    Queen Victoria and Her Time(1837-1901)


    正确答案:Victoria, who reigned over the British Empire for more than half a century, was another well-known Queen in English history. She mounted the throne in 1837, one year after the memorable 1836 when the dissatisfied English workers started their Chartist Movement and Charles Darwin returned from his travel.
    Victoria's time was full of tremendous changes in almost every field. The industrial revolution continued to develop in spite of the social problems that accompanied it. The invention of the locomotive threw Britain into a frenzy of railway construction. Agriculture was further mechanized. Trade and commerce grew apace, driving more peasants, hand spinners and weavers into factories. England was arriving at the age of machinery.
    Development of productivity broadened men's field of vision and increased their interest in scientific knowledge. In 1859, Darwin published his Origin of Species. His theory greatly shocked clergymen because it contained the suggestion that man descended from monkeys.
    Rapid social changes and people's eagerness to gain useful knowledge made it possible for a group of famous writers to appear because a growing number of people were fond of books. Thackeray, Bronte, Dickens, and George Eliot were among the most famous.
    Victoria was of high reputation for her contribution to Britain as well as her personality. She set a very severe home discipline for her children who were usually beaten up for dishonesty, mischief and negligence of duty. She was very careful about her behavior in public. In addition, she maintained a harmonious relation with her husband and almost set a standard for domestic virtues. Victoria's achievements were so popular in Britain and her personality was so widely esteemed and imitated by the middle class that the epithet Victorian was later applied to any person or time with the characteristics of decency and morality, self-satisfaction based on wealth, conscious rectitude, unquestioning acceptance of authority and orthodoxy, and great industrial and scientific development.
    Her time was called “the polite society” in English history.

  • 第7题：

    单选题
    How does the woman’s condition affect her reading?
    A

    It enables her to read faster than average.

    B

    She likes to reread a sentence from time to time.

    C

    She tends to skip sentences with bright colors.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    女士提到有时候在一句话中她会看到一列很美好的颜色，这使得她总想再读一遍这个句子重新体会一下，这就大大降低了她读书的速度，故B项为最佳答案。
    【录音原文】
    　　M: Our guest today is Alas Baker who has a very unusual ability. Alas, thank you for coming into the studio. What kind of unusual ability are we talking about here?
    　　W: Wow, it’s quite easy to describe. Basically, when I read a word or even think of a particular word, such as Tuesday, I see a color connected with it. It’s not that I imagine a color. I really see it loading in front of my eyes.
    　　M: How interesting! Is it a sort of medical condition?
    　　W: Yes. And just recently doctors have begun to understand it more. They call it synesthesia, which means that somewhere in my brain, there are links between sections that should really be separate. Other people have a form of this condition that affects emotions. So they see colors when they feel particular emotions. Apparently, it’s generally passed on from parents to their children, which is the case with me.
    　　M: Do you have any brothers or sisters with the same ability?
    　　W: Yes, my brother is the same as me. If we start talking about it, people think we are completely mad. When we were younger, we used to have arguments about things like what color the word Tuesdayis. It turns out that everyone with this condition sees different colors.
    　　M: It sounds as though it could make life quite exhausting.
    　　W: I suppose it does. But you see, if you’ve never known anything different, you don’t think of it like that. It does make you aware of your moods. I know when I started to feel depressed, things begin to look grey.
    　　M: Are there any other advantages do you find?
    　　W: Well, it seems that quite a lot of artists and musicians have this condition. So I guess it can be beneficial if it’s combined with some sort of gift or natural talent, which is not the case with me unfortunately. But I do find that it makes reading very interesting, because sometimes a sentence has a very nice range of colors. So you want to read it again just to experience that. Of course, this makes me quite a slow reader.

    A

    delicacy.

    B

    beauty.

    C

    humbleness.

    D

    intelligence.


    正确答案： A
    解析：
    细节题。由文章首段尾句的beautiful和modest可排除B、C两项。第二段首句中的ascribe intellect to her表明D项也是她的一个品质，故排除。文章开头提到，经过三十年的幸福婚姻，Virginius还是提醒自己Victoria除了缺少一点点令人心动的脆弱外具备一切魅力。由此可见Victoria最缺乏的品质就是脆弱(delicacy)，选项A与之相符。故答案为A项。

    C

    is this the first time she has lied

    D

    正确答案： C
    解析：
    句意：这绝不是她第一次对父母撒谎。当有by no mean“绝不”这样的短语放在句首时，句子要倒装，所以排除A、B两项，this/it is the first time后面要用现在完成时，表示“第一次……”因此只有C项符合。

  • 第12题：

    B

    thought about Victoria’s perfection.

    C

    tried to find fault with Victoria.

    D

    began to dislike Victoria’s features.


    正确答案： C
    解析：
    细节题。纵观四个选项，Virginius显然不会在想到妻子的完美时感到内疚，故排除B项。Virginius认为妻子除了缺乏一点令人心动的脆弱外，可以堪称完美，但这并不表明他去刻意地挑剔妻子，故排除C项。文章虽提到Victoria的容颜随着时间的流逝开始衰老，但并没有说Virginius因此而不喜欢她的容貌，故排除D项。文章尾段第三句提到，臆想对自己妻子不忠的丈夫总会有淡淡的不安，正是带着这样的不安，他告诉自己，他的妻子是个真正的好女人。由此可以推断，当幻想自己对Victoria不忠时他会感到自责，故答案为A项。

  • 第15题：

    All her time________ research, the scientist has no time for films.

    A.devoted to do
    B.is devoted to doing
    C.devoting to doing
    D.devoted to doing

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题考查独立主格结构
    D选项，句意为“那位科学家把所有时间都投入了研究，没有时间看电影了”。前半句的逻辑主语是all her time，与主句主语the scientist 不一致，因此为独立主格结构。time 与devote之间是被动关系，构成devote all her time to doing...结构。综上，D选项正确。

    【听力原文】
    M: Hi, Sarah, what’s up?
    W: Oh, hi. I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
    M: How did it go?
    W: Terribly. I’m sure I made a fool of myself.
    M: why? Weren’t you prepared?
    W: No, it’s not that. [1] I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I’ve to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everybody can see me blushing.
    M: It’s not so bad to blush.
    W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I’ll blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn’t that ever happen to you?
    M: No, not really. [2] Maybe you should forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.
    W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it will help.
    M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. Blushing, even though it is involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
    W: What do you mean?
    M: [3] Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And, among adults, supposedly women blush more than men.
    W: I wonder why.
    M: I don’t know why either. [4] Why don’t you use me as your audience when you’ve got an oral presentation in class next time?
    W: Good idea. Thank you. Well, I’ve got to get going for my next class. I’ll talk to you later.
    Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. What was the woman’s problem?
    2. Why might looking at the exit sign help the woman?
    3. What does the man say about children?
    4. What does the man suggest the woman do?
