B. A write with enduring popularityC. Well-received creation to encourage Brits
D. The insight into human natureE. Writing styles in different stages
F. The story appreciate for school studentsZxxk61.[来源:ZXXK]Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of
England's great writers. Yet for many his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. Why, Dickens, out of so many other great English writers, has made the list? How then to explain Dickens's enduring popularity?62.One reason undoubtly is the British government's insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside Willian Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory (必读的)writer on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by today's standard,are superbly written moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.[来源:Z。xx。k.Com]63.But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickens's books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about readers'own time.64.　　The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect story to illustrate the bad times. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to, during the economic crisis last year, to make sense of world rapidly falling apart.65.Readers of the 19th and early 20th century usually prized Dickens's earlier novels for their humor and pathos(悲痛). While recognizing the virtues of these books, critics today tend to rank more highly the later works because of
their formal coherence and acute perception(洞察力) of the human condition. For as long as Dickens's novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain's best loved writers.第三部分 写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节 单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。66.

Some students in my group agree to this suggestion. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, which are used to make textbooks. And it can also save plenty of family expenses. For another, in western countries, recycling textbooks is very popular and it gives us a good example. But some have different opinions about it, for the content of the textbooks are often renewed. What's more, it is not proper to make notes in the textbooks.But in my opinion, this is a wonderful idea because this will do good to both the government and the families.附件1：律师事务所反盗版维权声明附件2：独家资源交换签约学校名录（放大查看）学校名录参见：http:///wxt/list.aspx?ClassID=3060
