Fairy Tales for All the World
This year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of Danish author Hans
Christian Andersen with a wide range of events.
　　Andersen's tales have attracted millions of readers for more than a century. They continue to be among the best-known works of world literature. "The Ugly Duckling （小鸭）" and "The Little Mermaid （美人鱼）" are among the most famous.
　　He was born on April 2， 1805， in the slums of Odense， Denmark. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washer-woman. Andersen received very little education， but his fascination with fairy tales inspired him to compose his own stories and arrange puppet （木偶） shows.
　　His father died when he was 11. He was forced to go to work， first as an apprentice to a weaver and tailor and then in a tobacco factory. At the age of 14， he moved to Copenhagen to try a career as a singer， dancer and actor. He sang in a boy's choir （合唱团）， but he made very little money. He also tried the ballet， but his awkwardness made this impossible.
Finally, when he was 17, Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theatre in
Copenhagen discovered Andersen. After hearing Andersen read a play, Collin realized that he had talent. And he got money from the king for Andersen's education.
In 1828, Andersen passed the entrance examinations to the university in
　　Copenhagen. His writings were first published in 1829. In 1833， he received grant money for travel， which he used to visit Germany， France， Switzerland， and Italy. These journeys were recorded in his travelogues （旅行见闻）。 In 1835， Andersen published "Fairy Tales for Children，" which contained four short stories. He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales. They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.
Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well. He used very simple language and style to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.
Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems. He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.

　　第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
　　下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
　　第一篇 Is the Tie a Necessity？
Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties?
Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.
　　In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities （知名人士） without ties， which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party-almost every social occasion.
But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.
　　The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a "band". The term could mean anything around a man's neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰） impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exiled （流放） to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660， he brought this new fashion item along with him.
It wasn't, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then, clubs military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 19th century. After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.
But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.
　　31 The tie symbolizes all of the following except
