The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great NovelistWill Be Remembered by the People”The headline was not overstating （夸大） the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations（改编版本） of Dickens works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50. Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor（文学教投） who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects（情感效果） among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the little man at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th-century novelists wrote entertaining（娱乐的） works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply. Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed. This year marks the 150thyear of Dickens death. Its another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or re-read some of his famous works?26. What is Paragraph（段落）2 mainly about?A. Personality of Dickens.B. Appearance of Dickens.C. Popularity of Dickens.27. As a novelist, why has Dickens remained so popular?A. He wrote for fun.B. He wrote from his heart.C. He mainly wrote for the upper class.28. When people read Dickens novels, they could _. meet the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK know about the social reality at that time not be influenced by the works at all think about how to make a difference to their societyA. B. C. 29. What does the underlined word inequality mean in Paragraph 4?A. 不平等B. 不现实C. 不稳定30. The purpose of writing this text is probably to _.A. introduce Charles Dickens life and deathB. encourage readers to read or re-read Charles Dickens worksC. present the similarities between Charles Dickens and other writersBHave you ever seen a solar panel（太阳能电池板）in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power（给供电）their homes. However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time? Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls（滚动）down, it creates friction（摩擦力）on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity. Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible, which are as soft as clothing. The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels（液体和气体燃料）.31. Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world?A. Solar energy.B. Water energy.C. Wind energy.32. What is one of the problems of common solar panels?A. The price of them is rising.B. They cant work all of the time.C. They can hardly power peoples homes.33 Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful?A. It has a larger size than a common one.B. It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy.C. It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions.34. What does the underlined word “flexible” mean in Paragraph 5?A. 柔软的B. 光滑的C. 坚硬的35. We can infer（推断）from this text that _.A. there is no room for developing solar energyB. there is no end to the research in the field of solar energyC. solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy第三节 语篇补全 阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。选项中有一项为多余选项。Mark Twain once said, Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. The famous writer talked about a problem many of us have. The problem is procrastination（拖延症）. When procrastination becomes a habit, it can make our lives terrible. However, everyone can avoid it by taking a few simple steps today! Make daily “to do” lists. Before your day ends, make a plan for tomorrow. List upcoming tasks in order of importance. Youll begin each new day with a head start, already knowing what needs to be done. As you complete each task, check it off. _36_ . Always keep your daily schedule（计划）with you. Use it to remind yourself what you need to do next. Youll then have a much better chance of carrying out your plans. Break large tasks up into small ones.If a project looks too big,_37_.

You may need to remove your phone or TV from your workplace. If people often stop by for a talk, you may need to move to a different
