During the time of lockdown, a great way to kill time is to read. If you don’t want to buy books, I personally use Libby (or overdrive. com) to connect to my public library’s entire ebook and audiobook database. Here is my take on a well-rounded, diverse, and boredom-curing reading list:

SALT TO THE SEA by Ruta Sepytys

This is a young-adult historical fiction about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945. The story is from the point of view of four refugees (难民) from different countries, all keeping life-threatening secrets and struggling to escape to freedom.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE by Agatha Christie

One of the best murder mysteries of all time. 10 strangers are invited to a remote island by a secret person and are murdered one-by-one mirroring a nursery rhyme. You absolutely won’t guess who the killer is.

EDUCATED by Tara Westover

Completely isolated from society, Westover spent her young life living in a remote mountainous area where no one would ensure the children to receive an education. But Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her and ultimately she was accepted to Harvard and Cambridge University. Her story of fulfilling transformation of life is inspiring and may be exactly what you’re looking for.

THE DIVINERS by Libba Bray

This is a young-adult fantasy that follows a group of teens with powers in 1920s New York City. When Evie stays with her uncle, a string of murders occur. We follow each character as they find their powers and find out who’s killing people. The book’s a little long, but the twists, the 1920s slang, and the diverse and layered characters make it worthwhile.

1. What is the advantage of Libby according to the author?

A. It provides information on boredom.

B. It recommends ways to search online.

C. It helps to get access to the public library.

D. It shares some writers’ personal book lists.

2. What is the book EDUCATED about?

C. A young-adult fantasy. D. A life-threatening secret story.

3. Which books will attract the readers who are into stories of murder?

B. SALT TO THE SEA & THE DIVINERS.

C. AND THEN THERE WERE NONE & EDUCATED.

D. AND THEN THERE WERE NONE & THE DIVINERS.

In Rochester, if you are a coffee lover, you must have heard of Java Joe’s Cafe. For the local students, the Java Joe’s on Gibbs Street has become a place of solace during stressful testing times, and on more heartwarming occasions, a social center.

Slowly approaching its thirties, Java Joe’s has enjoyed a good reputation in its local. In 1978, Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii. With great dedication to his craft, the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then. In 1992, Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs Street with the help of Michael Calabrese. So this store was originally named as the Gibbs Cafe. This location, next to the Eastman School of Music, is the first of many shops Java Joe opened. As a lover of the blues, Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.

After Gibbs’ location, Joe planted another one where he was first starting out — in the Public Market. Later, it moved to a nearby building and received a name change — Java’s at the Market Coffee Roasters. This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care. However, in 1997 he licensed “the Gibbs Cafe” to Calabrese, who then renamed it to what we know today — Java Joe’s Cafe.

Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Joe died of lung cancer at 68. The influence he had poured into his business is well-known and highly regarded. He has won many awards in his life.

The next time you head down to Gibbs Street for your morning cup, keep in mind the extraordinary story of how that cup came to be, all thanks to Java Joe.

4. What does the underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Tension. B. Relief.

C. Anxiety. D. Safety.

5. What is true about Java Joe’s Cafe on Gibbs Street?

A. It is the flagship store and has won an award.

B. Java Joe had the ownership of the shop in 1997.

C. The name of the shop keeps unchanged up to now.

D. It was popular with the locals and students as well.

6. What is special about Java’s at the Market Coffee Roasters?

A. Joe’s specially-made coffee beans.

B. Its super-quality coffee and service.

C. Joe’s display of coffee-making skills.

D. Its attraction to the music school students.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. The popularity of Java Joe’s Cafe.

B. The development of the coffee industry.

C. The contribution Joe made to Rochester.

D. The founder and development of Java Joe’s Cafe.

The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.

Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.

The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society? Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations? Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.

I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.

8. What’s people’s common belief about plastic recycling?

A. Almost all plastic waste can be reused. B. The methods are quite limited.

C. Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable. D. The amount is unbelievably large.

9. What can be learned from paragraph 3?

A. Plastic waste is on the decline globally.

B. Recycling plastics doesn’t make money now.

C. Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.

D. New applications of plastics haven’t been found.

10. Why can plastics make good building materials?

A. They can resist water and won’t last long.

B. They can be reproduced in large quantity.

C. They satisfy the needs of low-income people.

D. They meet most demands of building materials.

11. What’s the author’s attitude to plastic recycling?

A. Positive. B. Anxious.

C. Doubtful. D. Critical.

Danish architecture studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has designed Terminus AI City Operating System as a campus (园区) in Chongqing, China. BIG has drawn up the plans for the company Teminus Group, which will have its headquarters at the centre of the AI-run city campus. Everything in the city campus will be operated by the artificial intelligence system.

The development will be located in Chongqing Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone and will include Cloud Valley, the campus-style headquarters of Terminus Group. “Over the recent years, we have worked with several of the world’s leading technology companies. We are thrilled to bring our experience to Chongqing,” said Bjarke Ingels, the founder of BIG. “Cloud Valley is considered as a city where people, technology and nature live together in harmony, with spaces designed for all types of life: human life, plant life, animal life and even artificial life.”

BIG’s design for Cloud Valley is intended to demonstrate the environmental goals of the project. Green roof panels will create open-air courtyards throughout the campus. These courtyards will host art exhibitions and sporting events. At night, the underside of the roof panels will be transformed into what BIG has described as “the largest digital display in China.”

In AI City, people will live in homes with automatically adjusting solar panels and have a digital assistant to run their lives. Buildings will have power systems controlled by Terminus Group software.

“As sunlight hits the houses, bedroom windows become transparent to allow the natural light to wake sleepy residents,” said Terminus Group. “Once the light has filled the room, an AI housekeeper selects your breakfast, matches your outfit with the weather, and presents a full schedule of your day using Terminus Group’s smart transportation solution.” AI City will have e-bikes and self-driving cars to cut down on traffic jams.

12. What is Cloud Valley according to Bjarke Ingels?

A. A smart city with all life in harmony.

B. A site known for high technology.

C. A space intended for wildlife protection.

D. A zone with leading technology companies.

13. What’s the aim of BIG’s design for Cloud Valley?

A. To produce the largest digital display. B. To host art and sports events.

C. To show its environmental objectives. D. To create open-air courtyards.

14. Who are responsible for the housework in Cloud Valley?

A. Digital assistants. B. The residents.

C. Terminus Group. D. Hired workers.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title of the text?

A. Modern Life in Cloud Valley.

B. Buildings Controlled by Software.

C. The Development of AI in Chongqing.

D. An Oncoming AI-run City Campus in Chongqing.

Many people treat “life” as something that happens to them. They think they are the victims. ____16____ However, there are those who are clear on their goals.

When you go your own way, everyone will tell you that you’re wrong at first. But when they find actually they are wrong, they will all come back around. ____19____ And they will ask you how you did it.

Practice discipline

A. Everybody sets goals.

【46题答案】

【答案】My Winter Vacation

Last winter vacation, I had a great time in my grandmother’s hometown, where I happened to visit an unknown but impressive old town.

Over the past years, this old town has not changed its name, even the way of native’s life, just like a living museum for an ancient civilization. I took a walk along the cobbled path, taking photos and just absorbed in this peaceful atmosphere.

After my coming back, I cannot help thinking about that everyone needs a shelter from noise and pressure like this old town for me, so I hope that economic development will be in harmony with the nature.

WHAT KEPT THE NEW CHIMNEY (烟囱) WAITING

A new chimney was going to be built on Grandpa’s house, and the boys were in a state of great excitement. They were always excited when something was going on. “This would be splendid,” Wayne said.

“Mike is coming, you know, to mix the mud and carry it up the ladder to the builder. He will tell us stories in the mornings,” Wayne told Casper.

“Yes,” said Casper, “and, Wayne, let us go get his tools and play we are his helpers, carrying his tools for him. Come on.” “Come on!” shouted Wayne. “The tools are placed against the kitchen wall, where he left them when he brought the things over.” On the way to the kitchen, they saw Grandpa bringing old Molly, their finest horse, to the big, blue cart (马车). That meant a beautiful ride down to the farmland. The boys forgot all about playing tool carriers. They climbed in and rode away.

“Mike is coming tomorrow, you know, Grandpa, and the builder,” said Casper. But dear old Grandpa shook his white head.

“Not tomorrow, boys. You will have to wait a bit longer. I sent word to the builder and Mike last night that they couldn’t come for a few weeks longer. I have decided to put off building the chimney.”

Both the boys were disappointed.

Grandpa did not speak again at once. He was driving old Molly carefully out at the side of the cart road. The boys saw a little crippled (跛脚的) butterfly in the wheel track trying hard to spread its wings. That was why Grandpa turned off (拐弯). Grandpa’s big heart had room enough in it for every live thing.

Back in the track again further on, Grandpa said:“When we get home, boys, I will show you why we have to wait for the new chimney. You will agree with me, I know.” And Grandpa’s eyes shone.

 “A little bird told me,” he said, and that was all the boys found out until they got home.

And there, on a little nest of mud, lined with some dry grass, and resting on the bricks, sat a little bird!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【47题答案】

【答案】“A little bird told me,” he said, and that was all the boys found out until they got home.“A little bird?”, the boys whispered. Full of wonder and thrill, they could not wait to urge their grandpa to go back home from the farmland. On the way back home, they drove the cart merrily, humming a tune and dancing with joy. No sooner had they arrived home than they desperately asked grandpa where the bird was. Under the instruction of grandpa, they fetched the ladder, through which they climbed up to reach the chimney.

And there, on a little nest of mud, lined with some dry grass, and resting on the bricks, sat a little bird. Seeing this little creature, they were rooted to the spot and could not even make a sound for fear of interrupting it. Unable to say a word, they knew why Grandpa delayed the construction of the new chimney. They were waiting for the precious new life. It dawned on them that a moment of kindness could mean so much to another, even just little birds, and that a simple act could make the world so much better.
