You know that classics like LittleWomen and ToKillaMockingbird started as novels.But you probably didn’t know that these other famous movies also came from books.
HiddenFigures
This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s.It was actually based on a 2016 nonfiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
ForrestGump
The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards,including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks.Although the movie’s box-office success gave the book a huge boost,it’s the film that made its mark on pop culture history.
TheGirlontheTrain
Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller,about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window,was a huge success.But unlike the fast-paced,can’t-be-put-down quality of the novel,the movie was boring.
FieldofDreams
It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie:Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield,and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams,childhood heroes,and healing the pain of the past.The 1989 movie is adapted from W.P.Kinsella’s 1982 original,ShoelessJoe,but cuts out some extra characters.

I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I was always an enthusiastic reader,sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties,I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother,the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library,where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read,using different voices,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now,I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist,I’ve found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers,a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries,in their own way,help fight book piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
24.Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A.Cooperative. B.Uneasy. C.Inseparable. D.Casual.
25.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.Pleasure from working in the library.
B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D.A closer bond developed with the readers.
26.What does the author call on other writers to do
A.Sponsor book fairs. B.Write for social media.
C.Support libraries. D.Purchase her novels.
27.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Reading:A Source of Knowledge B.My Idea About Writing
C.Library:A Haven for the Young D.My Love of the Library

A world-famous Canadian author,Margaret Atwood,has created the world’s first long-distance signing device(装置),the LongPen.
After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city,Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them.She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004.Together they designed the LongPen.Here’s how it works:The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen.On the receiving end,in another city,a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book.The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室).At first,they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be.The device went through several versions,including one that actually had smoke coming out of it.The inventing finally completed,test runs were made in Ottawa,and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair.From here,Atwood conducted two transatlantic(横跨大西洋的) book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time.It has several other potential applications.It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province.The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
“It’s really fun,” said the owner of a bookstore,who was present for one of the test runs.“Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author,but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing.”
The response to the invention has not been all favorable.Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours.But she said,“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it.”
28.Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen
A.To set up her own company.
B.To win herself greater popularity.
C.To write her books in a new way.
D.To make book signings less tiring.
29.How does the LongPen work
A.It copies the author’s signature and prints it on a book.
B.It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature.
C.The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city.
D.The fan uses it to copy the author’s signature himself.
30.What do we know about the invention of the LongPen
A.It has been completed but not put into use.
B.The basement caught fire by accident.
C.Some versions failed before its test run.
D.The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
31.What could be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6
A.Atwood doesn’t mean to end book tours.
B.Critics think the LongPen is of little use.
C.Bookstore owners don’t support the LongPen.
D.Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost.

THEFACE-DOWNGENERATION
If you’re reading this,you were probably born in the 2000s.The 21st century.That would make you young,creative,connected,global,and no doubt smart.Maybe good-looking,too.Right 36
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you.They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. 37 Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life—or “IRL”,as you would say
38 Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and plan everything for them. 39 With parents who do everything for them,today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well,probably not.The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations.They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. 40 There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
If you are one of the face-down generation,there’s reason to be hopeful about the future.Chances are that you will do great and laugh out loud.
A.And what do you think of the online world
B.But what do other people think about your generation
C.More young people volunteer to help their communities.
D.Children are free to play computer games on weekends.
E.They wonder how you will deal with school,friends,and family.
F.Others think that today’s youth don’t want to face the challenges of adult life.
G.They are scheduled with homework and extra-curricular activities every day.

(2022·江苏扬州宝应县高一上学期期中)
It was our first evening dog-sitting while our daughter was on holiday in Costa Rica.Louie,her dog,searched the house for his “mommy”.Then,that disappointed but determined dog had a plan.
While my husband Paul and I were watching TV,we heard loud sounds on the stairs.Something heavy was being dragged (拖) down the stairs.I turned around and found this six-month-old dog was dragging his large carrier down the stairs.
Louie looked at us,moved his tail and ran back up the stairs.We were curious about what he was doing.
We watched in amazement as Louie dragged his personal things,one by one,down the stairs:his blanket,bowl,ball and sweater.This project took most of the evening,and Louie never got tired.
What happened next made us realize that not only did this dog have a purpose but he obviously put thought and reasoning into each move.He put his things in the carrier.This was extremely difficult as the carrier had a lip(口,边) that was taller than him.
After Louie finished packing his things,he tried to jump inside.Once inside,he got the zipper (拉链) between his teeth and,with all the strength he had,he pulled up the zipper.I admired his patience.Then he lay down and went to sleep.
The message was very clear.He wanted to see his “mommy”.He had seen her pack her suitcase and go away.He must do the same so he could find her.He stayed in the carrier all night,and when I opened it the next morning,he was very excited.Believing he had arrived,he jumped up—but his “mommy” was not there.Then,I started making notes about Louie’s behaviour.
Louie surprised us with new activities every day.He liked going for a car ride with my husband.The possibility of stopping at McDonald’s for chicken was his favourite.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
One day,my husband didn’t stop at McDonald’s and left Louie in the car with the window open.
It seemed that Louie knew I was recording his story.

第一节
Dear Zhang Ke,
I’ve got your e-mail and think it a wise choice to buy an electronic dictionary.
To begin with,an electronic dictionary much smaller than the common one is convenient to carry.Additionally,you can get what you want in it immediately.Also,it has several dictionaries and you can store material as much as possible because there is RAM in it.What makes it distinguished from others is that it can give you a vivid,clear and correct pronunciation.
I do hope my suggestion will be useful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Oneday,myhusbanddidn’tstopatMcDonald’sandleftLouieinthecarwiththewindowopen.That dog,with short legs,managed to jump out without getting injured.He then walked two blocks in a busy area and found Paul in a store.As Paul was paying for his things,he heard a man say,“Well,little fellow,where did you come from ” Paul was shocked to see Louie,who looked up at him as if to say,“I found you all by myself.” Of course they stopped for some chicken on the way home.
ItseemedthatLouieknewIwasrecordinghisstory.Every time he made me laugh,he would pull me to the desk and move his tail,as if to say,“Please write it down now.” Writing Louie’s story changed my life and set me on the path to a new job as an author and radio talk-show host.Now Louie is an old dog—just as cute,certainly as smart,and still up to his old and new tricks.
