Ⅰ.B

Ⅱ.1.（1）The Fault in Our Stars

（2）John Green

（3）The Fault in Our Starsis a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters,which gives you the concept of what cancers are like,of how children in particular fight them,reveals and reminds you of your most innocent first love in life.

（4）In this book,you can find a great deal of excitement,humor and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

（5）Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters

（6）In their teens

（7）Fighting against terminal cancer but seeking support,love and joy of life at the same time.

（9）Painful but joyful

（10）divided among people.

（11）Funny,romantic,unputdownable and profound,The Fault in Our Starsis definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century.

2.Great books can not only benefit personal growth but also reveal a different but existent world to you.Take this book for an example.You don't have to suffer terminal cancer like Hazel and Augustus until you find that some people are forced to confront death in a way that you can hardly imagine.Thus,reading provides a bridge to understanding and sympathy.At the same time,Augustusmay arouse yourreflectionsby his concept of importance.That is,without doing something dramatic that lives in people's minds,will your significance,like your consciousness,simply be consumed by oblivion after death?In conclusion,books can not only provide you with a world of different experiences but “read” your understanding,reflections,acts and explorations in the meaning of life.

Step 4 提升·素养建构

【参考范文】

Great expectationsis set in England in the early 1800s.The author uses Pip,the main character,to tell the story.Having lost his parents,Pip lives with his elder sister and her husband Joe.Pip's sister often abuses him,but Joe is a kind and simple man who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.

Pip,who is seven years old when the story begins,is in a foggy cemetery（墓地）when a desperate criminal appears and frightens him.Mist is a symbol of danger in Great Expectations.Classic novels often have symbols which add interest,tension or deeper meaning to the text.Readers may not be able to see the danger,so they need a symbol like the mist to make it clearer to them.

There is a twist in the plot when a very generous stranger gives Pip a large fortune.As a condition for receiving this fortune,Pip must move to London and begin the life of a gentleman.Pip iseagertobegin hisnew life.Moneyand education,however,change him,and before long he becomes vain and ashamed of his background.Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London.He has rigid ideas of what it means to be civil and to be a gentleman,and is embarrassed by Joe because he does not fit these.

Pip is bent on becoming a gentleman and winning Estella's love.Estella is a beautiful girl,and for Pip she a symbol of education and money.What is really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations.Is a person with a lot of money a gentleman?Or,is a gentleman somebody who is kind and good to his friends?

By the end of the novel,Pip has changed a lot.He learns that wealth does not buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education.This change in Pip is called character development,which is an important part of almost any novel.Does Joe forgive Pip?Does Pip get the girl of his dreams?Will Pip ever find out the identity of the person who gave him the money?You will just have to read the great book yourself to find out.(摘自《牛津高中英语》模块八第一单元Reading部分)

怎样写好求助信

小试牛刀

【参考范文】

Dear Anna,

How are you doing?I'm planning to go to the UK to take a three-month English course at the University of Nottingham after graduation this June.It's quite expensive but I'm hoping to improve my pronunciation.

To help cover the costs of my study,I am to find a part-time job.It's also a good way to practice my oral English and develop a better understanding of the British society.So I'm wondering if you could ask around your friends to see if anyone wants a waiter in the restaurants or a Chinese teacher for their children.I would appreciate it very much if you can help me.

Looking forward to your reply.Yours，Li Hua

Task 8

本文是一篇记叙文。作者以自己的事例呼吁全体女性勇敢追求成功，为争取性别平等而不懈努力。

1.C 根据It was to be the best tennis player以及下文内容 “People call me...Why don't they say LeBron is one of the world's best male athletes？”可知，此处指作者自己小时候的理想与普通孩子的是不同的，故选average意为“普通的；一般的”。

2.A 结合本文主旨以及下文中的 “People call me one of the ‘world's greatest female athletes'．Why don't they say LeBron is one of the world's best male athletes？”可知，作者希望男女平等，所以作者在此强调的是自己的理想是做世界上最好的网球运动员，而不是最好的女子网球运动员。

3.B 幸运的是(Fortunately)，作者有鼓励她追寻自己梦想的家人。此处亦与下文中的But too often,most women are not supported形成对比。

4.D 根据下文中的My fight began when I was three可知，这里指作者知道为梦想而努力是多么重要。push for意为“为……而努力；力争”。

5.C 作者从三岁时就开始为理想奋斗，自此从未间断。break意为“暂停；间歇”，符合语境。

6.C 但是通常，大多数女性不被支持，或者被阻止去选择自己的道路。discourage意为“阻止；阻挠”，符合语境。

7.B 作者希望这种境况可以改变，在作者看来，这是有关“坚忍”的问题(question)。

8.A 根据下文中的my race,my gender和I accepted as fuel for my success可知，此处指被别人列为作者的劣势(disadvantages)的东西，比如她的种族，她的性别，作者将它们视为追求成功的动力。

9.D 根据下文中的 “I controlled my future.”可知，作者从不让任何事或任何人来限制自己，而是自己主宰自己的未来。limit意为 “限制”，符合语境。

10.B 当谈起同工同酬的问题时，作者感到懊恼，因为她自己亲身体验到性别差异的存在。分析句子结构可知，前后句之间是因果关系，且前面是果，后面是因，故用because。

11.C 根据语境可知，作者永远不希望看到做了同样的工作，女儿得到的报酬却比儿子的少。never意为“从不；绝不”。

12.A 为了获取成功，女性不得不打破许多障碍。break down意为 “打破；消除”，符合语境。

13.B 其中一个障碍就是总有人提醒我们不是男性。remind意为“提醒；使想起”，符合语境。

15.D 对我们的评价应该依据我们的成就而不是我们的性别。achievements意为“成就”，符合语境。

16.B 作者从心底里感谢经历过的伴随成功而来的起起伏伏。grateful意为“感激的；表示感谢的”，符合语境。

17.A 参见第16题解析。with意为“和；伴随着”，符合语境

18.B 作者希望她的故事可以激励女性为她们的梦想而奋斗。inspiration意为 “鼓舞人心的人(或事物)；使人产生动机的人(或事物)”，符合语境。
