Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 1 ‎ As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 2 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 3 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teach you how to think,” I said.‎ The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.‎ ‎ 4 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.‎ Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and wrote of times. 5 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.‎ A. Then a hand shot up.‎ B. I know that wasn’t really the reason.‎ C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.‎ D. That question was never more troubling.‎ E. That’s why we still need to read him today.‎ F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.‎ G.

A friend who’s always late. The one who turns up for coffee a full half hour after the appointed time. 　1　. Or just maybe, if you’re really honest, this tardy (拖延的) individual is actually you yourself. Either way, 1ateness can be extremely annoying to the receiving end.‎ How on earth can people be so inconsiderate?‎ Recent research suggests that there might be more to this than simple rudeness. Psychologists ‎ from Washington University believe people view time differently. Their study gave participants a specific amount of time to complete a task. 　2　. Despite this, some people became so absorbed in the activity that they completely forgot to check the clock.‎ Our personality also plays a role. The less punctual among us often share characteristics such as “optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety” 　3　. Optimists tend to overestimate how much they can achieve and underestimate problems. It means they don’t account for the long traffic jam on the way for that coffee.‎ ‎　4　. The English phrase “to be fashionably late” is used to describe the proper time to arrive at an event. The problem is, what one person regards as fashionably late, another may view as impolite. 　5　.‎ A. Why optimism, you ask?‎ B. Maybe language is to blame C. It even provided them with a clock D. Different people vary from each other E. Next time you have coffee, do try to be on time F. The one who seems to be forever “stuck in traffic”‎ G. The one that might always be later than the agreed time ‎【文章大意】主要讲述一些人约会总是迟到的原因。‎ ‎1.F 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。根据前一句“一个因买咖啡迟到了一个小时的朋友”可知，此处还是解释朋友会迟到的原因。F选项一个“永远被堵在路上的朋友”符合语境。故选F。‎ ‎2.C 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。根据后一句可知，一些人太专注于活动而忘记核对时间。所以给他们提供了钟表。故选C。‎ ‎4.B 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。此句为该段主题句。根据下文可知，根据后一句“The English phrase…to be fashionably late”可知，此处应和语言有关。B选项符合语境。故选B。‎ ‎5.E 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。根据前面的解释，不同的人对于“to be fashionably late”的理解不同。所以，后面一句应为还是按时的好。构成顺承关系。E选项下次喝咖啡还是尽量按时的好，符合语境。故选E。‎ Passage 4（2018届安徽省江淮十校高三第二次联考）‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 女主角简爱身上有很多值得我们学习的地方 ‎ 191‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 ‎ “Jane Eyre” was published in 1847.

Try these four methods on a daily basis.‎ Don’t think a lot about negativity.‎ Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.‎ It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.  　 1 　 However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.‎ ‎　 2 　 ‎ What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 　 3 　‎ Be kind to others.‎ ‎　 4 　 Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.‎ Take it one day at a time.‎ Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 　 5 　 Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.‎ A. Eat healthy and stay fit.‎ B. Take your lunch breaks outside.‎ C. Don’t worry about what the future may bring.‎ D. Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.‎ E. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.‎ F. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.‎ G. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文为说明文。讲述的是每天保持积极乐观的四种方法。‎ ‎1.F 【解析】根据下文However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.可知此处表示你可以花几分钟感觉难过，然后接受发生的事情，但是在你的一天里不能再难过了，故选F。‎ ‎2.A 【解析】根据本段内容可知本段表示的是要吃得健康并保持健康，故选A。‎ ‎4.E 【解析】本段讲述的是要对别人和善，要尊重和同情每一个人，你做的好事也会影响别人效仿你，由此可知此处表示＂好的感觉来自于善意和无私的行为＂，故选E。‎ ‎5.C 【解析】根据下文Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.（集中注意力活在当下，尽你所能地使每一个都变得更好）可知此处表示＂不要担心未来可能会带来什么＂，故选C。‎ Passage2((2017届北京市西城区高三二模)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 社交恐惧症的危害和解决办法 ‎ 310‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 Social Phobia It’s natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. 　 1 　It’s probably more than shyness. It may build ‎ up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).‎ ‎　 2 　It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.‎ It is really sad, isn’t it? But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice. 　 3 　‎ Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. 　4　Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.‎ Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. 　 5 　As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.‎ A. Friends can overcome their fears.‎ B. But for some, the anxiety can be extreme.‎ C. They are not able to make eye contact with classmates.‎ D. Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities.‎ E. It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.‎ F. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.‎ G. The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文为说明文。讲述的是社交恐惧症的危害和解决办法。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】根据上文可知此处表示＂对于某些人来说，这种焦虑可能是极端的。＂，故选B。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】根据本段的内容可知，本段表示的是社交恐惧症的不良影响，与D项（社交恐惧症使人孤独或对错过的机会感到失望）一致，故选D。‎ ‎4.G 【解析】根据上文可知此处表示家人和朋友的支持在帮助克服社交恐惧症时的重要性，与G项一致，故选G。‎ ‎5.F 【解析】根据上下句可知此处表示＂每一步的成功帮助建立足够的信心进行下一步＂，故选F。‎ Passage3(2017届山西省太原市高三第三次模拟)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 三项中国传统文化 ‎ 238 ‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 Traditional Chinese Culture Chinese culture is over 5000 years old. 　1　‎ The spirit of the tea ceremony Xi Hu Long Jing (West Lake Dragon Well) and Yunnan Pu’er have long been world famous. 　2　The spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony captures the Chinese attitude towards life and spirituality.

However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.‎ ‎● 　2　The moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you become angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.‎ ‎●Keep a check on your breathing. 　3　By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.‎ ‎● 　4　For example, if you're experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.‎ ‎●Look for a support in other people. 　5　It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After you're done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that you'll feel much better than before.‎ A. Talk to yourself positively.‎ B. Come to a stop as soon as you are angry.‎ C. Try to see the situation in a different light.‎ D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.‎ E. What you can do when you become angry is to breathe deeply.‎ F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other become angry.‎ G.
