A
Some countries stand out as particularly attractive destinations for people trying to move abroad —
expatriates (abb. expat) due to their welcoming atmosphere, economic opportunities, and high quality of life. Here
are a few of the best countries to consider for your new home:
Canada: Known for its stunning natural landscapes, Canada consistently ranks among the top destinations for
第 3页/共 12页
expats. With a strong economy, excellent healthcare system, and diverse cultural scene, Canada offers abundant
opportunities for career advancement, outdoor recreation, and community engagement. Plus, it’s an easy move with
minimal culture shock and expense.
Australia: With its sunny climate, laid-back lifestyle, and thriving economy, Australia is a popular choice for
expats seeking adventure. The country’s strong job market and world-class education system make it an attractive
destination for professionals, students, and families alike. Australia’s immigration policies are stricter, though. It’s
easier to move to Australia if you are considered a skilled worker, have a work permit, and have already secured a
job.
Germany: Renowned for its high-quality infrastructure, efficient public services, and robust economy,
Germany is a magnet for expats seeking stability and prosperity. Germany offers a high standard of living and
abundant opportunities for personal and professional growth. While things are certainly different than in America,
you won’t experience too much culture shock in Germany.
Singapore: As a global hub for finance, technology, and innovation, Singapore attracts expats from around the
world with its dynamic economy and urban lifestyle. Singapore offers a safe and welcoming environment for
residents with its modern facilities and pristine communities.
1 Which country will a person enjoying natural beauty choose to move to
A. Canada. B. Australia. C. Germany. D. Singapore.
2. Who will find immigration to Australia easier
A. One who likes adventures.
B. One who has a tight budget.
C One who values personal growth.
D One who has received a job offer there.
3. What does the four countries have in common
A. Great economy. B. Pleasant climate.
C. Abundant opportunities. D. Minimal cultural shock.

When most kids go to the beach, they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice
litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for
saving the planet.
第 4页/共 12页
Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the
Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the
ocean, he couldn’t brush it aside.
He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community
effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, EllaGalaski-Rossen,
started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create
educational videos on their You Tube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U.
S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states of how their actions are
connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.
Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community
Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a $5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his
choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the
Tennessee Wildlife Federation.
“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected
to the ocean — if you love it and what lives in it — you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it
becomes more fun with every new discovery.”
4. Which can replace the underlined words “brush it aside” in paragraph 2
A. keep awake. B. Lose heart.
C. turn a clear eye to it. D. put it on one side
5. What is the purpose of the Cleanup Kids founded
A. To call for ocean protection. B. To make instructive videos.
C. To spread marine knowledge. D. To recycle waste plastics.
6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels
A. Determined and modest. B. Initiative and talented.
C. Ambitious and humorous. D. Sympathetic and devoted.
7. What does Cash Daniels’ story imply
A. Passion fuels dreams. B. Great minds think alike.
C. Helping others is of great fun. D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
A new study involving nearly 50.000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the
第 5页/共 12页
quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity（长寿）, and whether the ideal
number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based
public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10.000-step-a-day saying grew out
of a decades—old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer（计步器）, with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an
experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative
groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second. 5,800; the third.
7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40-53% lower risk
of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically. for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death evened out at about 6,000-8,000 steps per
day. meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than
60, about 8,000-10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels of.
Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that
walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence
suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.
Paluch says.”More steps per day are better for your health.”
8. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
9. What does the underlined words “evened out” in paragraph 3 mean
A. turned higher. B. kept its stability.
C. became unstable. D. changed rapidly.
10. Which is true according to the experiment
A. All the persons should walk as much as possible.
B. Old people usually walk more than the young.
C. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
第 6页/共 12页
D. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
11. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.
D
In our body everything is important to our health no matter how small it is. There’s a small fatty thymus(胸
腺), an organ located in our upper chest, just behind the breastbone. This organ is often said to be a ‘waste’ in
adulthood. However, a review study suggests the thymus is not nearly as useless as experts once thought.
In childhood, the thymus is known to play a critical role in developing the immune(免疫的) system. When
the thymus is removed at a young age, patients show long-term reductions in T-cells, which are a type of white
blood cell that fights against germs(细菌) and disease. Kids without a thymus also tend to have a damaged
immune response to vaccines.
By the time a person hits adolescence, the thymus shrivels up and produces far fewer T-cells for the body. It
can seemingly be removed without immediate harm, and because it sits in front of the heart, it is often taken out
during heart surgery. For some patients with thymus cancer or autoimmune diseases, they need surgery to remove
the thymus. But the thymus isn’t always a problem.
Using patient data from a state healthcare system, researchers in Boston compared the outcomes of patients
who had undergone heart surgery: more than 6,000 people (the control group) who did not have their thymus
removed and 1,146 people who did have their thymus removed. Those who underwent a thymus removal were
almost twice as likely, as controls to die within 5 years, even after accounting for sex, age and race. Patients who
had their thymus removed were also twice as likely to develop cancer within 5 years of surgery.
Why these associations exist is unknown, but researchers suspect a lack of thymus is somehow messing with
the healthy function of the adult immune system. “Together, these findings support a role for the thymus
contributing to new T-cell production in adulthood and to adult health,” the authors conclude. Their results, they
say, strongly suggest that the thymus plays a functionally important role in our continued health.
12. Why is the thymus important in childhood
A. It results in blood. B. It repairs immune functions.
C. It damages immune system. D. It makes T-cells.
13. Which is TRUE according to the article
A. When the thymus is removed at a young age, it won’t affect T-cells.
第 7页/共 12页
B. The function of the thymus is producing blood.
C. Removing the thymus doesn’t result in any problems.
D. The thymus is a crucial organ in our body.
14. What’s the purpose of paragraph 4
A. to analyse data. B. To reach a conclusion.
C. To provide evidence. D. To illustrate the purpose.
15. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Studies on the thymus still need improving.
B. Preserving the thymus benefits adult health.
C. Heart patients should have the thymus maintained.
D. Removing the thymus stimulates the immune system.

As Samuel Johnson says, great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance. In life, there are always
ups and downs, different persons have different attitudes when faced with them.
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Allen’s dream to be a dancer on the stage. At an early age,
she was crazy about dancing. Whenever she had a chance, she would dance to the music. Her sweet and charming
dancing deeply attracted everyone around her.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon
after Allen attended school, her dancing teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her
第 11页/共 12页
some guidance on how to dance. Allen practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in dancing.
Unfortunately, one night a year later, Allen was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down.
She was rushed to the hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand
on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about
to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Allen needs you.
You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Jane.
That night, Allen recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear,
everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Allen, Don’t worry. We’ll be
standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Allen’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Allen
eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of
dancing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream
would upset the two of us.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

【答案】Dear friends,
In order to deepen our understanding of Chinese traditional culture further, our school held a lecture on
traditional Chinese calligraphy on the playground by our school calligraphy club.
The lecture fell on last Friday, which lasted from 8 a. m. to 11a. m. At the beginning, Mr Smith, a calligrapher,
gave a lecture about the development history of traditional Chinese calligraphy. Then, he explained how to write
Chinese words using a brush. The lecture gave us fascinating insights into traditional Chinese calligraphy.
Having benefited from this lecture a lot, I’m looking forward to more golden opportunities to expose myself to
more traditional culture.
Thanks for listening.

【答案】参考答案
Suddenly, one day a piece of good news came that a dancing show would be held in the school. On hearing it,
Mary raced quickly to Allen from school, telling her that her classmates all expected her to dance on behalf of her
class. Allen’s eyes burst into tears but responded doubtfully, “CanI... ” Mary and I immediately told her firmly
that she must be able to make it. In the following weeks with Mary’s assistance and encouragement, Allen kept on
practicing dancing harder day and night. Hard work paid offin the end. Beautiful dancing emerged in our house
again and smiles began to come back on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
An exciting moment arrived. When the host announced it was Allen’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. At
once, everyone greeted her with warm applause. As she began to dance the sweet music, the audience got absorbed
in her beautiful gestures, the whole hall falling into silence. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose
with thunderous cheers. When wheeled offstage, Allen received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers
and classmates. Allen was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates
stimulated Allen’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will
support wholeheartedly.
