Seventeen-year-old Lansing resident Maggie Callendar created a unique fundraiser for the Capital Area Humane Society. “I have two animals here.

Maggie has been working a lot, taking photos of Ernie and Fiber and turning them into works of art. “I was brainstorming ways, things I could do, and I figured creating calendars using those pictures would be a good idea. I got that idea from my last name, so that made sense to me,” she said.

Donatella Flick was the winner of the competition’s 17th part. She wanted to find young conductors at the beginning of their careers and make sure they had tools to enable them not to give up until they succeed.
“It’s so important to train young talents and give them the opportunities to succeed,” she said, reflecting on founding the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition 33 years ago.
That was why, she emphasized, the prize went beyond the cash award — which was a healthy £15,000 — and offered the winner the opportunity to assist the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) for a year. They could work with some of the world’s finest conductors and lay foundations for a successful conducting career.
Flick was born Princess Donatella Missikoff. Since 1917, Flick has successfully built a career and reputation as an artist. She now organizes charitable foundations and project all over the world.
With the Competition, she was motivated by finding more talents in unexpected places — before diversity and inclusion spread through different industries as new “buzzwords”.
“One way to do this was to broaden the range for applications, so we opened up entries to conductors from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland in 2018. Since then, I’ve been very pleased to see conductors from those countries reach the list of competitors,” she said. “One of the major changes that I’ve been very happy to see is that more women are applying for the Competition now than when we started in 1990, and I hope this continues in future competitions.”
In view of the fact that only four of the 20 conductors — that was 20 percent — who qualified for the 2023 competition were women it was clear that a gender imbalance persisted.
“I think we have a new generation of female conductors emerging, and I would deeply encourage them to apply to the Competition if they’re at the start of their careers,” Flick said, still hopeful.
5. Why did Flick found the Conducting Competition?
A. To become famous. B. To continue her family tradition.
C. To train the future stars of conducting. D. To promote the finest conductors’ careers.
6. How did Flick help young conductors?
A. By introducing them to some world-class orchestras.
B. By supporting them financially.
C. By equipping them with conducting tools.
D. By providing more opportunities for them.
7. What major change does the Conducting Competition bring?
A. The range for applications is broadened every year.
B. More females intend to take part in it now.
C. Youths worldwide engage themselves in conducting.
D. Males account for 80% of the qualified conductors.
8. Which of the following can best describe Flick?
A. Kind and ambitious. B. Generous and brave.
C. Sensible and creative. D. Energetic and productive.

In today’s digital age when you can get information in a blink of an eye, there is a concern about children developing an appreciation for reading printed books. That’s why communities in Australia have come up with a way to spread a love of books in the younger generations.
Communities have dealt with this problem by bringing libraries to where the kids are, in the streets. The little libraries are made of weatherproof boxes that are set up outside of houses or public spaces and are filled with books. People can take books they haven’t read and donate ones they have to the libraries.
Street Library Australia, nonprofit, was started by Nick Lowe after he saw a Little Free Library in a trip to the US. In 2015 it planned to build 30 libraries, the idea mushroomed and now there are 4, 500 registered street libraries in Australia. “It just grew and grew,” Lowe said.
The libraries come in all shapes and sizes from reformed doll houses to old kitchen cupboards. They are completely voluntary and anyone can start one. Pamela Zielke who runs a library called Pam’s Pantry gives out toys and craft supplies along with books. As an early childhood educator, she started her library with the goal of stopping books from ending up becoming waste.
But the libraries are doing much more than just providing books and other donated items to people. The street libraries are also building community. “It’s a little stopping place outside your house,” Lowe said. “It’s a great way to meet people in your neighborhood who are also booklovers, recycle books and find new books. But even more importantly, the libraries are bringing communities closer together.”
9. How do communities in Australia develop children’s love for books?
A. By borrowing good books from the libraries.
B. By providing book appreciation classes.
C. By exchanging books with one another.
D. By building libraries close to their homes.
10. What does the underlined word “mushroomed” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Became acceptable. B. Grew fast.
C. Stayed current. D. Changed slowly.
11. What can we know about the street libraries?
A. They are set up voluntarily.
B. They have the same size and shape.
C. They bring owners many profits.
D. They’ sell recycled toys and books.
12. What does Lowe think of the street libraries?
A. They connect communities together.
B. They improve education of residents.

Every year, people all around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day with lots of different activities. Earth Day events typically have one theme in common: the desire to show support for environmental issues and teach future generations about the need to protect our planet.
The very first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22,1970. The event, which some consider to be the birth of the environmental movement, was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson.Nelson chose the April date to coincide (同时发生) with spring while avoiding most spring break and final exams.

Participants(参与者) from 2, 000 colleges and universities, roughly 10,000 primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities across the United States got together in their local communities to mark the occasion of the very first Earth Day. Almost 20 million Americans filled the streets of their local communities on that first Earth Day, demonstrating in support of environmental issues.
Earth Day is now observed in 192 countries,and celebrated by billions of people around the world. Events can be found everywhere from tree planting activities at your local park to online parties that share information about environmental issues.

In 2012, more than 100 ,000 people rode bikes in Beijing to raise awareness about climate change and help people learn what they could do to protect the planet.
How can you get involved? The possibilities are endless. Pick up trash in your neighborhood. Make a commitment to reduce your food waste or electricity use. Plant a tree. Talk to your friends and family about environmental issues.The best part? Make every day Earth Day and help to make this planet a healthy place for all of us to enjoy.
13. What is the purpose to celebrate Earth Day?
A. To take part in activities. B. To protect our earth.

My story is about my mother’s beautiful ball gown(舞裙). She had carefully rapped it in paper and placed it in a cardboard box and it was hidden away in a top cupboard. From time to time it would be lifted out of its box and shown to us, and as small girls we would imagine the day when we might be allowed to try it on. That never happened.
The top cupboard where the dress was stored happened to be in my bedroom. One day when I was around the age of nine or ten, I was very anxious to try it on. I quickly pulled the gown over my head. My mother’s waist(腰)must have been extremely tiny as it fitted my waist with little room to spare.
Suddenly, I realized that my mother would be home soon, so I hurriedly undressed but I accidentally spill(洒)a bottle of ink over the bottom of the dress. I was shocked and scared. Carefully, I put it into the box and replaced the box onto the shelf. I lived with the fear throughout my teenage years that it would eventually be discovered.
The years passed and my mother grew old and became ill. I made the decision that she would come to live in a nursing home near me. Before she went there, I decided to arrange an afternoon tea with a group of her closest friends. Mom and her friends talked about their past days.

Earth Day is now observed in 192 countries,and celebrated by billions of people around the world.

【17题详解】
空格前的句子“What do a picturesque sunrise, a nice cup of coffee, and holiday celebrations have in common?(风景如画的日出、一杯美味的咖啡和节日庆祝有什么共同之处?)”提出了一个问题,所以空格处的句子应该回答上文的问题,与E项“These are all wonderful experiences that you can share with loved ones(这些都是美好的经历,你可以与所爱的人分享)”正是对上文问题的回答,和上一句是顺接关系。故选E项。

根据下文“In a study, after participants expressed their emotions, brain images showed a decrease in the brain activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain associated with feelings, indicating a calming effect on the brain. The researchers concluded that talking through emotions decreases the strength of these emotions.(在一项研究中,在参与者表达自己的情绪后,大脑图像显示杏仁核的大脑活动减少,杏仁核是大脑中与感觉相关的部分,这表明它对大脑有镇静作用。研究人员得出结论,带着情绪说话会降低这些情绪的强度。)”可知,此处上下文说的是分享情绪可以改善大脑的功能,与A项“Opening up keeps emotional intensity down.(敞开心扉可以降低情绪强度。)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“holding everything inside and not expressing your emotions can be harmful(把所有东西都藏在心里,不表达自己的情绪可能是有害的)”可知此处上下文说的是不表达情绪对身体的危害,与G项“That may cause increased stress levels and risk of developing related diseases(这可能会导致压力增加,并增加患相关疾病的风险)”表达的含义一致,故选G项。

My story is about my mother’s beautiful ball gown(舞裙). She had carefully rapped it in paper and placed it in a cardboard box and it was hidden away in a top cupboard. From time to time it would be lifted out of its box and shown to us, and as small girls we would imagine the day when we might be allowed to try it on. That never happened.
The top cupboard where the dress was stored happened to be in my bedroom. One day when I was around the age of nine or ten, I was very anxious to try it on. I quickly pulled the gown over my head. My mother’s waist(腰)must have been extremely tiny as it fitted my waist with little room to spare.
Suddenly, I realized that my mother would be home soon, so I hurriedly undressed but I accidentally spill(洒)a bottle of ink over the bottom of the dress. I was shocked and scared. Carefully, I put it into the box and replaced the box onto the shelf. I lived with the fear throughout my teenage years that it would eventually be discovered.
The years passed and my mother grew old and became ill. I made the decision that she would come to live in a nursing home near me. Before she went there, I decided to arrange an afternoon tea with a group of her closest friends. Mom and her friends talked about their past days.
