Today, let’s just have a brief look at part of them.‎ ‎●United Kingdom - Pride and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice is kind of a literary Rosetta Stone, the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize that this is the novel that in many ways defined what a modern novel is.‎ ‎●France - The Three Musketeers The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas also frequently works into the plot about various injustices, abuses, and absurdities of the old regime, giving the novel an additional political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce.‎ ‎●Switzerland – Heidi Heidi is a work of children's fiction published in 1881 by Swiss author Johanna Spyri. It is a novel about the events in the life of a young girl in her grandfather's care in the Swiss Alps. Heidi is one of the best-selling books ever written and is among the best-known works of Swiss literature.‎ ‎●Spain - Don Quixote The story follows the adventures of a noble who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world.‎ ‎●Portugal – Blindness Blindness is a novel by Portuguese author José Saramago. It is one of his most famous novels. In 1998, Saramago received the Nobel Prize for Literature, and Blindness was one of his works noted by the committee when announcing the award.‎ ‎●Russia - War and Peace This novel of Leo Tolstoy chronicles(记录) the history of the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families.‎ ‎21.

Don Quixote is a romantic love novel rather than an adventurous one.‎ B ‎ We told my 8-year-old daughter recently that she has dyslexia. It felt like the right time to put a name to her struggle. Another child in the class had recently laughed at Viv when she tried to read out loud, and we had noticed that she was beginning to get down on herself because she couldn’t read beyond the easiest of early reader books.‎ I had armed myself with information about dyslexia, yet I didn’t rehearse(排练)the talk. Maybe I should have. When we told her that her brain works a little differently than her classmates’ brains, she reacted with a kind of refusal at first, saying she’s been keeping up with her peers. Then she went to our bedroom and cried for 15 minutes under the covers. ‎ I was upset and wondered if we had made the wrong decision. Was there a different way to describe dyslexia? Perhaps we should have better shared one of the success stories we’ve heard? But what does an 8-year-old know or care about Henry Winkler or Jay Leno, all of whom have dyslexia?‎ I had purchased three books about dyslexia, but I was unhappy with them — one was too medical; one was too old for her; and one was a picture book. Without thinking,‎ ‎ I read aloud the medical book. After reading I knew I was making a mistake. My daughter burst in tears. “I’m dumb,” she cried. “I’ll never learn to read.” All I could do was to hold her weeping.‎ The next day Viv brought home a big red picture book by Oliver Jeffers, “A Child of Books.” Ms. Emily had chosen it for her, and as we read it out loud that afternoon, I understood why. In it some words are written “The dyslexia come from a world of stories and upon rich imagination they float.”‎ In the summer, a reading specialist came to help Viv learn to read. I listened from the kitchen with a bright smile appearing on my face as Viv worked her way through words-spelling in early reader.‎ ‎24. The person who has dyslexia always has difficulty in _______.‎ ‎ A. listening and writing B. reading and spelling ‎ C. reading and writing D. spelling and speaking ‎25. Why did Ms. Emily choose the book written by Oliver Jeffers for Viv ? ‎ ‎ A. Because the book was so interesting. ‎ B. Because the book was so simple that Viv can read it easily.‎ ‎ C. Because the book encouraged Viv to enjoy stories with her imagination. ‎ D. Because the book instructed Viv how to read books.‎ ‎26. What does the last paragraph imply ?‎ A. The little girl will cooperate with the specialist ‎ B. The specialist will cure Viv of dyslexia. ‎ C. The little girl will improve herself gradually.‎ D. The specialist will visit her frequently. ‎ ‎27. What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?‎ ‎ A. Viv didn’t realize her problems in reading at the beginning.‎ B. It’s sensible to make Viv herself know what the dyslexia is.‎ ‎ C. Henry Winkler and Jay Leno inspire Viv to overcome the dyslexia.‎ ‎ D. The mother was not well concerned of the dyslexia.‎ C India's highest court banned selling firecrackers during Diwali(迪瓦利节), causing a serious conflict because some saw the ban as an attack specifically on Hinduism's(婆罗门教) biggest festival. Others, however, were hopeful that the ban would lessen air pollution levels.‎ It was meant as a way to deal with air pollution - but it ended up as the topic of a heated online debate about religion. On Twitter, different people began spreading in response, and had nearly seven thousand tweets on both sides of the debate.‎ For Sanjay Dixit, a secretary to the government in Jaipur, India, the ban is "an avoidable overreach." "Are we going to learn culture from time-honored practices, or be taught by the courts?" Dixit said. "With Indians, education with loud crackers would have worked better." On Twitter, many users even linked the ban on Diwali firecrackers to banning Christmas trees on Christmas. Voices across the religious circle have spoken out against the ban, saying it does not properly talk about any environmental concerns.‎ However, for those living with respiratory(呼吸道的) conditions or households with young children, the ban on fireworks makes perfect sense. Pallavi Pratap, an lawyer who argues in front of the Supreme Court of India, said that she saw the ban as a "small improvement" for a cleaner environment. At this level, the entire population is affected, and health professionals suggest that children and those with respiratory disease spend no time outside. These conditions worsen in winter months as cooler air traps smog closer to ground level. Pratap herself was nearly blinded after a firework accident on Diwali years ago. Firecrackers, she said, leave her "terrified." "Bursting crackers is not the only tradition to support." Pratap said. ‎ ‎28. Why did the court ban selling firecrackers during Diwali ?‎ A. To ban the religious belief B. To spread religious spirit ‎ C. To arouse a debate D. To ease air pollution ‎29. How do you understand the underlined sentence?‎ A. Firecracker is to Diwali what Christmas tree is to Christmas.‎ B. No firecrackers on Christmas.‎ C. No Christmas tree on Diwali.‎ D. Christmas tree is more important than firecrackers.‎ ‎30. What’s the author’s attitude toward the ban according to the passage ?‎ A. subjective B. supportive C. objective D. uncertain ‎ ‎31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. A dilemma: celebration or protection ?‎ B. An introduction to Diwali &Hinduism.‎ C. A ban of selling firecrackers ‎ D. A debate between environmentalists and religionists.‎ D Easy to make and cheap to buy, instant noodles have long been China's ultimate convenience food. A snack for students, a meal on the train, or just the go-to choice for hungry workers, more than 46.2 billion packets were sold in China in 2013. But by 2016 those sales had decreased to 38.5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodle Association. ‎ So what's going on? Well here are some theories --- which suggest instant noodles could be, in many ways, a great indicator of how China is changing.‎ Aspiration: Customers want better food The recipe for instant noodles is fairly straight forward: Just add boiling water, a sachet of sauce, and some small packets of dehydrated vegetables and meat. As appetizing as that sounds, one factor in the slump could well shows a shift in China's consumption patterns. Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.‎ Travel: Infrastructure improving, habits changing Travelling in China 20 years ago, I filled my stomach (and time) by eating pot after pot of instant noodles during cross-country train journeys, which sometimes lasted three days or more.‎ But Chinese trains and stations have improved. Journeys are quicker, and the range of food options are far more international.‎ Smart phones and the Internet: There's another form of “quick food”‎ About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet. And apps that offer food delivery to your home, office or wherever you happen to be are a real boom industry. Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles.‎ ‎ But these meals can still be inexpensive, and arguably more tasty.‎ But put in the global context, China is still the biggest market for instant noodles. In fact China's total was roughly the equivalent of Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, India, the US, South Korea and the Philippines combined. And that means global noodle manufacturers are unlikely to turn away from the Chinese market.‎ ‎"Some consumers stopped consuming instant noodles, but most consumers want to increase the quality of them," chief executive Kiyotaka Ando, Japan's instant noodle business Nissin Foods, said, "We can supply high-quality products so we have more possibility to develop our business."‎ ‎32.Why have instant noodles long been the most important convenient food in China?‎ ‎ A. The recipe for instant noodles is fairly straight forward.‎ B. Instant noodles are really more tasty than other fast food.‎ C. Chinese like eating instant noodles.‎ D. Instant noodles are easy to make and cheap to buy.‎ ‎33.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “slump” in paragraph 4 ? ‎ A. taste B. sale C. consumption D. decline ‎34. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. A Japanese company may make a profit by improving the quality of instant noodles.‎ B. The writer loved eating noodles on the train decades ago.‎ C. Apps offering food delivery are popular because instant noodles are in good demand.‎ D. Instant noodles have brought about great changes in China in many ways.‎ ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. China is still the biggest market for instant noodles all over the world.‎ B. Food-delivery apps gives rise to the boom of quick food.‎ C. The decline of instant noodle sales indicates the changes in China in many ways.‎ D. Instant noodles have long been China’s ultimate fast food.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Improve Your Study Habits  ‎ Maybe you are an average student with an average intellect.
