27、   I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage. Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.

I read classic novels not only because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them. They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction (小说) shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.

Classic novels usually have memorable stories and interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite selfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiancé ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating (迷人的) character, both sad and easy to be frightened.

Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of my life.

【1】Classic novels are the ones __________.

A.that are taught at universities. B.that have stood the test of time.

D.to prove classic novels help people know the past.

【3】What can we know about the character Miss Havisham?

A.She is selfish and mean. B.She lives an unhappy life.

C.She loves wedding dresses most. D.She becomes rich with others’ support.

A.Why I like classic novels B.Why some novels are classic

C.How to read classic novels D.What are classic novels

28、One day. One lifetime. You can do it! From the museum of modem art to the museum of ancient articles, visit our picks for the world’s best museums.

National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)

This museum has a great collection of art spanning the Middle Ages to the present day, including American, Indian, European, Inuit and Canadian works. It offers a unique, near-complete overview of Canadian art — from early Quebec religious work, through Inuit work from the 1950s, to the contemporaries.

Tokugawa Art Museum (Japan)

The Tokugawa family reigned over Japan from 1600 to 1868. Under them, the country enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history. This time span is also known as the Edo period, during which the arts flowered in Japan. Artists of this period directly influenced Western masters such as Monet, Gauguin and Whistler and have since gone on to become household names. Other exhibits effectively present, through accurately reproduced environments, aspects of Japanese life at the time.

Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)

Highlights of this museum’s collection include a 4th-century Christian marble bust (半身像) of St. Paul at prayer, and a painting that questions life and our very existence, Gauguin’s “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?” It’s a must — go in the US.

The Egyptian Museum (Cairo)

As well as gathering together some of the finest archaeological finds from all Egypt, this museum also provides a rare opportunity to simply pop in and within minutes be standing face-to-face with one of the greatest works of mankind, Tutankhamun’s golden mask. A portrait of unbelievable quality, craftsmanship and beauty, the highly polished gold face — at once a god, a king and a teenager — shines like water: delicate, yet untouchable all at the same time.

29、   Raised by grandparents, Nikki was 17 years old when she secretly went to the University of Kentucky under cover of darkness. It was 2009, and the advice of her late grandmother Sue echoed in her head as she drove: Leave. Go to college. And do not let anybody from the bigger, wider world think they’re better than you.

Sue died when Nikki was 9. The opioid (鸦片) addiction had already broken out in eastern Kentucky by then. And in Nikki’s mind the drug problem turned into a drug crisis (危机) shortly after Sue’s death, when her family went from sleeping with the screen door unlocked to buying new doors - without glasses, which could be broken by thieves. Around that time, Nikki went to a birthday party, only to find her friend’s mother passed out on the toilet, surrounded by vomit (呕吐物) and pill bottles.

In high school, her teacher asked her classmates what they wanted to be in future. Nikki knew by then that both her safety and her economic fortunes lay far from her hometown. But her grandfather, Curt, wanted her to stay home, thinking Nikki should become a nurse, and that the community college would be enough.

The night she ran away, Nikki stopped halfway because she was shaking too hard to drive. She’d been planning the move her entire senior year, secretly applying for scholarships and saving $800 by working at a comic-book store. But she hadn’t ever set foot on a university, and she worried about her grandfather, who had never lived alone. She’d waited for him to fall asleep, and when she imagined him waking to an empty house the next morning, her shaking turned to loud cry. Nikki cried so hard that she vomited. Then she wiped herself off and drove directly to college.

A decade later, Nikki, now 28,, has become one of the leading voices on the opioid crisis in rural America —where, about 20 years later, treatment remains scarce even as deaths caused by overuse of opioid increase. In many rural places, neighbors turn on one another rather than placing the blame on the pharmaceutical (制药的) companies creating such serious situations.

The crisis has killed over 800,000 Americans, but the government hasn’t provided effective solutions, let alone a level of funding that could stop the crisis. However, Nikki has figured out a way to offer treatment to people in need. While the program she’s developed is still small and new, its results are promising, and it appears to be copied in other states. Her aim is to help people with opioid addiction, rather than just locking them up.

【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A.The sudden death of Sue.

B.The terrible situation of the opioid crisis.

C.The danger caused by thieves.

D.The symptoms of the opioid addiction.

【2】What possibly contributed to Nikki’s further study in the university?

A.Her friend’s mom’s passing out.

B.Her experience in a comic-book store.

C.Her grandma’s thoughtful encouragement.

D.Her decision to make economic fortunes.

【3】Which of the following can describe Nikki’s characteristics according to Paragraph 4?

A.Kind and strong-willed. B.Sensitive and weak.

C.Selfish but optimistic. D.Diligent but cruel.

【4】The underlined phrase “turn on” in Paragraph 5 most probably means ________.

A.assist B.trust C.attack D.dismiss

【5】Why is the government’s failure to provide effective solutions mentioned?

A.To indicate the difficulties to treat the addiction.

B.To stress Nikki’s unusual achievements.

C.To support the practice of locking up addicted people.

D.To blame the government for killing 800,000 Americans.
