A
Four books that will inspire you to travel the world
There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90
SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60
ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10
NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $30.80
21. Which book has been produced into a film according to the text?
A. Here's to Us. B. Wolf Hall.
C. Beautiful Ruins. D. Where'd You Go, Bernadette.
22. What is the feature of the Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
A. Its low price. B. Its characters.
C. Its content about love. D. Its storytelling and laughs.
23. What are you inspired to do by reading Wolf Hall?
A. Broaden our eyes.
B. Appreciate the English countryside.
C. Know the foreign culture.
D. Experience the joy and sadness of the characters.
24. Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach?
A. Because it's about the author’s hometown island.
B. Because it needs a time machine.
C. Because it's about ancient buildings.
D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.
B
It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.
Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.
It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.
The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.
25. What is the author's wish to his daughter?
A. Getting a good job in the future.
B. Making many friends in her school.
C. Traveling around the world in her life.
D. Having a happy life ever after.
26. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.
B. Life is always full of difficulties and challenges.
C. There are times that life goes against us.
D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.
27. How to get happiness in author's opinion?
A. Reward yourself once a day.
B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.
C. Get rid of those disturbing things.
D. Take charge of your life independently.
28. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show the significance of love.
B. To describe a daughter's growth.
C. To introduce the definition of love.
D. To tell a young father's experience.
C
Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get a picture of the moon that doesn't look blurry! In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a high-quality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera, you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.
Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase except the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phases provide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper. What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it's best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon.
Learn when the moon rises and sets. When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer. This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac(年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area.
Pick a clear night. Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs. Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing. A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography.
Choose a location away from direct light sources. The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures. It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source.
29. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”？
A. Unclear. B. Transparent. C. Confusing. D. Ugly.
30. Why is the new moon not a perfect choice when taking a photo of the moon?
A. Because the new moon is not enjoyed by most people.
B. Because the new moon is visibly seen from the earth.
C. Because it appears at the earliest time of a month.
D. Because the new moon can't be photographed on Earth.
31. Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon?
A. A high-quality camera. B. The skills to set up the camera.
C. A weather app. D. A suitable location.
32. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo.
B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo.
C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo.
D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo.

How to Overcome Challenges in Your Life
We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you'll overcome quite a bit.
Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through.__33__ If you develop that mindset(心态), you'll get it done.
Stay calm and cool-headed. Remain calm when you're facing serious troubles and problems in life. You have to recollect yourself, and calm down. You can't solve problems when you're panicking. Take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. Think things through calmly.
Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don't give up.__34__
Learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges.Simplify the challenge you're facing. Make the challenge easier than it is.Start by breaking it down into steps. As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will overcome them.
__35__ To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It's our own mental stability that's the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you'll actually be able to do it.
A. Stay positive and confident.
B. Most people will avoid any challenge, because they're scared of failing.
C. Develop that confidence in saying there's no way you're going to fail at this.
D. Pick yourself up, and learn from why you've failed, and move on in a positive direction.

Evaluating Sources of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __87__
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __88__
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.__89__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.__90__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
__91__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A. Make choices that are right for you.
B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D. And examine the findings of the original research.
E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.
F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.
G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
第三节 阅读理解 (共5小题，满分10分)
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’s odd love affair with “low technology”， a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual(虚拟的) — so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation(阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting”. At Google's office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished(贫乏的), because they're surrounded by the digital world，” he says. “They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”
This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life，” Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe”， taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office — even simple views of trees and flowers — felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
92. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________．
A. Twitter is having a hard time
B. old cottages are in need of protection
C. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of “low technology”
93. “Low technology” is regarded as something that ________．
A. is related to nature B. is out of date today
C. consumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world
94. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________．
A. have destroyed many pre-industrial arts
B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C. can become intelligent by learning history
D. can regain their individual identity by using machines
95. The writer's attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________．
A. positive B. defensive C. cautious D. doubtful
96. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Past Glories, Future Dreams
B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity

Dear Tom，
How are you? Glad to tell you something about mobile payment in China.
Mobile payment is most popular in China. It has made people's daily life more and more convenient. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes.
By mobile payment, we can pay easily wherever we go. You can buy breakfast on the street and pay by scanning with your smart phone. In the subway station, you scan with your smart phone to purchase your ticket. This is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese — allowing us to bid farewell to the wallet and bank cards. Mobile payment has greatly changed people's lives in China. It seems that China is really leading in some ways and is also sweeping other nations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours，
Li Hua

88. D。根据这一段的句首“Go to the original source.”的暗示可知D项符合语境。关键词original有呼应。
89. F。根据空后“Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.”可知，你得到的信息也可能是不正确的，要仔细读和听来充分地理解。选项中的单词incorrectly和本段第一句的misleading有同义互现。F项符合语境。

【语篇解读】本文介绍了“大自然能够促进人的创造力”这一理念，也就是在自然环境下工作的人们工作效率更高。所以世界上很多大公司都积极创设自然的办公环境来提高员工的创造力。
92. D。推理题。据文章第一段可知19世纪的两座小木屋被运到了San Francisco的Art Deco大楼，现在让工程师在里面工作。根据第二段第一句“The cottages could be an example of the industry’s odd love affair with ‘low technology’，”这里的low technology是指在工业化之前的技术。也就是说现代科技的大公司发现了他们需要低端科技年代的自然环境来提高员工的创造力。所以才会有第一段的做法。故D正确。
93. A。推理题。根据文章最后一段“Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office — even simple views of trees and flowers — felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying.”员工们在自然状态下的办公室里工作会感觉压力更小，更加满意。再根据文章第三段第一句“Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can ‘work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting’．”可知这样做会让员工感觉是在天然的、公园式的环境下工作一样。故low technology 被认为是与自然有关的。故A正确。
94. B。段落大意题。根据第五段第一句和第二句“This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution.”得知人类有重视艺术的传统。故B项正确。
95. A。推理题。根据文章第三段内容可知很多大公司都积极创设一种自然的低端技术的环境来提高员工的创造力。再根据倒数第二段第一句Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities.可知研究人们还认为自然的环境能够恢复员工的精神能力。这些都说明作者认为low technology是非常有好处的。也就是说作者对它的态度是积极的。故A正确。
96. C。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了之前的low technology对现在的高科技公司有很大作用，很多low technology可以被用来装饰办公室，来提高员工的创造力和恢复精神能力。在文章第三段里列举了多个实例，说明本文的主要内容是C项。
【长难句解析】
The cottages could be an example of the industry’s odd love affair with “low technology”， a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺) that exists long before the Internet era.
【翻译】这些小木屋可以被当成工业时代喜欢利用“低端技术”的例子，这是一个与自然世界，存在与网络年代之前的旧手艺有关的概念。
【分析】本句较长，句中的a concept与前面的the industry’s odd love affair with “low technology”是同位语的关系，associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺) that exists long before the Internet era是一个形容词短语做定语修饰名词a concept。其中有定语从句that exists long before the Internet era修饰名词old-school craftsmanship。
