2022年高考英语阅读专题练习：爱好（Hobbies） 一、阅读理解-阅读选择（共12小题；共90分） Here's a list of books I'm looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but it's an abundant crop. "Home After Dark" by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11) In 2017, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir (回忆录) called "Stitches". Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3p.m, Small will be at Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www. amazon. com/ graph-tale. "Waiting for Eden" by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25) This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation.

"All You Can Ever Know" by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2) Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. More information at www. amazon. com/ politics-prose. "Unsheltered" by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper, Oct. 16) Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. Visit www. amazon. com/ tech-science for more information. 1.
