华中师范大学龙岗附属中学2021级高三上学期12月月考 英语学科试题 时间：120分钟 分值：130分 一、阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day. The House on Mango Street Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It’s a rapid read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it still deals with complex themes and important subject matters including language, race, ageing and troubles. The Midnight Library The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It’s 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely double in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life. The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this another effective first read in one day. The novel is set in London in the 1920s and follows the life of another writer, Jade Yeo. There is even enough time for readers to appreciate a film adaptation of the book after reading it. Stardust The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer’s fantasy stylings at their best, Stardust, which became a major motion picture, sits at 256 pages.
