Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot. 1．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 2．Which one of the followings is NOT true? A．Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America. C．“West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names. D．The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 3．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本前往旅行目的地时可以阅读的文学作品。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. (日本著名作家村上春树创造了另一个1984，名为1Q84，在那里一切都感觉不对劲，一切都略有不同。以日本东京为背景，这本反乌托邦、充满神秘的奇幻小说一定会让你在旅途中着迷)”可知，《1Q84》这本书涉及平行存在，充满神秘，因此适合对平行存在感兴趣、充满想象力的读者。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. (作为一部重要的文学作品，加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的经典作品讲述了布恩迪亚家族几代人在南美小镇上的生活)”和第三段中“Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. (虽然经典小说中的“West Egg”和“East Egg”更像长岛的大颈和华盛顿港半岛，但人们认为，弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在创作这本书时受到了汉普顿斯的启发)”可知，布恩迪亚家族家族几代人都住在他们的南美小镇上，“West Egg”和“East Egg”都是地名，《了不起的盖茨比》是弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德写的，A、C、D与文意相符。根据第二段中“Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. (加西亚·马尔克斯的魔幻现实主义与他丰富的描写相结合，使这本书成为参观南美洲一些令人惊叹的景点的完美读物)”可知，B项“《百年孤独》是一本主要描写南美洲风景的书”与文意不符。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. (约翰·格林的故事曾于2014年被改编成电影，讲述了一群命运多舛的青少年，其中有一段著名的阿姆斯特丹之旅)”可知，《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书中包含青少年前往阿姆斯特丹的故事，再结合题干中“有人可能会对这种疯狂的情况感到惊讶：一位母亲把她16岁的女儿和一个17岁的男孩单独送到一个外国城市”的摘要可知，该摘要出自《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书，这座外国城市是阿姆斯特丹。故选C项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一下·江苏盐城·期末） Ways to save money at the cinema There’s nothing quite like seeing a new film on the big screen!

The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a significant rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of  “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of decision. 1．What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2? A．Solve uncertain matters. B．Summarize a key principle. C．Concentrate on related things. D．Make decisions independently. 2．Why is the book a practical guide to readers? A．To provide readers with life values. B．To help readers express philosophy. C．To improve readers’ critical thinking skills. D．To equip readers with decision-making skills. 3．What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．Definition of simplicity. B．Rules of making decisions. C．Benefits of stressing clarity. D．Influences of decision-making. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本可以增强读者决策力的书。 1．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. (书中强调的另一条规则是决策的简单性。通过采用简化，决策者获取关键信息，关注最相关的因素，避免不必要的方面，从而更快地判断和更快地得出结论。)”可知，这本书建议读者专注于相关的事情。故选C。 2．推理判断题。由文章第三段“The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills.  The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively.  From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.

Explore some recommendations from trusted critics. My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood, illustrated by Luisa Uribe) It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news? And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8) Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho) This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world—and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8) Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac) When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparents. It is in Malian’s grandparents’ stories that she learns how the people of her native community have always taken care of one another. Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12) Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson) If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi (真菌) that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack? Then, consider this outstanding book for kids on the topic. (For ages 4 to 8) 1．What do My Brother Is Away and Eyes that Kiss in the Corners have in common? A．They both reveal complex feelings. B．They both tell stories through a girl’s eyes. C．They are intended for children of same age. D．They both focus on children’s responsibility. 2．Which book best suits children who are interested in science? A．Rez Dogs B．Eyes that Kiss in the Corners C．My Brother Is Away D．Listen to the Language of the Trees 3．What can we learn about the book Rez Dogs? A．It may attract pre-school children. B．It is written in the form of a poem. C．It has pictures related to the pandemic. D．It mainly covers global pandemics. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本优秀的儿童读物，提供了书的内容、主题、适用儿童年龄等信息。 1．细节理解题。根据My Brother Is Away部分中“This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. (这本感人的书取材于作者自己的童年，讲述了一个小女孩的故事，她的哥哥在监狱里。)”和Eyes that Kiss in the Corners部分中“Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, (聚焦于一个小女孩，她为拥有“在眼角处相吻、像茶水般闪闪发光的双眼”而自豪)”可知，这两本书的共同之处在于都透过一个女孩的眼睛讲故事。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据Listen to the Language of the Trees部分中“If you know about the “Wood Wide Web”, you know that trees communicate through the fungi (真菌) that connect their roots. Still, did you know how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring (后代) apart from other trees? How they can warn other trees when insects attack? Then, consider this outstanding book for kids on the topic. (如果你知道“树联网”，你就知道树木是通过连接树根的真菌来交流的。不过，你知道他们是如何用额外的食物互相支持的吗？它们如何区分自己的后代和其他树？当昆虫袭击时，它们如何警告其他树木？那么，考虑一下这本关于这个话题的优秀的儿童读物。)”可知，Listen to the Language of the Trees这本书是关于树的科学知识的，因此很适合对科学感兴趣的儿童。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据Rez Dogs部分中“Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (这本以诗歌形式写成的书通过一个孩子的眼睛向我们展示了这场大流行病，并提醒我们，责任和相互关怀是我们都能做到的。)”可知，Rez Dogs是以诗的形式写成的。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题01 人与社会——旅游观光 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏常州·期末） After the Olympics, are you attracted to France?

It helped to kick-start Dickens’s career, and continues to excite readers’ imaginations today. Picturing Pickwick explores the illustrations of this incredible book, which began with the cooperation between Dickens and the illustrator Robert Seymour. The exhibition, which runs from 6th April 2024 to 11th September 2024, explores the relationship between Dickens and his illustrators, and includes original illustrations of The Pickwick Papers, a page of the original manuscript, and historic monthly instalments (连载) of the story, some of which was penned here at 48 Doughty Street. The exhibition showcases a series of works by Anna Marongiu, an Italian artist who created 262 illustrations of The Pickwick Papers between 1928 and 1929. These rich artworks picture scenes from the novel that have rarely been illustrated. This is the first time they have been on display in the UK to celebrate the unique talent of Marongiu, whose own life was cut short in 1941 by a plane crash when she was just 34. Her Pickwick series was given to the Charles Dickens Museum by her family in the 1980s. The Pickwick Papers caused a sensation when it was published, inspiring ‘Pickwick Clubs’ and societies to be set up in honour of the work. The exhibition features items including an 1837 Pickwick Club MinuteBook, which records the debates of one such society. The display will also note the international reaction to the novel, exploring how the story came to Italy, where it would inspire such incredible artistry within Marongiu.

Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏南京·期末） Which book you should read based on your next travel destination Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan. Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot. 1．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 2．Which one of the followings is NOT true? A．Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America. C．“West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names. D．The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 3．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo.

The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a significant rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of  “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions.
