A

The great pilosopher Vlaire once said “Reding makes people see and think clearly.” If you want to be a better self, try the following books.

Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is kind of a literary Rosetta Stone, the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modem novels. For a book written in the early 19th century, its modernity is surprising only until you realize that this is the novel that in many ways defined what a modern novel is.

A Wild Child’s Guide to Endangered Animals

From New York Times bestselling author Millie Marotta comes this gorgeous celebration of the animal kingdom. Highlighting the difficulty of 43 endangered species from around the world, the book takes readers on a trip through freshwater, oceans, forests, mountains, deserts, grasslands and wetlands while learning about rare and well- known animals and their habitats.

Patriarchy and Capitalism

Chizuko Ueno, a leading Japanese sociologist, feminist (女权主义) critic and public intellectual, has been a pioneer in women’s studies and the author of many books, including Patriarchy and Capitalism, which discusses the status of Japanese women.

Know My Name

Chanel Miller’s breathtaking memoir is praised to be the Best Book of the Year in People magazine. In this book, she recalls all her whole life. It’s a story of trauma (创伤) and transcendence (超越), shining with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.

1. What is special about Pride and Prejudice?

A. It has a long history. B. It encourages readers.

C. It defines modern novels. D. It includes surprising plots.

2. Which should you choose if you want to know about nature?

A. Marcovaldo. B. Pride and Prejudice.

C. The Rings of Saturn. D. A Wild Child’s Guide to Endangered Animals.

B

Open-air jazz, locally-grown vegetables, Focaccia bread, gout cheese, and Narcan training all competed against a rainstorm last Tuesday at Westside Farmers Market’s annual College Night.

And the vendors (商贩) held out pretty well. Even as the raindrops intensified, folks kept exploring the tables stationed in the parking lot of St. Monica Church. Among the crowd were a number of college students, mostly from the University of Rochester, likely brought in by the College Night awards being offered — a five-dollar token (购物券), a handbag, and a prize raffle entry, all free of charge.

Now in its 15th year, Westside volunteer Jackie Farrell said the market partners merely with local farms, businesses, and community groups to populate its tables. “Our mission really is to serve the people in the community, getting them health and nutrition information, and connecting them to the farmers who grow the produce,” Farrell said, “Everything has to be local. It’s a producer-only market, so you have to grow or produce whatever you’re going to sell here.” Those producers had diverse offerings. Vegetables, of course, were abundant but sellers also pushed cheeses, spreads, bread, prepared pasta dishes, and much more.

The community groups offering information were diverse too. Recovery All Ways, a local nonprofit with a stated “mission to support anyone affected by substance use disorder” handed out Narcan and trained people in its use. Their station was next to a Moms Demand Action tent, where staffers provided information on physical safety. SNAP-Ed nutrition and benefits educators also ran a table.

The activities of the stations was scored by live music. The University’s Midnight Ramblers performed, and a local jazz band played away as the rain showers started rolling in.

Farrell hoped that the College Night promotion would help make students more comfortable crossing the bridge into the Rochester community. “We love college students, and we keep encouraging them that all they have to do is go across the bridge.”

4. What attracted college students to the College Night?

A. Free prizes. B. Scenery in the rain.

C. Interesting books. D. Featured goods.

5. What is the characteristic of Westside Farmers Market?

A. It is managed by farmers themselves.

B. Its visitors are mostly university students.

C. Its offerings are locally grown or prepared.

D. Farmers provide more vegetables than corn.

6. Which of the following can best describe the College Night?

A. Crowded and chaotic. B. Busy and festive.

C. Luxurious and splendid. D. Romantic and peaceful.

7. What might be a suitable title for the text?

A. Westside Farmers Market is flowering rapidly

B. College Night channels products to community

C. College Night bridges university and community

D. Westside Farmers Market is expanding nationwide

C

More than a third of the world’s population lives in dry lands, areas that experience significant water shortages. Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas access clean drinking water.

They developed a low-cost gel film (凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate. Combining two simple ingredients, cellulose and konjac gum, the gel is inexpensive to produce. Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity (潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.

Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air are typically energy-intensive and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a vast improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be moulded into a shape or size that best suits the user.

“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices at home that they can easily operate.”

“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the yield, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.

8. What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2?

A. It can increase the humidity of the air.

B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.

C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.

D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.

9. Why does the author mention previous water harvesting methods in paragraph 3?

A. To prove the advantages of the new gel.

B. To show the tough living conditions in dry regions.

C. To state the process of manufacturing the new gel.

D. To present the theory of water harvesting technologies.

10. What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water harvesting method?

A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical.

C. Disapproving. D. Hopeful.

11. What will scientists plan to do next?

A. Develop a thicker gel. B. Produce the gel on a large scale.

C. Raise money for further research. D. Teach people to make the gel at home.

D

On the day of the San Francisco Giants’ World Series parade(游行). I made my way to the corner of the street where I was sure I could have a good position to watch the player drive by in their cars. Then the parade started and thousands of arms extended towards the sky. And just like that, none of us could see the parade. Only our phones could.

Don’t get me wrong. I needed my phone to keep in touch with my colleagues, friends and my family. But once the parade began, my phone went from being a useful tool to being a distraction.

I knew the photos I’d take with my phone’s camera would pale in comparison to the footage I’d see on the news that night. Most importantly, I knew this gathering of thousands of people in the streets was really more about experiencing the energy than recording the visuals. All of that pre—parade analysis went out of the window once the first band marched past me. The recording device was just too close. I just couldn’t resist. I took about 40 photos and shot about 20 minutes of video. Then I stared at my phone for 30 minutes and missed the experience I was there for in the first place.

A few decades ago, my friend Isaac and I cut school and went to watch the same parade. Thus was before smartphones and neither of us had a camera. I don’t remember a single visual from that day. But I do remember the feeling. I especially remember the feeling I had after I arrived home to find my parents, who had no way of reaching me all day, wanting just inside my front door.

Of course, it is OK to take a few photos on special occasions. But it seems that we’ve developed such a fear of missing the photo opportunity that we have missed the real life moments as they pass across the two inch screens on our phones.

12. What does the underlined word “distraction” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Something that makes you feel extremely angry.

B. Something relaxing you do alter you have been working.

C. A game or an activity that provides entertainment and pleasure.

D. A thing that takes your attention away from what you want to focus on.

13. What had the author planned to do before he went to the parade?

A. Keep his phone in his pants. B. Take as many photos as possible.

C. Throw his phone out of the window. D. Study the videos just for 30 minutes

14. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 4?

A. He missed his parents very much. B. Life in the past was much happier.

C. It was inconvenient without phones. D. It is important to experience the visuals.

15. How is text developed?

A. By reasoning. B. By giving examples.

C. By analyzing data. D. By experimenting.

I’d had a rather stressful day at work. It didn’t help that I’d also had another argument with my teenaged daughter that morning. By the time I arrived home, I eagerly anticipated (期待) getting my evening walk to clear my mind. It was getting cloudier and I could tell that rain was coming. No problem. I would be home long before it rained.

The intense walk worked off much of my energy. I slowed my pace, but a quick glance down shocked me. The cutest Jack Russell Terrier (杰克拉希尔小猎犬) had appeared out of nowhere and was keeping pace beside me. I knelt to pet her, delighted to discover that her ears were soft. She reminded me of my childhood dog, Lucky. They had the same coloring—white with a large black spot on the back and side, brown face, and white nose.

“Where did you come from, little one?” She was not wearing a collar or identification tags. I remembered seeing a terrier when I drove into the neighborhood a few hours earlier. It had darted into the street in front of my car, but I had assumed she lived in the area. She must be the same dog.

I continued my walk, thinking she would find her way home on her own. The little stray (流浪

者) continued to keep pace, walking next to me as if we were age-old companions. When I looked around, I was not surprised that, other than the dog, I was alone on this dreary (沉闷的) night. The sky had already darkened. I was worried. If I left her out there, she might be hit by a car. I wondered if I should just take her home.

The timing was ironic (讽刺的). My sixteen-year-old daughter, Megan, hoped we would adopt a younger, livelier dog because our dog Daisy was too old. We had resisted her requests, since she would be leaving for college in a couple of years. Besides, Megan and I had not exactly agreed with each other earlier that day. I didn’t want it to seem as if I was rewarding her after yet another argument.
