    Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

    The winner in Culture critics’ survey is Junot Diaz’s first novel, about a bookworm called Oscar, who dreams of finding love. It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasy and imagination,” says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.

    Edward P. Jones, The Known World

    Set in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend——born a slave, now a slave-owner—The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.

    Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

    Mantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries(短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, “I have never felt so completely buried into a character’s mind, not to mention a long ago and far-away place.”

    Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

    Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of Robinson’s trilogy (along with Home and Lila). “I can’t think of a living novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which has become an almost forbidden topic in modern literature,” writes Dawn Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, “This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越), and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century—its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years.”

    1.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Oscar likes reading books. B. Townsend worked in a church.

    C. Rev John Ames likes farming. D. Thomas Gromwell won an Oscar Award.

    2.What does Mary Ann Gwinn think of the book “Wolf Hall”?

    A. She thinks it’s too dull. B. She doesn't like the character in the book.

    C. She thinks it’s fascinating. D. She doesn’t like some contents in the book.

    3.Which of the following books will have a far-reaching influence in the future?

    A. Gilead B. Wolf Hall

    C. The Known World D. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

    Just like rice and Noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds(葵花籽) would be so popular here. I found people having them while waiting for tables outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on tables during the Spring Festival holidays.

    I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent Survey has discovered that 64% of under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on a British website. In comparison(对比), 58.7% of young people snack in Germany, 53% in France, and only 40.7% in Spain.

    In Britain, we always looked forward to our favorite potato chips and chocolate bars after school. In U.S. One of things that I found the most wonderful when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge shelves just for snacks were bigger than some stores in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as in the UK.

    All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potato chips and chocolate. But eating these delicious snacks sometimes couldn’t be wrong, could it?

    1.What is the article mainly about?

    A. The most popular snack in China.

    B. Snacks in the UK and the US.

    C. Snacks young Western people like.

    D. Some tips for choosing snacks in the UK.

    2.According to the British Council, snacks are most popular among young people in_______.

    A. Britain B. Germany C. France D. Spain

    3.What surprised the author when he went to supermarkets in the US?

    A. How the snacks tasted.

    B. The size of the snacks’ packages.

    C. The lack of choice when it came to snacks.

    D. The large number of snacks.

    4.What does the author think of potato chips and chocolate?

    A. They don’t taste as good as sunflower seeds.

    B. They are unhealthy, so people should stop eating them.

    C. It’s better eat them with sandwiches and fruit.

    D. It’s fine to enjoy them sometimes although they are unhealthy.

    Most buildings are built to stand up straight, but these look as if they might fall over!

    The church tower of Suurhusen

    Built in 1450, the 27-meter-high church tower lies in Suurhusen, Germany. It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunks (树干). When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again. The lean (倾斜) of the tower is now about five degrees.

    The Leaning Tower of Pisa

    The work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side. Now it leans just an angle of 3.97 degrees.

    Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi

    Completed in 2011, the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees. The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains, among other things, a fine hotel with wonderful views of the harbour. Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.

    Big Ben of London

    The building leans 0.26 degrees to the northwest. This is mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s. The tower, which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858, has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter.

    1.The underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.

    A. danger B. church C. castle D. treasure

    2.What can we learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

    A. It didn’t lean until ten years after its completion.

    B. It took almost two hundred years to complete.

    C. It was built on foundations of oak tree trunks.

    D. It has been open since it was completed.

    3.Which of the following towers leans the most according to the text?

    A. The church tower of Suurhusen.

    B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

    C. Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi.

    D. Big Ben of London.

    4.What would be the best title for the text?

    A. The history of towers

    B. The art of building a tower

    C. The leaning towers of the world

    D. Top four tallest towers in Europe
