Her new novel Hidden Killers is out now. She is talking about three books that deeply affected her.‎ Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte One night as a child, I walked quietly into the bathroom when I heard a voice calling, “Let me in; let me in!” along with a terrible knock on a window coming from my grandma’s room. Quite afraid, I cried, “Help me! Where’s the ghost?” Grandma looked up and said, “Don’t be silly; I’m listening to a story on the radio called Wuthering Heights.” I joined my grandma and realized then how you could take a story from a book and change it to a different medium (媒介).‎ The Water-Babies By Charles Kingsley This classic Victorian story caught my imagination as a child. It made me consider the unfairness of life — why is one child sleeping in comfort and another forced to climb through a chimney (烟囱)? I especially loved all the questions Tom asks on his adventures (冒险), many of which are about social unfairness. All my life I’ve asked questions too.‎ The Faerie Queene By Edmund Spenser I used to have problems reading — I was told I had “word blindness”. My mother gave me a copy of Spenser’s poem and said, “If you can learn some of this then you’ll be able to read anything.” I rose to the challenge. I learned it off by heart and was so proud of myself for keeping something that difficult in mind. Then I learned that I could learn words just as well as anyone.‎ 1. How did Lynda first know about the story of Wuthering Heights?‎ A. By reading a book borrowed from her grandma.‎ B. By listening to her grandma’s story.‎ C. By listening to it on the radio.‎ D. By reading a ghost story.‎ 2. Which book made Lynda form the habit of asking questions?‎ A. Hidden Killers.‎ B. Wuthering Heights.‎ C. The Water-Babies.‎ D. The Faerie Queene.‎ 1. What change did Lynda show after reading The Faerie Queene?‎ A. She found pleasure in writing poems.‎ B. She began to believe in herself.‎ C. She fell in love with poems.‎ D. She became word-smart.‎ B My name is Deirdre Veneracion and I am a paraglider pilot. I’ve been paragliding since I was 11.‎ My dad and I arrive at our local fly site on a June morning. We meet our instructor and spend the first 20 minutes watching the wind cycles. I go through my pre-flight steps and turn on my radio. At last, I take a step and feel the ground under me fall away. I feel the pressure of my weight on the canopy (伞衣).‎ After 15 minutes of playing with the wind, my father radios me from the place where he is about to take off. “How is the wind?” “Perfect!” I say. Dad takes off behind me.‎ I have done almost 100 flights and yet every flight amazes me just as much or even more than my first. I love the unpredictability of each flight. Every flight is different. After 15 minutes, I decide to land.‎ Now, I’m over a rice field. It is a much smaller landing than most landing zones (地带) but it’s possible. Out of nowhere, I feel my canopy become unstable (不稳定 的). It loses pressure and falls directly in front of me. I am falling. I have butterflies in my stomach. I pull my brake (制动器) line, in the hope that my wing will get pressure again but it doesn’t. I look towards my dad and see that he is also in trouble. It’s as if we were inside a washing machine being thrown up and down. I won’t make it to the landing zone in front of me. To my right is a narrow (狭窄的) stream with hardly any water in it. I make my decision: the narrow stream is my best chance of landing safely.‎ As I touch down, I check on my dad and am glad to hear that he is fine. Local villagers come to check on me but, surprisingly, I am uninjured.‎ This is one of those times when we are reminded that no preparation can prevent Mother Nature from surprising us.‎ 2.

She hurts herself.‎ B. She asks her dad for help.‎ C. She sees a washing machine below.‎ D. She changes her mind about the landing site.‎ C Japan is starting to experiment with self-driving buses in rural ( 乡 村 的 ) communities, such as the town of Nishikata, where the elderly are living a hard life because of fewer bus and taxi services as the population ages and becomes smaller.‎ The advance of the self-driving technology is making cities such as Paris and Singapore experiment with such services, which could prove important in Japan, where populations are not only graying, but becoming smaller, in rural areas.‎ Japan could start the self-driving services for communities that are far from cities by 2020, if the experiments begun this month prove successful.‎ The government plans to turn highway rest stops into centers from which to drive the elderly to medical and banking services.‎ ‎“Smaller towns in Japan are graying even faster than cities, and there are just not enough workers to drive buses and taxis,” said Hiroshi Nakajima of mobile gaming ‎ software maker DeNA Co.‎ In the initial (最初的) experiments, the elderly of Nishikata were sent from a service area to some organizations providing healthcare services.‎ ‎“I worry about not being able to go out when I’m no longer able to drive,” said one test rider, Shizu Yuzawa, adding that she would be open to using such services.‎ The test also checked the vehicle’s safety in road conditions, and if those crossing its path would react to the warning it gives.‎ The ride, at a speed of about 10 kilometers per hour, felt comfortable and safe, said test taker Mieko Shimazaki, 71, but her 72-year-old husband, Susumu, said, “Self-driving cars could be useful in the future, but I’d like to see them go faster, at least at 40 kilometers per hour.”‎ 1. Why are driverless buses appearing in Nishikata?‎ A. Nobody there can drive a bus.‎ B. Its population is aging and falling.‎ C. People there welcome new things.‎ D. People there can hardly afford cars.‎ 2. What does the government plan to do?‎ A. Provide healthcare services.‎ B. Train more bus and taxi drivers.‎ C. Produce more and more driverless cars.‎ D. Set up centers for picking up passengers.‎ 3. What was Shizu Yuzawa’s attitude toward the self-driving services?‎ A. She was in favor of them.‎ B. She was doubtful about them.‎ C. She was uncertain about them.‎ D. She was strongly against them.‎ 4. Which of the following about self-driving buses did Susumu think could improve?‎ A. Their space.‎ B. Their safety.‎ C. Their speed.‎ D. Their price.‎ D The skies are raining big blocks of ice, and experts are trying to learn what’s ‎ going on.‎ For the second time in six days, California was attacked (袭击) by ice balls. The latest happened on early Thursday. A large block of ice dropped into Loma Linda, California. The ice crashed through the metal roof of a fitness center, leaving a hole up to 2½ feet wide. No one was hurt.‎ Two tennis players were playing outside the Drayson Center on Thursday morning. Suddenly they heard a strange sound, said Crawford, an official of the Loma Linda Fire Department.‎ A similar event happened last Saturday in Oakland, California. Early in the morning an ice ball dropped into a field at Bushrod Park and made a hole up to 2 feet wide. Luckily, no one in the park was injured.‎ One theory (理论) is the ice was dropped from planes. But there’s little direct support for that. A few experts have suggested there may be other causes of similar ice falls, perhaps even global (全球的) warming.‎ Stories about dropping ice go back for centuries. They didn’t begin to receive serious scientific attention until a few years ago, however, when Spain was attacked by a dozen large ice balls in 2000.‎ Scientist Jesus Martinez-Frias in Madrid and his team have collected reports of forty cases around the world since 1999 of puzzling falling ice. He thinks the ice forms in the air by a process similar to the formation of hail (冰雹) inside storms but without a storm.‎ Martinez-Frias believes global warming is causing the troposphere (对流层) to rise. This means the roof of the troposphere is forced to a greater height, where it cools more than normal. Thus, the temperature difference between warm and cold air in the troposphere produces strong up-and-down winds that repeat the hail-formation process, without a storm.‎ 1. What took place on Thursday morning?‎ A. A fitness center caught fire.‎ B. A big ice ball fell in Loma Linda.‎ C. There was heavy rain in Loma Linda.‎ D. Two tennis players were hit by an ice ball.‎ 2. What is the similarity between the two events in California?‎ A. No one was injured.‎ B. No building was destroyed.‎ A. Both were seen by Crawford.‎ B. Both caused a large number of holes.‎ 2. What do we learn about dropping ice?‎ A. It is very common around the world.‎ B. It often happens in Spain in recent years.‎ C. It has been carefully studied since 2000.‎ D. It is most likely to be produced by planes.‎ 3. What is the cause of ice falls according to Martinez-Frias?‎ A. Strong winds above the troposphere.‎ B. The formation of hail.‎ C. Global warming.‎ D. Big storms.‎ 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。‎ Linda Spelman was a lawyer who found a new job in a circus. She now works as a trapeze (高空秋千) artist, travelling with the circus around the world. Here is an interview with her.‎ How did you get the job? My father’s a lawyer, so I thought I’d become one, too. Studying law was really hard work. 36 When I finally passed my exams, I thought, “I need a break. I want to travel and learn a language.” So I joined a circus. I went to Canada and did a trapeze course and, amazingly, I was good at it.‎ ‎37 The excitement and the travel. I always wanted to travel and learn languages and I’ve done all of that. Also, I get on really well with circus people. I’ve learned so much about life from them.‎ Have you made any sacrifices (牺牲) to do this job? No, I haven’t, not really. 38 I do miss my family sometimes, but that’s all.‎ What would you like to do next? I’m 34 now. 39 There are Russian trapeze artists still going strong in their fifties.‎ What advice would you give to someone who wanted to do your job? 40 But generally, I’d say to anyone with a dream, “Go for it! You only live once, so why stay in a boring job?”‎ A. What’s your daily life like?‎ B. What do you like most about it?‎ A. We often do the act in the evening.‎ B. I’d like to carry on doing this until I’m at least 50.‎ C. So I took up gymnastics in the evenings to help me relax.‎ D. You need to be fit and strong and have a good head for heights.‎ E.
