Matthew Kneale is the award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction, including English
passengers, which won the Whitbread Book Award. He shares the books that have changed his
life. The adventures of Tintin by Hergé
As a child I loved the Tintin books—for their adventures, their characters and their stylish
illustrations. Though Hergé visited almost none of the faraway places he drew, he captured (捕捉)
them perfectly. His images, whether of Peru, Arabia, India or China, stayed with me and later,
when I became a keen traveler, Tintin’s destinations were the places that I most wanted to reach. I
never saw them all, needless to say, but I got to quite a few.
Stig of the Dump by Clive King
This was another book I loved as a child — the story of a boy who is bored staying with his
grandparents, when he runs into Stig, a friendly Stone Age man. When my father read it to my
sister and me, I was already fascinated by history and I loved the way the book captured the
mystery of our distant, unrecorded past. Its charm stayed with me and much later I spent many a
weekend driving around Britain, getting lost on small country roads, looking for prehistoric tombs
and stone circles. There’s something breathtaking about these places, which are often in
extraordinary locations.
I Claudius / Claudius the God by Robert Graves
When I first saw Rome, aged eight, I was amazed by the city's layers of history and this same
magic led me to come and live here, 20 years ago. I first read I Claudius as a teenager and was
attracted by the story of friendly, stammering, ridiculed Claudius, who grows up in the vipers' nest
of Rome’s imperial family and who, against all the odds, as his relatives destroy one another,
survives and rises. Graves, a fine scholar, has a talent for making the past spring to life, in all its
nastiness and wonder. In my own writing, fiction and non-fiction, I've tried to follow his example
—to make history shocked, as it should do.
21. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Rich travel experience shaped Herge.
B. Stig of the Dump is adapted from a true story.
C. Mattew showed great interest in history as a child.
D. The close family relationship helped Claudius' growth.
22. Why does matthew share the three books?
A. Because they manage to bring the past back to life.
B. Because they are great representatives of non- fictions.
C. Because they are known for their stylish illustrations.
D. Because they make a great difference to Matthew's life.
23. Where can we probably find the passage?
A. In a magazine. B. In a history book.
C. In a travel brochure. D. In an advertisement.
B
The Royal Ballet is to stage a performance featuring a disabled dancer, recognizing that being
inclusive (包容) is “not just about diversity of race, but also about diversity of physical ability”.
Joe Powell—Main, who uses a wheelchair and sticks to perform, tells a story about
overcoming life’s obstacles to pursue a dream that he has had since he was five. Having danced
from the age of four, he won a place at the famous Royal Ballet School (RBS), even performing as
a student in a Royal Ballet staging of The Nutcracker—only to see his hopes of becoming a
professional dancer hit by a condition that affected his mobility.
During his fourth year of training, he developed injuries following a period of growth,
leading to surgery on his left knee. Complications ( 并发症) developed and a serious car accident
took a further toll on his body, bringing his training to an end. Aged 15, he was using a wheelchair
and assumed he would never dance again.
But his life was transformed after his mother spotted a leaflet about wheelchair dancing,
which played a part in helping him to accept his disability. Powell-Main recalled, “When I
acquired my disability, I completely thought dance wasn't an option for me and was completely
over. Then why not ballet? In terms of partnering, it's a new way of doing things.”
He took part in the Royal Ballet's platform Draft Works, which has now been extended and
he’ll perform it as a 10-minute duet (双人舞) with Lubach.“Powell-Main made an impression on
me. Dancing with him was really special, which has opened up refreshing possibilities, new ways
of partnering, sharing weight between each other, using speed and dynamic in different ways,”
Lubach said.
Emma Southworth, the Royal Ballet's creative producer, said, “If someone has a wheelchair,
what are the possibilities of moving in a wheelchair? If the stick becomes the extension of the arm,
what does that mean? If we're really being properly inclusive, we've got to look at how we work
with disabled performers.”
24. What was a turning point in Powell-Main's life?
A. A serious car accident. B. The surgery on his left knee.
C. A leaflet about wheelchair dancing. D. The performance in The Nutcracker.
25. What does the underlined word “toll” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Step. B. Risk. C. Break. D. Damage.
26. What can we learn about Powell-Main?
A. He refused to submit to the fate despite his disability.
B. He has been suffering from the knee injuries since he was five.
C. He stood out in RBS due to his hard work and professional skills.
D. His dancing career was totally ruined by the unexpected car accident.
27. What might be the best title?
A. A special performance B. A life full of obstacles
C. A unique wheelchair dancer D. The Royal Ballet's rich diversity
C
Advanced technology brings with it a lot of benefits to us. You can now prevent the speech of
a single target person from being recorded by using a device called voice jammer.
Voice jammers work much like noise-cancelling headphones, which effectively remove
unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted
sound with is wave pattern inverted (反向的).
Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping ( 窃 听 ) on conversations by
broadcasting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot.
This can prevent nearby people's phones from picking up their voices if they try to make a
call, and can stop them interacting with smart assistants, warning that something strange is going
on.
Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer
that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else. They did this by
training an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate ( 隔 断 ) a speaker's voice,
