Charlotte Grainger explains that it was her primary school teacher who first speculated that she might write a novel. “I thought the height of achievement would be to write a book because it seemed such a challenge and anyway I didn’t know what other teenagers were doing, like being in the Olympics, for example. When I turned 13 I thought I may be as well attempt this now. Recently I told my ex-teacher about it and she was astonished. She told me she’d meant I’d do it when I was 30 or 40. That had never occurred to me－I couldn’t understand why I’d be expected to put something on hold that I had a chance of being good at.”
It’s a winter afternoon, in the offices of Charlette’s publishers. The public relations representative for the book is keeping us company in case Charlotte might need defending. But she needs neither parental nor professional support. She’s her own person: spirited, with an alert face and great intelligence, but also a steadiness that prevents any overconfidence she could be forgiven for feeling.
She has a theory about teenagers and the way they are “betrayed” by the fiction that is specifically aimed at them. There are, she maintains, three types of teenagers depicted in novels. “There’s the outsider who becomes acceptable to society, the naive teenager who knows nothing about the big wide world, and the awkward teenage character who is socially skilled. The overall impression teenagers can get from some writers is teenagers can’t possibly know who they are because they are not experienced enough to know the truth. And when that is being pushed onto them by writers, it can undermine (削弱)their self-belief. ”
Charlotte has always been a keen reader of famous fantasy writers, some of whom you might suppose she’d be grateful to, but in fact they almost put her off writing entirely. “Books by my favorite fantasy writers explore deep things about psychology and about life. I was asking myself: is this seriously what I have to be doing to write a good book and am I really up to it ” She does, however, praise the influence of a book called “How Not to Write a Novel. “It tells you that if the reader starts to guess what’s going to happen, the suspense(悬念) has probably gone. ”
Why did Charlotte write her first novel at 13
She considered it something she might be good at.
She wanted to live up to her teacher’s expectations.
She wished to prove age was no barrier to success.
She felt it impossible to delay doing anything.
What does the author say about Charlotte in paragraph 2
She needs to be more confident.
She is more modest than expected.
She should take more advice from others.
She should be allowed more independence.
What does the underlined word “depicted” in paragraph 3 refer to
Mentioned.
Identified.
Betrayed.
Described.
How did Charlotte feel about those famous fantasy writers’ works
They were too boring to read.
They offered inspirations for her novel.
They nearly made her frightened of writing.
They taught her the skill of creating suspense.
C
Nutrient shortages might not be the result of poor diet. A study from 2004 showed that many fruits and vegetables contain less protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin C than they did in the1950s, though carbohydrate levels have increased over the same time length. While some researchers think this difference is explained by farmers growing sweeter cultivar, others believe a bigger factor is at play — Earth’s changing atmosphere.
Earth’s atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are rising. Within the next 50 years, carbon dioxide concentrations are expected to reach 550 parts per million, which is about double the amount measured before the mid-19th century. Farming will be greatly affected: Research shows that raised carbon dioxide levels will affect 95 percent of plant species — including main crops, such as wheat, rice, and potatoes by causing essential mineral levels to drop by 6 to 8 percent. Though this decline may sound negligible, it will have far-reaching consequences for global health.
The influences of an increasingly carbon-concentrated atmosphere were first observed in zooplankton, microscopic sea creatures that primarily feed on algae. Rising carbon dioxide levels could also have a similar effect on land plants’ nutritional value. When they can more easily transform sunlight into food, plants pack in a higher concentration of carbohydrates at the expense of protein, zinc, iron, and other essential nutrients.
Will the increase of carbohydrates and consequent decrease of other nutrients in your meals make a difference for your health According to some evidence, yes. Nutrient-rich plants are vital for fighting against health problems around the world, and lower levels in natural sources put populations at risk. For instance, studies show that 150 million people may be at risk for protein shortage by 2050, and iron shortage may affect a billion pregnant women within the same time period.
28．What causes the nutrient shortages in food
A．Poor diet. B．Changing atmosphere. C．Farm produce. D．Time length.
29．What will happen in the next 50 years
A．Carbon dioxide will be double than that at present.
B．Carbon dioxide of plant species will increase 95%.
C．Plants’ mineral levels will drop by 6 to 8 percent.
D．Plants species will reach 550 times as much.
30．What is the influence of nutrient-less plants to people
A．Lack of protein levels. B．Lack of natural sources.
C．Lack of pregnant women. D．Lack of carbohydrates.
31．What would be the best title for this passage
A．Earth’s Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Level
B．Climate Change and Plant Nutrient Levels
C．More Food Leading to Better Health
D．Natural Resources and Carbohydrate
D
Freeganism is an alternative philosophy for living, based on minimum participation in conventional economic practices by purchasing little or no goods, whether that is housing, clothing or even food. This philosophy comes from a very challenging idea for a consumer-oriented(以消费为导向的) society. That idea is: we already have enough.
Economists can often be heard to complain on TV that “the economy grew at a slower than expected rate last year”. But why do we care about growth so much The economy grows when we produce and sell more things. In a society already rich in things, how can we possibly justify making and buying more and more According to the freegans, our society’s simple answer to that question is to waste what we already have by throwing it into the dustbins.
This should not be controversial to anyone familiar with marketing. Last year’s hottest mobile phone looks old and outdated compared to this year’s model, doesn’t it And who would wear baggy jeans anymore when skinny jeans are so clearly in This market phenomenon is called “perceived obsolescence”. It relies on the idea that what is old feels inadequate or unusable, in order to encourage people to purchase replacements for perfectly good things that they already have.
As a solution, freegan communities consciously practice habits of non-consumption. Freegan behavior includes sharing tools, clothes or equipment between neighbors and friends, and the radical(过激的) practice of “dumpster diving”, which refers to seeking out waste food thrown away by groceries and supermarkets because of outward imperfections like a spot on the skin of an otherwise good apple.
Although making their next meal from “rescued” food may not suit everyone, the essence of the freegan message－to waste less, and to want less－is one worth holding on to.
What can be inferred from paragraph 2
Our society practises strict economy.
Growth and waste tend to go hand in hand.
The freegans love finding faults with economists.
Producer-orientation promotes economic growth.
33．What may “perceived obsolescence” lead to
The change of marketing strategies(策略).
A waste of well-functioning products.
The decline of the fashion industry.
Great advances in mobile phone technology.
34．What can we learn about freegan behavior from paragraph 4
It requires communities to distribute goods equally.
It urges groceries and supermarkets to recycle food.
It is based on community group buying.
It ranges from the simple to extreme.
35．Which of the following may be freegans’ concept
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Giving sometimes produces nice results.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
One’s disadvantages may prove to be advantages.

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。
Sleep is clearly important for our health, helping our bodies function at their best. 36
Some new research suggests that sleep does have positive social consequences.
Sleep helps us to be kinder to others. When we sleep poorly, the parts of our brain devoted to mercy don't function as well. In one study, college-aged participants kept track of their sleep quality for two weeks and then performed a task while having their brains scanned. 37
Sleep helps us approach others and avoid loneliness. It's been long known that loneliness is associated with poor sleep. Can poor sleep lead to loneliness In a recent study, researchers scanned people's brains after they slept normally or had a night of sleep deprivation (剥夺).
38 Participants were asked to watch videos of a stranger approaching them from a distance and to push a button when they felt the stranger was too close. 39 When participants had suffered abnormal sleep, they wanted the person to stop at a much greater distance than they did after a night of normal sleep, and their brains reflected a particular pattern.
40 A recent study suggests it is true. Participants who were randomly assigned (分配) to keep or restrict their sleep over two days were then asked to do a difficult task while listening to very disgusting noise bound to make them annoyed. Those who'd restricted their sleep became much angrier during the task, compared to those who'd had normal sleep.
A. Sleep helps us to be less angry and aggressive.
B. They wanted to see how they would react to strangers.
C. Did the poorly slept participants report feeling lonelier
D. Sleep makes a person not be angry and make more friends.
E. But does getting a good night's sleep affect our relationships, too
F. Meanwhile, the researchers observed what was happening in their brains.
G. Those who'd reported better sleep felt much more sympathy for people in trouble.

How to unleash your art potential Traditionally, people may bury themselves 61 learning painting skills at an atelier (画室) and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, 62 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method.

For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, 65 (plant) a variety of different colorful flowers, as well as flax (亚麻) to make linen (亚麻布) and paper 66 (use) in art. “I’ve been doing it my whole life,” she told the University Record website. “I’ve been drawing since I was 2. It’s never been a question for me that I would do something art-related, but rather 67 more specific art-related thing I’ll end up doing.”
Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables 68_________ (tradition) used to dye (染色) fabrics. She then put their peels into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye.

Last night, I watched a TV program, what was about transforming a small old apartment into the modern place. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I see the final image the house. My father, an architect, tells me that changing the structure and even if how the walls look is fairly hardly.

范文：
Dear Peter，
I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your addiction to online games which has had a bad influence on your health. As a friend, I would like to offer you some advice concerning how to get rid of it and lead a normal life.
First and foremost, you should limit the time spent on computer games and pay more attention to other things. For example, doing some light reading in your spare time is a productive choice to kill time. Every time you feel like playing online games, remind yourself to reach for a book.
In addition, it would be a good idea if you regularly work out for half an hour every day, which will definitely help strengthen your body and lift your spirits.
What’s more, it would be beneficial to form the habit of going to bed and getting up at a fixed time.
I know it’s extremely tough but I do hope you will do your utmost to give it up so as to live a healthy life, mentally and physically.
