It offers distraction and entertainment. But it can also be something more powerfula way to learn about how to live. Just read at the right moment in your life, and a novel can change it.The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. It is regarded as a grand display of literary fiction and a celebration of the possibilities of the novel. To create this apothecary（药房）, the authors have searched through two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity（神志清醒）, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction.The authors, Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin began giving novels to each other whenever one of them seemed in need of a push. In 2008 they set up a bibliotherapy service through a cultural enterprise, and since then have been prescribing books to customers all over the world.Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you are not brave enough? Pick up To Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden fear of death? Read One Thousand Years of Solitude for some understanding on the larger cycle of life. Whatever your condition is, the treatment is simple: a novel (or two), to be read regularly. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer comfort, showing that you are not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also filled with useful lists recommending the best novels to read when you are stuck in traffic or cant fall asleep, the most important novels to read throughout your life.Brilliant in concepts, The Novel Cure belongs on everyones bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction lover pick up a novel hes never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly.it will reaffirm literatures ability to distract and transport, to resonate（共鸣）and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it.1、What does the “power” in paragraph 2 refer to?AThe power of the novelist to transmit a story to the reader.BThe power of the novel to distract and entertain the reader.CThe power of the novel to create so many treatment for the reader.DThe power of the novel to tell us how to live and change our lives.2、According to the passage, what do you think is “Bibliotherapy”?AA treatment that helps you to find the meaning of life.BA method that makes you to resonate with the characters in the novel.CA treatment that requires you to stay in the bookshop and to read many books.DA method to address your physical or psychological problems by reading certain books.3、According to the passage, which of the following statements in TRUE about The Novel Cure?AIt is hard for bookworm to find the book appealing.BIts authors must have scanned numerous literature works.CAll of the novels prescribed in it can offer you a complete cureDIt divides our pains into pains of the body and pains of the head.4、You can find the article on all of the following websites EXCEPT _A Bhttp:/ Chttp:/ Dhttp:/ 23（8分）Everest121min Adventure/Biography/DramaStoryline: A group of climbers start their final climb to the summit of Mount Everest，the highest point on Earth.

The collection, Birds in the Mouth, has been translated and published by Shanghai-based publisher Reader.“Sometimes I hold the Chinese edition and choose a story at random and try to guess which one it is. But it is almost impossible for me; even the length is different.” says Schweblin. “When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation. But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.”Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous Latin-American novelists.Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The stranger and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.”Birds in the Mouth tells of a divorced father who worries about his 13-year-old daughter and her mysterious appetites. It turns out that his daughter eats live birds.The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet, “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes. Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down” recalls Schweblin.Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblins stories, she skillfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.1、Samanta Schweblin came to China to _.Apay a visit to BeijingBtranslate her stories into ChineseChelp to make her book more popularDpublish her collection2、When mentioning her Chinese edition, Schweblin thinks _.Ashe suffers some doubt about the quality of the translationBher Chinese edition is slightly different from the original oneCshe can understand some parts of her Chinese editionDshe has a strong belief in her Chinese edition3、From the passage we can tell, the author _.Ahas an appetite for writing something extraordinaryBgot the idea of her story Birds in the Mouth by designCtried to quit describing violent and bloody scenes in her storyDthinks her writing style is mainly affected by some famous native novelists4、We can probably read the passage in _.Aa textbookBa newspaperCa reportDa science fiction25（10分） When Katie Stagliano was 9 years old, she was given a class project to grow her first cabbage from just one seed.
