Master Gardener Volunteers Wanted
Why Become a Master Gardener
The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization where you can
develop your own leadership and teaching skills while teaching the younger youth about
healthy eating, agriculture, and so on! Master Gardeners involve people in activities to
improve their general well-being and overall enjoyment of life by helping them find
sound management practices for home and urban natural resources, by creating pleasing
environments through people-plant interactions and horticultural therapy(园艺疗法),
and by contributing to a safe, abundant food supply through home fruit and vegetable
production.
What Qualifications Must You Meet
Anyone can apply to be a Master Gardener–you don’t need to be an expert or have
a degree. You do, however, need to:
●Have certain experience or know a little about gardening or landscape
management.
●Be willing to share horticulture information with others.
●Be willing to attend a training program and can devote time to volunteering and
continuing education.
Besides, to become a Master Gardener volunteer, each applicant needs to complete
an application, prepare background screening paperwork and schedule an interview with
Extension staff.
What Does the Training Involve
Training sessions are offered one day a week over a three-month period and are led
by expert educators in the region. Approximately 60 hours of classroom instruction and
field study and 60 hours of volunteer internship(实习) work are required to complete
the program and become certified. In order to remain a certified Master Gardener, 30
hours of volunteer work and 10 hours of continuing education or advanced training are
required each year.

At 1:43 a.m. October 5, 2022, Stanford chemist Carolyn R. Bertozzi was awakened
by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative who told her, “You have 50
minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.” Instructed not to share the
announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person Bertozzi called was
her father, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just
overjoyed,” said Bertozzi.
Carolyn Bertozzi, born October 10, 1966, Boston, was awarded the Nobel Prize in
chemistry for her development of bioorthogonal reactions, which allow scientists to
explore cells and track biological processes without disturbing the normal chemistry of
the cell. She shares the $10 million Swedish kronor (about $1 million USD) prize
equally with Morten Meldal, professor at University of Copenhagen and K. Barry
Sharpless, professor at Scripps Research “for the development of click chemistry and
bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Carolyn received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Harvard University in
1988 and a doctorate in the same subject from the University of California, Berkeley in
1993. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, from
1993 to 1995. She became an assistant professor at Berkeley in 1996 and a full professor
of chemistry and molecular and cell biology in 2002. She also held an appointment as a
professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology from 2000 to 2002 at the University
of California, San Francisco. In 2015 she became a professor of chemistry at Stanford
University.
“I could not be more delighted that Carolyn Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in
chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of
bioorthogonal chemistry, Carolyn invented a new way of studying biomolecular
processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain a deeper understanding
of chemical reactions in living systems. Her work has had remarkable real-world impact,
providing new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treat disease. Carolyn is so
deserving of this honor, and all of us at Stanford are too proud to call her one of our
own.”
Carolyn’s bioorthogonal reactions have been used to study how cells build proteins
and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials
for energy storage, among many other applications.
24. Why does the author mention the phone call Carolyn received in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the background information of Carolyn.
B. To reveal a conversation between two scientists.
C. To arouse the readers’ interest in the passage.
D. To show the urgency about the information.
25. What can we learn about Carolyn from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. Her education and success. B. Her delight and pride.
C. Her kindness and devotion. D. Her dream and ambition.
26. What can we infer from Marc Tessier-Lavigne’s words
A. He wants to cooperate with Carolyn.
B. Carolyn has found a new cure for cancer.
C. He benefits greatly from Carolyn’s findings.
D. Carolyn’s findings are of great significance.
27. What is the text
A. A profile. B. A news report. C. A journal. D. A book review.
C
Nowadays, bamboo growth cycles and the dietary needs of lemurs (狐猴) are out
of sync. Findings show rainfalls are changing annually. Over the past two years, there
has been a three-month delay in the rainy season and new tender shoots that lemurs
consume for nutrition are appearing in January and February—14 days after the first
rainfall, says Patricia Chapple Wright, a primatologist, anthropologist, and
conservationist at Stony Brook University. “Lemurs eat a food source that is very
adaptive,” Patricia Wright told PBS NewsHour. “It’s able to stand climate change, but
the lemurs, unfortunately, can't adapt quickly to this changed cycle.”
Since baby lemurs are born in November, the delayed rainy season is dangerously
affecting the survival of them for lack of nutrition available for both the mothers and
offspring. “This is why, for extreme feeding specialists like the greater bamboo lemur,
climate change can be an unknowing killer,” Wright says. “Making the lemurs rely on
bamboo stems(茎) for just a bit longer may be enough to tip the balance from existence
to extinction.” The lemurs’ highly specialized teeth are also similar to the pandas’ teeth.
Both are the mammals able to chew up stems. But this diet can’t last for more than a
season or two because the stems can wear away their teeth.
The researchers believe that climate change is affecting the lemurs. The fossil
record shows that the lemurs once lived throughout the island. Today, the mammals are
cornered on the eastern side, where the dry season at present is the shortest. And if
people continue the deforestation practice in the area, the lemurs will have nowhere to
go.
The situation is serious, so Wright and her colleagues plan to create bamboo
corridors within the rainforests, which will provide available bamboo to eat. They want
to work with local villagers to plant more bamboo and manage automatic watering
systems when dry seasons last long. They also want to build the local economy by
allowing people to harvest a part of bamboo while the rest remains with the lemurs, so
people will be interested. Wright’s conservation plans include moving lemurs back to
other places on the island as well.
28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Go with each other. B. Occur at different times.
C. Lead to a heated discussion. D. Call for effective protection.
29. Why will lemurs get hungry if the dry season continues
A. They may run out of bamboo.
B. They can’t adapt to the hot season.
C. They dislike the less delicious stems.
D. They can’t chew the stems for a long period.
30. What mainly caused the living area of lemurs to narrow
A. The climate change. B. Their teeth protection.
C. The decreasing forest. D. Their special dietary habits.
31. Which of the following may Wright approve of to protect lemurs
A. Shortening the dry season. B. Forbidding the cutting of bamboo.
C. Strengthening people’s motivation. D. Finding other islands for lemurs
to live on.
D
The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and
electricity, but that doesn’t mean it no longer has valuable uses. The team of King
Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is using coal for a new
economy.
The project is led by Associate Professor Andrea Fratalocchi. While reading about
challenges of ending the use of coal in power generation, Fratalocchi was struck by a
novel possible use for coal. “ Why don’t we use coal for seawater desalination(脱盐) ”
Fratalocchi recalls, still excited. Capable of taking in sunlight, the black mineral adds to
the list of substances in dark colors serving the purpose, which the team is on a
long-standing hunt for.
Fralalocchi and his team began to explore the use of a material known as
carbonized compressed powder(压缩粉末), also CCP, which is created by breaking
coal into powder, and then pressing that powder back into a solid that has more tiny
holes—it can also be made into a desired shape. The team mixed CCP with natural
cotton fibers, producing a block which was then placed within a seawater-containing
container, with its bottom touching water surface. While sunlight heated the black
surface of the block, the inside fibers helped water flow in and through the block from
the bottom. When that liquid water reached the hot surface, it turned into steam which
rose and condensed(冷凝)on the inside of a specially shaped cover. That condensation
then flew down the cover and was collected as fresh, drinkable water. The seawater’s
salt content remained behind within the CCP. A simple wash was enough to remove
most of it, so the material could be reused multiple times.
KAUST has partnered with the Dutch start-up PERA Complexity to promote the
technology. The material will see its first use in a pilot plant in Brazil. “CCP is abundant
in nature and reasonable to use, besides being lightweight and highly changeable,” says
team member Marcella Bonifazi.” The device’s desalination rate per unit of raw material
is two to three times higher than that of any other solar desalination system, but it
produces fresh water at around one-third the expense of current state-of-the-art
technologies.
32. What has Fratalocchi’s team been seeking for
A. Fibers functioning well with CCP.
B. Green ways to desalinate seawater.
C. New industrial applications of coal.
D. Dark-colored materials for desalination.
33. How did the seawater get into the CCP block
A. Through the tiny holes. B. Through CCP.
C. Through cotton fibers. D. Through a special cover.
34. Which feature of CCP does Marcella Bonifazi stress
A. Being eco-friendly. B. Being low-cost.
C. Being efficient. D. Being flexible.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Drinkable water will be got from the sea.
B. CCP is expected to be in real-life use soon.
C. Coal finds new use in desalination technology.
D. Scientists have made a breakthrough in desalination.

两项为多余选项。
Searching for a new cat to add to your family If your home already has a cat, you
may wonder how your cat will welcome a new partner. 36 Continue reading for
tips on how to do that.
Your existing cat’s needs come first. 37 Does your cat prefer female cats
over male cats If he/ she enjoys the company of female cats, adopting a female cat can
help. If you adopt a young kitten as a companion for your older cat, it can work well as
kittens get along with a cat of any age.
Shower your existing cat with extra attention. Cats can be territorial when it comes
to their space; the same can be true for their owners as well. 38 Giving your cat
more hugs and care during the introduction of a new cat can help ease his/ her bad
feeling. This also helps your cat accept and trust the new one more quickly.
39 When you bring your new cat home, it’s best to keep the cats in
different rooms. This way they won’t try to defend their territory. Each should have their
own space with bowls and cat furniture so he/ she don’t feel the need to compete. And
do spend time with the new cat as he/ she can also be stressed in a new environment.
Introduce the new cat slowly. Your cats will have the chance to get used to each
other’s smell through the door. When they seem interested in meeting, you can bring
one into the other’s territory. 40 If you notice either of the cats getting
uncomfortable, separate them.
A. Separate the cats initially.
B. Make sure your cat feels at home.
C. Do this at least a few days after the new cat arrives.
D. Think about your existing cat’s personality and habits.
E. Your cat can get envious of a newcomer easily if feeling ignored.
F. Give both cats a special treat when they first meet to encourage peace.
G. There is a process to make the change less stressful for both you and the cats.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的
短文。
On a winter Sunday good for skiing, Sue arrived at their holiday chalet (棚屋)with
joy. Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis.
Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted, “Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big
smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was angrier.
The ski lift took all the skiers to the top of the mountain. The hard snow of the piste
(滑雪道)was below them. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she
didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy
and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s
good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction.
The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything.
On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift when their
teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday
on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste. Everybody wanted to win! They went up the
mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied
fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents.
It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry
and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and
Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s
skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝)on Sue’s ski was
loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s
skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed. They smiled knowingly at
each other.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited.
Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark made a mistake and fell down when Sue approached him.

第二节 (满分 25 分)
1. 阅读所给材料,理清文章大意:
本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 Sue 在滑雪时与 Mark 起了争执，Mark
非常生气。Sue 滑雪很棒，Mark 与好友 David 嫉妒 Sue。后来老师宣布
进行滑雪比赛，三个人成了强大的竞争对手。比赛前 Mark 和 David 注意
到 Sue 的滑雪板的螺丝松动了，他们认为他们一定会赢的比赛。
2. 详解首句信息，构思续写情节:
续写线索：比赛开始——Sue 停下修滑雪板——被超越，努力追赶——
帮助 Mark——赢得比赛——说出实情——原谅——成为朋友
①由第一段首句内容“比赛终于到了，每个人都很兴奋。”可知，第一段
可描写在滑雪的过程中，Sue 注意到螺丝松动了，停下来修理，然后努
力追赶，最后只有 Mark 在她前面了，Sue 努力追赶 Mark。
②由第二段首句内容“也许是感到内疚或紧张，马克犯了一个错误，当
苏接近他时摔倒了。”可知，第二段可描写 Sue 帮助了 Mark，最后赢得
了冠军，Mark 对 Sue 说出了实情，Sue 原谅了他们，最后他们成为了好
朋友。
One possible version:
Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited. With the referee
saying “Get set, go”, all skiers raced down. Unsurprisingly, Sue fell over seconds later.
Noticing the loose screw, she slid across the snow and off the piste. During this period,
David and Mark skied past. Mark shouted to David, “We’re going to win.” Luckily, it
was not a tough problem for Sue. She quickly tightened the screw, made an examination
of the rest and skied again. Minutes later, she was ahead of most competitors. Now, the
only one before her was Mark, whom she was determined to beat.（91words）
Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark made a mistake and fell down when Sue
approached him. Seeing Mark struggled to stand up, Sue stopped and gave him a pull.
Much astonished, Mark murmured, “Thank you.” Sue left with a wave of the hand.
Meanwhile, another two players passed by. Sue sped up with all her strength. Soon, she
crossed the finish line first to thunderous applause. “Congratulations!” Mark came to
Sue. “I should apologize for my words and behavior.” Knowing what had happened, Sue
was a little angry, but anyway, it was in the past. “Never mind. I’ve also learned the
lesson that examining my skis is necessary,” Sue joked, “And maybe we could ski
together later.” “Totally agree!”, Mark grinned broadly.(106 words)
