Would you like to read books in your free time Here are four books you really should read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
It works perfectly as a book for teens. Set at an unspecified date in Earth’s future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”. In preparation for the third conflict, children, including the novel’s leading character, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, are trained from a very young age.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose (散文) stylists. His novel, The Road, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more impressive by its briefness.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
For decades, almost every good book about disaffected adolescents was compared to The Catcher in the Rye, but none has matched the original. Salinger had his finger on the pulse of a generation in a way that few writers can match, and he broke with tradition by writing in a colloquial (口语的) voice.
Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen
You might not have heard of Olsen, but her 1961 story collection Tell Me a Riddle was one of the first to chronicle (按事件顺序记载) the lives of working-class women. Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.
1. What kind of book is Ender’s Game
A. A love story. B. A story collection.
C. A folk tale. D. A science fiction.
2. Which of the following won its author the Pulitzer Prize
A. The Road. B. Ender’s Game.
C. Tell Me a Riddle. D. The Catcher in the Rye.
3. Who had an important effect on female writers
A. J.D. Salinger. B. Cormac McCarthy.
C. Tillie Olsen. D. Orson Scott Card.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章向读者推荐了四本可以在空余时间阅读的书籍。

细节理解题。根据“Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card”部分中“Set at an unspecified date in Earth’s future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”.”（小说以地球未来一个未知日期为背景，小说描述了人类和虫族之间的两次冲突，虫族是一种外星物种，它们称之为“虫族”。）可知，这本书以未来为背景，是一本科幻小说。选项D与文意相符，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The Road by Cormac McCarthy”部分中“The Road, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction”（《路》曾获得2007年普利策小说奖 ），可知， The Road这本书使其作者获得了普利策奖。选项A符合题意，故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen”部分中“Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.”（奥尔森打开了一扇通向美国文学中以前不常见到的世界的窗户，影响了一代女作家，包括玛格丽特·阿特伍德，桑德拉·西斯内罗斯，和艾丽丝·沃克。）可知，作者奥尔森（Tillie Olsen）影响了一代女作家。选项C与文意相符，故选C。
B
One day, a few years ago, I was rushing from the pool when a man stopped me and said, “You must come to swim with the team.” I was in my early 50s--- too old for a swim team, I thought. But the coach--- Igor was his name---insisted: “I can see you are a good swimmer.”
Encouraged, I joined his group of swimmers. Workouts started at 5:30 in the morning when most people were still in bed. Although we were all at different swimming levels, we had one thing in common: We wanted to get better.
After a few days, a bunch of us were complaining about how little progress we were making, how slow we were. Igor smiled and said, “You are all confused! Speed is not the goal; it is the result of perfectly beautiful technique.” What really mattered to Igor was the technique. Once you mastered that, he argued, speed would follow naturally. Speed was simply the welcome side effect of swimming well.
I’ve been thinking lately that there’s a lesson here that goes beyond the pool. We all wanted to swim faster and the more hysterically （歇斯底里般地）we tried, the more speed escaped us. The same goes for happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, yet the more directly we go after happiness, the more elusive （难以捕捉的）it becomes.
Research shows that thinking too much about how to be happy actually weakens well-being. This is in part because all that thinking consumes a fair amount of time, and is not itself enjoyable. Study after study shows that good social relationships are the strongest, most consistent predictor of a happy life.
Our technique has improved, thanks to Igor. Some days, 1 swim only a little faster than I did before. But even if 1 don’t, I feel great.
In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well—-just like speed can be the result of excellent swimming technique. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the pool.
4. How did the author react when Igor invited him to join the team
A. He hesitated at first. B. He refused firmly.
C. He accepted it at once. D. He consulted his coach.
5 Why did some teammates feel unhappy after a few days
A. They learned nothing new. B. They were unable to swim faster.
C. They got up too early in the morning. D. They were at different swimming levels.
6. What happens when the author focuses on swimming
A. He becomes the best on the team. B. His social relationships have improved.
C. He makes progress and enjoys himself D. His swimming speed has increased greatly.
7. What can we know about happiness
A. Happiness comes to (hose trying hard to achieve it.
B. Happiness is a side effect of a personal hobby.
C. Happiness is a natural result of living well.
D. Happiness arises from a healthy body.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者的游泳教练让他们明白：游泳技巧提高了，速度自然就快了。正如幸福一样，越是单纯追求幸福，越是得不到，放手不去想关于幸福的事情，幸福自然就来了。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I was in my early 50s--- too old for a swim team, I thought.(我已经50出头了——对于游泳队来说年龄太大了，我认为”可知，作者一开始觉得自己年龄太大了，有些犹豫。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“After a few days, a bunch of us were complaining about how little progress we were making, how slow we were.(几天后，我们一群人正在抱怨自己进步很慢，几乎没有进步)”可知，队员们因为自己进步慢，游不快而不开心。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Our technique has improved, thanks to Igor. Some days, 1 swim only a little faster than I did before. But even if 1 don’t, I feel great.(多亏了Igor，我们的技巧提高了。一段时间后，我比以前游得快点了。但是即使我没有比以前游得快，我也感觉很棒)”可知，作者比以前游得好了，而且在游泳的过程中得到了快乐。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well—-just like speed can be the result of excellent swimming technique.(最终，幸福是过好生活后的副作用——就像速度是完美游泳技巧的结果一样)”可知，幸福是过好生活后自然产生的结果。故选C。
C
Many countries are currently facing major problems related to waste collection, particularly in urban areas, due to the large amount of waste produced daily by the population. Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.
With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system, which they refer to as AGDC, for automatic garbage detection and collection. Their system uses AI algorithms (计算程序) to detect and locate waste in its surroundings, then picks it up with a robotic arm.
The system consists of a robotic body (i.e. a base, a robotic arm and a drawer) and several machine learning algorithms. It uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect garbage on the ground. Then, it calculates its position by analyzing pictures collected by an integrated camera (内置摄像头). Next, another algorithm judges the distance between the robot and the garbage, while also giving instructions to the robot to reach the target location. The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting. When the robot finally reaches the garbage detected by CNNs, it uses a robotic arm to collect it and drops it into a drawer that is attached to its body.
The researchers have already developed a prototype (原型) of their waste detection system, which can currently collect up to 100-200g of garbage. In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer. In addition, the team is thinking of developing and training a new CNN model that would allow AGDC to detect various kinds of garbage at the same time.
8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Using technology to collect waste.
B. Making using of urban areas effectively.
C. Dealing with industrial pollution.
D. Reducing the amount of waste produced.
9. What is the microcontroller used to do
A. Pick the garbage up. B. Detect and locate the garbage.
C. Empty the robot’s drawer. D. Direct the robot’s movements.
10. How does Paragraph 3 mainly develop
A. By process. B. By classification.
C. By comparison. D. By example.
11. What will the researchers do next
A. Build a prototype of AGDC.
B. Advertise the prototype of AGDC.
C. Improve the prototype of AGDC.
D. Mass-produce the prototype of AGDC.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了薇什沃卡马政府工程大学研究出的一种名为AGDC的垃圾检测和收集系统，通过内置摄像头和计算程序实现工作，这类科技的发展，有助于改善城市的垃圾收集状况。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system(带着这一想法，近期薇什沃卡马政府工程大学的研究人员创造出一种便宜且高效的系统)”可知，研究人员带着此种想法制造出了垃圾收集系统，所指的应该就是上文中“Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.(技术会在处理这些问题上扮演重要角色，比如说，通过更高效工具的发展来收集垃圾)”即利用科学技术来收集垃圾，与A选项描述相符。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting.(垃圾的位置和这些指令接着会被提交到微控制器，它将控制机器人移动到垃圾所在的地方)”可知，该系统中微处理器的作用是控制机器人的行动，与D选项相符。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。浏览第三段，主要介绍了系统的组成部件，并通过一次工作流程阐述了其工作原理。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer. In addition, the team is thinking of developing and training a new CNN model that would allow AGDC to detect various kinds of garbage at the same time.(未来的工作中，他们计划扩展该原型，这样就可以在清空抽屉前一次收集两到三千克垃圾。此外，团队在考虑发展、训练一个新的CNN模型，使得AGDC能同时检测各种类型的垃圾)”可知，研究人员下一步将会就目前的原型系统进行升级、扩展。故选C项。

The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes their hearts and blood vessels(血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases the risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. She says, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin(毁坏) us.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
12. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station”mean in Paragraph 2
A. The train has changed its course.
B. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
C. The Internet brings great changes to people’s life.
D. The Internet has improved people’s life.
13. What can we know about the study according to Paragraph 4
A. There was no similar study like it before.
B. Most of the young people had high blood pressure.
C. Adult people aged above 17 took part in the study.
D. Over half of the teens in the study were heavy Internet users.
14. Which of the following would Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow probably agree with
A. That teenagers shouldn’t use the Internet.
B. That the Internet will ruin human life in the future.
C. That smartphones are more harmful than computers.
D. That regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers.
B. Every coin has two sides—so does the Internet.
C. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.
D. How to prevent teenagers from using the Internet.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述互联网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色，但是过度上网会影响我们的健康，尤其是青少年。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“There is no going back to an Internet-free life.（不可能回归到没有互联网的生活。）”可知是对上文的解释说明， “that train has left the station”本身意思是火车已经离开站点就不能往回开了，由此猜测在本段中意思是生活中找不到没有互联网的地方，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.（研究人员表示，这项研究首次将过度上网与高血压联系起来。）”说明以前没有过这样的研究，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.（卡西迪-布什罗女士补充说，对青少年来说，有规律地从电脑或智能手机前停下来休息，做一些体育活动是很重要的。她还建议父母不应该让他们的孩子每天上网超过两个小时，一周5天。）”由此可推断卡西迪-布什罗女士建议在使用互联网的时候要有规律的休息，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.”（但是过度使用互联网会对我们的健康有害吗 研究人员说，可能是这样。一项新的研究发现，大量使用互联网可能与青少年的高血压有关。）通读全文可知，文章主要讲述互联网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色，但是过度上网会影响我们的健康，尤其是青少年。建议青少年在使用网络的时候要有规律的休息。C选项“过多的上网可能对青少年不利。”符合文章大意，故选C。

【答案】41. learning
42. whether
43. nor 44. got
45. confusing
46. in 47. was invented
48. creativity
49. stars 50. invisible
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了英语学习的疯狂。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：你有没有问过自己，为什么人们学习英语总是有困难？固定短语：have difficulty (in ) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，空处需填动名词作宾语。故填learning。
2.考查宾语从句连接词。句意：我没有（想过这个问题），直到有一天，我五岁的儿子问我汉堡包里是否有火腿。分析可知，设空处及之后的内容为动词ask的宾语，设空处在句中起连接作用，使句子的意义更完整。结合句意，此处表示“是否”含义，所以用从属连词whether，故填whether。
3.考查固定结构。句意：菠萝里既没有松树也没有苹果。固定结构：neither...nor...“既不……也不……”，所以此处填nor。故填nor。
4.考查时态。句意：这让我思考学习英语是多么的疯狂。空白处在句中为谓语，结合前文中“one day my five-year-old son asked ”可知，此处的时态为一般过去时。故填got。
5.考查形容词。句意：即使是最短的词汇也是令人困惑的。设空处在句中作表语，表示主语“the smallest words”的性质，所以用形容词confusing。故填confusing。
6.考查介词。句意：当你在一份医学报告里看到大写的WHO时，你会把它读成“Who’s that ”中的“who”吗？in a report“在报告中”为固定结构，故填in。
7.考查时态和语态。句意：英语是由人创造的，而不是电脑发明的，它反映了人类的创造力。结合句意可知，英语的出现是发生在过去，所以此处的时态为一般过去时；句子主语English与动词invent为动宾关系，所以invent要用被动。故填was invented。
8.考查名词。句意提示。结合设空前冠词the可知，此处要用名词。create“创造”为动词，其名词形式为creativity“创造力”。故填creativity。
9.考查名词复数。句意：这就是为什么星星出来了，它们（星星）可以被看见，而当灯灭了时，它们（灯光）就看不见了。star“星星”为可数名词，结合句中they are visible，所以要用复数。故填stars。
10.考查形容词。句意同上。are为系动词，空处需填形容词作表语，根据句中“when the lights are out”，所以此处指灯光就看不到了。所以填invisible“看不见”，故填invisible。

Would you like to read books in your free time Here are four books you really should read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
It works perfectly as a book for teens. Set at an unspecified date in Earth’s future, the novel presents two conflicts between humankind and the Formics, an alien species they call the “buggers”. In preparation for the third conflict, children, including the novel’s leading character, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, are trained from a very young age.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is one of our greatest living prose (散文) stylists. His novel, The Road, which was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and in which a father and young son struggle to survive, is made all the more impressive by its briefness.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
For decades, almost every good book about disaffected adolescents was compared to The Catcher in the Rye, but none has matched the original. Salinger had his finger on the pulse of a generation in a way that few writers can match, and he broke with tradition by writing in a colloquial (口语的) voice.
Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen
You might not have heard of Olsen, but her 1961 story collection Tell Me a Riddle was one of the first to chronicle (按事件顺序记载) the lives of working-class women. Olsen opened a window onto a world not often seen before in American literature and influenced a generation of women writers, including Margaret Atwood, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker.
1. What kind of book is Ender’s Game
A. A love story. B. A story collection.
C. A folk tale. D. A science fiction.
2. Which of the following won its author the Pulitzer Prize
A. The Road. B. Ender’s Game.
C. Tell Me a Riddle. D. The Catcher in the Rye.
3. Who had an important effect on female writers
A. J.D. Salinger. B. Cormac McCarthy.
C. Tillie Olsen. D. Orson Scott Card.
B
One day, a few years ago, I was rushing from the pool when a man stopped me and said, “You must come to swim with the team.” I was in my early 50s--- too old for a swim team, I thought. But the coach--- Igor was his name---insisted: “I can see you are a good swimmer.”
Encouraged, I joined his group of swimmers. Workouts started at 5:30 in the morning when most people were still in bed. Although we were all at different swimming levels, we had one thing in common: We wanted to get better.
After a few days, a bunch of us were complaining about how little progress we were making, how slow we were. Igor smiled and said, “You are all confused! Speed is not the goal; it is the result of perfectly beautiful technique.” What really mattered to Igor was the technique. Once you mastered that, he argued, speed would follow naturally. Speed was simply the welcome side effect of swimming well.
I’ve been thinking lately that there’s a lesson here that goes beyond the pool. We all wanted to swim faster and the more hysterically （歇斯底里般地）we tried, the more speed escaped us. The same goes for happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, yet the more directly we go after happiness, the more elusive （难以捕捉的）it becomes.
Research shows that thinking too much about how to be happy actually weakens well-being. This is in part because all that thinking consumes a fair amount of time, and is not itself enjoyable. Study after study shows that good social relationships are the strongest, most consistent predictor of a happy life.
Our technique has improved, thanks to Igor. Some days, 1 swim only a little faster than I did before. But even if 1 don’t, I feel great.
In the end, happiness is a side effect of living well—-just like speed can be the result of excellent swimming technique. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the pool.
4. How did the author react when Igor invited him to join the team
A. He hesitated at first. B. He refused firmly.
C. He accepted it at once. D. He consulted his coach.
5. Why did some teammates feel unhappy after a few days
A. They learned nothing new. B. They were unable to swim faster.
C. They got up too early in the morning. D. They were at different swimming levels.
6. What happens when the author focuses on swimming
A. He becomes the best on the team. B. His social relationships have improved.
C. He makes progress and enjoys himself D. His swimming speed has increased greatly.
7. What can we know about happiness
A. Happiness comes to (hose trying hard to achieve it.
B. Happiness is a side effect of a personal hobby.
C. Happiness is a natural result of living well.
D. Happiness arises from a healthy body.
C
Many countries are currently facing major problems related to waste collection, particularly in urban areas, due to the large amount of waste produced daily by the population. Technology could play a significant role in dealing with these issues, for example, through the development of more effective tools to gather and collect garbage.
With this in mind, researchers at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College have recently created a cheap and effective system, which they refer to as AGDC, for automatic garbage detection and collection. Their system uses AI algorithms (计算程序) to detect and locate waste in its surroundings, then picks it up with a robotic arm.
The system consists of a robotic body (i.e. a base, a robotic arm and a drawer) and several machine learning algorithms. It uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect garbage on the ground. Then, it calculates its position by analyzing pictures collected by an integrated camera (内置摄像头). Next, another algorithm judges the distance between the robot and the garbage, while also giving instructions to the robot to reach the target location. The position of the garbage and these instructions are then fed to a microcontroller, which controls the robot to move to where the garbage is resting. When the robot finally reaches the garbage detected by CNNs, it uses a robotic arm to collect it and drops it into a drawer that is attached to its body.
The researchers have already developed a prototype (原型) of their waste detection system, which can currently collect up to 100-200g of garbage. In their future work, they plan to expand on this prototype, so that it can collect two to three kilograms of garbage before emptying its drawer. In addition, the team is thinking of developing and training a new CNN model that would allow AGDC to detect various kinds of garbage at the same time.
8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Using technology to collect waste.
B Making using of urban areas effectively.
C. Dealing with industrial pollution.
D. Reducing the amount of waste produced.
9. What is the microcontroller used to do
A. Pick the garbage up. B. Detect and locate the garbage.
C. Empty the robot’s drawer. D. Direct the robot’s movements.
10. How does Paragraph 3 mainly develop
A. By process. B. By classification.
C. By comparison. D. By example.
11. What will the researchers do next
A. Build a prototype of AGDC.
B. Advertise the prototype of AGDC.
C. Improve the prototype of AGDC.
D. Mass-produce the prototype of AGDC.
D
The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes their hearts and blood vessels(血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases the risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. She says, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin(毁坏) us.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regular from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
12. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station”mean in Paragraph 2
A. The train has changed its course.
B. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
C. The Internet brings great changes to people’s life.
D. The Internet has improved people’s life.
13. What can we know about the study according to Paragraph 4
A. There was no similar study like it before.
B. Most of the young people had high blood pressure.
