【题目】 Whether they’re for a teenager or not, all great stories have certain elements: they have interesting characters we enjoy reading about; they show these characters in a world we can recognize and understand.

1 The main character faces a problem, usually quite a serious one. The thing that most draws us to reading the story is the way the character deals with the problem—whether the character gets the better of it, or it gets the better of the character.

Characters in a book for young adults are generally young adults themselves. 2 On the one hand, they’re not children anymore. They’re growing up and want to stretch their wings. On the other hand, they’re not yet adults. They can’t do certain things, as they’re not yet able to do them or because the world tells them that they can’t.

To make things even more complicated, almost all young adults feel at some point that the whole growingup process is happening too quickly. 3

This year, TEENS has selected seven of the ten books, nominated (提名) for the US 2017 National Book Awards in the categories of Young People’s Literature.

Some stories are specifically written for teenagers or young adults, meaning that their authors are very sensitive to the “inbetween” nature of teenage life. They’re about problems that appear for young people because of tensions between them and their parents and teachers, their siblings (兄弟姐妹)or wider society. Often, these problems are presented very seriously by writers. 4

At the same time, fiction isn’t supposed to be just about the challenges people face in life, but also about how people overcome those problems. 5 They discover something about themselves that they never knew before, and which enables them to succeed. And the solution that they find opens the future up to them, setting them on the path to adulthood.

A.They want to hold back a little and remain a child a little longer.

B.But that’s what young adults want in fiction; to be taken seriously.

C.When closing a good book, we feel we’ve learned something about ourselves.

D.These are stories that someone of any age could pick up and enjoy.

E.And they are in a challenging period of life.

F.But most importantly, great stories have a central drama.

G.To some degree, challenges bring out the best in characters.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。作者主要分析了优秀小说的特点,着重分析了写给年轻人的小说。

1空格位于段首。第一段讲了好的故事都共有的两个因素,空后主要讲了小说中的主人公通常都要面临一个相当严重的问题,并且讲到最吸引人们读小说的是主人公处理问题的方式。由此可知,这段主要谈的是小说的情节。选项F(最重要的是,好的故事都有一个中心戏剧)与这段中描述的情节相吻合,故选F

2空格位于段中。根据后面的“On the one hand, they’re not children anymore. They’re growing up and want to stretch their wings. On the other handthey’re not yet adults. They can’t do certain things, as they’re not yet able to do them or because the world tells them that they can’t(一方面,他们不再是孩子了。他们想长大,展翅飞翔。另一方面,他们还不是成人。有些事情他们不能做,因为他们还做不到或者因为周边的世界告诉他们不可以这样做)”可以看出,这个时候的年轻人有着非常矛盾的心理感受。选项E(他们处在一个很有挑战性的人生阶段)与这段内容吻合。并且选项E中的They与上句中的young adults形成指代关系,与下句中的they也相呼应。故选E

3空格位于段尾。空格前一句句意为:让事情更复杂的是,几乎所有的年轻人都会在某个阶段感觉整个成长过程发生得太快了,所以他们希望时光能倒回一点,让他们再当一段时间的小孩子。选项A(他们希望时光能倒回一点,让他们再当一段时间的小孩子)符合上下文逻辑关系。故选A

4空格位于段尾。空格前一句句意为:作者通常会很认真地呈现这些问题,而B项(但是这正是年轻人在小说中想要看到的---被认真对待)能很好地承接上文,并且选项B中的seriously与上句中的seriously完美呼应。故选B

5空格位于段中。空格上一句句意为:同时,小说不只是要写人们生活中遇到的挑战,还要写人们如何克服这些问题。选项G(在某种程度上,挑战能激发人物最优秀的品质)与上文能很好衔接,选项G中的challenges与上句中的challenges完美呼应,其中的bring out与下文中的discover也是很好的呼应。故选G

七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本题中第一个空格位于段首,通过篇章结构可以确定这是本段落主旨句。然后根据第二段主要描写故事情节可选出正确答案。第二题、第四题、第五题都可以依据上下句间的关键词呼应解题。第三题主要依据上下句逻辑关系解题。每题具体解题步骤见详情。这些原则做题时比内容一致性更容易发现,准确度也更高,因为它们体现的是语言间的逻辑关系。

【题目】 Mercury(水星) is the closest planet to the sun. It is a planet slightly larger than the Earth’s moon. It is covered in craters. Some craters have ice in them, even though the planet is hot. Sunlight never touches some parts because of the planet’s special position. Without air, there are great temperature differences between the coldest and hottest parts. Mercury days are so long that there are big differences between temperatures on the daylight side and the night side.

Mercury was created billions of years ago, when big rocks ran into each other. After these accidents, the planet was frequently visited by meteorites (流星) for several hundred million years. There were also many volcanic eruptions. As the planet cooled, the thin, rocky outside shell reduced in diameter(直径) by about 3 kilometers.

The Caloris Basin is one of the largest craters on Mercury. This big crater is 1, 300 kilometers wide and was formed when a large rock, about 100 kilometers across, knocked into the surface. Beethoven, another large crater, is 643 kilometers across.

The cliffs on Mercury are up to 2 kilometers high and hundreds of kilometers long. The cliffs were formed when the thin surface fell apart, as volcanic activity slowed down and Mercury became cooler.

One Mercury day lasts about 59 Earth days. Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to have a complete year, instead of the 365 days that we have on the Earth. Mercury speeds around the sun so that there are three Mercury days every two Mercury years! Mercury has a strange relationship with the Earth. Every 117 days, when Mercury is closest to the Earth, it always has the same side facing us.

Mariner 10 is the only spacecraft to visit Mercury. It made three visits to Mercury in, the 1970s, taking photos of many cliffs and craters. Although the first three visits answered many questions, they have raised others.

1What is the surface of Mercury like?

A.It’s generally flat.B.It’s hot everywhere.

C.It’s bright everywhere.D.It’s cold in some parts.

2Why did Mercury’s diameter get smaller?

A.A drop in temperature changed its size.

B.A great many meteorites ran into it.

C.It got out of shape as time passed.

D.Lots of surface rocks fell off.

3What do we know about Mercury?

A.One Mercury day lasts about 88 Earth days.

B.It turns around the sun faster than the Earth.

C.Six Mercury days are two Mercury years.

D.It has more cliffs than large craters.

4What happened after Mariner 10’s three visits to Mercury?

A.Another spacecraft visited Mercury.

B.New cliffs and craters were formed.

C.New signs of volcanic activity appeared.

D.Lots of new puzzles needed to be solved.
