certainly one of the most absorbing habits.For young adults who love to read,finding somegood books to read is very essential.Writing a book review can help you to improve your language and writingskills.The Book ThiefListed onThe New York Times Childrens Best Seller List for over 100 weeks,The Book Thief by Markus Zusak isthe story of a young girl in the Nazi camps set during World War II.So,if you love history and wish to learn howthe life was during Adolf Hitlers time,read this historic book.The Diary of Young GirlEven Anne Frank can not have imagined that her personal diary written during World War II would becomesuch a popular book.Its a must read that describes the situation of a family in the evils of wars through the eyesof a teenager.Animal FarmAnimal Farm is one of the most popular books by George Orwell.It is just a reflection of the Stalin and WorldWar II period that has been so creatively presented in this book.It is an interesting example of how literature canbe used to present conditions common in the society.Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twains Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the great American novels in history,and is certainly agreat pick for young adults.Young Huck Finn and his mischief along with the color1 ful description of peoplearound theMississippi Rivermake this novel a great book to read.1.Which book describes the authors own experiences according to this passage?A.The Book ThiefB.The Diary of Young GirlC.Animal FarmD.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn2.What do the first three books have in common?A.All of them are about wars.B.All of them are about farms.C.All of them are intended for history lovers.D.All of them were written during World War II.3.The purpose of this passage is to _.A.instruct youngsters how to improve skillsB.tell youngsters some wonderful reading habitsC.introduce several good books to youngstersD.give youngsters advice on writing a book reviewBTo hear people talk about Internet friendships,you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing ande-crime.While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online,assuming every friendship orconnection made on Instagram,Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.As a woman who works in the creative industry,I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldntfind elsewhere,and making some great friends along the way.My first online friendship was on Twitter withmy(now)best friend,during the university exam period.We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages,set a study date,and havent looked back since.Drawn to each other by similar circumstances,friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend tobegin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe theyve read the post on Instagram.Maybe they havethe same taste in food or politics.Or maybe they just love memes too.If online friendships start similar tofriendships offline,they grow in the same way,too.Often through mutual support:apart from calling a friend tocongratulate him on that new job,you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.Despite my positive experiences when I tell people,most are still suspicious.Eyebrows are raised higherwhen I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meetface-to-face too.Actually,these are just as valid as other friendships,according to behavioural psychologist JoHemmings,who says online friendships can be real.So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because youre popular on Instagram?Hemmings has simple rules.She tells me“You have to equally feel comfortable that youre getting something ofeach other instead of being used to enable something that isnt friendship.”Therefore,if all a“friend”online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarelytakes an interest in you,then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship.On that note it is worthremembering that just because someone has a lot of followers,it doesnt necessarily mean they have lots offriends.4.What is most peoples attitude towards online friendship?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Objective.D.Neutral.5.Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?A.To introduce the background information of the text.B.To convey the writers attitude and give the related example.C.To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.D.To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.6.How can online and offline friendships be deepened?A.They should be based on shared interest.B.They need to have common ground.C.They require support from each other.D.They cant live without social media.7.According to the author,whats the golden rule to make friends online?A.A friend to all is a friend to none.B.Without confidence there is no friendship.C.A friend without faults will never be found.D.Friendship cannot stand always on one side.CThe modern Olympics,which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago,have become theworlds most important sporting competition.From the 8th century B.C.to the 4th century A.D.,the the ancientOlympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus.The first modern Olympics took placein1896 inAthens,and featured 280 participants from 13 nations,competing in 43 events.Since 1994,the Summerand Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years.The 2020 Summer Olympics,delayed oneyear because of the

the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event.In 393 A.D.,EmperorTheodosiusended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again,largely thanks to

visiting the ancient Olympic building.In November1892,at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athltiques in Paris,Coubertin suggested the idea of making theOlympics an international athletic competition

Olympics are popular in modern timeDWatching what you eat can be easier said than done,but a recent study shows it might not just be about whatson your plate it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years,splitting them into three categories based on howquickly they ate:slow,normal,and fast.They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study,sharingtheir diet,physical activity,and medical history.In the beginning,none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome(新陈代谢综合征)-meaning at least three risk factors which can lead to health problems like heart conditionsand diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed(诊断)with metabolic syndrome and their eating speed was a major predictor,according to the results in the journal Circulation.The fast eaterswere 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters.Just 2.3 percent of sloweaters received the diagnosis,compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters.But thats not all.Fast eaters also saw moreweight gain,larger waistlines,and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signalyou to stop.“So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,”said Takayuki Yamaji,MD,study author andcardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating,too.One study of New Zealand women found fasteaters have higher body-mass indexes(指数),and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate lesswhen told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing.Initial research even suggests chewing yourfood longer could bum more calories-up to about 1,000 extra every month.12.What are the participants divided by?A.Medical history.B.Health condition.C.Physical activity.D.Eating speed.13.Which may be the result of the study?A.Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B.Normal and slow eaters dont have metabolic illness.C.89%of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D.Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.14.What does the underlined word“gobbling”in Paragraph 4 best mean?A.Tasting slowly.B.Digesting quickly.C.Eating greedily.D.Cooking carefully.15.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.The importance of eating speed.B.The advantage of eating slowly.C.The result of a Chinese study.D.Fast eating and overeating.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0
