Rachel Hore’s fascinating novels move between the past and the present. Her latest The House on Bellevue Gardens is set in London now and in the early 1960s.
Best-selling author Rachel Hore’s previous novels include The Glass Painter’s Daughter, which was shortlisted(入围) for the 2010 Romantic Novel of the Year award, and A Gathering Storm, which was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award.
Here, she shares three books that made an impact on her life.
Orlando
by Virginia Woolf
Reading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer. Forever young, Orlando possesses “the strength of a man and a woman’s grace”.
He lives through four centuries and has many disguises; sometimes he even changes his gender.
It was an excellent literary work through history that excited and inspired me.
Flight Behaviour
by Barbara Kingsolver
I’ve read many of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels, including her well-known The Poisonwood Bible, admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world, of which humanity is a dependent part.
I particularly love Flight Behaviour because she engages the reader easily with an ambitious subject for fiction — climate change.
Her story makes us all care about what we are doing to our world.
The Hawk in the Rain
by Ted Hughes
We were given The Thought Fox to read at school and I was so deeply impressed with its central image of the fox in the snow inspiring the poem that I spent that week’s money on the book it appears in. I read and re-read it and was amazed!
I loved the writer’s technique of description, as well as the energy, the violence and the sensuousness (敏感) of those poems.
Everyone should have their ‘discovery of poetry’ moment, and mine was Ted Hughes.
1. Which of the following books was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award?
A. The House on Bellevue Gardens. B. The Glass Painter’s Daughter.
C. A Gathering Storm. D. Flight Behaviour.
2. Which book did Rachel Hore read when she was in her late teens?
A. Flight Behaviour. B. Orlando.
C. The Poisonwood Bible. D. The Hawk in the Rain.
3. For what does Rachel Hore admire Barbara Kingsolver?
A. The topic of her novel.
B. How she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world.
C. How her novels excite and inspire readers.
D. Her technique of description.
第一部分 阅读理解
Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)——the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
4. Why did the girl complain to her father?
A. Because of her hard life.
B. Because of her tiring job.
C. Because of her father’s busy work.
D. Because of the food her father cooked.
5. What can we infer from this story?
A. The girl liked the coffee best.
B. The father was good at cooking.
C. The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs.
D. Different people have different reactions to adversity.
6. What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 5th paragraph?
A. Thick. B. Easily-broken. C. Strong. D. Hard.
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Father and daughter.
B. Adversities and a chef.
C. A chef and coffee beans.
D. Challenges and responses.

Art—no matter whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it—is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further.
Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.
You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.
However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantage because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.
Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.
8. To complete an art therapy successfully, you have to ______.
A. be talented for art B. see a therapist
C. choose a special media D. accept yourself
9. What advantage do the activities done in a group have in art therapy?
A. The activities are tailored to one’s own needs.
B. The activities are inspiring.
C. The activities are comforting.
D. The activities promote communication.
10. The last paragraph is meant to ______.
A. explain the advantages of art therapy
B. give some advice about promoting your self-respect
C. provide an approach to relieve your emotions
D. summarize the process of art creation
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to develop drawing skills.
B. How to wake up art creativity.
C. Art therapy is a great way to treat mental health.
D. Art can be used to learn how to communicate with oneself.

If work is leaving you exhausted, try turning off your phone at lunchtime. A study found that people who played on their phones during their lunch breaks were more tired in the afternoon than those who went for a walk or read a book. This may be because they used up more mental energy. Whatever the reason, researchers said employees should be aware of the effect and that employers should consider introducing the “digital detox”.
For the study, some 425 men and women were asked how they spent their lunch breaks and how they felt at the time and afterwards. Roughly half said they spent their breaks on digital devices such as smartphones, while the others enjoyed activities such as chatting to a friend or going for a walk. Both groups said they felt they had got away from work during lunch. However, those who had played on their phones didn’t feel rejuvenated afterwards. They were more likely to say they felt “used up” and “burned out” as the day went on.
The researchers said that multitasking on a smartphone by, for example, listening to music while writing an email, can be mentally exhausting. Even something as seemingly simple as reading the news on a phone takes up more brainpower than reading the same information in a newspaper because of the energy needed to ignore the various links embedded (嵌入) in the article and the advertisements that constantly appear.
The researchers wrote in the journal Computers in Human Behavior, “If employees don’t handle tiredness properly at break time, they will be exhausted by their job demands. Organizational interventions (干预) such as ‘digital detox’ and awareness in employees about the negative effects of smartphone breaks are necessary for employees to find effective relaxation.”
12. What can the underlined word “rejuvenated” in Paragraph 2 be replaced by?
A. Ashamed. B. Upset.
C. Interested. D. Energetic.
13. The study was conducted mainly to find out ______.
A. whether smartphone breaks were necessary
B. whether people felt exhausted at work
C. how smartphone breaks affected people
D. how people spent their lunch breaks
14. What does the author try to express in the third paragraph?
A. News on smartphones is less accurate.
B. Multitasking has become a way of life.
C. Too many links and advertisements are in the news.
D. Smartphone multitaskers can become mentally exhausted.
15. According to the text, “digital detox” refers to a time when people ______.
A. are devoted to their work B. turn off electronic devices
C. get rid of tiredness completely D. realize the role of digital devices

One morning, Joey sat at the kitchen table and read the sports page of the paper. He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he smiled. His grandfather sat across the table, looking sad. He didn't pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today?” “There's a ball game between Sequoyah Middle School and my school tonight. Would you like to go?” Joey told him.
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn't read. His grandfather had told him often, “I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read.”
One day Grandfather asked Joey, “Joey, would you go with me to the grocery store? I need several things.” In the store, Joey’s grandfather walked up and down the aisles (过道), looking at all the pictures on the cans. He saw a can without a picture on it. "What's in that can?" he asked Joey, reading the label, said "It's a can of chicken soup." His grandfather walked to the meat counter but he couldn't read the prices or the labels. Finally, Grandfather gave Joey the grocery list and stepped out of the store. “I will meet you at the car,” he said. Joey watched him go through the door, and he thought, I wish I could help him out but I wouldn't know where to begin and how to start.
The next day was Sunday. Joey went to the library to look through some books when he saw a sign on the library wall. It read, “Do you know somebody who can't read? We can help. Just call this number.” Joey wrote the number down, and hurried home “Somebody can teach you how to read. Just call this number.” Joey explained excitedly to his grandfather.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school.

Months later, Grandfather said to Joey, “I just got a letter from Aunt Helen and let me read it you.”

【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了北京冬奥会男子单人花样滑冰得奖情况，并介绍了羽生结弦的比赛经历。
1.考查名词。句意：本周四，在北京冬奥会上，美国花样滑冰运动员陈巍以总成绩332.60分夺得花滑男单金牌。形容词total作定语，修饰名词，所以设空处需填名词作宾语。由于分数大于1，所以使用复数形式。故填points。
2.考查连词。句意：他在短节目和自由滑两个环节均夺得第一。both…and…意为“两者都……”是并列连词，可以连接两个表示并列关系的名词短语，该句中的the short program和free skating之间是并列关系，所以设空处填and。故填and。
3.考查冠词。句意：另一名日本选手宇野昌磨以293分夺得了铜牌。由“Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama”可知前文已经提到一名获奖的日本选手键山优真，所以此处提到的是获奖的两名日本选手中
的另一名选手。the other可表示“两者中的另一个”，又因为句首字母要大写。故填The。
4.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：花滑4A被认为是难度最高的跳跃动作。“4A”是主语，设空处需填动词的谓语形式，由“4A”和谓语动词consider之间是被动关系可知，动词需用被动语态。由于此处表示一般情况，所以使用一般现在时。主语“4A”是单数，所以谓语动词需用第三人称单数。故填is considered。
5.考查形容词。句意：花滑4A被认为是难度最高的跳跃动作。设空处前面有the，另结合文意“难度最高的”，可知设空处需填形容词的最高级。hard的最高级为hardest。故填hardest。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：羽生结弦历史性挑战4A失败，但这是他最接近成功完成的一次。短语attempt to do意为“尝试做某事”，表示尝试具体的一次行为，所以设空处需填land的不定式。故填to land。
7.考查副词。句意：羽生结弦历史性挑战4A失败，但这是他最接近成功完成的一次。分析句子成分，设空处修饰动词completing，所以设空处需填副词作状语。故填successfully
8.考查代词。句意：他于2008年初次登上国际赛事，最终排名第五。设空处修饰名词短语international performance，需用形容词性物主代词his。故填his。
9.考查名词。句意：中国选手金博洋也表示赞许。分析句子成分，expressed是谓语，所以设空处需填名词，作宾语。故填admiration。
10.考查数词。句意：本周四，他在自由滑比赛中以179.45分创个人赛季新高，以总成绩270.43分排名第九。动词rank后面接序数词，表示“排名第……”，所以设空处需填nine的序数词ninth。故填ninth。

第七部分 读后续写
One possible version:
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school. He arrived at the library an hour early. During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn’t remember anything the teacher said. He felt very sad and even wanted to give up. Joey encouraged him and promised to help with his study. They learned together and worked hard on the lesson every day. He took over all the chores to give his grandfather more time to study. Grandfather’s constant efforts earned considerable progress in the following months.
Months later, Grandfather said to Joey, “I just got a letter from Aunt Helen and let me read it to you.” As Grandfather read, he pronounced each word very slowly. When he finished reading the letter, Joey cried. He was so proud of his grandfather for overcoming a lifelong obstacle that his chest felt as though it was about to burst. Grandfather looked up from the page and locked his tear-filled eyes on Joey. “Grandfather,” said Joey, “good job! I’m so proud of you.” Grandfather smiled back and then broke into a big wide grin.
【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Joey的爷爷小时候因为照看动物和照料农场里的庄稼没有上学，所以不认识字。现在，爷爷不能看报纸，需要问Joey才知道发生了什么新闻；去商店买东西，不认识商标和价格，只好把购物清单给Joey，自己去外面等。Joey看出了爷爷的不开心。有一天他看到图书馆的牌子上写着可以教人识字的电话，他兴奋地把号码给爷爷。

②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，爷爷对Joey说:‘我刚收到海伦阿姨的一封信，让我读给你听。’”可知，第二段可描写爷爷读信时，祖孙俩的感受。
2.续写线索：爷爷上学初紧张担心——记不住所学知识——Joey鼓励帮助爷爷——爷爷不断进步——爷爷慢慢读信——Joey为爷爷骄傲——爷爷激动落泪
