The main character faces a problem,usually quite a serious one.The thing that most draws us in 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 growing-up 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 “in-between” 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.And they are in a challenging period of life. B.But most importantly,great stories have a central drama. C.To some degree,challenges bring out the best in characters. D.But that’s what young adults want in fiction:to be taken seriously.

Unit 2 Language能力提升题组训练(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018广东汕头高三三模) Long in the 1700s,“home” was used as a verb,meaning “to be guided to a destination.” So,when you home in on something you get closer to your target.For example,you could say,“Police are homing in on the suspects.”But today,“home” is more often used as a noun.And it has a very emotional connection for American English speakers.You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “Home is where the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort.It is a place where you belong,and often a place you consider your origin.You can also simply carry the feeling of home with you—that is,a feeling of love and loyalty to your family and places that are dear to you.In other words,“home” is not simply a building where you live—that’s a house.Some people find that returning to a childhood place brings only joy and delight.When these people return to their childhood homes,they may say “Home Sweet Home!”Of course,you can say this anywhere.A single woman living alone in her first apartment may come home after a tough day at work and sigh,“Ah,home sweet home!”If she loves her apartment she might also say:“There’s no place like home.”But what about those people who must stay away from their homes for a long time? They still want to feel connected to a place they can depend on.Hotels know this about travelers.Many advertise that they will be a home away from home.This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.Friends can also give you a home away from home.When you visit them,they may say to you:“Make yourself at home!” This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.1.When the police say they are homing in on the suspects,they mean .A.they will go to the suspects’ homeB.they will catch the suspects soonC.they are going home with the suspectsD.they are getting closer to the home2.What does the underlined word “dear” in Para.2 mean?A.preciousB.expensiveC.familiarD.favorite3.Why do many hotels advertise that they will be a home for the travelers?A.To provide a home for the travelers.B.To make the travelers believe they have a home.C.To convince the travelers of how comfortable their hotels are.D.To describe their hotels more vividly.4.When you want to make someone feel relaxed and welcome,you can say .A.Help yourselfB.Make yourself at homeC.Just do itD.Don’t be nervous语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting” promises to power countless consumer devices,often with nothing more than your body’s movement or heat.Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products,but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,” said Graham Martin,CEO of the EnOcean Alliance,a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies.With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices,“if they are all battery-powered,we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium(锂) in the world,” he added.“So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched,the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge.Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades,for example,by winding themselves when their user moves their arm.Now,the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies,Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation.Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips that create electricity from ultrasound to power implantable devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes,which canmonitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024,while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2019.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex,however.For one thing,the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover,the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them,according toa Columbia University study. It determined that taller people on average provide about20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking,running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products.While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years,experts say,people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.1.Which “explode” in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode” in Paragraph 2?A.They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B.The continued tension could explode into more violence.C.The population exploded to 5,000 during the last tourist season.D.The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.2.What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A.The waste of lithium in the world.B.The increasing number of electronic devices.C.The development of technology.D.The pollution caused by batteries.3.It can be learned from the passage that .A.energy-harvesting products will be popular in the long runB.taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC.automatic watches harvest energy from the users’ body heatD.two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几种能够代替锂电池为电子设备提供电源的能量收集产品,该类产品不仅功能强大,还很环保。

Unit 3 Looking good,feeling good能力提升题组训练(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解Waterpebble:saving water one drop at a timeIntroduction:With Waterpebble,you can know how much water is being used while you are showering and decrease that amount so gradually that it’s practically impossible to see. Aims:Waterpebble not only encourages people to use less water but also helps people realize the importance of protecting the earth.Background:Paul Priestman invented Waterpebble and was originally inspired by a hotel bathroom sign that read,“Please Save Water.”Usage:Waterpebble is a small round device (设备) that has three light indications of red,orange and green.They indicate “too much”,“just enough” and “Well done! You’re saving the planet”.Simply place Waterpebble under the shower and it will record the length of your showers.From that point on it starts gradually encouraging you to reduce your shower time by flashing the appropriate light.During your next shower it will flash green, orange or red.If you have let it go all the way to red,then you have overused the amount of time of your last shower.If you stop showering at green,you have beaten your record.The idea is to limit each shower to six minutes or less.Effects:Families who use Waterpebble can look forward to their future water bills.It is a clever and environmentally conscious way to make the process of saving water a more instinctive(本能的) character.Families report that their kids love the idea of playing a role in protecting the planet without being constantly reminded.For more information,please visit Waterpebble online.1.Waterpebble is designed to .A.encourage people to shower every dayB.help people save water while showeringC.help people take a shower more happilyD.record people’s shower time accurately2.What inspired Paul Priestman to invent Waterpebble?A.His love for invention.B.The fact of lacking water.C.An experience of staying in a hotel.D.The importance of taking showers.3.When you take a shower,you should .A.turn on the three lights of Waterpebble firstB.set a time limit on Waterpebble ahead of timeC.pay attention to the flashing light of WaterpebbleD.keep Waterpebble’s red light flashing all the time语篇解读:本文是应用文。

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解AThere was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals a day was a luxury.Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books.She would wear overly long dresses to school so her classmates wouldn’t notice her bare feet.Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs.daughters should be raised.However,a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side.The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school.Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either,she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework,and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks.She could have complained her fate and quit school.Instead,she chose to look at it as extra practice.Invariably,she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school,fighting against her circumstances all the way,every single day.It was the night before finals.She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal.It represented an entire year’s worth of her work.She was so absorbed in her schoolwork that she forgot to look at the clock.It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet.That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove.Through blurry eyes,she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames.In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading,she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side,and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous owners as unusable.She then measured and hand-cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of 100 pages.She could have broken down beyond hope at this point.Instead,when life handedher lemons,she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted.She served her father dinner,and after he went to bed,she set about recreating an entire year’s worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp,because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying.This time,she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded.She still ended up topping her class anyway.She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math,Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry.She made the best lemonade in her life!1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The girl’s father treated her very well.B.The girl stole paper from her colleague.C.The girl complained her life and quit school.D.The girl ranked No.1 when she graduated.2.Why her father was so angry?A.The girl didn’t cook for him.B.The girl didn’t do well at school.C.The girl made the lemonade.D.The girl wasted electricity studying.3.Which of the following words can best describe the girl?A.poor and complainingB.determined and hardworkingC.forgetful and carelessD.sympathetic and helpful4.What is the best title of this passage?A.A Brave Young GirlB.Be YourselfC.The Best Lemonade in LifeD.Study is Very Important语篇解读:本文是记叙文,讲述了一位出身贫寒但一直努力奋斗成才的女孩的故事。

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018江苏苏州一模) In English the sky is blue,and the grass is green.But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for both sky and grass:xanh.For decades cognitive(认知的) scientists have pointed to such examples as evidence that language largely determines how we see color.But new research with four-to six-month-old babies indicates that long before we learn language,we see up to five basic categories of color—a finding that suggests a stronger biological element to perceive(感知) color than previously thought.The study,published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA,tested the color-discrimination abilities of more than 170 British babies.Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent staring at color swatches,a system known as looking time.First babies were showed one swatch repeatedly until their looking time decreased—a sign they had grown bored with it.Then the researchers showed them a different sample and noted their reaction.Longer looking times were explained to mean the babies considered the second sample to be a new color.Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors:red,green,blue,purple and yellow.“The finding suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions,but given your culture and language,certain distinctions may or may not be used,”explains lead author Alice Skelton,a doctoral student at Sussex.The study systematically explored babies’ color perception,revealing how we perceive colors before we have the words to describe them,says Angela M.Brown,an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State University’s College of Optometry,who was not involved with the new research.The results add a new challenge to the long nature-versus-nurture debate and the so-called Sapir Whorf hypothesis(假设)—the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language.In future work,Skelton and her colleagues are interested in testing babies fromother cultures.“The way language and culture interact is a really interesting question,”she says.“We don’t yet know the exact systems,but we do know how we start off.”1.What’s the finding of the new research?A.It clarifies what makes babies perceive colors.B.It proves human color recognition is inborn.C.It finds how many colors babies can perceive.D.It shows the color culture is shaped by language.2.According to the new research,we can learn that .A.swatches affect babies in memory and attentionB.longer looking times are based on the psychologyC.researchers determine babies’ color perceptionD.babies can tell the differences of some colors3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Rainbow in the Baby’s WorldB.A Journey to the World of ColorsC.A New Challenge:Language vs.CultureD.Different Babies,Different Color Perception语篇解读:本文是说明文。

It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking,running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products.While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years,experts say,people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.1.Which “explode” in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode” in Paragraph 2?A.They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B.The continued tension could explode into more violence.C.The population exploded to 5,000 during the last tourist season.D.The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.2.What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A.The waste of lithium in the world.B.The increasing number of electronic devices.C.The development of technology.D.The pollution caused by batteries.3.It can be learned from the passage that .A.energy-harvesting products will be popular in the long runB.taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC.automatic watches harvest energy from the users’ body heatD.two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几种能够代替锂电池为电子设备提供电源的能量收集产品,该类产品不仅功能强大,还很环保。
