Aron Ralston was a pretty normal guy, but he always had an extremely adventurous desire to travel and see the world. During his childhood, his family moved to Denver, Colorado, a place offering many opportunities to climb mountains, explore, and eventually become the adventurer he'd always wanted to be. Back in 2003, Ralston was climbing in the remote, mountainous area of Southwestern Utah, when the unthinkable happened: Aron got stuck in a crevice(裂缝) in the rocks and pinned by a big stone that weighed over 360 kilograms. The weight of the rock crushed his arm, and he was pinned by it. Aron took photos of his bad situation (which was going to get a lot worse) as he waited for rescue teams(救援队) to come to remove the rock so that he could get out and home safe.
But rescuers never came. Aron waited for them for days till he lost his hope. He knew he had to do something. He was 18 meters above the floor of the valley where he was pinned in, and he had a pocketknife. He made what must have been one of the most difficult decisions of his life: to cut his own arm in order to survive. Aron cut the lower part of his arm off, having to wrench(扭动) his forearm against the big stone to break the bones, and then got himself down to the bottom of the valley, where he would begin to walk and search for help. Luckily, help arrived in the form of a helicopter(直升机) that spotted him, covered in blood. Aron had tied off the wound to keep himself from bleeding to death pretty successfully and would eventually make it out alive.
Ralston went on to become an inspiring speaker and continued to travel and climb mountains—he didn't let an incident that forced him to cut his own arm off, stop him from doing what he really loved.

A. Greeted. B. Found. C. Encouraged. D. Caught.
7.What helped Aron Ralston survive
A. His cruelty and anger. B. His effort and bravery.
C. His talent and creativity. D. His calmness and determination.
Do you ever worry that you might waste food During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people around the world were going hungry, but people came up with unique ways to try and help. One of these was to put fridges filled with food outside for people who needed it. The movement was very popular in the US, but there have also been community fridges all around the world as well.
Back in 2016, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Pauline, a restaurant owner in Kochi, India, had the bright idea to put a fridge in the street to stop unused food from going to waste and to help the needy. The idea came to her late one night when she saw a lady searching in a rubbish can for food. Watching the woman, she had a sad thought.
“The woman had been sleeping and was woken up by her hunger, so she had to go in search of food instead of sleeping,” said Pauline. She felt really sad that night because the restaurant had made lots of food that could have been given to her.
Over in the UK, the idea of communal (公共的) fridges was used in Sommerset to fight against food waste and hunger issues, encouraging people to donate and also take unwanted food. UK supermarkets and eateries like Marks & Spencer and Greggs have regularly helped the poor and hungry.
Now there is a large movement in the UK to provide communal fridges. One charity, Hubbub, now operates the Community Fridge Network. The network supports groups running communal fridges across the UK, which now number over 300 fridges. Hubbub has partnered with Co-op to provide 500 fridges so far.
“A fridge is so often much more than a fridge,” said Hubbub’s official website. “The fridges connect people together, address social isolation (隔绝) and provide people with the opportunity to access healthy food, try something new and save money.”
8.What inspired Pauline to put a fridge in the street
A. The poor conditions the Indian people lived in
B. The hunger she’d experienced in her childhood.
C. Seeing a lady looking for food in a rubbish can.
D. Throwing away unused food into the rubbish can.
9.What does Hubbub aim to do
A. Encourage people to donate for the poor.
B. Collect unwanted food to help the hungry.
C. Transport and repair fridges across the UK
D. Help the Community Fridge Network work well.
10.What does Hubbub’s official website say about the communal fridges
A. They change the global food issues.
B. They encourage a food-saving lifestyle.
C. They raise public awareness of healthy eating.
D. They bring people together by helping the needy.
11.What does the text focus on
A. Charity. B. Education. C. Health. D. Sports.
Healthcare professionals in four Canadian provinces can now prescribe (开处方) their patients passes to National Parks thanks to a new program, PaRX, which stresses the health benefits of spending time in nature in helping to manage physical and mental health.
PaRx was founded by the B. C. Parks Foundation in November 2020 and was officially supported by Parks Canada last month. Health professionals who register (注册) with the program can offer their patients a Parks Canada Discovery Pass, making it the country’s “first national nature prescription program”. The Parks Discovery Pass typically costs about $57 per adult per year.
“We’re really asking doctors to prioritize patients who live close to Parks Canada sites so they’ll have more access and can make it part of their everyday lives, and also those for whom the cost of a pass might be a barrier to nature access,” said Melissa Lem, president-elect of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
Studies have shown that spending time in nature has a range of health benefits—from lowering blood pressure and improving heart health to reducing stress and anxiety. PaRx recommends that patients spend at least two hours per week in the great outdoors, and at least 20 minutes each time, to get the most benefit.
The program is currently available in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It will eventually spread to every province.
PaRx also has benefits outside of the national parks, with many gardens offering free admission to visitors who show their prescriptions.
“There’s almost no medical condition that nature doesn’t make better. Rediscovering nature and then realizing how important it is to us has really shown that nature-health connection,” Lem said.
12.What do we know about the Parks Discovery Pass
A. It is low priced. B. It is designed for poor families.
C. It is well received. D. It is owned by registered doctors.
13.What does PaRx plan to do about the program next
A. Improve its service quality. B. Carry it out all over the country.
C. Do further research on its effect. D. Make it available free of charge.
14.What does Melissa Lem stress in the last paragraph
A. Nature matters a great deal to our health.
B. Not all patients can get treated by doctors.
C. People should learn to change their lifestyle.
D. People should place health above everything.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Canadians Are Living in Harmony with Nature
B. Canadians Are Trying to Get Away from Hospitals
C. Canadian Doctors Are Prescribing National Park Visits
D. Canadian Doctors Are Leading the Way in Medical Research

34.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。
It was thirty years ago, and I was twenty years old as a new teacher in an elementary school in Toronto, Canada. My class was made up of thirty-eight kids, one of them named Mike. Mike was a street kid. He never knew his parents and lived with an uncaring grandmother. His clothing was in need of repair. He was ten years old and looked in bad health. Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a difference. I decided to reach out to help the kid in need.
So it was that early in September that my special “foster father(养父)” relationship with Mike began with the permission of his grandmother. I became the only parent figure he ever had. Each day, I’d take him for meals. I showed him how to repair clothes. I taught him a lot of new skills like using a computer, taking photos and knowing about nature. Mike would then help me teach the rest of the class these skills. We all had a lot of fun, and a kind of un-spoken trust began to build up between us. Surprisingly, he appeared eager to join in this new father-son relationship.
Early in our special relationship, Mike told me his dream. Most of the kids in the class wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things, but not Mike. “I want to be a gangster(土匪), Mr. Kowalchuk!” he said. This was no joke—this was his wish, and he was most serious about it.
I believe all children have a gift. Everyone has the same chance to be the best person they can be. I realized this boy was smart, and that with a little love, attention, understanding, guidance and encouragement, he could probably achieve whatever he put his mind to. I explained to him that a good gangster had to read a large number of books on law in the law library and know criminal law(刑法) well like an excellent lawyer(律师). His young mind was eager and interested.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
If he wanted to be a “gangster”, I would do something to help him.

Years later, I got married and started a new life in another city.

32.答案:①whose②on③began④to experience⑤courses⑥introducing⑦the⑧extremely⑨is considered⑩ourselves
解析:①考查定语从句。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,设空处前面是Liu Ruying,结合句意可知此处表示“刘如英的祖父”,所以推断设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Liu Ruying,关系词在从句中作定语。故填whose。
②考查介词。句意:她的祖父对她影响非常大。a great influence on sb.对某人影响非常大的人。故填on。
③考查动词的时态。分析句子成分可知,设空处在句中作谓语动词,根据时间状语 At the age of eight 可知应使用一般过去时。故填began。
④考查动词不定式。该句中It作形式主语,此处应用动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to experience。
⑤考查名词复数。此处指我必须平衡我的学业和我感兴趣的其他课程。course意为“课程”时是可数名词,前面有other,应用复数形式。故填courses。
⑥考查动名词。the idea of doing sth.意为“做某事的想法”。故填introducing。
⑦考查冠词。with the help of...意为“在……的帮助下”。故填the。
⑧考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词love,应使用副词,故填extremely。
⑨考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处指京剧有悠久的历史并且被认为是我们国家的瑰宝。设空处在句中作谓语,此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,Beijing Opera与consider之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,主语为单数意义,谓语动词应用单数,故填is considered。
⑩考查反身代词。此处指我们应该让我们自己为弘扬我们的文化和保护世界文化多样性做出巨大努力。设空处作let的宾语,此处动作的承受者就是动作的执行者,应使用反身代词。故填ourselves。
33.答案:
Dear Ms. Brown,
I’m a 17-year-old international student from China. Learning that you are looking for a teaching assistant to read Chinese picture books to children, I would like to apply for the job.
As a native speak, I can speak very fluent Chinese, which I think is of great importance for this job. Besides, I often read picture books to my little brother before I came here. So I know how to get children interested in picture books.
I hope that you will take my application into account. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
34.答案:
If he wanted to be a “gangster”, I would do something to help him. One Saturday morning, I took him to the law library in our town. When he walked in, he was amazed by the huge collection in the library and was soon lost in it. That was how we spent each Saturday morning in the following years. He became interested in learning laws. As he grew up to a senior high school student, he told me that his dream was not to be a gangster, but a famous lawyer. I was glad that he had his real dream for his life.
Years later, I got married and started a new life in another city. Sadly, I lost touch with Mike, but I often thought of him, wondering what his life was like in all these years. Then, one day I received a call, “Mr. Kowalchuk, I’m Mike. I really miss you.” Shocked, my eyes filled up with tears. I learned about his great change, from a street kid, who dreamed of becoming a gangster, to a famous lawyer in Canada. “I really appreciate your love,” Mike said. I was really very proud of him! As a teacher, I really made a difference to him.
