Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden is a fantastic novel that is about seven teenagers who go on a hike for a week to a remote wilderness called Hell. When the group return home, they discover that their country has been invaded. Their families have been taken prisoner and their town is in a mess. After a series of terrifying adventures, they move back to Hell for safety reasons. While there, the group work out their choices. They decide that they will make their base in Hell but they will not just hide. They will try to do something for their country and fight against the enemy.
The story is told from Ellie’s point of view, one of the teenagers. She has been chosen by the group as the one who should record what has happened. Ellie’s description of the story shows how seven normal teenagers can change from innocent high school students to courageous heroes fighting for their country. Desperate and extraordinary events are described one minute and normal teenage worries and emotions the next. For example, Ellie is thinking about happy things at the same time as she is concerned about whether her parents are alive and working out ways to survive.
The main characters are Ellie, Lee, Fiona, Corrie, Kevin, Robyn, Homer, and a boy named Chris who they find in hiding later on in their adventures. At the end of the book, great changes occur. The teenage characters have all grown in each other’s eyes and learned a great deal about war, about life and death, and about themselves.
Tomorrow, When the War Began is a realistic story with nervousness, excitement and fear. I find it spellbinding—in fact, I can’t wait to read it in one day. I think it’s worth reading for everyone.
24.What happens during the teenagers’ first stay in Hell

B.They get separated.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and this is exactly the case in Türkiye where garbage collectors started collecting abandoned books and ended up opening a library.
It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills(垃圾填埋场) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. At first the library was only accessible to the garbage employees and their families but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.
“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books and with everyone’s support, the project became a reality.”
All the books that are found are carefully sorted and checked for condition. If they’re up to standard, they’ll go on the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to non-fiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. Additionally, there is a section specially set aside for book types of scientific research and there are also books available in both English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.
“Village school teachers from all over the country are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.
This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chessboards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.
28.How did the library attract public interest and support
A.By offering free tea to visitors.
B.By organizing chess matches.
C.Through word-of-mouth and book donation.
D.By cooperating with nearby schools.
29.What do we know about the library
A.You can’t find novels in the library.
B.There are only books in Chinese and English.
C.All the books that are found will go on the shelves.
D.Schools and educational programs can borrow books from the library.
30.Why does the government hire a full-time employee
A.To raise people’s awareness of recycling.
B.To classify and check the donated books.
C.To expand the social influence of the library.
D.To meet the huge demand from rural teachers.
31.What can be inferred about the library from the last paragraph
A.It’s an excellent place to enjoy tea.
B.It’s crowded with readers every day.
C.It needs to improve its management.
D.It provides very considerate service.
D
Ada Palmer is a professor of European history at the University of Chicago. Her science-fiction series, Terra Ignota, was inspired by 18th-century philosophers such as Voltaire and Diderot. “I wanted to write a story that Voltaire might have written if Voltaire had been able to read the last 70 years’ worth of science fiction and have all of those tools available(可获得的) for his use,” Palmer says in a radio program called Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Palmer says that Voltaire could actually be considered the first sci-fi writer, thanks to a short story he wrote in 1752. “Voltaire has a short story called Micromégas, in which an alien from Saturn and an alien from a star near Sirius come to Earth. They are extremely big in size. They explore Earth and have trouble finding life forms because to them a whale is the size of a flea (跳蚤),” she says. They eventually realize that the tiny little spot of wood on the ground is a ship, and it’s full of living things, including humans, and they make contact. So it’s a first-contact story.
Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein is often considered the first sci-fi novel. Voltaire was writing much earlier than Shelley, so should he have the title instead It depends on your definition (定义) of science fiction. “Micromégas doesn’t involve technology,” Palmer says, “so if you define science fiction as depending upon technology—and being about, in the sense of Frankenstein. ‘Is man’s knowledge giving us access to powers beyond what we’ve had before What does that mean ’—it isn’t asking that. But ‘aliens and first contact’ is a very significant science fictional element.”
So there’s no obvious answer to the question of who should be considered the first sci-fi writer. Palmer says it’s more important to ask the question than to arrive at any particular answer. “I don’t want to argue, ‘Yes, definitely, everybody’s history of science fiction should start with Voltaire,’” she says. “But I do want to argue that everybody’s history of science fiction will be richer by discussing whether Voltaire is the beginning of science fiction, or whether it’s earlier or whether it’s later, because that gets at the question of what science fiction is.”
32.What do we know about Micromégas according to the text
A.It is widely accepted as a science-fiction story.
B.It has a big influence on today’s science fiction.
C.Its main characters have trouble finding humans.
D.Its content is about humans’ exploration of space.
33.Why does Ada Palmer regard Voltaire as a sci-fi writer
A.One of his stories focuses on technology.
B.His story involves aliens from other planets.
C.He described human-alien contact in a story.
D.Her science fiction was inspired by his writing.
34.What does Ada Palmer really want to discuss when it comes to science fiction
A.Its true origin.　　　B.What it can cover.
C.Its colourful expressions.　　　D.Why it is interesting.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Ada Palmer and science fiction
B.Was Voltaire the first sci-fi author
C.Technology’s role in science fiction
D.What is science fiction really about

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas seemed happy with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gift this year would be received. With so many Christmases spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

第二节
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自助书籍的作用。

37.D　 过渡句。空前一句提到自助书籍很有帮助是因为它们有几个优点,后文提到希望和积极的期望的意义,所以设空处应该承上启下,指出给予希望和积极的期望是自助书籍的一个优点,D项“首先,它们建立希望和积极的期望”符合语境,其中hope和positive expectations为原词复现。故选D项。
38.A　 主旨句。根据For example可知,后文举例说明设空处的内容,设空处应是本段的主旨句。后文提到关于改变性格、克服害羞或其他问题的书籍是由社会学家或心理学家撰写的,关于如何在特定职业中取得成功的书籍通常是由那些有丰富现实生活经验的人写的,由此可知,自助书籍的作者都是专业人士,A项“自助书籍是由专家撰写的”符合语境。故选A项。
39.E　细节句。根据空前两句可知,自助书籍的作者都是专业人士,设空处位于段尾,应是对前文进行总结,E项“因此,(这)使自助书籍更加可信”与前文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E项。
40.G　细节句。上文提到自助书籍帮助你打开思想和世界,让你从一个新的角度看事情,下文提到它可以帮助你重新审视自己的处境,激励你找到解决问题的新方法,由此可知,本段介绍自助书籍对思维的帮助,G项“这样,你就能用一种新的思维方式来理解事情”也是在说自助书籍对思维的作用,符合语境。故选G项。

第二节
One possible version:
I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face. He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of his gifts and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I thought she was showing off her efforts on the decorations but she took down a small box and passed it to me, smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a card which read “We will never forget you. Merry Christmas!” Under the card was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved to tears.
