语从句,且从句结构完整,不缺少任何成分,设空处有一定意义,表示“是否”,故填if或whether。
2.答案:for
解析:考查介词。句意:警察盘问了罪犯好几个小时,但仍无法查明他的犯罪动机。the motive for... ……的动机。
3.答案:novelists
解析:考查名词及其复数。句意:泰格特是澳大利亚最著名的小说家之一,我读过他的许多小说。根据空前的形容词最高级the most famous可知设空处应用名词,结合语境可知设空处表示“小说家”,应用名词novelist;由空前的one of可知此处应用可数名词的复数形式,“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”意为“最……的……之一”。故填novelists。
4.答案:as
解析:考查固定用法。句意:她是世界上公认的最优秀的诗人之一。acknowledge... as...意为“认为……是……”,此处使用的是其被动形式“be acknowledged as...”。
5.答案:to/with
解析:考查介词。句意:咖啡店前有一只可爱的狗,它和我的狗几乎一模一样。be identical to/with...意为“和……一模一样”。
6.答案:How
解析:句意:我们怎样理解事物与我们感觉到的东西有很大关系。分析句子结构可知,“_____ what we understand things”为主语从句,结合句意可知要用how。
7.答案:Whatever
解析:考查主语从句。句意:你的支持对我们的工作很重要。无论你能做什么对我们都有帮助。空处引导主语从句,且在从句中作宾语,表示"无论什么",故填Whatever。
8.答案:profoundly
解析:句意:童年发生的事深深地影响着我们。profoundly adv.深深地;深切地;深刻地;极度地。根据句子结构可知这里用副词作状语,修饰谓语动词are affected。
9.答案:in
解析:句意:她尽管脸像父亲,但其他方面一点也不像。resemble v.与……相似;像……,in other respects在其他方面。
10.答案:Motivation
解析:句意:动机和目标设定有两面性。motivation n.动机;动力;诱因。
二、阅读理解
答案:1-4.DBDC
解析:1.考查推理判断。根据"it's rather strange"以及"Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age"可知,作者认为Jane Austen的作品是非常英式的,具有她那个时代的特点,但是很奇怪在这个完全不同的年代她的作品依旧能在全世界继续流行,故从第二段得出的结论是作者很惊讶Jane Austen的作品仍然流行,故选D。
2.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"This is a very serious subject... comedy out of something so serious"以及第四段中的"The pleasure of the novel is... how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved"可知,作者认为《傲慢与偏见》以轻松的形式来处理严肃的社会问题,因此选B。
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段内容,尤其是最后一段中的"Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams"可知,Jane Austen的作品至今仍然流行的原因是尽管时代变了,但是寻求合适的伴侣仍然是人们生活中面临的最大挑战,而这个问题也是Jane Austen的作品探讨的问题。因此选D。
4.考查写作意图。文章开头先借Jane Austen的头像被用在英国新的10英锈钞票上这个新闻引出Jane Austen,接着第二段提出Jane Austen的作品在今天仍然广受欢迎,随后通过《傲慢与偏见》分析了她的作品吸引读者的地方,结尾升华表明她的作品所探讨的问题仍然是当今读者所关心的问题,以上均是对Jane Austen的作品如今仍然很流行的探讨,因此选C。
三、七选五
答案:①-⑤BDGEC
解析:①根据下文中的adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest可知设空处的内容是:克服懒惰的一个方法就是有充足的睡眠。故选B项。
②根据上文中的Others take a more active method, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.可知,懒惰常常出现在你无法掌控自己的生活的时候,故选D项。
③根据下文中的Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.可知,你需要为自己创造奖励制度,就像父母为孩子做的一样,故选G项。
④根据上文中的laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately和下文中的Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.可知,懒惰可能会传递给你的配偶或小孩,要发挥榜样作用,所以如果平时自己主动去干活,其他人也会去做自己的事情,故选E项。
⑤根据下文中的Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle可知,经常锻炼可以帮助你对抗懒惰,故选C项。
四、书面表达
Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese classics, I am more than excited because I am fairly a classical literature lover myself.
I recommend a well-known Chinese book titled Journey to the West to you. The book was written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century during Ming Dynasty, which tells a story about Priest Tang and his three animal followers with human characteristics. Seemingly stubborn, weak and incompetent, Priest Tang played an important role in keeping the team united and bringing out people's kindness and humanity. I will send this book to you by airmail tomorrow, so please pay attention to your package.
I am looking forward to your view of this book.
Yours,
Li Hua
