It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.
The image is part of Vital Impacts consisting of a group of 100 photographers. The women-led non-profit was founded by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni. They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.
“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding; to help us see that the survival of the planet is closely connected with our own survival. As photographers, we have a huge opportunity to inform and influence change, but pressing the shutter (快门) is just the start,” Vitale said.
“For an image to have significance, it needs to reach people. To this end, we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world.”
The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet. Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two $20,000 environmental storytelling awards.

Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies value d at $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones.

For people who never complain about the cold, can put up with not bathing for a long time and would get used to little Internet access, ideal jobs have come up. A heritage charity is advertising job openings at the bottom of the world. Based in Antarctica (南极), successful applicants will have to adapt to seasonal darkness and constant daylight, subzero temperatures and no running water. But the upsides: chances to observe wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) said it was seeking “energetic adventurers ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime” in jobs that included managing a museum, post office and gift shop as well as conducting a penguin (企鹅) count. Those selected will live and work at Base A at Port Lockroy on Goudier Island.
“We get the wonder of seeing humpback and minke whales go past. On one side of the island we have the most majestic mountain range and on the other side we’ve got a glacier (冰川). It is really untouched nature and absolutely beautiful,” Bridie Martin-West, a 33-year-old midwife and the current base leader, said. The team arrived on the island at the same time when gentoo penguins were in their breeding season. The penguins are known for their loud call, but in the eyes of the woman living in London, it was still much quieter here.
A typical evening might be watching films, playing board games or carrying on an Antarctic tradition of people giving presentations on subjects they know something about.
Applications were opened yesterday to UK residents, with training beginning in August. There will be interviews and selection events before then. Martin-West remembered she was asked to put up tents blindfold while wearing oven gloves. “The training is like a cross between a boot camp and reality TV. It is very full-on. It is a lot of work, some of which is quite physical,” she said.
32. What does the underlined word “upsides” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Changes. B. Advantages. C. Opportunities. D. Standards.
33. What can we learn about Martin-West from paragraph 3
A. She struggled to adapt to Antarctica.
B. She had trouble dealing with homesickness.
C. She seemed to be tired of the boring landscape.
D. She found London noisier compared to the island.
34. Which word best describes the jobs mentioned in the text
A. Profitable. B. Effortless. C. Respectable. D. Challenging.
35. What does the text mainly tell us
A. Adventurers are called on to enjoy endless fun.
B. Antarctic jobs concerning penguins are popular.
C. Unique Antarctic jobs are waiting for adventurers.
D. The chance has come for people with curiosity.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I used to believe that being right was everything. In my mind, knowledge was power, and power was truth — clear, sharp, absolute. But the older I get, the more I realize how often truth can harm, and how the way you deliver it matters just as much as having it.
In high school, I was the kind of student who could solve a physics problem before the teacher had finished writing it. No one would deny that I was a genius. I believed in right and wrong like they were written in binary (二进制). Grey areas To me, those were for people who didn’t try hard enough to think clearly. I prized correctness above kindness, certainty over understanding. And nothing brought me more satisfaction than exposing a mistake, no matter who made it.
There was one day I can’t forget. One bright autumn morning, our class was chosen to host a model lesson for a newly arrived young teacher, Mr. Feng. The topic was climate change — a subject I adored and had read about passionately in books and articles.
The back rows were packed with the school’s top authorities: the principal, academic directors, and seasoned teachers, all watching closely. Mr. Feng had clearly rehearsed every line, but the tremble in his voice betrayed his nerves. He smiled tightly and tried to keep the lesson moving smoothly.
Then it happened.
Mr. Feng pointed to a slide about nuclear power and said, “Uraniam is one of the most powerful fuels…”
“It’s uranium (铀), not uraniam!” I stood up without being called on, loud enough for the hall to fall into silence.
My voice echoed, a spotlight in a room full of murmurs. My classmates turned to stare. The principal raised an eyebrow. I sat down, thrilled as always, at catching an error. To me, truth had been served — and that was what mattered most.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: The teacher froze, and then smiled faintly, saying “Thank you.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Years later, the memory hit me when I was doing a college speech contest.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I used to believe that being right was everything. In my mind, knowledge was power, and power was truth — clear, sharp, absolute. But the older I get, the more I realize how often truth can harm, and how the way you deliver it matters just as much as having it.
In high school, I was the kind of student who could solve a physics problem before the teacher had finished writing it. No one would deny that I was a genius. I believed in right and wrong like they were written in binary (二进制). Grey areas To me, those were for people who didn’t try hard enough to think clearly. I prized correctness above kindness, certainty over understanding. And nothing brought me more satisfaction than exposing a mistake, no matter who made it.
There was one day I can’t forget. One bright autumn morning, our class was chosen to host a model lesson for a newly arrived young teacher, Mr. Feng. The topic was climate change — a subject I adored and had read about passionately in books and articles.
The back rows were packed with the school’s top authorities: the principal, academic directors, and seasoned teachers, all watching closely. Mr. Feng had clearly rehearsed every line, but the tremble in his voice betrayed his nerves. He smiled tightly and tried to keep the lesson moving smoothly.
Then it happened.
Mr. Feng pointed to a slide about nuclear power and said, “Uraniam is one of the most powerful fuels…”
“It’s uranium (铀), not uraniam!” I stood up without being called on, loud enough for the hall to fall into silence.
My voice echoed, a spotlight in a room full of murmurs. My classmates turned to stare. The principal raised an eyebrow. I sat down, thrilled as always, at catching an error. To me, truth had been served — and that was what mattered most.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文：
The teacher froze, and then smiled faintly, saying “Thank you.” His voice was steady, but his ears had turned red. A few teachers exchanged awkward glances; some students stifled their laughter. He corrected himself and moved on, but the tension lingered in the room like a fog. After class, a few classmates gave me curious looks — some impressed, others unsure. I felt triumphant, but also strangely hollow. Mr. Feng didn’t meet my eyes as he gathered his materials. For the first time, I wondered if being right had cost someone else more than it rewarded me.
Years later, the memory hit me when I spoke at a college speech contest. Midway through my speech, I accidentally mispronounced “she” as “he”, changing the gender of a well-known scientist I was referencing. I froze, face burning, waiting for someone to call out the mistake. But no one did. The judges stayed focused. My peers listened, graciously silent and smiley. In that moment, I remembered how Mr. Feng must have felt when I publicly pointed out his mistake. I wasn’t brave then — I was unkind. As the audience’s applause echoed, I understood — sometimes, kindness speaks louder than truth.
