Whileflying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane, even though it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our food couldn’t last us long, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine （尿）everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16 survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.56. Why did they stay outside the plane?A. Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside.B. Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water.C. Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.D. Because other passengers were against staying inside.57. Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?A. Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.B. Because his sister might die without timely medical help.C. Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning.B. The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio.C. The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment.D. More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued.59. The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to ________.A. had told lies about death in spite of realityB. had avoided death in spite of huge difficultiesC. had treated death with positive attitudeD. had almost died in spite of strange expectation(B)Rubbermaid Commercial Stainless(不锈的) Steel Oven Monitoring Thermometer(温度计) FGTHO550by Rubbermaid Commercial Products4.3 out of 5 stars 2,274 customer reviewsPrice: $7.01Color: MetallicMade of wearable stainless steel, this oven thermometer isdesigned to endure the test of the toughest professional and homekitchens.

English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all federal government institutions in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from, federal (联邦的)government institutions in either English or French. Federal government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in designated bilingual regions.Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s, it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years' War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 enshrined the use of both languages in Parliament and in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reaffirmed the constitutional origins of its co-official languages and set out the protections afforded by its dual-language status.Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized that Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.The Canadian federal government is committed to advancing the equality of status and use of the English and French languages within Canadian society and provides support to the development of English and French linguistic minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions of Canada where English is the clear majority language, so the government does not always offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase "where numbers warrant" to indicate whether a local population's language usage requires bilingual services from the federal government.While many Canadians are bilingual, they are not only speaking English or French. Statistic Canada finds that more than 200 languages that were not English or French, were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French.63. The acceptance of two official languages in Canada is due to ________.A. the language –using tradition caused by Canada’s colonial history.B. the convenience for business dealings by using two languages in the country.C. the welcome attitude toward immigrates from all over the world.D. the mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education.64. In reality whether bilingual service provided by the federal government is necessary in different districts is decided by ________.A. the legal order from the federal governmentB. the popularity of the language in the worldC. the number of schools teaching the languageD. the number of local people using the language65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger number of users in Canada.B. The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.C. Both French and English should be used on products in Canada according to federal law.D. Canadian people speak either French or English in social communication.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The advantage of using multiple languages in CanadaB. The history and current situation of two language used in CanadaC. The disadvantaged status of the French language used in Canada.D. Canadians’ advancement in balancing two languages in business world.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Unit the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.If you slap(掌击) another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level of self-awareness. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.If you slap(击掌) another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response,____67____Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.But huge disagreement exists. For example, scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters（龙虾）feel pain. Some researchers argue lobsters are two dissimilar to vertebrates（脊椎动物）to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous situations.____68_____In result, today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries. Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland and New Zealand. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods.___ 69___ To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods. Stabbing a lobster in the head isn't a good option, as it neither kills the lobster nor makes it unconscious.Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes( 点击) a lobster.___ 70___ The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.So, when you picked up a few things in a supermarket, a guy ran his cart over your toe with no apology. By the time when a fellow motorist had cut you off in traffic, with a rude handgesture or two, wasn't it a relief to get to the office?The answer is a definite yes. It is found that most American people today think public rudeness is on the rise, and most see that as a "major problem." Moreover, it's getting worse. Last year, people reported encountering an average of 6.2 instances per week of evil behavior. This year, the number had shot up to 10.6. The exception, it seems, is the Workshops. More than 90% of us see companies offices as . what is immune（免疫）to social bad manners. Workplaces are gettig more civil in many people's eyes. The reported cases of office incivility this year declined to 0.29%-markedly lower than cases of running into rudeness online (39%), or while driving (also39%).Of course, less-than-polite driving or letting loose with an online conduct code is, after all,unlikely to cost anyone his next raise or promotion. However, being on one's best behavior in any professional field is generally a common-sense career awareness for anyone seeking job development.But there’s more to it. Trends in how companies operate seem to have the welcome effect of encouraging coworkers to play nice. CEOS, and managers at all levels，are now keen on cooperation. They are trying to build a ‘Best Places to Work’culture，to attract the best available talents. This emphasis on co-working atmosphere really requires civil interactions between people.Nonetheless，a significant number of employees believe there＇s more to be done. Asked what changes they＇d like to see，62％ hope that＂civility training will be continued＂,looking for bigger progress in the workplace manners.第Ⅱ卷（共40分）V.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. admissionB. broadC. comfortablyD. decodedE. forerunnerF. hardlyG. replaced H. risky I. spread J. subjects K. switchesMore Than a PopularizerCertain creative works possess such an endless ability to bounce that they become fixed in the culture. One such book is Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. Published more than two decades ago, it dug into a (n) 11 range of topics, from crime rates in New York to shoe sales, all from the perspectives of epidemiology (流行病学) . “Ideas and products and messages and behaviors 12 just like viruses do,” he wrot e.Gladwell presented his readers with a series of stories, mysteries and puzzles, and then 13 them, revealing his workings in a cheerful and confident narrative (描述性的) voice. Listen to me, he seemed to whisper to his readers, and I will show you the hidden workings of society, and how you, as an individual, can influence or “tip” the trends that shape it.Almost 25 years and six books later, he wrote a follow-up, Revenge of the Tipping Poin t, which is like its 14 in its self-confidence, attractiveness and clarity. However, the new book bears the mark of an author living in a country very different to the United States 25 years ago. The case studies about shoes in The Tipping Point are 15 by stories that touch on the anxieties of modern America.Many of his 16 are familiar and yet he empowers them with a new energy. In chapter five, he further explorers the question of diversity in offers from the Ivy League, 17 an underreported issue, and yet he somehow thinks from a totally different angle. Instead of examining the means by which first-class institutions keep minorities out, he reveals the ways in which Harvard, through its 18 policy for athletes, only invites rich and white applicants in.Gladwell combines viewpoints about epidemiology with the detail of a court copy or direct quotation, and 19 between different worlds, drawing comparisons and contrasts—that's where part of his charm lies. It is an exciting technique, but it comes with 20 elements—his topics, so highly charged at an individual level, sometimes lack sympathy.At the ancient Olympics in Greece, athletes weren't the only stars of the show. The game also attracted poets, who recited their works for eager audiences. Competitors employed bigger names to write poems of their ______ , which choruses performed at celebrations. Physical strength and______ skills were closely linked.Thousands of years later, this image ______ Pierre de Coubertin, a French nobleman known as the founder of the modern Olympics. The nobleman believed the world should value the harmony of arts and athletics. The idea can be traced back to Plato’ s Republic, in which Socrates highlights the virtue of education that combines “gymnastics for the body and music for the ______ . ”Coubertin pictured a competition that would ______ muscle and mind. But his fellow organizers never fully shared his vision. The 1896 Games included only ______ competitions, such as swimming and fencing. Several new events, for instance, water polo in 1900 and boxing in1904, made their first appearance; ______ , muscle and mind remained firmly unrelated.Coubertin ______ —on August 5, 1904, he published an article, writing “… the arts and literature joined with sport to ensure the greatness of the Olympic Games. The same must be true in the future. . . ” when officials announced that Rome would host the 1908 Olympics.Coubertin argued that the partnership of sport and art had outlasted the destruction of Olympia, and the time had come to ______ this ideal completely. Since the first three modern Games had gotten the ball rolling, it was “possible and ______ to bring muscles and thought together again. ”Two years later, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) held a conference to seriously discuss “to what extent and in what form the arts and literature can participate. ” The event program listed several arts categories that were ______ .Officials ultimately agreed to add five arts competitions to the Olympics in 1908: literature, painting, sculpture, music and architecture. All works entered into these categories, ______ named the Pentathlon of the Muses (缪斯五项) . They would need to be inspired by sports, bringing back the ancient harmony that Coubertin had ______ . In 1949, 12 years after Coubertin's death, nevertheless, the IOC decided to ______ the art competitions, citing that most of the participants relied on their artistic work for a living and it was illogical to allow professionals to win Olympic medals.Today there are occasional ______ to bring the artistic competitions back. We do hope one day we can witness a wholly new Olympics.21.A．knowledge B．victories C．interests D．liberty22.A．sporting B．academic C．literary D．communicative 23.A．disturbed B．charmed C．tricked D．described24.A．organizers B．competitors C．public D．soul25.A．reunite B．compare C．distinguish D．refresh26.A．athletic B．popular C．amateur D．fierce27.A．otherwise B．likewise C．however D．moreover28.A．stressed out B．felt prejudiced C．moved forward D．settled down 29.A．challenge B．restore C．evaluate D．abandon30.A．troublesome B．imaginative C．annoying D．desirable31.C．in use D．in progress A．under control B．underconsideration32.A．typically B．confusingly C．frequently D．collectively 33.A．expected B．suspended C．created D．legalized34.A．justify B．discontinue C．stage D．enrich35.A．rejections B．guidelines C．calls D．decisionsAfter a long journey, I finally got to the hospital. Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights, I fidgeted, desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation. I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room, but what happened days ago kept running through my head — the intense pain, the overpowering fear, and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room. I was told I had broken a backbone. I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response: “Do I have to wear a support when I play football? ”I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible__Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasn't surprised, or at least I shouldn't have been, but that didn't make the order any easier. I refused to accept the idea, and for months I continued to exercise.I worked out from five to six every morning. Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone.I was determined to play again.The fact is that, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After nights of coming home from exercising, barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place.And by the way, I'm a five-star football coach now.36. The word “fidgeted” in paragraph 1 most probably means “________”.A．felt terribly bored B．lay quietly and calmlyC．was extremely grateful D．made slight, anxious movements37. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicates the writer's ________.A．slow but steady recovery B．eagerness to get the doctor's answerC．frequent visits to the hospital D．emotional change after the accident38. What did the writer give up in the end?A．Trusting the doctor. B．Exercising in the gym.C．Focusing on the impossible. D．Putting everything in place.39. What's the message mainly conveyed in the passage?A．Ignoring failures is the key to a fulfilling life.B．There are two ways for everyone to live his life.C．Some people in the world live with physical pain.D．We should accept life as it is and live to the fullest.Every day, people worldwide volunteer for thousands of different companies and organizations. They see volunteering as a way of demonstrating what they stand for and consider valuable. What are some of the major trends in volunteering? To answer the question, we'll need to look at some statistics. #1 Around 30% of Americans volunteer.About one-third of adult Americans formally volunteer at least once a year. 36% of the time spent in volunteering is dedicated to fundraising. Moreover, 34% of volunteering activity goes to collecting or delivering food. #2 In USA, 15% of people support hunger and homelessness causes.Hunger and homelessness causes are the most supported in USA. The next leading cause for volunteering is health and wellness, with 13% of Americans donating to those causes. Other top causes are charities for animals and wildlife and charities for the country's younger generation, with 10% and9% of Americans supporting them, respectively. #3 People around the world donate repeatedly.In Europe, 44% people donate repeatedly. Australia and New Zealand have a higher percentage of people who do the same—51%, outnumbered by USA with a percentage of 57%, and in Africa, the percentage is even higher. #4 Volunteering plays a role in employment.One surprising benefit of volunteering is that it can assist in job-hunting. Volunteers who've been unemployed are 27% more likely to find work. That's especially true for unemployed volunteers without secondary school experience, who are 51% more likely than non-volunteers to find a job. The trend that employers prefer volunteers to non-volunteers applies no matter how old and where the volunteers are. Statistics indicate that 91% of employers value soft skills as much as hard skills, and volunteering is an excellent way to develop soft skills in a real-world environment. #5 Women are more likely than men to volunteer.Globally, about 57% of volunteer work is done by women. Women are more likely to engage in activities like childcare for neighbors, or helping with a local environmental cleanup.In USA, 34% of women volunteer, compared to 26% of men.40. People around the world volunteer because they ________.A．are interested in the major trends in volunteeringB．are able to deal with troubles related to volunteeringC．prefer to work in various kinds of companies or organizationsD．regard volunteering as a way to show their identity and values41. We can learn from #4 that ________.A．volunteering improves people's chance of employmentB．volunteers' age will affect their likelihood of getting hiredC．employers think volunteering develops soft skills as much as hard skillsD．volunteers without educational background are unlikely to be employed42. Which chart correctly illustrates the information in the passage?A．B．C．D．An unusually reflective communications satellite that outshines almost every star in the sky was joined by another five in the first week of September, 2024. Astronomers warn that the appearance of more and more bright objects in the night sky will severely set back their work and could even limit our ability to spot asteroids—small planets going around the sun—heading for Earth.Texas-based AST SpaceMobile, intending to set up a group of 100 satellites to provide mobile phone connections around the globe, launched a test satellite called BlueWalker 3 in 2022, drawing criticism from astronomers who found that it was brighter than all but seven stars in the night sky. The company launched the first five commercial versions of BlueWalker 3, called Bluebirds, from Florida, on 12 September.Grant Tremblay, vice president of the American Astronomical Society, says the increasing number of satellites in low Earth orbit “is an existential problem for astronomy”. While AST SpaceMobile is a concern to astronomers because of its very reflective design, it is by no means the only one, he says. Internet firm Starlink is another whose satellites have raised worries.“For astronomy, things are absolutely getting worse,” says Tremblay. “I fear that we' re at risk of losing the sky.” Projects such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (天文台) , under construction in Chile and due to start scanning the sky in 2025, will have images ruined by bright traces when satellites cross their field of view, says Tremblay.“When a frame is harmed by, for example, a Starlink crossing, the frame is useless. You throw it out, ” he says. “The observatory will still work. It'll still do amazing science. But efficiency could drop sharply if we start heading into a system in which hundreds or thousands of reflecting satellites are in orbit. ” Tremblay believes this is not only a loss to science, also to wider society. “We return images of this incredibly magical universe whose scale is truly unimaginable, and there's somethingunify ing and inspirational. If we lose that, I think that's a societal disaster. ” To solve the problem, he says astronomers may have to put more instruments in space beyond our crowded orbit, but the cost and complexity of doing that is generally prohibitive.Losing astronomical capabilities could even put humanity in danger. Ian Carnelli at the European Space Agency says we have spent decades improving our ability to spot asteroids heading for Earth and potentially redirect them. “It could be harder to find t hem in the future because of reflective satellite constellations (卫星群) ,” he says.43. According to Grant Tremblay, why are we at the risk of losing the sky?A．Because the observatory is unable to function properly in most cases.B．Because the viewing area of the satellites is darkened by observatories.C．Because the construction work is destroying the scanning work of the sky.D．Because the satellites will keep us from obtaining a clear picture of the sky.44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Effectiveness in mobile communications will decrease dramatically.B．A vast number of satellites makes the magical universe more inspiring.C．Fewer satellites of commercial versions will be launched in the future.D．Earth could face a higher risk of asteroid impacts for detection failures.45. What concern does Tremblay express about the crowded orbit?A．An increase in societal disasters. B．That scientific study is less efficient.C．Less space for instruments in outer space. D．That observatories are harmed by frames.46. What's the passage mainly about?A．The launch of bright satellites raises fears.B．There are still downsides to scientific work.C．More sky-friendly satellites should be designed.D．The societal impact caused by satellites is extensive.Protecting WetlandsWetlands are among the most effective ecosystems on Earth, providing a habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species and therefore play a crucial role in maintaining environmental balance and supporting biodiversity. For instance, they can act as natural water purifiers and absorbing harmful substances from runoff (地表径流) before they reach larger bodies of water. 47 . Wetlands can be thought of as “biological supermarkets”. They provide great volumes of food that attract many animal species. These animals use wetlands for part of or all of their life-cycle. Deadplant leaves break down in the water to form small particles of organic material. This enriched material feeds shellfish and many small insects in the water.48 . They are consistent resources for activities like bird watching, fishing, and photography. These outdoor activities are gaining popularity nowadays and people tend to pay to refresh themselves at the weekends.However, wetlands around the world are under threat because of human activities such as agriculture and urban development. 49 . As a result, many species that depend on these habitats are at risk of extinction, and the natural services that wetlands provide are being decreased.Conservation efforts are essential to preserving these vital ecosystems. This includes protecting existing wetlands, bringing those that have been degraded back to the former state, and carrying out policies that limit harmful activities in these areas. 50 . Through international cooperation and local initiatives, it is possible to ensure that wetlands continue to support the environment for generations to come.passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Is Regenerating Nature Only Charitable?In the world of environmental conservation, many people think nature regeneration projects are mainly about charity, not profit. This idea has wrapped around our common awareness, casting such efforts as noble but financially unreliable pursuits. However, is this assumption accurate? With a mix of passion, strategy and innovation, Khory Hancock, an environmental scientist and businessman, is demonstrating that nature regeneration can indeed be profitable.According to Hancock, one way to make money is through carbon credits. These credits are like tickets that organizations can buy or sell. When they invest in restoring ecosystems, they earn credits that can be traded for money. This gives conservation a real purpose to help nature and at the same time brings financial rewards. Beyond direct financial returns, it also helps enhance businesses’ public image. In a world where information travels rapidly and opinions are formed swiftly, having a good public image is without doubt a strategic necessity. The benefits are far-reaching, from building trust and credibility to attracting opportunities and encouraging better relationships, all helping businesses make profits in the long run.Hancock adds that the fields of profitability do not end there. By regenerating farming lands, farmers can use the power of carbon stored as soil organic matter, which has a great effect on almost all soil properties—making the soil more productive. Hancock has also proved that the regenerating practices reduce the gradual destruction of soil and improves soil structure, making the land moreadaptable to weather extremes, such as floods and droughts, and consequently increases productivity.Such projects reveal the hidden values that lie within environmental restoration. If more investors increase the scale of these projects, bring financial benefits to both businesses and farming, and in the end, the planet, we can benefit from a sustainable world.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________52. 不如我们带上新买的望远镜去赏月吧！ (enjoy) (汉译英)________________________________________________________________________________ ______53. 这种布料用棉线编织而成，很有民族特色。
