20.THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire,England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century.One of them is Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte.
The Bronte family had three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816,Emily was born in 1818and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.The ehildren wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely self-educated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls took positions as teachers or taught ehildren in their homes.The girls were determined to earn money for Branwell's sart education.
As children,the girls had all written many stories.Charlotte alone wrote 22books,each with 60to 100pages of small handwriting.Therefore,they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily,Wuthering Heights; and Anne,Agnes Grey.After much difficulty,Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商),but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.( It was not published until 1859.) However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two,however,did not do so well.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book,and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853.In 1854she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.

59.What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?B
A.Help him write stories.
B.Help him get trained in art.
C.Teach him how to draw well.
D.Teach him how to educate himself.
60.We know from the text thatA
A.Jane Eyre was published in 1847
B.Charlotte Bronte wrote 22books in all
C.the Bronte sisters received good education
D.the father helped his daughters with their writing
61.The underlined words"the other two"in Paragraph 4refer toC.
A.Shirley and Villette
B.The Professor and Agnes Grey
C.Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights
D.The Professor and Wuthering Heights
62.What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?B
A.Their novels interested few publishers.
B.None of them lived longer than 40years.
C.Emily was the least successful of the three.
D.None of them had more than two books published.

分析 本文叙述了约克郡是19世纪英国两部著名小说的背景,这两部分别是夏洛蒂布朗特的《简爱》和艾米丽布朗特的《呼啸山庄》.布朗特一家有三个女儿和一个儿子,她们三姐妹都是自学成才的,为了供Branwell上艺术学院,她们靠写小说挣钱养家.最后Charlotte Bronte写的《简爱》等相继出版.

解答 59.B细节理解题.根据The girls were determined to earn money for Branwell's art education.布朗特姐妹下定决心挣钱来供Branwell 接受艺术教育,故选B.
60.A细节理解题.根据Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
《简爱》出版于1847年,故选A.
61.C词义猜测题.根据Emily,Wuthering Heights; and Anne,Agnes Grey.Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商),but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book.因为这里叙述的是Emily和Anne的书,除了《简爱》就只剩下Emily写的Wuthering Heights及Anne写的Agnes Grey,故选C.
62.B细节理解题.根据Anne in 1820及Anne died in 1849.Anne活了29岁;Emily was born in 1818及But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.Emily活了32岁,故选B.

点评 在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机,事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西.

8.Are you stressed out,scared or worried all the time?Do you avoid going to certain places,seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries?Do your worries keep you awake at night?If you've answered yes,you may be suffering from anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life.Anxiety is your brain's way of telling you about danger.It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you.But if it gets out of hand,anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem.If this is the case for you,treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
Anxiety is a normal part of life.Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations.There are lots of reasons for this.One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life.So,if you are involved in a car crash,it's quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
Being anxious also probably runs in families.If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too.This is probably partly due to genetics,and partly because of how things are when you're growing up.
Even though people don't talk about it much,anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems.About 1in 4people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.
If you have an anxiety problem it's hard for other people to understand why something that doesn't worry them,like being in a crowd of people,can be so scary for you.This can make you feel separated and lonely,as may become worse and worse.
The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety.These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.

67.Which of the following statements is true about,anxiety?C
A.With anxiety you are far away from traffic accidents.
B.It's abnormal for people to get too anxious after a stressful thing.
C.Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations.
D.When you feel stressed out,scared or worried,you are surely suffering from anxiety.
68.Which of the following reasons for anxiety is NOT mentioned in the passage?A
A.Illness.            B.Experience.
C.Genetics.           D.Environment.
69.What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraph in the passage?B
A.Anxiety is the most common mental health problem.
B.Those suffering from anxiety need others'understanding badly.
C.About a quarter of the population are suffering from anxiety now.
D.Once you suffer from anxiety,you'd better seek for medical treatment.
70.The author will most probably talk aboutC following this passage.
A.what is about anxiety          B.what causes anxiety
C.how to handle anxiety          D.when anxiety becomes serious.
