Jane is poor and an orphan and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she has the chance to escape and live independently, she does. Jane takes a job as governess in the house of a rich man called Mr. Rochester.Jane falls in love with Mr. Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she cannot bear to see him married to Blanche. She tells him that just because she is poor and not beautiful; it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a spiritual equal and not as his inferior.Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. She is a moral woman. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.Jane is an idealistic young lady who does what is right even if it is a struggle. She is good, intelligent and independent- the equal of any man. Some argue that Jane is the perfect role model.When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography and was talked about by critics as such. One of the critics in 1847 said that the story was, so like the truth that it is difficult to avoid believing that many of the characters and incidents are taken from life.In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were victimized and not given any protection by the lawthey were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury and by giving a little money to charity they thought they had done their best.36. The first paragraph tells us that _.A. Jane Eyre was criticized by many peopleC. Jane Eyre hated to be born in a rich familyB. what kind of woman Jane Eyre isD. the main idea of the book Jane Eyre37. The double-standards in Victorian Britain refers to _. A. the unequal rights between men and womenB. the different thoughts between adults and childrenC. the different lives between material and spiritual worldsD. the huge differences between the rich and the poor38. The passage is mainly about _.A. British life in the 19th centuryC. the book Jane Eyre and its valueB. Charlotte Brontes life and works D. English literatureB A classic joke goes like this: A nurse rushes into an exam room and says, “Doctor, doctor, theres an invisible man in the waiting room.” The doctor says, “Tell him I cant see him.”Pretty simple, right?Heres how I tell it: “A nurseher name is Joycefeels a presence in the waiting room. She looks around but sees nothing. She jumps up from her desk, carefully replaces her chair, and runs down the lavender-hued hallway to the doctors office. She knocks on the door. No response. Hes not there. Where can he be? She continues down the hall, admiring a lithograph of an 18th-century Mississippi paddleboat along the way.” By this time, my audience has left, but I soldier on. “She bursts into the exam room and says. Doctor, doctor! The doctor, I should mention, is a urologist with a degree from Ohio State, which is where my nephew”You get the idea. Im an embellisher. I cant leave a simple gag alone.Im not the only joke-challenged member of the family. My sisters worse than I am. Her problem: She cant remember them. “A nurse rushes into an exam room and says Uh, let me start all over again. A nurse rushes into a waiting No, its not the waiting room. She just came from the waiting room. Let me start all over again. A doctor rushes into No, wait”My uncles different. Hes guilty of taking a perfectly fine joke and selling it as the second ing of Oscar Wilde, “Okay, this is a good one. Ready? No, really, ready? Okay, fasten your seat belts. Ready? A nurseGot it? A nurse? Okay, ready? A nurse rushes into an exam room and says, “Doctor, doctor, theres an invisible man in the waiting room.” Now, this is where it gets funny. Ready?”No one is ever ready, so they leave before he gets to the punch line.My fathers on Wall Street, so he hears all the jokes before they hit the Web. And he lets you know he knows them all by telling you all of them. He also knows that most people dont like jokes. So he slips them in under the radar: “I was chatting with Ben Bernanke the other day. You know Ben, dont you? The Fed chief? Anyway, we were reviewing the Feds policy on long-term interest rates, and he told me it had evolved into its current iteration only after a nurse rushed into an exam room and said, Doctor, doctor, theres Hey, where are you going?” My brother Mark understands that the secret to good joke telling is to know your audience. When he entertained my grandmothers bridge club one evening, he made it a point to adapt the joke to them: “A beautiful blonde nurse rushes into a consulting room”No one in my family has ever finished this joke.But as bad as it is not to be able to tell a joke, theres something worse: not being able to listen to one. Take my cousin Mitch for example.“Why couldnt the doctor see him?” he asked.“Because hes invisible,” I said.“Now, I didnt get that. I thought the doctor couldnt see him because he was with a patient.”“Well, yeah, okay, but the fact that the guy was invisible”“Could the nurse see him?”“No. Shes the one who said he was invisible”“Howd she know he was there?”“Because he”“When you say he was invisible, does that mean his clothes were invisible too?” Heres where I tried to walk away.“Because if his clothes werent invisible,” Mitch said, stepping between me and the exit.“Then the doctor could see him, right?”“Yeah, but”“At least his clothes.”“I guess”“Unless he was naked.”“Okay, he was naked!”“Why would he go to his doctor naked?”Next time you see my family and someone is telling a joke, do yourself a favor: Make yourself invisible.39. Which of the following is true according to this article?A. No one in the writers family is good at telling jokes.C. Mitch is very sensitive to all kinds of jokes.B. Mark is the best at telling jokes in his family.D. A typically classic joke should cover all the details.40. What is inappropriate about Marks adaptation of the joke?A.

Mitch stepped between me and the exit because _.A. he wanted to go out with meB. he wanted to block my way outC. he was trying to repay the situation in the consulting roomD. he wanted to show that the doctor could see the patient42. Which is the best title of the passage?A. I earn to Amuse Others C. How to ruin a Classic JokeB. Where to Find DoctorD. A Story about a Funny FamilyCFor years, people living near the Taj Mahal have burned fuel and garbage. Slowly, tiny pieces of those fires are changing the marble on the Taj Mahal from bright white to brownish yellow. The pollution leaves particles(微粒） that change the marble s color.The 17the century monument is located in the busy, industrial city of Agra in northern India. Many have long blamed the citys air pollution for discoloring the famed monument.Researchers from two American universities and several Indian institutions led a year-long study to test the idea. They placed small pieces of clean marble on the Taj Mahal. They left them there for two months, and then studied the particles that landed on their surfaces.Professor S.N. Tripathi at the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur is one of the authors of the study. He said that the particles came from many sources especially from diesel trucks(柴油车）.“We have an increase in diesel vehicles nowadays in cities, especially large vehicles and trucks; that is number one , and that is a major emission（排放） source for black carbon and organic carbon.”Mr. Tripathi said burning garbage and cow dung（牛: 粪）was another major source of discoloring organic carbon. Especially now, when it is cold, he said, people bum almost anything to keep warm.Over the last ten years officials have banned vehicles within 500 meters of the monument. They have also tried to support clean fuel and improve the power supply to lessen the effect of diesel machines.But despite these measures, a xx study found that the non-stop growth of industry, population and traffic has only worsened air pollution in Agra.Preservationists, or people trying to keep the monument safe, say that the monument needs more targeted protection.Ratish Nanda in New Delhi said some changes were to be expected in a monument that is over 360 years old. He believes that the single issue of discoloration should not cause an over-reaction.But Mr. Nanda said the scientific munity needed to be more involved in observing and preventing damage to the monument. And he said that it needed more money to protect the Taj Mahal.“The whole preservation mechanism(机制）of the Taj Mahal needs to changed Absolutely, the one thing that is absolutely essential is to put in a system or even a law of conservation, requiring that whatever cleaning is done should be sensitive and have absolutely no long term impact.Since 1994, authorities have been giving the monument mud pack treatments to dislodge the discoloration. The treatment is just like the beauty treatment women have used on their faces and bodies for centuries. A mud pack treatment involves covering the Tajs surface with clay, and then taking it off. The monument received the treatment for the fourth time, but experts warn the process could have unwanted side effects.In xx, nearly 6 million people visited the monument. It is considered one of the finest examples of Mughal art and architecture in India.43. The passage mainly wants to indicate that _.A. the Taj Mahal is one of the finest Mughal arts C. pollution is changing the color of the Taj Mahal B. modem industry is destroying ancient arts D. India is trying to save and protect the Taj Mahal44. What can we learn from the passage?A. Ratish Nanda thought the Taj Mahal wasnt worth protecting.B. Because of its discoloration, the Taj Mahal attracted fewer visitors than before.C. The dust brought it by vehicles passing by damaged the Taj Mahal seriously.D. The researchers have confirmed the pollution source of the Taj Mahal.45. Professor S.N. Tripathis words imply that _.A. the Taj Mahal s situation will get even worse C. garbage and cow dung are Indias main fuelB. diesel trucks are the main vehicles in India D. some people are surprised at something normal46. Efforts to protect the Taj Mahal have _.A. greatly changed the situationC. caused more and worse side effectsB. been made but are not so effectiveD. been scientifically carried out recently47. Mr. Nanda thinks the key to protecting the Taj Mahal is to _.A. raise enough money to repair itC. beautify it with mud pack treatmentsB. cut down the number of vehiclesD. preserve and repair it professionally48. What does the underlined word “dislodge” mean?A. .Remove.B. Analyze.C. Improve.D. Change.四、单词拼写：每小题1分，满分9分。根据句子意思和首字母及中文提示，在空白处填上一个在语法和意思上都恰当的词。49.

This is a social norm we stick to when muting by bus or train, or traveling by air. But new research suggests people are deeply wrong about the misery of striking up conversations with strangers.Contrary to expectations, people arehappier after a conversation with a stranger, the study revealed. The study was carried out by a team by Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.For research, Epley and his team approached train riders in Chicago. In return for a $5 Starbucks gift card, they agreed to participate in a simple experiment during their train ride. One group was asked to talk to the stranger sitting next to them on the train that morning. The other was told to follow standard muter norms and keep to themselves. “Everyone seems happier and has a more pleasant interaction when they connect than sit alone,” Epley said. Perhaps e
