Ekaterina Sky a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving.
“I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.”
Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.
Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said.
Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.
“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said.
4. What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art
A Her childhood. B. Her love for animals.
C. Her scholarships. D. Her travels.
5. What is the focus of paragraph 3
A. Ekaterina’s educational background in art.
B. The achievements of Ekaterina’s unique artistic style.
C. The reasons why Ekaterina wanted to be a conservation artist.
D. The impact of Ekaterina’s art on wildlife conservation efforts.
6. How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation
A. By raising funds. B. By providing scientific data.
C. By increasing public awareness. D. By influencing the local policy.
7. What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph
A. Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings.
B. Urban life helps protect endangered species.
C. She seeks to expose environmental harm.
D. She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art.
C
Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.
Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here.
Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水).
To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer.
“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.”
An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says.
8. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph
A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique.
B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills.
C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique.
D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm.
9. What can we know about the Wanbao project
A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese.
C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals.
10. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean
A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling.
11. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found
A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art.
D
Every Monday through Friday, you may be running between work, appointments and family events— can’t the workout wait until the weekend Maybe, according to a new report published in the journal JAMA, which found that people who exercised throughout the week and “weekend warriors”, who packed their exercise into the weekend, saw a similar reduction in the risk of heart diseases.
The paper relied on data from the UK Biobank, a large biomedical database that follows residents in the long term. “A group of more than 100,000 people used accelerometers (加速度计) to track their movement over the course of a week,” the study said. Researchers then assessed the relationship between exercise patterns and events of the heart.
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate- intensity (中等强度) physical activity per week, according to The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. “If you are able to achieve those guideline- recommended levels over one to two days of the week, then our findings show you’ re getting a similar benefit as people who exercise every day,” said lead study author Dr Shaan Khurshid, instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
“However, participants only wore the accelerometers for a week, which might not track their most regular activity patterns,” said Dr Andrew Freeman from National Jewish Health in Denver, who was not part of the research.
Freeman often recommends his patients aim to exercise every day, encouraging them to engage in 30- minute exercise that’s hard enough to make them breathless. Still, there are patients who tell Freeman that they can only get a day or two of activity during the week but have more time on the weekend. Now the recent study gives him more confidence in helping them make that work.
“This is at least inspiring enough for me to say to some patients, ‘Hey, there’s recent data that says if you can’t get your 30 minutes every day, getting 150 minutes over a weekend might be helpful,’” said Freeman.
12. Why did the participants wear accelerometers in the study
A. To remind them of their work. B. To warn them of accidents.
C. To track their physical activity. D. To record their emotional changes.
13. How many minutes of moderate- intensity exercise are recommended for adults in a week
A. At least 30 minutes. B. At least 60 minutes.
C. At least 90 minutes. D. At least 150 minutes.
14. Why does Freeman consider the study helpful
A. It gives him a way to guide his patients. B. It encourages him to work out at weekends.
C. It provides an effective tool for his future study. D. It allows him more time for relaxation.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Tool for Heart Health Research
B. The Impact of Daily Exercise on Heart Health
C. Physical Activity Prevents Heart Diseases in Adults
D. Weekend- only Workouts Also Benefit Your Heart Health

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。
I was very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I was good at the long jump and running. As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The event lasted two days. With no competitions for me on the first day, I cheered on my teammates and watched other athletes. Seeing our team do well in various events was encouraging. The successes of our team were not just victories; they were a source of inspiration. Each triumph (获胜) by our athletes was met with a round of applause and shouts of joy from our cheering section. Their achievements fueled my own motivation, and I could feel the excitement building within me. I was ready for my events.
On the second day, my long jump event was scheduled for the early afternoon. I felt confident, but when I got there I realized there were a lot of talented athletes. There was one young athlete in particular who jumped extremely far, wearing spikes (钉子鞋), making it harder for the rest of us. I was very nervous. At the end of the race, I tried my best, and although I jumped a good distance, I twisted (扭伤) my foot. I finished fourth, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50 m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race time arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I held my breath and watched our team runners keep up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My turn arrived, I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on.

Participants were encouraged to sign a pledge committing to protecting wildlife.

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
My turn arrived, I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run. I ran forward, giving it my all, but then I stumbled and fell down. I felt a quick pain and my heart sank. The race looked like it was getting away. The noise from the crowd disappeared as I struggled. But my friends’ calls for me to stand up cut through the silence. I saw the other runners moving fast, and I knew I had to keep going.
At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on. They were proud of my behavior instead of being disappointed, just as I was proud of my efforts. Even though I didn’t get a medal in the long jump or the relay, I showed I could keep going even when things were hard. I had faced challenges and pushed through, showing my courage. The applause from the crowd was a reward which meant more than any medal. The true victory is in the effort, not just the result.
