On June 9

th

, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The

New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist…Will Be Remembered by the People…”

The headline was not overstating

（夸大）

the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the

British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable

characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels:

Oliver Twist

,

A Christmas

Carol

and

A Tale of Two Cities

.

A Tale of Two Cities

has sold more than 200 million copies. Since

1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations

（改编版本）

of Dickens' works.

A

Christmas Carol

alone has had nearly 50.

Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor

（文学教投）

who studies Dickens and his works.

She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that

Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects

（情感效果）

among

his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the

UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time.

A Christmas Carol

, for example, was

written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People

always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19

th

-century novelists wrote

entertaining

（娱乐的）

works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the

readers deeply.

Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen

to fight social

inequality

and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social

changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.

Have you ever seen a solar panel

（太阳能电池板）

in your neighborhood? Solar panels take

energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels

has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of

electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power

（给……供电）

their

homes.

However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy

days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time?

Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce

electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar

panel and then rolls

（滚动）

down, it creates friction

（摩擦力）

on the surface of the panel,

which can then be turned into electricity.

Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any

weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”

The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan

is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more

flexible

,

which are as soft as clothing.

The field of solar energy is developing fast. Scientists around the world have been improving

solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together.

Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels

（液体和气体燃料）

.

31. Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world?

A. Solar energy.

B. Water energy.

C. Wind energy.

32. What is one of the problems of common solar panels?

A. The price of them is rising.

B. They can’t work all of the time.

C. They can hardly power people’s homes.

33

Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful?

A. It has a larger size than a common one.

B. It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy.

C. It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy conditions.

34. What does the underlined word “

flexible

” mean in Paragraph 5?

.

A.

柔软的

B.

光滑的

C.

坚硬的

35. We can infer

（推断）

from this text that ________.

A. there is no room for developing solar energy

B. there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy

C. solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy

Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, is a must-have during holidays in Northern China.

It dates back to ancient times.

Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Since jiaozi is in the shape of

ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots

（银锭）

, it symbolizes wealth

（象征着财富）

.

Traditionally, the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year's Eve. They

may hide a coin in one of the dumplings. The person who finds the coin will be likely to have

good luck. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi in the

hope of having a good future in the coming new year.

Based on your taste, you can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different

fillings. There is no set rule as to what makes dumpling fillings. They can be anything from

vegetables, meat or seafood. Whatever the fillings are, the wrapping

（包）

skill needs to be

exquisite

（精美的）

to make jiaozi good-looking.

As China is a country with a vast territory

（幅员辽阔）

, there are differences in different

areas in ways of making jiaozi or even serving it. For example, dumpling wrappers are made with

a rolling stick in Beijing and Hebei province, while in some parts of Inner Mongolia, wrappers are

hand-pressed.

40. When did Chinese people probably begin to have jiaozi?

41. What does jiaozi symbolize?

42. Why do people choose to eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve?

43. Do people need to follow set rules to make dumpling fillings?
