Passage 7

(安徽省芜湖一中2008年高三5月最后一模A篇)

Many people could not forget the buautiful dance during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The dance was performed by 20 disabled girls. They can’t hear or speak. But their performance is remembered by many people. The leading dancer of the dance is Tai Lihua. She is 28 years old. She is very beautiful.

Tai Lihua was born healthy. When she was two years old, she lost her hearing because of a fever. Not long after that, she became mute, too. From then on, her world was silent. But she didn’t know this at first. At five years old, when she played a game about sounds with her schoolmates she discovered that she was different from the others. She was very sad about it. Her father went to many places to look for best treatments for her illness. But nothing worked. When she was seven years old, she went to a school for deaf and mute children. In that school, she did well in her studies. Her teacher said she used her mind more than the others and was good at expressing her feeling through dance. She also began to love dance. She thought she could use dance to express what she  thought about life.

When she was 15 years old, she began to learn to dance. At first, she couldn’t dance well. But she didn’t stop. She worked harder than the others. She also spent more time learning. Her efforts made her a very good dancer. She has been to many countries to perform and many foreigners like her style. She now lives a happy life with her family.

Passage 5

(南昌市南昌二中高三冲刺模拟考试C篇)

Misery and setbacks are not always as terrible as one imagines.Hard times can offer new ways of looking at life that would otherwise never be known.And, if you are a writer, this can be the source of much of your success.

    Popular British author, Charles Dickens' (1812-1870) family could hardly make ends meet (入不敷出).They could only afford to send one of their six children to school.

    Dickens was not that child.

    His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy.Then at the age of 12, Dickens' life took another turn for the worse.

His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts.And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory.His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing.

His father was freed three months later and inherited (继承) a small amount of money.Dickens was then sent to school.

From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories.Thus the "Pickwick Papers" (《匹克威克外传》), came into being, which brought fame to the 23-year-old man.

Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels.He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in "Oliver Twist" (《雾都孤儿》), the French Revolution in "Tale of Two Cities", and social reform in "Hard Times" (《艰难时世》).He also wrote "David Copperfield" (《大卫·科波菲尔》), a book thought to be based on his own life.

"I do not write bitterly or angrily: for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am," he once said.

His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career.There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist.

Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success.

"Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort," he once wrote.

   On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work.The words on his tombstone read: "He was a sympathizer (同情者) to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed (受压迫者), and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world."
