　　[A] The first published sketch, "A Dinner at Polar Walk" brought tears to Dickens's eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine From then on his sketches, which appeared under the pen name "Boz" inThe Evening Chronicle, earned him a modest reputation.

　　[B] The runaway success of The Pickwick Papers, as it is generally known today, secured Dickens's fame. There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars, and the plump, spectacled hero, Samuel Pickwick, because a national figure.

　　[C] Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared, a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments, as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the then-famous artist Robert Seymour, who had originated the idea for the story. With characteristic confidence, Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour's pictures illustrate his own story instead. After the first installment, Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt, was not faithful enough to his prose. Seymour made the change, went into his backyard, and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide. Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist. The comic novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, appeared serially in 1836 and 1837 and was first published in book form in 1837.

　　[D] Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and, to many people, the greatest English novelist of the 19th century. A moralist, satirist, and social reformer, Dickens crafted complex plots and striking characters that capture the panorama of English society.

　　[E]Soon after his father's release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter's eye for transcribing the life around him, especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.

　　[F] Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England's southern coast. His father was a clerk in the British Navy Pay office -- a respectable position, but with little social status. His paternal grandparents, a steward and a housekeeper, possessed even less status, having been servants, and Dickenslaterconcealedtheirbackground.Dicken's mother supposedly came from a more respectable family. Yet two years before Dicken's birth, his mother's father was caught stealing and fled to Europe, never to return. The family's increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a shoe-polish factory, where the other working boys mocked him as "the young gentleman." His father was then imprisoned for debt. The humiliations of his father's imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dickens's greatest wound and became his deepest secret.He could not confide them even to his wife, although they provide the unacknowledged foundation of his fiction.

　　[G] After Pickwick, Dickens plunged into a bleaker world. InOliver Twist, he traces an orphan's progress from theworkhouse to the criminal slums of London. NicholasNickleby, his next novel, combines the darkness of Oliver Twist with the sunlight of Pickwick. The popularity of thesenovels consolidated Dickens' as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters.

　　41.【答案】F

　　【解析】排序題關鍵是收尾相接，要緊緊牢記大綱的考點“一致性和銜接性”。也就是要想選出下一題首先要確定上段的尾句在說什么，做到上一段的尾句和要選擇的段落首句銜接。41題取決于給出的首段D選線。D選項起到統領全文的作用，主要對狄更斯進以及他的作品進行了總體的評價和概括：狄更斯對于大多數人來說是英國知名的、偉大的小說家，他是一名道德家、諷刺家以及社會先驅者，他的小說情節曲折、人物性格鮮明，捕捉到了英國社會的全景。那么對于這類人物自傳式的文章，后面會先減少其生平。縱觀各選項，不難發現F選項首句出現Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England's southern coast，各位考生要把握was born出生這個關鍵詞。因此，41題選擇F選項。

　　42.【答案】E

　　【解析】要想做出42題，關鍵是理解41題F選項，尤其是F選項的后面一部分。我們認真研讀F選項的后半段一直在介紹狄更斯童年經歷中他父親所起到的作用，介紹他的父親由于債務被關進了監獄，這給狄更斯帶了羞恥感以及后面他在黑工廠做工的經歷對他性格的行程都起到了很大的作用。于是我們瀏覽各選項首句，發現E選項開頭Soon after his father's release from prison，出現了很關鍵的線索詞，即他的父親被釋放后，因此E可以接在4題F選項的后面。所以，42題選擇E選項。

　　43.【答案】A

　　【解析】43題取決于42題E選型的尾句，E選項的前半句說狄更斯找到了一份文職的工作，最后一句是At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter's eye for transcribing the life around him, especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines，大概意思說他開始用語言記錄周圍的人和生活，尤其是幽默的和奇怪的，形成了一些雜志magazine 中基本的素材梗概sketches，瀏覽各選項的首句，很容易發現A選項的首句The first published sketch, "A Dinner at Polar Walk" brought tears to Dickens's eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine From then on his sketches,考生會發現復現詞magazine 和sketches。因此，42題選擇A選項。

　　44.【答案】C

　　【解析】44題取決于43題A選項的尾句，A選項的尾句說道狄更斯用"Boz"這個筆名開始發表文章，并且小有名氣，瀏覽各選項首句，會發現C選項的首句出現了Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared，這里我們會發現他的筆名，原詞復現，因此，44題選擇C選項。

　　45.【答案】G

　　【解析】45題還剩最后一個選項G，我們要驗證一下G選項是否適合放在最后一段，用什么來驗證呢?利用給定的上一段B選項。取決于B選項的尾句，看其是否能與G選項的首句銜接。B選項的尾句在講狄更斯說的成功，以及他的小說中的人物匹克威多帶來的影響和效應。而不難發現G選項的首句復現了Pickwick，而且還有一個時間線索詞after。因此，45題選擇G選項。
