As the sixth What Kids Are Reading report bemoans （ 哀 叹 ） about a tendency among
secondary school students to read books that are too easy—suggesting that teachers and
librarians aren’t pushing challenging titles strongly enough to older kids—the organizers of
World Book Day have announced a list that might serve as a corrective, or at least a useful source
of ideas.
Satellite by Nick Lake
Leo was born in space, living all his life on space station Moon 2 with fellow2
space-children Libra and Orion. Now, at 15,he is almost due to go to Earth for the first time, but
more awaits him there. An extraordinary science fiction, as diverse as lain M Banks at his best.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
A standout debut （首次创作）, this US novel is the Black Lives Matter (BLM)-inspired
story of Starr Carter, whose friend Khalil is shot dead by a police officer as she watches and
whose divided life awakes in the fallout. Full of vivid detail and dry humour, with a charming
narrator, it reads like a typical text.
Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls
Nicholls’ exciting narrative follows May, the free-thinking daughter of a Quaker, and Nell,
the tough, capable mainstay of her poor family. As the ghost of war appears ever closer, what
will they sacrifice and what will be taken from them? An unforgettable historical novel.
The Book of Dust Vol 1:La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
Pullman’s long-awaited return to the world of His Dark Materials is, at times, dark indeed.
As Malcolm and Alice convey the baby Lyra down a flooded river in Malcolm’s boat, the
coming threats are fierce and frightening. To the reader absorbed in it, whatever their age, it
affords the enjoyment of watching a master storyteller at work.

B
John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days
spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To
many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where
he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.
Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell
me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my
memories of John buried in a child's imagination.
Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a
lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know
that the lady was John's daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which
had held such importance for her father.
In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy
told me of John's life, his days in the British Navy during World War I and how he almost lost
hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a
lifeboat with five others.
Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a
seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it
was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of John's life was
one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of
him until he died.
Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier
end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.
4. Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel .
A. proud B. worried C. curious D. guilty
5. The underlined word ''ritual" in the third paragraph can be replaced by .4
A. law B. tradition C. interest D. procedure
6. We can infer from the text that John .
A. once served in both World Wars B. was a man with a grateful heart
C. spent his childhood in Bangor D. joined the navy in the 1970s
7. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A. Her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.
B. The story of how she made friends with a lady.
C. Her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.
D. Her memories of a man who fed seagulls.
C
British parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family
tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.
Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical
achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs.
Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children
to follow suit.
This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said.
“Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as
developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class
families are often marked by a pattern of ‘concerted cultivation’, where parents organize
music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”
Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated
Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with
skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”
By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between what is
considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The
parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the
value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own5
right.
One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “We’ve got two
learning musical instruments. If we think it’s maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but
we wouldn't force them.” A housewife said, “My son’s just turned five and I want him to do the
guitar because his uncle does it, but it’s up to him.”
In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to
educational success, or at least secondary to it.”
8. What do British parents think of music learning?
A. Useful for job application. B. Worthwhile as a family tradition.
C. Helpful for character building. D. Beneficial to further education.
9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cultural practice. B. Educational success.
C. Concerted cultivation. D. School-based musical practice.
10. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The future of American kids is not promising.
B. American parents hardly link music with success.
C. British parents show little concern about education.
D. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Reasons for British music preference.
B. Americans’ attitude towards music learning.
C. British parenting style in music education.
D. Differences between British and American parents.

There is an unforgettable beauty to the Karoo, a vast semi-desert, that seems empty save for
the stars overhead and sheep eating grass below. Economic opportunities here are few.
But the Karoo’s clear skies also draw some of the world's best scientists. A radio telescope6
project called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is under construction, with the latest group of
64 giant antennae（天线）due to be completed late next year. When finished, it will be the biggest
radio telescope in the world and should allow scientists to peer into the origins of the universe.
Still, some sheep farmers are complaining. Because of the sensitivity of the telescope, the
surrounding area must be kept free from radio interference（干扰）caused by everything from
mobile phones to microwave ovens and some car engines. The SKA is buying up more farms
than originally expected to ensure radio silence over an area of some 130,000 hectares. There
will be no mobile phone signals allowed, except in the few towns in the area. Save the Karoo, an
advocacy group, isn’t convinced by the bright future of groundbreaking astronomical discoveries.
Its members fear the restrictions will make the Karoo “a cut-off and backward region”, and warn
that people serving farms near the SKA site could face financial ruin. “I don't care about a black
hole siting somewhere out in space,” says Eric Torr, an organiser with the group. “It does not put
food on the table.”
Sky-high expectations in this down-at-heel area are also a problem. An SKA official
complains that the locals expect the telescope to solve all their problems. Some jobs have been
created, but few locals have the skills to find out the secrets of distant galaxies. Until recently the
high school in Carnarvon, a nearby town, didn’t even have a maths and science teacher. The
SKA organisation hired one, and is also offering scholarship to college students. Perhaps if the
next generation's horizons are raised, they will be able to take advantage of the radio telescopes
in their own backyard.
12. The project SKA is aimed at .
A. creating jobs for locals B. exploring the universe
C. protecting the sheep D. saving the Karoo
13. What most disturbs the locals’ life?
A. The shrinking of their farmlands. B. Restrictions of radio signals.
C. The construction of the project. D. Noises of car engines.
14. What can be inferred from Eric’s words?7
A. Food should be put on the table. B. Eric faces financial difficulty.
C. The black hole is nowhere to be found. D. The project makes no sense to Eric.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Telescope in the Backyard B. Expectations of the Locals
C. Biggest Radio Telescope D. Great Astronomical Discovery

dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer,8

一篇完整的短文。
续写的词数应为 150 左右。
In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before
college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options: becoming a11
doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t
interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.
My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to
experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After
that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how
the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going
work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The
experience couldn’t have been more different. The hospital had an intense environment. The
days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties.
And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing
atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and
unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option
was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night
call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver
weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
Paragraph1: Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
Paragraph2: The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with
grateful smiles on their faces.
