While there are plenty of authors who seem to be paid by the word and are only concerned with expanding volume, there are many authors producing fantastic

11、works that are worthy of the word literature. While there were many worthy competitors, here are what we consider to be the great work of the greatest fantasy series of all time.1. The Dark Tower by Stephen KingThe Dark Tower actually shares some similarities with The Wheel of Time. In both series t

12、he first four books are the strongest, and you also get the sense with both Robert Jordan and Stephen King that they didnt quite know how to end their creation, which led to a very controversial ending in The Dark Towers case along with some questionable decisions by King like his self-insertion in

13、the story.King has created one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time in the Gunslinger Roland and the world he creates, with all of its similarities to our reality, is a prosperous one. Its too bad that Stephen King doesnt dabble(涉猎) more in fantasy, because he clearly has a talent for w

14、orld building. Not to mention everything he writes seems to be phone book sized, which would fit right in with the fantasy genre.2. Harry Potter by J.K. RowlingWhen considering a ranking of the greatest fantasy series of all time, the question of Harry Potter is a tricky one. Theres inevitably oppos

15、ition when something is as popular as Rowlings work, and add to that the fact that the series is seemingly meant for children and you have a case that naturally inspires a lot of debate. Im not sure I believe Rowling did anything particularly new with Harry Potter, but a work doesnt necessarily have

16、 to be innovative for it to be great. Nearly every fantasy series owes a debt to Tolkien for instance, but that doesnt mean Tolkien has written the only work of fantasy that matters. Rowling didnt really come up with anything new, but the connection she made with tens of millions of readers is prais

17、eworthy. People will be reading Harry Potter for decades to come, and Im not sure a better introduction to fantasy could be found.1、What do we know about the two books?AKings work The Wheel of Time has a controversial ending.BPeople have debate on J.K. Rowlings book because of her innovation.CKing i

18、s blessed with a gift for world building.DTolkien has a great influence on J.K. Rowling.2、The passage is most probably taken from _.Aa news reportBa book reviewCa history bookDa research paper22（8分）Researchers with the University of Cambridge say they have the first real evidence of a new state of m

19、atter, some 40 years after it was first theorized.Known as “quantum spin liquid(量子旋转水)”, the matter state causes normally unbreakable electrons to break into pieces called “Majorana fermions.” These fermions are an important discovery. Physicists believe the material is vital to further develop quan

20、tum computing. Computers employing Majorana femuons would be able to carry out calculations beyond the scale of modern computers quickly, they say.Quantum spin liquid explains some of the eccentric behaviors inside magnetic(磁性的) materials. In these materials, the electrons should behave like small b

21、ar magnets, all adjusting towards magnetic north when a material is cooled. But not all magnetic materials do thisif the material contains quantum spin liquid, the electrons dont all line up and become involved.“Until recently, we didnt even know what the experimental fingerprints of a quantum spin

22、liquid would look like,” researcher Dr.Dmitry Kovrizhin says. “That created a challenge for the researchers, so they decided to employ neutron scattering(神经扫描) techniques to look for evidence of break”. What they found surprised them. The features matched nearly exactly with quantum spin liquid mode

23、ls theorized by physicist Phil Anderson in 1973. The results of their breakthrough were then published in the scientific journal Nature Materials on Monday.Dont get too excited just yet on its applications, though. Kovirzhins work is only the beginning and as weve seen with quantum computing there i

24、s a lot of work to be done. But its still exciting regardless.“Its an important step for our understanding of quantum matter,” Kovrizhin says. “Its fun to have another new quantum state that weve never seen beforeit presents us with new possibilities to try new things.”1、What can we learn about “Maj

41、d earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents quality of life and wellbeing.The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected about moving back homethe shame is reduced as so many of their peers are

42、in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found.Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely du

43、ration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for the

44、ir children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder.“However”, the study says, “day-to-day tensions abou
