My husband Wade and I run Southern Koala Rescue and are committed to saving as many koalas as we can. One day, we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree; but when the flames died down, we decided to return, thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help.
Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a 20-cent piece on its neck. Using rings on the end of poles, we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined. The wound needed a minor operation and, afterwards, the koala, who we named Claire, had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury. Claire was frightened of me at first, but after four weeks I gained her trust.
Finally, it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild. This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved. I did miss them when they were gone, but I knew they were not meant to be pets.
After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from 2019 to 2020, extinction for koalas is a very real possibility. For individuals, one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard. It can save a life and that counts.
4. Why were the volunteer team called out？
A. To put out a big fire. B. To save a trapped koala.
C. To search for missing animals. D. To clear the blackened bushland.
5. What can we learn about Claire？
A. It was afraid of flies. B. It got hurt by hunters.
C. It needed a major operation. D. It developed trust in humans.
6. Which part of the job does the author find the most meaningful？
A. Sending rescued animals back to nature. B. Providing a shelter for wild animal.
C. Curing the injured animals. D. Petting many wild animals.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A. Humans are responsible for the big fire. B. Nothing can stop wildlife dying out.
C. Small acts can make a big difference. D. Animals are human’s best friends.
C
For people who are deaf or hard of hearing it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout.
The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.
“This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.”
Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about- a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more.
8. What does “them” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Researchers. B. Apps. C. Sounds. D. Fire alarms.
9. What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph 2
A. How it works. B. Why it is invented.
C. Who it is intended for. D. What it can detect.
10. Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
11. What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be
A. Affordable. B. Personally tailored
C. Multifunctional. D. Fashionably designed.
D
“Instagram (a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20. To protect your account, repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe#.” Every few months, it happens again — a dozen of such annoying posts from my kids and their friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram.
According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake (假的). Researchers asked more than 7,800 middle school and high school students to complete 56 tasks, like telling the difference between an advertisement and a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable. Surprisingly, they found that students judged the credibility (可信性) of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they contained, or whether a large photo was attached.
“Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media, they can recognize fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,” wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education.
Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely. That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources.
“In the coming months, we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,” said Wineburg.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By stating an opinion. B. By conducting a study.
C. By explaining a saying. D. By quoting a post.
13. What determines the credibility of online information according to researchers
A. The source of the material. B. The popularity of the website.
C. The amount of detail. D. The size of relevant photos.
14. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Download. B. Update. C. Rate. D. Remove.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Stronger Together: The Internet Changes Our Life
B. Be Careful: Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake News
C. Reliable News Has No Place on Social Media
D. Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the Young

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 spent 15 years trying to make it in the music industry. When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.
Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music.
Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. I was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant.
This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing.
After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. I had to break the news to them that I wasn’t a pop star.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me.

【47题答案】
【答案】I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years. Seized by a strong sense of tension, I stood on the stage, seeing the huge cheers and a sea of lights below the stage. I was lost at the moment, holding the microphone tightly. I tried my best to collect myself and began to sing my own song which I had practiced hundreds of times. Looking back the years I had experienced as I sang on the stage, I realized that it is the opportunity that I had been waiting for the whole life. I kept myself full of enthusiasm as I was singing on the stage, showing the best to the audience.
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. With them around me, a long queue of fans were waiting to have their photograph taken with me. I was like a superstar and that night was like a real dream for me. I had knocked on doors for years, yet my moment came when the opportunity called me. Life can surprise you. It has reinspired my passion for music. This has made all the odd jobs and weekends spent in recording studios all worthwhile.
