Lynda La Plante is the writer of Prime Suspect and the best-selling author of more than 40 books. Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her.
Wuthering Heights
By Emily Bronte
One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介).
The Water-Babies
By Charles Kingsley
This classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney(烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.
The Faerie Queene
By Edmund Spenser
I used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.
1. How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights?
A. By reading a book borrowed from her grandma.
B. By listening to her grandma’s story.
C. By reading a ghost story.
D. By listening to it on the radio.
2. Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions?
A. Hidden Killers. B. The Water-Babies.
C. Wuthering Heights. D. The Faerie Queene.
3. What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene?
A. She found pleasure in writing poems.
B. She began to believe in herself.
C. She fell in love with poems.
D. She became word-smart.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。介绍三本对Lynda La Plante影响很深的书。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Wuthering Heights下的段落中“One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介).(还是个孩子的一天晚上,我悄悄地走进浴室,这时我听到一个声音喊道:“让我进去;让我进去!”同时,从我奶奶的房间传来了可怕的敲门声。我非常害怕,叫道:“救救我!鬼在哪儿?”奶奶抬起头说:“别傻了;我在听收音机里的一个故事,叫《呼啸山庄》。”我和奶奶一起意识到,你可以把书中的故事转换成不同的媒介)”可知,Lynda是通过听收音机而知道呼啸山庄的故事的。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题The Water-Babies下的段落中“I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.(我特别喜欢汤姆在他的冒险中提出的所有问题,其中许多是关于社会不公平的。我这辈子也问过很多问题)”可知,The Water-Babies使Lynda养成了问问题的习惯。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据小标题The Faerie Queene下的段落中“I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.(我把它背下来了,我为自己能把这么难的东西记在心里而感到骄傲。然后我知道我可以学单词和任何人一样好)”可推知,Lynda读了The Faerie Queene后,她开始相信自己。故选B项。
B
The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited.
5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3?
A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences.
C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels.
6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver?
A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school.
C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Travel shapes a person. B. Life is like a journey.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Parents are the best teachers.
【答案】4 A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位母亲与女儿Maia之间因旅行而产生的成长故事。起初,Maia对母亲独自出行感到不解和伤心,但后来母女俩开始共同旅行,这些经历激发了Maia的勇气、领导欲和对全球视角的理解。随着Maia长大,她选择去非洲完成高中学业,这段经历使她变得更加成熟独立,让母亲意识到角色转换,现在轮到她送别自己的孩子。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. (当我的女儿Maia第一次意识到我要去旅行而没有带她时,她吓坏了。‘既然你要把我扔下,为什么还要生我呢?’她抽泣着说。)”可知,Maia第一次意识到她的妈妈要不带她出去旅行时,她感到伤心。故选A项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第三段中“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. (当她六岁的时候,我们飞往墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。)”和“ In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life. (在斐济,九岁的Maia被我们遇到的富有同情心的女酋长所吸引,决定成为一名领导者。在她13岁时的一次斯里兰卡之行中,她了解了出生国的硬币翻转如何影响你的生活机会。)”可知,第三段主要介绍了Maia的旅行经历。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa. (当我们结束旅行回到温哥华让她接受高中教育时,得知我们的女儿有其他想法并不令人惊讶。经过几个月的面试,Maia获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会,她非常激动。)”可知,Maia回到温哥华的家中接受高中教育时,经过面试,Maia获得了在南部非洲Waterford Kamhlaba联合世界学院完成高中学业的机会。因此,Maia回到温哥华后,申请了在非洲的一所学校。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章第一段中的“I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. (我试着告诉她,总有一天她会明白旅行的吸引力。) ”和第三段“When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.(她六岁时,我们飞往墨西哥的里维埃拉玛雅。当我们在天然井里游泳或沿着暗礁潜水时,她是多么快乐无畏,给我留下了深刻的印象。在斐济,9岁的Maia被我们遇到的富有同情心的女酋长所吸引,她决定成为一名领袖。13岁时,她去斯里兰卡旅行,了解到出生国的命运如何影响你一生中的机遇。)”可知,文章旅描述了旅行如何影响和塑造了Maia的性格和人生观,表达了旅行对一个人的塑造作用。故选A项。
C
Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed (观察),” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
8. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph?
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. The little progress made in weather forecasts.
9. How does the new weather forecast model work?
A. It needs much less observational data. B. It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C. It joins AI and the traditional method together. D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
10. What can we say about the new weather forecast model?
A. It runs easily. B. It is low-cost.
C. It doesn’t work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
11. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast
D. The Challenges of Traditional Weather Forecast Model
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候科学家将人工智能融入传统天气预报方法,以提高东非极端天气预报的准确性,介绍了新模型的工作方式、优势以及应用前景。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods. (气候变化正在导致像非洲之角这样的地区出现大量极端天气事件,那里发生了致命的洪水和数十年来最严重的干旱。此外,撒哈拉以南非洲的传统天气预报模型往往不够可靠,无法提前准确预测极端天气事件,使这些地区处于风险之中。基于这些事实,正确和及时的预报对于保护生命和生计至关重要)”可知传统天气预报无法提前准确预测极端天气,故推断本段内容强调使用新的天气预报模型的必要性,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. (气候科学家正在东非将人工智能应用到传统的天气预报方法中,以提高极端天气预报的准确性)”可知新的天气预报模型是将人工智能融入传统天气预报方法中,故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. (根据Shruti Nath的说法,这个模型只需要一台笔记本电脑就可以运行,而不需要昂贵的超级计算机,它为当地气象组织提供了一种更便宜的方式,可以在缺乏准确观测数据的地区做出更准确的预报)”可知新的天气预报模型成本低,故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段“Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk.

(气候科学家正在东非将人工智能应用到传统的天气预报方法中,以提高极端天气预报的准确性)”可知文章主要讲述了气候科学家将人工智能融入传统天气预报方法,以提高东非极端天气预报的准确性,介绍了新模型的工作方式、优势以及应用前景,所以C选项“人工智能帮助改善天气预报。”符合文章主旨,故选C。
D
The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before:changes for the better,changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activitites in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings : in pure science―a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning ; in applied science―a more reasonable sharing of material benefits , and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War , the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race , as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said , “ The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线), good and ill together .” The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said . But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good ?Are we biologically programmed for war?
12. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage ?
(①="Paragraph1" , ②=" Paragraph" 2,③=" Paragraph" 3,④=" Paragraph" 4,⑤=" Paragraph" 5)
A. B. C. D.
13. From the fourth paragraph , we can infer that __________.
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious about the huge number of unclear weapons on the earth
14. The underlined word “mingled” in the last paragraph most probably means__________.
A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy
15. What you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write ?
A. Further application of science to war.
B. More reading of William Shakespeare.
C. Proper use of science in the new century.
D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,从正反两方面论述了科技进步的利弊。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。在文章首段的最后一句话,通过but找到主题句“Many things caused the changes , but , in my opinion , the most important was the progress in science .”(很多东西导致了这些变化,但在我看来,最重要的是科学的进步),第二、三段的主题句都出现了段尾,都讲了科技带来的benefit,从正面印证了主题。而第四段首句的Sadly和however,表明文章转入另外一个方面的论证,而且是反面的论证。全文尾段用Shakespeare的话再次总结主题。根据这个分析,可以很容易地看出这篇文章的整体结构是“总-分-总”式,在“分”的部分有分为正、反两方面,与A项意思一致,故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容,特别是“Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War , the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used , the result could have been the ruin of the human race , as well as of many kinds of animals .”(尽管到目前为止,它们的实际使用仅发生在第二次世界大战中,但生产和准备使用的核武器数量如此之多,如果这些武器真的被使用,其结果可能是毁灭人类和许多动物)可以看出作者对核武器的担忧,故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“good and ill together”(好的和坏的交织在一起)可以猜测出mingled 的意思为“混杂的”,与mixed同义,所以选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But does it have to be so ? Must the ill always go together with the good ? Are we biologically programmed for war ?”(但一定要这样吗?恶总是与善相伴吗?我们天生就要打仗吗?)可以推理出作者会继续写如何有效地将good和ill分开,故选D。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was 19 and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people. Mark Zuckerberg owns one of the most highly-valued tech companies in America. Steve Jobs founded Apple in his garage. What do these three people have in common?(比尔·盖茨在19岁时创办了微软公司,并成为世界上最富有的人之一。马克·扎克伯格拥有美国最有价值的科技公司之一。史蒂夫·乔布斯在自己的车库里创建了苹果公司。这三个人有什么共同点?)”以及后文“In fact, there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.(事实上,还有无数的人在没有获得学士学位的情况下就成功地创业了)”可知,本句回答上文提出的问题,即三个人的共同点是他们都没有读完大学。A选项中They指代上文Bill Gates、Mark Zuckerberg和Steve Jobs。故A选项“他们都没有读完大学”符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据后文“The short answer is “YES”, despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree. But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates, Zuckerberg, and Jobs did-is the exception, not the general rule.(简短的回答是“是的”,尽管没有学位也可能成功。但更长远的答案是,没有学位的成功——尤其是达到盖茨、扎克伯格和乔布斯那样的水平——是例外,而不是普遍规律)”可知,后文提到“回答”说明本句是在对针对大学学位进行提问。故E选项“在当今世界,大学学位仍然是必要的吗?”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“The short answer is “YES”, despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree. But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates, Zuckerberg, and Jobs did-is the exception, not the general rule.(简短的回答是“是的”,尽管没有学位也可能成功。但更长远的答案是,没有学位的成功——尤其是达到盖茨、扎克伯格和乔布斯那样的水平——是例外,而不是普遍规律)”可知,上文提到没有学位的成功是例外,不是普遍规律,说明对于大多数人来说,获得大学学位是有必要的。故G选项“对于大多数人来说,获得大学学位仍然给他们带来明显的优势”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Let’s look at some statistics. Through 2021, there will be 55 million job openings in America.(让我们来看看一些统计数据。到2021年,美国将有5500万个职位空缺)”以及后文“Even when a job does not require it, 91 percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.(即使一份工作不需要它,实际上91%的工作都是由拥有它的人来做的)”可知,本段主要在说明美国的工作普遍要求有大学学位,F选项中those指代上文中55 million job openings。故F选项“75%的职位需要大学学位”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Needless to say, people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job. Hence, they are more financially secure. Of course, financial security is not everything.(不用说,拥有大学学位的人更有可能被雇用,有一个更高收入的工作。因此,他们在经济上更有保障。当然,财务安全并不是一切)”以及后文“The people you meet in college will become part of an institutional support network that you can later call upon for work advancements, guiding programs, and additional skill-building prospects.(你在大学里遇到的人将成为一个机构支持网络的一部分,你可以在以后的工作推进、指导项目和额外的技能建设前景中寻求他们的支持)”可知,上文提到大学学位在经济上更有保障,后文则提到大学遇到的人将来可以寻求他们的支持,说明学位带来的除了赚钱的潜力,还有其他的东西。故C选项“除了赚钱的潜力,学位还有更多的东西”符合语境,故选C。

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为80左右;

【答案】
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. However, another voice urged him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty” Asad convinced himself. He caught Fahad up, and return it to Fahad. Taking over the wallet, Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” Calmly and patiently, Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt ashamed and apologized to Asad, and treated him for lunch.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Asad是一个非常诚实和勤奋的男孩。最近,他进入了一所新学校,还没有朋友。一天,Asad忘记带钱包了,没钱吃午饭,他问Fahad能不能借点钱吃午饭时,Fahad嘲笑他。他走开后,却发现了Fahad的钱包。经过思想斗争,最终,Asad将钱包还给了Fahad。

Lynda La Plante is the writer of Prime Suspect and the best-selling author of more than 40 books. Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her.
Wuthering Heights
By Emily Bronte
One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium(媒介).
The Water-Babies
By Charles Kingsley
This classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney(烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures, many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.
The Faerie Queene
By Edmund Spenser
I used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.
1. How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights?
A. By reading a book borrowed from her grandma.
B. By listening to her grandma’s story.
C. By reading a ghost story.
D. By listening to it on the radio.
2. Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions?
A. Hidden Killers. B. The Water-Babies.
C. Wuthering Heights. D. The Faerie Queene.
3. What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene?
A. She found pleasure in writing poems.
B. She began to believe in herself.
C. She fell in love with poems.
D. She became word-smart.
B
The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited.
5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3?
A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences.
C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels.
6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver?
A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school.
C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Travel shapes a person. B. Life is like a journey.
C All roads lead to Rome. D. Parents are the best teachers.
C
Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed (观察),” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
8. What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph?
A. The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B. The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C. The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D. The little progress made in weather forecasts.
9. How does the new weather forecast model work?
A It needs much less observational data. B. It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C. It joins AI and the traditional method together. D. It depends on AI instead of the former way.
10. What can we say about the new weather forecast model?
A. It runs easily. B. It is low-cost.
C. It doesn’t work as wished. D. It is geographically limited.
11. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B. Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C. AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast
D. The Challenges of Traditional Weather Forecast Model
D
The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before:changes for the better,changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activitites in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings : in pure science―a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning ; in applied science―a more reasonable sharing of material benefits , and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War , the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race , as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said , “ The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线), good and ill together .” The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said . But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good ?Are we biologically programmed for war?
12. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage ?
(①="Paragraph1" , ②=" Paragraph" 2,③=" Paragraph" 3,④=" Paragraph" 4,⑤=" Paragraph" 5)
A. B. C. D.
13. From the fourth paragraph , we can infer that __________.
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious about the huge number of unclear weapons on the earth
14. The underlined word “mingled” in the last paragraph most probably means__________.
A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy
15. What you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write ?
A. Further application of science to war.
B. More reading of William Shakespeare.
C. Proper use of science in the new century.
D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
续写要求:
1. 续写词数应为80左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
