Jane Austen(1775-1817),an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life. Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers. Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless,”Jenkyns said. Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty ,smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their families don’t want them to. In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other. Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer,so it is surprising she remained unmarried. ‘Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says. 【1】From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know . A.Jane Austen passed away in her fifties B.Austen’s works remain popular today C.all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films. D.Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family. 【2】Which of the following sentences is True? A.Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight. B.Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy. C.Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family. D.Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end. 【3】What does the underlined word”vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.粗俗的 B.鲁莽的 C.吝啬的 D.伪善的 【4】From what Jenkyns says,we can learn __________. A.opposites can attract each other B.lovers should improve each other. C.Austen’s works go beyond her times D.Austen married a perfect man at last |

What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers. The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes, even poisonous ones. Their newspaper advertisement says, “Snake Catchers: free snake removal—Please do not kill them — Call us. ” The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don’t charge anything for helping people. “We do this as a hobby,” explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers. Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. “One man asked us to kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don’t want to see them killed, ” said Fred. Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park. Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. “Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake properly!” According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family found a snake skin in the kitchen. They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for the Snake Catchers. He called them. “The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too,” said Steve Greenwood. “One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake Catchers did a very good job.” Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina. 【1】The Snake Catchers catch snakes because ______. A.they want to kill the snakes B.they like trying to catch snakes C.they don’t want people to hurt snakes D.they like eating snakes 【2】When a man asked them to kill a python, the Snake Catchers ______. A.made some boots from the skin B.were very happy C.gave him some old boots D.did not agree 【3】The Snake Catchers set most of the snakes free ______. A.in a national park B.in a university C.in a garden D.in their own houses 【4】According to Fred, ______.

But there was none. Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said.
