The mid-and-late 19th century is generally known as the Victorian age, controlled by the rule of Queen Victoria. This is a period of dramatic change that led England to the summit of development as a powerful nation. The rising bourgeoisie were getting political importance as well as wealth. England became the world"s workshop and London the world"s bank. London became the center of Western civilization. Literacy increased as the masses started to be educated and started to think for themselves. This stage has got ready for the coming of the Golden Age of the English novel.


The Early Period of Victorian Age
With the rapid economic development, the early years of the Victorian age was a stage of serious social problem. Social issues especially about industrialization and urbanization were reflected and dealt with mostly in literature.
English critical realism of the 19th century flourished in the forties which described with much vividness and great artistic skill and criticized the capitalist system.
The greatest of the entire Victorian age was Charles Dickens. Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, which were written by the Bronte Sisters, emerged in 1847 as women novels. Jane Eyre represents women"s fights for their equal rights and independence. Wuthering Heights caught the emotional needs of human beings in a time of rapid industrialization. William Makepeace Thackeray is best known for his Vanity Fair . While Dickens criticized the inhuman social institutions and the corrupted government in a direct way, Thackeray leveled his criticism at the moral standard that made up the money-minded society.
The Mid-Victorian Age
The Mid-Victorian Age was a stage of economic development. The English critical realists not only gave a satirical portrayal of the bourgeoisie and the ruling classes, but also showed sympathy for the common people. There is a great deal of the use of humor and satire in the English realistic novels, which is marked by intensifying pessimism. David Copperfield (1849—1850) is most autobiographical of all Dickens" works. The Great Expectations of Dickens is the greatest and most sophisticated novel which is written in a semi-autobiographical style about a young man who learns through rise and fall to discard his own snobbishness. Hard Times (1854) has an ironic title, as the main characters are rich factory owners and it is just their workers who have to suffer the "hard times".
The Late Victorian Age
The Late Victorian Age was not a simple development of mid-Victorian confidence and prosperity. The establishment of the British Empire was claimed when Queen Victoria became Empress of India in 1876, but a sharp decline had already come in the beginning from the 1870s.
The last quarter of the 19th century witnessed not only the decline of the British Empire but also the breakdown of Victorian value standards. Thomas Hardy was the main novelist of this period, and his novels show readers the losing struggle of individuals against the obscure power. But the critical realists did not find a way to eradicate social evils and a good solution to the social contradictions.

Historical Background

With England becoming a powerful nation, London turned into the center of Western civilization. More people got educated and literacy increased, which led to the appearance of the Golden Age of 2 .

The Early Period of Victorian Age

The common themes of literature were about social issues like 3 . The 1840s saw the flourishing of critical realism. Charles Dickens was the main novelist of that period.

The Mid-Victorian Age

4 were extensively used in English realistic novels. With economic development, literature in this period reflected sympathy for the common people, which could be found in many of Dickens" works, such as Hard Times.

The Late Victorian Age

With the 5 of the British Empire in the late 19th century tury, the critical realists struggled to find a solution to the social contradictions. Most novels in this period were about the losing struggle of individuals against the obscure power.

Who has it and who doesn"t And how do those of us with less of it get more It is a riddle that has exercised philosophers ever since Aristotle first identified happiness as the end of all human activity. Wealth and health are thought to be a means to it, but the thing itself always seems to he just beyond our grasp.

After a decade of studying happiness or "subjective wellbeing", to give it its proper psychological term, Michael Argyle, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Oxford Brookes University, concludes that the best guarantee of long-term happiness is something called "serious leisure"—a hobby or activity that involves your whole being.
1 says Argyle. "It"s also a highly social activity, which is a very important component of happiness. The point is it doesn"t really matter what you do as long as you find the activity challenging and absorbing."
Other experts, like Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago, concur. He has a similar theory called "flow". This is what a chess player senses at the most intense point in a game. "Flow is a state of loss of self-awareness, brought about by facing challenges with necessary skills." explains Argyle.
Because most people are by nature lazy and undisciplined, the majority find it easier to achieve flow when they are forced to rise to challenges imposed on them from outside, hence the importance of work as a source of happiness. But work can also be a huge source of stress and there seems to be less time than ever for the simple pleasures of life.
2 Flow, he argues, is all very well for the adrenalin-driven commodities traders of this world, but those of us who don"t have a high-powered job in the city may have to look elsewhere for contentment.
3 he writes in his latest book, The Social Psychology of Leisure , "Free time has greatly increased but those who have the greatest increase have not been able to convert it into satisfying forms of leisure."
The best example is TV. Recent studies have shown that Britain is in danger of becoming a nation of couch potatoes and Argyle agrees that because of its essential passivity, TV is one of the activities least likely to produce flow.

One answer is to ask the subjects to write down what they do at each hour of the day, and how it makes them feel. This technique, known as "pleasant activities therapy", was invented by Peter Lewinsohn. The data is fed into a computer which comes up with the activities that tend to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Professor Argyle"s own study of leisure groups put dancing at the top of the contentment charts, which you may or may not see as a happy coincidence given the professor"s own passion for hopping about in a kilt.
Next is any other activity that involves contact with people—such as volunteer work, or simply sitting around and relaxing with family and friends—followed by reading, making or fixing things and team sports. Cooking, housework and shopping are all ranked above watching TV.
5 After all, there are plenty of compulsive-depressive types who work all hours, go skiing every weekend and still end up committing suicide at 35.
"Just as there are happy people, there are unhappy people," he says, answering one of the questions posed at the outset of this article. The difference is that unhappy people look at themselves when things go wrong, but happy people only look at themselves when things go right. "The Americans call it the Pollyanna effect—always looking on the bright side."
Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A. This is where Professor Argyle"s theories come in.
B. "There really is a problem here."
C. How can we keep optimistic about the state of our life
D. But isn"t all this ranking of different leisure activities beside the point
E. "It"s extremely invigorating and a great source of euphoria."
F. So what sort of "serious leisure" activities should we be considering if we want a slice of Nirvana
G. "Actually lots of people lose their job aspirations." 1. E [解析] 上段段末提到“认真投入的休闲活动”，再结合后文It"s also a highly social activity, which is a very important component of happiness它也是一项社会活动……，推断这段段首很可能要对其进行进一步阐述。所以E“它会使你感到精力充沛和喜悦”正确。 2. A [解析] 横线后出现了代称，故该段首句必然提到he指代的人是谁。上段说到“工作也可以是幸福源泉，但工作也会带来很大压力”，而该空后说“他提出‘流’这种概念非常适合于这世界上被肾上腺素驱使的商人”，再结合Argyle教授的理论“长期幸福可以由使你全身心投入的活动带来”，可以推测这个理论可以解释前文关于“工作也可以是幸福源泉”的理论。A项“这就是Argyle教授的理论起作用的地方”最符合题意。 3. B [解析] 横线后“他在最近的一本书中写道”提示该句应是书中的话，所以一定有双引号。再加上后文讲到人们空余时间更多，但并没有把空余时间用在能使人有满足感的休闲活动上。所以他一定是指出了这样一个问题。 4. F [解析] 由下段the answer可知。此处应该是提出了一个问题。且下文讲的是休闲活动的满意度排名。所以可推断出F项“如果我们想要得到快乐，应该考虑哪些休闲活动呢”正确。 5. D [解析] 前文讲的是休闲活动的满意度排名，后文提到“毕竟很多人整天都在工作，每周末都去滑冰，可还是在35岁时自杀了。”D项“但是休闲活动的排名难道重要吗”自然地承接了前后文。 Section C
If ideas can symbolize the spirit of an age, then the symbol of the recent applied linguistic age is undoubtedly "language acquisition" But what does this term mean What exactly is "language acquisition" For the moment we may characterize it as the process by which individuals "pick up" a language through exposure to it. There are two immediately obvious sorts of language acquisition. The first is L1 (first language) acquisition, which every normal child manages at an early age. The second is FL (foreign language) acquisition where someone, a child or an adult, picks up a language, for example, while they are living in a target language country.

Chomsky"s ideas stimulated the interest in L1 (and, indirectly, FL) acquisition that there has been over the past few decades. For him, L1 acquisition is a conundrum, even a miracle. The big question is: how is it that the very young child, so poorly developed in many areas, is able to learn the rudiments of their native language so quickly and so successfully Chomsky"s answer was that the individual has a machine in the head, an LAD (Language Acquisition Device), that does the job for them.
The words "quickly and successfully" hold the key to one of the main reasons why applied linguists are interested in the acquisition idea. In an important article that appeared in 1968, Newmark and Reibel make the point that L1 acquisition is the quickest and most successful instance of language mastery that we know of. Since this is so, we might do well to study in some detail what is known about the L1 acquisition situation. What does the child do that makes acquisition so quick and successful How do the adults who talk to the child behave What assistance do they give to the acquisition process What are the important aspects of the acquisition environment Notice that though one of these questions is about the "organism", the others are about the "environment". This indicates that we are prepared to consider a role for the latter beyond that suggested by Chomsky.
The applied linguist Stephen Krashen is one of those largely responsible for interest in foreign language acquisition. In fact he argues that there are two quite distinct ways of mastering an FL, and he calls these acquisitions and learning. Acquisition first: he describes this process as a "natural", subconscious one, where there is no "conscious focusing on linguistic forms" (of the sort that you find in most classrooms). It is what we have already informally called the process of "picking up" a language, just as you do if you go and live in the target language environment. Indeed Krashen says that the minimal condition for acquisition to occur is "participation in natural communication situations".
Learning, on the other hand, is a conscious process, and it usually takes place in the language classroom. For Krashen it is particularly marked by two characteristics. Firstly, there is error correction. When learners make mistakes, it is normal for the classroom teacher to draw explicit attention to them, and to correct the errors. The second characteristic is what Krashen calls rule isolation. In the language teaching classroom it is normal for a lesson (or part thereof) to focus on one language point. It may be a grammatical item like a particular tense, or a pronunciation point, or some "rule of use". The word isolation indicates that in this procedure language points are dealt with one by one.
Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage. 1. How do people usually pick up a language Through exposure to it. [解析] (根据第一段第四句For the moment we may characterize it as the process by which individuals "pick up" a language through exposure to it.，可知个人学习语言的方式是通过接触语言环境。) 2. According to Chomsky, what enables a very young child to learn the mother tongue quickly and successfully The language acquisition device (LAD) in their head. [解析] (根据第二段The big question is...the individual has a machine in the head, an LAD (language Acquisition Device), that does the job for them.，可知小孩子能快速并成功地学会母语的原因是头脑中有语言习得装置。) 3. What do Newmark and Reibel say about L1 acquisition It is the quickest and most successful instance of language mastery that we know of. [解析] (根据第三段第二句Newmark and Reibel make the point that L1 acquisition is the quickest and most successful instance of language mastery that we know of. 可知，纽马克和瑞贝尔认为第一语言习得是目前所知最快、最成功的语言习得范例。) 4. What is the main distinction between language acquisition and language learning The process of the former is natural and subconscious while the process of the latter is conscious. [解析] (第四段第三句Acquisition first: he describes this process as a "natural", subconscious one, where there is no "conscious focusing on linguistic forms" (of the sort that you find in most classrooms). 指出了语言习得的特点。最后一段第一句Learning, on the other hand, is a conscious process, and it usually takes place in the language classroom. 指出了语言学习的特点。) 5. What are the two characteristics of learning according to Stephen Krashen Error correction and rule isolation. [解析] (最后一段明确说明了语言学习的两个特点，一是老师在课堂上会纠正学生的语言错误，二是会学习语言使用的规则。) Section D
Most works of art are kept indoors, in a gallery, private home, office building, or museum. One category of artwork, fashioned to be on display outdoors, defies such cloistering. It is known as public art, and it is meant to be viewed easily by any passer-by. By definition, public art shapes the environment of a community. In recent decades, most supporters of public art have advocated a two-way relationship, in which the people of a community should shape public art as well.

North America provides excellent examples of the ways in which ethnicity shapes the impulse to create public art. Multiple and overlapping waves of immigration into the United States and Canada have ensured that any truly local art movement will draw subjects and styles from many traditions. The best of such art expresses what a given ethnic group has experienced in North America, not merely what their ancestors experienced in "the old country".
California"s Chicanos—descendants of immigrants from Mexico—have led the way in making public art that depicts an ethnic community"s interests. A critical aspect of this was the struggle by a predominantly Chicano labor union, the United Farm Workers (UFW), for better working conditions in California during the 1960s. To support the UFW"s efforts, highly accomplished Chicano artists in Los Angeles, in Sacramento, and elsewhere, placed posters, murals, and other politically charged works in public spaces. They drew attention as much for their beauty as for their message. After the UFW issue faded, the demand persisted for public art in the styles pioneered during the campaign. The complex murals that adorn sides of buildings throughout central and southern California, featuring elements of indigenous Mexican cultures mixed with scenes and symbols from Mexican-American life, carry the expression forward.
The Mural Arts Program (MAP) in Philadelphia has supported some of the most ambitious community-based public art in North America. In 1984, the MAP was launched as part of a campaign to fight a plague of graffiti in the city. In a novel approach to the problem, young people caught spraying graffiti on structures in Philadelphia were directed to MAP to work under professional muralists and produce murals that beautified neighborhoods rather than graffiti that defaced them. The MAP has since left its graffiti-busting past behind and has become an outlet for community expression.
Public sculptures in many North American cities express traditional and modern aspects of American-Indian life. For example, Marvin Oliver, whose ancestors include members of the Quinault Indian Nation in the Pacific Northwest, has fashioned several large public works. His Eagle Bearing Wealth is an eight-foot tall column of Douglas fir carved and painted to resemble a totem pole traditional among Indians of the Northwest Coast. It stands on the campus of North Seattle Community College in Seattle, Washington.
Countless other ethnic groups have left, and are leaving, their marks on North American public art. The stonemason TorkjelLandsverk erected beautifully textured ornamental walls and monuments in Iowa and Minnesota during the late 19th century and early 20th. While a modern eye might skip over them as just more examples of stodgy, old fixtures expressing little, they are anything but boring. Their rough-hewn character skillfully reflects an aesthetic appreciation for hard-to-tame nature among Norwegian-Americans in the Upper Midwest.

Write at least 100 words on the answer sheet . In general, both small engine sedans and SUVs in China increase consecutively from 2015 to 2020. But there are more small engine sedans than SUVs in China. In 2015, Chinese light vehicle engines of higher engine displacement. (1.4litre, 1.5litre and 1.6litre) account for more than half of the light vehicle engines in China and those of lower engine displacement make up 10%. In 2020, the percentage of light engines of higher engine displacement decreases to 42% while that of light engines of lower engine displacement rises to 27%. This demonstrates that China is making efforts to reduce the number of light vehicles of higher engine displacement. Ⅱ 1. Write on the following topic.

My experience of working in a fast food restaurant can be an instance. Once in a summer vacation, I worked in a fast food restaurant for about one month. From then on, I didn"t want to do a part-time job as a waiter anymore. I had to stand for nine or ten hours consecutively for a whole day, serving different customers with different temper. Despite the toil, the salary is low and I had to endure the abuse of rude customers. Jobs that demand low level of education and qualification are always tiring and frustrating. So from then on, I realized the importance of education and good academic ground. I know that I must improve my skills related to my major so that I can find a decent and highly-paid job in the future.
