26、 once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her. His life with her was full of great happiness, as

27、 he wrote in his diary: “ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.” This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success

28、, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which qui

29、ckly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgeralds problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to

30、 reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to(沉迷于) alcoho

34、 concluding paragraph about . . A. Zeldas personal life B. Fitzgeralds contributions to the literary world C. Zeldas illness and treatment D. Grahams personalityC A Window Into the FutureShortly after its opening on the first day of Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began to gain momentum (展现强劲势

35、头). In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The films popularity and success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasnt been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change th

36、e embarrassing situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction. As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixins (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three B

37、ody Problem which is currently quite popular didnt have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I havent read much of any genre written in Chinese, but I do notice that there arent many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to scienc

38、e fiction. I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre. My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my br

39、ain.” Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part of the appeal. Things li

40、ke the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be tu

41、rned into a reality. The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scena

42、rios (设想) has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future.43.

43、t too much of the film before its release. B. It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has achieved success in the film industry. C.

46、out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.If youre the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on th

47、e negative aspect of a persons performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If Im painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, Id have any husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out

48、 what a careless painter I am.If youre on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task youre doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive

49、. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation. Its important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the tas

50、k at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.” One can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively imp

51、act his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK”.46. According to the author, todays people_.A. ignore the mistakes of othersB. focus on how to handle mistakesC. like to point out the mistakes of othersD. have a moral duty to point out others faults47.

54、B. What can you learn from criticism?C. Whats the best way to voice criticism?D. How to criticize and reply to criticism?第二节（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In todays Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim(令人沮丧的) days of the 19th century when so many of the population s
