where children die of starvation and many are abandoned.the story isnt only about nell and her grandfather, but also the people who are connected to them directly or indirectly. there is richard swiveller, a careless young man who is a friend of nells older brother, who wants swiveller to marry nell for the fortune he thinks she has. daniel quilp is a cruel moneylender, who manages to fool the grandfather into borrowing large sums of money from him. there is honest kit, a boy employed at the shop, who becomes a victim even though he never harms other people. kit desires to help nell, whom he considers an angel that has always inspired the best in him. the mysterious bevis marks, who is a generous customer to some people and an enemy to others, also has his own reasons for looking after nell and her grandfather.unlike dickens other works, the old curiosity shop is a book of contrasts: the purity of nell compared to the dishonesty of quilp, fresh air and scenic villages to the polluted, stone-covered city, etc. even peoples reaction to the book presented a cruel contrast. at first, nell trent was praised and considered dickens best character. later, she was criticized by many well-known people like oscar wilde. while characters in dickens other books are moving towards a better future, nell and her grandfather are fleeing for their life and their story is moving towards a sad ending. 56. we can infer from the first two paragraphs that _. a. nells mother died young because of povertyb. nells grandfather made a fortune by gamblingc. nell died of starvation during her journeyd. nell had no one to turn to on her travels57. whats the third paragraph mainly about? a. the plot (情節(jié)) of the story.b. the characters in the story.c. the background of the story.d. the inspiration behind the story.58. the old curiosity shop is different from dickens other works because it _. a. is full of contrastsb. has a surprise endingc. reflects dickens own lifed. is set in the industrial revolution bmuch of european train is about efficiency and comfort - leaving and arriving on time and having a comfortable seat. but the following european trains dont necessarily offer the fastest journeys - just the most memorable.sweet switzerland: the chocolate trainroute: montreux to broc, switzerland time: 9 hours, 45 minutes, this charming train, running in summer and fall, climbs from montreux overlooking lake geneva to the old town of gruyeres, population 1,600, home to the cheese of the same name. tour the cheese factory and the local castle, have lunch, then reboard the train and continue on to broc. there youll be bussed to the cailler-nestle chocolate factory, lying between lake gruyeres and mountains.tunnels galore: the bernina expressroute: chur, switzerland, to tirano, italytime: 4 hours, 14 this train takes on seven-percent inclines (斜坡), 55 tunnels, and 196 bridges - reaching a height of 7,391 feet and then dropping to 5,905 feet before coming to a stop. it travels through the alps south from switzerlands oldest town to an italian town of just under 10,000 people.a hotel on wheels: francisco de goyaroute: paris, france, to madrid, spaintime: 13 hours, 30 leave paris in the evening, enjoy a three-course dinner and the increasingly rural scenery, sleep with the rhythm of the rails, and wake the next day as you arrive in madrid, rested and ready to tour the most populous (人口密集的) city in europe. first class includes a welcome drink, good dinner, breakfast, and an in-room bathroom with shower.the epic journey: trans-siberian railwayroute: moscow to vladivostok, russiatime: 19 this route, a symbol of russian culture, crosses eight time zones to connect the russian capital with a port on the pacific ocean. on board, poor stay with rich, young with old, foreigners with locals. social differences disappear as passengers share a unique rail experience.59. travelling from montreux to broc on the chocolate train, you _. a. will spend about five hoursb. have to go in winter and springc. will see a famous chocolate factoryd. can have lunch on the train 60. which of the following websites offers more information about francisco de goya?a. b. c. d. 61. which of the following trains can help you learn about russian culture? a. trans-siberian railway.b. the chocolate train.c. francisco de goya.d. the bernina express.62. the passage is most probably taken from a _. a. news reportb. book reviewc. travel magazined. geography textbookcalmost everyone is afraid of something - snakes, heights, public speaking and so on.it is normal and can even be helpful to experience fear sometimes. in dangerous situations, fear can keep our bodies alert (警醒的) so that we can act quickly to protect ourselves. but for some people, fear develops into a “phobia”, which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something. for example, the majority of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building. but people with height phobia may have trouble breathing, feel dizzy or turn down a great job just because the company is on the 20th floor. phobias can prevent you from living a normal life. “people with spider phobia would stay out of their home or dormitory room for days if they thought a spider was present,” katherina hauner, a researcher at northwestern university, us, told abc news. this is why scientists have been trying to find a cure for this disease.since fear comes from experience - from what we are told, what we see others experience and what happens to us - some scientists think if they can “rewrite” these unpleasant memories, they might be able to help people overcome their phobias.in a study by hauner and other scientists, participants with spider phobia were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. seeing that it was not actually dangerous, they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. finally, they could hold it with their hands.certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. back in 2010, researchers at the university of hiroshima, japan, injected (注射) a special medicine into a fish - who was afraid of light - to turn off the fear center in its brain. from then on, the fish no longer feared light.while the search for solutions to phobias is making great progress, its an open question whether getting rid of fear is good. some people want to use these methods to make soldiers fight harder in wars by taking away their sense of fear. dave smithson of the charity anxiety uk thinks thats a bad idea. “its fear that prevents us from doing crazy things,” he says. “theres a name for people who dont have fear of consequences: psychopaths (精神變態(tài)者).63. the main point of the article is to _. a. show us what kind of role fear plays in our livesb. discuss if it is good to try to get rid of fearc. inform us of fear and phobiad. discuss scientific studies related to fear64. how does the writer make the meaning of “phobia” clear? a. by making comparisons.b. by giving examples.c. by giving data in numbers. d. by giving descriptions.65. which of the following shows the progress scientists have made in finding solutions to phobia? a. new medicine can shut off fear centers in animal brains whenever needed.b. they can use phobias to keep our bodies alert so that we can protect ourselves.c. they can now reduce the pain which is connected with phobia.d. they have succeeded in helping some people ignore memories related to phobia.66. which of the following would dave smithson probably agree with? a. there is nothing to fear except fear itself. b. we should not let fear affect our decisions.c. fear is not a completely bad thing. d. without fear, everyone would be brave. dkoala bears as pets might be appealing to many of us. however, there are quite a few points to consider even before thinking of adopting one. koala bears are one of the most lovely australian animals. in certain cases where the koala has been raised by hand, they have turned out to be quite affectionate pets. these people tied a piece of fur to a pillow and placed it beside a joey (a baby kola) as a substitute (替代物) for the mother koala. this trick seemed to work well with the baby koala. however, it is a known fact that human handling causes stress to koalas. in my personal opinion, this aspect clouds the fact that koala bears can be tamed (馴服).in australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned. it was hunted to near extinction (滅絕) for its fur. in fact the koala had been wiped out from south australia in the 1920s. however, rehabilitation efforts have brought the animal back in the state. as for the australia government, the koala is not a threatened animal, but the us government does list the koala as one.although they may live in 40 to 60 kinds of eucalyptus trees, they prefer only 10 to 14 specific kinds. koalas sleep for most part of the day, which is about 16 to 18 hours, and for most of their waking hours all they do is eat. koala bears eat the leaves of eucalyptus trees. a full-grown koala c
