For high school readers seeking science fiction where young women are the main characters, the genre(体裁) offers exciting adventures that are both imaginative and empowering. Here are four standout sci-fi novels that provide perfect gateways into the genre.
Show Us Who You Are
Show Us Who You Are by Elle McNicoll presents a stimulating look at technology. When the main character, Cora, is given a chance to connect with her comatose(昏迷的) friend through a 3-D image, she sees it as a blessing. However, she soon uncovers the tech company’s dark secrets and dangerous agendas. This novel is more than a simple mystery; it’s an exploration of what it means to be human in a digital age and the importance of challenging powerful institutions.
5 Worlds Series
For those who appreciate visual storytelling, the 5 Worlds Series by Mark Siegel and Alexis Siegel is a masterpiece. This great story, described as Star Wars meets The Last Airbender, follows Oona Lee and her companions as they race to light the beacons(灯塔) of five planets to save their universe from extinction. With amazing artwork, the series is a wild ride across unique worlds, featuring a determined heroine who must unlock her potential and learn to lead.
Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone
Jennifer Chan Is Not Alone by Tae Keller is a powerful combination of sci-fi mystery and realistic fiction. The story begins when Mallory's neighbor, an eager alien hunter, disappears. As Mallory investigates the truth using clues from a journal, the story explores deep themes of middle school. It’s a sensitive and tense exploration of how we treat those who are different and the secrets we keep from others and ourselves.
When You Reach Me
The Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead is a masterclass in complex storytelling. Set in the 1970s New York City, it follows sixth-grader Miranda as she receives mysterious notes that seem to predict the future. The novel brilliantly mixes elements of time travel with a touching coming-of-age story about friendship, family, and the connections that shape our lives, keeping readers engaged until the final, satisfying revelation.

In 1962,American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring,a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides(杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly,as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition,the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed.
Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania,where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology,which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing.
Before Silent Spring,Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book,gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts.
Knowing her work would be criticized,Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick,and she died in 1964. However,her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement,led to the ban of DDT in the U.S.,and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist.
24. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring
A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book.
B. Carson refused to share her research data with them.
C. They believed the book would confuse the general public.
D. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests.
25. How did Carson's personal background contribute to her environmental work
A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research.
B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution.
C. Her family's farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals.
D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy.
26. The text suggests that Carson's research for the book was characterized by its ______.
A. comprehensiveness and various sources
B. reliance on government reports
C. focus on theoretical models
D. speed and efficiency
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. The scientific process behind banning DDT.
B. The remarkable and lasting impacts of Rachel Carson’s book.
C. The history of pesticide use in the United States.
D. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies.
C
It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward:taking orders,delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks,and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible.
These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They're what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working.
So much happened in the interstitial(空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses,cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies:learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known.
High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes,and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school.
This relief came not from avoiding people,but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them,learn from them,and love them.
28. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work
A. Earning money for college.
B. Learning to form a community.
C. Developing responsibility and skills.
D. Making friends with different people.
29. What does the author say about high school life
A. It lacks meaningful activities.
B. It focuses on academics.
C. It is highly school-centered.
D. It provides adequate social opportunities.
30. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant
A. Friends should share similar interests.
B. Workplace relationships are temporary.
C. True friendship requires constant agreement.
D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences.
31. What is the author's main conclusion about her job experience
A. It helped improve her academic performance.
B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development.
C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs.
D. Its main benefit was earning teachers' approval.
D
Sharks are dying at staggering rates,primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted,more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away,contributing significantly to their decline.
In response,regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention(留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently,17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries.
A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality(死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups:smaller sharks,deep-water species,and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably,thresher sharks,hammerheads,and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%.
The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average,this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks.
The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step,but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear(for example,not using steel wires in longline fishing),protecting key shark habitats(especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up),and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation.
Moreover,the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes—such as rays,skates,and chimaeras. These fishes face similar threats of extinction,but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies.
32. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining.
33. Retention bans require fishermen to ______.
A. avoid fishing in shark habitats
B. release accidentally caught sharks
C. use special equipment to protect sharks
D. limit the number of sharks caught per year
34. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released
A. Deep-water species.
B. Large species near the coast.
C. Those living in shallow waters.
D. Species with slow reproductive rates.
35. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about
A. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively.
B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful.
C. The retention bans need to be changed completely.
D. Focusing only on young sharks is important.

The sun was very hot in Green Hill Park last Saturday afternoon. My friends Tom,Emma and I sat under a big tree near the entrance. We were eating sandwiches and talking about our school basketball team. Tom practiced shooting with an old water bottle,while Emma drew pictures of birds in her notebook. I watched families walking happily and children playing on the swings nearby. The air felt light and peaceful.
Suddenly,we heard a loud shout and a dog barking(吠) wildly. We looked up quickly. A small white dog was running fast towards the busy road outside the park! Its broken rope dragged behind it. An old man with white hair was trying to catch the dog,but he looked very tired and afraid. He took a few more steps,then suddenly fell down hard onto the grass near the park gate. He held his chest and couldn’t stand up. The dog kept running towards the dangerous traffic. Emma cried out,covering her mouth. Tom dropped his bottle,eyes wide open. Our happy afternoon was broken. We knew we had to help immediately. The man lay quietly on the ground,breathing with difficulty. The little dog was almost on the road with cars moving fast. We needed to act fast but carefully. Tom pointed at the man,then at the dog,and then pulled out his phone. We understood:one for the man,one for the dog,and one for calling help. My heart beat fast as we stood up together.

第一节(范文参考)
My Trip to a Museum
Last weekend I visited the local history museum with my classmates. We viewed plenty of old daily necessities and precious historical exhibits. A guide told us interesting stories behind these relics patiently.
I learned much about our city’s development from ancient times to the present. I felt proud of our splendid history and traditional culture. This meaningful trip broadened my horizons greatly.
第二节 续写参考范文
We immediately took separate actions to deal with the different problems. Tom dialed 120 at once for the fallen old man and stayed beside him to comfort him. I rushed toward the road to stop the little dog before it ran into heavy traffic. Luckily, I caught it safely and tied it to a roadside bench. Emma stayed with the old man, wiping sweat from his forehead and calming his anxiety. Soon the ambulance arrived and checked the old man’s physical condition.
Everything worked out well because we acted quickly as a team. The doctor said the old man only suffered from sudden discomfort and would recover soon. After the old man felt better, he thanked us repeatedly and took his dog away. Though our pleasant picnic was interrupted, all of us felt satisfied and joyful. We realized small joint efforts can make a big difference to people in trouble.
