Fikrys ordinary-yet-extraordinary life, the author Gabielle Zevin has thrown every clichs(老生常谈) into the mix. The hero, AJ. Fikry, lost h

34、is beloved wife Nic in a road accident. The sales of his bookstore have been decreasing. The enthusiastic new sales representative Amelia wont stop annoying him with new books. His rare and very valuable first edition has gone missing. But the unexpected arrival of Maya left in his care brings about

35、 a series of events with love and hope to his life.There are few real surprises in the plot and attentive readers will be able to tell where the story is headed. But that is not the point; the clichs and the predictable plot take nothing away from Zevins work The Storied Life of AJ. Fikry because it

36、s how she tells the story that first charms the readers, then holds their attention, making them read the whole book in a single sitting and finally give the book a long hug when they are finished.

37、or a book and a note from AJ. Fikry describing what he likes about it, essentially introducing each character by what they read. The characters are so realistic that its hard not to fall in love with all of them: Maya, “the fantastic book-worm,” Amelia, “the giantess” with questionable taste in fash

38、ion, Lambiase, the adorable police chief, and AJ. Fikry, the reluctant hero who hates electronic reading devices that will “send centuries of a lively culture into what will surely be a rapid decline.”The passage of time, race issues, and the bureaucratic argument of childrens services are all put a

39、side in the telling of this story, not because theres anything to hide or because reality is not allowed to interfere, but because the author chooses to focus on the important stuff. For example, it focuses on Lambiase who organizes a reading club for policemen at the book store. His original intent

40、ion is to help promote business, but over the years he becomes a genuine book-lover, one who tends to always have simple advice for his cynical(愤世嫉俗的) friend, AJ. Fikry. “Bad timing,” Lambiase claims, “Ive been a police officer for twenty years now and Ill tell you pretty much every bad thing in lif

41、e is a result of bad timing, and every good thing is the result of good timing.”More than anything else, this novel is not only about the selling of them or the reading of them, but how books and stories become part of our lives, how we find ourselves within what we read and how we carry books with

42、us. It is also about the power of unexpected happiness and always believing that something wonderful is just around the corner. The Late Bloomer is the book within a book which brings together AJ. Fikry and Amelia. It reminds them that life doesnt follow a set script, things happen when they are mea

43、nt to happen, and there is no such thing as “too late” for anything. Life is the big picture. Always look at the big picture. Enjoy it. Dont get too concentrated on the details, because it will all be over before you know it. In the long run nobody, not even you, will remember the ordinary details b

44、ecause they are, in the end, quite irrelevant.AJ. Fikrys final words of wisdom to teen-aged Maya convey the same feelings in literary terms: “We are not quite novels. We are not quite short stories. In the end, we are collected works. We have read enough to know there are no collections where each s

47、 The Late Bloomer that brings AJ and Amelia together.DIt is important to do things on the basis of overall situation.5、The underlined sentence in the last paragraph most probably means _.Aour life is full of ups and downs Bwe should collect works all our lifeCour life is closely connected with books

48、 Dwe should read books all our life6、The passage is mainly about _.Athe extraordinary life of AJ. Fikry Bthe moral lesson of no “too late” in lifeCa comment on The Later Bloomer Da review of The Storied Life of AJ. Fikry25（10分）Ten minutes of gentle exercise can immediately change how certain parts o

49、f the brain communicate and coordinate (协调) with one another and improve memory function, according to an encouraging new study.The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or, on a separate visit, pedal the bicycle at a pac

50、e so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates. It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people completed a computerized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a var

51、iety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful

52、 scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this process-riding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then completing memory testing-but the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine(磁共振成像仪)that scanned the peoples br

53、ains while they responded to the images.Then the researchers compared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories

54、 had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each peoples brain lit up at the same time with parts of the brain associated with learning, indicating that these physically separate parts of the brain were better connected now than

55、 when the people had not first exercised.1、How did the researchers conduct the study?ABy filling up questionnaires.BBy interviewing many people.CBy comparing experiment data.DBy referring to historical reports.2、Who might benefit most from the study result?AThe marketers promoting fixed bicycles.BTh

57、 works.CThe exercise can coordinate different parts of the body.DThe exercise has more positive effect when the brain works harder.4、What can be the best title for the text?AEven ten minutes exercise may be good for the brainBThere is no need for humans doing exercise every dayCOnly ten minutes ligh
