A
In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People
had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher,
famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.
How did Dickens get to the top For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a
numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half- dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.
21．Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century
A．They were difficult to understand.
B．They were popular among the rich.
C．They were seen as nearly worthless.
D．They were written mostly by women.
22．Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.
A．his reputation in France B．his interest in modern art
C．his success in publication D．his importance in literature
23．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To remember a great writer. B．To introduce an English novel.
C．To encourage studies on culture. D．To promote values of the Victorian age.
B
My parents had purchased an Island Packet 445 ten months prior, and the day to board this boat
had finally come. I was 11 years old and knew absolutely nothing about this cruising (海上航游) lifestyle my father had been speaking so highly of for the previous five years. The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn’t want to leave my home. My father was excited, my mother nervous, my brother disinterested, and I sullen. I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle.
The first three months on the boat had not been very easy. What my dad called an adjustment
period I called a nightmare. But, after three months of traveling, we had a lucky break. In La Paz, there was another cruising boat with a 13-year-old boy aboard. Two weeks later, Glen and I could be seen endlessly boogie boarding (趴板冲浪) the crashing waves to the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance.
One year later, we continued touring through the South Pacific. I was learning new skills and
learning how to work independently. I often took a five-hour watch during the dark hours of long passages. This was quite a bit of responsibility to hand over to a 13-year-old, especially considering I was in charge of adjusting sails as the conditions changed, and keeping an eye and ear out for any problems. Almost everybody in the cruising community treated me as an adult while still understanding I was a child, thereby giving me the flexibility to make childish mistakes.
As of this writing, my family has now been aboard for three years. We have plans to return to
Canada in 12 months and, similar to how I opposed moving onto the boat, I am now completely opposed to moving off it. I have so much fun and learn so many things on this boat that I can’t imagine ever returning “home”, a place I hardly even remember.
24．What does the underlined word “sullen” in the first paragraph probably mean
A．Upset. B．Calm. C．Confused. D．Astonished.
25．What made the author start to embrace the cruising idea
A．Overcoming the fear of nightmares.
B．Having fun with someone of his age.
C．Learning how to work independently.
D．Making a breakthrough in boarding skills.
26．Which of the following words can best describe the author
A．Stubborn but reliable. B．Childish but adaptable.
C．Inconsiderate but flexible. D．Dependent but responsible.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Benefits of the Cruising Lifestyle
B．First Day aboard Island Packet 445
C．What Motivates a Teenager to Change His Lifestyle
D．How a Young Sailor Learns to Love the Cruising Life
C
For anyone planning to fly to or from France in 2024, we’ve got a bit of inconvenient news — thousands of flights from four French airports are getting cancelled. It’s all because much of the air traffic control system hasn’t been updated since the 1970s.
The air traffic control systems in Paris’ main airports are well overdue for an upgrade. Though
the systems have received plenty of minor updates over the years, 2024 is the time for a huge improvement- it’s thought that around 80 percent of the system will need to be modernized.
Currently, workers still use an air traffic control process which was developed in the 1970s,
including using paper strips to represent incoming planes. Thankfully, ?1 billion is being invested into improving France’s air traffic control.
But that means there’ll be a large number of cancellations. According to BFM, it’s estimated
that around 16,500 flights to or from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle, Orly, Le Bourget and Beauvais airports won’t go ahead. The number of passengers that passed through Paris Airports in 2022 was almost 44 million. Paris’ Charles de Gaulle saw 26.1 million passengers, and Paris Orly saw 15.7
million passengers. For the coming improvement, airlines that operate at these airports have been
told to reduce their flight programme by 20 percent between March 9 and April 14. It’s during this period that the new system will be tested at Athis-Mons, France’s largest air traffic control centre.
Will your flight to France be impacted Well, it’s up to each airline which flights won’t run, but
it’s thought that long-distance routes will take priority. Air France has already cancelled some of theirs, notified passengers, and offered them same-day alternatives.
While this could mean that travelling through Paris is a faff (忙乱) in 2024, it’s estimated that
2.5 million flights pass through French airspace annually. With that much air traffic to control, it’d be good to have it all processed by something a bit more reliable than some pieces of paper.
28．What inconvenience will be caused in France according to the passage
A．Airlines will decrease their flights. B．A number of flights will be delayed.
C．Flights to France will be unavailable. D．The airports will be under reconstruction.
29．Why are the figures listed in paragraph 4
A．To illustrate the flight cancellations. B．To give examples of airport capacities.
C．To compare the numbers of passengers. D．To analyze the reasons for air traffic control.
30．What can happen to people travelling to France in 2024
A．They will be offered a discount.
B．They might reschedule their flights.
C．They will have to cancel their travel plans.
D．They can only book tickets for long-distance routes.
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．France’s largest air traffic control centre will be tested.
B．?l billion is being invested into modernizing four French airports.
C．France is cancelling flights for improving air traffic control system.
D．The number of passengers that pass through Paris’ airports will decrease.
D
Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. Key skill set for success is persistence
(毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following
325 American families over several years. And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers, "Padilla-Walker said.
"This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a child's life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style.
Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid，demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father； responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative
parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the
researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research.
32．What is special about the BYU professors' study
A．It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
B．It was based on a number of large families.
C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D．It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
33．What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A．Ignore their demands.
B．Make decisions for them.
C．Control their behaviors.
D．Explain the rules to them.
34．Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A．Single parents. B．Children aged from 11 to 14.
C．Authoritarian fathers. D．Mothers in two-parent homes.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers.
B．Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future.
C．Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father.
D．Family Relationship Influences School Performance.

If you wrestle with insomnia (失眠), you probably have been tempted to try anything that
promises better sleep. One thing that might sound a little strange but that has been known to work:
adding a weighted blanket to those bedcovers. 36 Alanna McGinn, founder and lead
sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site, says, “I’m an advocate of them because they can work so well.”
About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in the US. 37 But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from
time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
Just as swaddling (用襁褓裹住) babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel-good hormones. The weight — usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes
usually from plastic or glass beads (珠子) surrounded by filling. 38
A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce
anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. 39 A randomized controlled study in Sweden in
2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, anxiety or other metal disorders. Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.
40 “If you’re someone with circulatory conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues,
you should check with your doctor before using a weighted blanket,” adds McGinn.
A．No two blankets are the same.
B．Other studies tell a slightly different story.
C．Weighted blankets have become a sleep tool.
D．However, weighted blankets may not be effective for all individuals.
E．There are multiple weight options to meet individual comfort needs.
F．The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation.
G．Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults.

Dear Grandpa,
How are you those days I have been missing you very much after I went to college a year ago. Whenever I think of the old days, I feel very happily. I still remember when I was child, you always held me in your arms and told me stories till I fall asleep. We often went to the fields to enjoy the pleasant view there. You told me the name of different plants and their characteristics. Gradually, I became interesting in biology and chose to learn biology when I entered into the college. Now my friend Ann, together with me, are going to do field study and the findings will be use as materials for our research. Since we’ll do the study in our hometown, I hope to see you by then.
Yours,
Daisy
