Teenage years are an unforgettable season of life and books read at that time also make a difference. Much like the best children’s books ever written, these following top teen-centered books offer hope for the future and nostalgia for young life.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Because of cancer, protagonist (主人公) Hazel Lancaster believes her life is over. But then she meets Augustus Waters, and the way he makes her laugh-the way he makes her feel seen-makes her want to live again. The Fault in Our Stars will attract young adults with themes of life and death, true love, and friendship that surpasses circumstances. This book is especially worth reading if you love sad books.
Dune by Frank Herbert
A science fiction novel for the ages, Frank Herbert’s Dune tells the adventures of Paul Atreides — who will become known as Muad’ Dib — as he and his family strive to bring humankind’s greatest dream to life while living on a desert planet. Though written in 1965, much of Dune’s story may be more relevant to 21st century readers than it was to bookworms who picked it up in the 1960s.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
In this classic book, Bilbo Baggins is summoned on a great adventure that will change his life forever. With themes of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and more, The Hobbit is an adventure waiting to happen for those willing to experience the dangerous business of stepping into the story.
Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
This collection of classic mystery novels was actually written by various authors under the pen name of Carolyn Keene. Over the past few decades, Nancy has evolved with the times — to the point where she’s now using a cell phone to investigate her never-ending mysteries. Today, Nancy is attracting a whole new generation of fans, thanks to a television show launched in 2019.

Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxing and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters.
Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets.
Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s history and culture.
Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms, generating thousands of followers. Their posts usually include the time of the walk, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.
Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide told the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with (融入) the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers.
Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, thought Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. “People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other,” he said.
4. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?
A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The equipment.
5. Why does Nan Xi think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk?
A. Because it is a perfect place to run shops.
B. Because it provides great experiences in many ways.
C. Because there are great things to do at weekends.
D. Because ideal couples and friends often gather there.
6. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk?
A. She thought it well worth a try.
B. She went on the tour without company.
C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.
D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.
7. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism.
B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.
C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular.
D. Military-style travel has an advantage over Citywalk.
C
Researchers Jayne Spiller and Camilla Gilmore at the Center for Mathematical Cognition, University of Loughborough, U.K., have investigated the intersection of sleep and mathematical memory. They investigated whether learning complex multiplication problems before sleep would benefit recall compared to learning them during wakefulness to understand how sleep affects the memory of mathematical facts, specifically multiplication tables.
The study involved 77 adult participants aged 18 to 40 from the U.K. Each participant learned complex multiplication problems in two conditions: before sleep (sleep learning) and in the morning (wake learning). Participants completed online sessions where they learned new complex multiplication problems or were tested on previously learned material. Learning sessions included both untimed and timed trials.
Participants had better recall in the sleep learning condition than in the wake learning condition, with a moderate effect size. Even when participants had varying learning abilities, the sleep learning condition showed a beneficial effect on recall. Mathematical proficiency of the participants, as measured by accuracy in simple multiplication problems, was associated with learning scores but not with the extent of sleep-related benefit for recall.
The authors suggest that sleep conferred the additional benefit on recall compared with learning during the daytime, which possibly takes place due to a lack of continued external inputs.
Asleep, the brain may be locking in the new learning because it has no other competition. In contrast, an awake brain may be confronted with conversations, the media reading or viewing and even other classes packed with learning material. This competition for memory encoding in the waking brain could be the cause of the memory differences seen in the study.
8. What does the underlined word “intersection” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Combination. B. Connection. C. Selection. D. Similarity.
9 What can we learn from the article?
A. Sleep after learning can improve the recall ability.
B. Enough sleep can help children learn math efficiently.
C. Sleep after learning can solve many difficult learning problems.
D. Sleep has a positive effect on the recall of the multiplication problems.
10. Why does sleep have an added benefit to recall?
A. Sleep positively affects the memory of mathematical facts.
B. Learning during the daytime lacks continued external inputs.
C. People can remember the multiplication tables accurately through sleep.
D. The new learning has no other competitors, and it can be locked by the brain.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A book review.
C. An academic magazine. D. A historical document.
D
Lisa Park, 48, was suffering from gall bladder cancer, a rare but serious condition that usually only affects people in old age. “I was given a year to live,” said Park. It was a severe diagnosis, yet her prospect has recently taken an unexpected turn for the better.
Park was recently asked to join a revolutionary UK research programme known as Determine. It has been set up to target individuals with rare tumors (肿瘤) in the hope that drugs licensed for other disease could be appropriated as a new treatment.
“By definition, rare cancers are uncommon,” said one of the project’s leaders, oncologist (肿瘤学家) Matthew Krebs of Manchester University.” However, there are so many that in total they represent around 20% of all cancers diagnosed globally each year — more than any single type of cancer including lung and breast cancer.” Rare cancers’ total impact on the health service is therefore significant but there are few treatments currently available to help patients.
Determine has been set up to find if drugs that are already prescribed by doctors for more common types of cancer could benefit patients with rare cancers for which they have not been licensed. The study is led by Manchester University and involves several other leading medical centres in the UK. The ultimate aim is to match old drugs to new cancers. The crucial point is that scientists have discovered some very rare tumours possess abnormalities that could make them susceptible to treatments developed for common cancers. “We will be able to fast track the approval of any promising drugs, opening the door to treatments for patients who have been left with limited options,” said Iain Foulkes, director of research and innovation at Cancer Research UK.
The approach has already produced promising results for Park. “I know I still have a journey ahead of me but my cancer has been reduced to manageable tumors, and that has been a very welcome outcome,” said Park.
12. Why was Determine set up?
A. To develop new drugs for common cancers. B. To treat people with lung and breast cancer.
C. To deal with a general cancer research further. D. To target rare tumors and find new treatments.
13. How does the programme plan to do with rare cancers?
A. Develop completely new drugs. B. Offer financial assistance for the research.
C. Use drugs available for common cancers. D. Provide more professional care for patients.
14. What does the underlined phrase “susceptible” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hard. B. Sensitive. C. Unaffected. D. Different.
15. What’s the attitude of Park towards the treatment?
A. Optimistic. B. Uncertain. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

After being busy for half a year, my parents decided to drive me to a scenic spot outside the city to have fun. Joyfully, we planned our driving route.
Then, on a December Saturday morning, my dad started his car and we set off with great expectation. Before long, we left the noisy city and came to the mountains. There were few vehicles on the road and the trees alongside were pretty. We felt so excited!
As a few hours passed, we drove onto a narrow road. And minutes later, we found a river not far away from the road. The beach was very wide, and we wanted to have a rest there for a while. So my dad turned our car and drove towards it. Soon, we were driving on the sandy beach. Moments later, our car wheels were struggling in the increasingly soft sand. But my dad wanted to get closer to the river.
Before he regretted it, our car had got stuck in the sand. My dad tried to turn around or move back, but the car didn’t move. We were worried, trapped in the middle of nowhere. Even worse, it began raining and was cold. We got out of the car and tried to push it, but failed. After a couple of minutes, we were tired and our hair and coats were a little wet. But the car only sank further into the sand.
Anxiously, we walked to the road, eager to stop a vehicle and let it help pull our car out of the sand. Our coats and hair were wetter and wetter. Before the journey, we hadn’t prepared umbrellas or carried any food. Now, we were hungry and cold, standing in the rain. After waiting for a long time, there wasn’t one vehicle passing.
Just when we were helpless, we saw a farmhouse not far away. “Can they help us?” I asked. My dad was doubtful. Still, we reached there, and found it was a big family. They seemed poor and unfriendly. My dad told them our problem and begged them to help us pull our car out.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxing and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters.
Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets.
Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s history and culture.
Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms, generating thousands of followers. Their posts usually include the time of the walk, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.
Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide told the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with (融入) the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers.
Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, thought Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. “People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other,” he said.
4. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?
A. The transport. B. The cost. C. The purpose. D. The equipment.
5. Why does Nan Xi think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk?
A. Because it is a perfect place to run shops.
B. Because it provides great experiences in many ways.
C. Because there are great things to do at weekends.
D. Because ideal couples and friends often gather there.
6. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk?
A. She thought it well worth a try.
B. She went on the tour without company.
C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.
D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.
7. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism.
B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.
C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular.
D. Military-style travel has an advantage over Citywalk.

Researchers Jayne Spiller and Camilla Gilmore at the Center for Mathematical Cognition, University of Loughborough, U.K., have investigated the intersection of sleep and mathematical memory. They investigated whether learning complex multiplication problems before sleep would benefit recall compared to learning them during wakefulness to understand how sleep affects the memory of mathematical facts, specifically multiplication tables.
The study involved 77 adult participants aged 18 to 40 from the U.K. Each participant learned complex multiplication problems in two conditions: before sleep (sleep learning) and in the morning (wake learning). Participants completed online sessions where they learned new complex multiplication problems or were tested on previously learned material. Learning sessions included both untimed and timed trials.
Participants had better recall in the sleep learning condition than in the wake learning condition, with a moderate effect size. Even when participants had varying learning abilities, the sleep learning condition showed a beneficial effect on recall. Mathematical proficiency of the participants, as measured by accuracy in simple multiplication problems, was associated with learning scores but not with the extent of sleep-related benefit for recall.
The authors suggest that sleep conferred the additional benefit on recall compared with learning during the daytime, which possibly takes place due to a lack of continued external inputs.
Asleep, the brain may be locking in the new learning because it has no other competition. In contrast, an awake brain may be confronted with conversations, the media reading or viewing and even other classes packed with learning material. This competition for memory encoding in the waking brain could be the cause of the memory differences seen in the study.
8. What does the underlined word “intersection” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Combination. B. Connection. C. Selection. D. Similarity.
9. What can we learn from the article?
A. Sleep after learning can improve the recall ability.
B. Enough sleep can help children learn math efficiently.
C. Sleep after learning can solve many difficult learning problems.
D. Sleep has a positive effect on the recall of the multiplication problems.
10. Why does sleep have an added benefit to recall?
A. Sleep positively affects the memory of mathematical facts.
B. Learning during the daytime lacks continued external inputs.
C. People can remember the multiplication tables accurately through sleep.
D. The new learning has no other competitors, and it can be locked by the brain.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A book review.
C. An academic magazine. D. A historical document.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

Lisa Park, 48, was suffering from gall bladder cancer, a rare but serious condition that usually only affects people in old age. “I was given a year to live,” said Park. It was a severe diagnosis, yet her prospect has recently taken an unexpected turn for the better.
Park was recently asked to join a revolutionary UK research programme known as Determine. It has been set up to target individuals with rare tumors (肿瘤) in the hope that drugs licensed for other disease could be appropriated as a new treatment.
“By definition, rare cancers are uncommon,” said one of the project’s leaders, oncologist (肿瘤学家) Matthew Krebs of Manchester University.” However, there are so many that in total they represent around 20% of all cancers diagnosed globally each year — more than any single type of cancer including lung and breast cancer.” Rare cancers’ total impact on the health service is therefore significant but there are few treatments currently available to help patients.
Determine has been set up to find if drugs that are already prescribed by doctors for more common types of cancer could benefit patients with rare cancers for which they have not been licensed. The study is led by Manchester University and involves several other leading medical centres in the UK. The ultimate aim is to match old drugs to new cancers. The crucial point is that scientists have discovered some very rare tumours possess abnormalities that could make them susceptible to treatments developed for common cancers. “We will be able to fast track the approval of any promising drugs, opening the door to treatments for patients who have been left with limited options,” said Iain Foulkes, director of research and innovation at Cancer Research UK.
The approach has already produced promising results for Park. “I know I still have a journey ahead of me but my cancer has been reduced to manageable tumors, and that has been a very welcome outcome,” said Park.
12. Why was Determine set up?
A. To develop new drugs for common cancers. B. To treat people with lung and breast cancer.
C. To deal with a general cancer research further. D. To target rare tumors and find new treatments.
13. How does the programme plan to do with rare cancers?
A. Develop completely new drugs. B. Offer financial assistance for the research.
C. Use drugs available for common cancers. D. Provide more professional care for patients.
14. What does the underlined phrase “susceptible” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hard. B. Sensitive. C. Unaffected. D. Different.
15. What’s the attitude of Park towards the treatment?
A. Optimistic. B. Uncertain. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了叫做Determine的研究计划,该计划旨在将旧的药物与新的癌症相匹配,利用针对常见癌症的药物来治疗罕见的肿瘤患者。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It has been set up to target individuals with rare tumors (肿瘤) in the hope that drugs licensed for other disease could be appropriated as a new treatment.(它的目标是患有罕见肿瘤的个体,希望获得其他疾病许可的药物可以作为一种新的治疗方法)”可知,以罕见肿瘤为目标,寻找新的治疗方法使Determine被设立。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Determine has been set up to find if drugs that are already prescribed by doctors for more common types of cancer could benefit patients with rare cancers for which they have not been licensed.(Determine的设立是为了发现医生已经为更常见的癌症开出的药物是否对尚未获得许可的罕见癌症患者有益)”可知,Determine项目计划用治疗常见癌症的药物应对罕见癌症。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The ultimate aim is to match old drugs to new cancers.(最终目标是将旧的药物与新的癌症相匹配)”以及后文“We will be able to fast track the approval of any promising drugs, opening the door to treatments for patients who have been left with limited options(我们将能够快速追踪任何有希望的药物的批准,为那些选择有限的患者打开治疗的大门)”可知,最终目标是用旧的药物来治疗新的癌症,而科学家可以快速跟踪任何有希望的药物的批准,可知,画线词所在句应表示某些治疗常见癌症的方法也能治疗罕见肿瘤,即一些非常罕见的肿瘤易受针对常见癌症开发的治疗方法的影响,即对普通癌症开发的治疗方法敏感。故susceptible与sensitive意思相近,表示“敏感的”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The approach has already produced promising results for Park. “I know I still have a journey ahead of me but my cancer has been reduced to manageable tumors, and that has been a very welcome outcome,” said Park.(这种方法已经为Park带来了可喜的结果。‘我知道我还有一段路要走,但我的癌症已经减少到可以控制的肿瘤,这是一个非常受欢迎的结果,’Park说)”可知,Park对治疗持积极乐观的态度。故选A。

Learn From Failure
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Failure is inevitable in everyone’s life. The problem that many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We feel frustrated or despaired in face of failure, but it may be an educational lesson in certain ways.
I used to be an interest - driven learner only willing to explore in the fields that I was passionate about as deep as I could. While learning in this way did make me feel comfortable, it led to a harmful imbalance between my grades of different subjects, some of which I failed afterwards. Nevertheless, I was not discouraged and made up my mind to change my learning habits. Before long, I became skilled at subjects that I completely ignored in the past.
Despite that dreadful failure, I stood up where I fell. Therefore, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. Just as the famous quotation from Churchill goes: Failure is not fatal, what matters most is the courage to carry on. So learn your lessons of life.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After being busy for half a year, my parents decided to drive me to a scenic spot outside the city to have fun. Joyfully, we planned our driving route.
Then, on a December Saturday morning, my dad started his car and we set off with great expectation. Before long, we left the noisy city and came to the mountains. There were few vehicles on the road and the trees alongside were pretty. We felt so excited!
As a few hours passed, we drove onto a narrow road. And minutes later, we found a river not far away from the road. The beach was very wide, and we wanted to have a rest there for a while. So my dad turned our car and drove towards it. Soon, we were driving on the sandy beach. Moments later, our car wheels were struggling in the increasingly soft sand. But my dad wanted to get closer to the river.
Before he regretted it, our car had got stuck in the sand. My dad tried to turn around or move back, but the car didn’t move. We were worried, trapped in the middle of nowhere. Even worse, it began raining and was cold. We got out of the car and tried to push it, but failed. After a couple of minutes, we were tired and our hair and coats were a little wet. But the car only sank further into the sand.
Anxiously, we walked to the road, eager to stop a vehicle and let it help pull our car out of the sand. Our coats and hair were wetter and wetter. Before the journey, we hadn’t prepared umbrellas or carried any food. Now, we were hungry and cold, standing in the rain. After waiting for a long time, there wasn’t one vehicle passing.
Just when we were helpless, we saw a farmhouse not far away. “Can they help us?” I asked. My dad was doubtful. Still, we reached there, and found it was a big family. They seemed poor and unfriendly. My dad told them our problem and begged them to help us pull our car out.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To our surprise, they nodded without thinking. They quickly found some ropes and tools. And they all, including a sixty-year-old man, two tall sons, their wives and several cheerful children, followed us. When reaching the beach, some of us pushed the car while others pulled it out with all strength. We tried hard, but the car didn’t move. Just then, my father saw that many faces of this family were covered with sweat, but they didn’t leave. Finally, after we tried many times, the car was pulled out of the sand.
My dad was so grateful that he handed some money to the family to thank them. However, they refused. Instead, they invited us to have a meal and offered to dry our coats. At their insistence, we returned to their home again, where the women went to prepare the meal while the men lit a big fire using firewood. The family offered us clean coats and hung our wet ones near the fire. We sat around the fire, and soon felt warm. Later, we enjoyed their delicious meal. That experience made me know that there are many helpful people who don’t expect anything in return.
