A

In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels

for a century

—

most experts date the first novel to

Robinson Crusoe

in 1719

—

but nobody wanted to do it professionally.

The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (

识字

) rate in England was under 50%. Many

works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part,

were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.

In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved,

who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters

—

from Oliver Twist

to

Tiny

Tim

—

were

held up

as

moral

touchstones. Today

Dickens’

greatness

is unchallenged. Removing

him

from

the

pantheon (

名人堂

) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the

Mona Lisa

.

How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test

of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901;

today a casual reader might be able to name a half-

dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted

audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But

it’s

2

also

that

he

rewrote

the

culture

of

literature

and

put

himself

at

the

center.

No

one

will

ever

know

what

mix

of

talent,

ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it

is possible

—

and important for our own culture

—

to understand how he made himself a lasting one.

21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?

A. They were difficult to understand.

B. They were popular among the rich.

C. They were seen as nearly worthless.

D. They were written mostly by women.

22. Dickens is compared with the

Mona Lisa

in the text to stress ________.

A. his reputation in France

B. his interest in modern art

C. his success in publication

D. his importance in literature

23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To remember a great writer.

B. To introduce an English novel.

C. To encourage studies on culture.

D. To promote values of the Victorian age.

B

Steven

Stein

likes

to

follow

garbage

trucks.

His

strange

habit

makes

sense

when

you

consider

that

he’s

an

environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the

road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is d

efending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.

Americans

use

more

than

100

billion

thin

film

plastic

bags

every

year.

So

many

end

up

in

tree

branches

or

along

highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (

收银台

). The bags are prohibited in some 90

cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to

make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.

Among the bag makers’

arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily

recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a

small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.

The

industry

has

also

taken

aim

at

the

product

that

has

appeared

as

its

replacement:

reusable

shopping

bags.

The

stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable

bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for

the planet than plastic.

Environmentalists

don’t

dispute

(

质疑

)

these

points.

They

hope

paper

bags

will

be

banned

someday

too

and

want

shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.

24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?

A. Help increase grocery sales.

B. Recycle the waste material.

C. Stop things falling off trucks.

D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.

25. What does the wor

d “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Bans on plastic bags.

B. Effects of city development.

C. Headaches caused by garbage.

D. Plastic bags hung in trees.

26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?

A. They are quite expensive.

B. Replacing them can be difficult.

C. They are less strong than plastic bags.

D. Producing them requires more energy.

27. What is the best title for the text?

A. Plastic, Paper or Neither

B. Industry, Pollution and Environment

C. Recycle or Throw Away

D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control
