Kitwe, Zambia was not in any of the Rough Guide books for Africa. It appeared that we definitely were not headed to one of the main attractions on the global tourist route. My husband, Robert, and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia. The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development. We were there to share our agricultural experience and knowledge with the African farmers.
We left snow covered Alberta, Canada in January. We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the local Zambians. The banana plantation would help make the small mission station self-supporting. It would also teach banana farming to the students there. Students would go on to teach others. It has done that and more. Through the jobs created several families now have food, education for their children, and enough housing. The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work there.
My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system. But the story he tells most often is of the young man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere. He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him. A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America — necessary transportation for people and produce. Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s ability to get to work.
“We sure appreciate your sacrifice (牺牲),” our organizer often said. For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honour to have the opportunity to be absorbed in a culture and place so far from our own, or be able to exchange ideas and thoughts. The volunteer work was never a sacrifice. It was only an honour.
24．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1
A．She likes to take adventures. B．She knows a lot about agriculture.
C．She started the Heart of Africa Mission. D．She used to live in Africa for many years.

C．To tell them about his work. D．To beg them to repair his bike.
27．Why did the author consider the volunteer work an honour
A．It enabled her to work harder. B．It brought her public recognition.
C．It made her appreciate her life more. D．It allowed her to experience different things.
According to a new research, flowers are listening. Researchers found that plants can actually hear the sound of passing bees and produce sweeter nectar (花蜜) to attract them. The team discovered that within minutes of sensing the sound waves of bee wings, the concentration of the sugar in the plant’s nectar was increased by 20 percent.
Also, flowers can remove the wind noise coming from the background. These capabilities can give plant advantages for their spreading pollen (花粉). The researchers showed that plants can rapidly respond to the sound of passing bees.
Before the experiments, researchers made the assumption that plants can pick up the sound waves and that this might be part of the reason why many plants’ flowers are bowl-shaped, to better trap the sounds. Across several experiments involving more than 650 evening primrose flowers (月见草), nectar production was measured in response to silence, sound at three different frequency levels, and a recording of the buzzing noise made by bees. Sure enough, both the field recording of buzzing bees and the low-frequency sounds that closely matched the recording were enough to change the mix of the nectar in just three minutes. The silence and the high and mid frequency sounds had no effect. The team also tried the experiments with plants that had some flower removed. No change in nectar production was noted, indicating that it is indeed the flowers that have the job of the ears.
The more sweet nectar comes out, the more will be the chances for pollen to be spread and also makes it more likely that the insects will return to flowers of the same species in the future. However, more work needs to be carried out on how the sounds are turned into a trigger (诱因) for sweeter nectar production.
28．How can plants attract bees according to the text
A．By producing more nectar.
B．By increasing the sugar in their nectar.
C．By spreading more pollen for the bees.
D．By removing the wind noise coming from the background.
29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．How researchers made the discovery.
B．Why researchers did the experiments.
C．What use can be made of the discovery.
D．What the importance of the discovery is.
30．What can we learn from the text
A．High sound increases sugar in the nectar.
B．Flowers have no effect on nectar production.
C．More research is needed to fully understand the process.
D．The wind noise makes it easier for plants to spread pollen.
31．Where is the text most likely from
A．A book review. B．A science fiction.
C．A textbook. D．A newspaper.
In the future, we may be doing a job that doesn’t even exist yet now. The requirements, levels and styles of all kinds of work are being updated very fast, which means we need to understand how we can make ourselves qualified for future roles that may appear.
There’s no way to tell exactly what skills will be needed, and which ones will become unnecessary. However, based on current observations and patterns of how artificial intelligence (AI) and robots work, we have some basic ideas about how we can prepare for the future.
According to a report, human cognitive (认知的) and interpersonal skills will be very important requirements in future workplaces, even with the rise of AI. One thing we need to understand is that it is humans that will manage and control machines. Future workers will need new skills to work with machines. The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner.
Lifelong learning enables an individual to learn anywhere and anytime. Lifelong learning isn’t just about digital or AI skill. It’s about having a mindset that allows the brain to be open and receptive at any given time and place.
The style of work changes over time, so do styles of learning. Different people learn in different ways. Traditional classroom or online platforms might not be the most useful approaches in the future. Since information is everywhere, it takes an open mindset to be always ready to effectively absorb, evaluate (评价) and make sense of the information that is so easily accessible wherever we are.
At the same time, adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things. However, a lifelong learning mindset can help change this. Moreover, lifelong learning increases employ ability. Amazon says lifelong learning will help its employees use new technologies. And many Amazon employees say it’ll open new opportunities for them to grow and change into new roles.
32．What does the author say about future jobs
A．They might come in unexpected forms.
B．They are for people of high intelligence.
C．They will be mainly performed by robots.
D．They need employees to take on many roles.
33．Which will be the most significant skill in future workplaces
A．Having a different mindset. B．The ability to keep learning.
C．Having the knowledge of AI. D．The ability to control machines.
34．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to
A．The shortage of digital skills. B．The loss of new opportunities.
C．The traditional way of doing things. D．The employee’s lack of adaptability.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．It Is Never Too Late to Learn
B．It Is Difficult to Be a Lifelong Learner
C．Lifelong Learning Is the Future of Work
D．Lifelong Learning Will Help People Create New Jobs
Tai Chi, or Taijiquan in Chinese, is an outstanding part of traditional Chinese culture that is valuable in promoting health, developing self-defence skills, and improving concentration and overall well-being. Here are five reasons for you to try Tai Chi.
● Tai Chi is good for both body and mind.
Tai Chi is a gentle martial art that originated in China. It’s called “meditation (冥想) in motion”, because it involves slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment. 36
● It’s easy on the body.
Tai Chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. It is low-impact, meaning there is little risk of damage to your joints (关节). 37 It’s an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people, including those in wheelchairs.
● It may promote brain power.
38 Studies have found that regular Tai Chi can improve cognitive functioning in older people with dementia (痴呆) and without. Given that it’s considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win.
● You can do it at home.
Classes are useful not just for teaching the movements but also for meeting like-minded people. 39 You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences.
● It has the feel-good factor.
Practising Tai Chi can reduce one’s stress and anxiety. 40 There are other mental health benefits of Tai Chi, according to a research, though further research is needed.
A．Benefits aren’t just physical.
B．You can go at your own pace.
C．It can also increase one s confidence.
D．But there are videos available online too.

Callie was a high school student. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was keen (热衷的) on various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her.
On a sunny afternoon, her favourite neighbour, Mrs. Baker, visited her.
“I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said. “Do you know the empty lot (空地) down the street ” Callie nodded, smiling. The place is a mess, covered with rubbish. “The city is letting us use the lot for a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.”
“Sure, Mrs. Baker! ” Callie said cheerfully. “I will be happy to help you!”
Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have a good place to go.”
At school the next morning, Callie’s best friend Tamara was waiting for her in their classroom. Tamara said excitedly, “My mum bought tickets to go to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the new amusement park to open.
Callie sighed and worried about her problem for the rest of the day.
Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school ” her mother asked.
Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mum ” Callie asked.

W: That may work for other people, but it’s not my style and it’s expensive. I’d rather buy those videos and exercise at home.

【原文】
M: I’m delighted to welcome you all here to our magical little outdoor play centre. But before we let you, and more importantly your kids, get down to business enjoying yourselves, I just want to make everyone familiar with the centre’s main attractions.
If you look at the map I’ve given you, let’s start by following the entrance road straight through the centre to the attraction on the right of the bridge. That is the Petting Zoo, a lovely little area where children can spend time in the company of our very friendly farm animals. Alternatively, taking a right at the Petting Zoo will bring down to the Fairy Palace. If I can draw your attention to the Waterfall and Frog Pond, you’ll notice that there are two attractions close by. Following the road that leads to a dead end takes you to Winter Wonderland. Here, we use snow machines to create a magical world of winter delights. On the other side of the map, just down from the Fairy Palace, there’s another kind of wonderland — Waterworld. Waterworld is for the older kids only, a place where they can play about in the water to their heart’s content. The last attraction I have to show you then is the Craft Zone, which is a little closer to the entrance than Waterworld. Here the kids can learn how to make all sorts of beautiful things like cards and shiny rings.

66．Dear Jack,
Nice to receive your letter. Learning that you are having trouble with your study, I am writing to offer my advice.
First, have a practical goal. A goal is like a star guiding you in the dark. Without it, you may lose your way. Second, study with a partner. Find a partner to study with so that you can encourage each other when you feel discouraged. Last but not least, balance study with exercise. When you feel tired after study, doing some exercise will refresh you.
I hope my advice will be helpful. Looking forward to hearing your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One possible version:
Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. She wanted to go to Fun World, but in the end, she decided that her promise to her neighbour was more important. The next day at school, Callie apologized to Tamara and told her that she would not be able to go to Fun World. Tamara tried to understand, but Callie could tell that she was disappointed. The girls hardly spoke for the rest of the week. They kept silent with great care.
On Saturday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. “Hi, Callie,” her neighbour said, “thank you for helping us today.” “You’re welcome,” Callie said. Callie smiled as she walked across the lot with a large rubbish bag. “Do you need any help ” a voice behind her asked. Callie turned, surprised to see Tamara. “I want to help you. My mum said she would take us to Fun World next weekend.” With joint efforts, they finished the cleaning. Both Callie and Tamara have learnt that once a promise is made, it needs to be kept.
