Strongest Female Literary Characters of All Time
There are some of history’s most inspiring and great females who can be found on the pages of these novels.
Elizabeth Bennet
Called “Lizzie” or “Eliza” by her family and friends,Elizabeth Bennet is the stubborn and clever heroine from the 1813 Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice.She’s the second eldest of five daughters in the Bennet family,and like the rest of her sisters,she is expected to marry for status and money,not for love.To remain true to herself,she would rather remain single,a concept that was unheard at that time.
Nancy Drew
She first appeared in the 1930s but remains one of the most iconic female characters in all of literature.Created by Edward Stratemeyer,Nancy Drew wasn’t simply a pretty girl.Instead,the bold,physically strong,and fiercely intelligent Nancy used her superior intelligence—not her looks—to solve a series of mysteries.
Josephine March
Jo March is the second eldest daughter in the March family and is a central focus in the novel Little Women,published by Louisa May Alcott in 1868.At 15,she is strong-willed,confident,and literary and unlike her sisters.She is outspoken and uninterested in marriage.Jo both struggles with and challenges society’s expectations of how women in the 19th century should carry themselves,making her one of literature’s most daring female characters.
Hester Prynne
Recognized by some critics as one of the most important characters in female literature,Hester Prynne is the leading character in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1850 novel,The Scarlet Letter.Married but separated by distance from her husband,Hester has an affair with a minister and becomes pregnant.

To fight for the conservation of forest ecosystem,several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro,an orange juice producer,to donate part of their forestland to a national park.In return,Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orange peels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost.Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill,so the proposal was very attractive.
But a year later,another juice company challenged the deal in court,arguing that their competitor was “polluting a national park”.They ended up winning,and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.
Then in 2013,while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer,Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange peel story.Feeling interested,Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier.What he found shocked him.
“While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields,I’d have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vines(藤) in the orange peel site itself,”said Timothy Treuer.
Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples(样品),analyzing and comparing them.They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not.The area with orange waste had richer soil.
The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting(施肥),but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange “ruined” a national park and stopped it from going forward.Now that Timothy Treuer’s study has received worldwide attention,this type of “ruining” is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.
【语篇解读】本文是科普知识类阅读。主要讲述了橘子皮对土壤的积极作用。
5.What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?
A.Add them to fuel. B.Feed them to animals.
C.Burn or bury them. D.Make them into cakes.
C
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill...attractive”可知,之前处理橘子皮一般要烧掉或掩埋掉。答案为C项。
6.What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?
A.It lasted 15 years. B.It was signed by Treuer.
C.It was made in about 1998. D.It was broken by Del Oro.
C
推理判断题。根据第三段“Then in 2013,while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer,Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange peel story.Feeling interested,Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier.”可以推出,15年前Del Oro与national park达成协议,由此计算具体应该是在1998年,所以答案为C项。
7.What was Treuer’s finding?
A.Orange peels contain much fibre.
B.Orange peels can make soil richer.
C.Orange peels rot away in a short time.
D.Orange waste ruined the national park.
B
细节理解题。根据第五段“They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not.The area with orange waste had richer soil.”可知,他们发现被倾倒过橘子皮的土地更肥沃,所以答案为B项。
8.What is the author’s attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?

C.Worried. D.Admirable.
A
推理判断题。根据最后一段“...but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange ‘ruined’ a national park and stopped it from going forward.”可知,这位法官认为橘子皮毁坏了公园的发展,而作者在文章最后一句话“this type of ‘ruining’ is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.”中指出,研究表明,橘子皮实际上使森林恢复了生机,所以作者不赞成法官的观点。答案为A项。

参考范文
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Internet has transformed the world into a global village,altering all aspects of our life,especially education.Here,I am writing to share my thoughts on its positive effect as well as negative one.
The most obvious advantage lies in the wide choice of courses.Learners can have access to the courses tailored for personal needs,regardless of time and space.As a result,learning occurs in such an efficient way that gaining knowledge is easier than ever.
The downside is just as noticeable.Along with individualized courses,the Internet presents half-truths that puzzle the young minds where self-control and judging power are still forming.
Therefore,I strongly suggest that the use of the Internet should be under supervision of adults.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
