Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You know that classics like Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird started as novels.But you probably didn’t know that these other famous movies also came from books.
Hidden Figures
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 non-fiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
Forrest Gump
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.
The Girl on the Train
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.
Field of Dreams
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 was adapted from W.P.Kinsella’s 1982 original， Shoeless Joe， but cut out some extra characters.
1.Which is the best choice for a person who loves math？（ ）
A.Hidden Figures.
B.Forrest Gump.
C.The Girl on the Train.
D.Field of Dreams.
2.Who has won the Academy Award for Best Actor according to the text？（ ）
A.Paula Hawkin.
B.Winston Groom.
C.Tom Hanks.
D.W.P.Kinsella.
3.What is special about Field of Dreams？（ ）
A.It is a romantic comedy.
B.It presents several themes.
C.It was released in 1982 for the first time.
D.It shows all the figures in Shoeless Joe.
B
My little son is writing his first book.He’s not the first of our family’s second generation to follow in my path.Since outing myself as an author， more than a few of my nephews and nieces have sought to outdo my efforts.Last month， my nephew Daniel laughed at me when I told him it had taken me three years to write my book， since he’d written two that weekend alone.And my niece Anna wrote a story — Two Children， Millions of Doors and Good and Evil — that was generally readable.
I’ve had many conversations with them about their works， because passing my wisdom to the next generation is the least that should be expected of a famous author like me.And I can promise you that these conversations are a two-way street.They help me keep up with the times， and I suggest indirectly that their lack of copyright （没有版权） means I can take their best ideas for my own work any time I choose.They’re smart kids， so they get it.
My son’s first book is about his grandad’s birthday， so luckily Me & Grandad’s Biggest Adventure is every bit the adventure its title suggests.“They saw fruits that they liked，” is its opening line， perhaps because of the fact that he was eating fruits at the time.“Then，” comes the next line， “they saw vegetable monsters （怪物）.”“Then they went to outer space，” appears on the following page， filled with a rocket （火箭） ship， aliens and planets， “and finally” comes the conclusion， “they went to Hook Lighthouse.”
This ending at a landmark on Ireland’s southeast coast is a good example of misdirection and a way to show his respect for his grandad， who takes him there most summers.More importantly， it shows he’s learned the true secret to any good story：take away all the flowery parts and keep it simple.All you really need is a beginning， a middle， and an end.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph？（ ）
A.To describe the efforts he made to be a famous writer.
B.To show his influence on the writing of his family’s children.
C.To compare his nephew Daniel’s story with his niece Anna’s story.
D.To stress the importance of parents reading books to their children.
5.What benefit does the author gain from chatting with his nephews and nieces？（ ）
A.He feels less bored.
B.He draws fresh ideas.
C.He gets a sense of achievement.
D.He has higher expectations for himself.
6.Which event lasts the longest in Me & Grandad’s Biggest Adventure？（ ）
A.The characters explored outer space.
B.The characters fought with monsters.
C.The characters spent time eating fruits.
D.The characters went to Hook Lighthouse.
7.What does the author think of a good story？（ ）
A.It should be based on unusual happenings.
B.It should include a surprising ending.
C.It should have at least three parts.
D.It should be simple and direct.
C
Two “stolen” notebooks， Notebooks B and C， written by Charles Darwin have been mysteriously returned to Cambridge University on 9 March， 22 years after they were last seen， but who returned them is a real whodunit.They were left anonymously （匿名地） in a bright pink gift bag containing the original blue box the notebooks were kept in and a plain brown envelope， on which was printed a short message：“Librarian， Happy Easter X.”
With an action plan to use advanced information technology to preserve important culture heritage， the notebooks were originally removed from the Special Collections Strong Rooms — where the rarest and most valuable items are kept — for photography to take place at the library in September 2000， with the photography request completed in November 2000.During a following routine check in January 2001， it was found that the small box containing the two notebooks had not been returned to its proper place.
For many years， previous university librarians believed that the notebooks had been misplaced in the vast storerooms and collections of Cambridge University Library.Despite a number of searches over the years， they remained undiscovered.At the start of 2020， a new search — the largest in the library’s history — was arranged by the librarian Dr Gardner， involving specialist staff assigned to search specific zones of the library’s storage facilities.However， this failed to locate the notebooks， leading to the conclusion， with the help of national experts in cultural heritage theft and recovery， that they had likely been stolen.
In July 1837， Charles Darwin wrote at the top of the page of one of his notebooks， “I think”.Then he drew a sketch （草图） of a tree， attempting to pose to himself the question about what is the origin of species.More than 20 years later， Darwin published On the Origin of Species.Notebooks B and C provide an extraordinary insight into Darwin’s search for the solution to what public in those days had called “that mystery of mysteries”， the origin of new species.
8.Why were Notebooks B and C taken away from their original place？（ ）
A.They were no longer regarded as the rarest and most valuable items.
B.They had to make room for the photography of special collections.
C.They would be presented for a photography exhibition in the library.
D.They needed to be recorded by taking photos for better preservation.
9.When did the library confirm the theft of the notebooks？（ ）
A.After completing the photography.
B.After routine check in January 2001.
C.After the largest search in the library’s history.
D.After discovering the returned notebooks.
10.What can we learn from the passage？（ ）
A.Notebooks B and C used to be kept in a plain brown envelope.
B.It took over 5 months to complete the photography in the library.
C.At first the librarians believed the notebooks hadn’t been stolen.
D.Charles Darwin searched the origin of trees in his notebooks.
11.Which is this passage most likely taken from？（ ）
A.A textbook.
B.A newspaper.
C.A science report.
D.An introduction to a book.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Literature is the body of written works produced by scholars and researchers， who specialise in a given field.Why is literature important？Let’s see.
Literary works are descriptions of the thinking patterns and social criteria （准则）.They’re a description of the different aspects of common people’s lives.12.（ ） They also encourage imagination and creativity.Exposing oneself to good literary works is like providing one with the finest educational opportunities.On the other hand， the lack of exposure to good literature is equal to depriving （剥夺） one of the opportunity to grow.
Some of the great literary works provide society with the guiding principles of life.Works by poets like Homer， Plato， Sappho， Horace and many more are timeless.13.（ ） The Lord of the Rings and A Tale of Two Cities are some of the best-selling books of all time that have entertained several generations.
There are also great works in children’s literature.Amused by the stories they tell， kids associate themselves with these books’ characters and idealise some of them.Moral stories are an aid for parents and teachers to let the kids learn important lessons in life.Aesop， Enid Blyton， and Mark Twain are some of the most widely popular children’s authors.14.（ ）
True， languages are the building blocks of literature.But the study of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages.15.（ ） A degree in language and literature perhaps can’t provide one with everything literature can offer.Its scope （范围） is so deep and wide that even a lifetime may not be enough to really study literature.
16.（ ） Great literary and poetic works help a person take a closer look at the different aspects of living.In many ways， literature， in its different forms， can change one’s attitude towards living.
A.Literature helps understand life.
B.Literature has an effect on health and wealth.
C.They have enriched the childhoods of so many.
D.Classical literary works serve as food for thought.
E.In fact， literature can’t be limited to an educational course.
F.They have always amused their readers and will continue to.
G.Instead， literature lays the foundation for a wealthy life， adding “life” to “living”.

语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部根据文学作品改编的著名影片。
1.A 细节理解题。根据Hidden Figures中的第一句可知，Hidden Figures讲述了真实人物凯瑟琳·约翰逊和其他非洲裔女性数学家的故事，所以喜欢数学的人可以选择这部电影。

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在写作方面影响了家族中的下一代，并着重介绍了他儿子写的故事。
4.B 目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知，作者是一名作家，在他的影响下，他的儿子、侄子和侄女都追随他的脚步创作自己的故事书，他甚至评价侄女Anna的故事可读性强。由此推断，本段中作者介绍了他在写作方面给家族的孩子们产生的影响。本段中的out作动词，意为“揭露，公布（别人想要保守的秘密）”；outdo作动词，意为“胜过”。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知，作者在与他的侄子和侄女聊天中受益匪浅，获得了一些新的写作灵感。
6.A 推理判断题。倒数第二段作者详细介绍了他儿子创作的故事内容，作者儿子写的故事中，关于他们（故事的主人公们）在外太空的篇幅长达一页。由此可知，该故事中这个事件持续时间最长。

6 / 6Section Ⅰ Welcome to the unit & Reading
The wonder of literature①
[1]A child and a man were walking on the beach when the child found a shell② and held it to his ear.Suddenly he heard strange， low， musical sounds.These sounds seemed to be from another world and the child listened to them with wonder.[2]Then the man explained that the child heard nothing strange， and that the shell caught a range of③ sounds too faint for human ears.[3]What amazed the child was not a new world， but the unnoticed④ music of the old.
[1]be doing ...when ...意为“正在做……这时……”，when用作并列连词，表示“就在这时/那时”，相当于and at this/that time。
[2]explained后接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that可以省略，但是第二个that不可以省略。
[3]What amazed the child是主语从句，且What在从句中作主语；not ...but ...意为“不是……而是……”，连接两个并列成分。
Some such experience as this lies in store⑤ for us when we begin the study of literature.[4]Let a little song appeal⑥ to the ear， or a great book to the heart， and we discover a new world， a world of dreams and magic.To enter and enjoy this new world， we need to love literature， and make an effort to explain it.[5]Behind every book is a man， behind the man is the race， and behind the race are the natural and social environments.We must know all these， if the book is to speak its whole message.[6]In a word， we have now reached a point where we wish to enjoy and understand literature.The first step is to determine⑦ some of its significant⑧qualities.
[4]句中or a great book to the heart是省略句，完整的表述是or let a great book appeal to the heart。使用省略的目的是避免重复，使语言精练。
[5]本句使用了排比的修辞手法，可以增强语言感染力。三个分句都是表语前置的完全倒装句。
[6]句中where引导定语从句，修饰先行词point。 The first quality of literature is its description⑨ of truth and beauty.[7]Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive⑩ human soul brings them to our attention， just as the shellreflects the unnoticed sounds.A hundred men may pass a field and see only dead grass； but a poet stops， looks deeper， sees truth and beauty， and writes，“Yesterday’s flowers am I.”[8]One who reads it is capable of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before.
[7]本句主句是“主系表”结构的句子。until引导时间状语从句； as引导方式状语从句。
[8]句中who reads it是定语从句，修饰先行词One； 主句谓语是is capable of； that was hidden from his eyes before 是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the beauty。
The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and imagination.[9]Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says.[10]When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen， “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships？” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world， a world of love， beauty and heroism.
[11]The third quality of literature， coming out of the other two， is its permanence .To achieve this， it should contain two elements： universal interest and personal style.Good literature reflects the most basic of human nature — love and hate， joy and sadness， fear and hope.It also takes on a personal style—no writer can describe human life without reflecting his own life and experiences.
[9]句中what it awakens 和 what it says均为what引导的宾语从句，作lies in的宾语。
[10]When引导时间状语从句；that引导定语从句；through which our imagination enters ...是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词 door。
[11]句中coming out of the other two是动词-ing短语作定语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句which comes out of the other two。
In summary ， literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty， the written record of man’s thoughts and feelings，and the history of the human soul.
（Adapted from William J.Long’s English Literature： Its History and Its Significance for the Life of the English-Speaking World）

【参考译文】
文学的奇妙之处
孩子和男人在海滩上散步，孩子发现了一枚贝壳，把它放到了耳边。突然，他听到了奇怪、低沉、悦耳的声音。这声音仿佛来自另一个世界，孩子听后十分惊奇。随后男子解释说其实孩子听到的声音并没有什么奇怪的，只不过是贝壳捕捉到了各种对人的耳朵来说太微弱的声音而已。让孩子为之惊奇的其实不是一个新世界，而是旧世界那被人忽视的乐音。
当我们开始学习文学的时候，我们可能就会有一些像这样的体验。让一首小曲娱悦我们的耳朵，让一部巨著触动我们的心灵，这样我们便会发现一个全新的世界，一个充满梦想和魔力的世界。要进入这个新世界，并享受其中的乐趣，我们需要热爱文学，并尽力去解读它。每本书背后都有一个人，此人身后是一个族群，这个族群背后是自然和社会环境。如果一本书要传递完整的信息，我们就必须理解所有这些内容。总之，我们现在已经到了想要欣赏和理解文学的阶段。第一步是确定它的一些重要特质。
文学的第一个特质是它对真与美的描写。有些真与美一直不为人所察觉，直到一个敏锐的人类灵魂让它们引起我们的注意，这就正如贝壳把那些被人忽视的声音呈现出来一样。一百个人路过一片田野时，眼中所见的可能都只是枯草，而一位诗人则会停下脚步，看得更透，他看到真与美，并且写下这样的诗句：“昨日我曾是鲜花。”读到这句诗的人可以发现曾视而不见的美。
文学的第二个特质在于它能打动我们的情感，启发我们的想象力。文学的魅力更多在于它唤起了我们什么，而不在于它说了什么。当克里斯托弗·马洛笔下的浮士德博士当着海伦的面问道：“这就是让一千艘战舰起航的那张面孔吗？”他便打开了一扇门，通过这扇门，我们的想象力抵达了一个充满爱、美和英雄主义的新世界。
文学的第三个特质是其持久的生命力，它源于前两个特质。要实现这一点，它须包含两个要素：广泛的关切和个人的风格。好的文学作品反映了人性最基本的本质——爱与恨、喜与悲、恐惧与希望。它也带有个人风格——没有哪个作家能够在描写人类的生活时不反映其个人生活和经历。
总之，文学是以真和美的形式对生命的表达，是人类思想和感情的写照，是人类灵魂的历史。
（改编自威廉· J.朗恩的《英国文学：历史及其对英语世界生活的意义》）

[1]A child and a man were walking on the beach when the child
found a shell② and held it to his ear.Suddenly he heard strange， low，
musical sounds.These sounds seemed to be from another world and the
child listened to them with wonder.[2]Then the man explained that the
child heard nothing strange， and that the shell caught a range of③ sounds
too faint for human ears.[3]What amazed the child was not a new
world， but the unnoticed④ music of the old.
The wonder of literature①
[1]be doing ...when ...意为“正在做……这时……”，when用
作并列连词，表示“就在这时/那时”，相当于and at this/that time。
[2]explained后接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that可以省
略，但是第二个that不可以省略。
[3]What amazed the child是主语从句，且What在从句中作主语；
not ...but ...意为“不是……而是……”，连接两个并列成分。
【读文清障】
①literature n.文学，文学作品
works of literature 文学作品
classic literature 经典文学
literary adj.文学的，文学上的
literal adj.文字上的，字面意义的
②shell n.贝壳；壳
hold shell to one’s ear 把贝壳放在耳边
③a range of 一系列……，各种各样的
④unnoticed adj.未受到注意的；被忽视的；未被看见的
Some such experience as this lies in store⑤ for us when we begin the
study of literature.[4]Let a little song appeal⑥ to the ear， or a great
book to the heart， and we discover a new world， a world of dreams and
magic.To enter and enjoy this new world， we need to love literature，
and make an effort to explain it.[5]Behind every book is a man， behind
the man is the race， and behind the race are the natural and social
environments.We must know all these， if the book is to speak its whole
message.[6]In a word， we have now reached a point where we wish to
enjoy and understand literature.The first step is to determine⑦ some of its
significant⑧qualities.
[4]句中or a great book to the heart是省略句，完整的表述是or let
a great book appeal to the heart。使用省略的目的是避免重复，使语言
精练。
[5]本句使用了排比的修辞手法，可以增强语言感染力。三个分
句都是表语前置的完全倒装句。
[6]句中where引导定语从句，修饰先行词point。
⑤in store （for sb）即将发生（在某人身上），等待着（某人）
⑥appeal vi.有吸引力；申诉；呼吁 n.吸引力；申诉；呼吁

⑦determine vt.确定；支配；决心vi.决心
determined adj.坚决的，果断的，有决心的
determination n.决心，果断
⑧significant adj.有重要意义的，显著的
significance n.重要性，意义
The first quality of literature is its description⑨ of truth and
beauty.[7]Some truth and beauty remain unnoticed until a sensitive⑩
human soul brings them to our attention， just as the shell reflects the
unnoticed sounds.A hundred men may pass a field and see only dead
grass； but a poet stops， looks deeper， sees truth and beauty， and
writes，“Yesterday’s flowers am I. ”[8]One who reads it is capable
of seeing the beauty that was hidden from his eyes before.
[7]本句主句是“主系表”结构的句子。until引导时间状语从
句； as引导方式状语从句。
[8]句中who reads it是定语从句，修饰先行词One； 主句谓语是
is capable of； that was hidden from his eyes before 是that引导的定语从
句，修饰先行词the beauty。
⑨description n.描述，形容，说明
give a detailed description of 对……作详细的说明
⑩sensitive adj.感觉敏锐的；体贴的；敏感的；灵敏的
a sensitive human soul 一个敏锐的人类灵魂
reflect vt.& vi.反映，显示；映出（影像）；反射（声、光、热
等）；沉思
reflection n.反射；反映；沉思
capable adj.有能力，有才能；能力强的
be capable of 能够；有能力
The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and
imagination.[9]Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than
what it says.[10]When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in
the presence of Helen， “Was this the face that launched a thousand
ships？” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new
world， a world of love， beauty and heroism.
[11]The third quality of literature， coming out of the other two， is
its permanence .To achieve this， it should contain two elements：
universal interest and personal style.Good literature reflects the most
basic of human nature — love and hate， joy and sadness， fear and
hope.It also takes on a personal style—no writer can describe human life
without reflecting his own life and experiences.
[9]句中what it awakens 和 what it says均为what引导的宾语从
句，作lies in的宾语。
[10]When引导时间状语从句；that引导定语从句；through which
our imagination enters ...是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修
饰先行词 door。
[11]句中coming out of the other two是动词-ing短语作定语，相当
于一个非限制性定语从句which comes out of the other two。
lie in 在于
[同义]consist in 在于；存在于
awaken vt.& vi.唤起，被唤起；（使） 醒来
awake vt.& vi.唤醒；（使）醒来；唤起，被唤起
adj.醒着的（尤指入睡前或刚醒时）
launch vt.使（船）下水；开始从事，发动

permanence n.永久，持久性

[联想] sth included/including sth包括某物
universal adj.普遍的，共同的；普遍存在的
universal interest 广泛的关切
a universal language 通用语言
human nature 人性
take on 承担；呈现，具有；雇用
In summary ， literature is the expression of life in forms of truth
and beauty， the written record of man’s thoughts and feelings，and the
history of the human soul.
（Adapted from William J. Long’s English Literature： Its History
and Its Significance for the Life of the English-Speaking World）
summary n.总结，概括，概要

【参考译文】
文学的奇妙之处
孩子和男人在海滩上散步，孩子发现了一枚贝壳，把它放到了耳
边。突然，他听到了奇怪、低沉、悦耳的声音。这声音仿佛来自另一
个世界，孩子听后十分惊奇。随后男子解释说其实孩子听到的声音并
没有什么奇怪的，只不过是贝壳捕捉到了各种对人的耳朵来说太微弱
的声音而已。让孩子为之惊奇的其实不是一个新世界，而是旧世界那
被人忽视的乐音。
当我们开始学习文学的时候，我们可能就会有一些像这样的体
验。让一首小曲娱悦我们的耳朵，让一部巨著触动我们的心灵，这样
我们便会发现一个全新的世界，一个充满梦想和魔力的世界。要进入
这个新世界，并享受其中的乐趣，我们需要热爱文学，并尽力去解读
它。每本书背后都有一个人，此人身后是一个族群，这个族群背后是
自然和社会环境。如果一本书要传递完整的信息，我们就必须理解所
有这些内容。总之，我们现在已经到了想要欣赏和理解文学的阶段。
第一步是确定它的一些重要特质。
文学的第一个特质是它对真与美的描写。有些真与美一直不为人
所察觉，直到一个敏锐的人类灵魂让它们引起我们的注意，这就正如
贝壳把那些被人忽视的声音呈现出来一样。一百个人路过一片田野
时，眼中所见的可能都只是枯草，而一位诗人则会停下脚步，看得更
透，他看到真与美，并且写下这样的诗句：“昨日我曾是鲜花。”读
到这句诗的人可以发现曾视而不见的美。
文学的第二个特质在于它能打动我们的情感，启发我们的想象
力。文学的魅力更多在于它唤起了我们什么，而不在于它说了什么。
当克里斯托弗·马洛笔下的浮士德博士当着海伦的面问道：“这就是让
一千艘战舰起航的那张面孔吗？”他便打开了一扇门，通过这扇门，
我们的想象力抵达了一个充满爱、美和英雄主义的新世界。 文学
的第三个特质是其持久的生命力，它源于前两个特质。要实现这一
点，它须包含两个要素：广泛的关切和个人的风格。好的文学作品反
映了人性最基本的本质——爱与恨、喜与悲、恐惧与希望。它也带有
个人风格——没有哪个作家能够在描写人类的生活时不反映其个人生
活和经历。
总之，文学是以真和美的形式对生命的表达，是人类思想和感情
的写照，是人类灵魂的历史。
（改编自威廉· J. 朗恩的《英国文学：历史及其对英语世界生活
的意义》）

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You know that classics like Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird
started as novels.But you probably didn’t know that these other famous
movies also came from books.
Hidden Figures
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 non-fiction
book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
Forrest Gump
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.
The Girl on the Train
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.
Field of Dreams
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 was adapted from W. P.
Kinsella’s 1982 original， Shoeless Joe， but cut out some extra
characters.

B
My little son is writing his first book.He’s not the first of our
family’s second generation to follow in my path.Since outing myself as
an author， more than a few of my nephews and nieces have sought to
outdo my efforts.Last month， my nephew Daniel laughed at me when I
told him it had taken me three years to write my book， since he’d
written two that weekend alone.And my niece Anna wrote a story — Two
Children， Millions of Doors and Good and Evil — that was generally
readable.
I’ve had many conversations with them about their works， because
passing my wisdom to the next generation is the least that should be
expected of a famous author like me.And I can promise you that these
conversations are a two-way street.They help me keep up with the times，
and I suggest indirectly that their lack of copyright （没有版权） means I
can take their best ideas for my own work any time I choose.They’re
smart kids， so they get it.
My son’s first book is about his grandad’s birthday， so luckily
Me & Grandad’s Biggest Adventure is every bit the adventure its title
suggests.“They saw fruits that they liked，” is its opening line，
perhaps because of the fact that he was eating fruits at the
time.“Then，” comes the next line， “they saw vegetable monsters
（怪物）.”“Then they went to outer space，” appears on the
following page， filled with a rocket （火箭） ship， aliens and
planets， “and finally” comes the conclusion， “they went to Hook
Lighthouse.”
This ending at a landmark on Ireland’s southeast coast is a good
example of misdirection and a way to show his respect for his grandad，
who takes him there most summers.More importantly， it shows he’s
learned the true secret to any good story：take away all the flowery parts
and keep it simple.All you really need is a beginning， a middle， and an
end.

Two “stolen” notebooks， Notebooks B and C， written by
Charles Darwin have been mysteriously returned to Cambridge University
on 9 March， 22 years after they were last seen， but who returned them
is a real whodunit.They were left anonymously （匿名地） in a bright
pink gift bag containing the original blue box the notebooks were kept in
and a plain brown envelope， on which was printed a short message：
“Librarian， Happy Easter X. ”
With an action plan to use advanced information technology to
preserve important culture heritage， the notebooks were originally
removed from the Special Collections Strong Rooms — where the rarest
and most valuable items are kept — for photography to take place at the
library in September 2000， with the photography request completed in
November 2000.During a following routine check in January 2001， it
was found that the small box containing the two notebooks had not been
returned to its proper place.
For many years， previous university librarians believed that the
notebooks had been misplaced in the vast storerooms and collections of
Cambridge University Library.Despite a number of searches over the
years， they remained undiscovered.At the start of 2020， a new
search — the largest in the library’s history — was arranged by the
librarian Dr Gardner， involving specialist staff assigned to search specific
zones of the library’s storage facilities.However， this failed to locate
the notebooks， leading to the conclusion， with the help of national
experts in cultural heritage theft and recovery， that they had likely been
stolen.
In July 1837， Charles Darwin wrote at the top of the page of one of
his notebooks， “I think”.Then he drew a sketch （草图） of a tree，
attempting to pose to himself the question about what is the origin of
species.More than 20 years later， Darwin published On the Origin of
Species.Notebooks B and C provide an extraordinary insight into
Darwin’s search for the solution to what public in those days had called
“that mystery of mysteries”， the origin of new species.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了两本被盗的笔记本被

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Literature is the body of written works produced by scholars and
researchers， who specialise in a given field.Why is literature important？
Let’s see.
Literary works are descriptions of the thinking patterns and social
criteria （准则）.They’re a description of the different aspects of
common people’s lives.12.（ ） They also encourage imagination
and creativity.Exposing oneself to good literary works is like providing
one with the finest educational opportunities.On the other hand， the lack
of exposure to good literature is equal to depriving （剥夺） one of the
opportunity to grow.
Some of the great literary works provide society with the guiding
principles of life.Works by poets like Homer， Plato， Sappho， Horace
and many more are timeless.13.（ ） The Lord of the Rings and A
Tale of Two Cities are some of the best-selling books of all time that have
entertained several generations.
There are also great works in children’s literature.Amused by the
stories they tell， kids associate themselves with these books’ characters
and idealise some of them.Moral stories are an aid for parents and teachers
to let the kids learn important lessons in life.Aesop， Enid Blyton， and
Mark Twain are some of the most widely popular children’s authors.14.
（ ）
True， languages are the building blocks of literature.But the study
of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages.15.（ ）
A degree in language and literature perhaps can’t provide one with
everything literature can offer.Its scope （范围） is so deep and wide that
even a lifetime may not be enough to really study literature.
16. （ ） Great literary and poetic works help a person take a
closer look at the different aspects of living.In many ways， literature，
in its different forms， can change one’s attitude towards living.
A. Literature helps understand life.
B. Literature has an effect on health and wealth.
C. They have enriched the childhoods of so many.
D. Classical literary works serve as food for thought.
E. In fact， literature can’t be limited to an educational course.
F. They have always amused their readers and will continue to.
G. Instead， literature lays the foundation for a wealthy life， adding
“life” to “living”.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了文学的重要性。
12. D 设空处后一句提到了文学作品的其中一个作用，根据其中的
关键词also可知，设空处也应提到文学作品的作用。D项（经典文学
作品是思想的食粮）符合语境。
13. F 空前一句论述了一些伟大的诗人的作品是永不过时的，F项
（它们总是为读者提供消遣，并将继续这样做）符合语境，接着论述
这些作品的影响力，F项中的They指代前一句中的Works。
14. C 根据本段首句可知，本段介绍的是儿童文学的影响；空前
一句列举了一些儿童文学作家，C项（他们丰富了许多人的童年）
与本段儿童文学主题一致，C项中的They指代前一句中提到的儿童
文学作家。
15. E 空前一句指出文学研究不能局限于语言研究，空后一句又指
出一个语言文学学位也许不能提供文学所能提供的一切。由此可推
知，文学范围很广，不能仅限于语言研究，E项（事实上，文学不能
局限于一门教育课程）与此处语义一致，符合语境。
16. A 结合空后的内容可知，本段主要讲述文学对生活的影响。故A
项（文学有助于理解生活）符合语境，能够概括本段主旨。
谢谢观看！
