British Women Writers in different periods of time
The English Renaissance
The English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a number of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery. A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behn's works include also the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.
The neoclassical period
Among the well-known women in Bristish literature during the neoclassical period, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Two other women are recognized for their contribution to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.
The Romantic period
Jane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period (1798-1832). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another famous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Shelley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of SixWeeks Tour and The Last Man.
The Victorian period
The Victorian period, between the 1830s and 1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlotte's novels include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mary Anne Evans adopted the male pen name George as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine genre of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.
21. According to the passage, Aphra Behn’s plays mainly concern __________.
A. racism and slavery B. economic security
C. education of women D. cooking and gardening
22. Which period does Jane Austen belong to?
A. the English Renaissance. B. the Neoclassical Period.
C. the Romantic period. D. the Victorian period.
23.Why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories under the name of George Eliot?
A. Women were forbidden to write novels then.
B. It helped promote her works.
C. It sounded more popular.D. Her works would be different.
24. If a reader is interested in women’s education, whose works can be the best choice?

B. Mary Astell’s.
C. Mary Wortley Montagu’s.
D. Mary Shelley’s.

Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.
When we think about what makes the person—it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?
We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.
As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students though we’re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.
In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(種族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving and good manners.
Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.25. Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?
A. Handsome income. B. Polite behavior.
C. An academic degree. D. High ranks in the office
26. The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that.
A. manners can be taught in different ways
B. how the president of New College cares about his students
C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty members
D. what students say and do can indicate if they have mannered behavior
27. From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest benefit by good manners would be that.
A. Good manners guarantee acceptance of others
B. Good manners inspire students to study harder
C. Good manners help deeper connections with others
D. Good manners guarantee students to get whatever they want

Ants are troublesome, best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics. But, a new species of crazy ant is taking over Texas. In some ways they appear to be worse than fire ants and there's no good way to stop them* These ants move fast and are plentiful in some areas.
The crazy ants first sprang in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of
a problem ever since.“An invasion of these can be so extreme that it's hard to call it just aziyuankucomnuisance," University of Texas entomologist Edward LeBrun told The Austin American-tatesman. “The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions, appliances and other electronic devices. No one is entirely sure why," He said.
David Oi , a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture, told The New York Times in 2013, the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself can't be ruled out.
The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep, that's actually what they are called-are found in
23 Texas counties. The ants have very little venom(毒液), but do cause a slight sting when
they bite. Mostly, though, they're a hazard to electrical equipment.
They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control or
kill the population. And, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much that can be done
about them right now. So, for the moment, the best advice is not to stay close to ant piles and
groups. and hope that none make it inside to crawl around the electronics.
28. What do the ants do in Texas?
A Bite some people. B. Damage local crops.
C. Destroy appliances. D. Pollute environment.
29. The underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "”.
A. story B. problem C. visit D. failure
30. When meeting with ant piles, we'd better.
A. kill them all B. control them
C. drive them away D. stay away from them
31. What can we know from the text ?
A The crazy ants first. appeared in Texas in 2013.
B. The crazy ants cause huge loss to the people in Texas.
C. The government is taking measures to deal with the ant.
D. David Oi is sure why the ants ruin electronic devices.

Staring lovingly at your reflection in the mirror gets old, especially if it's not a magical one
that tells you you're the fairest of them all. But what if all that time you already spend in front of a mirror could actually make you the most beautiful person in the land? Many smart mirrors already make this promise, but HiMirror is the first one you can actually buy, and it costs $ 189. The secret comes in the form of a camera that takes pictures of your natural appearance to analyze your complexion (面色), before offering you tips on how to get better skin. I tried it out recently and was impressed by how many things it could do.
The 5. 5-pound mirror houses a 14-inch LCD screen and has a camera sitting in the middle
of a ring flash, which helps light your face for better images. HiMirror takes a picture of your
face every day to analyze your wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles and red spots. The idea is to
track how your skin changes over time, and flag your so-called problems so you can take early
measures to improve upon your skin and achieve your beauty goals. HiMirror pairs with an
IOS or Android app so you can track your complexion on the go.
In addition, HiMirror will play tutorial videos on proper skin-care techniques, stream
music from Spotify and show you the weather forecast and UV index for the day. You can also
tell it the types of beauty products you use, so it can determine whether they've been effective
in treating your target areas. Adding a product to what the company calls your "Beauty Box"
simply requires holding up its bar code to the camera and scanning it. It's not clear yet how
many brands and products this feature supports, but most big brands are recognized.
32. How does HiMirror work?
A By making you the most beautiful person in the world.
B. By introducing some specialists to give you some help.
C. By recommending the types of beauty products to you.
D. By taking photos of your face to analyze your complexion
33. HiMirror tracks complexion with the help of____ .
A. a "Beauty Box" B. music from Spotify
C. the weather forecast D. an IOS Or Android app
34. The last paragraph is mainly to tell us
A how to use HiMirror properly B. other functions HiMirror has
C when HiMirror goes on the market D. the inspiration of designing HiMirror
35. What can be the best title for the text7
A A magic mirror to make you beautiful B. Some tips about using a smart mirror
C.A magic mirror to go on the market D. Some reactions of using a smart mirror

Studying Abroad
The topic of my speech today is “Studying Abroad”.
Attending schools abroad has many advantages. Firstly, by looking at our own country from outside, we can widen our vision and broaden our minds. Secondly, we can visit famous scenic spots and make friends with the local people. Thirdly, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language may be improved quickly.
However, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign school. The most serious problem is the language barrier. Most students do not have adequate knowledge of the language spoken there. On arriving there, they find it difficult to understand what the teachers are saying. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find parttime jobs to support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and learn little.
On the whole, it is a good thing to study abroad. However, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.
Thank you for your listening.

M: Did you see the movie, Enemy of the State, yesterday evening?
W: No, I missed it. I went shopping for clothes. How was it?
M: I consider it is one of the best films of the year.
W: What a pity I missed it! I would have seen it if Mary hadn’t asked me to go shopping.
M: Anyway, it was really an excellent film. I haven’t seen such an interesting film for a long time!
W: I remember I read an article about it the other day. It says that some people think it will win some film awards at the end of the year.
M: It is really worth seeing.
W: I’ll see the film when they show it again.
Text 9W: Gerry, come and take a look at this information pack for our trip to London.
M: Oh , there are so many choices. Penny, I don’t know where to start.
W: Well, why don’t we start with the kids? I don’t think Sally would like the London Zoo. She always feels sorry for the animals, but she’s been asking about the London Eye for weeks, so we have to go there.
M: You’re right. What about Billy? He loves boats, so he will choose either the Thames or a boat at the zoo.
W: Definitely the Thames for Billy. What about an opera at CoventGardens for your parents?
M: That would be great. And for you ... what about going to do some shopping on Oxford Street?
W: Which page is that on? Wow! This looks fantastic. There are so many great shops in Oxford Street. Will you come with me?
M: I’ll come if you really want me to, dear. Do you have any ideas?
W: I will visit Alice. She was my best friend when we were at college. She found a job in London after graduation. She doesn’t know my plan. I want it to be a surprise.

Hi, I’m Andy Wells. People say I’ve got a dream job because I travel around the world to write a guidebook for the theme parks. People often ask me what the top theme park in the world is. Well, I have to say that it has to be MagicKingdom at Disney World in Florida, the most famous theme park. But the most popular park for people who like adventure rides is Cedar Point in Ohio, USA. It has seventeen roller coasters in one park and three water rides. There are lots of other attractions too. What’s more, there are some other theme parks that are very special for certain people. For example, last year I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, where there are those shops that sell magic sweets and things in the Harry Potter books. It was great for Harry Potter fans. There’s also a fantastic tour of HogwartsSchool where you can meet characters in the books. All in all, there are many interesting theme parks in the world which are really worth visiting. I hope you can have chance to visit the ones that attract you.
