If you missed the best books last year, there’s time to catch up between new releases.
Four Hundred Souls
A unique collection, Four Hundred Souls is a new way to learn history. Ninety African
American writers each wrote the 400-year history using a five-year period. Each writer chose their
own method ranging from short stories to sharp arguments. The works were edited by X. Kendi
and N. Blain. Read together, it’s a story of history from 1619 told through varying perspectives
and styles.
Set Boundaries, Find Peace
From the desk of licensed consultant and relationship expert Tawwab, Set Boundaries, Find
Peace should be required reading for every people-pleaser. The guide defines the term “healthy
boundaries” within the context of real communication and backed by research and best practices
in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法 ). It is a must-read for the overburdened work-
from-home employees always working.
Harlem Shuffle
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Whitehead, Harlem Shuffle is a historical fiction novel
set in 1960s Harlem. The initial impression is a crime novel against the background of historic
New York City. But as the pages turn, the underlying family story reveals commentary on morality
and social power. With the pace of a crime novel and the depth of a psychology essay, it’s a book
that’s sure to keep you going once you get into it.
The Other Black Girl
With a television adaptation with Hulu already signed, The Other Black Girl, the first novel
from New York author Harris, is set in a shared workplace where two black colleagues face
increasingly tense conditions that rapidly threaten more than their careers. The work is quick-
paced and surprising the entire way with dark comedy about workplace politics.

At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y. M. C. A. offering exactly the
opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each
drowning in the river. But the Y. M. C. A. pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to
the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait
for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked " With that
he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed
water. But I was not frightened out of my wits--when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big
jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I
landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw
nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed
with me as the years rolled by. It deprived（剥夺）me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally,
I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the
instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return.
When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I
laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me "
I had conquered my fear of water.
4. The author's original fear of water was caused by__________.
A. his poor skill in swimming
B. his mother's warning of drowning
C. an outing to the beach with his father
D. an unpleasant memory of the pool
5. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water

B. He felt that the Y. M. C. A. pool was safe.
C. He was waiting for others to save him.
D. He came up with an idea to go upwards.

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center mapped brain changes
after a year of aerobic workouts（有氧运动） and uncovered a potentially significant process:
Exercise increases blood flow into two key areas of the brain associated with memory.
The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, showed this blood flow can help
even older people with memory issues improve cognition, a finding that could guide future
Alzheimer's disease research, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center.
In the study, researchers followed 30 participants who were 60 or older and had memory
problems. Half experienced a year of aerobic exercise while the other half did stretches. “We've
shown that even when your memory starts to fade, you can still do something about it by adding
aerobic exercise to your lifestyle," said Binu Thomas, a senior research scientist of UT
Southwestern Medical Center who led the study. "The aerobic exercise group showed a 47%
improvement in some memory scores after a year; the other group showed slight change. Brain
imaging of the aerobic exercise group, taken while at rest at the beginning and end of the study,
showed increased blood flew into the specific brain areas that played important roles in memory
function."
Many teams across the world are trying to determine if aerobic exercise might fight memory
loss. Evidence is growing that it could at least play a small role in delaying or reducing the risk of
Alzheimer's disease. For example, a 2018 study showed that people with lower fitness levels
experienced faster retrogression of vital nerve fibers in the brain called white matter related to
memory.
“Blood flow in the brain connected with memory improvement is still a part of the puzzle,
and we need to continue piecing it together," Thomas says. "But we've seen enough date to know
that starting a fitness program can have lifelong benefits for our brains as well as our hearts."
8. What is the study mainly about
A. Old people have memory issues. B. Exercise improves memory.
C. Aerobic workouts benefit mental health. D. Alzheimer's disease can be cured.
9. What happened to participants after one-year aerobic exercise
A. Earlier memories were refreshed.
B. Memory scores showed very small change.
C. Brain imaging remained the same.
D. More blood flew into memory-related areas.
高二英语第一学期期中考试问卷 3
10. What does the underlined word “retrogression“ mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Growth. B. Recovery. C. Decline. D. Extension.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Further research work requires doing.
B. More people experience memory loss.
C. Mystery of brain blood flow has been solved.
D. Signs of memory loss can be discovered earlier.
D
With these increased pressures and difficulty in ensuring a graduate job, more people are
turning to recruitment (招聘) agencies for help. Luke Harper wrote for the Independent warning
students to be cautious when using graduate recruitment agencies in their job hunt. The article’s
main argument against graduate recruitment agencies is that they are looking to sign people up to
the agency and harvest data, without having any real intention to personally find them a job.
The fundamental problem with this approach is a basic misunderstanding of how the
recruitment sector works. One of the more common ways is that recruitment agencies aim to find
you a job to secure a fee from their clients. Recruitment agencies operate as a business, not a
careers service and are not expected to find you a job while you wait around.
There is no denying that amongst the recruitment agencies, there are some CV(简历) hungry,
cut and shut agencies that are uninterested in the candidates they have on their books. However,
nowadays these are in the minority and don’t tend to last very long.
Paul Farrer, Chief Executive of a leading recruitment agency is worried that a few bad apples
are ruining the reputation of what is an excellent sector. Farrer said “The trouble with such an
imbalanced and misleading article is that some graduates may now be put off approaching
recruitment agencies who may well be able to help them.”
Professionals in the industry are cautious of how some of the less respectable agencies
operate. Earnest recruiters believe that graduates should be aware that some of these agencies will
take on graduates for all their details rather than helping them find a job, like Harper mentioned.
To fight this, Farrar advises that “Graduates should have a simple checklist before approaching
any agency. Has the agency taken the time to talk to me Have they invited me to a face-to-face
meeting Have they guaranteed not to forward my CV to any employer without my permission
These three steps will safeguard every application.”
Farrer also pointed out that that is not the only safety net that graduates can rely on. He said
“Graduates can also check to see if the agencies are members of either APSCo or the REC, the
two trade bodies they can make an official complaint to. The vast majority of recruitment agencies
are professional organizations that help place thousands of graduates every year and poorly
researched articles help no one.”
12. The main purpose of this passage is ______ graduate recruitment agencies.
A. to advise readers to be cautious of
B. to argue against some misjudgment against
C. to explain why there is a prejudice against
高二英语第一学期期中考试问卷 4
D. to seek the solutions to the problems caused by
13. Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage
A. Luke Harper holds the same idea about jobs with Paul Farrer.
B. Recruitment agencies actually do the same work as a careers service.
C. Job hunters’ detailed information is of value to recruitment agencies.
D. Amember of APSCo or the REC will not cheat its clients.
14. What advice does Paul Farrer give graduates to avoid less respectable agencies
A. Consulting professionals before giving their personal details to an agency.
B. Making a face-to-face investigation into an agency before approaching it.
C. Guaranteeing that the agency will not forward their CV to any employer.
D. Selecting some agencies that are monitored by official trade bodies.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards graduate recruitment agencies
A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Not Clear.

interrupt them when it’s their tun to talk.

whisper the quietest at a cinema.
