Jane Austen(1775－1817), one of England's most famous novelists, was never publicly recognized as a writer during her lifetime. Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire and the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. She was mainly educated at home, benefiting from her father's library. Her closest friend was her only sister, Cassandra. Though Austen lived a quiet life, she had unusual access to the greater world, mainly through her brothers, Francis and Charles, officers in the Royal Navy，who served on ships around the world and saw action in the Napoleonic Wars.
As a child Austen began writing comic stories, now referred to as the juvenilia(少年时代作品). Her first mature work, written when she was about 19, was a novella(中篇小说), Lady Susan, written in epistolary(书信体的) form. This early fiction was preserved by her family but wasn't published until long after her death.
In her early twenties Austen wrote the novels Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, one of her best－known novels, which was finished in 1797. When Austen was 25 years old, her father retired, and she and Cassandra moved with their parents to Bath. During the five years she lived in Bath, Austen began one novel, The Watsons, which she never completed. In 1811, Austen published Sense and Sensibility, which identified the author as “a Lady”. Pride and Prejudice followed in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, and Emma in 1815. For some reason, all of them were published not using her name. Austen began writing the novel that would be called Persuasion in 1815 and finished it the following year, by which time, however，her health was beginning to fail. Austen died on July 18,1817 because of her illness and a few days later she was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
8．All the following were completed by Jane Austen EXCEPT ________.
A．Lady Susan. B．Persuasion.
C．The Watsons. D．Emma.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，小说The Watsons一直没有完成。
9．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．the Austens moved to Bath for the benefit of Jane's health
B．Jane Austen felt upset because her novels weren't recognized
C．Sense and Sensibility was published using the name of Jane Austen
D．Pride and Prejudice was published sixteen years after it was completed
答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句和第五句可知，Pride and Prejudice是在1797年完成的，在16年后的1813年发表，故D项正确。第三段第二句表明，他们搬到Bath的原因是她父亲退休了，故A项错误；选项B文中没有提到；根据第三段第四句到第六句可知，Sense and Sensibility发表时并没有用她的名字，故C项不对。
10．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Jane Austen's Early Life
B．Jane Austen's Great Works
C．Way to Success for Jane Austen
D．A Brief Introduction to Jane Austen
答案与解析：D　标题概括题。本文主要介绍了英国著名女作家简·奥斯汀的生平，故答案为D项。文中提到的她的多部作品只是她生活经历的一部分。
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。

答案与解析：
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，父亲通过一件小事让大儿子明白了自己不受重用的原因。
16．B　从17空后的“than the older brother”可看出，这里对应的应该是younger brother。19空后的“his younger brother”也是信息提示。
17．A　根据第一段最后一句中的“why he always trusted his younger brother to do more work”可知，此处应选work。
18．D　这里指哥哥不理解(understand)为什么父亲把更多的工作给弟弟。
19．C　大儿子问父亲这究竟是为什么，让父亲解释他这样做的原因(reason)。
20．D　根据下文父亲对小儿子讲的话“Go to the Davidson's farm and see if they have any ducks __17__”可以得出，此处应选farm。
21．A　根据下一段中大儿子的回答“Yes，they have five ducks and can __23__ to us”可知，这里指的是鸭子。
22．B　父亲叫大儿子去问问是否有鸭子卖，所以大儿子应该是带着问话的结果回来(returned)了。
23．B　父亲叫大儿子去问问是否有鸭子卖，从上一段中的“see if they have any __21__ to sell”中的sell判断应选B项。
24．A　根据下一段中大儿子的回答“The ducks are ￡10 each”可知，第二次父亲叫大儿子去问鸭子的价格(price)。
25．A　根据下一段大儿子的回答“They can deliver the ducks tomorrow”可知，父亲问什么时候(When)可以把鸭子送过来。
26．D　结合上下文语境，父亲让大儿子等着(wait)，看看弟弟是怎么处理这件事情的。
27．A　根据下文中的“Yes，they have five ducks for ￡10 each”可看出，父亲是让小儿子去看看Davidson's farm有没有鸭子卖。故A项符合语境。
28．C　上一段说父亲让小儿子去看看Davidson's farm有没有鸭子卖，这一段是小儿子看后的回答，因此用answer。22空后的“with the answer”是信息提示。
29．B　买五只鸭，每只鸭十英镑，或者买十只鸭，每只鸭八英镑，此处是讲到两种不同的购买方式，是选择关系，故选or。
30．B　根据前文中的“They can deliver the ducks tomorrow” 得到提示，这里指deliver。
31．C　语境为：我订了五只鸭子让他们送过来，除非我在接下来的一个小时内告诉他们不要送：unless足“除非”的意思。
32．B　语境为：我们商定，如果我想多买五只的话，我就可以按每只六英镑的价格买。extra意为“额外的”。
33．A　这里表示“父亲看着大儿子，大儿子点了点头”。
34．B　现在大儿子知道(knew)原因了。
35．B　从自己与弟弟办同一件事的对比中，大儿子发现弟弟比自己擅长做事。be good at (doing)sth.“擅长(做)某事”，此处为good的比较级，因此用better。
第二节　语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

答案与解析：
36．Unfortunately　由前后句句意该空所填词表达“不幸的是”，应填副词Unfortunately。
37．with　provide sb. with sth.“提供某人某物”。
38．a　该空填不定冠词a，表泛指。

Nowadays, with the growth of the Internet，many teenagers are addicted to online games. They usually spend long hours in front of computers in their spare time. The long term use of computers causes many students to suffer loss of memory. Their interest in studying also drops greatly.
How can we get teenagers back to a normal life I think it a good idea to help them form the habit of reading. On the one hand, reading can broaden teenagers' horizons. On the other hand, reading can deepen their understanding of the events happening at home and abroad. Besides, they will get good grades in their exams.
Let's pick up a book and read!
