Passage 2
My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During
college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a
meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.
Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were
rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these
experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.
It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true —
this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how
science is related to their daily lives.
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes
and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that
passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is
sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.
4 ．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1
A ．Strength. B ．Confusion C ．Preference. D ．Struggles.
5 ．What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters
A ．Things got worse for him. B ．Nervousness remained with him.
C ．He became a polished writer. D ．He began to feel more competitive.
6 ．What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day
A ．He must rise up to defend science.
B ．It was a good chance to learn science.
C ．It was a project organized by Toastmasters.
D ．He couldn’t have people attacking his fellow scientists.
7 ．What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech
A ．Frustration can be a stepping stone to success.
B ．Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable.
C ．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.
D ．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.

4.【福建省福建师范大学附属中学 2022-2023 学年高三上学期试题】
I’m a talker. I’m into debating, gossiping and teasing. I solve problems by talking them through. This works perfectly well when I have people to talk to. Under lockdown, however, I’ve only had my partner, Peter. We not only lived, worked and traveled together, we socialized together, too. Under the first UK lockdown, our constant
closeness began to feel uncomfortable.
For the first time in our 10 years together, we needed to be alone. I tried to manufacture this by going on walks
on my own, but a short walk in the local park wasn’t doing the job. I considered my options and hit upon an idea:
the semi-solo hike. Could we do a circular hike but walk in different directions This would give us the space and peace of a solo hike. It felt like a promising compromise, so I told him about it. He thought it was thoroughly silly
but agreed to give it a try.
We started with a four-mile loop(环形)from Reeth. At the start, we parted ways. At first, I was aware of how
close we were, which lessened the appeal. Walking alone offers freedom and alone time, but here I was with my
boyfriend nearby. As I gained ground, however, I found myself very much alone. I set my own pace, and I decided
to take my time.
I sat on a rock and breathed out. That moment-with the weak sun through the clouds and the breeze blowing
across makeshift(临时的)pools-felt extraordinary to me. I was born and raised in London and had never imagined leaving until I met an outdoorsman(野外活动爱好者). Now, my former life as a city girl felt crazy. Realizing what I had gained, I felt the tension leave me. There, in the chilly air, I no longer needed to talk. The semi-solo hike gave us a shared experience with added room to breathe. I didn’t see Peter en route(在途中)but reunited back where we
started, both of us sheepish(难为情的)but pleased. The semi-solo hike is admittedly silly in theory, but for me it
has been a lifeline. It has given me the gift of time alone and, in a year of constant closeness, the joy of reuniting.
1 ．Why did the author decide to do a semi-solo hike
A ．To get rid of the lockdown. B ．To find some individual space.
C ．To meet more people to socialize. D ．To seek the pleasure of reuniting
2 ．How did the author feel at the beginning of the hike
A ．Curious. B ．Thrilled. C ．Unsatisfied. D ．Relaxed.
3 ．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A ．Interest is the best teacher. B ．Exercise helps increase confidence.
C ．Living in the city limits our imagination. D ．An appropriate distance creates happiness.
4 ．What is the best title for the text
A ．Hiking together B ．Spending time apart C ．Taking exercise alone D ．Reuniting with my partner

Travel with Kids to Pittsburgh
This is an exciting time to visit Pittsburgh. The city and surrounding region is now perfect for family fun. Here
are some of Pittsburgh’s must-visit family attractions:

Ligonier—about an hour’s drive east of the city. Here, kids can learn about George Washington—he served at the
fort more than 250 years ago! Costumed (装扮的) soldiers demonstrate daily life, including welcoming visitors to where they slept, ate and prepared for battle. In October, the village of Ligonier hosts the annual Fort Ligonier Days
with live music, performances, fireworks and more.
Just Ducky Tour
Pittsburgh’s Just Ducky Tour takes riders from land to water on one boat! The jeep-like boats start on land for

Passage 1
Getting lost in vast stretches of nature is the most appealing feature of the world’s second-largest nation —
Canada. These are the top five must-see destinations to visit in Canada.
Vancouver
Planning a trip to Vancouver won’t let you down if you re looking for scenic beauty, a warm climate, a lively

centre with vast underground shopping. You can lose yourself in the ancient streets lined with cobble stones and
beautiful old buildings in Old Montreal. The historic streets of Montreal are also lined with shops, hotels and
restaurants, making it a popular destination for fashionists.

Passage 2
George Turner, 48, owner of Penuel Bicycles in Inglewood, California, talks with respect about his childhood
BMX dirt bike. “I was mad keen on cycling.” he says. “I did whatever it took to get on that bike, as long as I was
home before dark.” Home meant housework, homework and annoying brothers. But a bike meant escapes.
In 2010, George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood, and opened his bicycle shop, Penuel
Bicycles. The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream. Before that, he had worked for years delivering boxes for FedEx
while selling bike accessories online.
“Bicycles kept me out of trouble,” George remembers. “They were part of my life.” He figured that was still true for kids when he opened Penuel Bicycles. George expected parents to crowd inside, eager to buy shiny new
bikes for their kids. He looked forward to helping boys and girls discover the joy of riding — and stay out of
trouble — just as he had.
None of that happened, however.
George found that kids these days lead a different life. Usually, they don’t want a bike for their birthday. And most of them ever don’t know how to ride a bike. Instead of getting out and riding, they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors. As kids don’t ride, it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes. Nine
years after opening his Penuel Bicycles, George feared that he had to close the shop.
Then in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation. Surprisingly, the pandemic saved George’s business. During the pandemic, many American people found that cycling was a good way to exercise and also a safe way to
get around. The demand for new bikes kept growing and people in George’s neighborhood pulled out their old
bikes and wheeled them to Penuel Bicycles to get repaired. Now he is trying his best to meet his customers’ needs
and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding.
24 ．What did the bike mean to George in his childhood
A ．Taking up sports. B ．Getting away from daily routine.
C ．A precious birthday gift. D ．A convenient vehicle.
25 ．What is George’s lifelong dream
A ．Making a big fortune. B ．Being a member of FedEx.
C ．Opening his own bicycle shop. D ．Helping people pursue riding pleasure.
26 ．Why was George’s bike business once in a tough situation
A ．The lifestyle of kids changed. B ．He wasn’t good at management.
C ．Bikes were not as charming as before. D ．His business was affected by the pandemic.
27 ．What’s the best title of the passage
A ．Joy of Wheel B ．Passion for Exercise
C ．Improvement of Bike Business D ．Increasing Demand for New Bikes

It is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort-the Nobel Prize.
Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what.
Physiology or Medicine
Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies.
He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones.
Physics
Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the
second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from
Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the
way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from
Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal
chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr.
Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W.
Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they
improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal
functions.

Passage 2
It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor and his daughter, Ava,
were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home. Suddenly, the
calm was disturbed by the sharp sound of tires.
Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it
slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the SUV directly ahead of them, and came to rest dangling over the
railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.
And then a scream came from the pickup. Bauer ran to it. The driver pointed down. In the water was a car seat.
A girl, about two years old, was terrified, floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.
Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the
pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock.
He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth
was the most he could hope for. And were there rocks this close to the concrete pillar(柱子) of the bridge
He climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy
bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes
nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand.
After several attempts, thankfully, her eyes were opened, focused on him. He pulled her close, hugging her to
shield her from the cold.
Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she

Passage 2
My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During
college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a
meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.
Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these
experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.
It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true —
this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how
science is related to their daily lives.
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes
and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that
passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is
sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.
4 ．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1
A ．Strength. B ．Confusion C ．Preference. D ．Struggles.
5 ．What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters
A ．Things got worse for him. B ．Nervousness remained with him.
C ．He became a polished writer. D ．He began to feel more competitive.
6 ．What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day
A ．He must rise up to defend science.
B ．It was a good chance to learn science.
C ．It was a project organized by Toastmasters.
D ．He couldn’t have people attacking his fellow scientists.
7 ．What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech
A ．Frustration can be a stepping stone to success.
B ．Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable.
C ．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.
D ．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.

I’m a talker. I’m into debating, gossiping and teasing. I solve problems by talking them through. This works perfectly well when I have people to talk to. Under lockdown, however, I’ve only had my partner, Peter. We not only lived, worked and traveled together, we socialized together, too. Under the first UK lockdown, our constant
closeness began to feel uncomfortable.
For the first time in our 10 years together, we needed to be alone. I tried to manufacture this by going on walks
on my own, but a short walk in the local park wasn’t doing the job. I considered my options and hit upon an idea:
the semi-solo hike. Could we do a circular hike but walk in different directions This would give us the space and peace of a solo hike. It felt like a promising compromise, so I told him about it. He thought it was thoroughly silly
but agreed to give it a try.
We started with a four-mile loop(环形)from Reeth. At the start, we parted ways. At first, I was aware of how
close we were, which lessened the appeal. Walking alone offers freedom and alone time, but here I was with my
boyfriend nearby. As I gained ground, however, I found myself very much alone. I set my own pace, and I decided
to take my time.
I sat on a rock and breathed out. That moment-with the weak sun through the clouds and the breeze blowing
across makeshift(临时的)pools-felt extraordinary to me. I was born and raised in London and had never imagined leaving until I met an outdoorsman(野外活动爱好者). Now, my former life as a city girl felt crazy. Realizing what I had gained, I felt the tension leave me. There, in the chilly air, I no longer needed to talk. The semi-solo hike gave us a shared experience with added room to breathe. I didn’t see Peter en route(在途中)but reunited back where we
started, both of us sheepish(难为情的)but pleased. The semi-solo hike is admittedly silly in theory, but for me it
has been a lifeline. It has given me the gift of time alone and, in a year of constant closeness, the joy of reuniting.
1 ．Why did the author decide to do a semi-solo hike
A ．To get rid of the lockdown. B ．To find some individual space.
C ．To meet more people to socialize. D ．To seek the pleasure of reuniting
2 ．How did the author feel at the beginning of the hike
A ．Curious. B ．Thrilled. C ．Unsatisfied. D ．Relaxed.
3 ．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A ．Interest is the best teacher. B ．Exercise helps increase confidence.
C ．Living in the city limits our imagination. D ．An appropriate distance creates happiness.

●You are again able to offset (碳补偿) flight carbon emissions, this time with a service that combines
sustainable aviation (航空) fuel and certified climate projects. We at Finnair have ambitious emissions targets and
our customers wish for a simple and transparent way to contribute.
●Finnair Plus turned 30 in May. We are committed to developing the programme further to serve you in the best possible way. To make your flight bookings smoother, we recently upgraded the experience of booking award
flights in the Finnair app.
Finally, I’d like to thank you for your patience when we haven’t got things quite right. Wherever you’re
travelling in the next few months, I hope it’s memorable. Thank you for flying Finnair.
Kind Regards,

Travel with Kids to Pittsburgh
This is an exciting time to visit Pittsburgh. The city and surrounding region is now perfect for family fun. Here
are some of Pittsburgh’s must-visit family attractions:
Eat Pie at Sand Hill Berries
The homemade pies at Sand Hill Berries are better than what’s found on any kids menu, and everyone loves
fresh fruit pie! The family farm has been growing strawberries and blackberries since 1981, using the fruit for
homemade jams and pies. It’s worth a drive to the farm’s lovely outdoor Cabin Cafe. Kids and adults will enjoy a
slice of pie in what feels like a secret garden.
Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh
For active kids with energy to burn, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is a perfect place. Kids can play in
the Garage—an interactive area that includes a parachute (降落伞) launcher and toy car raceways. At the
Makeshop, kids use skills to create a take-home piece of woodworking or sewing. Museum exhibits change often
and make for fresh repeat visits.
Fort Ligonier
History comes to life at Fort Ligonier, a re-created fort (兵营) from the French and Indian War located in
Ligonier—about an hour’s drive east of the city. Here, kids can learn about George Washington—he served at the
fort more than 250 years ago! Costumed (装扮的) soldiers demonstrate daily life, including welcoming visitors to where they slept, ate and prepared for battle. In October, the village of Ligonier hosts the annual Fort Ligonier Days
with live music, performances, fireworks and more.
Just Ducky Tour
Pittsburgh’s Just Ducky Tour takes riders from land to water on one boat! The jeep-like boats start on land for
a driving tour of the business and cultural districts of downtown, before driving into the river! The tour guide
makes an effort to tell fun stories about the landmarks. Kids will love the group participation and enjoy the
excitement of driving right into the river!

Passage 1
Getting lost in vast stretches of nature is the most appealing feature of the world’s second-largest nation —
Canada. These are the top five must-see destinations to visit in Canada.
Vancouver
Planning a trip to Vancouver won’t let you down if you re looking for scenic beauty, a warm climate, a lively
atmosphere, and plenty of fun things to do. Situated on the Pacific Ocean’s shores, the city is a year-round
destination for outdoor enthusiasts. There are mountains to ski just outside the city, beaches all around, and Stanley
Park’s dense rainforest just a few blocks from downtown’s glass skyscrapers.
Niagara Falls
On the border of Canada and the United States, Niagara Falls is a series of three awe-inspiring falls. Horseshoe
Falls, located on the Ontario side of the falls, provides the best views and most activities. At night, fireworks light
up Niagara Falls in Ontario’s Queen Victoria Park, one of the best spots to see the falls from the city.
Montreal
Montreal is a unique destination with a magnificent historic district dating back to the 1600s and a modern city
centre with vast underground shopping. You can lose yourself in the ancient streets lined with cobble stones and
beautiful old buildings in Old Montreal. The historic streets of Montreal are also lined with shops, hotels and
restaurants, making it a popular destination for fashionists.
Whistler

mountains offer numerous hiking and climbing options.
Toronto
Nearly a hundred different ethnic groups call Toronto home, making it one of the world’s most ethnically
diverse metropolises. It’s not uncommon to see street signs written in various languages, and each neighbourhood

Passage 2
George Turner, 48, owner of Penuel Bicycles in Inglewood, California, talks with respect about his childhood BMX dirt bike. “I was mad keen on cycling.” he says. “I did whatever it took to get on that bike, as long as I was
home before dark.” Home meant housework, homework and annoying brothers. But a bike meant escapes.
In 2010, George transformed his childhood love into a livelihood, and opened his bicycle shop, Penuel
Bicycles. The shop fulfilled a lifelong dream. Before that, he had worked for years delivering boxes for FedEx
while selling bike accessories online.
“Bicycles kept me out of trouble,” George remembers. “They were part of my life.” He figured that was still true for kids when he opened Penuel Bicycles. George expected parents to crowd inside, eager to buy shiny new
bikes for their kids. He looked forward to helping boys and girls discover the joy of riding — and stay out of
trouble — just as he had.
None of that happened, however.
George found that kids these days lead a different life. Usually, they don’t want a bike for their birthday. And most of them ever don’t know how to ride a bike. Instead of getting out and riding, they prefer spending their time on their phones indoors. As kids don’t ride, it is impossible that parents crowd in his shop to buy new bikes. Nine
years after opening his Penuel Bicycles, George feared that he had to close the shop.
Then in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation. Surprisingly, the pandemic saved George’s business. During the pandemic, many American people found that cycling was a good way to exercise and also a safe way to
get around. The demand for new bikes kept growing and people in George’s neighborhood pulled out their old
bikes and wheeled them to Penuel Bicycles to get repaired. Now he is trying his best to meet his customers’ needs
and hopes that his customers can really discover the joy of riding.
24 ．What did the bike mean to George in his childhood
A ．Taking up sports. B ．Getting away from daily routine.
C ．A precious birthday gift. D ．A convenient vehicle.
25 ．What is George’s lifelong dream
A ．Making a big fortune. B ．Being a member of FedEx.
C ．Opening his own bicycle shop. D ．Helping people pursue riding pleasure.
26 ．Why was George’s bike business once in a tough situation
A ．The lifestyle of kids changed. B ．He wasn’t good at management.
C ．Bikes were not as charming as before. D ．His business was affected by the pandemic.
27 ．What’s the best title of the passage
A ．Joy of Wheel
C ．Improvement of Bike Business
B ．Passion for Exercise
D ．Increasing Demand for New Bikes

second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the
way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from
Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal
chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr.
Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W.
Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they
improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal
functions.

Passage 2
It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor and his daughter, Ava,
were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home. Suddenly, the
calm was disturbed by the sharp sound of tires.
Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it
slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the SUV directly ahead of them, and came to rest dangling over the
railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.
And then a scream came from the pickup. Bauer ran to it. The driver pointed down. In the water was a car seat.
A girl, about two years old, was terrified, floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.
Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the
pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock.
He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth
was the most he could hope for. And were there rocks this close to the concrete pillar(柱子) of the bridge
He climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy
bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes
nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand.
After several attempts, thankfully, her eyes were opened, focused on him. He pulled her close, hugging her to
shield her from the cold.
Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she
too could save lives.
