 (南昌市南昌二中高三沖刺模擬考試C篇)

Misery and setbacks are not always as terrible as one imagines．Hard times can offer new ways of looking at life that would otherwise never be known．And, if you are a writer, this can be the source of much of your success．

     Popular British author, Charles Dickens' （1812-1870） family could hardly make ends meet （入不敷出）．They could only afford to send one of their six children to school．

     Dickens was not that child．

     His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy．Then at the age of 12, Dickens' life took another turn for the worse．

His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts．And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory．His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing．

His father was freed three months later and inherited （繼承） a small amount of money．Dickens was then sent to school．

From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories．Thus the "Pickwick Papers" （《匹克威克外傳》）, came into being, which brought fame to the 23-year-old man．

Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels．He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in "Oliver Twist" （《霧都孤兒》）, the French Revolution in "Tale of Two Cities", and social reform in "Hard Times" （《艱難時世》）．He also wrote "David Copperfield" （《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》）, a book thought to be based on his own life．

"I do not write bitterly or angrily: for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am," he once said．

His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career．There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist．

Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success．

"Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort," he once wrote．

     On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work．The words on his tombstone read: "He was a sympathizer （同情者） to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed （受壓迫者）, and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world．"

64．The book that called public attention to Dickens was ______．

       A．the Pickwick Papers                         B．Oliver Twist

       C．Tale of Two Cities                      D．David Copperfield

65．The phrase “shades of” in bold means “_____”．

       A．various shapes of                          B．situations of

       C．different experiences                       D．reminders of

66．How did Dickens see his childhood?

       A．He felt grateful for it．

       B．He felt it a pity that things weren’t in his favor．

       C．He loved writing about it．

       D．He chose to forget the bitterness about it．

67．From the story, we can see Dickens’ attitude towards an easy life is ______．

       A．to enjoy it                            B．to hate it

       C．not to indulge in （沉湎于） it        D．to work hard for it

It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century．

We’ll know where we came from．Why does the universe exist? To put it another way, why is there something instead of nothing? Since the 1920s, scientists have known the universe is expanding, which means it must have started at a definite time in the past．They even have developed theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution（演變） of the universe．

We’ll crack（破譯）the genetic（基因）code and conquer cancer．Thanks to 20th-century antibiotics, the once dreaded, once incurable disease now can mean nothing more serious than taking some pills．As scientists learn more about the genetic code and the way cells work, many serious diseases ---cancer, for one ---will become less threatening．Using manufactured “therapeutic”（治療的） viruses, doctors will be able to replace cancer—causing damaged DNA with healthy genes．

We’ll live longer （120 years?）．If the normal aging process is basically an invisible contest in our cells ---a contest between damage to our DNA and our cells’ ability to repair that damage ---then 21st –century progress in genetic medicine may let us control and even reverse the process．

We’ll manage Earth．In the 21st century, we’ll stop talking about the weather but will do something about it．We’ll gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity on the Earth, its climate and its ecosystems（生態(tài)系統(tǒng)）．And with that knowledge will come an increasing willingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet．

We’ll have a brain “road map”．This is the real “final frontier” of the 21st century: The brain is the most complex system we know．It contains about 100 billion neurons, each connected to as many as 1,000 others．

56．In the 20th century, __________ made the serious disease become curable．

       A．genetic code    B．healthy genes       C．a(chǎn)ntibiotics           D．DNA

57．Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?

       A．In the 21st century, we will be more willing to manage the working of our planet

       B．The brain contains about 1000 billion neurons．

       C．The 21st century progress in genetic may let us control the aging process．

       D．The universe must have started at a definite time in the past．

58．What’s the main idea of the text?

       A．People will live longer and become much stronger in the 21st century．

       B．There will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century

C．Science will develop more quickly in the 21st century．

       D．People will know more about our world
