四、阅读理解
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Teenagers have their own TV channels, websites and magazines. So what about books
Last year one publisher, Martins, started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained, “Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they’re realizing that teenagers are just older children, but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.”
Athene Gorr’s novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says, “The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I’m a new writer. Although I’ve got an unusual name which people might remember, nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!”
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series We talked to Sophie Clarke, aged 15. She said, “I’ve read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14—19-year-olds and I agree with that. We’re not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section, lots of teenagers won’t find them so they may not do very well. And it’s a shame there’s no such series as I think lots of teenagers, especially boys, might buy.”

B. It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.

B
(2023山东青岛期中) “There’s no place like home.” This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions (所有物) and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it’s the only affordable place to stay: somewhere where they can receive first-class service from Mum and Dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it’s quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest (窝,巢) to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there’s been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live—or not to leave home at all.
A survey found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn’t afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it’s easy to see why they’re increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC’s Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the “hoteliers”, that’s Mum and Dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing (牺牲) luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”. Emma Craig from Money supermarket says “they’re trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute.”
With parents spending around £1,886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it’s easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That’s before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who’ll be checking into the hotel of Mum and Dad!
5. Which proverb might present the young British’s living conditions
A. A lazy youth, an awful age. B. East or west, home is best.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
6. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds
A. The popularity of living independently. B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The increase of unemployment rate. D. Their parents’ financial offer.
7. What’s Emma Craig’s attitude towards home birds
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Objective(客观的). D. Understandable.
8. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.

Everyone wants to be happy every day, but sometimes we come across some problems which make us feel bad. There are a few ways that we can use to help ourselves to be happier every day.
Measure your progress not your distance to the goal.
When looking at your goals, remember to look at how far you have come towards achieving them. 1 , you will always have a negative feeling. When you measure yourself against where you started, you will be recognizing your achievements, and those deserve to be celebrated.
2 .
Expressing your appreciation for what you have is an important happiness strategy. It’s one that is worth doing on a daily basis. If you’re having trouble thinking of things, you may be thinking too small. You need to widen your view. You can think about nature: the trees, the sun and the sound of a running stream. You can also think about people: family and friends with whom you are grateful to have a relationship. 3 .
Help other people.
There are many benefits that come from helping others, whether helping someone you know or volunteering for a community. 4 . Studies have shown that people who volunteer live longer. Volunteering is also a great tool in the fight against depression because it’s easier to temporarily forget your problems when you turn your attention to the needs of others. Besides, It’s an extremely pleasing activity.
5 and you will have a happier life!
A. Make gratitude (感激) lists
B. You’ve probably heard this before
C. We all have much to be thankful for
D. Use these tips in all areas of your life
