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 master class 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.

After more than two decades of planning and construction at a cost exceeding $1 billion, Egypt officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near the Giza Pyramids. This landmark project, one of the world’s largest museums dedicated to a single civilization, showcases Egypt’s ancient history covering over 7,000 years.
Originally estimated at $500 million, the final budget more than doubled, funded through Egyptian government funds and international cooperation. The museum’s design draws inspiration from its setting: its triangular form corresponds to the three main pyramids, and its height is intentionally kept lower than that of the pyramids out of respect for their builders.
Visitors are greeted by the unique Hanging Obelisk, a 3,500-year-old monument suspended above a glass floor. Beyond it, the Grand Staircase leads past giant statues to the main galleries. The museum houses approximately 100,000 artifacts (文物), far more than initially planned. To view each item for one minute would require nearly 70 continuous days.
Among the highlights is the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures — all 5,398 items displayed together for the first time since their 1922 discovery. The museum also features a massive statue of Ramses II, which was carefully relocated from Cairo, and the Khufu Boat Museum, displaying a 4,500-year-old reconstructed solar boat.
The journey to this opening was long and complex. An international architectural competition in 2002 selected the design, but a series of global and regional crises repeatedly delayed the project from its initial 2010 target.
With 79 foreign delegations (代表团) attending the grand opening, Egyptian officials express high hopes that the GEM will significantly boost tourism and the national economy, expecting up to 5 million visitors annually. As one official stated, it represents “Egypt’s gift to the world,” a dream finally realized after years of anticipation, now standing as a bridge between the ancient past and the modern world.
24. What inspires the GEM’s design
A．Ancient Egyptian boats. B．Its surroundings. C．Tutankhamun’s treasures. D．Cairo’s architectural style.
25. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Ancient Egyptian royal figures. B．The age of Khufu’s solar boat. C．Key exhibits in the GEM. D．The relocation of Ramses II’s statue.
26. Which word can best describe the GEM
A．Cheap. B．Controversial. C．Old. D．Specialized.
27. Where is this text most likely from
A．A culture report. B．A travel guidebook. C．A history textbook. D．A fashion magazine.
C
For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults.
On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. They jog a mile to reach the site, using digging and lifting as their workout. GoodGym operates across England and Wales, with over 26,600 members participating in weekly meetings. Activities range from planting trees and clearing sidewalks to setting up beds for homeless people. Members report that committing to these projects motivates them to exercise regularly.
“I go to the normal gym usually and I do other sorts of exercise, but this is my fixed once-a-week run with the GoodGym group,” said Jason Kurtis, 42, who was among the regulars working in the south London garden. “It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter.”
The idea began in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley, missing team sports and disliking gyms, started running to deliver a newspaper to an older neighbor. He began organizing group runs to help with local projects, and GoodGym grew into a registered charity. The model proved popular, expanding to numerous cities as it addressed both community needs and individuals’ desire for purposeful exercise.
Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. These findings could help shape future public health policies.
GoodGym removes typical barriers to exercise: there is no required fee or pressure to attend. As Gormley says, it’s a simple way to get involved — people can join a session with little commitment. By turning community service into a workout, GoodGym makes fitness socially meaningful and accessible to all.
28. What do GoodGym volunteers do on the cold evening in London
A．Sell tickets for community events. B．Run on treadmills for a long time. C．Do garden work on the rooftop. D．Build new houses for the homeless.
29. What is Jason Kurtis’ attitude towards GoodGym
A．Doubtful. B．Favorable. C．Uninterested. D．Critical.
30. What can we learn from the research
A．Combined activities bring more benefits. B．Exercise alone greatly reduces loneliness. C．Playing games boosts life satisfaction. D．Public health policies have been changed.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a new fitness model. B．To advertise traditional gym services. C．To compare exercise and volunteering. D．To explain ways to improve mental health.
D
“Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation where an estimated 42% of GDP and 70% of employment rely on nature-dependent sectors like tourism and agriculture. It also warns against biodiversity loss — a major threat to Kenyan communities.
Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. In response, the country has developed an innovative approach that integrates science, policy, and business while empowering local communities. These efforts offer a valuable example for other nations globally.
Kenya is currently updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to fit the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF sets ambitious 2030 targets to conserve ecosystems, address biodiversity loss, and integrate nature into economic planning. With only four years left until the deadline, countries must ensure their NBSAPs are practical and effective.
“Updating an NBSAP is complex,” says Doreen Robinson of UNEP. “But the real test is uniting government and society to turn policy into action. Kenya has created a mechanism to achieve exactly that.”
This mechanism is Kenya’s National Biodiversity Coordination Mechanism (NBCM). Launched in August 2024 and led by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, it moves beyond treating biodiversity as a single ministry’s concern. Instead, it promotes a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach. The NBCM brings together ministries, county governments, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth, researchers, and the private sector onto one platform. It matches national goals with global frameworks, enables cross-sector collaboration, empowers non-state actors to contribute solutions, and improves monitoring through more consistent information systems.
This inclusive model is gaining international attention as a best practice for operationalizing broad collaboration in conservation. It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850.
By coordinating action across society, Kenya is working to ensure that the earth “loaned by its children” is preserved for generations to come.
32. What is the function of the Kenyan saying in paragraph 1
A．To offer a solution to poverty. B．To stress the importance of tourism. C．To show cultural charm of Kenya. D．To introduce the topic of the text.
33. What problem has Kenya faced
A．Failure of policy-making. B．Weak global cooperation mechanism. C．Significant decline in species. D．Poor monitoring of information systems.
34. What does the underlined word “tangible” probably mean
A．Unclear and unnoticeable. B．Practical and observable. C．Complex and unachievable. D．Imaginary and unrealistic.
35. What is the best title for the text
A．Global Targets for Ecosystem Protection B．The Importance of Nature-dependent Sectors C．The Growth of Elephant Population in Kenya D．Kenya’s Efforts in Biodiversity Conservation

六、书面表达（读后续写）
67. 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。词数150个左右。
Three weeks ago, at the age of 15, I moved to a small New York town with my dad — he’d gotten a new job at an engineering firm, so we had to leave our old neighborhood, our favorite diner, and even my childhood music corner behind.
At my new school, everything felt like an unsolvable puzzle: the winding hallways made me late for class twice, classmates grouped together, chatting about inside jokes that went over my head, and the cafeteria served tuna sandwiches that tasted nothing like my mom’s homemade ones. I’d sit alone at the back table, picking at my food while watching others laugh, hoping someone might wave me over — but no one ever did.
Every morning, I got myself out of bed, staring at the unpacked boxes in my room and not looking forward to the day ahead. I’d walk into class, keep my eyes fixed on my desk, and never raise my hand — afraid that if I spoke, everyone would notice how “new” I was and how I didn’t belong. “It’s like I’m standing in a room with the lights off,” I said to my dad over dinner one night. “I just don’t know how to fit here.” School felt endless and lonely — until Dr. V came to the school two weeks later to teach choir (合唱课).
Dr. V didn’t make me feel like an outsider. In his first class, he handed me a sheet of folk songs — “Hope you love these,” he said with a smile — and saved a seat near the piano where I could easily follow the music. When the bell rang that Thursday, I stayed behind, folding my sheet music (乐谱) slowly. I didn’t want to head home to our empty living room, where the quiet felt like a reminder that nothing was “normal” yet.
The choir room’s double doors were next to the piano, where Dr. V was putting his music stand into a closet. As I walked toward the exit, Dr. V stood up. He didn’t say a word at first — just looking at me as if he could see the loneliness behind my eyes.
Before I could say a quick “goodbye”, Dr. V said to me, “Just a second.”
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
When I got home, Dr. V’s words were still ringing in my ears.

Before I could say a quick “goodbye”, Dr. V said to me, “Just a second.” He gently told me that he noticed I felt lonely and uneasy at the new school. He encouraged me to take part in more group activities and join the choir actively. Music could connect people and help me make new friends. He also invited me to stay for extra practice after class if I liked. His warm words touched me deeply.
When I got home, Dr. V’s words were still ringing in my ears. I became hopeful and determined to change myself. From then on, I threw myself into choir practice. Gradually, I made friends with my teammates. I no longer felt lonely and finally fitted in the new school. I realized that a little kindness could light up one’s whole world.
