Never Let Me Go is a novel by British author Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. It combines science fiction, horror, a
nd coming-of-age elements in a beautiful but cruel story, which deals with the power of friendship, the pains of growing up, and self-sacrifice in the face of a cruel situation.
The book centers on Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy, who tells the story. It describes their childhood at a strange boarding school called Hailsham House, where the children all have excellent medical care but a very low quality of life. The students and teachers also act very strangely. A frightening reality is revealed: The students are all “donors”—clones of other people—who were created to donate their organs once they grow up.
The novel Never Let Me Go is not the only one by Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. He has also written six other novels, a number of short stories, four screenplays, and a handful of song lyrics. His moving words are highly regarded by both readers and critics. He has been nominated (提名) for the well-known Man Booker Prize four times, and he won in 1989 with his novel, The Remains of the Day. In 2017, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Though Ishiguro has written screenplays, he was not the one who adapted Never Let Me Go into a film. The film version was released in 2010 and still stayed true to the novel. Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield played Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy.
I was on the whole a success with critics and was well-liked at film festivals around the world. The movie version, however, could not live up to the book in the end. Although audiences generally praised the movie and the actors’ performances, the film version did not reach the same level of success as the novel.
4. What makes the boarding school strange?
A．It is at a non-profit. B．It serves an immoral purpose.
C．The students have physical problems. D．The students are all from poor families.
5. What can we know about the film version of Never Let Me Go?
A．It differed from the novel. B．It was a screenplay adapted by Ishiguro.
C．It got much praise from the audience. D．It was more successful than the novel itself.
6. Which of the following best describes Ishiguro as a writer?
A．Humorous. B．Ambitious. C．Active. D．Productive.
7. What style is the text?
A．A news report. B．A book review. C．A children’s story.D．A diary entry.
For breeding (繁殖) birds, timing is everything. Most species have just a narrow window to get the food they need to feed chicks. Now, after analyzing data that span from 1975 to 2017, a science team suggests that as the climate warms, birds are not only breeding earlier, but their breeding windows are also narrowed—some by as many as 4 to 5 days.
On average, the beginnings and ends of the breeding periods are occurring earlier in the year. However, the ends are shifting back faster than the beginnings, resulting in an average breeding window that is 1.7 days shorter in 2017 than it was in 1975. During that same period, Finland’s average temperature rose by 0.8℃, suggesting many bird species are actively responding to changing temperatures, H?llfors, who led the team, says.
“It’s good for the species if it’s able to follow the optimum conditions as the climate changes,” she says. However, the shorter breeding windows mean more birds are breeding earlier in the season—a risky time for chicks’ survival, especially if the weather turns suddenly cold. In addition, because many late-season species are shifting their breeding windows up, that could mean more competition
for food and nesting sites early on, leaving some chicks to go hungry.
Lucyna Halupka, an ecologist at the University of Wroclaw, calls the study “a very important paper” because it’s one of the few ways to measure the breeding period duration. For 2 decades, she says, many scientists studying birds and climate change have looked only at the earliest, median (中间的), or mean laying dates for specific groups of birds. However, she reminds that because the study is limited to Finland, the findings may not apply universally; future studies should examine how breeding seasons move in other regions where the effect of climate change is different. They should also try to determine how shifting breeding windows affect population sizes, she says.

A．The weather in Finland becomes warmer.
B．It is becoming more difficult for birds to breed.
C．The birds in Finland spend fewer days breeding.

A．It is carried out in a different way.
B．It is helpful for people to protect the birds.
C．It opens a window for people to learn about these birds.
D．It demonstrates the living situation of the birds on earth.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A．Scientists Revealed the Secrets of Birds’ Breeding
B．Scientists Take Steps to Protect the Birds in the Wild

After limiting the screen time, the minors in China are prohibited against getting tattooed (文身) now.
According to the guideline, which came out on June 6th, 2022, any enterprise, organization and individuals should be stopped from providing inking services. The guideline also prohibits “encouraging or forcing” children into getting tattoos, while encouraging parents to advise their children against getting tattooed.
“All agencies that provide tattooing services should clearly display signs refusing minors, and ask customers to show their IDs if it’s hard to judge their age based on their appearance,” the guideline said.
Tattoo culture has gained popularity especially among the country’s youth in recent years. They regard it as a form of fashion and self expression. However, tattoos haven’t been widely accepted in the society and they might have a bad influence on people in some situations.
Amanla, a tattoo artist in the southwestern Yunnan Province, said he agreed with the ban. He said, “Protection is necessary. But more deeply, it’s also disrespectful for people to do something merely to be cool without knowing what they really want or understanding the pattern being drawn on their body.”
In recent years, several regions have issued local regulations banning tattoo services for children. In June of last year, a court in the eastern Jiangsu Province ordered a tattoo shop to stop tattooing minors after being accused of using ink containing harmful pigments (素).
Yuan Ningning, a legal advisor specializing in family education law, said that the working guideline has cleared up the responsibilities between different regulators and called for more education and specific punishments.
“The central government has already formed a consensu s (共识),” Yuan said. “But it takes a learning process among the local authorities for the guideline to be effective. That’s the first and a very crucial step.”
12. What should the tattoo shops do according to the regulation?
A．Refuse to serve the minors. B．Offer quality service for teenagers. C．Ask the minors’ parents for advice.D．Keep the minors safe while tattooing. 13. What does paragraph 4 tell us about tattoo?
A．Tattooing has a long history in China.
B．The society has been influenced by tattooing.
C．Young people are more interested in tattooing.
D．Tattooing helps people do their work better.
14. Which of the following might Amanla agree with?
A．Tattoos are not for everyone.
B．Tattooing for minors must be punished.
C．We should learn about tattoos before getting one.
D．It is not easy for the regulation to be put into practice.
15. What can be inferred about the guideline?
A．Those who break the rules will be punished.
B．It has got wide recognition among the public.
C．Educators play a key role in carrying out the rules.
D．It is a long way for the guideline to make a difference.

When I was young, I was a terribly shy girl in regular classes. I always sat in the back of the classroom.    16    Each Monday I would work my way to the back of the line forming at the diving board to avoid being called to practice the dives.
However, the day of our diving test came finally. My blood ran cold when the teacher announced we would be graded for our final on the most difficult dive—the jackknife (屈体跳水).    17    As I watched, each student seemed to perform the challenging dive effortlessly, and shortly I would have to attempt something I’d never
