These poems were well received 【2】 (local) and in 1786 they were published in the volume, Poems, Chiefly, 【3】 made him famous in Scotland overnight.
【4】 , his fame was not accompanied by money and he found 【5】 necessary to return to farming. 【6】 this also proved unprofitable, he entered government service in 1789.
He died at the age of 37 as a result of a weak heart, brought on by years of poor working conditions on the farm 【7】 (date) back to his childhood. Within a short time of his death, money started pouring in from all over Scotland 【8】 (support) his widow and children.

【2】locally
【3】which
【4】However
【5】it
【6】when
【7】dating
【8】to support
【9】is celebrated
【10】an
【解析】試題分析:文章大意:本文介紹了蘇格蘭最著名的詩人——羅伯特伯恩斯。
【1】in。本題考查介詞,in a traditional style以傳統的方式。在 1783 年他開始創(chuàng)作詩歌中使用埃爾郡方言的蘇格蘭人的傳統風格。
【2】locally。修飾動詞receive,用其副詞修飾。這里指羅伯特伯恩斯這些詩歌被當地人廣泛的接受。
【3】which。句中先行詞為poems,在非限定性定語從句中作主語,故用關系詞which。最主要地,詩歌使他在蘇格蘭一夜成名。
【4】However?疾檫B詞。這里為轉折關系,且用逗號隔開,故用however,注意首字母大寫。然而,他的名聲并非和金錢相伴的。
【5】it。考查代詞。這里it作形式賓語,真正的賓語為不定式to return to farming.。他發(fā)現回到農場是必要的。
【6】when?疾檫B詞。when當......時候。當他發(fā)現在農場也是無意義的,1789年他進入政府工作。
【7】dating。短語date back to追溯到,在句中作定語,故用現在分詞。追溯到他的童年在農場艱苦的工作條件所導致的。
【8】to support。這里用不定式表示目的性。錢開始從蘇格蘭各地涌來,來撫養(yǎng)他的遺孀和孩子。
【9】is celebrated。根據后面的by Burns clubs across the world可知用被動語態(tài)。如今,他的記憶被全世界伯恩斯所紀念。
【10】an 考查冠詞。由于unofficial是以元音字母開頭,故用不定冠詞an。他的生日是蘇格蘭和與蘇格蘭血統的人非官方的"國慶日"。

【題目】It was in the Victorian Era(維多利亞時期) that the novel became the leading form of literature in English. Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class. The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and others.
Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s. Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the poor. Most of his works were written in a very humorous style, which was popular with readers of all classes.
The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s. They began to write from early childhood. In 1846 they published the first book at their own expense as poets; however, their book attracted little attention, selling only two copies. Then the sisters turned to writing novels, each producing a novel in the following year.
An interest in rural matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others.
Literature for children developed as a single style. Some works became well-known, such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era, best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's bookThe Tale of Peter Rabbitin 1902.

【題目】Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
【1】In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.
A. what to do in our life
B. where to go with other persons
C. how to treat our life
D. how to get on well with other persons
【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.
B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.
C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.
D. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.
【3】If you put yourself in another person’s position, ______.
A. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people
B. you should put on other people’s shoes
C. you should believe in other people
D. you should depend on your imagination
【4】In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be one who ______.
A. can accept the suggestions made by others
B. can live happily and forget the past
C. does good to other people and is respected and loved by them
D. has made a lot of money for himself before he dies

【題目】In June 2013 a five-year-old boy, Toby, was walking home from school thinking about the long summer ahead. Money was tight that year and Toby’s parents had told him they would not be able to afford a holiday.
Instead of dreaming about foreign travel, he had been reading a book, Letter to New Zealand, where the author explains what happens in an envelope’s journey from England to the other side of the world. As they neared their house, Toby asked his mum, Sabine, if he could write a letter to New Zealand. After a few more steps he was struck by an even better idea. “Can I write a letter to every country in the world?”
Sabine says she often wonders what would have happened if she had replied differently that day. “It was just one of those typical questions that five-year-olds have,” she says. “ If he had asked me in the evening when I was tired, I might have refused. But as parents you realize there’s a lot of power in just allowing kids to have a go. Also, it seemed a nice way to do some armchair exploration. So I told him” Let’s see how far you get.”
The answer was very far indeed. Toby has since written and posted letters to all 193 UN mumber states, as well as numerous other bad-conditioned areas with comforting ones.
To date he has written 681 letters- the best of which have been selected to appear in a new book called Dear World, How Are You?- although so productive is Toby’ pen that the number will have risen by the time you read this.
“Writing these letters has made me realize that the world isn’t actually all that big,” he says with a grin.
In the future, part of him would like to be a musical director to turn his beloved Star Wars into a ballet. Of course, he also hopes to travel the globe in person to see some of the countries where his letters have ended up.
“We’re so lucky to have this wonderful world, and I hope we can live on planet Earth in peace.”
【1】 Why did Toby want to write letters to other countries?
A. He was good at writing.
B. He was eager to go abroad.
C. He got inspired by a book.
D. He wanted others to help his family.
【2】From Toby’s mother’s words, we know that at first____.
A. she thought her son’s idea was of no value
B. she got tired of her son’s request
C. she believed her son would succeed
D. she thought she should give her son a try
【3】What’s the influence of writing letters to Toby?
A. He has traveled to 193 UN number states.
B. He understands more about the world.
C. He becomes productive in writing stories.
D. He has to put his letters into a book.
【4】How can we describe Toby?
A. Clever and persistent.
B. Ambitious and kind-hearted.
C. Hardworking and humorous.
D. Brave and strong-willed.

【題目】Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool, which can be connected to any object you might lose, may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range (范圍). If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.
When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “l(fā)ost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.
For further information, please visit www. tile666.com.
【1】What can the Tile app help you?
A. To find other phone users.
B. To find your missing items.
C. To save your phone’s power.
D. To use your phone more wisely.
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What the Tile app is.
B. How the Tile app works.
C. Why the Tile app was created.
D. What the advantages of the Tile app are.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Tile need be charged after a year of use.
B. One smart phone can only be linked up with one Tile.
C. The Tile can’t be linked up with a phone without Bluetooth.
D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of your phone’s Bluetooth range.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. Science fiction.
C. A personal diary. D. An advertisement.
