In the 1980s, Ray Barnett worked in Uganda as a humanitarian worker. One day, a boy went to him and showed his gratitude by singing a song, which deeply touched Barnett’s heart. “When I went back to Canada and people were not interested in Uganda, I remembered the small boy. I knew that if some Ugandan children could travel to the West, people would be deeply moved and would certainly want to help,” Barnett recalls. In April 1984, Barnett and a team of volunteers travelled back to Uganda to select 31 children who would become the first African Children’s Choir.
In September 1984, the choir arrived in North America and achieved more throughout their tour than Barnett could imagine. They inspired audiences with their stories through music, dance and drama and raised enough funds to open a children’s home in Uganda. This provided a stable environment and a quality education for the choir children and other children who needed care.
While Barnett had thought of the choir as a one-time attempt, the choir’s instant popularity and the ongoing needs in Uganda convinced him to continue with choir work. In 1985, a second choir was selected from an orphanage home in Makerere, Kikoni, and the African Children’s Choir began another tour. Its success meant it was able to provide for many children beyond those in the choir.
Over the next years, six more homes were established to cater for vulnerable children. A number of special literacy schools were established where the children learned how to read and write, and gained confidence and skills. The organization next established a sponsorship programme to help the children move further in their schooling.
In 1990, the African Children’s Choir spread its wings and opened in Kenya. In 1994, it opened in Rwanda. In 1996, it opened another branch in South Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. Currently, the African Children’s Choir is made up of 44 choirs, each with between 17-24 members, both boys and girls aged between 7-15.
4. Why did Barnett return to Uganda in 1984
A. To provide humanitarian aid to the area.
B. To search for the boy he had met before.
C. To organize a choir to help poor children.
D. To send donations from Canadians to Uganda.
5. How was the children’s first performance
A. It was an unexpected hit. B. It barely covered its costs.
C. It was an ordinary attempt. D. It was enjoyed by orphans.
6. What can we infer about the African Children’s Choir from the last two paragraphs
A. It is well-received by local parents and schools.
B. It has grown rapidly and more kids benefit from it.
C. It suffers financial difficulty and requires sponsoring.
D. It pays more attention to kids’ schooling instead of music.
7. What is the text mainly about

B. Music is a bridge across different cultures.
C. The African Children’s Choir changes Africa.
D. Music can shake off poverty and bring happiness.

In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting sustainable lifestyles. This global trend is fueled by various factors, ranging from heightened environmental awareness to economic advantages.
A primary driver behind the rise of green living is the increasing awareness of environmental issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. As people become more informed about the harmful effects of carbon emissions, deforestation, and pollution, there is a collective push toward adopting practices that minimize ecological impact.
Beyond environmental concerns, there are some economic motives driving the shift toward sustainability. For instance, energy-efficient technologies and practices can significantly reduce utility bills over time, making them financially advantageous for homeowners and businesses alike. Additionally, governments and organizations often offer some financial stimuli such as tax credits and subsidies (补贴) to encourage the development and adoption of renewable energy sources.
For example, solar energy has emerged as a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, attracting widespread interest from homeowners and businesses seeking clean energy solutions. Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar technology, coupled with advancements in efficiency and storage capabilities, have made solar panels increasingly practical and cost-effective.
Consumer attitudes and preferences are also factors driving the demand for sustainable products and services. Millennials (千禧一代) and Generation Z, in particular, prioritize environmental responsibility and prefer to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. This shift has urged businesses across various sectors to integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations, from sustainable sourcing to waste reduction initiatives.
Moreover, the power of social influence cannot be underestimated in shaping consumer behavior towards sustainability. Social media platforms and online communities arouse awareness about environmental issues and show innovative green solutions. Individuals are increasingly motivated by peer examples, fostering a collective movement towards greener lifestyles.
These living practices reflects a global commitment to sustainability. By choosing to integrate sustainable practices and technologies into everyday life, individuals and communities can contribute to lessening climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations.
8. What is the result when the government offers financial stimuli according to the text
A. Green energy will be more accessible and affordable.
B It will bring too much financial burden to the government.
C. Technology companies will make much progress in their field.
D. Traditional fossil fuels will give way to renewable energy entirely.
9. What is true about the consumer behavior according to paragraphs 5 and 6
A. Older generations have a more sustainable lifestyle.
B. Peers make little difference in shaping consumer behavior.
C. Social influence promises to drive changes in consumer preferences.
D. The eco-friendly practices of companies cause the shift of consumer behavior.
10. What is the purpose of the text
A. To initiate a process. B. To list some reasons.
C. To address concerns. ` D. To analyze a dilemma.
11. What is the suitable title of the text
A. Keeping Sustainable Development: The Strategic Goals for the Globe.
B. Protecting the Environment: An Everlasting Topic throughout the World.
C. Promoting Ourselves: A Better and More Advanced World in Store for Us.
D. Embracing Green Living: The Growing Movement towards Sustainability.
D
Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today.
The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them — in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience — tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for What values will we defend What models will we offer following generations In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human.
The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.
Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now.
12. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1
A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history.
C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society.
13. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2
A. Consequences of overlooking history.
B. Significance of mastering all subjects.
C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow.
D. Resolutions of the current international issues.
14. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with
A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well.
B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum.
C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools.
D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history.
15. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean
A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news.
B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate.
C We should make history curriculum more logical and critical.
D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.

A smartphone can be a lifeline in a natural disaster. ____16____ Unfortunately, many disasters like wildfires, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes take away the exact things phones rely on to do that work: electricity and cell services. Here are some of the best ways you can get your phone in the best shape to help you.
Assume your electricity can go out at any time and plan accordingly. ____17____ If possible, leave them plugged in until the last minute. Also charge any backup batteries and laptops, then make sure all charging cords are collected in one place to take with you. If the power is out, or if you’re no longer someplace with an outlet, you’ll need to make any charges last as long as possible.
____18____ Extreme cold and heat can cause your phone battery to be less efficient and even stop your phone from working. You’ll typically see a warning sign on the screen if this happens. If you can turn it off, don’t turn it back on until it’s back to an acceptable temperature. Whether it’s extreme cold or heat, avoid leaving your phone exposed and don’t leave it in a car.
Your friends and family will want to know you are safe and your location in case you aren’t safe. Send your location with everyone over text, so they’ll know where to look if you lose contact. Make sure to include people outside of the disaster zone. If you are using a GPS location-sharing option, don’t just send your current spot one time. ____19____
If you’re struggling to find reliable Internet connections, there are apps that could still help you stay in touch or give you helpful information. ____20____ For example, download the Google Maps information for surrounding areas in case you need to move fast and cell service isn’t available. Put in your main location, hit the three dots in the corner, select Download Offline Map. You can crop the exact area you think you’ll need.
A. You should select the option to share it constantly.
B. Charge your phone and any additional devices ahead of time.
C. Don’t use your phone for a long time when in a natural disaster.
D. It can connect you instantly to assistance and real-time resources.
E. Most modern phones are sturdy but sensitive to their environments.
F. Download and set them up early as part of your disaster preparation.
G. If your phone gets wet, shake out any excess water and remove the battery.

47. 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。
The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan.31, 2024. It was just past 4:30p.m. I was in the office when my colleague at home called me, asking me to take his laptop to his home. I assured him. “The snow shouldn’t start until later.” I thought. On the way to his place, I picked up a new cellphone charger, filled up my SUV with gas and picked up two stuffed-crust pizzas for two kids.
It took me about 15 minutes to get to my colleague’s house, where I dropped off the laptop case and got right back on the road. Then the snow started, and it was coming down fast. Within minutes I was in a whiteout.
The wind screamed. The road soon switched from paved to gravel. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. I slowed down and rolled down my driver’s side window. But I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The operator told me to sit tight and wait things out for the night. NOBODY was coming to get me until morning at the earliest!
It was now about 6 p.m. and dark. I told myself I should calm down. I called my kids and told them what was happening. Then I stopped the car and texted that colleague. I joked about my good deed ending in disaster. “Pin your location on Google Maps and send it to me,” he had an idea. I did, and a few minutes later he texted me back a screenshot of the satellite view of where I was. We figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms.
It was now 6:30 p.m. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, pleading for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
At 8 p.m., my cellphone rang. It was the son of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where I was. He told me that his dad was coming to get me.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then, about 55 minutes later, I saw a tall figure in the dark, carrying a flashlight.

When we reached the house, I saw an old lady standing at the doorstep.

【答案】

It was the farmer, wrapped in a thick coat, his face reddened by the cold. “Come on, let’s get you out of here,” he said in a deep, comforting voice. I followed his instructions, grabbing my coat and essentials, and we made our way through the snow to his truck. The warmth of the cab was a welcome relief as we drove through the storm.
When we reached the house, I saw an old lady standing at the doorstep. She was the farmer’s wife, her eyes twinkling with kindness as she welcomed me in. The house was cozy, with the scent of freshly baked bread filling the air. The farmer’s son and his family had also gathered around, offering blankets and food. As I sat there, sipping my tea and surrounded by their kindness, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the simple yet profound acts of humanity that had saved me on this stormy night.
