A
Critics’ choice: The year’s best novels …
1. The Love Songs ofW. E. B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers (Harper, $29)
The novel from a celebrated poet, this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving coming-of-age story, an examination of race, and an exploration of American history. Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors.
2. Matrix by Lauren Groff (Knopf, $28)
If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has
reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.
3. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (Knopf, $28)
A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s “Artificial Friend,” Klara
serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable.
4. Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr (Scribner, $30)
Doerr’s first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years — from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century spaceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted
word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it’s above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.
21 .Which book is written by a poet
A .The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois. B.Matrix.
C.Klara and the Sun. D .Cloud Cuckoo Land.
22 .What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes.
“What has happened to me ” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human
bedroom, only rather too small, lay quiet between the four familiar white walls. Above the table on which a collection of cloth samples was unpacked and spread out—Samsa was a commercial traveler—hung the picture which he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and put into a pretty golden frame. It showed a lady. Gregor’s eyes turned next to the window, and the overcast sky—one could hear rain drops beating on the window—made him quite melancholy (忧郁的). What about sleeping a little longer and forgetting all this nonsense, he thought, but it could not be done, for he was accustomed to sleep on his right side and in his present condition he could not
turn himself over. However violently he forced himself towards his right side he always rolled on to his back again. He tried it at least a hundred times, shutting his eyes to keep from seeing his
struggling legs, and only stopped when he began to feel in him a faint ache he had never experienced before.
He thought: “What an exhausting job I’ve picked on! ” Traveling about day in, day out. It’s much more boring work than doing the actual business in the office, and on top of that there’s the trouble of constant traveling, of worrying about train connections, the bed and irregular meals,
casual acquaintances that are always new and never become intimate friends. The devil takes it
all! He felt a slight itching up on his belly; slowly pushed himself on his back nearer to the top of the bed so that he could lift his head more easily; identified the itching place which was
surrounded by many small white spots the nature of which he could not understand and made to touch it with a leg, but drew the leg back immediately, for the contact made a cold shiver run

Praised writer Jessica Khoury was only four years old when she began to write. Today, she has printed several books for young people, including The Mystwick School of Musicraft Series, The Corpus Trilogy, and The Forbidden Wish. Her latest novel is called The Ruby Code.
I recently spoke with Khoury about her new science fiction (小说) for middle-graders. The book, she told me from her home in South Carolina, is for anybody who has ever thought, “What would it be like for a video game world to come to life ”
Set in a future New York City, the book is, in Khoury’s words, “a high-action scary book.” Readers are introduced to 13-year-old Ash, a silent young gamer. His life circles around his love for virtual (虚拟的) reality games. They offer a chance to stay away from his bad stepfather and the cold-hearted people who laugh at him.
Ash’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is given a small metal box after helping a man in need. It contains an old-style video game called “The Glass Realm”. To his surprise, Ash meets

a character named Ruby who was created by artificial intelligence (AI). Her abilities are so huge that she can even rewrite the game.
Ruby’s secret knowledge leads Ash on a painful but exciting adventure. At last, he is able to learn the truth behind a dishonest company.
In The Ruby Code, Khoury seeks the advantages and disadvantages of rapid technological progress. Like many people, she wonders how AI will change life.
“As a writer,” Khoury said, “I think all the time about how long it will be before the robots take my job. But I’m not a person who’s scared of technology. I like to consider not just the
worst-case situation but also the best-case situation.”

30 .What causes a turn in Ash’s life
A .A company’s dishonesty. B .His sad childhood.
C .His kind behavior. D .Pleasure from the games.
31 .What does Khoury think of technology

It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan, near the
point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway. If you are familiar with this junction you will know it is far from the US’s current coastline. But in Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel New York 2140,
Manhattan is flooded after continuous climate change causes the sea level to rise by 15.25 m.
Robinson’s 2017 climate fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel, which tells “the
story of the next century”. It might be helping readers across the world comprehend the situation in which we currently find ourselves.
试卷第 7 页,共 14 页
Climate change is an indescribable crisis to make sense of. Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days, but what do you witness when you release
(释放) carbon dioxide (CO2)
“This is where fiction comes in: it brings the abstract data closer to home by focusing on
the face sand stories in these futures. Show readers a detailed account of a climate-changed
future,” says Robinson, and they have an easier time imagining it. “Science fiction gets people
thinking in a way that another report on climate change doesn’t,” says Shelley Streeby, a professor of Literature and Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego. “It helps people feel not only about what might be coming, but also about the present. It is about taking certain conditions that exist nowadays,
extending them into the future and throwing a bunch of characters into their midst.”
In the search to adopt climate change as a topic, writers are doing what they do best: trying to tell a good story. Sometimes they write with a touch of optimism as they negotiate the current
crisis. But even with this optimism, these writers want to make sure the world knows they, at least, are paying attention.
32 .What is the function of the first paragraph
A .To give background on a story.
B .To promote the novel New York 2140.
C .To lead to the topic of climate fiction.
D .To show the influence of climate change.
33 .How does the author show the climate change crisis is “indescribable”
A .By inferring. B .By comparing.
C .By analyzing. D .By imagining.
34 .What’s Streeby’s attitude toward science fiction
A .Approving. B .Cautious. C .Negative. D .Doubtful.
35 .Which is the best title for the text
A .Climate Crisis: No Longer a Forecast
B .The Future World: More Promising
C.New York 2140: A New Type of Novel
D .Climate Fiction: A Reminder of Climate Change

“Hello, Ms. Struna, this is Thomas. May I have your account information ”
After repeating the information he needed, I explained my dilemma in trying to understand the new policy and asked how it would affect my future purchases.
“Please, do not worry. You will have no change.”
“Are you sure I am an author and travel frequently. I need to have access to my card at all times for big or small purchases.” I laughed to myself, thinking I wasn’t going anywhere for a
while, at least until there was a vaccine.
“Let me reassure you. There will be no change to your card, but Ms. Struna, may I ask you one more question Are you the author of The Old Cape House ”
My jaw dropped. He was talking about my first novel of suspenseful historical fiction, The Old Cape House, published in 2013. I was stunned and I stammered, “Why, yes I am.” I was still skeptical about what he wanted from me.
Thomas kept talking. “I thought it was you. I recognized your name, and when you told me you were an author, I knew it was you.”
“Oh, my goodness.” My heart started to beat faster with delight at the connection I was making with an unknown foreign reader.
“Ms. Struna, your book changed me. It changed how I look at the world. It showed me ways to be more adventuresome and to be open to new things. Thank you so very much.”

24 .推理判断题。根据第一段“As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he
found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were
armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly
divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and
was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the
rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes. (一天早晨,Gregor Samsa 从不安的梦中醒来,发现自己躺在床上变成了一只巨大的昆虫。他硬挺地躺在背上, 好像身披铠甲似的。他稍微抬起头,就能看见他那像圆顶一样的棕色肚子分成了僵硬的拱形部分,上面的被子几乎无法固定,快要滑下来了。他的几条腿,比他身体的其他部分瘦得可怜,在他眼前无助地摆动 着。)”。可知,当 Gregor Samsa 醒来时,他发现自己变了一只甲虫,这是很滑稽的。故选 B。
25 .细节理解题。根据第二段“His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too small, lay
quiet between the four familiar white walls. (他的房间是一间普通的人类卧室,只是有点太小了,安静地躺在四堵熟悉的白墙之间。)”可知他房间的墙都是白色的,很单调,故选 C。

答案第 4 页,共 13 页
about day in, day out. It’s much more boring work than doing the actual business in the office, and on top of that there’s the trouble of constant traveling, of worrying about train connections, the
bed and irregular meals, casual acquaintances that are always new and never become intimate
friends. The devil takes it all! (他想:“我选了一份多么累人的工作啊!”一天到晚到处旅行。
这比在办公室里做实际的工作要无聊得多,除此之外,还要经常出差、担心火车转车、床和不规律的饮食、总是新认识的熟人,永远不会成为亲密的朋友。魔鬼夺走了一切!)”可推断, Samsa 对之前的生活不满意,故选 A。

(她在南卡罗来纳的家中告诉我,这本书是写给任何曾经想过“ 电子游戏世界变成现实会是什么样子?”的人的)”可知,对于 Khoury 而言,她的新科幻小说是为那些想要生活在电子游戏世界的人而写的,因此他们适合阅读这本小说。故选 C 项。
29 .细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His life circles around his love for virtual (虚拟的) reality games. They offer a chance to stay away from his bad stepfather and the cold-hearted people who laugh at him. (他的生活围绕着他对虚拟现实游戏的热爱。它们提供了一个机会,让他远离坏继父和那些嘲笑他的冷血的人)”可知,电子游戏让 Ash 受益的地方在于它们帮助他远离残酷的现实世界。故选 D 项。
30 .细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Ash’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is given a small metal box after helping a man in need.(在帮助了一个需要帮助的人之后,Ash 得到了一个小金属盒子,他的生活发生了意想不到的转变)”可知,Ash 帮助他人的善举让他的生活发生了转变。故选 C 项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Khoury 所说的话“I think all the time about how long it will be before the robots take my job. But I’m not a person who’s scared of technology. I like to consider
not just the worst-case situation but also the best-case situation.(我一直在想,机器人要多久才能取代我的工作。但我不是一个害怕科技的人。我不仅喜欢考虑最坏的情况,也喜欢考虑最好的情况)”可知,Khoury 并不害怕科技,她会考虑科技带来的坏处,也会考虑它带来的好处。

32.推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s the year 2140 and two kids ride their surfboards in the heart of Manhattan, near the point where Sixth Avenue meets Broadway. If you are familiar with this
junction you will know it is far from the US’s current coastline. But in Kim Stanley Robinson’s
novel New York 2140, Manhattan is flooded after continuous climate change causes the sea level
to rise by 15.25 m.(2140 年,两个孩子在曼哈顿的中心,在第六大道和百老汇的交汇处骑着冲浪板。如果你熟悉这个交界处,你就会知道它离美国现在的海岸线很远。但在金·斯坦利·罗宾逊的小说《纽约 2140》中,持续的气候变化导致海平面上升 15.25 米,曼哈顿被洪水淹没。) ”可知,本段主要描绘了罗宾逊的小说《纽约 2140》中的故事情节,再结合第二段首句“Robinson’s 2017 climate fiction novel belongs to a new kind of novel, which tells “the story of the next century” .(罗宾逊 2017 年的气候小说属于一种新型小说,它讲述了“下一个世纪的故事”。) ”及下文对气候小说的描述可推知,作者主要借助《纽约 2140》的故事情节引出气候小说这一话题。故选 C 项。
33 .推理判断题。根据第三段“Climate change is an indescribable crisis to make sense of. Drop some poisonous chemicals in a river now and you will see dead fish within days, but what do you witness when you release (释放) carbon dioxide (CO2) (气候变化是一场难以形容的危机。现在把一些有毒的化学物质扔进河里,几天内你就会看到死鱼,但是当你释放二氧化碳时,你会看到什么?)”可知,为了说明气候变化带来的危机是难以描述的,作者对比了释放有毒化学物质和释放二氧化碳的情况,前者的后果可见,而后者的后果不可见。故选 B 项。
34 .推理判断题。根据第四段中 Shelley Streeby 的话“Science fiction gets people thinking in a way that another report on climate change doesn’t(科幻小说让人们以一种气候变化报告无法做到的方式去思考)”和“It helps people feel not only about what might be coming, but also about the present.(它帮助人们不仅感知即将到来的事情,而且感知当下。)”可知,Streeby 认为科幻小说让人们以另一种方式思考气候变化,让人们感知未来和当下。由此推知,Streeby 对科幻小说是持赞成(approving)态度的。故选 A 项。
答案第 6 页,共 13 页
35 .主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了气候小说从更加生动的角度向人们展示未来气候变化带来的问题,从而帮助人们更好地理解气候变化的后果,引导人们更加关注当前的环境。因此,D 项“气候小说:气候变化的提醒”可概括文章大意,适合作为文章标题。故选 D 项。

unbelievably and excitedly, “I had thought nobody would like this type of novel. I was about to
give up when you gave me strength.” At this time, there were so many people standing in line that he had to be busy with his work. Therefore, he didn’t say too much, just giving me a determined look and telling me to call him as he handed me a note with a telephone number. Considering that maybe he was off duty, I called him. He was extremely grateful for my calling and said
emotionally, “It was your Old Cape House series that inspired me and people around me with confidence to life. Hoping you can continue writing to bring hope and new things to your loyal fans.”
I hung up, ending this coincidental connection to a fan reader in a faraway place. I sank into
thought: because of the outbreak of the epidemic, everyone's life was deeply affected and couldn't go out. Yes, he was right. It may be a good chance for me to bring a new world and something
about adventure to their life. What a kind man! His words were like the warm sunshine to sweep away dark clouds overhead and bring me hope and confidence. Now I think it is time to open my
computer and continue writing.
