To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.‎ ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter This book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the ‎ Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90‎ SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as selfinvolved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60‎ ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prizewinning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10‎ NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $30.80‎ ‎1. Which book has been produced into a film according to the text?‎ A.

Its content about love. D. Its storytelling and laughs.‎ ‎3. What are you inspired to do by reading Wolf Hall?‎ A. Broaden our eyes.‎ B. Appreciate the English countryside.‎ C. Know the foreign culture.‎ D. Experience the joy and sadness of the characters.‎ ‎4. Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach?‎ A. Because it's about the author’s hometown island.‎ B. Because it needs a time machine.‎ C. Because it's about ancient buildings.‎ D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.‎ ‎【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是应用文。文章介绍了几本激励读者环游世界的书。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen可知。已经被拍成电影的书是Beautiful Ruins。故选C。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第三段第二句中strange storytelling and the laughs表明这本书的特点是它奇怪的叙述和笑点。故选D。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，阅读这本书让你渴望去欣赏英国的乡村，故选B。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，因为本书描述的是关于作者家乡的岛屿，故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】事实询问题，这类试题通常以疑问词what/who/when/where/why/how引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源。同时要注意题目和文章中的暗示作用，特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。本题第2小题，第三段第二句中strange storytelling and the laughs表明这本书的特点是它奇怪的叙述和笑点。故选D。‎ B It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then ‎ it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.‎ Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.‎ It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.‎ The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.‎ ‎5. What is the author's wish to his daughter?‎ A. Getting a good job in the future.‎ B. Making many friends in her school.‎ C. Traveling around the world in her life.‎ D. Having a happy life ever after.‎ ‎6. What can we know from Paragraph 2?‎ A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.‎ B. Life is always full of difficulties and challenges.‎ C. There are times that life goes against us.‎ D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.‎ ‎7. How to get happiness in author's opinion?‎ A. Reward yourself once a day.‎ B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.‎ C. Get rid of those disturbing things.‎ D. Take charge of your life independently.‎ ‎8. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To show the significance of love.‎ B. To describe a daughter's growth.‎ C. To introduce the definition of love.‎ D. To tell a young father's experience.‎ ‎【答案】5. D 6. C 7. B 8. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者每天为女儿读故事书，希望女儿从此以后能过上快乐幸福的生活，后来作者明白：幸福来自于自己的创造，来自于充满爱的心。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的live happily ever after可知，作者希望女儿从此过上幸福的生活。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本段作者写了女儿今后可能遇到的害怕、哀痛、悲伤、绝望的时刻，这些都是生活中与我们心意背道而驰的，故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文中第三段最后一句Happiness is something you create…可知，作者认为幸福需要自己去创造，故选B。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的happiness comes when you love可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表明爱的意义和重要性，故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第2小题，本段作者写了女儿今后可能遇到的害怕、哀痛、悲伤、绝望的时刻，这些都是生活中与我们心意背道而驰的，故选C。‎ C Photos of the moon are beautiful if taken well, but it can be very hard to get ‎ a picture of the moon that doesn't look blurry! In order to take a perfect picture of the moon, apart from a highquality camera, the associated equipment and the skills to set up your camera, you also need to pick a proper time and a good place.‎ Choose your favorite moon phase. The moon can be photographed in any phase except the new moon, which is not visible to Earth. The first quarter, half, and third quarter phases provide high contrast that allows you to see the craters(坑) in greater detail, while the full moon is a dramatic choice for a skyscraper. What phase you choose is up to your personal preference, but it's best to have a phase chosen before going out to photograph the moon.‎ Learn when the moon rises and sets. When the moon sets or rises, it is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger and closer. This makes it much easier to photograph! Check an almanac(年历) or a weather app for moon rising and setting times in your area.‎ Pick a clear night. Clouds, fog, and air pollution will blur your photographs. Check a weather app or watch the weather forecast before leaving for your session and while photographing. A clear night with low smog content and no rain is best for moon photography.‎ Choose a location away from direct light sources. The moon appears bright because it reflects the light of the sun, and additional light from streetlights, homes, and cars can make the moon appear duller and blurrier in pictures. It is fine if there is light in the distance, but be sure that you are not photographing close to another light source.‎ ‎9. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “blurry”？‎ A. Unclear. B. Transparent.‎ C. Confusing. D. Ugly.‎ ‎10. Why is the new moon not a perfect choice when taking a photo of the moon?‎ A. Because the new moon is not enjoyed by most people.‎ B. Because the new moon is visibly seen from the earth.‎ C. Because it appears at the earliest time of a month.‎ D. Because the new moon can't be photographed on Earth.‎ ‎11. Which of the following is not a must to take a perfect photo of the moon?‎ A. A highquality camera. B. The skills to set up the camera.‎ C. A weather app. D. A suitable location.‎ ‎12. What's the main idea of the passage?‎ A. How to select a camera for a perfect moon photo.‎ B. How to pick a time and place for a perfect moon photo.‎ C. What the necessary skills are to take a perfect moon photo.‎ D. Why the new moon is a bad choice for a perfect moon photo.‎ ‎【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C 12. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是说明文。自古以来，月亮对人类有着神秘的吸引力，观望月球、给月亮拍照便是人类了解月亮的主要手段。本文就如何给月亮拍出一张完美的照片向我们提出几点建议。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据本文第一句中的转折连词but可知，blurry的意思应该与前文Photos of the moon are beautiful意思相反。且本文多次出现了blurry的派生词，如倒数第二段第二句中的blur your photographs和最后一段第二句中的appear duller and blurrier，根据这些信息可知，blurry的意思是“模糊不清的”，故答案为A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，新月在地球上是看不见的，不能够被拍到，故答案为D。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段第四句和第四段第三句可知，在了解月亮升落或挑选晴朗夜晚时，年历和天气预报都能代替天气软件，因此C项不是必需的。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本文的结构是“总——分”型，第一段的尾句是从总到分的过渡句，也是主题句，概括了文章的主要内容，由此可知答案为B。‎ ‎【点睛】做词义猜测题时，利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键。最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其要抓住所需推断词汇前后的内容。本题第1小题，根据本文第一句中的转折连词but可知，blurry的意思应该与前文Photos of the moon are beautiful意思相反。且本文多次出现了blurry的派生词，如倒数第二段第二句中的blur your photographs和最后一段第二句中的appear duller and blurrier，根据这些信息可知，blurry的意思是“模糊不清的”，故答案为A。‎ 第二节 (共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。‎ How to Overcome Challenges in Your Life We all face tough and difficult challenges in life.

Say “YES, I CAN.” 可知本段强调“自我激励”，与C选项“培养自信，告诉自己你不可能在这件事上失败。”相符，故选C。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 根据本段段首句Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. 可知本段强调“让失败和恐惧以积极的方式激励你。”与D选项“振作起来，并从中失败学习，然后朝着积极的方向继续前进。”相符，故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ A选项Stay positive and confident“保持乐观和自信。”与下文To overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.“为了克服困难，你必须相信自己真的能够做到。”相符，故选A。‎ 第三部分 知识运用 (共三节，满分25分)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后就从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Todd Jones is a 15yearold student from Washington, D．C.

The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.‎ ‎ The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.‎ ‎ Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.‎ ‎ Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”‎ ‎ This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against ‎ machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.‎ ‎ Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.‎ ‎ These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.‎ ‎72. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.‎ A. Twitter is having a hard time B. old cottages are in need of protection C. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology ‎73. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.‎ A. is related to nature B. is out of date today C. consumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world ‎74. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.‎ A. have destroyed many pre-industrial arts B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts C. can become intelligent by learning history D. can regain their individual identity by using machines ‎75. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.‎ A. positive B. defensive C. cautious D. doubtful ‎76. What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Past Glories, Future Dreams B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity ‎【答案】72. D 73. A 74. B 75. A 76. C ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是关于现代科技公司运用“大自然对人们创造力产生作用”的理念，积极创设原生态的办公环境。这里提到的低科技指的是工业化之前的建造技术，它更贴近自然。在自然的办公环境下，职员们不会感到有压力，对他们的健康是有好处的。‎ ‎【72题详解】‎ D细节理解题。作者提到两个19世纪的村舍是为了表明什么？根据短文第二段中Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative可知，低科技不是虚拟的，因此要充分的利用它，高科技公司需要有创造力。而短文开头提到的两个19世纪的小村舍就是低科技技术下的产物。现代的高科技公司也需要用低科技的理念创设原生态的办公室。故选D。‎ ‎【73题详解】‎ A 推理判断题。低科技被认为是什么样的事物？根据下文中作者给出的例子so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting以及最后一段中Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office可以判断出，低科技跟大自然有关，即在一个天然的环境下，故选A。B选项意思是低科技已经过时了，这不符合文意，现在很多高科技的公司都在打造低科技的办公室，让职员们更接近自然；C选项的意思是低科技消耗很多能源，其实正好相反，低科技的东西都是很天然的，不需要消耗很多能源；D选项的意思说低科技是虚拟的，而短文短文中说它并不是虚拟的，故与文意不符。故选A。‎ ‎【74题详解】‎ B细节理解题。第五段主要是说人类怎样？根据这一段的第一句话This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties可知，工艺基础理论是有其历史根源的，英国的艺术家、作家William Morris又回到了19世纪60年代的工业化之前的艺术。由此可知选B。‎ ‎【75题详解】‎ A推理判断题。作者对低科技的态度可以用哪一个词来形容？A是积极的；B是辩护的；C是谨慎的；D是怀疑的。通过作者给出的这些例子可以看出，利用低科技建造的原生态办公室对职员们的工作的积极性是有好处的。并且作者还引用了一项研究Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities来说明自然环境对我们精神上的有利影响。故选A，是积极的。‎ ‎【76题详解】‎ C 主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者告诉我们低科技不是虚拟的，现代的高科技公司需要有创造力，所以要充分的利用以前的低科技技术，创设更加原生态的办公环境。故用High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices作为题目是最合适的。‎ 考点：科普类短文阅读。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
