In the 200 years since her death, Austen has been getting more and more popular all over the world.And yet Austens works are so English that its rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of their time that its strange that shes still enjoyed in this very different age. Her most famous works including Pride and Prejudice, the one which she is most known for are about the world of the English gentry(贵族阶层)in the late 18th century.Most of her works 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 matter, of course, but the joy of Austens stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching, comedy out of something so serious.Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. Elizabeth Bennet is one of six daughters in a family that struggles with money problems. Her mother wants to marry off as many of them as possible. Mrs Bennet is one of the great comic characters of English literature.The novel is developed by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these obstacles(障碍) are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.If we think about this story, its clear why Jane Austen is still popular 200 years after her death, and why readers can still identify with characters from the long dead world of the 18th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, its still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.（1）From Paragraph 2 we can know that the writer _. A . believes Jane Austens works were ahead of their timeB . thinks that everyone should read Jane Austens booksC . is surprised that Jane Austens books are still so famousD . doubts if Jane Austen is still popular all over the world（2）According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice _. A . has a sad and unexpected endingB . deals with a serious social problem in a lighthearted wayC . is mainly about poor peoples struggles in the 18th centuryD . tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work（3）According to the passage, Jane Austen remains popular today because_. A . readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy peopleB . her works are developed by the love-hate relationshipC . readers can always find something new from her novelsD . her works deal with problems many of todays readers still face（4）The passage is mainly written to _. A . explain why Jane Austen is still popular todayB . introduce the story of Pride and PrejudiceC . introduce Jane Austens creative writing styleD . explain why Jane Austen was chosen to be on the new 10 note5. （6分）请根据以上内容，从下列各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案并将其番号填入题前括号内。（1）Justin Young is a _.A .
