The Color Purple
Alice Walker
Set in rural Georgia at the turn of the last century, Alice Walker’s epic novel weaves the heartbreaking and hopeful tale of Celie, an uneducated black teen fighting for her dignity and freedom. The novel bravely and honestly addresses issues like women’s struggles and ultimate resilience. Published in 1982, it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the National Book Award.
Catcher in the Rye
J. D. Salinger
Poetic and heartfelt Holden Coalfield is one of the most famous literary characters of all time.

Isabel Allende
The 1982 novel—the best-selling Spanish-language novel of all time—revolves around three generations of Trueba women. Females’ struggle and themes of ancestors exist in all parts of the book, as is magic; no surprise since this work of magical realism was influenced by Gabriel Garcfa Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, which won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The Joy Luck Club
Amy Tan

Are you terrified of what’s to come in the future What if we don’t get into our dream schools What’s plan B So much is on our 17-to 18-year-old minds. I didn’t exactly create aback up plan. I just adapted to every new situation I was put in.Here’s how my life didn’t go as planned, but I’m happier than ever.
In the year of 2016, I went into my dream school—Washington State University, where I’d beat tending school to study engineering. I visited my future school after I was already accepted. It was a school away from a major city. Cold feet came over me and I backed out of the school just before orientation (适应). This was a tough decision, but my heart wasn’t in it.When your heart isn’t in it, all you need to do is adjust.
My mom and I went to the Army recruiter’s (征兵人员的) office, where I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an Engineer. I’d never had a firm grasp of my identity from high school, so attending a military boot camp gave me a clean slate (新的开始), where I could become the person I wanted to be. When I came back home as an Army Engineer, I became one of the most confident people in my household. Everything seemed to be going to a plan that I had barely thought out. By the time I returned home in July of 2017 from Engineer training, I decided to enroll in my local community college. I had no high expectations for how community college would go. Turns out that my college was one of the best in the area and had a very diverse group of people from high schools I’d never interacted with. The people I met through clubs and classes at community college were beyond amazing people. I have friends for life.
I would not be where I am today without taking so many risks. I am grateful to my supportive parents and enlightening friends.

People whose brains are high in vitamin D are less forgetful in old age, a new study suggests.Scientists in America examined samples of brain tissue from 209 older adults who had died, finding for the first time that vitamin D is present in four key areas of the brain. Levels were higher in people who did not suffer dementia (痴呆) and showed less cognitive (认知) decline in the years before their death, said the research team from Tufts University in Massachusetts.
The body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin, and it is also found in foods including oily fish and red meat. Besides, milk and orange juice contain vitamin D, which helps to boost the body’s immune response and to maintain healthy bones.
The study looked at vitamin D in four regions of the brain — two associated with changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease, one associated with dementia caused by poor blood flow, and the other region which is not linked to memory loss. High vitamin D levels in all four regions of the brain are connected with better cognitive function including language skills, memory and attention duration.
However, the scientists said it was unclear exactly how vitamin D might affect brain function or whether it helps to prevent dementia. Dr Kyla Shea, the lead author of the study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, said, “We now know that vitamin D is present in reasonable amounts in human brains, and it seems to be connected with lessdec line in cognitive function. But we need to do more research to identify the neurophysiology (神经病理学) about why vitamin D is linked to brain function before we start designing future interventions such as telling people to eat more foods with vitamin D.”
8. What does the research find about vitamin D in older adults’ brain
A. It has something to do with cognition.
B. It is to blame for memory loss.
C. It speeds up the aging process.
D. It prevents people developing dementia.
9. How can we obtain necessary vitamin D
A. By taking pills.
B. By exercising regularly.
C. By bathing in the sun.
D. By drinking apple juice.
10. Which of the following is a result of high vitamin D in the brain
A. Lack of attention.
B Poor blood flow.
C. Quicker language learning.
D. Continuous memory loss.
11. What may the future research focus on according to Dr Kyla Shea
A. Varieties of foods rich in vitamin D.
B. The amount of vitamin D in human brains.
C. Methods of improving brain function quickly.
D. Reasons for the influence of vitamin D on the brain.
D
Greta Thunberg may be the voice of a generation alarmed about climate change but she is also the voice of a generation failing to do much about it. A new study shows that young people, are taking less action to lower their carbon footprint than older Britons and are much worse at taking simple steps to help the environment, such as recycling.
The YouGov survey of 1,008 Britons found that more than 80 per cent of 18-to 24-year-old say they are worried about global warming compared with nearly 70 per cent of the over -65s. A higher proportion (比例) of young people also believe that urgent action is required to deal, with climate change. However, nearly 90 per cent of the over-65s say they recycle as much as possible compared with only half of young people. The over-65s are also more likely to have reduced the number of flights they take, to take steps to save water and to repair items. They are also more likely to turn the heating down and switch off lights in rooms they are not using.
Overall, the study found that 74 per cent of Britons are concerned about climate change and 70 per cent believe urgent action is required. However, the data suggests that the economic climate is affecting people’s willingness to act. Over half of the people questioned said that dealing with, the cost of living is a greater priority than making changes to lower their environmental impact.
Claudine Blamey, group sustainability director at Aviva, said, “The majority of UK residents believe urgent action is required to tackle environmental change. It’s heartening to see that older generations are leading the way through their climate-conscious behaviors and younger people are committing to doing more.” “It is vital that people realize making a difference is within their gift, helping their families, communities and country to get ready,” he added.
12. How did researchers of the YouGov survey support their findings
A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.
C. By quoting statistical data. D. By presenting theoretical basis.
13. What can be known from paragraph 3
A. Measures have been taken to get around climate change.
B. Many people in Britain are struggling with their living cost.
C. Most people are unwilling to act to protect the environment.
D. Changes made to lower environmental impact are most effective.
14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “heartening” in the last paragraph
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Disturbing D. Inspiring
15. What is the best title for the text
A Britons Lead the Way in Protecting the Environment
B. Action Speaks Louder Regarding Climate Change
C. It Is an Urgent Need to Reduce Carbon Footprint
D. Young People Fail to Act on Carbon Concerns

Monday morning started out like any other school day. Ms. Castle assigned topics for the school science fair. Anxious, Anna silently begged not to receive the bugs topic. Ms. Castle stopped in front of Anna’s desk and placed the piece of paper on it.
Science topic: Beetle (甲虫)
Partner: Tali Perkins
A small sigh escaped Anna’s mouth. Beetles and Tali known for her know-it-all attitude, are two things Anna feared. Throughout the day, she couldn’t shake off her worry about them.
On Tuesday morning, Tali ran up to Anna before class started and said, “I told Ms. Castle we’d catch a beetle and put it on display. She approved our proposal so we’re good to go.” Hearing this, Anna shouted, “Why didn’t you ask for my opinion Weren’t we supposed to make decisions together ”
“I didn’t think you’d mind,” Tali said. “I know you’re not good at science.” Before Anna could say anything, Tali turned and walked away. Anna took a while to cool down and wrote an email to Tali.
Tali,
I’m a little upset that you chose our project without my input. I think it was unfair. I know a lot about science. I just don’t like beetles. I’ve had beetles crawl (爬) over my feet, and it was NOT FUN!
Your partner,
Anna
The next morning, Tali brought a collection of beetle photographs, which she thought could help Anna get used to beetles. And then Tali invited Anna to collect beetles in the woods that night. Unwillingly, Anna joined Tali and was amazed to find the beetle interesting. She even built a home for their beetles, realizing Tali had helped her overcome her fear.
Finishing the beetle display, Anna invited Tali to prepare the class talk together. Tali hesitated, but Anna insisted they were a team. Later, Anna received an email from Tali.
Anna,
You’re afraid of beetles, but I am afraid to speak in front of a group. That’s a million times worse. Help!
Your partner,
Tali

Are you terrified of what’s to come in the future What if we don’t get into our dream schools What’s plan B So much is on our 17-to 18-year-old minds. I didn’t exactly create aback up plan. I just adapted to every new situation I was put in.Here’s how my life didn’t go as planned, but I’m happier than ever.
In the year of 2016, I went into my dream school—Washington State University, where I’d beat tending school to study engineering. I visited my future school after I was already accepted. It was a school away from a major city. Cold feet came over me and I backed out of the school just before orientation (适应). This was a tough decision, but my heart wasn’t in it.When your heart isn’t in it, all you need to do is adjust.
My mom and I went to the Army recruiter’s (征兵人员的) office, where I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an Engineer. I’d never had a firm grasp of my identity from high school, so attending a military boot camp gave me a clean slate (新的开始), where I could become the person I wanted to be. When I came back home as an Army Engineer, I became one of the most confident people in my household. Everything seemed to be going to a plan that I had barely thought out. By the time I returned home in July of 2017 from Engineer training, I decided to enroll in my local community college. I had no high expectations for how community college would go. Turns out that my college was one of the best in the area and had a very diverse group of people from high schools I’d never interacted with. The people I met through clubs and classes at community college were beyond amazing people. I have friends for life.
I would not be where I am today without taking so many risks. I am grateful to my supportive parents and enlightening friends.

People whose brains are high in vitamin D are less forgetful in old age, a new study suggests.Scientists in America examined samples of brain tissue from 209 older adults who had died, finding for the first time that vitamin D is present in four key areas of the brain. Levels were higher in people who did not suffer dementia (痴呆) and showed less cognitive (认知) decline in the years before their death, said the research team from Tufts University in Massachusetts.
The body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin, and it is also found in foods including oily fish and red meat. Besides, milk and orange juice contain vitamin D, which helps to boost the body’s immune response and to maintain healthy bones.
The study looked at vitamin D in four regions of the brain — two associated with changes linked to Alzheimer’s disease, one associated with dementia caused by poor blood flow, and the other region which is not linked to memory loss. High vitamin D levels in all four regions of the brain are connected with better cognitive function including language skills, memory and attention duration.
However, the scientists said it was unclear exactly how vitamin D might affect brain function or whether it helps to prevent dementia. Dr Kyla Shea, the lead author of the study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, said, “We now know that vitamin D is present in reasonable amounts in human brains, and it seems to be connected with lessdec line in cognitive function. But we need to do more research to identify the neurophysiology (神经病理学) about why vitamin D is linked to brain function before we start designing future interventions such as telling people to eat more foods with vitamin D.”
8. What does the research find about vitamin D in older adults’ brain
A. It has something to do with cognition.
B. It is to blame for memory loss.
C. It speeds up the aging process.
D. It prevents people developing dementia.
9. How can we obtain necessary vitamin D
A. By taking pills.
B. By exercising regularly.
C. By bathing in the sun.
D. By drinking apple juice.
10. Which of the following is a result of high vitamin D in the brain
A. Lack of attention.
B. Poor blood flow.
C. Quicker language learning.
D. Continuous memory loss.
11. What may the future research focus on according to Dr Kyla Shea
A. Varieties of foods rich in vitamin D.
B. The amount of vitamin D in human brains.
C. Methods of improving brain function quickly.
D. Reasons for the influence of vitamin D on the brain.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D

Greta Thunberg may be the voice of a generation alarmed about climate change but she is also the voice of a generation failing to do much about it. A new study shows that young people, are taking less action to lower their carbon footprint than older Britons and are much worse at taking simple steps to help the environment, such as recycling.
The YouGov survey of 1,008 Britons found that more than 80 per cent of 18-to 24-year-old say they are worried about global warming compared with nearly 70 per cent of the over -65s. A higher proportion (比例) of young people also believe that urgent action is required to deal, with climate change. However, nearly 90 per cent of the over-65s say they recycle as much as possible compared with only half of young people. The over-65s are also more likely to have reduced the number of flights they take, to take steps to save water and to repair items. They are also more likely to turn the heating down and switch off lights in rooms they are not using.
Overall, the study found that 74 per cent of Britons are concerned about climate change and 70 per cent believe urgent action is required. However, the data suggests that the economic climate is affecting people’s willingness to act. Over half of the people questioned said that dealing with, the cost of living is a greater priority than making changes to lower their environmental impact.
Claudine Blamey, group sustainability director at Aviva, said, “The majority of UK residents believe urgent action is required to tackle environmental change. It’s heartening to see that older generations are leading the way through their climate-conscious behaviors and younger people are committing to doing more.” “It is vital that people realize making a difference is within their gift, helping their families, communities and country to get ready,” he added.
12. How did researchers of the YouGov survey support their findings
A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.
C. By quoting statistical data. D. By presenting theoretical basis.
13. What can be known from paragraph 3
A. Measures have been taken to get around climate change.
B. Many people in Britain are struggling with their living cost.
C. Most people are unwilling to act to protect the environment.
D. Changes made to lower environmental impact are most effective.
14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “heartening” in the last paragraph
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Disturbing D. Inspiring
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Britons Lead the Way in Protecting the Environment
B. Action Speaks Louder Regarding Climate Change
C. It Is an Urgent Need to Reduce Carbon Footprint
D. Young People Fail to Act on Carbon Concerns
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The YouGov survey of 1,008 Britons found that more than 80 per cent of 18-to 24-year-old say they are worried about global warming compared with nearly 70 per cent of the over -65s. A higher proportion (比例) of young people also believe that urgent action is required to deal, with climate change. However, nearly 90 per cent of the over-65s say they recycle as much as possible compared with only half of young people. The over-65s are also more likely to have reduced the number of flights they take, to take steps to save water and to repair items.( YouGov对1008名英国人的调查发现，在18岁至24岁的人群中，超过80%的人表示他们担心全球变暖，而在65岁以上的人群中，这一比例接近70%。更高比例的年轻人还认为，需要采取紧急行动应对气候变化。然而，在65岁以上的人群中，近90%的人表示他们会尽可能地回收垃圾，而年轻人中只有一半这么做。65岁以上的人也更有可能减少乘坐航班的次数，采取措施节约用水和修理物品)”以及第三段“Overall, the study found that 74 per cent of Britons are concerned about climate change and 70per cent believe urgent action is required.(总体而言，研究发现74%的英国人担心气候变化，70%的人认为需要采取紧急行动)”可推知，YouGov调查的研究人员通过引用统计数据来支持他们的发现。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Over half of the people questioned said that dealing with, the cost of living is a greater priority than making changes to lower their environmental impact.(超过一半的受访者表示，处理生活成本比做出改变以降低对环境的影响更重要)”可推知，许多英国人都在为他们的生活成本发愁。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“to see that older generations are leading the way through their climate-conscious behaviors and younger people are committing to doing more”可知，看到老一辈人通过他们的气候意识行为引领潮流，年轻人致力于做更多的事情，这是令人鼓舞的。故划线词意思是“令人鼓舞的”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“A new study shows that young people, are taking less action to lower their carbon footprint than older Britons and are much worse at taking simple steps to help the environment, such as recycling.(一项新的研究表明，与英国老年人相比，年轻人在降低碳足迹方面采取的行动更少，而且在采取回收利用等简单措施保护环境方面做得更差)”可知，文章主要介绍了年轻人对气候变化问题表示担忧，但在采取行动方面不如年长的英国人。由此可知，D选项“年轻人没有对碳问题采取行动”最符合文章标题。故选D。

47. 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。
Monday morning started out like any other school day. Ms. Castle assigned topics for the school science fair. Anxious, Anna silently begged not to receive the bugs topic. Ms. Castle stopped in front of Anna’s desk and placed the piece of paper on it.
Science topic: Beetle (甲虫)
Partner: Tali Perkins
A small sigh escaped Anna’s mouth. Beetles and Tali, known for her know-it-all attitude, are two things Anna feared. Throughout the day, she couldn’t shake off her worry about them.
On Tuesday morning, Tali ran up to Anna before class started and said, “I told Ms. Castle we’d catch a beetle and put it on display. She approved our proposal so we’re good to go.” Hearing this, Anna shouted, “Why didn’t you ask for my opinion Weren’t we supposed to make decisions together ”
“I didn’t think you’d mind,” Tali said. “I know you’re not good at science.” Before Anna could say anything, Tali turned and walked away. Anna took a while to cool down and wrote an email to Tali.
Tali,
I’m a little upset that you chose our project without my input. I think it was unfair. I know a lot about science. I just don’t like beetles. I’ve had beetles crawl (爬) over my feet, and it was NOT FUN!
Your partner,
Anna
The next morning, Tali brought a collection of beetle photographs, which she thought could help Anna get used to beetles. And then Tali invited Anna to collect beetles in the woods that night. Unwillingly, Anna joined Tali and was amazed to find the beetle interesting. She even built a home for their beetles, realizing Tali had helped her overcome her fear.
Finishing the beetle display, Anna invited Tali to prepare the class talk together. Tali hesitated, but Anna insisted they were a team. Later, Anna received an email from Tali.
Anna,
You’re afraid of beetles, but I am afraid to speak in front of a group. That’s a million times worse. Help!
Your partner,
Tali
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anna decided to help Tali overcome her fear.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Anna decided to help Tali overcome her fear. Anna went to the library and borrowed several books on how to overcome the fear of giving a speech. She recorded the important information when she read the books. The next day, she shared what she’d learned with Tali. “Lots of people are afraid of speaking in public, but there are things you can do to get over it,” Anna said. “Practicing with a partner is one way to help. I’m your partner, so let’s practice.” Eventually, Tali was persuaded to be in charge of the talking part.
When the presentation day finally came, Tali still seemed nervous. When it was Tali’s turn to speak, she took a deep breath and began to tell the class all the facts she’d learned about the beetle. When she finished, the applause filled the room. Anna and Tali exchanged proud smiles. They conquered fears and completed their project successfully. The beetle project, though centered on a seemingly ordinary insect, unfolded into an extraordinary journey of overcoming fear, mutual help, and the blossoming of an enduring friendship between Anna and Tali.
