A. the protection of different cultures B. the plan of an open-air market C. the request of merchants D. the attitude of shoppers 答案 41.B 42.B 43.B 44.A Passage 5 (南昌市南昌二中高三冲刺模拟考试C篇) Misery and setbacks are not always as terrible as one imagines.Hard times can offer new ways of looking at life that would otherwise never be known.And, if you are a writer, this can be the source of much of your success. Popular British author, Charles Dickens' family could hardly make ends meet .They could only afford to send one of their six children to school. Dickens was not that child. His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy.Then at the age of 12, Dickens' life took another turn for the worse. His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts.And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory.His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing. His father was freed three months later and inherited a small amount of money.Dickens was then sent to school. From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories.Thus the "Pickwick Papers" (), came into being, which brought fame to the 23-year-old man. Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels.He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in "Oliver Twist" (), the French Revolution in "Tale of Two Cities", and social reform in "Hard Times" ().He also wrote "David Copperfield" (), a book thought to be based on his own life. "I do not write bitterly or angrily: for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am," he once said. His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career.There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist. Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success. "Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort," he once wrote. On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work.The words on his tombstone read: "He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed , and by his death, one of England's greatest writers is lost to the world." 查看更多

Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries. “Toronto is truly multicultural,” he said in a newspaper interview. “It’s a city from many places, and multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”

Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. “Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.

Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year, with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city’s Executive committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto’s rich variety of national groups, “whose customs include market shopping.”

Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. “A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it,” Salvatori said. “At first it would be an experiment. But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as tourist attraction.”

41. What is Fidenzio Salvatori’s purpose of having an outdoor marketplace for Toronto?

A. To provide different forms of amusement.  B. To keep the cultural variety of the city.

C. To inspire its immigrant community.       D. To satisfy its immigrant merchants.
