Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隐喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
4、What does the writer think of the book?
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
5、What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?
A. The war leads to their sensitivity.
B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.
D. They both have a miserable childhood.
6、What particularly stirred the writer's emotions?
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
7、What is the purpose of this text?
A. To share the writer's feelings of a book.
B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.
C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story.
D. To analyze the structure of a book.
A lot of media attention has focused on the harmful effects of working long hours. Logging excessive hours at work is rooted in the work culture of the West. From Bay Area startups to various multinationals, their idea is centered around how many hours you can clock at work. It is assumed that the more hours you put into your job, the more career prospects you'll get out of it.
A new study in Europe challenged this assumption, however. From their analysis of nearly 52, 000 people from 36 European countries, they concluded that it's not the number of hours you clock at the office, but how intensely you work during those hours, that affects career-related outcomes. Researchers found people, with similar jobs and education levels, were more likely to suffer poorer well-being and inferior career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods. According to Hans Frankort, a senior lecturer in strategy at Cass Business School, the research suggests career benefits of excessive work effort-longer hours or harder work-may never materialize.
Employers should reduce work intensity rather than try to control excessive hours, the authors concluded.“Compared with overtime, work intensity predicts much greater reductions in well-being and career benefits,”Hans Frankort said.
There is also a range of things for employees to do to ensure they're working smarter, and not just harder. Beth Belle Cooper, a former content creator at Buffer, the social media scheduling app, suggests taking more breaks to refresh your mind and reset your attention span. She also recommends taking naps to consolidate new information in the brain and help you avoid burnout. You might also consider completely unplugging from work more consistently, and for longer periods of time. This is what Sean McCabe and his small team does when they take a week-long vacation every seventh week.
8、What is common in the work culture of western countries？
A. Having bright career prospects.
B. Spending long hours at work.
C. Starting up one's own business.
D. Earning long paid days off work.
9、What can be the effect of working intensely according to the text？
A. It leads to more career challenges.
B. It brings out greater promotion opportunity.
C. It reduces one's work passion and efficiency.
D. It worsens one's health conditions and job outlook.
10、What is advisable to work smarter according to Sean Mccabe？
A. Requiring breaks occasionally.
B. Taking days off work regularly.
C. Catching up on sleep properly.
D. Refreshing one's brain constantly.
11、What does the text mainly intend to tell us?
A. Working intensively is necessary.
B. Working whole-heartedly is useless.
C. Working more diligently does more harm.
D. Working more wisely brings more benefits.
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations（高度）around smaller currents and eddies（漩涡），where much of the oceans' decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur.“Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,”said Nadya Shiffer, Swot's program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along, a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation（外推法）.Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it's giving us a map of elevations, and that's just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
12、What does the underlined expression“vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to？
A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water.
13、What is the major mission of Swot？
A. To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.
B. To explain the consequence of global warming.
C. To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.
D. To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate
14、What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A. The high-definition computer. B. Advanced radar technology.
C. The three-dimensional image. D. An accurate map of elevations.
15、Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Solution to Climate Change
B. A Breakthrough in Space Travel
C. First Global Water Survey from Space
D. The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite

六、读后续写
34、My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table.“There you go,” she said.“You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you？”It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,”I said.“Good. That's why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on.“Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on.”She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone.
“Here's your phone. It's all ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her pass code and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe（滑动屏幕）.“What do you mean, swipe?” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa.“Take it away!”she howled.“I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：续写词数应为150左右，请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.”I said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.

9、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“Researchers found people, with similar jobs and education levels, were more likely to suffer poorer well-being and inferior career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods. According to Hans Frankort, a senior lecturer in strategy at Cass Business School, the research suggests career benefits of excessive work effort-longer hours or harder work-may never materialize.(研究人员发现，工作和教育水平相似的人，在长时间高强度工作时，更有可能遭受较差的幸福感和较差的职业前景，包括满意度、安全感和晋升。卡斯商学院战略学高级讲师Hans Frankort表示，这项研究表明，过度工作所带来的职业利益——更长时间或更努力工作——可能永远不会成为现实)”可知，研究人员发现在工作和教育水平相似的前提下，长时间高强度工作的人，健康更差，职业前景(包括满意度、安全感和晋升机会)也会更差。故选D。

12、答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在句子Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource.（Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查）可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，划线短语"vital resource"指的是下文提到的"water （水）"。A.Technology科技；B.Climate气候；C.Oceans海洋；D.Water水。故选D。
13、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process.（其主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化）可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋如何影响气候变化。故选D。
14、答案：B

16、答案：①-⑤DFECA
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些小技巧能够帮助读者在寒冷的日子里保持温暖。
①根据空前“With the rising cost of living affecting all of us, staying warmer this winter feels like it’s going to be a difficult task. The government has already brought in measures to help with the cost of living.(随着生活成本的上涨影响着我们所有人，在这个冬天保持温暖似乎将是一项艰巨的任务。政府已经采取措施帮助降低生活成本。)”可知，政府已经采取了措施帮助人们降低生活成本；而下文“Read on for some small tips that could make a big difference and help you stay warmer in colder months. (下面这些小技巧可以让你在寒冷的月份里保持温暖。)”可知，作者认为政府的措施是远远不够的。选项D“However, there are still other things you can do to keep the heat in(然而，你仍然可以做一些其他的事情来保持热量)”承上启下，与上下文内容一致。故选D。
②根据空前“Rather than snuggling into one big jumper, think about wearing plenty of thin layers instead.(与其蜷缩在一件大毛衣里，不如多穿几层薄的。)”可知，作者建议读者多穿几件薄的衣服。而空后“It acts as an insulator(绝缘体)-keeping you warmer than if you just wore one thick one.(它就像一个绝缘体——让你比只穿一件厚衣服更暖和。)”则解释了为什么多穿几件薄衣服会比只穿一件厚衣服暖和的原因。选项F“Multiple thin layers allow warm air to become trapped between the layers(多件薄层衣服使得暖空气被困在层与层之间)”也是解释了多穿几件薄衣服会比只穿一件厚衣服暖和的原因，与下文内容一致。故选F。

⑤空处为小标题，为本段中心句。根据下文“Staying active is good for your health in general, but if it is too cold to walk outside, then catching up on the household chores is a great way of making sure you’re getting up and about. Even light exercise can keep you warm, so grab that vacuum cleaner or duster, get moving and make your house shine. (总的来说，保持活跃对你的健康有好处，但如果天气太冷不能出去散步，那么做点家务是确保你起床走动的好方法。即使是轻微的运动也能让你保暖，所以拿起吸尘器或抹布，动起来，让你的房子闪闪发光。)”可知，在本段中，作者建议读者做家务从而保暖。选项A “Do the housework(做家务)”正是本段主要内容。故选A。

解析：本文是新闻报道。主要介绍了向晨曦在病痛的折磨下，勇敢生活的故事。
①考查介词。句意：和其他主播一样，她用甜美温柔的声音和粉丝打招呼，但和其他人不同的是，她坐在轮椅上，喉咙里插着呼吸管。分析句子结构可知，此处表达“用甜美温柔的声音”之意，应该用介词in表“用……声音”之意。故填in。
②考查连词。句意：和其他主播一样，她用甜美温柔的声音和粉丝打招呼，但和其他人不同的是，她坐在轮椅上，喉咙里插着呼吸管。分析句子结构可知，根据前文“a sweet, gentle voice just like any other livestreamer”和后文“unlike others, Xiang is sitting in a wheelchair and has a breathing tube implanted (嵌入) in her throat.”可知，两句间是转折关系，应该用but连接。故填but。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：“你好！这就是热爱手工艺和生活的仙女晨曦，”30岁的晨曦说，她灿烂的笑容闪闪发光。非分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词say，所以shine应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是smile，两者间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词形式。故填shining。
④考查主谓一致。句意：她的身后是她制作的泥人架子。分析句子结构可知，本句是全倒装句，主语是shelves，为复数，描述的是客观状态，用一般现在时。故填are。
⑤考查动词语态。句意：她失去了行走的能力，只能坐轮椅。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：be reduced to意为“沦落为”，空后已有to，主语是she，为第三人称单数，根据lost知用一般过去时。故填was reduced。
⑥考查宾语从句连接词。句意：2016年，向决定在网上分享她如何应对挑战的故事，以鼓励那些重病患者坚持下去。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，从句中句子结构完整，应该用连接副词引导，根据句意表达“如何”之意，应该用how引导。故填how。
⑦考查状语从句连接词。句意：然而，她在直播方面刚刚取得重大进展，病情就恶化到了死亡边缘。分析句子结构可知，空处引导状语从句，根据句意表达“当……时”之意，用when引导。故填when。
⑧考查非谓语动词。句意：她甚至在录制的视频中表达了自己最后的愿望，即捐赠自己的遗体。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词expressed，所以donate用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处是表目的，应该用不定式形式。故填to donate。
⑨考查形容词。句意：这名勇敢的女子在接受了两周的治疗后奇迹般地活了下来，但她的余生必须靠呼吸机支撑。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，courage的形容词形式是courageous。故填courageous。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及她会给其他陷入困境的人什么建议时，向女士说:“不管生活有多艰难，我们都必须保持强大的意志力。”分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词said，所以ask用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是Xiang，两者间是被动关系，应该用过去分词表被动，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Asked。

34、答案：
例文1
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.”I said.“No”Eileen insisted,“I just want my old phone back!”heading to retrieve her repaired device. Gathering my patience, I stepped forward, hugged my Gran and gently explained that the old phone, just like an antique, was incapable of providing internet access or sending emails.“Please let go off the old one, and embrace the brand-new world.”I encouraged. Empowered by my words, she mustered the courage to give it one more shot. Smoothly and magically through the fingerprint recognition, this time, she swiped with the right amount of pressure and located the email app on the menu.
Paragraph 2
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. More surprisingly, a newly received e-mail blew me away, it reading “Please let go off the old job, just embrace another new opportunity.”The knowing chuckle from my wise grandmother confirmed what I already knew deep down. The familiar yet powerful words lifted the weight from my shoulders, motivating me to seek out a better career. How wise and strong my Gran was! The words kept echoing in my mind ever since. Even now, I am constantly reminded of the transformative experience, where I got the lesson---Out with the old, in with the new!
例文2
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eilleen. One more thy.”I said.“You have been making progress, and I have distilled some skills from the former experience.”I added, in a bid to steady her anger. And acclaim seemed always to stimulate people to further efforts. Although still frowning, grandma wasn't resistant to trying that. This time, I held her finger, with them poised above the screen, and began to swipe. Occur as some glitches did, gradually, she achieved mastery---thrilled to send selfies to her friends and even comment with videos on Tik Tok.“Thank you so much my dear. You have done a superb job”, she praised me, alight with gratitude and ecstasy.
Paragraph 2
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Her little higher pitch and rapture bolstered me. With I examining what had happened, it struck me that if we were in a bind, a show of temper availed us nothing. Do not abandon yourself to despair and effort is the best antidote to sorrow. If the 92-year-old Eileen could overcome the hurdles and embrace a new digital era, certainly. so could I. No matter how bad things are, we should always nourish a hope in our mind. And the legendary woman fueled my dream--taking a deep breath of clean, crisp air, I believed there must be a more suitable job awaiting.
