I work with Volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organisation at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage their chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—lunch!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Later in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

Sometime in the early 1960s,a significant thing happened in Sydney,Australia.The city discovered its harbor.Then,one after another,Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks,superb beaches,and a culturally diverse population.But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds,a cheerful fellow in his early 30s,pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living.I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.After our third run Andrew shut down the engine,and we went our separate ways—he for a lunch break,I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean ” I asked.
“Oh,they’re replacing them with catamarans.Catamarans are faster,but they’re not so elegant,and they’re not fun to pilot.But that’s progress,I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days,change and progress are the watchwords(口号),and traditions are increasingly rare.Shirley Fitzgerald,the city’s official historian,told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s,Sydney swept aside much of its past,including many of its finest buildings.“Sydney is confused about itself,” she said.“We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one.It’s a conflict that we aren’t getting any better at resolving(解决).”
On the other hand,being young and old at the same time has its attractions.I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony.“Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me.“What people forget is that the Italians,when they came to Australia,brought 2000 years of their culture,the Greeks some 3000 years,and the Chinese more still.We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country.It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right,but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
12.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.Sydney’s striking architecture.
B.The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C.The key to Sydney’s development.
D.Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
13.What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds
A.He goes to work by boat.
B.He looks forward to a new life.
C.He pilots catamarans well.
D.He is attached to the old ferries.
14.What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney
A.It is losing its traditions.
B.It should speed up its progress.
C.It should expand its population.
D.It is becoming more international.
15.Which statement will the author probably agree with
A.A city can be young and old at the same time.
B.A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C.Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D.Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately,there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember,though,what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook(素描本) for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future.　1　 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.
Paint often and paint from life.There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.　2　
Continually challenge yourself to try something new.　3　 Artistic growth can be a bit painful.Welcome to the club;we’ve all been there.I love taking on challenges.I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
　4　 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback(反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and,in turn,have met some of the kindest people.They make me feel valued and respected,no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.　5　 Push through,give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B.Make career plans and set goals.
C.Don’t throw away your beginner art.
D.Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You’ll hit roadblocks,and you’ll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and,if needed,redefine your role.
G.You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.

4.A　解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.”可知,救助受伤动物是令人心碎的,因为不知道救助的动物是否能活下去,也就是为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费,这是不可避免的。

6.A　解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.”可知,在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后,它很快就安静下来,所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。
7.B　解析 推理判断题。根据前文描述可知,作者为小猫头鹰做了窝,并且帮助它找回了它的父母。小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐。作者的救助成功了,说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的“However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.”可推测,作者感觉很美好。

10.D　解析 词义猜测题。倒数第二段第一句提示是Rashid亲自登门, 故在这里restored指这家人归还他被盗的文件, 而非展示、分发或递送。故选D项。
11.C　解析 标题归纳题。本文讲述了一户善良的人家在垃圾桶内发现了Rashid被盗的重要文件并归还给他的故事。故C项标题 “变废为宝” 符合文章主旨。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过陈述不同人的观点讨论了悉尼在发展的过程中是否应该摒弃一些旧的传统。
12.C　解析 段落大意题。根据文章第一段第二句“The city discovered its harbor.”以及最后一句“But it is the harbor that makes the city.”可知,第一段主要讲了悉尼发展的关键。故选C项。
13.D　解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I’ll miss these old boats”和第五段第二句的“Catamarans are faster,but they’re not so elegant,and they’re not fun to pilot.”可知,Andrew喜爱(be attached to)这些旧的渡船(ferries)。故选D项。
14.A　解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段第二句“...Sydney swept aside much of its past...”可知,它丢掉了传统的东西。故选A项。
15.A　解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“being young and old at the same time has its attractions”和最后一段“He is right,but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.”可知,作者赞同Anthony的观点,认为一座城市可以同时既年轻又古老。故选A项。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。作者针对如何开始艺术之旅,提出了四条有用的建议。
1.C　解析 根据上文“Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook for small studies.(从小事开始。我建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习。)”以及下文“You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.(你会想要回顾一下自己的艺术之旅,看看自己已经取得多少进步。)”可知,空处应是一个过渡句,C项“Don’t throw away your beginner art.”可承上启下。
2.G　解析 根据本段主题句“Paint often and paint from life.”中的often以及设空前一句“Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.”中的“as much as possible”可知,这与G项中的repetition相呼应。
3.A　解析 根据本段第一句“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.”可知,A项“Get out of your comfort zone.(跳出舒适区。)”相一致。
4.D　解析 根据设空后的“Seeking and accepting constructive feedback is crucial to growth.”可知,D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.(如果你感觉这么做舒服,你就分享你的作品。)”与空后的feedback相吻合。
