So you want to figure out who moved your cheese, or just learn some spiritual laws of success.
Whatever’s standing between you and happiness, chances are that someone’s written a self-help book
about it. Here’s what they say.
Book 1: Self Help by Samuel Smiles
Back in Victorian England, the aptly-named Samuel Smiles wrote the first self-help book. Smiles
told his readers that there’s no quick fix, and the harder you worked, the happier you would be.

see it, remember people’s names, and develop a firm handshake.
Book 3: The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
In the 1950s, minister Norman Vincent Peale brought God into the equation (平等、等式) with
his message that faith is the key to achieving anything. His message? Pray, visualize ( 形 象 化 )
solutions, and remove self-doubt.

A young Jewish girl begins a diary just as World War II is about to break out in Europe. She
records the details of her daily life, but more than that. Eventually, the diary comes to a heartbreaking
end with the girl shot to death by the Nazis. However, it’s not the story of Anne Frank. This is Renia’s
Diary, a journal that was hidden for years in a safe box. Now it’s coming to light with the help of
Renia’s sister and niece.
For a long time, Elizabeth didn’t even know that her older sister Renia had kept a diary as a
teenager in Poland. Then suddenly one day in the 50s, Elizabeth got the diary and started to read it.
She was totally stunned and couldn’t get very far. “It was too painful to read it,” Elizabeth recalls. “I
just put it in the basement and didn’t think about it.”
Alexandra, Elizabeth’s daughter, grew up knowing about the locked diary. As Alexandra got
older, she was more interested in it. “If I could read this diary, maybe I’ll explore some things from
the past,” she thought.
She got the diary from its hiding place. When she read it, Alexandra was shocked. “It’s the
description of a wonderful girl who showed great courage in terrible times. My aunt’s world comes to
life as the diary shifts between a teenage girl’s daily life and the war.”
Elizabeth and her daughter Alexandra are excited that the diary will be published. “It is a story
that needs to be heard now more than ever. We should never repeat the same types of racism(种族主
义) and hate that lead to violence,” Alexandra says.
4. Why was Renia’s Dairy unknown to the world for so many years?高二英语 （第 3 页 共 10 页）

Many scientists are now exploring the idea of going to live on Mars. Some other scientists from
the NASA’s Ames Research Centre have already started the creation of a “Mars town” and many
others are in fact already experimenting with it. Of course, these experiments are done on the Earth
itself but this “Mars town” has an environment practically like that of Mars.
The astronauts working in these towns wear their space-suit and also do everything they would
really have to carry out if they ever go to Mars in the future.
But Mars would be like the Earth, a temporary (暂时的) place for humans. When the sun starts
swallowing up the planets, Mars will disappear only hours after the Earth. So Mars only seems to be
the ideal place to spread the human beings. It is also a good location to send humans if ever there is a
disaster on the Earth. By saying disasters, I mean asteroids(小行星) hitting and things like that.
If we humans do not want to disappear when the Earth or Mars gets swallowed up, we will have
to go and live beyond the solar system. But are there any planets outside our solar system prepared to
support life? Astronomers’ answer is:
“If the Earth can support life, why can’t other planets do the same too? Astronomers have already高二英语 （第 4 页 共 10 页）
discovered a Jupiter-like planet orbiting (绕轨道运动) a sun-like star, so why not an Earth-like planet
orbiting a sun-like star next?”
To achieve this goal though, many other problems have to be taken into consideration. How do
we transform a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less like our Earth? How should we go on?
There is still a long way to go.
8.The “Mars town” mentioned in the passage is .
A. a research base on Mars
B. a strange place found on Mars
C. an experimental lab built on the Earth
D. a town existing in scientists’ imagination
9. Why would Mars only be a temporary place for humans?
A. It is too small to admit so many human beings.
B. It lacks enough natural resources humans need.
C. It would disappear when the Earth disappeared.
D. It has more natural disasters like asteroids hitting.
10.We can know from the passage that astronomers probably think .
A. it is impossible to transport humans to other planets
B. there may be an Earth-like planet outside the solar system
C. humans will move to the newly-found Jupiter-like planet
D. there’s no need for humans to move beyond the solar system
11.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The “Mars town” B. Explore space
C. The future of the Earth D. Where to live in the future
D
“Fast fashion” means clothes which are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason
for the success of fast fashion is the rise of the social media. A report by the investment research firm
Bernstein found that Millennials—people born in the 1980s and 90s—wanted to wear a variety of
clothes in the photos they posted on social media. As a result, many businesses which offer trendy and
low-cost clothes are growing.
But the situation is changing now. Maxine, a woman in her early thirties, looks in her closet full高二英语 （第 5 页 共 10 页）
of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style.
Instead, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. “Other people want the same
thing,” she says.
So Maxine and a business partner, Soraya, started a “slow fashion” clothing company called
Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They often feature classic colours and
shapes, and are made from natural materials.
The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food ” and “slow food”: fast food
is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer high-quality, more expensive and
relaxed meals.
Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and
workers. Maxine says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who
is making them. To answer Millennials’ demand for information about the products they buy, Ms
Maxine’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process
in which the clothes are made. Maxine says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from,
where they go, and how they impact the world.
The international business H&M is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has
created a recycling programme for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M
stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesman says, “We have a clear
vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”
12. About Millennials, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Most of them are in their twenties or thirties.
B. They are crazy about fashionable and cheap clothes.
C. They contributed a lot to the rise of fast fashion.
D. They may have a taste for clothes of classic colours and shapes now.
13. “Slow food” is mentioned in the passage to tell us .
A. it is healthier than fast food
B. why fast food is so popular in the US
C. it is a kind of slow fashion
D. why slow fashion comes now
14. What can we learn about the programme of H&M in the last paragraph?高二英语 （第 6 页 共 10 页）
A. It can benefit the environment.
B. The company only sells clothes made of recycling materials.
C. Customers may receive a discount if they buy some outdated clothes.
D. It will take the lead in the latest fashion.
15. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Fast fashion, good or bad
B. Slow fashion is in fashion
C. Fast food or slow food
D. What is out of fashion

adults in Hungary and Norway，it is about 7%.In Spain and the United Kingdom，sugar makes up as
much as 17% of adults' diets.
Kieran Clarke，scientist of the University of Oxford，said，“__19__ Even if you are not eating
lollies (棒棒糖) and candy，you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.”
But Clarke also notes that for those people who can't shake their love for sweets，getting more
exercise is a good solution.She said，“__20__But it's very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless
all you're eating is fruits and vegetables.”
