First Novel Award Winner
Book: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Author: Gail Honeyman
Eleanor is 31 years old; work finishes on a Friday and begins again on a Monday. Between, her only company will be two bottles of vodka and her own solitary, unique wit (机智).

Challenging reader expectations with a living, breathing character, Gail Honeyman’s debut is a funny and moving diamond.

Author: Rebecca Stott
The Exclusive Brethren were a closed community who believed the world is ruled by Satan. Into this is born Rebecca. Her father had been an influential Brethren Minister.

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep,
there would be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs. Stanly talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
24. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?
A. He was talking fast
B. He was shocked C. He was in a hurry D. He was absent-minded
25. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to paragraph 3?
A. He enjoyed the drink B. He wanted to be helpful
C. He took the chance to rest D. He tried to please his dad
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?
A. recover from her sadness
B. move out of the neighborhood
C. turn to her old friends
D. speak out about her past
27. What does the author think people in a community should do?
A. Open up to others
B. Depend on each other C. Pay for others’ help D. Care about one another
C
Bigger isn’t always better. People who are skeptical about this argument just need to look at personal computers. It is the continual shrinkage of components that have brought about the explosion of computing power and enabled these computers to be accessible to people across the world.
Inspired by this, researchers have been working on areas where making things small may mean big results. And this year, the Nobel Prize has challenged the convention of celebrating big by presenting the biggest prizes to discoveries on the smallest scales.
The committee presented the Nobel Prize for medicine to Yoshinori Ohsumi of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, for his research on “autophagy”, which is a “self-eating” process seen in cells.
What’s more, in recognition of their working on the unique nature of matter in extreme states and taking their research all the way down to an atomic scale, the Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to three British-born scientists who presently work in the US.
Another exceptional new field is that of nanotechnology（纳米技术）. The Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to a scientist who managed to build the world’s tiniest machines out of molecules（分子）, including a nano-sized car, which are so small that they are not seen by the
human eye.
Small as the subjects are, the benefits of the scientists’ research are set to be huge. More importantly, their inventions may even eventually be turned into products that benefit mankind.
Ohsumi’s research on “autophagy” shines a light on common diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes. As for the molecular motors, they’re preparing to bring huge potential to the fields of medicine and energy. “The ground-breaking discoveries in physics have lighted a firestorm of research, and it’s only a matter of time before their research leads to advances as unimaginable to us now as computer chips were a hundred years ago,” Laura H. Greene, president-elect of the American Physical Society told The New York Times.
28. The underlined word “shrinkage” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. reducing the size B. cutting down the cost
C. improving the quality D. strengthening the function
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Nano-sized cars are now popular all over the world.
B. Ohsumi's research has helped cure some common diseases.
C. Three scientists have made a great breakthrough in atomic energy.
D. The Nobel Prize used to have a preference for findings on big scales.
30. What is Laura H. Greene’s attitude to the new discoveries in physics?
A. Positive B. Doubtful C. Reserved D. Concerned.
31. What is the message the passage conveys?
A. Great minds think alike.
B. Small things make a big difference.
C. Many small streams make a great river.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D
If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.
One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What’s more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.
Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice
between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.
32. Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?
A. A faster pace of learning B. Being guided by subject experts
C. A wider range of ways to gain knowledge D. Having more chances of getting part-time jobs.
33. To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should .
A. choose self-education B. enter an educational institution
C. work for learned teachers D. make use of webpages about education
34. What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?
A. The reputation of educational institutions. B. The knowledge of teachers and experts.
C. The opinions of relatives and friends. D. One’s preference and situations
35. What the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To promote a webpage about education.
B. To prove that self-education is the best choice.
C. To help readers choose between two form of education.
D. To prove that it’s difficult to decide on the proper education.
第一节 （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。
There are more and more options on the market to make your life easier when going green. 36 . Here, let’s take a look at the well-known options available for green house building.
Location Is Still Everything
Avoid building a west-facing house as the sun-exposure may overheat your home and lead to major air-conditioning electricity bills. Besides, do your research into any flood risk areas, hurricane or earthquake potentials within your chosen area. 37 .
Keep Its Size Appropriate
Right-sizing a home reduces its environmental impact. Compared with a larger green house, smaller homes always come up as more environmentally friendly. 38 . It means being conscious about what space is necessary and appropriate.
Play It Cool With That Roof
Scientists have discovered that similar to how wearing white on a summer’s day keeps you cool, painting your roof with a reflective coat keeps your home cooler and saves on air-conditioning bills! 39 .
Water is King
Water is one of the scarcest resources on our planet, building your house is an important opportunity to prevent water wastage through fixtures and appliances which save water. Think low flow faucet devices and Energy Star rated products.
Building a green home will not only save you money in the long run, it is also a thoroughly rewarding opportunity to ensure you’re contributing to our world’s sustainability. 40 . A vast range of suggestions are also available to make your life easier when going green, so get involved and enjoy it!
A. Townhomes come in all shapes and sizes
B. A simple coating could bring down that heat by 50 degrees
C. There are excellent resources out there for green home building
D. There are motivations for engaging in green home building certification
E. Nevertheless, you don’t necessarily need to resign yourself to a cupboard under the stairs
F. Also, do keep aware of local transport links and public transport options when building your house
G. Growing research shows that the choice of greener buildings is becoming more mainstream and less of an alternative choice

Dear Mike,
I’m Li Hua. Knowing that you are coming to China and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here, I’m writing to give you some information about it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th (day) of the eighth lunar month. It is a time for family reunion and harvest celebration. Families gather together and give thanks for successful harvests and harmonious unions.
There are many traditions associated with the festival, with eating moon cakes and enjoying the full moon together being the highlight. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, family members sit together and share moon cakes, talking and laughing.
I’m sure you will like our traditional Mid-Autumn Festival and I wish you a pleasant journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
