His new book The Last Days of Night is out now. He is talking about some of his favorite books.‎ Murder in Three Acts ‎ BY AGATHA CHRISTIE My mother is a crime fiction（侦探小说）lover and，when I was having trouble learning to read, we’d sit in my bed at home in Chicago and take it in turns to read a paragraph. It was the first book I read cover-to-cover and I later became a writer because of that experience. Not only did it give me a love of crime fiction but, more importantly, it taught me that reading can be a shared experience.‎ Cryptonomicon BY NEAL STEPHENSON This book showed me that historical fiction need not be dry, but can be lively and enjoyable. Stephenson asks readers to take science seriously, but writes the story in a funny way. I’d long known of Alan Turing, but Stephenson’s technique (手法）of describing him was surprising; I saw how a writer can bring a real person to life for modern readers.‎ A Visit from the Goon Squad BY JENNIFER EGAN Egan uses a technique that I drew on when writing The Imitation Game. She tells stories from different voices and times, and uses many styles that say to readers, “I’ve done a lot of work, but now you have to join in and work it out for yourselves.”‎ With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get other people discussing the book. I’ve just started the conversation.‎ ‎21. What influenced Moore to be a writer?‎ A. Reading crime fiction in secret. B. Having trouble learning to read.‎ C. Reading a book with his mother. D. Writing stories at a young age.‎ ‎22. What does Moore think of Cryptonomicon?‎ A. Boring. B. Serious.‎ C. Imaginative. D.Humeorous.‎ 23. What does Egan hope readers will do?‎ A. Write her some letters. B. Think for themselves.‎ C. Tell their own stories. D. Ask her some questions.‎ B One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man's house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said，“No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱）behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate ” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow,” said Kavya.‎ The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said，“Shout loudly if you need me” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you.” he said in a low voice.‎ We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya's house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man's ‎ house.‎ We told the story to Kavya's mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said，“Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you ” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya's mother was all smiles.‎ ‎24. The children decided to climb over the water tank______________. .‎ ‎ A. to see who was brave enough to do that B. because their ball fell onto the tank ‎ C. after they were refused by the man D. because they wondered who the man was ‎25. The surprise mentioned in Paragraph 3 refers to_________________. .‎ ‎ A. a tennis ball B. storybooks C. toys D. a gold bar ‎26. We can infer from the text that Kavya's mother______________. .‎ ‎ A. hated watching TV B. was proud of her daughter ‎ C. knew the man very well D. enjoyed playing tennis ‎27．What can we learn from the story?‎ ‎ A. The day has eyes, the night has ears. B. Better late than never.‎ ‎ C. A bad thing never dies. D. Friendship is love with understanding.‎ C Why do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny. ‎ People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money. Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don't ever feel pressured into buying something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it! ‎ Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(必需的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive. ‎ Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul. ‎ Art enriches your life. Love—even the love of a work of art—contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan(寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it? ‎ Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg. ‎ Happy art collecting! ‎ ‎28. What's the purpose of the passage? ‎ ‎ A.To advise us to buy an expensive artwork.‎ ‎ B. To remind us to be sensible when buying an artwork.‎ ‎ C. To teach us how to choose works of art.‎ ‎ D. To explain the benefit of art to people.‎ ‎29. According to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art? ‎ ‎ A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.‎ B. Whether it is fashionable at present.‎ C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.‎ D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.‎ ‎30. Which of the following words best describes a work of art placed in a house? A. Ordinary B. Attractive. C. Necessary. D. Unique.‎ ‎31. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 means that  . ‎ A. art can show what you look like B. art is an expression of yourself C. a mirror has a feature similar to art D. a mirror can be a piece of true art ‎32. By saying “Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg” the author wants to tell us that _______.‎ ‎ A. Art loving is priceless. B. Art is a kind of thing that costs much.‎ ‎ C. Art loving is not so expensive a habit D. Art helps you to make much money D In recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about "the brain drain (人才流失) ," which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment. For example, according to a report from U.N., between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian (伊朗的) scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30percent of Chilean (智利的) engineers and 15 percent of Turkish (土耳其的)physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.‎ Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign-born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is not the reason for "the brain drain'"?‎ ‎ A. Better chances of study. B. Better research condition.‎ ‎ C. Good job possibility. D. Good housing.‎ ‎34. How many American doctors are foreign-born?‎ ‎ A. More than 20 percent. B. About half of them.‎ ‎ C. Several thousand. D. About 15 percent.‎ ‎35. Which is the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. How to seek a job in the USA. B. Doctors' immigration to the USA.‎ ‎ C. The brain drain. D. A strange case.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Not all people like to work but everyone likes to play. All over the world men and women and boys and girls enjoy sports. ‎ ‎ 36 They help to keep people healthy and feel good: When they are playing games, people move a lot. This is good for their health. Having fun with their friends makes them happy.‎ ‎ ‎37 In small towns, crowds meet to watch the bicycle races or the soccer games. In the big cities, thousands of people buy tickets to see an ice skating show or a baseball game.‎ ‎ 38 What are your favorite sports now? You probably play the games that people in your town or city play. 39 Then swimming is probably one of your sports. Boys and girls in Australia love to swim. There are wonderful beaches there and the weather is good for swimming. 40 Then you would like to ski. There are many skiers in Austria where there are big mountains and cold winters. Does it rain often where you live? Then kite flying would not be one of your sports. It is one of the favorite sports of Thailand. ‎ A. How many sports do you like?‎ B. What's the weather like?‎ C. Is the climate hot where you live?‎ D. Or do you live in a cold climate?‎ E. Sports help people to live happily.‎ F. What games have you played?‎ G.
