I got my first job as a waitress when I was 20. It was tiring but interesting. It paid for my college tuition (学费), housing and even a camera.
When I picked up a camera, I was attracted to it. I wanted to take pictures for the university newspaper, The Minnesota Daily. At that time, it was one of the largest newspapers in the state. It was produced by young reporters who later worked for every major magazine in the country. For the final two years of college, I just wanted to be a photographer (摄影师). When I finished college, I was hired by The Worthington Daily Globe.
Jim Vance, who won many news prizes, was the top-notch manager of The Globe. He had high expectations for all the staff. With little or no instruction from him, 35 writers and photographers were expected to fill the paper with important stories for readers. It was perfect training for my future career at National Geographic.
I was the youngest photographer when I arrived at National Geographic in 1978. For at least ten years, I just tried not to make mistakes. I was grateful for the opportunity, but it was very difficult for me. With each new task, I feared that they would find out I couldn’t do the job. On many tasks, the most challenging part was the transportation. Over the years, I traveled by horse, car, train, truck and all sorts of old vehicles. I traveled by mule (骡子) in Mexico, by ship along the Indian Ocean, and by fishing boat in the Sea of Galilee. Wherever I traveled in the world, I wanted my pictures to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Amsterdam is well-known for its network of canals (运河), but many may not know that its waterways have become a danger for the cats in the city. They are endangered together by its commonly-seen canals, high walls and narrow streets.
Now, Amsterdam is trying to build mini wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks to help the cats if they fall in the water. For this project, over 100,000 euros will be spent to build the tiny staircases at various points along its waterways as part of a cat safety drive.
Euro News details that cats accidentally fall into canals when something scares them. While they are able to swim, they quickly run out of energy as the water weighs down their fur.
This creative plan to give cats and other small animals a way out of the city’s canals which can endanger them was developed after 19 cats died in the city’s canals in the last six months. It was presented by Judith Krom of the Party for the Animals. Krom, who has called this a simple move that can prevent animal suffering, says this shows the city’s wish to take responsibility for protecting the lives of animals.
It turns out that the city’s animal welfare chief, Zita Pels, had previously supported this step, but she had put the idea aside because there had not been enough money. Krom, however, found out unused 100,000 euros in her biodiversity budget for wildlife, giving this project the green light.
Today, the city’s Dierenambulance Amsterdam animal welfare organization is on call to provide an ambulance service around the clock to help animals in medical need. It has been tasked with working with the city to choose sites where the most accidental cat falls have happened.
8. Why is Amsterdam trying to build staircases along its waterways
A．To protect cats.
B．To make money.
C．To attract tourists.
D．To beautify the canals.
9. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3
A．To show the weakness of local tourism.
B．To tell the reason for driving cats away.
C．To prove the risk of swimming in canals.
D．To stress the necessity of building staircases.
10. What made Zita Pels fail to take the step
A．Having little time.
B．Shortage of money.
C．Her dislike for the idea.
D．Failing to find suitable sites.
11. What is the text mainly about
A．A study on cats.
B．A city project.
C．A safe home for animals.
D．A travel destination.
D
A study led by Australian researchers warns that around 1,500 of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This concerning research, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, explores different factors that are putting pressure on endangered languages.
The researchers find that city development, such as roads connecting cities to remote regions, is one of the key factors giving rise to language loss. As roads expand, dominant (占主导地位的) languages like English tend to replace local languages. Additionally, major languages are increasingly taking the place of those spoken by smaller communities.
Australia has a particularly poor record when it comes to language preservation (保护). The country is among those with the highest rates of language loss globally. Before European colonization (殖民化), over 250 native languages were spoken in Australia. Today, only about 40 remain, and about 10 are being taught to children.
Professor Felicity Meakins from the University of Queensland, one of the study’s co-authors, explains that this language loss is part of an ongoing process driven by colonization and globalization. She points out that in Australia, native languages have been suppressed (压制) due to strict colonial rules. People were once punished for speaking their native languages, and these experiences have caused lasting pain.
As the world gets ready for UNESCO’s Code of Native Language, the researchers say their findings serve as a good reminder of the need for more action to save at-risk languages. Every language is unique and valuable for our cultural diversity. The study highlights the necessity of protecting endangered languages to ensure they are passed down to future generations.
12. What do the researchers think of city development
A．It improves road safety.
B．It serves poor communities.
C．It creates well-paid jobs.
D．It is a big threat to languages.
13. What can be inferred regarding Australia’s language preservation
A．It is in a bad situation.
B．It is well received.
C．It has made strict rules.
D．It sets a good example.
14. What does the study suggest
A．Doing further research.
B．Interviewing language experts.
C．Making more efforts.
D．Never speaking native languages.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Preserving a Dominant Language Globally
B．Saving the World’s Endangered Languages
C．More People Are Attracted to Native English
D．About 1,500 Local Languages Are Recognized

五、书面表达
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。
There’s an autumn day that I recall (回忆) every time I find myself caught up in the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of life.
I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth.
Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him.
One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed.
Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word.
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。
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to make a sincere apology to you. I feel terribly sorry for failing to finish the questionnaire on high school students’ after-school activities before this Wednesday.
I have been busy preparing for my upcoming final exams recently, which takes up most of my spare time and makes me miss the deadline.
I will finish and sort out the questionnaire carefully this weekend and send it to you as soon as possible. I hope you can accept my apology and forgive my carelessness.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
五、读后续写范文
After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. He told me gently that weeds were always part of a garden, just like troubles were part of life. It was useless to be angry and anxious. Instead of focusing on annoying weeds, we should learn to notice the beautiful roses growing vigorously in the garden. His words calmed my restless heart gradually. I stopped weeding roughly and began to work patiently alongside him.
Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” We watered the delicate roses together, whose sweet fragrance filled the air. Looking at the lovely blooming roses, I felt all my pressure and anxiety fade away. That afternoon taught me a valuable lesson. Life is full of pressure and troubles, but we should never lose ourselves in anxiety. Instead, we should slow down, calm down and appreciate the beauty around us.
