the history of fiction.He wrote over twenty novels and many of his characters are asfamiliar to todays readers as they were to readers in Dickenss day.In the early nineteenth centurythere was a rise in literacy and everyone,from the ordinary workman to Queen Victoria herself,readDickenss novels.His popularity was in part due to his ability to capture the imagination of his audience bycreating unforgettable characters such as the orphan Oliver in Oliver Twist or the escaped convictMagwitch in Great Expectations.He described the lives of ordinary people during the industrialrevolution and he had a deep understanding of the hardships suffered by the poor because of hisown childhood.He was also capable of incredible wit(机智)as is demonstrated in his first and brilliantly comicnovel,The Pickwick Papers.This was an instant success with his Victorian audience and is stillconsidered to be one of the funniest books ever written in English.But there was another reason for the amazing success of his novels and that was the way theywere published.All of his major novels were published in magazines in weekly or monthlyinstalments.Serial publication had several advantages.In those days,the price of a book was far tooexpensive for ordinary peoplea novel cost 20 shillings or more and the average worker onlyearned between 5 and 30 shillings a week.Dickenss novels appeared in magazines as weekly or monthly instalments.These magazinescost under a shilling and were within the price range of ordinary people.For the publisher,itincreased the market for fiction because more people could afford to buy the magazines.Dickens wrote his stories with this serial style of publishing in mind,planning each instalmentcarefully to keep the attention of his audience.He had to make sure that at the end of eachinstalment there was suspense(悬念)which would make readers wonder what would happen nextand as a result they would buy the next magazine.This created a special style of novel which isorganised into regular chapters.Not until the whole story had been published in serial form did it高三英语第 4页（共 8 页）appear as a complete novel.This type of publishing was extremely common throughout the nineteenth century and manyother novelists also published in serial form.But unlike Dickens,these other writers never publishedthe first instalment of a novel until they had written the complete work.Dickens had so muchenergy and such an exceptional imagination that he was able to keep to the tight writing schedulesrequired by serial publication for nearly 35 years!From around the 1850s,many of Dickenss earlier novels were re-issued in weekly or monthlyparts in what was called the Cheap Edition.This was a similar idea to todays cheap paperbackswhich are published at least a year after the more expensive hard back books.24.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the success of Dickenss novels?A.Queen Victoria recommended Dickenss novels to readers.B.The characters Dickens created were unforgettable.C.His books were interesting.D.The method of serial publishing made the magazines affordable.25.The underlined word instalments in the 4thparagraph could be best replaced by_.A.serial publicationB.low priceC.different styleD.close connection26.How did Dickens encourage people to buy the next instalment of his story?A.By creating a special style of novel.B.By making his characters realistic.C.By creating suspense at the end of each instalment.D.By telling his writing plan.27.How did Dickens differ from other writers at the same time?A.He was the only writer to use serial publishing.B.He didnt complete his stories before he started publishing.C.His stories were better.D.He was short of imagination.CAmericans do not usually see themselves,when they are in the United States,asrepresentatives of their country.They see themselves as individuals who are different from all otherindividuals,whether those others are Americans or foreigners.Americans may say they have noculture,since they often think of culture as an additional quality of customs to be found only inother countries.Individual Americans may think they chose their own values,rather than having hadtheir values forced on them by the society in which they were born.If you ask them to tell yousomething about American culture they may be unable to answer and they may even deny thatthere is an American culture.Because they think they are responsible as individuals for having chosen their basic values andtheir way of life,many Americans dont like generalisations(概 括)others make about them.Generalisations disturb Americans.They may be unhappy with the thought that they hold certainideas and act in certain ways simply because they were born and raised in the United States,and notbecause they had consciously thought about those ideas and ways of doing things and chosen theones they preferred.At the same time,Americans will readily generalise about various subgroups within their owncountry.Northerners have fixed views about Southerners,and vice versa.There are fixed views ofpeople from the country and people from the city;people from the coasts and people from inland;people from the Midwest;minority ethnic groups;Texans;New Yorkers;Californians;Iowans;andso on.Therefore,Americans see few generalisations that can safely be made about them,in partbecause they are so individualistic and in part because they think regional and other kinds ofdifferences clearly distinguish Americans of various groups from each other.28.Americans,when in the United States,see themselves as _.A.individuals much the same as foreigners高三英语第 5页（共 8 页）B.individuals that share the same values and way of lifeC.individuals who are all differentD.representatives of their country29.Americans may think that American culture _.A.is different from other culturesB.is highly valued around the worldC.is better than other culturesD.does not really exist30.Americans are disturbed by generalisations others make about them because _.A.American culture has not been thoroughly studiedB.they think of themselves as individualsC.not all Americans were born and raised in the USD.differentAmericans have different origins31.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.HowAmericans See ThemselvesB.Why Generalisations Disturb AmericansC.HowAmerican Culture DevelopsD.WhatAmerican ValuesAreDNeed for closure is a psychological term that describes a persons desire for a firm answer to aquestion.Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion anduncertainty.Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure.It likely evolved vianatural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation were in.Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe,and it matters much morewhen were rushed,or bored,or tired.Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase,and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions:who wedecide to trust,whether we admit were wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring,for instance,a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on theirfirst impression.Its called the Urgency Effect.In one experiment,psychologists tried to lowerpeoples need for closure by telling them,right before participants are about to make variousjudgments of a job candidate,that theyll be responsible in some way for them,or that theirjudgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision,its not enough just to know that we should take our time.We allknow that important decisions shouldnt be rushed.The problem is that we dont keep that advice inmind when it matters.So,one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders.Before makingimportant decisions,write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequencescould be.Also,think about how much pressure youre under.If your need for closure is particularlyhigh that day,its even more important to think twice.32.How does need for closure probably come into being?A.By acquiring.B.By accident.C.By nature.D.By imitating.33.It can be inferred that a high need for closure _.A.promotes ones creativityB.leads to not so good decisionsC.brings about more stressD.causes discomfort and uncertainty34.In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants need for closure by telling them to_.A.be responsible for their bossB.be cautious about their judgmentsC.value their first impressionD.pay little attention to the consequences35.The author would probably discuss_ in the paragraph that follows.A.some serious consequences of making decisionsB.other approaches to making important decisionsC.more helpful solutions to high need for closureD.another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life高三英语第 6页（共 8 页）第二节第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2

balloon with a parachute,marking the first exampleof truly modern skydiving.In the military,skydiving was originally used as a way to provide support for airmen.38Brave pilots began to skydive for fun as well.Wildfire fighters also skydive to reach remote site sothat they can be on the ground quickly.Several safety measures are taken to make skydiving as safe as possible.Skydivers regularlycheck
