You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A.Her social work. B.Her teaching skills.
C.Her efforts to win a prize. D.Her community background.
2.What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?

Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.

Beware of Phone/Online Scams(诈骗)

—315,000 cases broken in 2015-2017 in China.
—More than billions of money involved.
—Victims of 19 years old top the list in terms of age.
—Victims of 18-25 years old account for 52.4% of the whole.
—……
And here in below we are sharing 4 typical types of Phone/Online scams and how to deal with them.
Hello, this is XX police station, you're involved in a case of money laundering(洗钱)(or some other financial crime). We need your cooperation with the investigation……Please transfer your money into the national security account.
Tip 1: If you are really involved in financial crime, police will visit your home at the first opportunity and take you for investigation. Police are not so dumb as to inform you via telephone. And there is no such thing as national security account.
Hey: Wang(he may know your name). Drop by my office tomorrow morning. BTW, I will be treating some VIP clients soon. I need you to transfer some money into this account. It will refund your money tomorrow.
Tip 2: Think about it. How could any boss in the world ask you for money? Meeting VIP clients without a cent in his pocket? And why doesn't he ask you to give the money to him in person? He is nobody but a scam!
You've got a package which contains illegal drugs or goods. You are now requested to call this number to contact the Public Security Bureau. (Then it all follows scenario预设).
Tip 3:
Public Security Bureau WILL NOT deal with cases via phone calls. NEITHER WILL they send out notification via message.
(In some cases the number is disguised as authentic bank number through software). We are sorry to inform you that you have a bank overdraft. Please contact this customer service representative. His number is XXXXXXXXXX.
Tip 4:
DO NOT panic. REMEMBER to dial the official contact number of the back to double check.
When receiving phone calls/emails from unidentified resources, please pay special attention if the conversation involves any of the following:
●bank cards
●lucky draw
●Transferred to government authorities, including but not limited to police, court/judge, etc.
●secured account
●refund related to online shopping
None of the above business will be carried out on phones or via emails/unofficial website links. So you may just treat them as spams.
Moreover, how to safeguard yourself?
●Never transfer money without face-to-face confirmation.
●Only do business online with those you know and trust or on the official website of the online retailer.
●Protect your personal information, including photo-ID numbers and copies, bank account and passwords.
●Don't trust website links in emails or text messages without verified sources.
●Never believe in Pie in the sky. If something is too good, it won't be true.

A.Statistics imply it's unnecessary to worry about the situation.

【来源】上海市格致中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中英语试题
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A.Her social work. B.Her teaching skills.
C.Her efforts to win a prize. D.Her community background.
2.What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?
A.Her lack of proper training in law.
B.Her little work experience in court.
C.The discrimination against women.
D.The poor financial conditions.
3.What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A.They are highly educated. B.They are truly creative.
C.They are pioneers. D.They are peace-lovers.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去100年中几位杰出女性,赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。
1.细节理解题。根据“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。她通过为有需要的人建立庇护所和促进教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。)”可知,Jane Addams因为推动了社会工作的发展在历史上出名。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的 “When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. (1952年,当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性,也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?(你可能知道Marie Curie是谁,但你可能没有听说过Rachel Carson。在下面列出的杰出女性中,你认为谁是过去100年中最重要的女性?)”可知本文介绍了过去100年里的几位杰出女性;由“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. …In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。…… 1931年,Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性。)”可知,Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展,帮助穷人,为和平而努力,成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性;由“Rachel Carson (1907-1964)”下文介绍中的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. (如果没有Rachel Carson,今天的环保运动可能就不会存在。她1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》让人们意识到污染的危险,以及化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的有害影响。)”可知,Rachel Carson推动环保运动的发展,让人们意识到污染的危险;由“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的“She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. (她成为亚利桑那州参议员,并于1981年成为美国最高法院的第一位女性法官。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor是美国最高法院的第一位女性法官;由“Rosa Parks (1913-2005)”下文介绍中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. (但它也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。)”可知,Rosa Parks因为不愿在公共汽车上给一位乘客让座而入狱,这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动,拉开了民权运动的序幕;由此可知,文章中所列出的这些女性都是某些行业或运动的先驱者。故选C项。

Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all three with the Global Development Association (GDA).
Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in poor and remote communities.
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programs. We have such roles as project managers and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programs:

Beware of Phone/Online Scams(诈骗)
Have you been the victim of a phone/online seam? If you ever think that there’s really no reason to worry, just remember the following statistics.
—315,000 cases broken in 2015-2017 in China.
—More than billions of money involved.
—Victims of 19 years old top the list in terms of age.
—Victims of 18-25 years old account for 52.4% of the whole.
—……
And here in below we are sharing 4 typical types of Phone/Online scams and how to deal with them.
Hello, this is XX police station, you're involved in a case of money laundering(洗钱)(or some other financial crime). We need your cooperation with the investigation……Please transfer your money into the national security account.
Tip 1: If you are really involved in financial crime, police will visit your home at the first opportunity and take you for investigation. Police are not so dumb as to inform you via telephone. And there is no such thing as national security account.
Hey: Wang(he may know your name). Drop by my office tomorrow morning. BTW, I will be treating some VIP clients soon. I need you to transfer some money into this account. It will refund your money tomorrow.
Tip 2: Think about it. How could any boss in the world ask you for money? Meeting VIP clients without a cent in his pocket? And why doesn't he ask you to give the money to him in person? He is nobody but a scam!
You've got a package which contains illegal drugs or goods. You are now requested to call this number to contact the Public Security Bureau. (Then it all follows scenario预设).
Tip 3:
Public Security Bureau WILL NOT deal with cases via phone calls. NEITHER WILL they send out notification via message.
(In some cases the number is disguised as authentic bank number through software). We are sorry to inform you that you have a bank overdraft. Please contact this customer service representative. His number is XXXXXXXXXX.
Tip 4:
DO NOT panic. REMEMBER to dial the official contact number of the back to double check.
When receiving phone calls/emails from unidentified resources, please pay special attention if the conversation involves any of the following:
●bank cards
●lucky draw
