There are people for whom the motivation lies in their family or companions’
duties.For some people , the purpose lies in a soul’s spiritual awakening.Brent
Clayton,a firefighter by profession,is one such individual who found his purpose
early in life and kept working to fulfill it.
Born on March 3,1984,Clayton hugely felt the need to serve others.He followed
his mission in life and acquired his diploma in Public Safety.He gradually realized the
importance of securing people’s lives , which strengthened his faith in his
mission.Clayton further pursued his bachelor’s degree from The University of
Melbourne and master’s degree from Federation University.Then,Clayton worked in
the military for a period before moving into a role with the prison service as a prison
guard,the youngest person to ever be employed by the service at the time.
After spending a decade in the fire service including training and recruitment (招
募),he gained enough experience to become Australia’s most prominent fire service
recruitment expert.Clayton devoted many years of his life to the firefighter
recruitment process and fire service industry.He wanted people to realize the true
value of this profession by establishing its significance.To communicate his
perspective,Clayton established Fire Recruitment Australia in 2009.He aimed to
train the next generation and prepare them for the future.Clayton used his experience
and years-long training to prepare candidates who were as enthusiastic about the
well-being of the world as him.
Keeping the point in mind,Clayton wrote the book Fire Service Recruitment—the
Process to Success.His idea was to join his learning into an accessible medium so
others didn’t have to waste years wondering what to do when applying to become a
firefighter.After the success of the book , Clayton introduced candidates to acomprehensive test preparation and learning suite to facilitate ( 促 进 ) success
throughout each stage of the selection process.This platform helped him as well as his
candidates to work together for the betterment of themselves and ultimately society at
large.

(2024·山东青岛统考三模)
By 2050,68% of the global population will live in cities.That’s 2.5 billion more
people than today.In Europe,three out of four of us already live in urban areas,and
the consequences of that are becoming clear.Researchers estimate that nine million
people die every year as a direct result of air pollution.As our cities grow and more
people move into already crowded spaces,what do we need to do to transform our
urban areas into healthy places to live? An increasing body of research tells us that we
should be letting nature back in.
Green spaces in cities mitigate the effects of pollution and can reduce a
phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect,which refers to heat trapped in
built-up areas.The effect appears in towns and cities where the heat generated by
people , transport and industry is trapped in the narrow roads and concrete
structures,unable to escape to the atmosphere.This can bring the temperature in
urban areas up 3-4 ℃ higher than the surrounding countryside,and with that
comes a severe cycle.Increased temperatures in summer lead to an increased demand
for cooling.This expands our energy consumption,which in turn build up fossil fuel
consumption,increasing pollutants in the air and harmful smog on our streets.Planning cities to include green spaces wherever possible is the first step in
making our urban areas healthier.For example ,adding a layer of vegetation to
rooftops and creating green roofs has proven to reduce the urban heat island
effect.Trees in our streets also play their part,and a variety of tree species can have a
profound effect.Simply having access to green spaces in cities can do wonders for our
stress levels and concentration at work.“People need to interact with nature whenever
the opportunity arises.Something as simple as a five-to-ten-minute break during
the workday can improve well-being and boost productivity,” Cecil,an expert
studying nature in cities says.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了随着城市人口的急剧增加,城市的
空气污染问题日益严重,因此有必要在城市中让自然回归,以改善城市的健康
水平。同时,让自然回归可以提升居住者的幸福感和工作效率。

will live in cities.That’s 2.5 billion more people than today...as a direct result of air
pollution.”可知,作者先呈现了城市人口大幅增长,直接死于空气污染的人数量
巨大的事实,然后引入了文章的话题。由此可知,作者通过展现事实的方式引
入话题。]
6.What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Overcome. B.Change.
C.Ease. D.Shift.
答案 C [词义猜测题。根据第一段中“...to transform our urban areas into
healthy places to live?...we should be letting nature back in.”和第二段第一句
“ Green spaces in cities mitigate the effects of pollution and can reduce a
phenomenon...in built-up areas.”可知,在城市中让自然回归有助于改善城市的
健康,因此城市中的绿地应该可以缓解污染和城市热岛效应。由此可知,
mitigate意为“缓解,减轻”,与ease意思一致。]
7.What might be a consequence of the urban heat island effect?A.Lower temperature. B.Energy regeneration.
C.Fuel shortage. D.Air pollution.
答 案 D [ 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 二 段 中 “ This expands our energy

people move into already crowded spaces...we should be letting nature back in.”可
知,文章介绍了随着城市人口的急剧增加,城市的空气污染问题日益严重,因
此有必要在城市中让自然回归,以改善城市的健康水平。同时,让自然回归可
以提升居住者的幸福感和工作效率。因此,文章主要介绍的是在城市中引入自
然的好处,B项“我们为什么需要城市绿地”符合文章大意,适合作为标题。]

Mercy Baggs is reflecting on her future.“Should I live to 95,I would do another
parachute jump,”she says.She first jumped when she was 77 in honor of her
achievements as mayor of the Wiltshire town of Calne.Then she jumped again last
March,a day before her 90th birthday,to raise funds for Wiltshire air ambulance.
“This is the thrill of it,”she says.“You go up,and then that door opens and the
wind starts to come through.You experience free -fall for a long time.”She has
always enjoyed risks since she was a child,when people used to look down on
her.But nobody does now.
As a child,she lived in poverty and also went through ups and downs.“I am very
sensitive to people who are more unfortunate,”Baggs says.As a young adult,she
joined the British Transport Commission police ,but dealing with children who
couldn’t find their parents was too much to bear.“I knew what they were going
through.I like kids.I really do.”Later she left the police and worked in Wiltshire
council.But no doubt her childhood fed into her actions as a councillor,and later
mayor in Calne,where she helped to set up a drop-in centre for young people.The
drop-in center was one of the causes she raised money for with that first leap out of
the plane.
But why a parachute jump?At the time,her late husband,John,was ill with
bowel cancer.He said,“I do wish you wouldn’t do it.”She said,“John,it’s
life.I’ve got to do something.”
Baggs has never been fazed by ageing.She says that she wanted to show that you
don’t have to sit on your backside knitting or watching television all the time.There’s
a world out there.There’s a life out there.She hopes for at least one more skydive,
maybe a go on a 100 mph zip wire and “a peaceful end”.【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Mercy Baggs不畏高龄,不断
挑战高空跳伞的故事。
12.Why did Mercy Baggs make her first parachute jump?
A.To celebrate her 90th birthday.
B.To make others look up to her.
C.To raise funds for an air ambulance.

的孩子。]
14.What does the underlined word “fazed” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Disturbed. B.Abandoned.
C.Witnessed. D.Embarrassed.
答案 A [词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段以及最后一段中的“She hopes for at
least one more skydive,maybe a go on a 100 mph zip wire”可知,她的丈夫不建议
她继续跳伞,但是Baggs的跳伞计划并没有因年纪大受到影响。因此最后一段
中带下画线的单词“fazed”的意思是“使困窘,使惊慌失措”,即:Baggs从未
因年纪大而惊慌失措。]
15.What does Baggs intend to convey with one more jump?
A.It is never too old to learn.
B.Enjoy life with her family.
C.Failure is the mother of success.D.Be brave to face challenges in life.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She says that she wanted to

Elizabeth wouldn’t walk or talk as an infant.Angela’s left leg was so enlarged that
it hurt to stand.Emma needed a breathing machine just to sleep.Their suffering may
take different forms,but their stories share a common thread:Neither they nor their
families knew what was actually causing these issues.
Those cases are precisely where the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) steps
in.Established in 2008,the UDN’s mission is to provide answers for patients with
diseases that doctors are unable to diagnose.Anyone can apply to the program and the
UDN works hard to screen every application it receives.
Today,the UDN covers 12 clinical sites around the country,and has evaluated
over 1,400 patients.More than 400 of those patients have received a diagnosis
thanks to the UDN.In some of these cases,the network is able to match a patient
with an already known condition.In others,UDN researchers must work to describe
an entirely new disease and enter it into the medical dictionary.The program has
added at least 25 entirely new diseases in this way.Additionally,the UDN covers the
cost of the tests,meaning patients aren’t burdened with crushing medical debt.
“I think they’ve really advanced and changed the whole model for how we
approach many of these illnesses,” says Anne Pariser,director of the Office of
Rare Diseases Research.She says the UDN’s multidisciplinary approach—bringing
different specialists together to talk about challenging cases—has helped advance the
field of rare disease research,especially when it comes to genetic diseases.
Living with a disease without a name can be its own kind of suffering.“You grow
up feeling like,I’m in this,crazy,all by myself,and no one really understands
me,” says Angela Moon,a UDN participant.For patients like her,the UDN
offers hope for treatment,but also for finally being seen.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了未诊断疾病网络(UDN)的成立背景和它取得的进展。
16.The purpose of the first paragraph is to .
A.arouse the readers’ interest in the UDN
B.give a vivid description of rare diseases
C.introduce the background for the UDN’s founding
D.raise a complicated problem that will be solved later
答案 C [写作意图题。根据第一段和第二段中的“Those cases are precisely
where the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) steps in.”可知,文章第一段主要
介绍了一些医生未能诊断病因的病例,而UDN的成立,正是为了确诊这些未能
诊断病因的病例,由此可推断出,第一段的目的是介绍UDN成立的背景。]
17.The third paragraph mainly talks about .
A.the way the UDN is operated nationwide
B.the progress the UDN has made so far
C.the reasons why the UDN is so popular
D.the development stages the UDN has gone through
答案 B [段落大意题。根据第三段中的“Today,the UDN covers 12 clinical
sites...have received a diagnosis thanks to the UDN.”和“The program has added at
least 25 entirely new diseases in this way.”可知,文章第三段主要介绍了到目前为
止UDN所取得的进展,它评估了1 400多名患者,其中400多名患者得到了诊
断,帮助医学领域确诊了 25 种全新的疾病,由此可知,第三段主要讲的是
UDN迄今为止取得的进展。]
18.What can be learned about Angela Moon?
A.She used to live in despair.
B.She failed to identify with others.
C.She is receiving treatment now.
D.There will be a cure for her condition.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,对安吉拉·穆恩来说,因为疾病,
她过去生活在绝望之中,没有人真正理解她,全靠她自己面对疾病,由此可推
断出,关于安吉拉·穆恩,我们可以了解到她过去生活在绝望中。]
19.What can be inferred about the UDN’s work model?A.It has helped spread the knowledge of undiagnosed diseases.
B.It prioritizes participants’ privacy over solving medical mysteries.
C.It is specifically designed to deal with challenging genetic diseases.
D.It emphasizes close cooperation between specialists in separate fields.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She says the UDN’s
multidisciplinary approach...especially when it comes to genetic diseases.”可知,
UDN的工作模式是多学科方法,它将不同领域的专家聚集在一起讨论具有挑战
性的病例,由此可知,UDN 的工作模式强调不同领域的专家之间的密切合
作。]
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·河北1月质检)
We usually divide a year into four seasons.However,in Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) theory,there are five seasons—spring,summer,late summer,
fall,and winter.Each of the five has many features which guide us to change our
habits to keep the balance between our body and the external environment.
Winter in TCM
The ancient Chinese believed that winter is the Yin season in nature. 1 So,
winter is the time of year to reflect on health,save strength and regain energy,
preparing ourselves for the start of new life in the spring.
Activities in winter
In TCM theory , winter is a season to feed ourselves both spiritually and
physically. 2 For example,we can do more writing,reading and other soul-
nourishing(滋养灵魂的) activities.Although energetic exercise should be avoided,
it’s important to keep our body healthy with gentle exercise,especially outdoor
activities,in which we can get fresh air and sunlight.In addition,we should also go
to bed earlier to save more energy. 3
Foods for winter
The principle of harmony between what we eat and the season is based on
hundreds of years of experience in TCM.It suggests that we embrace locally-grown
and seasonable foods,which is the way nature intends us to eat. 4 Most of themnaturally grow in this season—pumpkins , potatoes , root vegetables , winter
greens,carrots,cabbage,mushrooms,and pears.Besides,hot soup,whole
grains and roasted nuts also offer nourishment to feed the body in cold winter
months.But always remember,moderation in all things is important.
Moods in winter
According to TCM theory,stress,depression and unresolved anger can also
weaken our immune (免疫的) system,allowing external factors to affect our body in
winter. 5 Meditation (冥想) and breathing techniques are particularly
helpful,especially in relieving stress.
A.People’s mood varies with the season.
B.Activities in the season have a turn inwards.
C.Eating off-season food is not good for human health.
D.It is inactive,cold and dark,which makes us slow down.
E.During the winter,there are many foods beneficial to us.
F.Everyone can enjoy winter if they live and exercise properly.
G.So,keeping a good feeling is especially important in this cold season.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍“冬季养生法”,助你更好地度
过冬天!
1.D [根据此空前面一句“中国古人认为冬天在自然界中属阴。”和后一句
“因此,冬季是一年中反思健康、保存体力和恢复能量的时候,为春天新生活
的开始做好准备。”的提示可知,D选项“它是不活跃的、寒冷和黑暗的,这
使我们慢下来。”使得上下文语意连贯。]
2.B [根据此空前一句“在中医理论中,冬天是一个在精神上和身体上都滋养
我们的季节。”和后一句 “例如,我们可以多做写作、阅读和其他滋养灵魂的
活动。”的提示可知,空处应指出冬季活动大多为精神层面的特点,故答案为
B “ 这个季节的活动有一个向内的趋势。”]
3.F [此空是这一段的总结,根据本段的内容和关键词 activities可知此空选 F
“每个人都可以享受冬天,如果他们生活和锻炼得当。”]
4.E [根据此空后一句 “大多数蔬菜都是在这个季节自然生长的——南瓜、土
豆、块根类蔬菜、冬季青菜、胡萝卜、卷心菜、蘑菇和梨。”的提示可知此空选E “在冬天,有许多食物对我们有益。”]
5.G [根据本段的关键词“Moods”以及后一句 “Meditation(冥想) and breathing
techniques are particularly helpful” 可知答案为G “所以,在这个寒冷的季节,保
持良好的心情显得尤为重要。”。]

单数含义,且 branch 的发音以辅音音素开头,所以空处用不定冠词 a,故填
a。]
2.dating [考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作后置定语,短语 date back to“起源
于,追溯到”,无被动语态,所以此处用现在分词形式。故填dating。]
3.variety [考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词,结合空前“a wide”可知,此处应
用单数名词variety,故填variety。]
4.as [考查介词。句意:世界卫生组织推荐它作为100多种医学问题的良好治
疗方法。短语recommend...as...“推荐……作为……”,as为介词,故填as。]
5.targeted [考查非谓语动词。动词target和名词points为逻辑上的动宾关系,
所以此处用过去分词targeted作定语,修饰名词points,故填targeted。]
6.Typically [考查词性转换。空处为陈述性状语,处于句首,所以用副词形
式,故填Typically。]
7.deeper [考查比较等级。根据句中“The needles are pushed just under the skin”
及“in order to reach the muscle tissue”可知,这里要使用比较级,表示“为了到
达肌肉组织,针要刺得更深”,故填deeper。]
8.that [考查名词性从句。空处及之后的内容在句中为表语从句,空后的句子结
构完整,成分齐全,所以此处使用从属连词that来连接,故填that。]
9.Humans [考查名词的数。空处在句中为主语,结合空后的 are可知,此处用
名词复数,因处于句首,所以首字母大写。故填Humans。]
10.was named [考查时态语态和主谓一致。空处在句中为谓语,结合句中“in
2010”可知,时态为一般过去时;主语“Chinese acupuncture”为单数含义,与动
词name为被动关系,故填was named。]
