A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty

The setting: Urban England(the cities), but also rural England(the countryside) including remote English villages.

The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”

The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery, The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.”

21. What is the main theme of the novel?

A. Life with foster parents.      B. Life in the world of diving.

C. A journey of self-discovery.     D. A travel around the country.

22. What do the coach’s words in Paragraph 2 suggest?

A. James is a successful diver.     B. James is an independent young man.

C. James is an outgoing young man.    D. James is a hopeful swimmer.

23. The snake stone in the novel is        .

C. a gift from the swimming coach    D. a clue left by the birth mother

B

The great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200,00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.

But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”

Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”

The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.

24. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?

A. Because English was useless.

B. Because she was too young to learn English.

C. Because English was forbidden to learn.

D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.

25. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A. Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.

B. Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.

C. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only English teacher.

D. Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.

26. What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. English is not the first language in Japan.

B. The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.

C. Younger generations in Japan welcome English.

D. Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.

27. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Where there is a will, there is a way.    B. It is never too late to learn.

C. The early bird catches the worm.     D. Two heads are better than one.

C

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?

Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.

Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.

Be there for them—Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!

Make plans—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!

28. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should        .

A. give him or her some advice    B. calm him or her down

C. just listen unless asked     D. share your feelings as well

29. When we provide help for our friends, we should         .

A. put them before ourselves    B. try to do everything for them

C. change their bad habits first    D. ignore their faults

30. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?

A. Life without a friend is death.   B. A friend is easier lost than found.

C. A man is known by his friends.   D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

31. What is probably the best title for the test?

A. How to find a good friend.    B. How to be a good friend.

C. How to help friends in trouble.   D. How to make more friends.

D

Earlier this year a series of papers in The Lancet reported that 85 percent of the $265 billion spent each year on medical research is wasted because too often absolutely nothing happens after initial results of a study are published. No follow-up investigations to replicate(复制) or expand on a discovery. No one uses the findings to build new technologies.

The problem is not just what happens after publication—scientists often have trouble choosing the right questions and properly designing studies to answer them. Too many studies test too few subjects to arrive at firm conclusions. Researchers publish reports on hundreds of treatments for diseases that work in animal models but not in humans. Drug companies find themselves unable to reproduce promising drug targets published by the best academic institutions. The growing recognition that something has gone wrong in the laboratory has led to calls for, as one might guess, more research on research—attempts to find rules to ensure that peer-reviewed studies are, in fact, valid.

It will take a concerted effort by scientists and other stakeholders to fix this problem. We can do so by exploring ways to make scientific investigation more reliable and efficient. These may include collaborative team science, study registration, stronger study designs and statistical tools, and better peer review, along with making scientific data widely available so that others can replicate experiments, therefore building trust in the conclusions of those studies.

Reproducing other scientists’ analyses or replicating their results has too often in the past been looked down on with a kind of “me-too” derision(嘲笑) that would waste resources—but often they may help avoid false leads that would have been even more wasteful. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to replication is the inaccessibility of data and results necessary to rerun the analyses that went into the original experiments. Searching for such information can be extremely difficult. Investigators die, move and change jobs; computers crash; online links malfunction. Data are sometimes lost—even, as one researcher claimed when confronted about spurious(伪造的) results, eaten by termites(白蚁).

There has definitely been some recent progress. An increasing number of journals, including Nature and Science, have adopted measures such as checklists for study design and reporting while improving statistical review and encouraging access to data. Several funding agencies, meanwhile, have asked that researchers outline their plans for sharing data before they can receive a government grant.

But it will take much more to achieve a lasting culture change. Investigators should be rewarded for performing good science rather than just getting statistically significant (“positive”) but nonreplicable results. Revising the present incentive(激励) structure may require changes on the part of journals, funders, universities and other research institutions.

32. What is the problem reported in those papers in The Lancet?

A. Great achievements in medical research failed to get published.

B. Money was wasted on follow-up investigations in medical research.

C. Too many new research findings are not put into use after publication.

D. Few scientists are devoted to building new technologies for mankind.

33. Which of the following situation is most similar to the problem described in paragraph 2?

A. A high school decides to cut its art programs due to the lack of fund.

B. A patient gets sicker because he does not follow the doctor’s advice.

C. A marketing firm tests a website with participants that are not target population.

D. A drug company fails to produce the new drug due to no access to the latest data.

34. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Measures are taken to ensure publication of tested results only.

B. Scientific experiments must be replicable to be considered valid.

C. Experiment replication is unoriginal and not worthwhile.

D. Rewards should be given only to those nonreplicable findings.

35. The purpose of this article is to ___________.

A. argue that scientific research lacks efficiency

B. explain the result of a recent scientific study

C. introduce some recent progress in medical research

D. highlight the possible problems of research studies

Our world is more connected than ever before thanks to technology.   36   Indeed, it is becoming increasingly important that we all learn how to deal with this painful feeling.

You should be determined to actively end your loneliness. We often end up passively waiting for someone else to make us feel less lonely. You may feel that your loneliness indicates that nobody is willing to connect with you. And there is nothing you can do about it. But that is far from the truth.   37   

You should find reasons why you are lonely. We all feel lonely for different reasons. Some of us have no one to interact with on a consistent basis and that’s why we feel lonely. You may feel that the people in your life don’t share your thoughts and ideas.    38  , you need to identify it. And you know exactly how to handle your loneliness.

  39   People who are lonely tend to fall into destructive mental habits. They try to avoid the pain of not being understood and being disconnected by not giving people an opportunity to understand and connect with them. So the solution is to share your thoughts and feelings with others and to do so openly and fearlessly.

You should find people who share your interests.   40  , everybody is interested in something. And just as there are many interests, there are many people who share those interests. Find what interests you and connect with others on that basis.

A. Whatever the reason is

B. When you feel really lonely

C. If you want to make friends with them

D. Whether it’s coin collecting or video games

E. You should be open about your thoughts, ideas and desires.

F. Ending loneliness is something that you can and should pursue actively.

G. However, more and more of us find ourselves having to stand loneliness.
