Many authors Have become masters of a particular genre (类型) of fiction,but very few can claim to have had such an effect that they created a genre themselves. One such author is J. R. R. Tolkein. He created not only Middle Earth,the stage for his giant fantasy The Lord of the Rings,but also a whole genre of fantasy fiction.
Tolkein's distinctive contribution was to create a wonderful world and populate it with wise wizards,bold (大胆自信的) knights,and a lot of other characters,including dwarfs. He also created his own contribution,the hobbit. Hobbits were small people,who had distinctive hairy feet. They were characterized by honest common sense and rather complex social lives. In his work,it is evidently the hobbits with whom Tolkein sympathized the most.
What made Tolkein's work so fascinating was that it was a perfectly realized work of fantasy. Every detail in his stories rang true. This is because Tolkein spent so much time working and thinking about Middle Earth. His later books showed clearly to what extent he had created this entire world,complete with detailed maps and even the languages of the main characters.
It must be remembered that Tolkein was writing in a time when the First World War had just finished,and another was about to begin. In his book,he stressed the bravery and determination of the small people without whom victory was impossible. This was the lesson that Tolkein felt had to be learned from the horrors of the First World War 一 the decisions which shaped the fate of nations were made by the ruling class,but they were implemented (实施) by the common people of the country.
Though his book brought him worldwide fame,Tolkein continued to live modestly at Oxford University,where he worked. He was a close friend of another great writer of his day,C. S.Lewis,who also taught there. However,while Lewis was more relaxed about his fame,Tolkein never really got used to it,and he was quite embarrassed by the admiration of many tourists who came to see him.
9. What do we learn about ToIkein's work?
A. It was created in a hurry.
B. It was part of his scientific research.
. C. It was written to create new languages.
D. It showed a complete period that seemed true.
10. What does Tolkein believe in?
A. The great effects of war.
B. The certainty of victory.
C. The decisions of the ruling class.
D. The power of the common people.
11. What was the difference between Tolkein and Lewis?
A. They had different opinions about travel.
B. They worked at different universities.
C. They responded differently to fame.
D. They looked at modesty differently.
12. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce Tolkein's work and life.
B. To show Tolkein's important influences.
C. To explain the concept of Middle Earth.
D. To discuss the genre of fantasy fiction.

Like many boys of my age,I have a box filled with sports cards. But my brother,younger by ten years,is different from me. He was unwilling to go into the sports card shop with me. I couldn't believe the shocked look on his face when he saw some of the expensive offerings in the window display. He just couldn 51 appreciate the history behind the cards and the care taken to preserve them over the decades. For him,no piece of cardboard was worth any sum of money. He would rather have a video screen to distract him.
I appreciate the arguments in favor of television,computer games,and other electronic entertainment. The technology is dynamic and entertaining. There's indeed something for everyone. I also believe,however,that these new forms of entertainment have taken time away from “unplugged” fun. Instead of simple storybooks,young children have interactive learning computers that read for them. When children aren't watching satellite television,they have computer games to entertain them. It seems to me that more and more of the joys of childhood are being lost to the appeal of the video screen.
Building up a sports card collection is a rewarding hobby for children and adults alike. It teaches quality lessons,such as patience and organization. For children,it develops a careftil mind. I remember how hard I tried to slide each card into a plastic sleeve without damaging their delicate comers. Nearly every weekend,there was a card show at the local mall where I learned to bargain and trade for cards. Collecting cards is a social activity too,encouraging young and old to swap cards and stories.
Today's electronic entertainment,however,keeps people apart and does little to benefit developing minds. I am concerned that this trend toward electronics will lead to less physical activity and less communication time. The younger generation needs to know that pleasure can also come from a simple hands-on hobby.
13. By saying “There's indeed something for everyone”,the author means .
A. everyone is able to enjoy “unplugged” fun
B. electronic entertainment is partly useful
C. technology is very important to everyone
D. new hobbies must be entertaining
14. The author finds that tdday's children .
A. have more “unplugged” fim
B. have more and more hobbies
C. spend too much time on screens
D. value their pocket money very much
15. Why does the author mention how he slid each card into a plastic sleeve?
A. To show how such a hobby can make children more careful.
B. To express his great interest in showing his cards.
C. To explain the difficulties of collecting cards.
D. To prove sports cards are very valuable.
16. What is the author worried about?
A. The fall of electronic entertainment.
B. The younger generation's challenges.
C. The negative influence of electronics.
D. The rising cost of the sports card collection.
