There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives (远景) and exposing yourself to other cultures. We asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that may transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel around the world.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book written by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast and eventually appears in contemporary Hollywood’s screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price; $28.90.
SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 26. 60.
ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10.
NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $ 30. 80.

Like many children, young Lotte Reiniger was crazy about movies, which at the time were a completely new invention. She taught herself how to cut paper silhouettes (剪影), of people, animals, and objects. "I could cut silhouettes almost as soon as I could manage to hold a pair of scissors," Reiniger said. "I could paint, too, and read... But everybody was surprised at the scissor cuts."
At first, Reiniger wanted to be an actress, but her skill at making silhouettes drew the attention of the German film industry. Before 1927, films were silent. To help the audience understand the film, title cards with printed text appeared during the film between scenes. Reiniger helped create title cards for films, using her silhouettes. In 1918, she was asked to provide stop-motion animation(定格动画), in which objects are photographed (拍摄) in a series of slightly different positions and then replayed at high speed so that the objects appear to move on their own. It was for wooden rats(老鼠) in the movie The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It was a breakthrough that led to her own films, first short films and then, in 1926, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first full-length animated film.
Although Reiniger once described herself as "a primitive(原始的) caveman artist", her work is not simple. She carefully cut bits of card, paper, and wire, creating wonderful shapes, and then made them move and dance by hands. The black shapes were then placed on colorful backgrounds. She made more than 60 films, around 40 of which still survive, all cut by her own hands. Most were based on timeless fairy tales, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
Reiniger was truly a pioneer both in animation and for women in film-making. Though her last film came out in 1980,her style is still influential and can often be seen in today's films.
1.What do we know about Reiniger's cuts
A.Paper silhouettes were her favorite. B.Painting and reading helped her cuts.
C.She had a gift for cutting silhouettes. D.Movies excited her interest in silhouettes.
2.What did Reiniger do to help the audience understand the silent films
A.She replayed the film between scenes. B.She cut silhouettes for title cards in films.
C.She broke up long films into shorter ones. D.She made photos of the objects in the film.
3.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Creating title cards for films. B.Making wooden rats for a film.
C.Producing The Adventures of Prince Achmed. D.Bringing stop-motion animation into a film.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Reiniger
A.Gifted and generous. B.Creative and productive.
C.Honest and self-confident. D.Traditional and hard-working.
C
Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys' reading
To improve boys' reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called boy-friendly books that boys supposedly prefer. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read nonfiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
1.According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability
A.Social factors. B.Teaching methods.
C.Personal preferences. D.Psychological differences.
2.Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading
A.To persuade boys to read more often. B.To learn what boys are most interested in.
C.To help boys improve their language ability. D.To show that adults are good reading role models.
3.When should schools give students additional library access according to the author
A.Before and after class.
B.At any time of the school day.
C.At regular times during lessons.
D.When they are in the lower grades.
4.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To show students ways to improve their reading.
B.To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C.To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D.To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability.
D
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A.They must run long distances. B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules. D.They are good at swinging their legs.
2.What advantage does race walking have over running
A.It's more popular at the Olympics. B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building. D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A.Getting experts' opinions. B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Doing regular exercises.
4.Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking
A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Temper tantrums(发怒) range from crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, and breath holding. They're equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.
①_____, and others have them rarely. Tantrums are a normal part of child development. They are the way young children show they're upset or frustrated. Tantrums may happen when kids are tired, hungry, or uncomfortable; or because they can't get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. ②_____.
Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when language skills are starting to develop. Because young children at this age can't yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. ③_____.
④_____—more than they may be able to handle. This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks "I can do it myself" or "I want it, give it to me". When kids discover that they can't do it and can't have everything they want, they may have a tantrum.
So try to prevent tantrums from happening in the first place, whenever possible. Give plenty of positive attention. Get in the habit of catching your child being good. Reward your little one with praise and attention for positive behaviors. Most importantly, keep your cool when responding to a tantrum. Don't complicate the problem with your own frustration or anger. ⑤_____. So you need to be calm, too.
A. Some kids may smile all the day
B. Some kids may have tantrums often
C. You may wonder how long a tantrum will last
D. As language skills improve, tantrums tend to decrease
E. Kids want independence and control over their environment
F. Learning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over time
G. Remind yourself that your job is helping your child learn to calm down

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。续写词数应为150左右。
A woman who had a stroke(中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, "A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life." Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot(凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister "didn't look right". And she also noticed her sister's voice was slurred(口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58-year-old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said, "My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss(大惊小怪) and I didn't believe her."
Mrs Sapong said when she called Kwapong, she said that she had not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. "I said, 'Perhaps you need to take some medicine.' She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn't able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once."
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ms Kwapong said, "There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：①-⑤ BFDEG
解析：①根据上文“They're equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.”可知，1到3岁的孩子发怒很正常，结合该句中的and others have them rarely可知，一些孩子可能会经常发怒，但是另一些孩子很少发怒。故B项正确。
②空格处在该段结尾，其作用是总结该段内容并引起下段内容。通读该段内容可知，该段主要陈述孩子发怒是表现他们不开心或沮丧的方式，下段内容是说随年龄增长，孩子们的语言技能得到提升，他们也就不那么容易发怒了。F项“久而久之，孩子们就拥有处理这种沮丧的技能了”承上启下。故F项正确。
③根据空格上文 “Because young children at this age can't yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum.”可知，处在这个年龄阶段的孩子由于无法用言语表达他们的需要，所以会发怒。D项“随着语言技能的提高，发怒的行为将会减少”承接上文，符合语境。故D项正确。
④根据该段第二句“This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks 'I can do it myself' or 'I want it, give it to me'.”可知，孩子们总是在想“我能自己完成”“我想要，给我吧”；据此可以判断，E项“孩子们总是想要独立，操控他们的环境”与该段内容相符。故E项正确。
⑤根据空格后文“So you need to be calm, too.”可知，该处建议遇到问题首先自己要冷静。G项“你要想着你的工作就是帮你的孩子学会冷静”与此构成因果关系，衔接紧密。故G项正确。

Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week. Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Ms Kwapong said, "There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on Face Time as I am not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life."

Like many children, young Lotte Reiniger was crazy about movies, which at the time were a completely new invention. She taught herself how to cut paper silhouettes (剪影), of people, animals, and objects. "I could cut silhouettes almost as soon as I could manage to hold a pair of scissors," Reiniger said. "I could paint, too, and read... But everybody was surprised at the scissor cuts."
At first, Reiniger wanted to be an actress, but her skill at making silhouettes drew the attention of the German film industry. Before 1927, films were silent. To help the audience understand the film, title cards with printed text appeared during the film between scenes. Reiniger helped create title cards for films, using her silhouettes. In 1918, she was asked to provide stop-motion animation(定格动画), in which objects are photographed (拍摄) in a series of slightly different positions and then replayed at high speed so that the objects appear to move on their own. It was for wooden rats(老鼠) in the movie The Pied Piper of Hamelin. It was a breakthrough that led to her own films, first short films and then, in 1926, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first full-length animated film.
Although Reiniger once described herself as "a primitive(原始的) caveman artist", her work is not simple. She carefully cut bits of card, paper, and wire, creating wonderful shapes, and then made them move and dance by hands. The black shapes were then placed on colorful backgrounds. She made more than 60 films, around 40 of which still survive, all cut by her own hands. Most were based on timeless fairy tales, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
Reiniger was truly a pioneer both in animation and for women in film-making. Though her last film came out in 1980,her style is still influential and can often be seen in today's films.
1.What do we know about Reiniger's cuts
A.Paper silhouettes were her favorite. B.Painting and reading helped her cuts.
C.She had a gift for cutting silhouettes. D.Movies excited her interest in silhouettes.
2.What did Reiniger do to help the audience understand the silent films
A.She replayed the film between scenes. B.She cut silhouettes for title cards in films.
C.She broke up long films into shorter ones. D.She made photos of the objects in the film.
3.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Creating title cards for films. B.Making wooden rats for a film.
C.Producing The Adventures of Prince Achmed. D.Bringing stop-motion animation into a film.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Reiniger
A.Gifted and generous. B.Creative and productive.
C.Honest and self-confident. D.Traditional and hard-working.
C
Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys' reading
To improve boys' reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called boy-friendly books that boys supposedly prefer. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read nonfiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
1.According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability
A.Social factors. B.Teaching methods.
C.Personal preferences. D.Psychological differences.
2.Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading
A.To persuade boys to read more often. B.To learn what boys are most interested in.
C.To help boys improve their language ability. D.To show that adults are good reading role models.
3.When should schools give students additional library access according to the author
A.Before and after class.
B.At any time of the school day.
C.At regular times during lessons.
D.When they are in the lower grades.
4.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To show students ways to improve their reading.
B.To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C.To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D.To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A.They must run long distances. B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules. D.They are good at swinging their legs.
2.What advantage does race walking have over running
A.It's more popular at the Olympics. B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building. D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking
A.Getting experts' opinions. B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach. D.Doing regular exercises.
4.Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking
A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Temper tantrums(发怒) range from crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, and breath holding. They're equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.
①_____, and others have them rarely. Tantrums are a normal part of child development. They are the way young children show they're upset or frustrated. Tantrums may happen when kids are tired, hungry, or uncomfortable; or because they can't get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. ②_____.
Tantrums are common during the second year of life, a time when language skills are starting to develop. Because young children at this age can't yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum. ③_____.
④_____—more than they may be able to handle. This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks "I can do it myself" or "I want it, give it to me". When kids discover that they can't do it and can't have everything they want, they may have a tantrum.
So try to prevent tantrums from happening in the first place, whenever possible. Give plenty of positive attention. Get in the habit of catching your child being good. Reward your little one with praise and attention for positive behaviors. Most importantly, keep your cool when responding to a tantrum. Don't complicate the problem with your own frustration or anger. ⑤_____. So you need to be calm, too.
A. Some kids may smile all the day
B. Some kids may have tantrums often
C. You may wonder how long a tantrum will last
D. As language skills improve, tantrums tend to decrease
E. Kids want independence and control over their environment
F. Learning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over time

A woman who had a stroke(中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, "A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life." Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot(凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister "didn't look right". And she also noticed her sister's voice was slurred(口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58-year-old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said, "My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss(大惊小怪) and I didn't believe her."
Mrs Sapong said when she called Kwapong, she said that she had not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. "I said, 'Perhaps you need to take some medicine.' She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn't able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once."
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ms Kwapong said, "There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

②空格处在该段结尾，其作用是总结该段内容并引起下段内容。通读该段内容可知，该段主要陈述孩子发怒是表现他们不开心或沮丧的方式，下段内容是说随年龄增长，孩子们的语言技能得到提升，他们也就不那么容易发怒了。F项“久而久之，孩子们就拥有处理这种沮丧的技能了”承上启下。故F项正确。
③根据空格上文 “Because young children at this age can't yet say what they want, feel, or need, a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum.”可知，处在这个年龄阶段的孩子由于无法用言语表达他们的需要，所以会发怒。D项“随着语言技能的提高，发怒的行为将会减少”承接上文，符合语境。故D项正确。
④根据该段第二句“This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks 'I can do it myself' or 'I want it, give it to me'.”可知，孩子们总是在想“我能自己完成”“我想要，给我吧”；据此可以判断，E项“孩子们总是想要独立，操控他们的环境”与该段内容相符。故E项正确。
⑤根据空格后文“So you need to be calm, too.”可知，该处建议遇到问题首先自己要冷静。G项“你要想着你的工作就是帮你的孩子学会冷静”与此构成因果关系，衔接紧密。故G项正确。

第二节
答案：
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week. Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Ms Kwapong said, "There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on Face Time as I am not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life."
