Not all brilliant reads are to be paid for, some classics are much more accessible—click and download.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice is a really, really good book. A little bit rigid, a little bit repressed, a little bit tender, and painfully class conscious, it's the full English romance package. Now more than 200 years old, the novel has been retold time and again, finding new audiences each time. Still, there's no substitute for the original.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
From the Cheshire Cat to Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Alice's adventures are as strange and wonderful today as they were 150 years plete with Arthur Rackham's wonderful illustrations there's still nothing quite like it. Everyone should go down the rabbit hole at least once.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Perhaps no book does a better job of condensing Charles Dickens' brilliance than his 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities. Taking place in London and Paris against the background of the French Revolution, the story has inspired countless projects since—even Christopher Nolan's Batman films. And the best thing If you like it, all Dickens' other books are ready and waiting to be read too.
Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley
Although Mary Shelley's central message of people being destroyed by the monsters they create has been largely ignored in the years since publication, the tale itself continues to be very popular indeed, and with good reason. The book's masterful combination of horror, romanticism, and science fiction makes it as attractive today as it would have been in 1818. Just the thing for nighttime reading.
21. What can you read about in Pride and Prejudice
A. Cute animals B. French Revolution C. Scientific discoveries D. Class consciousness
22. Which book best suits people who like to read at midnight
A. Pride and Prejudice B. A Tale of Two Cities
高二年级英语试卷第页共 3 10 页
C. Frankenstein D. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
23. What do the four novels have in common
A. They are romantic novels.
B. They can be read for free.
C. They were created in the early 1900s.
D. They were ignored when first published.

Wanda Smith always wanted to be a school teacher but sometimes meeting life's demanding realities could mean a dream delayed. A mother of three, Smith also cared for her mom. While shouldering her family responsibilities, she took jobs as bus monitor and custodian (管理员) for Brenham Independent School District in Texas. The hours were tiring, but rather than let her dream die, at age 37, with the support and encouragement of her husband, she added night classes to her schedule. Nine years on, she finally graduated with a bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State University. She was a certified teacher at last.
Smith's story came full circle when she was hired as a first - grade teacher back at Brenham Elementary School. "When I stand in front of my classroom, I am living my dream." Smith said during a TODAY show. During the pandemic, as some of her students struggled to meet the demands of distance learning, Smith stepped up to the challenge. Noting that many of the kids she teaches came from single - parent families, she began delivering packets of schoolwork to them at home. It's no wonder Smith's kids loved her. In a special surprise ceremony, they shouted their praise and held up big colorful signs declaring their devotion.
The feeling was repeated by Brenham's mayor, Milton Tate Jr., who officially declared May 4, 2021 as "Be the Best You Can Be" Wanda Smith Day. The phrase was also carved on a schoolyard bench, and in addition, a scholarship for up - and - coming teachers at Sam Houston State University has been established in her name.
Smith's life is an example as well as an inspiration. By always trying to be the best she could be, with hard work and the strong will, she graduated from cleaning classrooms to leading classrooms.
24. What prevented Smith from achieving her dream at a younger age
A. Special academic requirements. B. Her strong love for mother.
C. The lack of family support. D. Her heavy family burden.
25. What's the students' attitude towards Smith
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Respectful. D. Negative.
26. Which of the following facts shows Smith's influence beyond her school
A. A scholarship was created in her honor.
B. Her name was carved on schoolyard benches.
C. Colorful signs were held by her students.
D. A day was celebrated nationwide in her name.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To stress the importance of setting up a life dream.
B. To suggest lifelong learning by introducing Smith's story, C. To illustrate how Smith's experience inspired the people around. D. To show how Smith achieved her best with heart and devotion.
C
The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don't necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.
Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion(比例)of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.
The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low - income populations Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.
I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.
28. What's people's common belief about plastic recycling
A. Almost all plastic waste can be reused.
B. The methods are quite limited.
C. Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable.
D. The amount is unbelievably large.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. Plastic waste is on the decline globally.
B. Recycling plastics doesn't make money now.
C. Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.
D. New applications of plastics haven't been found.
30. Why can plastics make good building materials
A. They can resist water and won't last long.
B. They can be reproduced in large quantity. C. They satisfy the needs of low - income people. D. They meet most demands of building materials.
31. What's the author's attitude to plastic recycling
A. Positive B. Anxious C. Doubtful D. Critical
D
Are you the only child in your family If so, do you enjoy it or do you want more siblings(兄弟姐妹) On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth, since this is a critical time for China to transform the world's most populous country into a powerhouse(强国)with a quality workforce, according to the National Health Commission.
The three - child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and address the challenge of a rapidly aging population, China Daily reported.
China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row. The country's total birthrate — the average number of children born to each woman — stood at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will increase the cost of labor and the pressure on the social security net. It also means there will be a lack of young labor force. Therefore, it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua, a professor at Nanjing University.
In fact, the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy. The one - child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast - growing population. Then in 2013, China allowed couples to have a second child if either parent was an only child, and in 2016, all couples were allowed to have two children.
However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy. Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented, "High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also, many women are reluctant(不情愿的)to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects, according to Mu Guangzong, a professor at Peking University.
In that case, Mu noted that it is better to implement supporting measures with the three - child policy, such as more preferential(优惠的)policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
32. What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy
A. To increase the population’s role.
B. To stop the declining birthrate.
C. To address the challenge of the aging population.
D. To improve the child - care service system.
33. What can be known from the text
A. China’s annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
B. The government will protect the legal rights of women in employment.
C. Measures will be taken to improve the high - quality education.
D. The new policy allows couples to have up to three children.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “implement”
A. To carry out. B. To get along with.
C. To make use of. D. To have a command of.
35. Why does the author write the text
A. To show his love of children healthcare.
B. To introduce the new family size policy.
C. To share his concerns about birthrate.
D. To emphasize the physical and mental exhaustion.

Tips for preparing for your exams
When you prepare for your exams, it's hard to know where to begin. Remember these practical tips so you get a strong end result for your units.
*Start your revision early.
It's important to start revision early so if you need help, you still have time to seek guidance. 36 You can share questions, quiz (测验) each other, and test your understanding by explaining a concept to someone else.
*Summarise what you've learnt.
It can be hard to keep track of large amounts of information. 37 They can be written in full sentences or recorded on your phone. Anything that gets you actively recalling what you're revising will be useful.
* 38
Introduce relaxation exercises into your daily routine. By practicing relaxation you can develop a strong relaxation response to reduce the physical symptoms associated with any anxiety. Make time to go for a walk, play with your dog, hang out with family, and most importantly get plenty of sleep.
*Be prepared.
Ensure you have double - checked your exam timetable for the time and venue of your exam. Ensure you know what type of exam you will be doing (multiple - choice questions, short answers, etc.). 39 Making a list of what you can and cannot take into the exam can be helpful.
*Use nervousness to your advantage.
Everyone gets nervous before an exam. Research indicates that mild levels of anxiety can provide the burst of energy needed to get through demanding situations. Before going into the exam room, don't
stress about the things you think you do not know. Focus on the task ahead and have confidence in what
you do know. 40
A. Take care of yourself.
B. Have all of your exam materials ready.
C. Respect your personal habits and abilities.
D. Start to prepare questions you're not clear about.
E. Forming a study group can be an effective way to review.
F. A small amount of anxiety together with confidence is the key.
G. A good technique for piecing together information is making summaries.

When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18 - year - old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
"Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong," Bill sprang up and said nervously.
"What is it "
"This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook's car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic."
"Is the car seriously damaged "
"The left headlight got broken."
"It's truly your fault and it's really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it's illegal," Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
"Anyway, it's no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep."
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman's house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman's wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
"I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back " Adam requested eagerly.
"Of course. He should be home soon," Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

第一节：
Dear Jim,
Having heard about your plan for the future, I'm happy to share mine with you.
Becoming a journalist has always been my dream. When I was a child, I thought it was a great job as it offered journalists lots of chances to travel. Over time, I have come to feel that the responsibilities of revealing facts and spreading inspiring stories make the job more meaningful and attractive. In my opinion, writing ability is very important for a journalist, so I practise it almost every day. In addition, I plan to study journalism at Communication University of Beijing and currently I am preparing for the entrance exam.
How's your life now Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. "Mr. Brook, I'm here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that." "Oh, I see. But it's no big deal," Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, "This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss." However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. "Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I've come to say sorry for …" Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs - up and praised them happily, "Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car." Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn't take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden.
