1．Disease，poverty，hate，love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age．Two hundred years on，his stories still speak volumes across the world，proving that Dickens'legacy（遗产）was far greater than just"great-literature"．
February 7marks the 200^th anniversary of the writer's birthday．To mark this date，BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world．Let's take a look at two of them．
A White Christmas
Dickens is described as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival，but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today．
In the early 19^th century，Christmas was barely worth mentioning，according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt．The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays，when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off．
Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come．In his classic novel，A Christmas Carol，he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas，but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-"home enjoyments，affections and hopes"．
In his biography of Dickens，Peter Ackroyd wrote："Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas．"
"Dickens"poverty（贫穷）
Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London．He helped popularize the term"red tape" to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy（官僚作风） in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society．
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty．In 2009，when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain，she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific"，but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens"．

8．The article is mainly aboutB
A．a brief introduction to Charles Dickens
B．Charles Dickens'influence on the world
C．the characters in Charles Dickens'stories
D．Charles Dickens'achievements in literature
9．Why is Dickens called"the man who invented Christmas"？C
A．Because he created both religious and culture festival．
B．Because all his novels have something to do with Christmas．
C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations．
D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas．
10．According to the article，the phrase"red tape"refers toD．
A．rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
B．a situation in which poor members of society are hurt．
C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
D．pointlessly time-consuming official procedures
11．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．Dickensian is widely used to describe the Christmas
B．Charles Dickens'novels reflect the true life at his age
C．Every person can take three days off for Christmas
D．The theme of Charles Dickens'stories is about poverty．

18．Are some people born clever，and others born stupid？Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience？Strangely enough，the answer to these questions is yes．To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth，and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence．On the other hand，a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and different surroundings．Thus the limits of persons'intelligence are fixed at birth，and whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment．This idea，now held by most experts，can be supported in a number of ways．
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with．The closer the blood relationship between two people，the closer they are likely to be intelligent．Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population，it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different．If，on the other hand，we take two twins，they are very likely to be as intelligent as each other．Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence，and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth．
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments．We might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring．We would soon find differences in intelligence developing，and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part．This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in touch with each other，but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence．

67．If a child is born with low intelligence，he canC．
A．become a genius
B．not reach his intelligence in his life
C．reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D．still become a genius if he should be given special education
68．In Paragraph 2，the underlined sentence"if we take two unrelated people at random from population"means"A．"
A．if we pick any two persons
B．if we take out two different persons
C．if we choose two persons who have relations
D．if we choose two persons with different intelligence
69．The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately showsD．
A．the part that birth plays
B．the importance of their relations
C．the importance of their intelligence
D．the role of environment on intelligence
70．The best title of the passage can be"B"．
A．Surroundings B．Intelligence C．Dependence on Environment D．Effect of Education．

19．One day in l965，when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle，a fourth-grade teacher approached me．She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge．"Could he help in the library？"She asked．I said，"Send him along．"
Soon a slight，sandy-haired boy in jeans and a T-shift appeared．"Do you have a job for me？"he asked．
I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books．He picked up the idea immediately．Then I showed him a stack of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them．He said，"Is it kind of a detective job？"I answered yes，and he became working．
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced，"Time for break!"He argued for finishing the finding job； She made the case for fresh air．She won．
The next morning，he arrived early．"I want to finish these books，"he said．At the end of the day，when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis，it was easy to say yes．He worked untiringly．
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk，inviting me to dinner at the boy's home．At the end of a pleasant evening，his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighbouring school district．Her son's first concern，she said，was leaving the View Ridge library．"Who will find the lost books？"he asked．
When the time came，I said a reluctant good-bye．I missed him，but not for long．A few days later he came back and joyfully announced："The librarian over there doesn't let boys work in the library．My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge．My dad will drop me off on his way to work．And if he can't，I'll walk!"
I should have had an inkling（感觉） such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go．What I could not have guessed，however，was that he would become a wizard of the Information Age：Bill Gates，tycoon of Microsoft and America's richest man．

36．What was the boy told to do on his first day in the library？C

B．To put those overdue books back to the shelves．
