The Summer Volunteer Program This program offers two main types of roles to suit differont interests,First,in Hospital Support roles, students help in places like the Family Centre or Gift Shop-to help create a friendly environment.Alternatively, those in Child Life.roles join in play activities and help keep-a playroom safe:Please note that volunteers in Child Life roles must be willing to put on necessary protective equipment,such as masks and protective clothing,as many positions require entering rooms where patients are kept separated. The Co-op Program Unlike the summer option,this program gives students in Grades 11 and 12 the chance te:explore healthcare or research careers during their regular school terms.Students can earn school credit while taking part in hands-on positions.These roles can include office work,interacting with patients,ordoing research in the Hospital and Research Institute. Eligibility(资格)Requirements To be considered for either program,applicants must meet specific eriteria.You must be currently a high school student and be at least 16 years of age by the program's start date,For the Summer Program,volunteers must commit to working three hours every weekday (Monday to Friday)throughout July or..August.Due to the program's intensive nature,we are striotly unable to accommodate absences.Therefore,please consider any personal conflicts,such as summer courses or family vacations,before applying. Application Information The Summer Program runs in two separate sessions:July 2-31 and August 1-31.However,applications for both months must be submitted online in March.The program is highly competitive,with around 400 applicants competing for only 50 summer spots. 36.What feature do the two volunteer programs at SickKids have in common? A.They both help with school coursework. B.They both provide practical.experience. C They are both related to regearch work.

C.One available for the whole July session. D.One submitting an application this June. 40.What can be learned about the Summer Volunteer Program? A.It demands commitment and reliability. B.It offers flexible hours for students C.It ensures a place for every applicant. D.It requires a medical background. B In 2004,when my daughter Becky was ten,she and my husband,Joe,were united in their desire for a dog.As for me,I shared none of their wish. But-why,they pleaded.Because I don't have time to take care of a dog."But we'll do it."Really?You're going to walk the dog?Feed the dog?Bathre the dog?"Yes,yes and yes."I don't believe you."We will.We promise. They didn't.From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day),neither thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots,to schedule her vet appointments,to feed and clean her,Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small,medium,and large),she calculated,"The medium one is the sucker in the pack." Quickly,she and 1 developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld )She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers,beam her need,and then wait,trusting I would understand,which,strangely,I almost always did.In no time,she became my fifth appendage )snoring on my home-office couch as I worked,cradling against my feet as I'read,and splaying across my stomach as I watched television. Even'so,part of me continued to resent walking duty.Joe and Becky had promised.Not fair,I'd balk 情愿地做)silently as she and I walked.“Not fair.”I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our retumn home. Then one-day-January 1,2007,to be exact-my husband's doctor uttered an unthinkable word:leukemia ()With that,I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital,doing anything and everything I could'to ease his discomfort.During those six months of hospitalizations,Becky,12 at that time,adjusted to other adults being in the house-when she returned from school.My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies.Every part of my life changed;no part of my old routine remained. Save one:Misty still needed walking.At the beginning,when friends offered to take her through her paces,I declined becausie I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by,I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty.The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet,peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded.The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household,it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar.Pretty much everyone you know acts differently. After Joe died in 2009,Misty slept on his pillow. I'm grateful-to a point.The truth is,after years of balking,I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty.As I watch her chase a squirrel,throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory,she reminded me,too,that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future,there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment 41.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that A.Misty was quite smart B.Misty could solve math problems C.The writer was a slow learner D.No one walked Misty the first day 42.What can we learn from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A.The author didn't want to walk the dog because she didn't like her.B.The dog was naughty and annoying. C.Although loving the dog,she was reluctant to walk her.D.She always shouted at the dog while walking. 43.The story came to its turning point when A.Joe died in 2009 B.the writer began to walk the dog C.Joe fell ill in 2007 D.the dog tried to please the writer 44.Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital? A.The walk provided,her with ispiritual comfort. B,Herfriends did恤生ofer'恤yhelp. C.Sheicould unfold the day's medical drama. D.She didn't want Misty to be others"companion. 45.What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A.One should learn to enjey hard times. B.A disaster can change everything in life. C.Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope abead. D.People will change their attitude toward you.when you are in difficulty, Q A quantum battery (has been built within a quantum computer,marking a.significant step toward determining if it:could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions.Quantum_batteries,however,rely on tiny partieies called quantum bits(qubits,量子比特)，nstead of chemicals,,these Batteries'store energy by focusing on t伪e various ways these particles can stay边at the same.time一a phenomenon called superposition(叠加).This unique process may-lead to better battery performance. Some:studies have shown that using these special features can resuli in faster charging,but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains ad open question. "Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,"says Diani Tan,a researcher in Hefei,China."While we have made great progress in building quantum computers,the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored." Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in-a network,where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system.The researchers tested two different charging methods.One worked like a conventional battery,while the seoond onestook advantage of the interactions between qubits.The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently,gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. -Despite-these promising lab results,translating them into practical advantages is challenging."Comnparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,"says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic.In his view,the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers.Now,the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine.This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery,creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 46.How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A.By using different.particle states. B.By improving-chemical reactions.- C.By adding more storage units. D.By reducing the battery size. 47.Why did Tan's team test two different charging methods? A.To.make.the conventional.battery system.efficient.-B.To find-the-best state-for-the-quantum batteries. C.To simplify the conventional charging process. D.To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 48.What is Dominik Safranek's view on quantum batteries? A.Their value remains to be proven. B.Their performance is difficult to judge. C.Their practical application is challenging. D.Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 49.What will Tan's team probably do next? A.Put the battery into a quantum computer. B.Build a new classical heat engine C.Make their charging methods better. D.Link the battery to a heat engine. 50.What is the main idea of the text? A.The status and future of conventional batteries. B.The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C.The chemical principles behind conventional storagc.D.The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. D In an increasingly individualistic world,the act of giving-whether time,resources,or skills-serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation.Engaging in cbarity activitics fosters deeper human connections,enhances interpersonal relationships,and profoundly influences individuals'mental and emotional well-being.This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism(利他主义)，emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment. At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural buman desire for connection.Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging,linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments.These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks,as individuals unite under a common purpose.For instance,volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connecf on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial. Moreover,altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual's mental health.Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins(内啡肽)，the so-called“helper's high,"whicb can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness.Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety,leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction.This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual,as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities,creating a positive cycle of aluuism and well-being. Furthermore,acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength,attributes essential for enduring human relationships.By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion.This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society.Additionally,the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth,helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance. In conclusion,the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts.By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being,acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger,more resilient communities.In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (..human connections and improve individual mental health.The culfivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own,creating a more compassionate and harmonious socicty.By choosing to engage in giving,we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities. 51.What does the word"antidote"most probably mean in Paragraph 1? A.An effective solution.B.A harmful result. C.A social trend. D.A mental disease. 52.According to the passage,which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness? A The release of endorphins that improve mood. B.The significant improvement of social fairness. C.The building of lasting friendships and social networks. D.The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience 53.What is the main idea of the essay? A.Individualism is.the root cause of societal problems. B.Altruism is the.only solution to mental health issues. C.Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways. D.Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated. 54.How is the passage mainly organized? A.By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions. B.By stating a claim and.supporting it with three arguments. C.By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness. D.By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior. 55.Based on the essay,what can be inferred fror the passage? A.People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively. B.Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by laok of charity. C.Being kind would have significant impact on health. D.Being kind can remove depression and anxiety. 第I卷 第四部分写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 From Jan 16 to 23,a group of high school students worked wifh a youth media platform to create a short English play called The Taste of Tarifs ()Through the project,they not only explored a global issue,but also learned.an important lesson about teamwork. The idea came from a newspaper article about tariffs The students found the topic fresh and meaningful,and during a study trip they continued discussing it on a high-speed train.Their excitement was so great that they even held auditions in the aisle.By the time they arrived,the team had already been formed. However,as rehearsals began,conflict soon arose ()Two students,who were responsible for writing the script ()disagreed strongly about how the story should be told.One wanted the play to focus on facts and logic so that it would sound serious and convincing.The other believed that it should include more emotion and dramatic scenes to attract the audience.Neither would give in.Their argument beoame so heated that rehearsal had to stop,and the rest of the team sat in silence.
