Our Most Recommended Books

Looking for a good book? We have the world’s largest collection of expert book recommendations. Over the past decade, we’ve asked hundreds of experts to pick the best books in their field—and to explain in detail why those particular books are so important. Click on each book to find out what experts we interviewed said about it in greater detail.

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill was originally published in 1859, but his exploration of these questions still feels incredibly contemporary. On Liberty remains a central text of the modern liberal tradition, as our interviews below with philosophers, politicians, historians and political commentators make clear.

Middlemarch by George Eliot

Middlemarch by George Eliot was first published in 1871. The novel is set in the fictional English town of Middlemarch during 1829-1832, and follows several distinct, intersecting stories with a large cast of characters.

The Odyssey by Homer and translated by Emily Wilson

If you’re interested in Homer and the poem of the Odyssey, the 2017 translation by Emily Wilson, Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, is a great place to start. Not only is it a highly readable translation, but the introduction provides a lot of context and historical background for anyone wondering who Homer was, when the poem was first written down etc.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird was the only novel published by Harper Lee during her lifetime, and it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. This celebrated novel depicts the racism she observed as a child in her hometown in Alabama. To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in November 1960. Subsequently an early 1957 version was published in 2015 under the title Go Set A Watchman.

1. Which book won the Pulitzer Prize?

A. To Kill a Mockingbird B. The Odyssey

C. Middlemarch D. On Liberty

2. Which of the following is right according to the passage?

Locker Board skateboards were invented by 11-year-old Carson Kropfl, in October of 2016. He wanted a skateboard that could fit in his school locker and backpack, so he decided to create one out of a used skateboard deck. His parents told him he had to start cleaning to pay for his surf lessons and contests. Carson hates to clean, so he asked if he could start making and selling skateboards — like the one he had made for himself.

Carson collects used skateboard decks from skate shops and changes them to Locker Boards. He makes the Locker Board decks by hand. Each board is signed and numbered. The boards are then assembled with new, high-quality wheels. These are one-of-a-kind!

Carson started his online store in November of 2016 and shipped boards all over the country. The reason why Locker Boards have become so popular is that they are good for the planet, easy to take anywhere and fun to ride!

Vans, an American company, found out about what Carson was doing and in January of 2017, set up a monthly recycling program for him at two of their skate stores. Kids who want to donate used decks to Carson can leave them at these Vans locations. So far, Vans has donated over 10 boards to Locker Board.

A popular store in Southern California, Jack’s Surfboards, recently put Carson’s Locker Beard skateboards in their Dana Point store. Another skate shop in Huntington Beach has also started carrying Locker Board skateboards. In a few short months, Carson has appeared on several local news stations and been named by OC Family magazine as one of the top 10 Whiz Kids of Orange County, California.

This year, Carson is donating $1 for every board he sells to the Tony Hawk Foundation because they are focused on empowering kids through skating.

Carson feels the most rewarding part of this whole experience is how he has become a role model for other kids. His aim is to inspire kids to dream hard and work hard.

4. Why did Carson Kropfl make a skateboard himself at first?

A. To earn money. B. To satisfy his need.

C. To take part in a contest. D. To show off to his classmates

5. What can be learned about Locker Boards?

A. They are large in size. B. They look the same all over.

C. They are recycled by skate shops. D. They are environment-friendly.

6. How did the public respond to the Locker Board?

A. They spoke highly of it. B. They were astonished by it.

C. They paid little attention to it. D. They were doubtful about it.

7. Which of the following can best describe Carson Kropfl?

A. Sporty and proud. B. Generous and strict.

C. Humorous and far-sighted. D. Creative and kind-hearted

C

The story of the most sustainable pair of jeans is also the story of a family whose members have dedicated their lives to denim (牛仔布) innovation. It is the great-great-grandson of the family business founder who has brought Candiani and the whole fashion industry to new heights by creating the first fully biodegradable (可生物降解的) stretch denim.

Alberto Candiani, the current owner of Candiani, created the first fully biodegradable jeans using a plant-based yarn (纱线) obtained from natural rubber. Once the innovative denim came to life, a brand-new pair of jeans was put to the test by being buried in forest land for six months. At the end of that period, Candiani’s team discovered the fibers had almost fully disintegrated. The new technology is called Coreva. “These garments (服装) are extremely durable, but at the end of their life, you could send them back to us and we recycle them, or you could fertilize your vegetables with them,” Alberto Candiani said.

Jeans—one of the most popular garments worldwide—generate an environmental impact that has become a real global challenge. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, it takes around 2000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans. And during production, around 71 pounds of carbon dioxide are released. That is equivalent to 53 seven-minute showers, driving a car 78 miles. What’s more, most jeans are manufactured with stretch denim made with plastic, which can take hundreds of years to degrade.

But by creating a circular model in which fabrics (织物) are biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle, tons of garments can be prevented from ending up in landfills. Candiani has not only achieved this by going plastic-free, but the manufacturer has also reduced water use by 75 percent and the use of chemicals by 65 percent. Although Candiani creates a product that is about double the price of traditional denim due to the higher labor and manufacturing costs involved, business is booming. Not only has the company tripled its production, but its motto of “the greenest mill in the blue world” is credible.

8. What highlights Candiani according to Paragraph 1?

A. It has a great founder. B. It creates greener fabrics.

C. It is a family-run business. D. It makes jeans at a lower cost.

9. What do we know about the innovative denim?

A. It can last for six months. B. It is made of recycled materials.

C. It can be reused for growing plants. D. It turns into soil under the forest land.

10. What are the figures in Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The popularity of jeans in the world.

B. The possible reasons for global warming.

C. The complex process of manufacturing jeans.

D. The effects of producing jeans on the environment.

11. Candiani’s innovation may be an example of ________.

A. robbing Peter to pay Paul B. putting the cart before the horse

C. killing two birds with one stone D. solving the problem once and for all

D

Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the “Ice Ribbon”, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.

In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the difference. “It’s not just a block of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”

The first step for building any ice rink (溜冰场) is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The more pure the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.

In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.

With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.

“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

12. Which can replace the underlined word “consistent” in Paragraph 3?

A. United. B. Firm. C. Clean. D. Rough.

13. Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied to the Winter Olympic Games?

A. It’s the most advanced technologies for ice-making.

B. CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.

C. CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.

D. CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.

14. What is Gao Bo’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?

A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Favourable.

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

A. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.

B. Beneath Olympic Ice.

C. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.

D. The Structure of Ice.

第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When you need to find a solution to a design problem, you could ask yourself, “What animals or plants face a similar problem in their lives, and how do they handle it?”____16____ Termites (白蚁) in Africa control the temperature and air currents in their nests by having thick walls and air spaces in the top part. The Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe was designed in a similar way, with thick overhangs shading the windows, and all the offices connected to a big chimney letting hot air escape. This allows it to stay cool while using much less air-conditioning.____17____

Engineer Nakatsu also asked himself the same question.____18____ A keen birdwatcher, Nakatsu realised that kingfishers also experience an abrupt pressure change when diving into the water, but their beaks allow them to pierce through the water smoothly. His team found that putting a long, pointed nose on the train greatly reduced the loud booms in the tunnel and allowed it to run faster.

Having a big picture of the world we live in also helps us understand how technology can be used to protect instead of destroy it.____19____ On the other hand, plastic packaging creates a lot of waste and pollution. One company has come up with an alternative material made of com husk waste and some big companies are starting to use it.

____20____ Nakatsu worries that children today do not have the opportunity to touch and feel nature. He advises that students in university should study more than one narrow field so that they do not just have one fixed way of thinking.

A. In nature, everything gets recycled.

B. To mimic (模仿) nature, we must be familiar with it.

C It turns out that natural beauty often has a logical reason behind it.

D. Large cities full of people are often compared to ants’ colonies (群).

E. This idea was used to arrange hundreds of mirrors at a solar power plant.

F. It could be a good solution for the hot and crowded cities in Southeast Asia too.

G. His problem was that the pressure from a bullet train rushing into a tunnel at high speed caused loud noises.

【52题答案】

【答案】Dear John,

I’m more than delighted to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me about my career choice for the future, so I’m now writing to share my views about it.

In the future, I’m dying to be a doctor. For one thing, if I am a doctor, I can make use of what I have learned to relieve patient’s pains and ever save their lives. For another, I have always been keen on Chinese medicine, which features magic effect. Should I be admitted to a medical college this year, I would make every effort to rediscover the value of Chinese medicine, making it more popular in the world.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua
