一、阅读理解
Vivian Maier took more than 150, 000 photographs as she wandered the streets of New York and Chicago. She rarely looked at them; often, she didn’t even develop the negatives. Without any formal training, she created a body of work that demonstrated a wholly original way of looking at the world. Today, she is considered one of the best street photographers of the 20th century.
Maier’s photos provide audiences with a peek (偷看) behind the curtain into a remarkable mind. But she never intended to have an audience. A babysitter by trade, she rarely showed anyone her prints. In her final years, she stored five decades of work in storage lockers to avoid damage. Their contents went to auction (拍卖) in 2007.
Many of Maier’s photos ended up with amateur historian John Maloof, who purchased 30, 000 negatives for about $400. In the years that followed, he sought out other collectors who had purchased boxes from the same lockers. He didn’t learn the photographer’s identity until 2009, when he found her name signed on an envelope among the negatives. A quick Google search revealed that Maier had died just a few days earlier. Uncertain of how to proceed, Maloof started posting her images online. “I guess my question is, what do I do with this stuff ” he wrote in a post. “Is this type of work worthy of exhibitions or a book Any direction would be great.”
Maier quickly became a hit. Everyone wanted to know about the babysitter who had so skillfully shot 20th-century America. Her life and work have since been the subject of a bestselling book, a documentary and exhibitions around the world.
Now, the self-taught photographer is headlining her first major American show “Vivian Maier: Unseen Work”, which is currently on view at Fotografiska New York. The show is also described as the first museum exhibition in Maier’s hometown, the city where she developed her interest in photography.

In The Muppet Movie, 1979, a frog sits on a log playing the banjo and singing about rainbows. The simple, warm character is not quite a marionette (牵线木偶), nor a puppet (木偶). Instead, he’s a mix of the two, a “Muppet”. He and his colorful friends were created by the master puppeteer and filmmaker, Jim Henson.
Now streaming on Disney Plus is Jim Henson: Idea Man, a heartwarming documentary (纪录片) about the man who changed children’s TV and educational media in the West, leaving an impressive mark on entertainment and society.
As explained in the documentary, Henson never intended to be a master puppeteer. But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television. Henson had many ideas, not all of them successful. But the Muppet, created simply from an old coat, was there from the beginning. Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face.
Henson had been making his Muppets and working in entertainment for years before his big break with the educational children’s show, Sesame Street (《芝麻街》), which first aired in 1969 and is still being made today. Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment.
Voice actor Frank Oz, who worked with Henson on many of his projects, said of Henson in the documentary, “I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.”
5.Why did Jim Henson start using puppets
A.He was inspired by other puppeteers. B.He was always interested in puppetry.
C.He found it a way to enter TV industry. D.He wanted to create a new type of puppet.
6.What is unique about the Muppet compared to traditional puppets
A.It is simple in design. B.It is created by a team.
C.It is made from old silk. D.It is good at showing emotions.
7.What major impact did Sesame Street have on children’s TV
A.Colorful puppet characters were introduced. B.Education and moral values were brought.
C.More fun and interest were created in Kids’ TV. D.The types of children’s programs were changed.
8.Frank Oz suggests that Jim Henson’s goal is to ______.
A.compete with other puppeteers B.win awards for his puppetry skills
C.educate and inspire people creatively D.make children laugh with silly jokes
Known by the Nazis as the “White Mouse”, Nancy Wake is Australia’s most celebrated World War II resistance fighter.
Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees.
As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection.
Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.
Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011.
Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.”
9.What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname
A.She was a protective woman.
B.She was gentle and easily harmed.
C.She would like to tell the truth all the time.
D.She was not afraid of being involved in a war.
10.What did Nancy Wake do at the start of the war
A.She got a full copy of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list.
B.She helped people get away from war areas.
C.She organised and led resistance fighters.
D.She left France for Spain for good.
11.What can be learned about Nancy Wake as a female soldier
A.She fell victim to cruelty easily.
B.She died in a parachute accident.
C.She became a successful radio operator.
D.She got past German checkpoints successfully.
12.Which of the following is probably Nancy Wake’s belief
A.Women can fight on the front line.

ROOTS & SHOOTS
Most people suffer from what is known as “just-me-ism”. What is that Well say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can’t be bothered to pick it up. You know that all those things are wrong, but so what “What difference can it possibly make ” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me. How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road And anyway, no one will know. “Of course, it wouldn’t matter if there were just a few people in the world. But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves: “It doesn’t matter. It’s just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established. This institute was set up in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist who’s the world’s best-known expert on wild chimpanzees. In addition to her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection. The whole purpose of Roots & Shoots is to educate young people, from pre-schoolers to university students, so they can help to build a future that is secure and live together in peace with nature.
The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation, and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in.
It is by acting together, in this exciting way, that we can involve thousands — millions — of people, and this is what is going to change the world.— Jane Good all
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about: the value and importance of each individual — human, animal or plant. Dr. Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that: “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” You get to choose: Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future You cannot be absent.

Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷).
Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world.
Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021.
In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ”
19.What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research
A.The shortage of funding. B.Her countless failures.
C.The lack of inspiration. D.Her different nationality.

23.Discovering Ourselves
What does it mean to be Chinese
According to a survey done by China Daily in May, more than 40 percent of Chinese respondents chose “patriotic” and “family-minded” as the main Chinese attributes (特征). Meanwhile, about one-third of foreigners surveyed used “industrious (勤奋的) ” and “innovative” as the foremost Chinese qualities.
Jon Taylor, professor of political science at the University of St Thomas, said that there are certain qualities about Chinese people that are timeless: patriotism, family-mindedness, industriousness, and innovativeness.
He cited the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931—1945) and the forming of New China as crucial events that bring to mind qualities such as patriotism and self-sacrifice (自我牺牲).
Bernard Dewit, chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, noted that given the progress of the past 40 years, it’s understandable why most Chinese people are proud of their country.
While patriotism is the spirit that bonds the nation together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age, and Chinese friends think about their family first when they choose a job or quit one,” said Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher at an elementary school in Beijing.
Beyond the traditional ties to country and family, qualities of industriousness and innovativeness also come to light.
Sheryl Wang, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, cited package delivery (快递) on weekends as an example of how industrious Chinese people are.
Ammar Hawbani, from Yemen, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said he has observed Chinese students in the laboratory exhibiting innovative and productive traits (特质).
“The young generation receives better education, especially in science and mathematics,” Hawbani said. “Because of international competition, the government will push the young generation to be more and more innovative.”
The past decades saw China’s rapid rise to become a leading player on the international stage. During this process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, has gotten a clearer understanding of Chinese attributes.
1. respondent n. (尤指) 调查对象;被告;回答问题的人
2. crucial adj. 至关重要的;关键性的
3. bond n. 纽带;关系vt. & vi. 增强信任关系;使牢固结合
4. associate adj. 副的
5. decade n. 十年;十年期
What do you think are the timeless qualities as Chinese people
THE STONE IN THE ROAD
Once upon a time there was a king who often thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea.
Early one morning, the king disguised himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here ” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head.
One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody making an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from harm ”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark. I'll move it out of the way.”
The girl pushed the stone with all her might. After a great deal of effort, she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree: “Oh sir,” the girl said, “does this gold belong to you If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine. I put it in the road and moved the stone over it. Now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.”

MOTHER OF TEN THOUSAND BABIES
“Life is precious. To a person nothing is more precious than their life, and if they entrust me with that life, how could I refuse that trust, saying I’m cold, hungry, or tired ” These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this amazing woman, and what carried her through a life of hard choices.
As a five-year-old girl, Lin Qiaozhi was deeply affected by her mother’s death. At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls, she chose to study medicine. “Why should girls learn so much Finding a good husband should be their final goal!” her brother complained, thinking of the high tuition fees. She responded, “I’d rather stay single to study all my life!”
Eight years later, Lin graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wehai Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. She immediately became the first woman ever to be hired as a resident physician in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital. Within six months, she was named a chief resident physician, a position that usually took four years to achieve. After working for a few years, she was sent to study in Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She greatly impressed her American colleagues, who invited her to stay. Dr Lin, however, rejected the offer. She wanted to serve the women and children at home.
In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, but just a few months later, the department was closed because of the war. Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic. She charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced costs for poor patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care.
The new People’s Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. In 1954, she was elected to the first National People’s Congress and, over the next several decades, she held many important positions. Her heart, however, was elsewhere. She was more interested in tending patients, publishing medical research on care for women and children, and training the next generation of doctors. “The OB-GYN department cares for two lives,” She told new staff in her department. “As doctors, we should be responsible for the patients and treat them as our sisters.”
Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the “mother of ten thousand babies”, having delivered over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr Lin did not retire until the day she died, 22 April 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her savings to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others: “I’m ready to go,” she said. “Don’t try to rescue me any more. Don’t waste the medicine any more.”
29.Scan the text and match the general idea of each paragraph.
A.Lin’s motto of life. B.People’s praise of Lin. C. Lin’s career in new People’s Republic of China. D.Lin’s career after the war. E. Lin’s career after graduation. F. Lin’s choice of studying medicine.

一、阅读理解
Vivian Maier took more than 150, 000 photographs as she wandered the streets of New York and Chicago. She rarely looked at them; often, she didn’t even develop the negatives. Without any formal training, she created a body of work that demonstrated a wholly original way of looking at the world. Today, she is considered one of the best street photographers of the 20th century.
Maier’s photos provide audiences with a peek (偷看) behind the curtain into a remarkable mind. But she never intended to have an audience. A babysitter by trade, she rarely showed anyone her prints. In her final years, she stored five decades of work in storage lockers to avoid damage. Their contents went to auction (拍卖) in 2007.
Many of Maier’s photos ended up with amateur historian John Maloof, who purchased 30, 000 negatives for about $400. In the years that followed, he sought out other collectors who had purchased boxes from the same lockers. He didn’t learn the photographer’s identity until 2009, when he found her name signed on an envelope among the negatives. A quick Google search revealed that Maier had died just a few days earlier. Uncertain of how to proceed, Maloof started posting her images online. “I guess my question is, what do I do with this stuff ” he wrote in a post. “Is this type of work worthy of exhibitions or a book Any direction would be great.”
Maier quickly became a hit. Everyone wanted to know about the babysitter who had so skillfully shot 20th-century America. Her life and work have since been the subject of a bestselling book, a documentary and exhibitions around the world.
Now, the self-taught photographer is headlining her first major American show “Vivian Maier: Unseen Work”, which is currently on view at Fotografiska New York. The show is also described as the first museum exhibition in Maier’s hometown, the city where she developed her interest in photography.
1.Why did Maier’s photographs end up in storage lockers
A.To sell them later for a high price. B.To display them at a proper time.
C.To keep them in good condition. D.To protect them against theft.
2.How did John Maloof initially feel about the photographs he had acquired
A.He had no interest in them. B.He was certain they were valuable.
C.He was disappointed with the purchase. D.He was unsure of their worth and sought advice.
3.What can we get from Maier’s story
A.Interest is the best teacher. B.Every cloud has a silver lining.
C.Love whatever job one takes up. D.Where there is a will, there is a way.
4.What’s the best title for the text
A.The Unseen Work of a Babysitter B.A Century of Street Photography
C.The Auction of Forgotten Photographs D.A Best Self-Taught Street Photographer

(这次展览也被称为是迈尔家乡的第一次博物馆展览,在这座城市里她培养了对摄影的兴趣。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Vivian Maier作为一个自学成才的摄影师的故事,她拍摄了很多照片,去世后作品被发现并受到欢迎,现在有她的作品展览,D项“A Best Self-Taught Street Photographer(一位自学成才的最佳街头摄影师)”表达的含义适合用作本文标题。故选D项。
In The Muppet Movie, 1979, a frog sits on a log playing the banjo and singing about rainbows. The simple, warm character is not quite a marionette (牵线木偶), nor a puppet (木偶). Instead, he’s a mix of the two, a “Muppet”. He and his colorful friends were created by the master puppeteer and filmmaker, Jim Henson.
Now streaming on Disney Plus is Jim Henson: Idea Man, a heartwarming documentary (纪录片) about the man who changed children’s TV and educational media in the West, leaving an impressive mark on entertainment and society.
As explained in the documentary, Henson never intended to be a master puppeteer. But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television. Henson had many ideas, not all of them successful. But the Muppet, created simply from an old coat, was there from the beginning. Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face.
Henson had been making his Muppets and working in entertainment for years before his big break with the educational children’s show, Sesame Street (《芝麻街》), which first aired in 1969 and is still being made today. Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment.
Voice actor Frank Oz, who worked with Henson on many of his projects, said of Henson in the documentary, “I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.”
5.Why did Jim Henson start using puppets
A.He was inspired by other puppeteers. B.He was always interested in puppetry.
C.He found it a way to enter TV industry. D.He wanted to create a new type of puppet.
6.What is unique about the Muppet compared to traditional puppets
A.It is simple in design. B.It is created by a team.
C.It is made from old silk. D.It is good at showing emotions.
7.What major impact did Sesame Street have on children’s TV
A.Colorful puppet characters were introduced. B.Education and moral values were brought.
C.More fun and interest were created in Kids’ TV. D.The types of children’s programs were changed.
8.Frank Oz suggests that Jim Henson’s goal is to ______.
A.compete with other puppeteers B.win awards for his puppetry skills
C.educate and inspire people creatively D.make children laugh with silly jokes
【答案】5.C 6.D 7.B 8.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是关于Jim Henson的纪录片《吉姆·亨森:创意巨匠》的内容。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段“But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television.(但在大学上了木偶课后,他发现使用木偶可能是进入他梦想的行业——电视——的一种独特方式。)”可知,Jim Henson开始使用木偶是因为他发现这是进入电视行业的一种方式。故选C。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段“Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face.(与大多数木偶的简单性不同,布偶的薄布料让Henson能够在角色的脸上创造出各种表情。)”可知,与传统木偶相比,布偶的独特之处是它擅长表现情感。故选D。
7.细节理解题。根据第四段“Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment.(汉森认为,如果孩子们每周要花50个小时看电视,那么他们看的应该是有教育意义的。这有助于改变西方儿童节目的面貌,将教育和道德价值观置于家庭娱乐的前沿。)”可知,《芝麻街》对儿童电视的影响是带来了教育和道德价值观。故选B。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.(我认为Jim真正想做的是唱歌、讲故事、教育孩子、促进和平、拯救地球、颂扬人类,还有就是要有点傻气。)”可知,Frank Oz认为Jim Henson的目标是以创造性的方式教育和启发人们。故选C。
Known by the Nazis as the “White Mouse”, Nancy Wake is Australia’s most celebrated World War II resistance fighter.
Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees.
As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection.
Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.
Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011.
Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.”

ROOTS & SHOOTS
Most people suffer from what is known as “just-me-ism”. What is that Well say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can’t be bothered to pick it up. You know that all those things are wrong, but so what “What difference can it possibly make ” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me. How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road And anyway, no one will know. “Of course, it wouldn’t matter if there were just a few people in the world. But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves: “It doesn’t matter. It’s just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established. This institute was set up in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist who’s the world’s best-known expert on wild chimpanzees. In addition to her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection. The whole purpose of Roots & Shoots is to educate young people, from pre-schoolers to university students, so they can help to build a future that is secure and live together in peace with nature.
The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation, and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in.
It is by acting together, in this exciting way, that we can involve thousands — millions — of people, and this is what is going to change the world.— Jane Good all
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about: the value and importance of each individual — human, animal or plant. Dr. Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that: “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” You get to choose: Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future You cannot be absent.

Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷).
Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world.
Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021.

23.Discovering Ourselves
What does it mean to be Chinese
According to a survey done by China Daily in May, more than 40 percent of Chinese respondents chose “patriotic” and “family-minded” as the main Chinese attributes (特征). Meanwhile, about one-third of foreigners surveyed used “industrious (勤奋的) ” and “innovative” as the foremost Chinese qualities.
Jon Taylor, professor of political science at the University of St Thomas, said that there are certain qualities about Chinese people that are timeless: patriotism, family-mindedness, industriousness, and innovativeness.
He cited the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931—1945) and the forming of New China as crucial events that bring to mind qualities such as patriotism and self-sacrifice (自我牺牲).
Bernard Dewit, chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, noted that given the progress of the past 40 years, it’s understandable why most Chinese people are proud of their country.
While patriotism is the spirit that bonds the nation together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture. “My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age, and Chinese friends think about their family first when they choose a job or quit one,” said Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher at an elementary school in Beijing.
Beyond the traditional ties to country and family, qualities of industriousness and innovativeness also come to light.
Sheryl Wang, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, cited package delivery (快递) on weekends as an example of how industrious Chinese people are.
Ammar Hawbani, from Yemen, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said he has observed Chinese students in the laboratory exhibiting innovative and productive traits (特质).
“The young generation receives better education, especially in science and mathematics,” Hawbani said. “Because of international competition, the government will push the young generation to be more and more innovative.”
The past decades saw China’s rapid rise to become a leading player on the international stage. During this process, the international community, including Chinese people themselves, has gotten a clearer understanding of Chinese attributes.
1. respondent n. (尤指) 调查对象;被告;回答问题的人
2. crucial adj. 至关重要的;关键性的
3. bond n. 纽带;关系vt. & vi. 增强信任关系;使牢固结合
4. associate adj. 副的
5. decade n. 十年;十年期
What do you think are the timeless qualities as Chinese people
【答案】Patriotism, family mindedness, industriousness and innovativeness are the timeless qualities as Chinese people.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过引用调查和不同人的观点,介绍了中国人永恒的品质,包括爱国、重家庭、勤奋和创新等。
【小题1】考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Jon Taylor, professor of political science at the University of St Thomas, said that there are certain qualities about Chinese people that are timeless: patriotism, family mindedness, industriousness, and innovativeness. (圣托马斯大学政治学教授乔恩·泰勒表示,中国人有一些永恒的品质:爱国、重家庭、勤奋和创新)”和下文的论述可知,中国人永恒的品质是爱国、重家庭、勤奋和创新。故答案为:Patriotism, family mindedness, industriousness and innovativeness are the timeless qualities as Chinese people.
THE STONE IN THE ROAD
Once upon a time there was a king who often thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea.
Early one morning, the king disguised himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here ” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head.
One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody making an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from harm ”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark. I'll move it out of the way.”
The girl pushed the stone with all her might. After a great deal of effort, she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree: “Oh sir,” the girl said, “does this gold belong to you If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine. I put it in the road and moved the stone over it. Now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.”

MOTHER OF TEN THOUSAND BABIES
“Life is precious. To a person nothing is more precious than their life, and if they entrust me with that life, how could I refuse that trust, saying I’m cold, hungry, or tired ” These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this amazing woman, and what carried her through a life of hard choices.
As a five-year-old girl, Lin Qiaozhi was deeply affected by her mother’s death. At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls, she chose to study medicine. “Why should girls learn so much Finding a good husband should be their final goal!” her brother complained, thinking of the high tuition fees. She responded, “I’d rather stay single to study all my life!”
Eight years later, Lin graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wehai Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. She immediately became the first woman ever to be hired as a resident physician in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital. Within six months, she was named a chief resident physician, a position that usually took four years to achieve. After working for a few years, she was sent to study in Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She greatly impressed her American colleagues, who invited her to stay. Dr Lin, however, rejected the offer. She wanted to serve the women and children at home.
In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, but just a few months later, the department was closed because of the war. Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic. She charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced costs for poor patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care.
The new People’s Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. In 1954, she was elected to the first National People’s Congress and, over the next several decades, she held many important positions. Her heart, however, was elsewhere. She was more interested in tending patients, publishing medical research on care for women and children, and training the next generation of doctors. “The OB-GYN department cares for two lives,” She told new staff in her department. “As doctors, we should be responsible for the patients and treat them as our sisters.”
Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the “mother of ten thousand babies”, having delivered over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr Lin did not retire until the day she died, 22 April 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her savings to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others: “I’m ready to go,” she said. “Don’t try to rescue me any more. Don’t waste the medicine any more.”
