A
Don’t have plenty of time for reading？If you are interested in non­fiction books，here are good choices for you.
A Room of One’s Own
This essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In it，Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women，in other words，spend so much time cooking，cleaning，and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well，therefore，a woman must have “a room of her own”. While on its surface，this essay appears to be only about writing，it is actually about wealth and class，freedom and imprisonment，and the power struggle between sexes.
The Art of War
Written by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi，The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters，each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war，the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions. For centuries，it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.
Letter to My Daughter
This book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou，a respectable American poet，is written for “the daughter she never had”—the millions of women，both young and old，who she considers to be her “family”. From the viewpoint of a caring，older relative，this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences，including the birth of her only child，a son，as well as the development and loss of friendship.
A Brief History of Time
If you’re short on time，then why not read about，well，the creation of time？This book，first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking，explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe，including if and when it will end，and if so，how. Despite its heavy subject matter，Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand，even for those who know little about physics.

(2018·昆明高三复习适应性检测)Spider monkeys have long，thin arms with hook­like hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指)．
The brown­headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的) tail，which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day，the spider monkey searches for fruits，which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers，seeds，leaves，and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.
The brown­headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’ backs. All brown­headed spider monkey babies are born with pink faces and ears.
Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with their arms and legs swinging. Their genus(属) name is Ateles，which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.
Hunting the brown­headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador，a country in northwestern South America，but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.

4．Spider monkeys live mostly on ________．
A．insects　　　　　　　　 B．fruits

B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“During the day，the spider monkey searches for fruits，which make up the main part of its diet.”可知，在白天，蜘蛛猴寻找水果，这是它们饮食的主要成分。据此可知，它们以水果为主食。live on意思是“以……为主食”。
