Here's a list of books I'm looking forward to this fall season. Not all

of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but it's an abundant crop.

“ Home After Dark” by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11 )

In 2017, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir (回忆录) called

"Stitches". Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless

13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in

few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3p.m, Small will be at

Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www. https://www.360docs.net/doc/2218086919.html,/graph- tale.

“ Waiting for Eden” by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25)

This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation. More information at www. amazon. com/military-essay.

“All You Can Ever Know”by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2)

Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. More information at www. amazon. com /politics-prose.

“ Unshelte red”by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper, Oct. 16)

Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. Visit www. amazon. com/tech-science for more information.

A MENTORING ( 导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities

to

Banbury youths.

Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said: We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.

“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youths. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.

“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youths with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their fut ures.”Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youths who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).

The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Be fore we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazi ng,”he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each a fternoon.”

The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social

skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at

school in August.”

The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?

One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid al most ￡ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster Internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.

The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "Internet of things" -not just the Internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you,

but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机)

to

communicate with each other.

Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.

Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset

for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in

the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely

that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.

46. Why does Prof William Webb s ay “the te chnology could be a case of the

emperor's new clothes” ?

A. He is in favor of the application of the new

technology. B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in

their daily life.

C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other.

D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.

47. The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the

closest meaning to

A. making a speech to

B.

trying to solve

C. managing to decrease

D.

responding to

48. The last paragraph indicates that .

A. it'll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in

the UK B. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad

market C. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G

ones

D. it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in

Britain

49. What do we know about the text?

A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G

service. B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by

4G.

C. The application of 5G will make life much

easier. D. 5G phones are available in rural areas

of the UK.

50. What’s Prof Willia m’s attit ude towards 5G service, the new generation

of mobile technology?

A. Favorable.

B. Negative.

C. Indifferent.

D. Objective.

D

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack

on racism.

I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H.B. Stowe’s Uncle To m’s Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exception, Twain planned his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.

Again and again, in the postwar years, Mark Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain’s novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twain’s most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟).”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it)

But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personaliti es, “t he voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.”

There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a

challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.

Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的)

to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale centered in part

around two babies

switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her m aster’s baby and, for fear that

the child should be sold South, switched him for the master’s baby by his wife.

The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both

the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The mas ter’s

wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations

of the slave.

The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social

status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.

Twai n’s racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by the

lengthy passage in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black- face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.

Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past throug h the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.

51. How do Twain’s n ovels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?

A. Twain was more willing to deal with racism.

B. Twain’s attack on ra cism was much less open

C. Twain’s themes seemed to agree with plots

D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.

52. Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its .

A. target readers at the bottom

B. anti-slavery attitude

C. rather impolite language

D. frequent use of “ni g ger”

53. The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that .

A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters.

B. slaves’ babies could pick up slave-holders’ way of speaking

C. blacks’ social p osition was shaped by how they were brought up

D. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice

54. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A. The attacks

B. Slavery and prejudice

C. White men

D. The shows

55. What does the author mainly argue for?

A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.

B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.

C. Twain’s works had been b anned on unreasonable grounds.

D. Twain’s works should be r ead from a historical point of view.

分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Several years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today,

things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job”of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”.The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as

40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. The single factor contributing to this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

“In years that have gone by, the biggest stars were recommended and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an idol,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release. “From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars document their hobbies to an adoring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful gain fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting block. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that are destined to remain dreams. This is why despite the popularity of vloggers, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.

Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finisher s Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of the ir races. He told the career website Zippia that his job allows him to express his passion, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.

56. What’s the finding of the survey by Tesco Mobile? (No more than 15 words)

57. What’s the underlined word in the third paragraph? (One word)

58. What’s the bright side of being a vlogger? ((No more than 10 words)

59. How does David Leshaw benefit from his job as a vlogger? (No more than 15 words)

Sample writing:

Dear Linda,

Our City Library has just set up an English Corner, for which

volunteers are badly needed. I’m writing to ask if you are interested in it. The details

are as follows.

The English Corner is open to middle school students from 2pm to 4pm every Saturday. Aimed at improving their communication in English, the Corner also contributes to raising the stude nts’ awareness of Engli sh culture. The duties as a volunteer involve helping them practice spoken English and organize activities, which can not only increase their ability to express themselves but also offer a channel for them to get close to the culture.

I believe the experience will also be beneficial to you, making your life as an exchange more colorful and rewarding. I’m looking forw ard to your reply. (128w)

Yours

Xie Fei
