Four Novels Recommended to Readers
Come Back for Me by Sharon Hart-Green
Loss, sufferings, memory, and, above all, the ties of family and being Jewish are the factors that weave together this
whole story. Come Back for Me travels through time and place only to bring us, eventually, to the connections between
generations. The main character is a young war survivor whose effort to find his sister takes him to post-war Israel.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
It is 1939, Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier
still.
Liesel Meminger is a little girl living outside of Munich, who tries to keep body and soul together by stealing when
she meets with something she can’t resist——books. With the help of her father, she learns to read and shares her stolen
books with her neighbors during bombing attacks as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
Red Shoes for Rachel: Three Novellas by Boris Sandler
Rachel, a daughter of Holocaust survivors raised in Brighton Beach, meets with a Moldovan Jewish woman as she
is tending to her disabled, elderly mother along the Coney Island boardwalk. As the two begin a relationship, the story
exposes their past and the common points between the two children of Holocaust survivors raised in very different
societies.
Shidduchcrisis: Short Stories by Penina Shtauber
Like any world, it has its stereotypes. We’ve got the mean guy and the shallow girl, the too-religious, the

B
Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society (the elite circle of
top British scientists), his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, the man who founded the famous Wedgwood
Potteries, and his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a famous physician, thinker and philosopher who, like his grandson,
spent much time studying the evolution of life.
After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury, where he was educated at the Grammar School, Darwin went up to
Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen, he left Edinburgh and went to
Cambridge University, planning to enter the church, but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he
abandoned theology.
Shortly after graduating from Cambridge, he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle, which was about
to start on a scientific and cartographic(地图的) survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December
1831 and was to last almost five years, during which time he collected considerable documentation.
Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas, particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands,
a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises, Darwin observed, differed from island to island, and this, he inferred,
showed different forms of evolution, since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by
the iguanas(蜥蜴 ) he found, and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among
stones, while those that lived on land had a sharper head, more fit for a herbivorous(食草的) animal.
Darwin developed his theory of evolution, but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly
seen as a great milestone in scientific thought, and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it, and
Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people’s observations.
24. What is the purpose of Paragraph1？
A. To honour his family.
B. To increase his popularity.
C. To show his family's influence on him.
D. To highlight his family's contributions.
25. What did Darwin end up studying at Cambridge University？
A. Science.
B. Medicine.
C. Theology.
D. Natural history.
26. Why were the iguanas different from island to island？
A. Because of their habitats.
B. Because of their origins.
D. Because of their types.
C. Because of their foods.
27. What can be learned about Darwin's theory of evolution？
A. He felt quite content with it.
B. He published it once finished.
D. It caused a worldwide disagreement.
C. It was a great breakthrough in science.

C
Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity(圈养), they can be
trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.
But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans(鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes
dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species,
reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry(模仿) and
even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.
“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael
Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.
However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even
gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the
Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be
speaking about their “friend” behind its back?
For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the
largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.
Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis(假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and
other primates(灵长目动物 ). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among
biologically different species.
“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same
patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.
Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to look at other
planets to look for aliens,” Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing
species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”
28. What does the underlined word “gossip” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Singing
B. Shouting
C. Chatting
D. Arguing
29. What was the aim of the recent study?
A. Learn more about intelligent creatures of the sea
B. Explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceans
C. Create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species
D. See whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way
30. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beings.
B. It is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into them.
C. Both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistles.
D. Both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors.
31. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Aliens living underwater
B. Intelligent creatures of the sea
C. A study of intelligent dolphins
D. Reasons for the intelligence of sea creatures
D
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of
surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen
from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere
试卷第 4页，共 8页

conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and
enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust
storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them
chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and
professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will
produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a
human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,”
Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃ and processed to separate the carbon
and oxygen. Carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for
400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to
endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months
when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they
dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
32. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
33. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars
34. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious.
B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent.
D. Courageous and imaginative.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he
always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he started to say, “Er … What … What do you really want to do in the beautiful future?”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if
he gets angry? What if I let him down?” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may not be the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was
shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious, Dad?”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you
really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some
crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the
sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we get lucky,” he said, picked up a web
basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while. Then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand
with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment.
At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later,
some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
