These were Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre and Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quality as her sisters.Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlottes book. (It was not published until 1869. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once；Thus each of the sisters bad a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful； The other two, however, did not do. so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1863. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.66. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte? A. Help him write stories. B. Help him get trained in art. C. Teach him how to draw well. D. Teach him how to educate himself.67. We know from the text that A. Jane Eyre was published in 1847B.

Shirley and Villette B. The Professor and Agnes Grey C. Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights D. The Professor and Wuthering Heights70. What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text? A. Their novels interested few publishers. B. None of them had more than two books published. C. None of them lived longer than 40 years old. D. Emily was the least successful of the three.BHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.71How would the author describe the animals life in zoos?ADangerous.BUnhappy.CNatural.DEasy.72In the state of zoochosis, animals _.Aremain in cagesBbehave strangelyCattack other animalsDenjoy moving around73What does the author try to argue in the passage?AZoos are not worth the public support.BZoos fail in their attempt to save animals.CZoos should treat animals as human beings.DZoos use animals as a means of entertainment.74The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.Apointing out the faults in what zoos doBusing evidence he has collected at zoosCquestioning the way animals are protectedDdiscussing the advantages of natural habitats75Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _.Azoos have to keep animals in small cagesBmost animals in zoos are endangered speciesCsome endangered animals are reproduced in zoosDits acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsCA university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops.Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth 9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesnt really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said. “She didnt intend to steal when she went into the store .She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.”Judge David Azan fined Luz 50, and warned : “Youve got a criminal record .If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.”Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain ,went on to a famous university in Berlin , Germany for her masters degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University ,UK.76What is Ana Luzs nationality?AAmerican.BBritish.CSpanish.DGerman.77What does the underlined sentence “She is at a loss to explain it” mean?AIn her opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she stole things .BShe doesnt have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops .CShe thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops.DPersonally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actions.78Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting” used in the passage?ACarrying goods in a lift for a shop.BTaking goods to the ladies toilet.CSelecting some goods from a display.DTaking goods from a shop without paying.89From the passage we can learn that .AAna Luz is already got her PhD at Cambridge University, UKBAna Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so Cthe university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more DPhillip Lemoyne is the “respectable and intelligent” womans defense lawyer80What would be the best title for the passage?AShoplifting Shame of a PhD StudentBApologizing for the Actions in ShopsCSeeking Professional Help from ExpertsDControlling the Desire to Steal from ShopsDThe other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7.30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not alwa
