2、op reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahls writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matildas battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening，but

3、theyre also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami Its about two sistersEri, a model who either wont or cant stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hidingsecrets. Gone Girl G

4、illian Flynn There was a bit of me that didnt want to love this when everyone else on the planet did，but the horror story is brilliant.Theres tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.Its a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise whats going on is horrib

5、ly enjoyable. The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the worlds population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. 21Who

DThe Stand. 23What kind of book is Gone Girl? AA folk tale. BA horror story. CA love story. D A biography. B It is often sai

7、d that Western Europeans speak English. From traveling all through Europe, I know that this is not entirely true. Some regions of Europe have a 90% of English speaking rate, while in other parts, English is generally a tongue which is impossible to understand. The divide, it seems, lies with the Rom

8、ance languages. In Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the rest of the Western European non-Romance language speaking regions, English seems to be understood and spoken just like the peoples first tongue. In Iceland, I have never experienced English was spoken so well and so widely b

9、y a non-native speaking country. And I have almost never met a Dutch person who did not speak English almost as well as my countrymen. But when you move to the south of Western Europe a little, something happens. English becomes a less useful language for traveling. You just cross over the Romance l

10、anguage barrier (障碍) and into Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy, where English is spoken at a rate that does not seem to be much higher than in China, Latin America, or Southeast Asia. Traveling through Europe and working in hotels around the world that are popular with Europeans have given me a de

11、eper view of their usage of foreign languages. The northern Europeans can often speak five or six languages, while the Romance speakers hardly know more than their birth tongue. And if you think that Spanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other, I tell you that th

12、is is completely wrong. Spaniards and Italians dont even understand each other. It is also not a fact that people from both of these countries can communicate in French; only those who put a large amount of effort into learning English or have lived abroad for years can speak English well. People of

13、ten say that French people really understand English but refuse to speak it, but from watching hundreds of French travelers over the years struggle with English abroad as well as friends in France trying in vain (徒劳无益) to communicate with me, I know that this is not true. English is simply not widel

14、y spoken there outside the large cities. 24What can we learn from the passage? AIn Iceland, English is not spoken very well. BA Dutch person can almost speak English as well as the author himself. CSpanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other easily. DEnglish is a

15、s widely spoken as French in France. 25The author is probably a(n) _. AAmerican BDutchman C Frenchman DChinese 26What does “this” in the last paragraph mean? AWestern Europeans speak English. BFrench people really understand English but refuse to speak it. CHundreds of French travelers struggle with

16、 English abroad. DFriends in France try in vain to communicate with me in English. 27Where is the passage most probably taken from? AA geography textbook. BA fashion magazine. CA travel journal. DA news report. C People in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an in

17、creasing number of old people living alone. Japan is on a fast track to “ultra-age” with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2019；it was 26.7 percent in 2017. On the other hand, the number of births in 2019 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records beg

18、an in 1899. Demand for care services for elderly people has increased. A shrinking (缩小) working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. State-provided facilities for the elderly are not enough, which causes elderly people to turn to private ones but they ar

19、e expensive. The country will be short of 380,000 of health nurses by 2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotion

20、al support to the elderly. Japan provides a case study for China, which is also faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2019, about 630,000 fewer than in 2018. People aged 60 accounted for 17.3 of Chinas population in 2019. With a shortage of elderly care facil

21、ities and unbalanced supply, China may find it hard to deal with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens. To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging

22、population is sending and take proper and timely action. 28. What do we learn about the old Japanese? A. More and more old Japanese prefer to live on their own. B.

26、om my previous school were two girls, Donna Davis and Sakjinda Rai, but I developed little friendship with them.At first I was scared (害怕的) and looked stupid.But after a few months, I tried keeping my arms open and making friends with people around me.
