Everyone loves Jane Austen’s novels- scientists, feminists, college freshmen, traditionalists, even readers
who think they don’t like fiction. After Shakespeare and perhaps Dickens, Austen is the most universally admired
writer in the English language. Her popularity is extraordinary when one considers that she deals with neither
death nor religion nor great moments in history. Her subject is courtship, and her stories all end the same way- in
happy marriage. Yet no one has ever accused Austen of being shallow or suggested that her novels appeal because
of their escapism. Quite the contrary- her work is usually characterized as wise, witty and realistic.
In many ways, Austen’s novels resemble Shakespeare’s comedies, which also end in marriage. Both the novels
and the comedies demonstrate how much human nature may be revealed within the confines of a circumscribed
environment and a limited plot. Like Shakespeare, Austen makes women her central characters. By using their wits
and their moral sensibilities as a substitute for the power they do not have, they bring about a desired end. This
element in itself - the success of the weak over the powerful - may account for some part of Austen’s
popularity.The greater part of Austen’s appeal, however, is rooted in her ability to combine the seemingly
incompatible qualities of romance and irony, engagement and detachment. Rational though she may initially
appear from the beauty of her balanced sentences, there is much in Austen’s work that is firmly rooted in the
realm of the feelings. Despite her elevation of civility, restraint, good manners, good sense, and duty, Austen’s
novels are essentially fairy tales-fantasies. They are grounded in realism and made credible by careful observation
and sound precepts of moral behaviour, but they are fantasies nevertheless.
Question 36: What is the best title for the passage?
A. Jane Austen’s life and work
B. American literature and novels
C. The attraction of Jane Austen’s novels

D. Jane Austen and Shakespeare

answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
We are descendants of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human existence for the
past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last ice age spurred one of the
most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet. During this interglacial time, people were caught up in
a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the
past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered
exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.
Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is even possible that
life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and
eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust. If too much carbon dioxide is lost, too much heat
escapes out into the atmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to spread across the land.
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the input of carbon
dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man, however, is upsetting the equation by burning fossil fuels
and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide. This energizes the greenhouse
effect and causes the Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough, the polar ice caps eventually melt.
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the ice caps melt, warm tropical
waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet.
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly because of the
melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6 feet by the next century.

This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human population lives. Delicate wetlands,
where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea. In addition, more frequent and severe
storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas.
The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice to crash into the
ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more than double the area of sea
ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. The cycle would then be
complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age.
