Absolutely Unputdownable Books You Have to Read
Flowers for Algernon
Daniel Keyes
If you’re seeking a pleasant read, try this short story by Daniel Keyes. He’ll show you how a person feels going from a simple cleaner at a bakery, whose IQ is less than 60, to a genius and the most intelligent person on the planet. In a situation like this, is it possible to overcome your fears and cope with loneliness? Keyes offers his answer to this question.
Orphans of the Sky
Robert A. Heinlein
A giant generation ship is sailing without guidance through the depths of the universe. Its passengers have long forgotten the outside world and believed in a pre-technological culture marked by superstition (迷信). This novel has brought Heinlein wide recognition, and will grasp you tight and won’t let you go for months (or even years) afterward. Are we, the digital generation, different from the passengers of that imaginary spaceship?
95 Pounds of Hope
Anna Gavalda
Adapted from the author’s own experience, this story is about the main things in life: choices we make, the power of love and devotion. The story of a thirteen-year-old boy who one day has to gather all his strength and courage and take a step towards adulthood proves once again that dreams do come true. After all, no matter how many pounds we have, we’re all trying not to lose hope.
A Certain Smile

And yes, it’s a real page-turner.

Ash Barty, the world’s No.1 women’s tennis player, shocked the sports world by announcing that she would leave the tennis court forever. Barty made the announcement in a video she made public on the social media site, Instagram. In the video she discussed her thoughts about retiring with her good friend Casey Dellacqua. Dellacqua, who is also a retired tennis player, used to be Barty’s doubles partner.
“I know how much work it takes to bring the best out of yourself as a professional tennis player,” she said. “It’s just I don’t have that in me anymore, 80 it’s times for me to put the bats down and go after other dreams.”
Even though she is only 25, Barty has been playing tennis for a long time. She started when she was four and turned professional when she was 14. For over two years, Barty has been ranked the world’s No.1 women’s tennis player. She has won 15 important women’s singles tournaments in the world in her career, not including some small-sized competitions. This includes three “Grand Slam” events—the biggest prizes in tennis. In 2019, Barty won the French Open. In 2021,she won Wimbledon. And this January, she won the Australian Open, becoming the first person born in Australia to win the Australian Open in 44 years.
Other tennis players retired when they were young. Some returned to the sport after a while. But very few players went out while they were No.1 While many other players support Barty’s decision, the majority of tennis fans see her move as a loss for tennis. Barty created a lot of interest in tennis and inspired many younger players to take up the sport. Barty said she knew some people wouldn’t understand her decision, but she’s okay with that. “I’ve given absolutely everything I can to this beautiful sport of tennis,” she said, “and I’m really happy with that.”
4. What was the shocking news to the sports world?
A. Barty’s excellence as a tennis player. B. Barty’s intention to retire from tennis.

D. She has to say goodbye to tennis due to injuries.
6. What achievement did Barty make in her tennis career?
A. She brought home at least fifteen medals in all.
B. She turned professional after she had played tennis for 14 years.
C. She was the only Australian who won the Australian Open.
D. She was first ranked the best woman tennis player five years ago.

For many years, school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.
However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as too expensive.
Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost.
8. What is the original purpose of field trips to cultural institutions?
A. To teach students useful skills in economics.
B. To make art culture accessible to every student.
C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D. To encourage parents to take their children there.
9. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?
A. The decrease in school funds.
B. Teachers’ generational differences.
C. Students’ demand for fun.
D. The lack of school funds.
10. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The change from an opportunity for learning to a treat for entertainment.
B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C. The switch from old generations to young generations.
D. The change from educational destinations to unique attractions.
11. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene?
A. Field trips ensure better future academic performance.
B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences.
C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D. Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了美国学生被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学生带来的好处及这些活动减少的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. (因此，你可以说，带学生进行实地考察是让每个人都能平等地接触自己的文化遗产的一种方式。)”可知，学校设置实地考察的目的就是为了让每个人都能平等地接触自己的文化遗产，接触到文化艺术。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. (最明显的原因是金融问题。由于对资金的需求越来越大，毕竟电脑和体育设施并不便宜，学校不得不在如何使用有限的资金方面做出艰难的选择。)”可知，实地考察数量减少的原因就是资金不足。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. (学校越来越多地将游乐园或体育赛事作为对学生的一种款待，而不是文化学习的机会。)”可知，学校让学生去游乐园或者参加体育活动进行娱乐，而放弃学习文化的机会。所以This shift指的是从一个学习的机会变成了一种娱乐。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. (阿肯色大学Jay Greene领导的一项研究发现，参观美术馆的学生大大提高了他们对艺术的了解和对艺术进行批判性思考的能力。他们还表现出更强的历史兴趣，未来更有可能参观文化场所。)”可知，学生们得到的回报就是更多的文化意识。故选D。
D
Australia’s wildfires tore through Australia this year (and many other years), burning down about 104,000 square kilometers of bushes, rainforests, and national parks as well as killing an estimate of more than a billion wild animals. Scientists fear some of the continent’s unique and colorful species may become extinct. Dr Alexandra Carthey from Macquarie University came up with the idea of cardboard homes for wildlife, giving them a fighting chance of survival after wildfires.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) ran an innovation challenge in order to restore species and landscapes, help them adapt to a changing climate and regenerate Australia after burning flames spread across much of the habitat. Funding from WWF will enable field trials of this unique idea of cardboard habitats for wildlife.
“Bushfires destroy vegetation where small animals hide,” Carthey told WWF. “Raptors (猛禽) arrive within minutes after a fire, while foxes can travel many kilometres towards fires because they know the hunting will be excellent. They come in and kill our native animals who almost have no place to hide on a burnt landscape.”
The cardboard shelters are six-sided pyramids, 60cm wide on each side and 60cm tall. They can be flat-packed, allowing for easy transportation from the factory to the wilderness. They have been designed as a safe house for wildlife such as possums, bush rats and reptiles, as well as smaller creatures such as insects. These shelters are biodegradable, with holes that allow light in so that vegetation can regenerate and eventually take over the site.
While environmentalists have always placed makeshift shelters in the form of logs and chicken wire structures, the solutions involve dragging heavy things around, damaging fire grounds and preventing bush regeneration. This initiative could also be used in South Africa, where many bird species are badly affected by fires.
12. What is a purpose of WWF’s innovation challenge in Australia?
A. To increase wildlife population.
B. To prevent wildfires from happening.
C. To protect natural habitats from being taken up.
D. To raise the public’s awareness about climate change.
13. How might wildfires affect small animals according to Carthey?
A. They make their habitats too hot to live in.
B. They force them to travel far to find food.
C. They expose them to hunting animals.
D. They take their lives with burning flames.
14. What is a problem with traditional makeshift shelters?
A. They have a short life.
B. They are non-biodegradable.
C. They look too obvious in the wild.
D. They are inconvenient to carry around.
15 What is the best title of the passage?
A. Innovative Wildlife Rescue Efforts.
B. Australian Lifesaving Cardboard Homes.
C. Wildlife Suffering From Wildfires in Australia.
D. Damages Caused by the Unprecedented Wildfires.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述澳大利亚野火之后，麦考瑞大学的Alexandra Carthey博士提出了为野生动物建造纸板屋的想法，这给了它们在野火后生存的机会。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) ran an innovation challenge in order to restore species and landscapes, help them adapt to a changing climate and regenerate Australia after burning flames spread across much of the habitat. (世界自然基金会（WWF）发起了一项创新挑战，以恢复物种和景观，帮助它们适应不断变化的气候，并在燃烧的火焰蔓延到大部分栖息地后使澳大利亚再生。)”可知，世界自然基金会发起这项创新挑战是为了增加野生动物的数量。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Bushfires destroy vegetation where small animals hide,” Carthey told WWF. (Carthey告诉世界自然基金会：“丛林大火破坏了小动物藏身的植被。”)”可知，大火破坏了小动物藏身的植被，使得它们更容易暴露给狩猎它们的动物。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While environmentalists have always placed makeshift shelters in the form of logs and chicken wire structures, the solutions involve dragging heavy things around, damaging fire grounds and preventing bush regeneration. (虽然环保主义者总是以原木和铁丝网结构的形式搭建临时避难所，但解决方案包括拖着重物四处走动，破坏火场，防止灌木再生。)”可知，传统的临时避难所随身携带不方便。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Australia’s wildfires tore through Australia this year (and many other years), burning down about 104,000 square kilometers of bushes, rainforests, and national parks as well as killing an estimate of more than a billion wild animals. Scientists fear some of the continent’s unique and colorful species may become extinct. Dr Alexandra Carthey from Macquarie University came up with the idea of cardboard homes for wildlife, giving them a fighting chance of survival after wildfires .(今年（以及其他许多年），澳大利亚的野火席卷了澳大利亚，烧毁了约104000平方公里的灌木丛、热带雨林和国家公园，估计造成超过10亿只野生动物死亡。科学家们担心，非洲大陆上一些独特多彩的物种可能会灭绝。麦考瑞大学的Alexandra Carthey博士提出了为野生动物建造纸板屋的想法，这给了它们在野火后生存的机会。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述澳大利亚野火之后，麦考瑞大学的Alexandra Carthey博士提出了为野生动物建造纸板屋的想法，这给了它们在野火后生存的机会。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后第选项中选出能填入空白处第最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Quiet a Complainer
Talking to a complainer can stress you out, but with the right tools you can lighten the mood for all.
___16___. Some complainers will stop if you change the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is caring much about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If you coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.___17___. Therefore, you can keep using it.
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you prove that you’re listening. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard so far and you know that I’ve got it?” Using “I” statements (“I’ve heard…”) rather than “you” statements shows that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down.___18___.
Challenge the person to act. When a complainer is always telling you about her latest problem, ask nicely what she’s done to improve it. That isn’t the usual direction that a complaining conversation takes.___19___.
Be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. ___20___. You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down---especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
A. Change the subject
B. Continue the subject
C. You don’t need an excuse to stop it
D. Therefore, you can keep complaining it
E. Hard as it may be, avoid saying the word “you”
F. However, this direction may help to shortly end a complaint
G. This method is especially effective on those who are mindlessly expressing
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以让所有人情绪都变得轻松，使抱怨者安静下来的方法。
【16题详解】
设空为该段主题句。根据后文“Some complainers will stop if you change the conversation in a direction that interests them.(如果你把谈话转向他们感兴趣的方向，一些抱怨者会停下来。)”可知，该段应是在阐述“改变话题会使抱怨的人停下来”。选项A“Change the subject”意为“改变话题”，可作本段主题句。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据后文总结句“Therefore, you can keep using it.(因此，你可以继续使用它。)”可知，该段提及的方法应是有效的，尤其是针对前文“If your neighbor is caring much about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If you coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.(如果你的邻居很在意电话客人，告诉她你接到一个老朋友的意外电话。如果你的同事在抱怨你的老板，问问他是否见过新员工。)”提及一些应对盲目表达的抱怨者，可知选项G“This method is especially effective on those who are mindlessly expressing(这种方法对那些盲目表达的人尤其有效)”复合语境，选项中“this method”与前文主题相呼应，“those who are mindlessly expressing”与前文举例相呼应。故选G项。
【18题详解】
设空句应是对前文的总结。根据前文“Using ‘I’ statements (‘I’ve heard…’) rather than ‘you’ statements shows that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down.(使用“我”(“我听说了……”)而不是“你”，表明你感兴趣，而不是试图让他/她闭嘴。)”可知，倾听者对于抱怨者的回应要更多的使用“我”式陈述，设空句应进一步总结此方法。选项E“Hard as it may be, avoid saying the word ‘you’(虽然很难，但要避免说“你”这个词)”是对前文的总结，“you”作为词汇复现，呼应前文话题，前后衔接紧密。故选E项。
【19题详解】
分析可知，该段话题为“Challenge the person to act.(挑战那个人去行动。)”，设空前文“That isn’t the usual direction that a complaining conversation takes.( 这不是抱怨对话的通常方向。)”提到这不是常规方向，因此设空句应呼应主题，与前文形成对比关系，强调该方法的可行性。选项F“However, this direction may help to shortly end a complaint(然而，这个方向可能有助于很快结束抱怨)”中“However”与前文形成转折关系，并进一步强调了该方法的“可行性”。故选F项。
【20题详解】
该段主题为“Be honest.(诚实)”，即，不需要借口。设空前文“When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.(当你有事情要做时，告诉抱怨者你必须缩短谈话。)”提到没有时间倾听抱怨，那么设空应与主题相呼应，表达“诚实”地干扰，选项C“You don’t need an excuse to stop it(你不需要借口来阻止它)”中“don’t need an excuse”与“Be honest”相呼应，与后文“You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on... (你可以简单地诚实，甚至说你需要向前看…… )”形成前后过渡关系。故选C项。

Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the river, my hook(鱼钩) hung ____31____ from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a ____32____. We tend to speak of the sorrows of childhood as matters of little importance ____33____ those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups keep the social customs and rules of conduct ____34____ the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The toy is broken, and the whole world ____35____ with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be ____36____, even by my uncle’s guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.

How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch ____38____!

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍唐恬和她创作的歌曲《孤勇者》。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你问一个人哪首歌是目前最流行的，答案一定是唐恬的《孤勇者》。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词write和被修饰的名词Lonely Warrior是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式，表示被动，作后置定语。故填written。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在另一个例子中，一位幼儿园老师将这首歌设置为警铃，当它开始播放时，正在打盹的孩子们立即醒来。分析句子结构和意思可知，alarm是可数名词单数，前面用不定冠词修饰，表示泛指，“一个”的意思，alarm的第一个因素是元音音素，用an。故填an。

【46题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：它不仅有动人的旋律，而且——更重要的是——它包含了感人的歌词，这些歌词很容易理解，激励孩子们克服他们在学习和生活中遇到的困难，实现他们的梦想。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查动词短语be easy to do sth.，意为“做某事很容易”。故填to understand。

【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个孩子在谈到这首歌时写道：“谁说英雄不能是普通的灵魂？当面对生活的风暴时，我会成为一个孤独的战士。”分析句子结构和意思可知，动作face是句子主语I主动发出的，用现在分词形式，表示主动，作状语。故填facing。
【49题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：29岁时，她正在享受她成功的事业，突然，她被诊断出患有癌症。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定句式be doing sth. when…，意为“正在做某事，这时突然……”。故填when。

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述作者和朋友皮特上周五在去上学的路上的经历。
【详解】1. 考查固定短语。句意：上周五，我在上学的路上经历了一些令人兴奋的事情。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定短语on one’s way to，意为“在某人去…的路上”。故在way后面加to。
2. 考查冠词。句意：我看到一张80元的钞票从一位老太太的口袋里掉了下来，我想提醒她。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要不定冠词，修饰后面的名词，表示泛指，“一个”的意思，80的第一个音素的元音音素，用an。故将the改为an。

5. 考查谓语动词。句意：见第4题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，谓语用一般过去时。故将am改为was。
6. 考查谓语动词。句意：那一刻，我的朋友彼得刚刚看到了发生的事情。分析句子结构和意思可知，表示“发生”是主动的动作，且happen无被动形式，要用过去完成时的主动形式。故将been删除。
7. 考查名词的数。句意：他捡起钞票，走向老太太，问她是否丢了一些钱。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里的“钞票”是指上文提到的那一张“80元的钞票”，所以用单数形式。故将notes改为note。
8. 考查谓语动词。句意：见第7题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词ask和前面的picked、went是并列的三个谓语动作，要用谓语动词形式，这句话描述的是过去的事情，用一般过去时。故将asking改为asked。
9. 考查代词。句意：老太太检查了一下口袋，发现那是她的钱。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里是指老太太，要用her。故将his改为her。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：得知整个过程后，她称赞了我们两个。分析句子结构和意思可知，动作learn在介词after后面作宾语，用现在分词形式。故将learn改为learning。
