As the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause, baby, now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love.” It’s a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born
with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old, Barnard was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamon Blackfin Anemia, or DBA, and she spent
most of her life in and out of the hospital. The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we’ve
tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait, Barnard got her own match — through her own foundation. But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid. The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma. She received
surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was difficult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “My survival instinct (本能) just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that
I wanted to be at my sister’s future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again,” she said.
Her survival instinct — combined with Taylor Swift-helped her through her operation, where doctors cut her
cancer out, and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.

Fran oise Malby-Anthony, a city girl, a Parisian through and through, could tell the quickest way to the Eiffel Tower but knew nothing about animals. Yet somewhere deep inside, she always felt she would end up in a foreign
country.
It was her husband Lawrence Anthony, a South African, who brought out the wanderlust in her. They met in London in 1987, and a year later they moved to South Africa, where they were drawn by nature and eventually bought Thula Thula — a game reserve of river and 1,500 hectares of rolling hills. They were soon working to save an abundance of wild animals, especially elephants and rhinos, from the poachers and hunters who roamed for fun and profit. They also employed some locals, and taught them about office work, dealing with guests and cooking
French dishes.
Last March, however, Lawrence died of a sudden heart attack. And there Francoise was, alone, burying her

In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire
Service. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen
another woman in her role — not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too,
could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centers. Over the course of eight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of
being first responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench (长椅) for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the
Kids Help Phone.
Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in
2023.
9 ．What was probably Speranza’s wish in 2001
A ．To see more female firefighters.

I had always dreamed of living and working in New York, which promised endless opportunities. But as soon
as I arrived, I realized that my journey was going to be filled with countless setbacks and challenges.
My first major failure came when I landed my dream job at a famous company. However, after just a few
months, I was let go due to budget cuts. I was shocked and felt like all of my hard work had been for nothing.
Determined to bounce back, I applied for a new job at another company. This time, things seemed to be going better. I was making progress and gaining valuable experience, but then I was suddenly laid off again due to
company restructuring.
Feeling defeated and hopeless, I decided to take a break from the job search and focus on self-improvement. I enrolled in courses and attended workshops to learn new skills and expand my knowledge. But even with all of this
effort, I still couldn’t find the right job.
One day, while searching online job listings, I found an opportunity that seemed too good to be true. It was a remote position that offered a competitive salary and flexible hours. Without hesitation, I applied and was thrilled
when I received an offer letter.
However, as soon as I started working remotely, I realized that it wasn’t the same as being in an office with colleagues ( 同 事) around me. I struggled to communicate effectively and found it difficult to stay motivated
without the support of my team.
Despite these challenges, I refused to give up. I reached out to my colleagues and tried to build relationships with them through virtual meetings and social media. With their help and encouragement, I was able to adapt to the new environment and excel in my role. Looking back on my journey, I realized that success is not about avoiding failure, but rather about learning from it and persevering through the tough times. I encouraged others who may be facing similar challenges in their own careers to never give up on their dreams and to keep pushing forward even
when things get tough.

7.（广东省广州市南沙区 2023 年高三试题）
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce
the sound of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just
the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count
to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by
heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same ” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different ” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing
relationnships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word
“green”。
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the
mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
25 ．Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird
A ．A bird with a small brain was needed.
B ．She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C ．A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D ．The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
26 ．What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first
A ．Innovative.
B ．Practical.
C ．Costly.
D ．Fruitless.
27 ．Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on
A ．Understanding concepts.
B ．Calculating.
C ．Recognizing voices.
D ．Creating English words.
28 ．What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study
A ．Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B ．Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C ．Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.
D ．She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.

One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games.
And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks.
One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin Williams - an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay pletely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up
the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself.
I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to
come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”
So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’ re having an improv comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class. “Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked
to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class.
When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.“ Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!”“ Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit( 滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he
prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t mustered up the courage to
ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience.

Life finds me on the Isle of Islay, Queen of the Hebrides. I am the warden( 管理员) of The Oa Reserve, a
2,1oo-hectate nature reserve and working farm owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
It was always a dream of mine to live in Scotland. The friendly nature of the island communities, the landscape, beautiful coastlines and above all--the wildlife. The amazing wildlife. So, here I am: living and working
on the west coast of Scotland in a dream job. But, things weren’t always this way.
My school life never really amounted to much. I didn’t go on to higher education and my early working life was sloppy (马虎的), at best. Much of this was due to my disinterest in the work I was doing. I worked in factories, shops, warehouses and even a castle. I was always unsettled and uninspired. I never knew how to channel my
interest and passion for nature into a paying job. Wildlife and nature had been part of my life since my youth. I
remember my childhood with great fondness: I would read bird books, paint fact files for each species and get lost
in the natural world.
In 2014, the opportunity I so badly needed finally appeared a paid training with Durham Wildlife Trust. I was given all the basic skills and training for habitat control, wildlife surveys and ground management works. In October 2015, I became the reserve warden for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), where I stayed for just under half a decade. As happy as I was, new opportunities dared me to dream even bigger. The time had come
to take my next step, to continue to grow within my career.
So, this is where I am now: living in the middle of a nature reserve, with golden eagles, red deer and hen
harriers as neighbors. I feel as if I’m the luckiest man alive.

As my head moved up and down on the Zoom screen, private messages poured in from my colleagues: “What are you doing there ” “Are you sitting on a ball ” “Are you walking ” I could feel their eyes on me — inquiring,
interested, confused. Clearly, this wasn’t a normal faculty meeting. I replied I was walking on my new under desk
treadmill (跑步机).
I didn’t have to worry about workday inactivity earlier in my career. As a graduate student and postdoc, I went on frequent field excursions to collect soil samples in remote places. The fieldwork was physically challenging, a contrast to the lab tasks and desk work that were also part of my job. But when I became a professor, fieldwork
became a rarity.
During the pandemic the situation grew worse. My schedule filled up with one online meeting or seminar after the next. And I “traveled” to them without leaving my desk. Although I had the luxury of a height-adjustable desk,
which gave me the option to stand, I still felt unbalanced, and I began to experience back pain.
At home, I’d occasionally tried to work on my wife’s treadmill, which I’d repurposed by putting a wooden board across the handles and my laptop on top. I thought that might be just what I needed in my campus office, so I bought a treadmill designed to go under a desk. I decided to spend my entire workday on the treadmill. It took me
several days to adjust, but I eventually got the hang of typing and speaking while walking.
When I’m at my desk, I spend nearly all of my working hours in motion. In the first couple of weeks, I was a bit exhausted when I got home at night. But over time, I developed more endurance. My back pain disappeared and
I came to enjoy the time at my desk.
Most of the scientists I work with have sent me reassuring feedback. Some have even bought treadmills of their own. That has made me view my walking as a way to silently communicate a crucial message to my
colleagues: There’re always ways to stay active if you want!
41 ．How did the author begin the writing of the text
A ．By introducing some of his colleagues.
B ．By showing his academic qualifications.
C ．By displaying his new under desk treadmill.
D ．By listing private messages from his colleagues.
42 ．What resulted in the author’s worse inactivity
A ．Frequent interviews. B ．Busy remote office work.
C ．His peaceful lifestyle. D ．His hatred of fieldwork.
43 ．How did the author get inspiration of his walk-work style
A ．From his colleagues. B ．From his college life.
C ．From his use of his wife’s treadmill. D ．From his wife’s practical proposal.
44 ．Which can best describe most colleagues’ reaction to the author’s practice
A ．Positive. B ．Uncaring. C ．Skeptical. D ．Conservative.

Abandoned outside an orphanage as a baby and adopted at the age of three by a family in the Netherlands, 16-year-old model Abbing has become known around the world, as a model who has appeared in fashion
magazines-but also as an inspiring representative of the albino(白化病人)community.
When it comes to modelling, Abbing has found her difference more of a blessing: She is represented by the
Zebedee Talent agency, which aims to make people who have disabilities more visible in the world of fashion.
“I want to help people to see that being different is good, and definitely not some curse (诅咒), as they believe in countries like Tanzania and Malawi, ” said Abbing. “Some companies try to include models who are different, but sometimes for the wrong reason, because they want to say: ‘Hey, look at us! We are also including people with
differences or people of different color’ . ”
But Abbing welcomes what she sees as a shift. People now want to learn about and accept differences. “They should also talk with people with differences directly, ask them questions and listen to what they have to say,” she
urged.
When not in front of the camera, Abbing loves climbing and swimming, and used to love competitive sports.

I really didn’t like that, although they meant well, I would rather they had focused on the
things I can do instead.”

different as well, " she said.

Donatella Flick was the winner of the competition’s 17th part. She wanted to find young conductors at the
beginning of their careers and make sure they had tools to enable them not to give up until they succeed.
“It’s so important to train young talents and give them the opportunities to succeed,” she said, reflecting on
founding the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition 33 years ago.
That was why, she emphasized, the prize went beyond the cash award — which was a healthy 15,000 — and offered the winner the opportunity to assist the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) for a year. They could work
with some of the world’s finest conductors and lay foundations for a successful conducting career.
Flick was born Princess Donatella Missikoff. Since 1917, Flick has successfully built a career and reputation
as an artist. She now organizes charitable foundations and project all over the world.
With the Competition, she was motivated by finding more talents in unexpected places — before diversity and
inclusion spread through different industries as new “buzzwords” .
“One way to do this was to broaden the range for applications, so we opened up entries to conductors from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland in 2018. Since then, I’ve been very pleased to see conductors from those countries reach the list of competitors,” she said. “One of the major changes that I’ve been very happy to see
is that more women are applying for the Competition now than when we started in 1990, and I hope this continues
in future competitions.”
In view of the fact that only four of the 20 conductors — that was 20 percent — who qualified for the 2023
competition were women, it was clear that a gender imbalance persisted.
“I think we have a new generation of female conductors emerging, and I would deeply encourage them to
apply to the Competition if they’re at the start of their careers,” Flick said, still hopeful.
49 ．Why did Flick found the Conducting Competition
A ．To become famous. B ．To continue her family tradition.
C ．To train the future stars of conducting. D ．To promote the finest conductors’ careers.
50 ．How did Flick help young conductors
A ．By introducing them to some world-class orchestras.
B ．By supporting them financially.
C ．By equipping them with conducting tools.
D ．By providing more opportunities for them.
51 ．What major change does the Conducting Competition bring
A ．The range for applications is broadened every year.
B ．More females intend to take part in it now.
C ．Youths worldwide engage themselves in conducting.
D ．Males account for 80% of the qualified conductors.
52 ．Which of the following can best describe Flick
A ．Kind and ambitious. B ．Generous and brave.
C ．Sensible and creative. D ．Energetic and productive.

Levon Biss was looking at insects from his garden through a microscope he bought for his son. For fun, they
unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). “It is amazingly beautiful!” they both screamed.
The father had been making a career taking photographs for advertisements. But that experience gave him a new direction. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of habitat loss and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting
insects.
So Biss turned to macrophotography: taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His work
has attracted attention not just for its unusual beauty. It also raises awareness about the need for conservation.
In 2016, Biss showed his first insect project, Microsculpture. The term refers to the features of an insect’s
exoskeleton, or outer shell, which develops over time as the bug adapts to its environment.
Biss’s pictures capture the insects in all their microscopic details. Then he blows up the images until the insects become larger than life, some of them eight feet tall. But each image takes weeks to make. He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot, then move the camera by seven microns (微米) — a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair — for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10,000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a
single image.
Biss’s latest exhibition is Extinct and Endangered at the American Museum of Natural History. He selected bugs that were extinct or endangered, hoping his photographs would serve as a better purpose. “I communicate visually,” he says, “The way I work is through pictures. But I think it’s my duty to shake things up and get people
to pay attention.”
53 ．What made Levon Biss turn to macrophotography
A ．Beautiful insects. B ．Attractive environment.
C ．An expensive microscope. D ．An accidental observation.
54 ．How does Levon Biss manage to capture insects’ microscopic details
A ．By taking a shot at them twice.
B ．By adjusting the camera on a track.
C ．By taking close-up pictures countless times.
D ．By putting them in order on a computer.
55 ．What does the underlined phrase “shake things up” refer to in the last paragraph
A ．Get rid of the prejudice.
B ．Take action to save wildlife.
C ．Spare no efforts to face difficulties.
D ．Make people think about nature differently.
56 ．Which of the following best describes Levon Biss
A ．Patient and responsible. B ．Wealthy and ambitious.
C ．Polite and strong-willed. D ．Curious and easy-going.

Ida Nelson was relaxing herself in her sister’s sauna (桑拿室) when she heard the sound of a small airplane
circling the nearby airport.
It was 11: 30 at night in a remote village with a population of 70, and, as she told the newspaper reporter, “Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong.” Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem — the airports runway lights were out. Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her jeep, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights
manually.
“Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson told the reporter. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission — it was a helicopter, there to
transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in another city.
Nelson had a plan. Driving her jeep to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights on the road for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in
the village — 32 of them.
Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas. Following directions from the helicopter pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway. The helicopter made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately
took off again. Her illness was never publicly known, but she has since been recovered.
Without them, the girl might not have made it. However, for Nelson, it was only a small deed.
57 ．What problem did the helicopter encounter
A ．Its lights went out by accident.
B ．It made noise as it ran out of fuel.
C ．It didn’t arrive at the scheduled time.
D ．It could not spot the runway at night.
58 ．What does the underlined word “urgent” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A ．instant B ．normal C ．final D ．impossible
59 ．What can we conclude from the passage
A ．The girl has been in the hospital since her illness was reported.
B ．The creative thought and the sense of duty of Nelson led to the final landing.
C ．The villagers gathered so quickly because they were awake and ready to help.
D ．The helicopter was to transport the girl from the local hospital to another one.
60 ．What does this passage want to tell the readers
A ．No way is impossible to courage.

As the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause, baby, now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love.” It’s a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born
with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old, Barnard was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamon Blackfin Anemia, or DBA, and she spent
most of her life in and out of the hospital. The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we’ve
tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait, Barnard got her own match — through her own foundation. But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid. The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma. She received
surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was difficult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “My survival instinct (本能) just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that
I wanted to be at my sister’s future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again,” she said.
Her survival instinct — combined with Taylor Swift-helped her through her operation, where doctors cut her
cancer out, and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
1 ．Why does the author mention Taylor Swift’s song “Bad Blood”
A ．To stress the power of music.
B ．To introduce the topic of the text.
C ．To show Taylor Swift’s popularity.
D ．To state Taylor Swift’s song is a hit.
2 ．What is Hallie Barnard’s original motivation for creating Hallie’s Heroes
A ．To raise money for her heroes.
B ．To treat her rare blood disorder.
C ．To help other children with DBA .
D ．To have an operation for her cancer.
3 ．Which of the following can best describe Hallie Barnard
A ．Strong-minded and selfish. B ．Hard-working and patient.
C ．Kind and optimistic. D ．Outgoing and helpful.
4 ．What’s the best title for the text

Fran oise Malby-Anthony, a city girl, a Parisian through and through, could tell the quickest way to the Eiffel Tower but knew nothing about animals. Yet somewhere deep inside, she always felt she would end up in a foreign
country.
It was her husband Lawrence Anthony, a South African, who brought out the wanderlust in her. They met in London in 1987, and a year later they moved to South Africa, where they were drawn by nature and eventually bought Thula Thula — a game reserve of river and 1,500 hectares of rolling hills. They were soon working to save an abundance of wild animals, especially elephants and rhinos, from the poachers and hunters who roamed for fun and profit. They also employed some locals, and taught them about office work, dealing with guests and cooking
French dishes.
Last March, however, Lawrence died of a sudden heart attack. And there Francoise was, alone, burying her
husband, and didn’t know where to begin.
She soon faced her first baptism (洗礼) by fire. A few days later, she received a call. Thabo, a three-year-old male rhino, had taken a bullet. It was the poachers. How could the poachers break into the fence in broad daylight
At that point, a rumor suggested it was an inside job. Maybe someone was trying to frighten her into leaving
Lawrence was gone. A rhino in trouble and security men she couldn’t rely on. Since booking after booking had been canceled due to Lawrence’s passing away, Fran oise finally had an empty bank account. But how could

Fran oise slowly found her feet. Eventually Thabo recovered from the trauma. She set up meetings with the staff to go over reserve and animal issues and to agree on priorities. She even launched her own rhino fund. The
desperate days have helped redefine the purpose of life without Lawrence, and she understands that the mission of
protecting Thula Thula’s wildlife has become hers, and hers alone.
5 ．What do we know about Fran oise
A ．She cooked local dishes specially for tourists.
B ．She has lived in a foreign country for decades.

In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen another woman in her role — not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too,
could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centers. Over the course of eight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of
being first responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench (长椅) for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the
Kids Help Phone.
Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in
2023.
9 ．What was probably Speranza’s wish in 2001
A ．To see more female firefighters.
B ．To make contact with more teenage girls.
C ．To be recruited to the Halifax Regional Fire Service.
D ．To work part-time in schools and recreation centers.
10 ．What does the underlined part “ins and outs” in paragraph 2 mean
A ．Risks. B ．Chances. C ．Details. D ．Purposes.
11 ．What can be inferred about Camp Courage
A ．It is a nonprofit international organization.
B ．It teaches the value of being helpful to others.
C ．It requires its campers to write an essay every week.
D ．It introduces boys and girls to the emergency services.
12 ．What can we say about Speranza

I had always dreamed of living and working in New York, which promised endless opportunities. But as soon
as I arrived, I realized that my journey was going to be filled with countless setbacks and challenges.
My first major failure came when I landed my dream job at a famous company. However, after just a few
months, I was let go due to budget cuts. I was shocked and felt like all of my hard work had been for nothing.
Determined to bounce back, I applied for a new job at another company. This time, things seemed to be going
better. I was making progress and gaining valuable experience, but then I was suddenly laid off again due to
company restructuring.
Feeling defeated and hopeless, I decided to take a break from the job search and focus on self-improvement. I enrolled in courses and attended workshops to learn new skills and expand my knowledge. But even with all of this
effort, I still couldn’t find the right job.
One day, while searching online job listings, I found an opportunity that seemed too good to be true. It was a remote position that offered a competitive salary and flexible hours. Without hesitation, I applied and was thrilled
when I received an offer letter.
However, as soon as I started working remotely, I realized that it wasn’t the same as being in an office with colleagues ( 同 事) around me. I struggled to communicate effectively and found it difficult to stay motivated
without the support of my team.
Despite these challenges, I refused to give up. I reached out to my colleagues and tried to build relationships with them through virtual meetings and social media. With their help and encouragement, I was able to adapt to the new environment and excel in my role. Looking back on my journey, I realized that success is not about avoiding failure, but rather about learning from it and persevering through the tough times. I encouraged others who may be facing similar challenges in their own careers to never give up on their dreams and to keep pushing forward even
when things get tough.

A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who
slipped in the snow and broke his neck.
The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farm house on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns (衬裤), a shirt and slippers when he
went outside, although the temperature was around -4℃ .
After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance. “I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10:30 pm,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came.

and that it was my choice to stay alive.”

7.（广东省广州市南沙区 2023 年高三试题）
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce
the sound of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just
the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by
heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same ” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different ” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing
relationnships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word
“green”。
Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the
mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.
25 ．Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird
A ．A bird with a small brain was needed.
B ．She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C ．A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D ．The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
26 ．What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first
A ．Innovative.
B ．Practical.
C ．Costly.
D ．Fruitless.
27 ．Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on
A ．Understanding concepts.
B ．Calculating.
C ．Recognizing voices.
D ．Creating English words.
28 ．What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study
A ．Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B ．Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C ．Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.
D ．She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.

One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games.
And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks.
One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin Williams - an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay pletely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up
the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself.
I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to
come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”
So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’ re having an improv comedy class. We’re
on break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class. “Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked
to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class.
When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.“ Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!”“ Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit( 滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he
prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t mustered up the courage to
ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience.

Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies
them.
Those who stay committed to their broad goals and find satisfaction even in unplanned circumstances are truly victorious. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and
helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula (陪护
师).
Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police officer has the opportunity to eliminate crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone. Although she became a mother during her studies and her responsibilities were increased due to children, she didn’t give up on her passion.

10.（湖北省部分市州 2023 年模拟试题）
Life finds me on the Isle of Islay, Queen of the Hebrides. I am the warden( 管理员) of The Oa Reserve, a
2,1oo-hectate nature reserve and working farm owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
It was always a dream of mine to live in Scotland. The friendly nature of the island communities, the landscape, beautiful coastlines and above all--the wildlife. The amazing wildlife. So, here I am: living and working
on the west coast of Scotland in a dream job. But, things weren’t always this way.
My school life never really amounted to much. I didn’t go on to higher education and my early working life was sloppy (马虎的), at best. Much of this was due to my disinterest in the work I was doing. I worked in factories, shops, warehouses and even a castle. I was always unsettled and uninspired. I never knew how to channel my interest and passion for nature into a paying job. Wildlife and nature had been part of my life since my youth. I
remember my childhood with great fondness: I would read bird books, paint fact files for each species and get lost
in the natural world.
In 2014, the opportunity I so badly needed finally appeared a paid training with Durham Wildlife Trust. I was given all the basic skills and training for habitat control, wildlife surveys and ground management works. In October 2015, I became the reserve warden for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), where I stayed for just under half a decade. As happy as I was, new opportunities dared me to dream even bigger. The time had come
to take my next step, to continue to grow within my career.
So, this is where I am now: living in the middle of a nature reserve, with golden eagles, red deer and hen
harriers as neighbors. I feel as if I’m the luckiest man alive.
37 ．What does the author like best about Scotland
A ．Its wild species. B ．Its beautiful shorelines.
C ．Its unique scenery. D ．Its friendly communities.
38 ．Why did the author feel unsettled in his early working life
A ．He was not well paid.
B ．He changed jobs too often.
C ．He felt not as good as others.
D ．He showed little interest in the jobs.
39 ．What can be inferred about the author’s childhood
A ．He was fascinated by nature.
B ．He knew a lot about biology.
C ．He was forced to leave school early.
D ．He dreamed of living in Scotland.

11.（2023 年海南省琼海市嘉积中学高三一模英语试题）
As my head moved up and down on the Zoom screen, private messages poured in from my colleagues: “What are you doing there ” “Are you sitting on a ball ” “Are you walking ” I could feel their eyes on me — inquiring, interested, confused. Clearly, this wasn’t a normal faculty meeting. I replied I was walking on my new under desk
treadmill (跑步机).
I didn’t have to worry about workday inactivity earlier in my career. As a graduate student and postdoc, I went on frequent field excursions to collect soil samples in remote places. The fieldwork was physically challenging, a contrast to the lab tasks and desk work that were also part of my job. But when I became a professor, fieldwork
became a rarity.
During the pandemic the situation grew worse. My schedule filled up with one online meeting or seminar after the next. And I “traveled” to them without leaving my desk. Although I had the luxury of a height-adjustable desk,
which gave me the option to stand, I still felt unbalanced, and I began to experience back pain.
At home, I’d occasionally tried to work on my wife’s treadmill, which I’d repurposed by putting a wooden board across the handles and my laptop on top. I thought that might be just what I needed in my campus office, so I bought a treadmill designed to go under a desk. I decided to spend my entire workday on the treadmill. It took me
several days to adjust, but I eventually got the hang of typing and speaking while walking.
When I’m at my desk, I spend nearly all of my working hours in motion. In the first couple of weeks, I was a bit exhausted when I got home at night. But over time, I developed more endurance. My back pain disappeared and
I came to enjoy the time at my desk.
Most of the scientists I work with have sent me reassuring feedback. Some have even bought treadmills of their own. That has made me view my walking as a way to silently communicate a crucial message to my
colleagues: There’re always ways to stay active if you want!
41 ．How did the author begin the writing of the text
A ．By introducing some of his colleagues.
B ．By showing his academic qualifications.
C ．By displaying his new under desk treadmill.
D ．By listing private messages from his colleagues.
42 ．What resulted in the author’s worse inactivity
A ．Frequent interviews. B ．Busy remote office work.
C ．His peaceful lifestyle. D ．His hatred of fieldwork.
43 ．How did the author get inspiration of his walk-work style
A ．From his colleagues. B ．From his college life.
C ．From his use of his wife’s treadmill. D ．From his wife’s practical proposal.

12.（2023 年福建省泉州第五中学高考模拟试题）
Abandoned outside an orphanage as a baby and adopted at the age of three by a family in the Netherlands, 16-year-old model Abbing has become known around the world, as a model who has appeared in fashion
magazines-but also as an inspiring representative of the albino(白化病人)community.
When it comes to modelling, Abbing has found her difference more of a blessing: She is represented by the
Zebedee Talent agency, which aims to make people who have disabilities more visible in the world of fashion.
“I want to help people to see that being different is good, and definitely not some curse (诅咒), as they believe in countries like Tanzania and Malawi, ” said Abbing. “Some companies try to include models who are different, but sometimes for the wrong reason, because they want to say: ‘Hey, look at us! We are also including people with
differences or people of different color’ . ”
But Abbing welcomes what she sees as a shift. People now want to learn about and accept differences. “They should also talk with people with differences directly, ask them questions and listen to what they have to say,” she
urged.
When not in front of the camera, Abbing loves climbing and swimming, and used to love competitive sports. It’s important for her to focus on what is possible, rather than what isn’t. “At school, teachers tend to look at the things you cannot do. I really didn’t like that, although they meant well, I would rather they had focused on the
things I can do instead.”
Abbing loves travelling, meeting new people and particularly working with artists. The teen also pours her creativity into decoration artwork. ”Because I see the world from a different angle, my artwork turns out a little
different as well, " she said.
45 ．What is the main reason for Abbing’s being chosen by Zebedee
A ．Her physical disability.
B ．Her youthful appearance.
C ．Her success in the fashion world.
D ．Her fame in the albino community.
46 ．What does Abbing think of some companies hiring disabled models
A ．It is racial discrimination.
B ．It is a positive change.
C ．It is completely justified.
D ．It is real acceptance of difference.
47 ．Which of the following best describes Abbing
A ．Creative and honest.
B ．Outgoing and patient.
C ．Confident and optimistic.
D ．Athletic and humorous.
48 ．What message does Abbing’s story convey
A ．Everyone is born equal.
B ．Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C ．Love makes the world go around.
D ．You are beautiful the way you are.

13.（河南省平顶山市 2023 年高三试题）
Donatella Flick was the winner of the competition’s 17th part. She wanted to find young conductors at the
beginning of their careers and make sure they had tools to enable them not to give up until they succeed.
“It’s so important to train young talents and give them the opportunities to succeed,” she said, reflecting on
founding the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition 33 years ago.
That was why, she emphasized, the prize went beyond the cash award — which was a healthy 15,000 — and offered the winner the opportunity to assist the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) for a year. They could work
with some of the world’s finest conductors and lay foundations for a successful conducting career.
Flick was born Princess Donatella Missikoff. Since 1917, Flick has successfully built a career and reputation
as an artist. She now organizes charitable foundations and project all over the world.
With the Competition, she was motivated by finding more talents in unexpected places — before diversity and
inclusion spread through different industries as new “buzzwords” .
“One way to do this was to broaden the range for applications, so we opened up entries to conductors from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland in 2018. Since then, I’ve been very pleased to see conductors from those countries reach the list of competitors,” she said. “One of the major changes that I’ve been very happy to see is that more women are applying for the Competition now than when we started in 1990, and I hope this continues
in future competitions.”
In view of the fact that only four of the 20 conductors — that was 20 percent — who qualified for the 2023
competition were women, it was clear that a gender imbalance persisted.
“I think we have a new generation of female conductors emerging, and I would deeply encourage them to
apply to the Competition if they’re at the start of their careers,” Flick said, still hopeful.
49 ．Why did Flick found the Conducting Competition
A ．To become famous. B ．To continue her family tradition.
C ．To train the future stars of conducting. D ．To promote the finest conductors’ careers.
50 ．How did Flick help young conductors
A ．By introducing them to some world-class orchestras.
B ．By supporting them financially.
C ．By equipping them with conducting tools.
D ．By providing more opportunities for them.
51 ．What major change does the Conducting Competition bring
A ．The range for applications is broadened every year.
B ．More females intend to take part in it now.
C ．Youths worldwide engage themselves in conducting.
D ．Males account for 80% of the qualified conductors.

A ．Kind and ambitious. B ．Generous and brave.

Levon Biss was looking at insects from his garden through a microscope he bought for his son. For fun, they
unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). “It is amazingly beautiful!” they both screamed.
The father had been making a career taking photographs for advertisements. But that experience gave him a new direction. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of habitat loss and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting
insects.
So Biss turned to macrophotography: taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His work
has attracted attention not just for its unusual beauty. It also raises awareness about the need for conservation.
