完成下列各题

D

Popular British author，Charles Dickens’(1812—1870)family could hardly make ends meet．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．

His lather was placed in prison for debts．And，being the oldest male at home，Dickens worked at a factory．His horrible experience there became the ruel for his future writing．His father was freed three months later，and Dickens was then sent to school．

From l836 to 1837，he wrote a series of stories．Thus the Pickwick Papers came into being，which brought fame to him．His works are Oliver Twist，Tale of Two Cities，David Copperlield and Hard Times．

“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 areshades ofyoung Dickens in many of his most beloved characters，including David Coppeffield and Oliver Twist．“Minds，like bodies，will often fall into an ill—conditioned state from too much comfort．”he once wrote．

The book that called public attention to Dickens was________．

The phrase“shades of”in the last paragraph means________．

In“Are you pulling my leg or what?”，the phrase pulling my leg refers to________．

Both towns rushed to mend the hole in order to prove that________．

完成下列各题 C

There was a river with a small town on either side of it．The towns were linked by a bridge．One day，a hole appeared in the bridge．Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended．However，disagreement came up as to who should mend it．Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole．The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road，so the left—bank town should mend the hole．The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right—bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge．

The quarrel went on and on，and so did the hole．The more it went on，the more the hostility between the two towns grew．

One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg．People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident．But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night．

Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle(轴)because of the hole．Neither town paid any attention to the accident，as the traveler was not going from one to the other．but was merely passing through．The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended．

On hearing the reason，he declared，“I'll buy this hole．Who’s the owner?”

Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole．

“One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it．”

“How shall we prove it?”asked both sides．

“That’s simple．Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it．I'll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge”

People from both tow ns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle．They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole．

“What hole?”The traveler looked surprised．“I can’t see any hole．I've been looking for a hole for several years now．I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but there’s no hole here．Are you pulling my leg or what?”

He got into his car and drove off．

What did the two towns quarrel about?________．

If the information give in this passage is correct．when we look at a star at night________

We can know from the information given in the passage that the moon must be about________

In the first sentence，“about”it similar in meaning to________．

完成下列各题 B

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound．In one second，light travels about 300，000km．But sound travels only 344m．You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race．If you stand some distance away from the starter，you can see smoke comes from his gun before the sound reaches your ears．

This great speed of light gives US some strange facts．Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach US．If you look at the light of the moon tonight，remember that the light left the moon 1．3 seconds before it reached you．The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it t0—night started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute．In some case，the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born．

Thus，if you want to be honest，you cant say“The stars are shining to night”?You have to say“The stars look pretty．They were shining four years ago but their light has just reached Earth”．

Sunlight seems to________than the light of the moon．
