I had always prided myself on being strong and adaptive, someone who could handle anything thrown my way. As a doctor and skin researcher, I was always busy: My days were filled with the demands of the clinic and the lab, my evenings spent digging into the latest studies.
I was also living with a chronic (慢性的) illness. When I first received my diagnosis (诊断), I brushed it off. “I can handle this,” I told myself. “I’ve handled worse.” And for several years I pushed through the pain and exhaustion, convinced that slowing down in my work would mean falling behind.
But the chest pain, it turned out, wasn’t only a symptom of my illness: I was also pregnant. I was overjoyed when I found out. But how could I continue to work at this pace while also nurturing (孕育) a new life I had to make a choice: Continue to push myself to the physical boundaries, or take a step back.
In India, where I work, women doctors normally take just 6 weeks of leave, right after delivery. It’s unheard of to take a year-long break, or stop working a few months into pregnancy, as I did. One colleague remarked that taking so much leave isn’t a great look for someone longing for leadership. Another told me, “Women have been working through pregnancies for generations. Why should you be any different ”
In the early days of my break, I often lay awake at night, wondering whether my decision would indeed pose a threat to my career. But as time went on, I began to see my time off not as a failure, but as a necessary pause. I realized it didn’t mean I was any less capable or ambitious, but that I valued my health and well-being enough. And it meant that when I returned to work, I was able to give my best-not just someone who had been running on empty.
4. What was the author’s focus before pregnancy
A. To keep pace with her colleagues’ progress. B. To maintain her strong and adaptive image.
C. To handle patients with strange symptoms. D. To pursue the cause she had a passion for.
5. How did the author feel when she was pregnant
A. Curious yet concerned. B. Happy and determined.
C. Delighted yet confused. D. Relieved and confident.
6. What is implied about the author in Paragraph 4
A. She lived in a nation without labor law B. She was thought to ask for a privilege.
C. She lost a promotion during her break. D. She was shocked at others’ reactions.
7. How did the author like her time off
A. A period of long-term self-doubt. B. A chance of caring for her baby.
C. A strategy rather than a setback. D. A journey of rethinking her job.
C
The American Ornithological Society (AOS) has announced that it will rename all birds that are named after people. The change is being made to ensure that names of people who discriminated (歧视) are not attached to the birds.
The AOS, based in Chicago, Illinois, has maintained a list of English-language names for birds in North America since 1886. In 2020, an application demanding a change to bird names that were considered harmful was signed by 182 people and submitted to the AOS. A committee determined that renaming birds on an individual basis was not feasible but that all birds named after people should get new names.
“There is power in a name,” said Colleen Handel, the president of AOS. “Some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be discriminatory.” The new names, she said, would focus on “the unique features and beauty of the birds themselves”.
The AOS will begin coming up with new common names for the birds in 2024, first focusing on 70 to 80 species in the US and Canada. The scientific names of the species, written in Latin, will not be changed. The names of birds in Latin America will be considered next. Ultimately, the AOS plans to change the names of 263 birds.
Some birds have already gotten a new name. In 2020, the AOS renamed a songbird that had been named after a general in the US Civil War (1861-1865) who had been part of the Confederacy, the group of states that fought to preserve slavery (奴隶制). The songbird’s new name is the thick-billed longspur (厚嘴籽雀).
Emily Williams, a bird researcher at Georgetown University, told the Associated Press he was excited about the news. Christian Cooper, a blackbird enthusiast, told The New York Times, “There’s no reason to have a person’s name attached to a bird because it doesn’t tell you anything about the bird.”
8. Why did the AOS decide to rename birds
A. To simplify the naming rules for birds. B. To follow the new naming regulations.
C. To increase the diversity of bird names. D. To ensure they aren’t named after people.
9. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Practical. B. Economic. C. Meaningful. D. Contradictory.
10. What is a good bird’s name according to the text
A. A name using a number. B. A name named after a general.
C. A name which is written in Latin. D. A name showing its unique features.
11. What is Christian Cooper’s attitude toward the AOS’s plan
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
D
Redundancy (冗余) is widely seen as a writing error. “Omit (删除) needless words” is perhaps the least redundant statement of this view, made famous by The Elements of Style. In it, E.B. White owed the quote to his university English teacher, William Strunk. In the classroom, Strunk “omitted so many needless words” that he was often “left with nothing more to say, yet with time to fill”. So Strunk said everything three times. Did he really need to repeat himself three times If he had already said everything that was required, he could have let the class out early. That he did so suggests there may be more value in redundancy than meets the eye.
Redundancy can be frequently observed on trains and planes. These are noisy and distracting places where “Please take your things” may not be heard by all passengers. Redundancy makes a signal robust. For instance, spacecraft sending digital messages to Earth include redundancies in the signal that allow engineers back home to reconstruct the degraded transmissions (传输).
Another possible use of redundancy is simply to make listening or reading less effortful. If every possible word that can be removed is removed, so that every remaining one is absolutely crucial, listening and reading become stressful. You cannot let your mind wander for even a moment. Such article is almost too thick with information; even a short passage of this kind would be demanding to read.
The advice to keep it brief is still a good idea. Blaise Pascal, a French author of the 17th century, once apologised for a long letter by saying: “I have not had time to make it shorter.” Keeping things tight can be hard work for the writer, but it saves time for the reader, at least up to a point. Make your article as short as necessary to keep your reader reading — but not more.
12. Why does the author mention the example of William Strunk
A. To illustrate a common writing error. B. To question the logic of repetitive words.
C. To introduce an influential English quote. D. To justify the existence of redundant speech.
13. What does the underlined word “robust” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Reliable. B. Concrete. C. Comprehensive. D. Vivid.
14. In what way is redundancy useful
A. It removes the stress of reading. B. It saves readers from mind-wandering.
C. It facilitates the readability of passages. D. It packs articles with crucial information.
15 What’s the author’s suggestion regarding being brief
A. Write to the point. B. Maintain a balance.
C. Consider the reader. D. Apologize if necessary.

A Journey of Self-discovery
Since childhood, I had always been overshadowed by my elder sister, Lily, who was the epitome (缩影) of perfection in the eyes of our parents and everyone around us. She was an outstanding student, consistently topping her class in every subject. She was also a gifted pianist, her fingers dancing gracefully over the keys, creating the most beautiful melodies that could move people to tears. In contrast, I was just an ordinary kid. My grades were plain, and I had no particular talent that could make me stand out.
Our parents, especially my mother, always compared me to Lily. This constant comparison made me feel less confident and inadequate. So, I forced myself to study for long hours, even when I was exhausted. I also took piano lessons, but my clumsy fingers could never produce the same magic as Lily’s.
In high school, I joined the drama club, thinking that it might be a way to shine. I was so eager to prove myself that I took on every role that came my way, regardless of whether it suited me or not. I tried to parrot the acting styles of famous actors, but my performances always seemed forced and unnatural. The other club members started to give me strange looks, and I could sense their disappointment. I started to question myself: Why was I trying so hard to be someone I wasn’t
One day, while helping out in the school library, I accidentally discovered a book on photography. As I flipped through the pages, I was fascinated with the charming images. That night, I started to imagine myself behind the camera, capturing the beauty of the world around me. The next day, I used my savings to buy a second-hand camera. I began to explore the school campus, taking pictures of the old buildings, the blooming flowers, and the smiling faces of my classmates. I found I could photograph in a way that made the ordinary look extraordinary.
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。
With my camera in hand, I began to gain some confidence.

The photography competition gave me more than an honor.

【答案】Good morning, everyone!
Today, I’m honored to share with you the classic tale of the Monkey King.
The Monkey King is a well-known character from the Chinese literary masterpiece Journey to the West. This story portrays the adventurous journey of the mischievous but courageous Monkey King, Sun Wukong. With his incredible strength and intelligence, he helps the Tang Monk on his quest to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
I’m drawn to this story because the Monkey King represents the spirit of perseverance and self-discovery. His pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement serves as a reminder never to stop exploring and challenging ourselves.

【47题答案】
【答案】
