Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to 36  the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of  37

and crime. He suffered enormous pain, 38  hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I 39  the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered  40   and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me  41  is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and  42   a new life.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 43  pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information 44  in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer  45  difficulty.

Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly  46  person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do  47  to both the people he has helped and himself.

36. A. open             B. exploit          C. expose       D. cover

37. A. honor       B. poverty          C. glory            D. imagination

38. A. such like        B. for example      C. such as          D. for instance

解析:

這是一篇《霧都孤兒》讀后感。作者分析了主人公的生活經(jīng)歷，最后得出結(jié)論：施舍于己于人便是施舍于己。正如諺語(yǔ)所說(shuō)的“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。

重點(diǎn)詞語(yǔ)鏈接：

be thrown into…    被投入…

be shocked by…    對(duì)…感到吃驚

to one’s relief      使某人欣慰的是

on the contrary     相反

be grateful to       感激

get gratified from    得到滿(mǎn)足

36. C  根據(jù)本句句子結(jié)構(gòu), 此處動(dòng)詞應(yīng)當(dāng)與前面的并列動(dòng)詞 reveal“揭露” 同義,expose表示滿(mǎn)意 “揭露,揭穿”,符合語(yǔ)境。open打開(kāi)；exploit開(kāi)發(fā)；cover覆蓋。

37. B  根據(jù)and crime 可知，要選的詞應(yīng)與crime同類(lèi)，再根據(jù)下文的hunger可推測(cè)，應(yīng)用poverty表示“貧窮”。honour恐懼；glory榮耀；imagination想象。

38. C   such as 后多接同類(lèi)并列的幾個(gè)名詞,不接句子; for example和for instance同義,它們后面常接句子,有時(shí)后面可接一個(gè)名詞。

39. D  此處用feel sorry for表示“同情”。look down upon輕視；make an apology for道歉；play a joke on戲弄。

40. D  根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知,此處應(yīng)該是與goodness意義相反的詞,因此只能用devil,表示 “邪惡”。kindness好心; carelessness粗心；relationship關(guān)系。

41. B  此處表示的意義為 “最吸引我的東西”,其原級(jí)形式為much,因此最高級(jí)為most。

42. A  此處表示 “開(kāi)始了新的生活”, 故選C。

43. B  根據(jù)下文的形容詞pure可知，此處應(yīng)用系動(dòng)詞，并且有“保持 ”的意思，故用remain。

44. B  此處為“暗含”之義，故用imply。contain含有；import進(jìn)口；add添加。

45. A  善行能戰(zhàn)勝一切困難。用every表示“所有的，一切的”。some某些，little很少，much很多。

46. B  由上文 “一個(gè)沒(méi)有善行的人”推斷用worthless,表示 “無(wú)價(jià)值的,無(wú)用的”。且下文中的“He who is with…and useful person”也有提示。gracious親切的；earnest真摯的；modest謙遜的。

47. C  根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知,此處表示 “對(duì)……有好處”,用。do justice to公平對(duì)待，適當(dāng)處理。

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' （1812-1870）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 modeled 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.”

The success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular. He suddenly found himself at twenty-four the most famous novelist of his day. Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time－Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers. He was particularly proud of Pickwick, which was a huge success and was regarded as a comedy (喜劇)masterpiece(杰作). “If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am proud of Pickwick Papers,” he said.

It has been said of Dickens that he grasped（抓住）the imagination of his readers because his imagination grasped himself. The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry. When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer(做壞事的人), had been hanged.

Dickens’ marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine children, ended unhappily in 1858. He started to travel about giving readings of his works. His interest in theater gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage. A tiring travel to the United States affected his health. On June 9, 1870, when he was working on a new novel, he died, as he had wished. He said he wanted to die working.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870), the great nineteenth century English novelist, was born near Portsmouth. His father ran heavily into debt and when he was twelve, he had to go and work in a factory for making boot polish. The only formal education he received was a two-year schooling at a school for poor children. In fact, he had to teach himself all he knew. He worked for a time as junior clerk in a lawyer’s office. After that, he worked as a reporter in the law courts, and later in parliament, for London newspapers. His career as a writer of fiction began in 1833 with short stories and essays in periodicals, and in 1837 his comic novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England.

He was a great observer of people and their places because he was attracted by life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a realistic picture of all classes of England society, showing deep sympathy for the poor and unfortunate, exposing the injustice and inhumanity（不人道） of the bourgeoisie（資產(chǎn)階級(jí)）.

Many of his novels like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago.
