Here are some works of writers who got famous by just one book.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
It was written in just 3 weeks and released in 1890 in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine and it
brought an enormous amount of reputation to the author instantly. After the publication of the novel,
a huge popular anger erupted in society. People called it immoral and tried to ban it. But the book
turned out to be the most successful novel of the playwright (剧作家) Oscar Wilde.
Winnie-the-Pooh
Alan Milne was quite a famous playwright before releasing the stories about Winnie-the-Pooh.
But the success of the book became so big that all of his other works went far into the shadows.
Milne didn’t like that he was considered a children’s writer. As sad as it might sound, his works for
kids turned out to be like Frankenstein’s monster: the creature that swallowed its creator.
The Catcher in the Rye
In 1940s, Salinger gained a reputation of a skillful novelist. However, the author faced real
success after he released his novel The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. The book, written about a 17-
year-old teenager, experienced popularity and earned the love of readers all around the world.
Surprisingly, the author forbade ( 禁 止 ) any adaptations of the book into movies or theatrical
performances.
Wuthering Heights
Unlike her sister, Charlotte, poet Emily Brontë only wrote one novel. It was published in 1847
and stayed almost unnoticed during the author’s life. The novel got universal recognition in the late
19th century and took a strong place in English literature. The novel has been screened many times in
the 20th century.
21. What do Oscar Wilde and Alan Milne have in common?
A. They were both playwrights. B. They were good at writing essays.
C. They got famous for kids’ books. D. They were not recognized at first.
22. What can we know about The Catcher in the Rye?
A. It was Salinger’s only one novel. B. It can’t be made into movies.
C. It enjoyed popularity mainly in the US. D. It was written specially for teenagers.
23. Which of the following became famous long after its publication?
A. The Picture of Dorian Gray. B. Winnie-the-Pooh.
C. The Catcher in the Rye. D. Wuthering Heights.

A few years ago, Liza and John moved from Yorkshire down to Coventry when it was just the
two of them. Soon enough their first child, Henry, came along and they soon realized they were about
to outgrow their current small house. They needed a home with more space to keep up with their
growing family and to give their children a better upbringing (抚育), especially safe enough to live.
Being able to buy a big house within the competitive Coventry housing market would be a
challenge. The pair searched for their new home for almost four years. Tired, Liza and John weren’t
so sure they would be so lucky. Yet nothing had shaken Liza, who believed she would give her
children a better place though. Eventually however, Liza took a chance and went to see a house and
immediately fell in love with the place. She felt it could be the perfect move for them and told her
husband that night. It really did tick all the boxes for them.
She loved the fact that the house had a beautiful enclosed garden and she could picture the
children running around and playing in the safe space in particular. After John also found himself
smitten with the house, he and Liza realized that throughout the house-hunting process things always
happen for a reason — treasuring a hope to life and keeping going is so important.
Since moving in, the couple have both been able to develop their hobbies more. Liza loves
playing the piano and now has the space to work on her passion, while John has changed their
separate “secret” attic room, using it for all of his James Bond memorabilia (纪念品). Meanwhile,
the pair have even managed to keep a connection to their beloved old home by selling the house to
close friends of theirs.
24. What was Liza concerned about most when finding a new home?
A. The price of the house. B. The scenery around the house.
C. The safety of their children. D. The location of the house.
25. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. The house met all their needs. B. Liza was upset in finding the house.
C. They can’t afford the house. D. The house has a beautiful garden.
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “smitten” in paragraph 3?
A. Concerned. B. Familiar. C. Puzzled. D. Fascinated.
27. What made the pair keep looking for a house?
A. Comfort and convenience of the life in the city.
B. Funding and support from their old friends.
C. Preference and interest in better education.
D. Determination and hope in building a better home.
C
Many people dream of seeing things in the dark. Now their dream comes true. According to a
press release from The Australian National University, by wearing a pair of glasses, you can drive
safely at night, walk home in the dark, or explore dark forests and caves without holding a flashlight!
The technology is composed of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular
glasses. Compared to traditional night vision devices, it is inexpensive to make, easy to mass-
produce, and lightweight. The thin film is made of nanometer-level substances that are hundreds of
times thinner than a human hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive.
“Our technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光) into images,” lead researcher Dr.
Rocio Camacho Morales said in the press release.
Over the years scientists have studied animals active at night by using infrared cameras, and
infrared imaging has been used for body scans in the medical world and for food quality control in
the industrial world. Conventional infrared imaging devices work by detecting the heat of an object.
The infrared detectors use a cooler and are also sensitive to thermal noise ( 热噪声). Such
disadvantages led the team into exploring an improved device.
Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is not large or
heavy like previous technologies. Once this new night vision device is available to all, it could save
lives. Drivers will be able to find their way better at night, especially when driving on rough roads.
Police can use it when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident
walking in the dark.
28. How does the author explain the new technology’s advantages in paragraph 2?
A. By providing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By presenting experiments. D. By making comparisons.
29. What can we know about the new technology?
A. It will replace all the conventional devices.
B. It is sensitive to thermal noise.
C. It takes advantage of nanometer-level substances.
D. It uses a cooler to function at room temperature.
30. Who rarely uses conventional infrared imaging?
A. Doctors. B. Drivers. C. Scientists. D. Companies.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on about the new technology?
A. Its practical applications. B. Its potential consumers.
C. Its future improvements. D. Its working conditions.
D
It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles, which take hundreds of years to rot, are harmful to
our environment. However, efforts by environmentalists to encourage consumers to switch to
alternatives, like water fountains or reusable bottles, have not been very effective. The U.S. alone
uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up in landfills.
To try to stop that, Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche from the
Imperial College London have been working on a revolutionary solution — water wrapped inside an
eatable container made mostly from seaweed. All the customer has to do to relieve his/her thirst is
pop the entire drop into the mouth.
The inventors, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step
cooking process called spherification (球化) to create the delicate container. They begin by dipping a
frozen ball of water or juice into a chemical solution ( 溶 液 ). This helps form a layer around the
liquid. The ball is then absorbed in a solution made from seaweed extract. This creates a second
layer, helping strengthen the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving
our environment, the biodegradable ( 可 降 解 的 ) packaging costs just two cents each, making it
cheaper to produce than plastic.
After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over 1 million USD
from a financial activity, are ready to bring the Ooho bubble to local market. However, there are a
few challenges that still need to be overcome before the product’s launch. In addition to getting
accustomed to the taste of the covering, each eatable container contains just a mouthful of water,
requiring consumers to drink multiple bubbles to relieve their thirst. There is also the issue of finding
an eco-friendly packaging to transport the bubbles so that they remain clean and do not burst.
Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that we can reduce, or perhaps even
remove, plastic bottles.
32. Why was the Ooho bubble created?
A. To test a newly-designed material. B. To change consumers’ drinking habit.
C. To reduce pollution caused by plastic. D. To take a share of drinking water industry.
33. What will the inventors probably do next?
A. Solve some specific problems of the product. B. Collect more money to expand production.
C. Distribute the Ooho bubble to global market. D. Advertise the advantages of the Ooho bubble.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ooho bubble’s launch?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Opposed.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Work out a New Kind of Water
B. Plastic Bottles Will Be Replaced by the Ooho Bubble
C. Environmental Pollution is Expected to Be Solved
D. The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles
第二节 （共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多
余选项。
Are there too many books you’re never going to read again on your bookshelf? Whether to start
a little library with your book pals or to offer them as gifts to the younger ones is a good deed to do.
36
Donating your old books is a painless way to give. 3 7 It’ll arrange an offline book fair near
your place if booked online, and in most cases it will fetch the books from you. Books2Africa
accepts new and used books in English, French and any African language.
3 8 Most of them work in much the same way: you enter your book’s bar code (条形码) or
ISBN number, and they’ll tell you its value. You post your books, and they offer payment. Or you can
try checking how much your copy is worth on Abe Books. It’s worth remembering that books don’t
have to be particularly old to be valuable. 3 9
For something a bit more community-driven, try joining a book exchange. BookMooch works
on a points system: you receive a point for each book you mail to someone else, which you can then
“spend” on someone else’s book. 40 BookCrossing is the act of releasing your books “into the
wild”, aiming to connect people through literature.
