We take a look at the most exciting new science-fiction books of 2021. No matter what kind of science fiction fan you are, we’re sure you’ll find something to add to your reading list.
The Saints of Salvation
By Peter F. Hamilton
The Olyix have laid siege (围攻) to Earth, harvesting people for their god. Cities are ru- ined by their weapons and millions have either fled to seek refuge in space or are fighting a war that seems unwinnable.

Hamilton’s extremely surprising series The Salvation Sequence.
A Desolation Called Peace

Jack Four
By Neal Asher
Jack Four —one of twenty human clones —has been created to be sold. His purchasers are the aliens and they only want him for their experimentation program. But there is something different about Jack. No clone should possess the knowledge that’s been loaded into his mind.

Everyone knows that the deeper you get, the more deadly the game becomes—and the body count is rising. Since the game first started, ten rounds have taken place.

Jamin Crow waited silently for the bull moose (麋鹿) to turn and face him. In the cold, the teen stood with his gun resting on a branch. He waited and waited. Then the moose turned, and his brother started to yell, “Shoot!” If Crow didn’t shoot, his brother would. So Crow took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. “I look at my brother and he’s giving me the happiest look I’ve ever seen,” he says.
Crow lives in Bethel, in the remote region of Alaska. For generations, his family has practiced subsistence (生存) hunting to get food on the table. The process hasn’t changed much. The Crows use motor boats and snowmobiles to get to their moose camp, which serves as a home base while they’re on hunting trips. “Food is very expensive here. You have to ship everything up,” Crow says. “We don’t go out just for the antlers (鹿角). We’re not looking for prize; we’re not hunting for something big. We’re looking for meat to feed our families.”
Crow is one of three Alaska Native students—along with Kaylee King and Ethan Lincoln—who recorded their hunting tradition before they graduated last spring. Their record was chosen as a finalist in this year’s NPR Student Record Challenge. The three students say hunting helped them get through the isolation of the pandemic, when their schools and many other activities like sports were shut down because of COVID- 19. The students explain that, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people are practicing hunting.
“It makes me really sad because the way we used to do things is so different from how we do them now,” Crow says. “Even our language is slowly fading away.” For the students, the practice of hunting allows them to connect with older generations. “Whenever I go out hunting with my granny, I’m always hearing past stories about when my dad was a kid and he went hunting or my late grandpa how he would just take the family up,” Crow says.
24. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To reach a conclusion.
B. To summarize the essay.
C. To provide background information.
D. To introduce the major character in the essay.
25. What can be inferred from the hunting tradition?
A. It is popular with the youth.
B. It is hard to give up the tradition.
C. It is tough to keep this tradition alive.
D. It is vital to share the tradition with friends.
26. Which word can best describe Crow?
A. Sympathetic. B. Tolerant. C. Conservative. D. Ambitious
27. What is the best title of the text?
A. Hunting in the wild is banned
B. Students do hunting for fun
C. Schools were shut down
D. Students went traditional hunting
C
In the struggle to survive the ever hotter deserts of California, there are winners and losers. Among the losers are desert birds, whose populations have fallen among the heat stress of climate change. The winners, it turns out, are small burrowing mammals (穴居哺乳动物), which take refuge from the sun underground. Researchers noted that the stable mammals populations formed a striking contrast to the extremely bad condition of birds.
But why? Birds had a higher evaporative (蒸发) heat loss, Birds were more exposed to the effects of warming, so they had higher energy costs to maintain their body temperature. However, mammals were able to reduce their body temperature by using burrows during the day.
Temperatures have risen about 4 degrees Fahrenheit on average across the area studied, but the heat affects birds and small mammals differently. As part of the study, scientists modeled each species’ body temperature and cooling needs under different desert conditions. To calculate that, they measured the conductivity (传导率) of the animals’ fur or feathers, and used information on their heat reducing behaviors.
The models showed that in the fight against climate change, there was not a level playing field for furred and feathered desert animals. Cooling costs—or the resources needed to maintain stable body temperature—were about 3.3 times higher for birds than they were for small mammals, the study reported.
Small mammals have shown this remarkable stability. It’s really quite interesting that, in the same region, with the same level of climate change, these two species have responded very differently to the changes taking place. Insights into the status of different species can help scientists take steps to protect them, such as increasing fire prevention in high desert areas, and enhancing water sources in those areas. The study also demonstrates that climate change is already reshaping the California desert.
28. Why can desert burrowing mammals survive better than desert birds?
A. Burrowing mammals prefer to live in deserts.
B. Burrowing mammals eat less during the day.
C. Burrowing mammals’ caves are natural shelters.
D. Burrowing mammals live in the same community.
29. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. Birds and small mammals respond differently to climate changes.
B. Birds in the desert were defeated by climate changes.
C. Animals living underground have higher cooling costs.
D. Temperature rise affects the burrowing mammals little.
30. What is the possible meaning of the new finding?
A. Burrowing mammals may help birds during the day.
B. Governments will improve water quality.
C. Man will reshape the deserts to save themselves.
D. Scientists can save species with scientific means.
31. What do we know from the text?
A. It’s time to change the deserts into green fields.
B. Desert birds are more likely to survive in deserts.
C. Burrowing mammals’ habitat needs improving greatly.
D. Burrowing mammals survive climate change underground.
D
Database maintenance (数据库维护) is an activity designed to keep a database running smoothly. A number of different systems can be used to build and maintain databases. Data- bases are used to maintain a library of information in a well-organized, accessible format (格式). They usually are not static (静态的), because changes are constantly being made as material is added, removed, and moved around. Over time, this can cause the database to start to go wrong. Database maintenance is used to keep the database clean and well-organized so that it will not lose functionality.
One important aspect of maintaining a database is simply backing up the data so that, if anything happens, there will be another copy available. Some database systems actually do this automatically and then send the backup to another location every day, every week, or within any other set period of time. Backups are usually not enough, however.
Database maintenance includes checking for signs of corruption in the database, looking for problem areas, and checking for any detail in the database that might signal a problem. The goal is to keep the database operating smoothly for users, so that ideally they never need to think about maintenance issues. A database that is not maintained can become slow, and people may start to experience problems when trying to access records.
The maintenance of databases is generally performed by people who are comfortable and familiar with the database system and the details of the particular database, although some maintenance tasks can be performed by people who do not have experience. Numerous text- books are available with information about database management, including how to maintain databases properly. It is also possible to take courses to learn about different database systems and how to care for databases. People can also earn certifications in specific systems which indicate a high level of competence.
32. What can we know about databases?
A. They are always well organized. B. They are often changeable.
C. They mainly serve the library. D. They can organize news.
33. What does the underlined part “do this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Maintain a database. B. Send a backup.
C. Correct mistakes. D. Back up data.
34. What is the aim of database maintenance?
A. To look for signs of breaking down.
B. To check for any detail.
C. To make database run smoothly.
D. To ensure the safety of users.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. What database maintenance is.
B. How people keep database operating smoothly.
C. How people finish maintenance tasks well.
D. Why database maintenance is important.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The biggest misconception that I’ve ever heard of is that in order for us to find success in anything, we must be willing to give up something else. 36
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that isn’t true. As I grow, I find several things are truly stopping us from living a more fulfilling life. Below are some.
Place limitations on yourself
On the surface, limitations are the things that stop you from achieving something. 37 . You’ll keep facing the same problems, forced to make the same choices, and perform the same actions repeatedly. They define your current circumstances and to that extent define your quality of life.
Lack self control
We all have some aspect about ourselves that we don’t like. 38 . Maybe you have a large sweet tooth and can’t help yourself from eating sweet things. When you have a lack of self control, those habits are going to remain with you until you find some way to remove them.
39
Our ability to come up with creative solutions for our problems comes from our ability to learn and adapt. If you’re not learning anything, you’re not progressing. Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Learning never exhausts the mind.” And I believe it.
Final thoughts
When you get stuck on something, you are never truly stuck. 40 . You don’t have to be working hard to overcome that barrier, rather change your thinking in how you’re approaching the problem. Give it time and keep working at it.
A. Lack self confidence
B. Lack learning and adaptability
C. We shouldn’t bottle up our own weaknesses
D. Maybe you’re someone who drinks a lot of alcohol or smokes
E. It means that what you are currently doing isn’t enough to get you over the barrier
F. Whether it’s career or health, one must be sacrificed in order for the other to succeed
G. However, limitations are also the things that keep you restricted in the same life cycle

From my earliest childhood memories, my mother was my entire world. Each Sunday morning, I would be 41 by sweet smells around the house. Watching my mother 42 food was attractive. She was totally 43 so I never asked questions, and her behaviour informed me that this wasn’t a good time to 44 . My sisters and I would be seated at the 45 and wait to get a taste of the cake.
The family meals kept us 46 together and gave us an opportunity to connect with each other. No subject was 47 as we ate. My father was an extraordinary storyteller and liked talking almost everything with us! 48 , we possessed a gift of speech, like him.
My mother’s life revolved around cooking for her 49 . She took it very 50 , no time for errors. There were no ruined meals or smoke clouding the 51 . I would always purposely observe her while she cooked. She was a 52 mother. She knew the economy of words, so when she gave chore 53 , we listened intently, to carry out the assigned task with success.
Looking back, my mom was the best version of herself. She exhibited excellent 54 skills! Her dedication to cooking set me a good example.
And my mother’s focus on food excellence taught me a valuable lesson: Whatever your goals in life, perform them to the best of your abilities. Her 55 has allowed me to approach everything I do with dedication.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chinese food and the differences between Chinese and Western diets are both things that cause the 56 (curious) of most people who visit China. Moreover, when 57 (travel) through China, you’ll most likely pick up on a few differences in the way of eating food. For example, soup in the West 58 (enjoy) generally as an appetizer (开胃菜) at the start of a meal, while the Chinese prefer to enjoy their soup at the end of a meal.
You might also notice some distinct differences in meal preparation and cooking techniques. Therefore, cooking classes are becoming an 59 (increasing) popular activity among those interested in learning more about China’s culture through its cuisine. If you’re looking to take it a step 60 (far), keep an eye out for cooking classes 61 (hold) by residents in their own homes.
62 it comes to traditional Chinese games, the Chinese have always been sociable people. Despite the country’s super technological advancement and the increasing popularity of personal electronic devices, the majority of Chinese would rather spend time socializing with others than sit alone at home. From popular board games like Go (围棋) and Chinese chess to kids’ games like Chinese jump rope, China offers 63 (vary) options to keep people busy. Most locals are more than happy to share their traditions 64 foreign visitors, so don’t be shy to ask the next time you go for 65 walk through the park!

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。
Allan, my husband, had recently moved up the tennis league’s ladder (晋级赛) and would compete against someone at a similar skill level. “Do you know who your opponent is?” I asked him. My husband explained that although he knew his opponent’s name, he had never met him. That’s when I saw a young man—about twenty years old—at the other end of the reception area.
The young man had large muscular arms and a well-built body. He was using a skip rope at quite a fast pace; I thought he might be warming up for a tennis match. I smiled at my husband and said that might be his opponent. Allan gave me a frustrated (沮丧的) look on his face, remarking it was an unusual way to prepare for a tennis match, as he continued completing his usual warm-up routine.
The league coordinator (统筹者) called out my husband’s name, and then she called the young man. I gave my husband a kind of smile that wives give their husbands when they are encouraging them. The coordinator gave them their court number. They introduced themselves to each other, shook hands, and headed off.
The young man was dressed in the latest trendy tennis clothes and looked great. With his muscular body, he could have easily be a star athlete. Allan was at least thirty years older, much less muscular, and dressed in an ordinary tennis shirt and untrendy tennis shorts. Allan’s focus had always been on good tennis shoes, socks, and, of course, the tennis racket.
When they walked onto their court, the pre-game warm-up began. The young man played with confidence. It was almost as if he was showing his ability. Allan closely observed his various strokes and powerful serves, while casually returning each shot. Then began the game.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The young man quickly won the first round.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The young man was visibly frustrated by the end of the match.

第二节：
参考范文：
The young man quickly won the first round. He was full of confidence at the start of the second round, especially when he won the first point. I watched with amusement as they volleyed the ball back and forth, knowing well that Allan’s mental toughness would win even after his slow start. Within minutes, Allan won the second round. The game continued, but the young man began to struggle and show his frustration. The final score was in Allan’s favor.
The young man was visibly frustrated by the end of the match. He was clearly shocked, having lost to his much older opponent. Allan shook hands with his opponent as they left the court. They were talking to each other along the way. I heard Allan say, “It’s only a game—there will be others.” Knowing that Allan had been playing tennis for over forty years, the young man regretted that he shouldn’t have underestimated the ability of his opponent. He thanked Allan for the lesson and left.
