Often called “the Lady with the Lamp,” Florence Nightingale was a caring nurse and a leader. She is mostly known for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be.
Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family. Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community.
When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses. However, as the number of patient increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work.
When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues.
24. What did Nightingale’s parents expect her to do at a young age
A. To get married B. To travel in Italy
C. To study in Germany D. To help the poor and the sick
25. How did the doctors react when the nurse team arrived at first
A. Passionate B. Welcoming C. Uncooperative D. Indifferent
26. Why was Nightingale nicknamed “the Lady with the Lamp”
A. She liked collecting lamps
B. She often stayed up late for study
C. She brought lamps for the military hospital to use
D. She usually checked on the soldiers at night carrying a lamp
27. What will be the probable content for the next paragraph

For many, the idea of commuting (通勤) daily to a place of work might sound outdated. In the UK, at least, the shape of the working week is changing, and a new hybrid approach is becoming commonplace. This new look seem unavoidable; new technology means tasks traditionally done in the office can be done at home. And there’s the demand for a better work-life balance, too. All of this has been accelerated by the necessary changes brought on by the Covid pandemic.
One obvious change in the UK is that Friday has become the most popular day to work from home. One survey found it’s when just 13% of workers go into the office. It means employees can save on commuting costs and the price of lunches. Generally, employers thought the shift to hybrid working and home working had increased productivity rather than decreased it.
Monday is also becoming a “work from home” day: a recent study of mobile phone activity in the UK suggested a typical week in the office now runs from Tuesday to Thursday. This means companies have to think differently about the workspace they provide. There are going to be fewer people in offices for the longer term. A shorter office week isn’t great news for the city-centre shops, which depend on trade from workers, But suburban and small-town high streets are reporting an increase in footfall (客流量) as people work and shop locally.
There’s also an emerging trend for a shorter working week. Some companies are experimenting with a four-day working week—but with the same full-time pay. They have tried to make work time more efficient by cutting out unnecessary meetings and having shorter breaks, for example. They claim this has made workers more productive. All this makes you wonder if the act of going to work and doing the nine-to-five will become a thing of the past.
28. What is the driver for the changes mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Covid pandemic B. More work
C. New commuting approach D. Novel technologies
29. What does the underlined word “suburban” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean
A. City-centre B. Downtown C. Out-of-town D. Metropolitan
30. What can we know about hybrid working
A. It decreases productivity B. It helps companies cut staff
C. It lowers employees’ wage D. It promotes work-life balance
31. What is the best title for this passage
A. Workers Tired of Workplaces
B. Hybrid Working Trend in the UK
C. Home Working Makes Bosses Unhappy
D. Inefficient Nine-To-Five Working Mode
D
Do you love food Whether you’re a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy means eating certain things can actually be harmful-and now, it seems, this is affecting more and more of us.
An allergy is caused by the immune system (免疫系统) fighting substances in the environment, known as allergens (过敏原), that it should see as harmless. Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions, which means people have to spend their lives following strict dietary restrictions and worrying about the ingredients of everything they consume Allergy specialist Dr Adam Fox says, “If you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years... there are much more allergic problems around now than there were.”
Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs. Writing for the BBC website, Dr Alexandra Santos from King’s College London says “Food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe 2% of adults have food allergies.
So what might be the cause Dr Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them; it seems to be more environmental. She says possible factors are pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to microbes (微生物), which change how our immune systems respond.
She points out that it’s very common for migrants who move to another country to develop asthma (哮喘) and food allergies in their new location.
A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that’s not easy. So for now allergy sufferers must watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labelling.
32. Why does the author quote Dr Alexandra Santos’ words in the 3rd paragraph
A. To promote Dr. Santos’ research
B. To provide statistics for evidence
C. To compare different survey results
D. To prove children are weaker than adults
33. What’s the main idea of the 4th paragraph
A. The causes of food allergies
B. The functions of the immune system
C. Children are weaker to allergens
D. More work should be done to address food allergies
34. What can we infer from the passage!
A. Our immune system stays unchanged
B. Allergens are usually harmful substances
C. Foodies are more likely to be allergic to food
D. Allergic problems are more common these days
35. In which column will you probably find the text
A. Food and Health B. Food and Cooking
C. Children and Their Family D. Diseases and Their History

Want to appreciate contemporary art Start from a place of humility

40 and the art that they create reflects that difference.

This brings a new dimension to experiencing contemporary art, and is a surefire way to increase your appreciation of it.
A. Contemporary has a lot features
B. Appreciate it from another aspect
C. If you come into the exhibit with a prideful attitude
D. The artist has a different perspective and worldview than you do

When Sammy moved into her new house, she was excited to have a backyard where she could spend time outside. But when she went out to explore, she found that the yard was in such a mess. Weeds had taken over, and there were piles of trash and worn out toys everywhere.
At first, Sammy was discouraged. She had always dreamed of having a beautiful garden, but now it seemed like an impossible task. But then she remembered something her grandmother had told her: “With a little elbow grease and some determination, anything is possible.”
So Sammy set to work, She started by picking up all the trash and broken items, and then she began pulling weeds It was hard work, and she got blisters (水疱) on her hands from holding the hoe (锄头) so tightly, but she persevered. As she worked, Sammy started to notice things around her that she hadn’t seen before. A bird’s nest tucked away in a corner, a patch of bright yellow flowers peeking through the grass. She felt a sense of pride as she worked knowing that with each weed she pulled, she was one step closer to her dream garden.
One afternoon, as she was digging in the dirt, Sammy unearthed a small object. It was shiny and smooth, and at first, she thought it was just a rock. But as she cleaned it off, she saw that it was a small statue of a fairy (小精灵).
Sammy was shocked. She had always loved stories about fairies and magical creatures, and finding this statue made her feel like she was part of a fairy tale herself. She put the statue on a rock in the middle of her garden, and suddenly everything looked different. The weeds and ruins weren’t just obstacles to overcome; they were challenges to be conquered on her path to creating a magical building.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
