You can understand the meaning of this book from the perspective of others.‎ Wuthering Heights Writer: Emily Brontë Score: 8.4‎ Wuthering Heights is “powered by more psychological energy than any book ever written”. Readers admire Wuthering Heights because of “its layered narrative structure, because it is a work of incredible imagination, and because it is far more than a love story. The story shows “the eternal rocks” beneath our fleeting desires.‎ Price:‎ ‎¥22.5(Promotion) ¥41.8(Normal) ¥188.0(Collection)‎ The Pigeon Tunnel Writer: John le Carré Score: 8.8‎ The master of espionage(间谍) fiction offers a memoir of sorts, a series of meticulously crafted, witty and enthralling “stories from my life”. He describes the childhood deceptions and losses that launched him, his schooling in Switzerland, where he made his first “infant steps for British Intelligence, delivering I knew not what to I knew not whom”.‎ Price:‎ ‎¥18.5(Secondhand) ¥22.4(Normal) ¥99.9(Collection)‎ Great Expectations Writer: Charles Dickens Score: 8.5‎ Great Expectations might be the quintessential British novel. To re-read Dickens‘classic as an adult is to discover its wit and brio ‎(文笔生动), its influence, and its truth. It has all the elements of classic Dickens—endearing, flawed characters; a plot that skewers ‎(串住；刺穿) the politics of the time; subplots that skewer morality and culture; a love story; and a wonderful storyline. Price:‎ ‎¥28.5(Promotion) ¥51.4(Normal) ¥148.0(Collection)‎ Vampire in Love Writer:‎ Enrique Vila-Matas Score: 9.2‎ Barcelona-born Vila-Matas has published more than 20 novels, and won the 2014 Prix Formentor. This selection of 19 stories showcases his dark yet whimsical wit and genre-blending tendencies. In the title story, a desperate man with two sharp vampire’s teeth has a sinful eye for an altar boy.

How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of chores that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don’t forget that for your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?” Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.‎ Jenny worked on her chores very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands(差事).‎ The only time she didn’t wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!‎ Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.‎ One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you,” the little girl said.‎ ‎“Well, then, give me your pearls.”‎ ‎“Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit(全套装备), too. Okay?”‎ ‎“Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.”‎ A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.”‎ ‎“Well, then, give me your pearls.”‎ ‎“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy,” the little girl said to her father.‎ ‎“No, that’s okay,” her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”‎ Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.‎ With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet(绒毛) box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing.‎ ‎24. What did Jenny do to get the plastic pearl?‎ A. Let her mother buy it for her.‎ B. Ask her grandmother to buy it for her.‎ C. Get money by doing housework.‎ D. Go to the grocery store and be a waitress.‎ ‎25. Jenny’s father asked twice what role does “Do you love me?” play in the text?‎ A. Summarize the full text.‎ B. Attract readers’ interest and set up suspense.‎ C. Form a connecting link between the preceding and the following.‎ D. Expound the central idea of the whole paper.‎ ‎26. Why does Jenny’s father want her to hand in the pearls?‎ A. Because the fake pearl made Jenny’s neck green.‎ B. Because Jenny’s parents are going to divorce.‎ C. Because Jenny’s father wanted to surprise Jenny.‎ D. Because Jenny’s father doesn’t like the fake pearls.‎ ‎27. What’s the best title of this article?‎ A. The real pearl necklace. B. Real love from parents.‎ C. A self-reliant girl. D. How to identify genuine and fake pearls.‎ C Low self-esteem(自卑) makes us feel bad about ourselves. But did you know that over time it also can cause the development of serious mental conditions such as depression?‎ Self-esteem is, very simply, the set of feelings you have about yourself. It’s developed by your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and relationships.‎ Unlike self-knowledge, which refers to how much you know about yourself, the core of self- esteem is formed around whether you like yourself or not.‎ Depression is much more than just feeling sad. It consume your energy, makes everyday activities difficult and interferes(妨碍) with your eating and sleeping patterns. Psychotherapy and/or medication are highly effective in treating depression.‎ There are several types of depressive disorders, including major depression, persistent(持续的) depressive disorder(紊乱), psychotic depression, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder(SAD).‎ Clinicians(临床医生) use low self-esteem as one possible symptom when they diagnose the psychiatric condition of major depressive disorder. They don’t necessarily care whether low self-esteem causes the depression or vice versa(反之亦然).‎ However, personality researchers have long wondered about the chicken-and-egg problem of self-esteem and depression. Certainly, if you dislike yourself, you’ll be more likely to be depressed. Conversely, if you’re depressed, you’ll be more likely to feel bad about who you are as a person.‎ The only way to disentangle the highly related concepts of self-esteem and depression is through longitudinal research, in which people are followed up over time. A study on depression, conducted by University of Basel researchers Julia Sowislo and Ulrich Orth, contrasted the competing directions of self-esteem to depression vs depression to self-esteem.‎ The findings almost all overwhelmingly support the vulnerability model of self-esteem and depression. Over time, low self-esteem is a risk factor for depression, regardless of who is tested and how. The study indicated that low self-esteem causes depression but not vice versa.‎ Therefore, if a person has low self-esteem, there’s an increased risk of developing depression.‎ This is a very important discovery because it shows that improving a person’s self-esteem can make him or her feel better.‎ ‎28. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Self-esteem can make us feel bad about ourselves.‎ B. Low self-esteem is a series of feelings about yourself.‎ C. The core of self-knowledge is formed around whether you like yourself or not.‎ D. Depression consumes your energy and interferes with your daily life.‎ ‎29. Which of following is closest to “the chicken and egg problem”?‎ A. Relationship between mother and child. B. Cooking relationship.‎ C. Causal relationship. D. Primary and secondary relations.‎ ‎30. What can we infer from Julia Sowislo and Ulrich Orth’s research?‎ A. Clinicians don’t necessarily care whether low self-esteem causes the depression.‎ B. Low self-esteem must lead to depression.‎ C. Having a strong self-esteem is an important factor in avoiding depression.‎ D. There are many ways to improve one’s self-esteem.‎ ‎31. If a person wants to get rid of the low self-esteem control, which of the following methods is wrong?‎ A. Establish the right mindset and believe that you can do it.‎ B. Compare yourself with someone who is much better than yourself all the time.‎ C. Establish the goal, step by step toward the goal.‎ D. Look at the world in your spare time and feel the beauty around you.‎ D A new device(设备) works like a solar panel, except it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun to produce electricity. Instead, it uses energy from the cold night sky.‎ In the center of this device is a thermoelectric generator(热电发电机), which uses the temperature difference between Earth and outer space to create electricity.‎ As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed under a transparent cover and surrounded with materials that keep heat out. It stays cooler than the surrounding air by getting rid of any heat it absorbs as infrared(红外线的) radiation. That radiation can zip up through the transparent cover and on toward outer space.‎ The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate, which is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get several degrees centigrade cooler than the bottom of the generator.‎ Researchers tested the device one clear December night in Stanford, Calif. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of the device. That was just enough power to light a small electric lamp. Further improvements might develop its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter.‎ ‎“It’s a very clever idea,” says Yuan Yang, a materials scientist who works at Columbia University in New York City. “The device still needs improving,” he notes. “But this new device may be useful for backup power,” Yang says. “It might also provide a bit of energy to people living in areas that lack electricity.”‎ ‎“The device could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices,” says Aaswath Raman, a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los ‎ Angeles. “What’s more, this may be useful in areas that don’t see sunlight for months at a time,” Raman adds.‎ ‎32. How is the device designed?‎ A. It includes two aluminum plates with different functions.‎ B. It is equipped with a heat-resistant generator in the center.‎ C. Its two aluminum plates are exposed to air to keep heat out.‎ D. Its generator is sealed by a transparent cover to remain cool.‎ ‎33. What is the limitation with the tested device?‎ A. It won’t be expanded to be much larger.‎ B. It fails to produce electricity fast enough.‎ C. It is unable to power small electric lamps.‎ D. It produces a limited amount of electricity.‎ ‎34. In paragraph 6, Yuan Yang mainly intends to .‎ A. evaluate the device on a positive basis B. point out the problems with the device C. explain the research work for the device D.comment on Aaswath Raman’s prediction ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Lamps Are Powered by the Energy From the Cold Night Sky B. A Generator Producing Electricity Has Been Applied in Many Areas C. Scientists Have Made a Breakthrough in Harvesting Green Energy D. A Device Uses Energy From the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ It can be difficult to start a hobby.

One reason might be soybean products like tofu, natto and miso. Scientists from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo conducted a study into the health benefits of soybeans and their 63 (product). They found that people who 64 (regular) ate tofu, natto and miso were 10 per cent less likely to die from common killers than people who ate no soybean products. Researchers said 65 (eat) soybean-based food lowered the risk of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems.

They are rich 67 protein, fibre(纤维素) and unsaturated(不饱和的) fats. They are also a source of potassium and other minerals. Soy fibre can help to lower cholesterol 68 boost weight loss. Soy is an important part of the cuisine of East Asia, especially in Japan. People in Asia have eaten soy 69 ancient times. The most common types of soy products are tofu(soybean curd), natto(fermented soybeans), miso(a fermented soybean paste added to soups) and soy sauce. Some scientists say miso is high in salt.
