【题目】 By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 4 best books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.
Disappearing Earth
By Julia Phillips
In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.
No Visible Bruises
By Rachel Louise Snyder
Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.
Midnight in Chernobyl
By Adam Higginbotham
Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing disaster.
Exhalation
By Ted Chiang
Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.
【1】Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?
A.Disappearing EarthB.No Visible Bruises
C.Midnight in ChernobylD.Exhalation
【2】How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?
A.Delighted.B.Awkward.
C.Tense.D.Calm.
【3】What kind of book is Exhalation?
A.A folk tale.B.A biography.
C.A love story.D.A sci-fi story.

The other day we take our school bus to the nearby nursing home. The elderly people greeted us warm and they were really very pleasing to see us. There we did a lot things. We told many interesting stories to them or sang and danced for them and we really had a fun. Around 11 o’clock in the morning they returned to the school. As student, we are very fond of the activity. It’s our duty to helping the elderly people, in my opinion. How a meaningful trip it was! We’ll never forget it.

【题目】 The other day on a cold night, I left my wife and drove from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 100 miles. It was rather late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
【1】How does the author feel about the truck driver?
A.Pleased.B.Satisfied.C.Sorry.D.Annoyed.
【2】What can we infer about the author?
A.He hates driving at night.B.He desired to cross the red light that night.
C.He approves of obeying traffic rules by himself.D.He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.
【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word “inclination” in paragraph 5?
A.Tendency.B.Faith.
C.Adjustment.D.Guidance.
【4】What’s the message the author tries to convey?
A.Politeness matters.B.Hold belief in human nature.
C.People should be patient and helpful.D.There’s a need to improve traffic rules.
