AAre you looking for a young adult novel? If you，re, here are some good choices for you.The Harry Potter SeriesIf you’re a grown-up and still haven’t read the Harry Potter novels, you don’t know what you’re missing. J.K. Rowling’s tale of the English boy wizard shouldn’t be missed. As he grows into a confident teen, Harry struggles with the same issues all peers (同龄人) face: the pressure to fit in, anxiety and stress over grades and homework.His Dark MaterialsAdults will find this award-winning trilogy (三部曲) fascinating as they follow the adventures of Lyra and Will, two children who travel through the universe that is quite different from our own. Even though it9s targeted at children, the series’ complex themes related to morality, identity, and fate will attract readers of every age.Roll of Thunder, Hear My CryAs the second in a series of four books about the Logan family, this novel follows the leading role, Cassie Logan, a 9-year-old girl and her family. They struggle to keep their land while fighting against varying degrees of racism from the white townspeople. Cassie is both brave and innocent; hence, adults can benefit from Cassie’s perspective on what it’s like to be a child living in a racially oppressed environment.The Hunger Games TrilogyIf you have a young reader in your house, chances are that you’ve heard of The Hunger Games. This trilogy by Suzanne Collins is set in thepost-apocalyptic (后末世）country of Panem, where children are selected annually to participate in a televised, fight-to-the-death battle called The Hunger Games. The rebellion (反抗）inspired by the sharp and spirited hero, Katniss Everdeen, will attract readers of all ages.1.What does the author think of The Harry Potter Series?A.Adults will find it a bit too childish.B.It’s not easy for teenagers to relate to it.C.It can make young readers less confident.D.It deals with some common issues of teenagers.2.From the passage, we know His Dark Materials _________.A.is not a science fiction seriesB.is too difficult for childrenC.has very deep themesD.tells mainly about the magic world3.To learn about race relations, which book will you read?A.His Dark Materials.B.The Harry Potter Series.C.The Hunger Games Trilogy.D.Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.4.What do we learn about the books?A.They’re all suitable for adults.B.They are all mainly to teach a lesson.C.They all deal with issues most peers face.D.They were all mainly written for adults.BChris Home has written an article about his experience of the 11 plus system. He failed the exam, but then went on to prove that his actual academic abilities were very strong and not honestly reflected by the cruel 11 plus system. Pass the 11 plus and you are likely to go to a Grammar School; fail and you go to a Secondary School. He argues that most people who have failed the 11 plus found it very hard to appeal against the failure since they would be ignored by the Grammar Schools who had plenty of pupils who had passed to choose from. If you did not perform well on the day, that was it!There is a claim that Grammar Schools increase social mobility (社会阶层的变动）— I would guess that it is an argument most often put forward by those who went to Grammar Schools. Social mobility means that even if you are born poor, you can still get into Grammar Schools like wealthy children. However, it is not so.The Sutton Trust published 2013 research that shows less than 3% of pupils at Grammar Schools are on free school meals — free school meals is a measure to judge social mobility. This indicates that if you are from a poor family, you are far less likely to get into a Grammar School and that there is little evidence of actual social mobility in Grammar School areas.Big surprise — I didn’t pass the 11 plus. I went to a failing secondary school in Bedale North Yorkshire — a school full of failing pupils. Judged by the latest Ofsted Report, it needs “improvement”. I went onto taking evening classes and passed GCSE’s at O and A level and eventually a 2.1 B.Sc in Psychology with the OU. I am not an academic genius but not the “write off” suggested by the 11 plus exam system.What the 11 plus system means to me is that we didn’t care enough about our young people and their futures because we were prepared to select a few on the basis of a life-changing exam on one day and to ignore the rest.5.What does passing the 11 plus exam mean?A.Proving the strong academic abilities of students.B.Being admitted into a Grammar School.C.Having a chance to enter a Grammar school.D.Fighting against failures easily.6.What does Chris Honie want to show about the 11 plus exam in his article?A.It’s too difficult.B. It’s not fair to all students.C. It has a long history.D. It’s not that important.7.What’s the author’s attitude toward that Grammar Schools’ increasing social mobility?A.Doubtful.B. Hopeful.C. Concerned.D. Approving.8.What does the author’s own story tell us?A.Failing to pass the 11 plus exam is a disaster.B.One can succeed as long as he tries hard enough.C.Failing the 11 plus means you’ve to try much harder.D.Failing the 11 plus doesn’t always mean poor academic abilities.CIf you want to skip the misery (痛苦) that comes with fighting a seasonal cold or flu, a new research explains why sleep is some of the best preventive medicine. We already knew that not getting enough sleep can lead to an increased risk of getting sick, but Nathaniel Watson, a neurologist and sleep specialist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, said this new research helps explain why.Sleeping poorly can block specific genetic processes in the cells that make up your immune system, which is responsible for fighting off infections and diseases, according to the new study. “Your immune system is not functioning the way it was meant to when you are deprived of sleep,” Watson said. This study is the first one that Watson and his colleagues are aware of that looks at what happens to the immune system’s DNA when you’re not getting adequate sleep.The researchers followed 11 pairs of identical twins for the study. One twin reported sleeping at least seven hours per night, while the other slept approximately one hour less per night. Looking at identical twins helped control the fact that sleep needs vary by person, Watson explained. Genes account for about 50 percent of our sleep needs, meaning identical twins are the best-case scenario (方案) for getting a good comparison.The researchers took blood samples at the end of the study, which revealed that the immune system of the twin who slept less was less active than the twin who slept more. Those who slept less were actually making fewer proteins, the molecules that our bodies run on. “They had an under-performing immune system,” Watson said of the shorter sleepers, “which would put them at higher risk of getting sick.”To control other potential factors that could affect sleep need and immune health, the researchers excluded people from the study who had diabetes, depression or other mental health problems and sleep disorders. They also left out shift workers, smokers, drug users and drinkers.9.What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change sleep pattern.B.Benefit from sleep.C.Have to sleep.ck sleep.10.Why did the researchers choose identical twins for the study?A.To find participants more easily.B.To make the results more accurate.C.To make the study more interesting.D.To show sleep needs vary by person.11.What does the author most probably want to show in the last paragraph?A.Many factors can lead to sleep disorder.B.The findings of the study can be reliable.C.Poor sleep could lead to many problems.D.The findings of the study remain to be tested.DLiving in a technological era, we have access to the news more than ever before. There are television sets, magazine covers, Internet blogs, and movies screaming to be read and watched, and there are images of celebrities (公众人物) everywhere. Now, we are faced with a question: What are the effects that superstars have on our youth?Based on a recent survey, 40% of nine and ten year-olds had tried losing weight and at age thirteen, 53% of girls were unhappy with their image. With celebrities creating impossible standards of beauty, more and more young adults are feeling less confident, angrier, and more dissatisfied with their looks. Now, this cannot all be blamed on the media, but with celebrities becoming thinner and thinner, much self-confidence is lost and images of television stars or models have been connected to body displeasure.Two in every three parents feel that their children are being exposed to too much inappropriate content in the media. Since many parents work and are not always at home, kids have access to shows, movies, and the Internet blogs that can tell them things that should be left for parents to explain. There is no possible way to end this media frenzy (疯狂)，but experts say that attentive parents, strong teachers and nice friends are an excellent counterbalance (平衡力）to pop culture garbage.Celebrities do not only have a negative impact on the looks and personalities of fans, but also on their health. With famous movie stars lighting up their cigarettes on screen, there has to be some effect on their admirers. 88% to 92% of the top twenty-five box office hits since 1995 have contained tobaccouse. Pop culture celebrities need to support a drug free program instead of using harmful substances. Programs like Above the Influence, run by the Office of National Drug Protection, use the media for good purposes.Celebrities need to change the way they act and how they are viewed. Their actions have more of an effect on us than many people believe they have. Thin, addicted celebrities are changing the way many young fans think and act.12.What can we learn from the recent survey?A.Many young kids are overweight now.B.Celebrities are popular among the youth.C.Celebrities have a bad effect on the youth.D.Young kids are more likely to be concerned about their looks.13.Which of the following will the writer most probably agree to?A.Technology does much harm to people.B.The inappropriate content will be deleted.C.It is urgent for stars to change horrible habits.D.Most celebrities have good influence on people.14.How is the passage organized?A.Topic—argument—conclusion.B.Opinion—discussion—explanation.C.Topic—supporting example—description.D.Main idea—comparison—supporting example.15.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to avoid being affected by celebrities.B.How to make celebrities behave positively.C.Celebrities in technological era.D.Celebrities and their influence on youth.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。
