A
Best Books for Teens
The Lovely Bones Alice Sebold
Some may know this story from the 2009 feature film adaptation starring Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci and Susan Sarandon, but The Lovely Bones was first published as a novel seven years earlier. Despite its dark content and hard-hitting (直言不讳的) introduction, it’s a deeply moving story about love, death and acceptance. When 14-year-old Susie Salmon is cruelly attacked and killed by her neighbour, she becomes a ghost and watches over her family, friends and even strangers trying to make peace with her untimely death.
Noughts & Crosses Malorie Blackman
It’s hard to believe that Malorie Blackman’s famous book is nearly twenty years old. Noughts &Crosses has had a theatre run and aired on the BBC last year. Set in a society in which Crosses (black people) rule over Noughts (white people), things take a Romeo and Juliet turn when Nought, Callum and Cross, Sephy fall in love.
Girls in Love Jacqueline Wilson
This story follows Ellie, and her best friends Magda and Nadine, three teenage girls trying to find their way through the world, from friendships and family to school and romantic relationships. An honest look at the ups and downs of being a teenager, Girls in Love openly discusses loss, love and everything in between. The beauty of this story lies in the strong sisterhood of these three unique characters. Their adventures continue in Girls under Pressure, Girls out Late and Girls in Tears.
The Colour Purple Alice Walker
Set in the Southern United States of the 1930s, the story follows Celie, a 14-year-old black girl living in poverty (贫困), separated from her sister and suffering abuse at the hands of her father. But when the jazz singer Shug Avery comes to stay, Celie discovers friendship, love, faith and more importantly, strength.
21．When did The Lovely Bones come out as a novel?

Last year, more than 130 million tons of single-use plastics were thrown away. Now, a new report finds that just 20 companies produced more than half of all single-use plastic waste worldwide.
The report, published Tuesday by Australia’s Mindoro Foundation, offers one of the fullest accounting of the companies behind the production of single-use plastics that researchers believe could account for as much as 10% of global greenhouse emissions by 2050. The study has further identified 20 companies as the source of 55% of the world’s single-use plastic waste in 2020, while the top 100 companies account for more than 90%.
The report also has studied the money invested (投资) in the production of single-use plastics. It finds that 20 biggest investors hold shares worth close to $ 300 billion in the single-use plastic producers. The top three investors are US-based Vanguard Group, Black Rock and Capital Group, which according to the report have an estimated $ 6 billion invested in the production of single-use plastics.
Since most plastic is made from oil and gas, the production and consumption of plastic is becoming a significant driver of the climate crisis. The report warns that in the next five years, the global capacity to produce the materials needed for single-use plastics could grow by more than 30%. And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.
Solving the issue will require serious changes from producers, investors and banks, the authors write. The report says that producers of polymers—known as the building blocks of plastics—should begin disclosing their single-use plastic waste “footprint”, while banks and investors should entirely stop their financing, in stages, that goes toward the production of single-use plastics. In addition, search for more environment-friendly materials should be encouraged.
24．How much single-use plastic waste was produced by the top 20 companies in 2020?
A．About 13 million tons. B．About 65 million tons.
C．About 71.5 million tons. D．About 117 million tons.
25．Where are the top three investors from?
A．China. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．The US.
26．What does the fourth paragraph focus on?
A．The causes of the global warming.
B．The potential harmful effects of plastic.
C．The materials used to produce plastic.
D．The fast growth of the plastic waste.
27．Which measure is mentioned to reduce the plastic waste?
A．Plastic producers should pay for the waste.
B．Plastic waste can be exported to poor countries.
C．The production of single-use plastics should be stopped now.
D．More efforts are needed to replace plastics with other materials.

Scientists have discovered a bit of hand-made string (线绳) that’s around 50,000 years old in Neanderthal remains. The first Neanderthal remains were found in the Neander Valley in Germany, which is where the name comes from. Neanderthals may have lived mainly in caves and made stone tools, but recent discoveries have given hints that Neanderthals developed some advanced skills that people used to think impossible. For example, Neanderthals knew how to make glue from the bark (树皮) of a tree.
Now, scientists report they’ve found a piece of string on a stone tool made by Neanderthals. Before this, the oldest known piece of string was one made by humans about 19,000 years ago. The string is about a quarter of an inch long. Almost all things made from plants during that time have broken down and disappeared, so it’s very special to find this bit of string.
The scientists don’t know whether the string was attached to the tool. But that doesn’t interest them as much as the fact that Neanderthals knew how to make string. Bruce Hardy, the lead scientist on the project, says that knowing how to make string was meaningful for humans. “We wouldn’t really be here today without that technology,” he says.
Making string is a very arduous process. This string was made from the inside bark of an evergreen tree. To make string that is strong enough, the string must be made of several smaller fibers twisted (缠绕) together in a special way. For the Neanderthal string, several fibers needed to be twisted together into something like yarn. Then three pieces of yam needed to be twisted together in the opposite direction to make the final string.
The scientists Aren’t sure what the string was used for, but they say that string like. the bit that was found could be used to make bags, baskets, traps, or other things. The researchers also suggest that because Neanderthals needed to make pairs and count fibers to make the string, the bit of string may also tell us something about the kinds of math that Neanderthals could do.
28．What can we know about Neanderthals?
A．They were named after a nation.
B．They didn’t know how to make tools.
C．They were not as smart as scientists thought.
D．They may master more skills than people realized.
29．What is special about the string?
A．It is surprisingly long.
B．It was made from wood.
C．It survives a long history.
D．It was attached to a stone tool.
30．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Neanderthals strengthened stone tools with the string.
B．The scientists think the string is part of the stone tool.
C．The string-making skill is of great importance to humans.
D．Neanderthals had great difficulty in inventing the string.
31．What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Difficult. B．Normal.
C．Creative. D．Boring.

Your mobile phone vibrates in your pocket. ‘Need to see you,’ reads the screen. Nothing new, considering that texting is currently the most common form of long-distance communication. But how were messages conveyed in the past?
One of the first methods was the smoke signal. This practice was used by Chinese soldiers guarding the Great Wall to warn of the enemy’s approach. The Greeks invented a whole alphabet of smoke signals for sending messages. But it was Native Americans who made the system mobile by carrying small bunches of dried grasses around with them. These could be lit quickly from any place at any time.
Moving on to messages transmitted by sound, an early technique was the drum. Drums are still used today in the rainforests of Africa, Papua New Guinea and Central and South America for broadcasting news. The instrument is made from a piece of wood, which is empty inside, and this is hit with a stick. On receiving the message, each village passes it on to the next, which means that news can travel at up to 150 km an hour.
In some parts of the world, humans are able to convey messages over long distances without using instruments. On La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, people use Silbo, or the ‘whistling language’ to communicate across the valleys. The language involves the use of the tongue, lips and hands to make sounds, which can travel up to 5 km. To ensure its continuation, Silbo is currently a compulsory subject in primary and secondary schools on the island.
A look at long-distance communication would not be complete without mentioning the art of yodelling. This is a form of singing, in which the voice changes sound levels very quickly, making it easily heard over long distances. It is believed that the technique was developed in the Swiss Alps, but it is also found in other places such as Central Africa. At one time, yodelling was popular in theatres and music halls, but this is no longer so.
32．What was most remarkable about the Greeks’ system of smoke signals?
A．It could communicate words.
B．It could be used instantly.
C．It could mislead the enemy.
D．It could stop wars from breaking out.
33．What is the advantage of communicating by drums?
A．The length of the message.
B．The simplicity of the instrument.
C．The speed of the transmission.
D．The volume of the sound.
34．What would be an accurate definition of ‘yodelling’?
A．Moving frequently between high and low notes.
B．Singing a recognizable tune in harmony.
C．Using music with a really strong beat.
D．Shouting in a loud voice.
35．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Is That Strange?
B．Get the Message?
C．The Old Technology
D．The History of Information

Rain is pouring down today, which brings back sweet memories of our dog, Bambi. She-joined our family at the age of four months. Like all puppies, she was full of energy and wonder. Our boys described excitedly that she looked just like the young deer, Bambi, in the movie they had watched recently. The name fitted her personality perfectly.
Bambi also had all the fine physical characteristics of the German Shepherd. She was strong, yet gentle and shy. We were a young family with two growing, energetic boys, so she fitted right in with our lifestyle. Bambi loved the boys. She would play with them until they were completely tired.
When Bambi was almost two years old, a full-grown dog, she became quite protective of us. She never failed to watch the boys. If any stranger entered our yard, she’d watch him or her with sharp eyes and let out a low bark. Even though Bambi had this protective instinct (本能), she never hurt anyone. Nevertheless, she did manage to frighten (惊吓) away many welcome and unwelcome guests.
On one occasion, I had called a repairman to come to our home to fix the refrigerator. I was at work, and the boys were home with the babysitter. I told the repairman by phone that we had a dog, but it would be safe to enter the house because the babysitter would be there to meet him. However, when the repairman arrived, the babysitter and boys went outside. As he went close to our front door, Bambi was outside and she barked at him while she guarded the door. As long as the man attempted to move, Bambi would jump up and bark more fiercely (凶猛地). This man had never seen such a fierce dog before and was frightened too much. He had no idea whether to go away or scream for help.
Paragraph 1:
Luckily, the babysitter and boys returned from their walk at that lime.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Though Bambi was so brave, there, was a side to her personality that didn’t match her.

M: Minerva Public Library staff look forward to seeing students again this fall, and are happy to help them find library materials for schoolwork or for their own enjoyment. However, during COVID-19, there are new library rules to help ensure the safety of library staff, adult readers, and students. All students are required to wear masks while in the library, and food and drinks are not permitted. Seating is very limited and, in order to maintain social distancing, students are not allowed to sit on the floor in public areas of the building. Library occupancy is limited and, once that limit is reached, additional readers can’t come into the building. Because of these limitations, the library can’t be an after-school student hangout or a waiting room for rides, and parents should make other arrangements for their children. The library appreciates the cooperation of parents, caregivers, and students in following these rules to keep the library a safe and welcoming place for all readers.

21．细节理解题。根据首段首句“Some may know this story from the 2009 feature film adaptation starring Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci and Susan Sarandon, but The Lovely Bones was first published as a novel seven years earlier.

And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.(由于大多数塑料是由石油和天然气制成的，塑料的生产和消费正成为气候危机的重要驱动因素。报告警告说，在未来五年，全球生产一次性塑料所需材料的生产能力可能会增长30%以上。报告称，由此产生的一次性塑料废物中的大部分将在塑料废物管理系统较差的发展中国家最终成为污染)”可知，该段重在分析一次性塑料垃圾可能对气候变化产生的影响及对环境可能带来的危害。故选B。

31．词句猜测题。划线词句后文“To make string that is strong enough, the string must be made of several smaller fibers twisted (缠绕) together in a special way. For the Neanderthal string, several fibers needed to be twisted together into something like yarn. Then three pieces of yam needed to be twisted together in the opposite direction to make the final string. (为了使线绳足够结实，线绳必须由几根更小的纤维以一种特殊的方式缠绕在一起。对于尼安德特人的线绳来说，需要将几根纤维绞在一起，形成类似纱线的东西。然后，三条山药藤需要以相反的方向拧在一起，形成最后一根绳子。)”说明对于尼安德特人说，制作线绳非常不易，从而推知划线词句“Making string is a very arduous process. (制作绳子是一个非常arduous过程。)”其中划线词汇意思是“困难的”。故选A项。

34．词义猜测题。下文This is a form of singing, in which the voice changes sound levels very quickly, making it easily heard over long distances.的意思是这是一种歌唱形式，声音变化很快，很容易在很远的地方听到。由此推断出A look at long-distance communication would not be complete without mentioning the art of yodelling.的意思是如果不提及yodelling的艺术，那么对远距离交流的研究就不完整。Yodelling的意思是经常在高音和低音之间移动，故选A。
35．主旨大意题。第一段But how were messages conveyed in the past?是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了在过去，人们是如何传达消息的。所以这篇文章最好的题目是“如何获得消息”，故选B。

66．My favorite corner in the school
Our school has a lot of corners where students like to hang out, such as the playground, computer rooms and the art room. My favorite corner is the library.
In the library, people know how to restrict themselves and behave more politely, and it is a good place for students to read plenty of novels and study their own subjects. I am used to staying in the library after school, because I enjoy its quiet atmosphere and it’s helpful when I do my homework. It is also a good place to meet some friends who have something in common with me, and we can share experience in different subjects.
67．Paragraph 1：
Luckily, the babysitter and boys returned from their walk at that time. They rescued the poor frightened repairman from our guard dog. They told Bambi that it was okay to allow the man to enter our home. But Bambi seemed still couldn’t trust this stranger. While the repairman was busy in the kitchen, she kept a watchful eye on him, which made the man very nervous. When he finished his work, he was very glad to go back. This story is always mentioned whenever we talk about Bambi.
Paragraph 2:
Though Bambi was so brave, there was a side to her personality that didn’t match her. She was  terrified of thunder and lightning. On any summer day when the sun disappeared behind the clouds, Bambi would race to the door and demand to stay inside. She seemed to have the ability to feel the coming of rain. Usually, she was correct because rain, thunder and lightning would soon follow. Though Bambi was no longer with us, our wonderful memories of her remain to brighten rainy days.
