Over the next three decades,Fahim has made countless trips to the hospital.During those visits,the compassionate(有同情心的) treatment from Cairo deeply moved him."He is a friend of the Afghan people."Fahim said of Cairo.When Fahim decided to study medicine,it was Cairo who kept encouraging him.Today Fahim works as a nurse and an anesthetist(麻醉师)in a hospital in Afghanistan. 69 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） Fahim is only one example of what Cairo leaves behind in Kabul.For Cairo,the job as a doctor came by chance."I was a teenager in Italy when I saw a man doing something that seemed so simple and so helpful:helping peo- ple to walk.That moment left a strong im- pression on me.I eventually left my training as a lawyer behind to choose medicine." In his early years in Afghanistan,Cairo was shocked by the great number of patients seeking treatment for wounds caused by the war.Each year,the rehabilitation(康复)cen- ters treat more than 13,000 new patients-most of whom,like Fahim,require lifetime treat- ment. At first,the ICRC's treatment center only focused on war sufferers,but Cairo expanded its treatment to include all people with disabili- ties in the country.He made two decisions that have left a lasting impact.One was to employ former patients to work in the treat- ment center.The second was to organize an athletic group for people with disabilities. "My final goal is to let each patient go back to society and live with dignity(自尊)，”said Cairo while waiting to begin his daily round in the West Kabul rehabilitation center. 24.Why has Fahim made countless trips to the hospital in Kabul? A.To express his appreciation to Cairo. B.To carry out his work as a nurse. C.To strengthen his friendship with Cairo. D.To receive his lifetime treatment. 70 25.Why did Cairo choose to be a doctor? A.He followed his childhood dream. B.He valued the virtue of helpfulness. C.He was removed from the law school. D.He was shocked by the war. 26.What is Cairo's ultimate aim as a doctor? A.To build more rehabilitation centers. B.To give treatment to war sufferers. C.To offer jobs to all with disabilities. D.To bring dignity to patients. 27.Which part of a newspaper is the text pro- bably from? A.Entertainment.B.People C.Technology. D.Culture. C Flattened ears,constricted pupils(收缩 的瞳f孔)，a lick of the lips,.etc.If you've ever wondered if your cat friends'faces are saying something whenever they got together,chances are they are. In a new study,two US scientists counted 276 different facial expressions when domes- ticated(家养的)cats interacted with one an- other."Our study shows that cat communica- tion is more complex than previously assumed," study co-author Brittany Florkiewicz said. Florkiewicz explained that domesticated cats are typically more socially tolerant than their wildcat counterparts because of the way they live with humans,so the researchers were expecting to see expression in both positive and negative contexts-but they were sur- prised to "observe 276 distinct facial expres- sions”. According to Florkiewicz and lead author Lauren Scott,domestication allows more cat- to-cat social interactions,which is why the pair believed they would show more expres- sion. To collect data,Scott filmed 53 cats at a cat cafe between August 2021 and June 2022. From the 194 minutes of video footage ga- thered,she recorded 186 interactions of cats. The cats were adult domestic shorthairs of both sexes. Both researchers studied the differences in expression with a coding system designed specifically for cats,called the Cat Facial Ac- tion Coding System,looking at the number and types of facial muscle movements.The study added that muscle movements related to biological processes such as breathing and yawning(打哈欠)were not included. "Our hope is to increase our sample size to include cats living in other locations...look- ing at the facial expressions of cats living in various cat homes,wild areas and so on," Florkiewicz said."Another goal for the future is to conduct a follow-up study to determine what more of the expressions mean." 28.Why were domesticated cats chosen for the study? A.They interact more with other cats. B.They can be observed for a longer time. C.They have more friendly expressions. D.They can be better understood by hu- Finaltest (1) mans. 29.How did researchers observe cats'expres- sions? A.Through a large number of pictures. B.Through on-site observation. C.By interviewing cat owners. D.By watching videos. 30.What can we learn about cats'expressions? A.Not all expressions mean something. B.They are either friendly or aggressive. C.Ears'moving forward shows friendliness. D.Flattening ears against the head shows fear. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The need for more research. B.The significance of the study. C.The shortcomings of the study. D.The direction of future research. D When is a shed(小屋)more than just a building?When it's a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling.That's the concept around which the Men's Sheds move- ment-led by the UK Men's Sheds Associa- tion (UKMSA)-is designed. While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activi- ties there are often done alone,Men's Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building,as well as sharing skills and know- ledge."We know how well the movement helps with loneliness,social isolation(孤立)and both physical and mental health,"said Rob 71 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） Lloyd,the UKMSA spokesperson. Recently,the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced,re- cognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year.Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men's Shed.Simon Rouse,its chairman,talked about their ap- proach:"We've been trying to marry two things:capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer." He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can't afford."Our Men's Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,"said Rouse. "If we put the two together,it's a win for the men,their families,the local charities and community groups.Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a va- riety of things,including repairing electrical equipment,and building a hollow reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools." Rouse said that winning the award would be a rich reward for years of intense effort by men who might have thought the best was over for them."Now we'll really see what we're capable of,”he enthused..“The award would give our members another fantastic en- couragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men's Sheds." 72 32.What is the main goal of the Men's Sheds movement? A.To reach the completion of personal projects. B.To help men with social and health chal- lenges. C.To help improve men's problem-solving skills D.To expand the influence of charity or- ganizations. 33.How does the Shrewsbury Men's Shed help struggling men? A.By investing in local charities. B.By upgrading their workshops. C.By providing medical assistance. D.By engaging them in voluntary tasks. 34.Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse? A.It guaranteed them more work chances. B.It improved their financial conditions. C.It changed their perception of themselves. D.It enhanced their well-being and reputa- tion. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health B.Knowledge Growth Through Men's Sheds C.From Isolation to Inspiration:The Sheds Story D.Men's Sheds:Bridges of Hope and Con- nection 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Green roofs have been around for thou- sands of years,long before modern housing was developed.From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon,they remained an impor- tant part of architecture.36. They bring enormous environmental benefits and of- fer solutions to some pressing ecological chal- lenges of our time. In the design of a green roof,there are key factors that count.The first step is to in- stal(安装)a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage.37. It's es- sential to choose high-quality materials,as once the green roof is completed and the build- ing is in use,replacing the protective layer be- comes difficult and expensive. Next,a drainage(排水)layer,which is often made of pebbles or a special mat,is placed on top.It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it.Then,a growing medium,like soil or other similar materials,is spread over the drainage layer.38. Now it's time to choose plants for the roof.Some plants have shallow root systems and don't need much water.39. Se- dum and chives are good examples of such plants.They are not only water-efficient but Finaltest (1) tough and long-lasting. 40. It's important to think about your budget.On average,it costs S25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof.This doesn't include the cost of installing or repair- ing the normal roof underneath.And there is labour cost to cover.If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot,installing a green roof could easily double that expense. A.This is where the plants will grow. B.However,green roofs come at a high cost. C.Today,green roofs are gaining more at- tention. D.These features make them ideal for green roofs. E.As a result,they led to the popularity of green roofs. F.Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels. G.The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、 C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A few months ago,one of my fellow gra- duate students was offered an incredible career- building opportunity.His efforts on a student- led campaign to increase federal funding for basic research had 41 an invitation to speak on a conference panel(专家组).It would look great on his CV(简历).I was happy for 73 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） him,of course.I had been a(n)42 partner in the campaign.I felt that I deserved the same opportunity.Yet I hadn't been 43 and I wasn't sure why.

Usually,it's my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny(老掉牙的)jokes around my friends.But a few weeks ago,it was my mother 75 高中英语选择性必修第三册（外研版） who played the embarrassing-parent role. While my mom and I were shopping,we ran into my teacher,who mentioned that the school didn't have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And,right then and there,my mom said, "I know the perfect song and dance.I'll teach it to the kids!” Before I could say "Please don't",my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week.Oh,and just to be clear,it's not as if she's a professional enter- tainer.My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower. “Um,”I said on our way home,.“are you sure this is such a good idea?”“Of course!” she said."If we want your school Winter Fair to happen,people need to step up and volun- teer.”“I know volunteering is important,.”I said,"but couldn't you help out in Tex and Indi's kindergarten instead?"She laughed, "Don't be silly.We will have fun!" “OK,fellas!”my teacher said at9:28on Monday."We're going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with the performance for Win- ter Fair.Let's all welcome Arizona's mother." I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world's silliest snowflake hat."I'm super excited to be here with you!”my mom said,.“T'm going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance per- 76 formance I learned a few years back,when I did some theater in college.Here goes!" Oh please,oh please,I said over and over in my head,let there be a fire drill,or an as- sembly,or a power failure,or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing her- self and me!！ But apparently,my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “I can't believe this is happening”was all I could think. Paragraph 2: My mom turned out to be more than a lit- tle OK at performing.
