She strongly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book. In Mollie's opinion, it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing This love of telling stories goes back to early childhood. 'I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at dealing with them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense, Mollie dear, you'll be a writer." Since she was a good teacher and had great ability, I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer. This childhood ambition is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots. Although the novel was written in the third person, it gave a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her efforts towards its success. To this day, Mollie has a lively love for children. "If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children." She believes children are much more interesting company and always have something new.' D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，用听到的单词完成下列句子。每空格限填一词） (10分) Are you interested in world records? Do you want to know who the oldest person is in the world? Or the largest cake? Or the heaviest newspaper? Well, if you do, you can find all the answers from a fancy book: the Guinness Book of World Records. The idea for this book started from an argument. Hugh Beaver worked for Guinness Company in Britain. One day he went out for a walk with his friends. When some birds flew across the sky, he said they were the fastest birds in the world. Nobody agreed with him. He made a bet with his friends. The next day, he tried to solve the problem by reading some books in a library. He was disappointed because none of the books had the information he needed. He suffered a heavy loss, but came up with a good idea: if his company could publish such a book with all the world records, it was sure that he could make a lot of money. Everything was hard at the beginning. Beaver had great difficulty in collecting the unusual records. But when the first Guinness Book came out in 1955, it sold like hot cakes. In fact, his book remained (保持) one of the best sellers for many years. 1—5 FACBD 6—10 BACCB 11—15 FTFFT 16. answers, World 17. agreed with 18. disappointed, publish 19. difficulty collecting 20. in 1955 21—35 ACAAC CADCA DBBBD 36—43 CAEB CEAD surveys, ourselves, fifties, rebuild, improving, educational, greatly, satisfying Are, many, How long, serious enough, are told, If aren’t/ Unless are, aware of The greenhouse effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and flood the cities. 59—64 BDADCA 65—70 DCABCB Whether, including, even, spending, free, senses, notice 78.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12分) One of America’s best-known and most-loved authors is Louisa May Alcott. She wrote poems, plays, short stories, and books. For over a hundred years, her works have been popular among both adults and children. How did Alcott become a famous writer? Born in 1832, Alcott grew up in Massachusetts with her three sisters. When she was very young, she loved to write. She would think up wonderful stories that she turned into plays. Alcott and her sisters acted out the dramas. Alcott always played the most exciting parts: ghost, bandits, and evil queens. She also loved playing and wandering outdoors. In fact, she was considered quite a “tomboy”. In those days, girls were expected to be ladylike, which meant mostly sitting around looking pretty. This was not Alcott’s way! She once said that no boy could be her friend until she had beaten him in a race. Girls had to climb trees and leap fences with her if they wanted to be her friends. Alcott’s family was poor. At age fifteen, Alcott decided to help out. However, it was not easy for women to find work in the 19th century. Alcott worked at any job she could find. She took care of children, she taught, and she washed laundry for other people. Alcott’s love of writing was always an important part of her. She wrote from her own life experiences and from her imagination. During the Civil War, Alcott volunteered to work as a nurse. She wrote about this work in her book Hospital Sketches. She also wrote thrillers (惊悚小说) that were full of suspense. When her publisher asked her to write a book for girls, Alcott turned to her own life. It was then, in 1868, that she wrote what was to become her most popular book, Little Women. The novel is set in New England during the Civil War. It tells the story of four sisters growing up. The family is very similar to the Alcotts. The book’s main character, Jo, is based on Alcott herself. Like Alcott, Jo is a determined young woman with a mind of her own. The book was an instant success. It is still popular today and has been made into a movie. Alcott also wrote children’s books with boys as the main characters. This was the case in two other Alcott books, Little Men and Jo’s Boys. Early in her career someone once told Alcott that she should give up writing and “stick to teaching”. It is lucky that Alcott paid no attention to this misguided person. She knew what she wanted to do with her life and she did it! 78. Alcott’s family lived a poor life, didn’t they? 79. What did “to be ladylike” mean in the 19th century? 80. How could the girls be Alcott’s friends? 81. Who asked Alcott to write a book for girls? 82. When and where is the novel Little Women set? 83. What kind of person do you think Alcott was? (two adjectives) Why? Ⅶ.
