　　Ⅱ. 閱讀理解

　　(2024·嘉興二模)

　　To honor the best books for young adults and children, TIME has created this list of classics: Best Young-Adults and Children’s Books.

　　The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

　　Sherman Alexie’s coming-of-age novel shows family and traditions through young Arnold Spirit, torn between his life in an Indian community and his largely white high school. The specifics are sharply drawn, but this novel, with its themes of self-discovery, speaks to young readers everywhere.

　　Harry Potter

　　What more can be said about J. K. Rowling’s unique series? How about this: seven years after the final book was published, readers young and old still go crazy at the slightest rumor of a new Potter story.

　　The Book Thief

　　For many young readers, Markus Zusak’s novel provides their first in-depth reflection of the Holocaust(大屠殺). Although terror surrounds Liesel, a young German girl, so too does evidence of friendship, love and charity—recovering lights in the darkness.

　　A Wrinkle in Time

　　Madeleine L’Engle’s super-realist adventure has provided generations of children with their first-ever exciting experiences, as Meg travels across the fifth dimension(維度)in search of her father. But the science fiction also has a message: Meg learns independence and bravery in the process.

　　Charlotte’s Web

　　Readers are still drawn to the simplicity and beauty of spider Charlotte’s devotion to her pig friend Wilbur. Though family farms may be less common than they were in 1952, E. B. White’s novel remains timeless for its lasting reflection on the power of friendship and of good writing.

　　Holes

　　Louis Sachar’s story of a family curse(詛咒), fancy sports shoes and poisonous lizards moves forward and backward through time, telling of how Stanley Yelnats IV ended up in a prison camp. It’s an introduction to a complex story, filled with fun, warmth and a truly memorable criminal.

　　Matilda

　　With apologies to the lovable Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this may be Roald Dahl’s most inspiring book for young people. Poor Matilda feels troubled and ignored by her family—a sense that many preteens share. They don’t share her supernatural powers, but that’s the lasting appeal of this escapist fun.

　　The Outsiders

　　Published when author S. E. Hinton was just 18, this coming-of-age novel offers evidence that even the youngest writer can provide valuable wisdom. Her striking look at Ponyboy and gang life in the 1960s has continued to have a powerful effect for decades on readers of all kinds, whether they identify more with the Greasers or the Socs.

　　The Phantom Tollbooth

　　In a humorous, sharp fairy tale(童話故事)that shows language and mathematics through a story of adventure in the Kingdom of Wisdom, Jules Feiffer’s unusual drawings do as much as Norton Juster’s plain language combined with complex ideas to carry readers through Digitopolis and the Mountains of Ignorance.

　　The Giver

　　Lois Lowry’s tale of self-discovery in society has a memorable central character, Jonas, and an unforgettable message—that pain and harm have an important place in individual lives and in society, and to forget them is to lose what makes us human.

　　【文章大意】本文主要介紹了目前在青少年中最暢銷的10本書的主要內容。

　　2. According to the passage, The Phantom Tollbooth______.

　　(2024·嘉興二模)

　　Elderly women who eat foods higher in potassium(鉀)are less likely to have strokes and die than women who eat less potassium-rich foods, according to a new research in the American Heart Association. “Previous studies have shown that potassium consumption may lower blood pressure. But whether potassium intake could prevent stroke(中風)or death wasn’t clear, ”said Smoller, professor of the department of population health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.

　　Researchers studied 90, 137 women, aged from 50 to 79 on average for 11 years. They looked at how much potassium the women consumed, as well as if they had strokes, including ischemic strokes(缺血性中風), or died during the study period. Women in the study were stroke-free at the start and their average dietary potassium intake was 2, 611 mg/day. Results of this study are based on potassium from food, not supplements.

　　The researchers found: Women who ate the most potassium were 12 percent less likely to suffer stroke in general and 16 percent less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke than women who ate the least. Women who ate the most potassium were 10 percent less likely to die than those who ate the least. Among women who did not have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 27 percent lower ischemic stroke risk and 21 percent reduced risk for all stroke types, compared to women who ate the least potassium in their daily diets. Among women with high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a lower risk of death, but potassium intake did not lower their stroke risk.

　　“Our findings suggest that women need to eat more potassium-rich foods. You won’t find high potassium in junk food. Some foods rich in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans. ”

　　The U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends that women eat at least 4, 700 mg of potassium daily. “Only 2. 8 percent of women in our study met or went beyond this level. The World Health Organization’s daily potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3, 510 mg or more. Still, only 16. 6 percent of women we studied met or went beyond that, ”said Smoller.

　　While increasing potassium intake is probably a good idea for most elderly women, there are some people who have too much potassium in their blood, which can be dangerous to the heart. “People should check with their doctor about how much potassium they should eat, ”she said.

　　The study was observational and included only elderly women. Researchers also did not take sodium(鈉)intake into consideration, so the potential importance of a balance between sodium and potassium is not among the findings. Researchers said more studies are needed to determine whether potassium has the same effects on men and younger women.

　　【文章大意】本文講的是鉀的攝入對老年婦女來說是好的, 可以減少患許多疾病的風險。

　　5. Which of the following figures meets the daily potassium intake recommendation of the World Health Organization?

　　A. 4, 000 mg.

　　B. 3, 500 mg.

　　C. 3, 000 mg.

　　D. 2, 500 mg.

　　【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第三段第三句話The World Health Organization’s daily potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3, 510 mg or more. 可知。

　　6. What conclusion can be drawn from the research findings?

　　A. Increasing potassium is definitely a good idea for all elderly women.

　　B. Elderly women with high blood pressure benefit more from potassium.

　　C. Potassium intake is more beneficial to those without high blood pressure.

　　D. There was not any association between potassium intake and ischemic strokes.
