Whether during the summer break or the academic year, the two initiatives provide a unique opportunity for students to gain practical experience and contribute to our community in meaningful ways. The Summer Volunteer Program This program offers two main types of roles to suit different 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 to 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, or doing research in the Hospital and Research Institute. Eligibility (资格) Requirements To be considered for either program, applicants must meet specific criteria. 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 strictly 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. 51. 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 research work. D. They are both intended for future doctors. 52. What is required of volunteers in Child Life roles? A. Taking on research tasks. B. Dealing with office duties. C. Helping at the Family Centre. D. Wearing protective equipment. 53. What is a special benefit of the Co-op Program? A. Getting a well-paid position. B. Playing with child patients. C. Receiving academic credits. D. Exploring the Family Centre. 54. Which of the following volunteer is suitable for the Summer Program? A. One engaged in the summer family trip. B. One turning sixteen after the start date. C. One available in July or August. D. One submitting an application this June. 55. What can be learned about the Summer Volunteer Program? A. It demands devotion and responsibility. B. It offers flexible hours for students. C. It ensures a place for every applicant. D. It requires a medical background. B Nick Woodman’s first start-up, launched in 1999, was a spectacular failure. He raised nearly $4 million from investors for Funbug, a gaming platform where users could win cash prizes. Unfortunately, the company collapsed within two years. “Nobody likes to fail,” Woodman later reflected. “But the worst thing was that I lost my investors’ money — people who believed in a young guy passionate about his idea. When you fail, you start to question: Are my ideas really any good?” The shame and self-doubt that accompany failure can be paralyzing (让人手足无措的) — and not without reason. In the States, roughly one in five new businesses fails within its first year. Fewer than half survive for five years. Only a third make it to a decade. Failure is a real possibility, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Woodman remained committed to building his own company. A surfing enthusiast since his school days, he decided — burned out and broke after the failed start-up — to travel to Indonesia and Australia, hoping to surf and find inspiration. While watching surfers, he noticed how difficult it was for them to take photos while riding waves. That observation sparked a simple idea: a strap (带子) that would tie a camera to a surfer’s wrist. He sewed the prototypes (原型) himself, outsourced the camera modifications (改装), and eventually created the product now known around the world as GoPro. Not long after its debut at the 2004 Action Sports Retailer Convention, it caught on as an essential sports camera. What began as a humbling (令人受挫的) defeat became the foundation for a business that now generates over a billion dollars in annual revenue (营收) and is traded publicly on the NASDAQ (纳斯达克). For Woodman, the failure shaped him. “I was so afraid GoPro would go away like Funbug that I worked myself to the bone,” the American businessman said in an interview. “That’s what the first boom and bust did for me. I was so scared of failing again that I became totally committed to success.” Sometimes it takes a loss to reveal who we really are. When we are knocked out of our comfort zone, we find ourselves fighting just to survive — and in that struggle, we grow. Woodman’s story is inspiring, but in business as in life, nothing is guaranteed. Circumstances can change in an instant. When they do, the only choice is courage. Even in defeat, there is always another chance. The same sun that sets will rise again. 56. After the failure of his first start-up, Funbug, Nick Woodman ________. A. blamed his investors for not supporting him enough B. was ashamed and doubted the quality of his own ideas C. felt relieved and immediately moved on to a new idea D. stopped running his own business and focused on surfing 57. What inspired Woodman to create the product that would become GoPro? A. He saw tourists dropping their cameras in the ocean. B. He realized there was a market for waterproof cameras. C. He noticed people struggling to take pictures while surfing. D. He observed that professional surfers needed better equipment. 58. How did the failure of Funbug affect Woodman’s attitude toward work? A. It encouraged him to prioritize leisure and travel over work. B. It convinced him to seek more investors before starting a business. C. It motivated him to work with great energy to avoid another failure. D. It led him to escape investment of much time and energy in a new project. 59. Which factor probably leads to the eventual success of GoPro compared to Funbug? A. His commitment and ability to turn his idea into a marketable solution. B. His shift from digital gaming concepts to visible hardware solutions. C. Woodman’s willingness to personally finance the new project entirely. D. The strategic decision to target his new product at professional surfers. 60. What is the central message conveyed by the author through Woodman’s story? A. Success is guaranteed for those who work hard enough. B. Technological innovation is a generally accepted path to wealth. C. Business success is primarily determined by luck and timing. D. Failure serves as a test for growth and a preparation for rebirth. C Now, children who are recovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home may have a high-tech friend to help feel less lonely. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.” The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.” This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone. The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class. 61. What can we know about AV1 in Para. 2? A. Its function. B. Its prospect. C. Its developing history. D. Its production material. 62. What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean? A. make up for B. replace C. take part in D. design 63. What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student? A. It makes the student forget the pain of recovery. B. It helps the student keep connected with campus life. C. It lets the student have more time to rest at home. D. It allows the student to make more new friends. 64. Why is AV1 designed to be human-like? A. To hold more advanced computer parts. B. To offer kids support and companionship. C. To make it tough enough against falls. D. To attract more attention in the classroom. 65. What is the best title for the text? A. The Development of Smart Robots. B. 5G Network: A Trend in Education. C. How to Cure Long-term Illnesses. D. AV1: A Bridge to School Life. D Trees take quite a while to grow. If someone 50 years ago planted a row of oaks or a chestnut tree on your land, you have something that no amount of money or effort can copy. The only way is to wait. Tree-lined roads, old gardens, and houses protected by decades of tree canopy: if you want to start fresh on an empty plot, you will not be able to get that. Because some things just take time. We know this by instinct. We pay more for Swiss watches, luxury bags, and historic houses precisely because of the time put into them-either the time spent building them or their age. We set age limits for driving, voting, and drinking because we believe maturity only comes through real-life experience. Yet we now live in a time of instant satisfaction, which affects how we develop software and run companies. Though we can speed up code writing, the key factor of a successful company or an Open-Source project lies in persistence — the ability of leaders or maintainers to stick to a problem for years, build relationships, and work through challenges that take a lifetime to solve. We tend to think all difficulties in life should be solved by automation and human involvement replaced by AI-based decisions. But often, the difficulty or the time needed is exactly the point. We have cooling-off periods for important life decisions because we know people need time to think, and doing something right once means little — commitment over time matters. AI writes code fast, but we are pushing this speed further: we want to release products faster, run more experiments, and remove all remaining frictions of reviews, designing and configuring (配置) infrastructure. Yet the software we depend on now has a short lifespan, measured in months rather than decades, as do the relationships built with customers. I’m skeptical of those who claim to save us time. AI tools seem to leave us with less time, as we fill every free moment with more tasks. Time saved is quickly taken by competition, and we can never really “save” it. I keep thinking of the trees. Maintaining Open-Source projects for nearly 20 years and working at a startup for 10 years taught me that time tums ideas into commitments, and commitments into something that can support others. Trust, quality and community can’t be created in a hurry-they take time, just like a 50-year-old oak. 66. According to the passage, which explains the value of old trees? A. They require precious time and effort for their growth. B. They are mainly found in historic gardens and sites. C. They provide samples for modern technology to copy. D. They produce excellent material for building houses. 67. What is the function of the single sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To provide a specific example. B. To introduce a novel chapter. C. To present the thesis statement. D. To list a contradictory opinion. 68. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Automation and AI provide the best ways to solve life’s challenges. B. Dedication and perseverance involved in a process can be essential. C. People should make wise decisions to succeed in the modern world. D. Commitment over time is less important than solving tricky problems. 69. What is the author’s attitude towards the claim that AI will give us more free time? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Confused. 70. Which of the following proverbs best summarizes the central theme presented in the passage? A. More haste, less speed. B. A stitch in time saves nine. C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共30分） 第四部分：（共2小节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（满分10分） “Where’s my list?” I asked, searching through papers on the breakfast table. My husband John smiled, joking about my constant to-do lists. For me, lists were not just organization — they were a way to calm my worries. Now, with our children grown, John and I were preparing for a major change: selling our home after nearly 30 years and moving somewhere new. I began imagining our future: a place near the water, easy for family visits, with good transport links. But before any of that, we had to sell our house. Throughout my life, I had always believed in finishing tasks before allowing myself to enjoy what came next. Yet again and again, something interrupted — a sudden family crisis, a friend’s last-minute need, even a worldwide pandemic that no one predicted — and my well-made plans would fall apart. Each time, I felt like starting over from the beginning. I reminded John how long it took to sell our first home, a place filled with early memories. Our first son, Jay, was born while we were still waiting for a buyer. That small house witnessed his first steps, his first words, and the news that I was pregnant with our second child, Mark. In my eagerness to move forward back then, I almost missed the beauty of those everyday moments. Sitting at our kitchen table now, I looked around. This house, too, held a lifetime of joy: the boys walking to school, friends gathering in the yard, grandparents living nearby, and countless family meals, stories, and laughter. For three decades, these walls had contained so much happiness. Why had I spent so much time planning for “someday” while overlooking the precious “now”? I gently pushed my lists aside. “The right buyer will come at the right time,” I said to John. “We’ll end up exactly where we’re meant to be.” He looked at me, surprised. “What’s changed?” he asked. “My outlook has changed,” I replied. “I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I fail to appreciate the present — whether our house sells in two weeks or two years.” As it happened, our home sold much faster than I expected. Now, in our new place, my to-do list remains long, and not everything goes according to plan. But I am learning, day by day, to enjoy the journey itself. 71. For what purpose did the author make to-do lists? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What significant life decision did the author mention? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 73.
