In March, 2022, an exhibition of photographic work highlighting young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the guidance of the Canon Young People Programme(YPP). The images were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, under the guidance of the former pupil, Canon Ambassador and professional photographer, Clive Booth.

The exhibition displayed seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12 pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to handle the sustainability issues that matter to them.

Pupils were tasked with using visual storytelling, language, and design to create a poster and video that would bring to life their concerns for the future of the planet and their local environment. As the pupils created their masterpieces, they were mentored by Booth, who recently appeared as guest editor of Digital Photographer, and other Canon experts. The children were provided with inspiration and education through training on how to use Adobe Spark, how to shoot photographs and videos, and how to use lighting and props (道具) to bring their stories to life.

“This activity has created some incredible results, and I’m proud that the school has had the opportunity to show these images to the wider public,” said Booth. “It’s clear that the pupils were able to use these creative workshops as a platform to openly express their anxieties about climate change and their concerns over the future of the planet.”

Canon’s Young People Programme helps young people from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa with creative education by delivering workshops, inspiration and instruction. Since its start, it has worked with over 5, 000 young people and over 50 charity partners.

1What can we learn about the exhibition?

A. Most visitors to it were pupils aged 12.

B. Its primary focus was on climate problems.

C. More than seven images were displayed in it.

D. It showed the progress in digital photography.

2. Which of the following can replace “mentored” in paragraph 3?

A. Understood. B. Dominated.

C. Taught. D. Evaluated.

3. Why did Booth feel proud of the activity?

A. It enabled the young to fully convey their ideas.

B. It offered an opportunity to exhibit his artwork.

C. It drew a lot of public attention to photography.

D. It promoted the Canon YPP’s creative education.

Each year more than 6 million dogs and cats end up in animal shelters, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day was designed to raise awareness about organizations’ work with homeless animals. Their main mission is to find homes for pets and reunite lost ones with their human families, but they need a lot of volunteer help.

“Not everyone has to have an animal in order to care about animals,” said Debra Duel of the Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington. One way to help is to become a short-term foster (收养) family. Fostering frees up space in busy shelters. Adoptable pets get more personal attention once fostered in a loving home than in crowded shelter environments. “Fostering is great for people who can’t have a permanent pet,” Duel said. Fostering also helps people learn more about pet care before offering a forever home.

Victoria now 12, has taken care of 49 animals since 2018. “Every animal is an individual,” Victoria said. “Each requires different work. Puppies or kittens require more time and training than older dogs and cats,” she said. “Even small animals like guinea pigs are more work than people think.”

If you really can’t foster, consider donating time, money and supplies to a shelter. Kindergartners at Browne Academy in Fairfax County did just that. They, in a partnership with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, raised several hundred dollars by drawing pictures of family pets that sold for S1 each. They also made cat toys and pillows. Their efforts helped improve the animals’ stay at the shelter, and they helped reduce adoption fees for people who can’t afford them.

Hopefully all those efforts will lead to fewer animals waiting for their forever homes.

4. A short-term foster family can help to _________.

A. encourage more people to love pets

B. bring benefits to people without a pet

C. reduce overcrowding in animal shelters

D. advocate sheltering and caring for animals

5. What do Victoria’s words imply?

A. Older pets are more suitable for adoption.

B. Animals should have been equally trained.

C. Small animals need less care and attention.

D. People should think twice before fostering pets.

6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

AChildren’s role in charity events. B. A great need for animal adoption.

C. Problems animal shelters are faced with. D. Another way to help animals in shelters.

【答案】4. C5. D6. D

C

Replacing the meat and dairy products that make up a typical European diet with laboratory-grown produce could cut food-related greenhouse gases, as well as water and land use, by over 80 percent, a new study suggests. Food production has huge environmental impacts, creating more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

To assess ways to reduce this impact, Rachel Mazac at the University of Helsinkiin Finland and her colleagues have studied the potential effects of switching to “novel and future foods”. “What we are looking at are foods that are novel in their production technology, like cultured meat or cultured milk,” says Mazac. Her team used the analyses to calculate the potential benefits of switching to these foods assuming people are willing to do so, compared with foods that are typically consumed in Europe.

The results suggest that an “optimised diet” of novel foods could cut greenhouse emissions by 83 percent, water use by 84 percent and land use by 87 percent. “We are seeing some pretty significant reductions in impacts,” says Mazac. The team also found that switching to a vegan (素食的) diet had the similar effect. But switching to lab-grown meat, rather than a vegan diet, could allow many people to eat foods that are more like their current diet. “It would be a way for someone to consume their fast-food burger, but save on land use and water use and global warming potential,” says Mazac.

Speaking of the results, Tim Lang at City, University of London, says: “It’s almost too good to be true.” If the findings are correct, the research has important policy implications (启示), he says. But Lang thinks the environmental benefits won’t come about through consumers making voluntary changes to their diet. They will only play out if governments and companies essentially force these foods on people, he says.

7. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?

A. By comparing facts. B. By voicing opinions.

C. By releasing figures. D. By reporting findings.

8. What can be inferred from the research led by Mazac?

A. People tend to welcome novel foods enthusiastically.

B. A new way is used to assess the benefits of novel foods.

C. Novel foods are not likely to affect people’s eating habits.

D. Water and land use is on the rise in novel food production.

9. What is Lang’s attitude towards the future of novel foods?

A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Responsible.

10. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Less Meat, Fewer Problems B. Novel Foods, Greener Planet

C. Lab-grown Meat: Best Choice Food D. Future Foods: Healthy Diet

Picture this: you are flicking (不停转换) channels and you come across an advertisement for a popular cigarette brand with doctors praising its health benefits. Unbelievable? Think again. ___11___ Shocking as it may now be, it was common to see doctors give their approval to cigarette makers.

___12___ In fact, during the first run of the cartoon show The Flintstones in 1960, its official sponsor was Winston cigarettes, and in one advertisement, the characters Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble were seen smoking a pack together, with the latter remarking after a puff: “It tastes good, like a cigarette should.”

However, there was resistance in the media to the fabrications (虚假信息) of wealthy tobacco companies. It was the American issue of Reader’s Digest which regularly sounded the alarm. ___13___ “Does Tobacco Injure the Human Body?” focused on a groundbreaking study that concluded smoking was one of the very significant reasons fewer men than women attain old age. Another story called “Cancer by the Carton” contributed to a big drop in cigarette smoking.

Smoking has lost its cool factor in recent decades. ___14___ In 1922 over 65,000 tons of tobacco were sold in the UK, reaching a peak of 125, 960 tons sold in 1961. Due to growing public awareness of smoking’s harmful health effects, by 2014 that figure had dropped to 43,793 tons.

In the past decade, the rate of smokers has dropped considerably. And it’s young people in particular who are turning away from the cigarettes: 25.7 percent of 18-24 year olds smoked regularly in 2011 while in 2018 16. 8 percent did. Hear that? ___15___

A. The first story about it was published in 1924.

B. As is estimated, it dropped by almost 33 percent.

C. It’s the collective sound of lungs breathing again.

D. Attitudes to smoking have changed in the last 100 years.

E. A century ago, the attitude towards smoking was quite different.

F. More surprisingly, doctors weren’t the only ones to promote smoking.

G. The number of smokers across the country continues to steadily decline.

【答案】Dear Alex,

I’m glad to know that you’re interested in Chinese culture, especially Tang poetry. As you know, Tang poetry is a very important literary form which enjoys great popularity in China. They represent the traditional Chinese culture and are popular all over the world. As the golden age of poems, the Tang Dynasty produced many outstanding poets, among whom Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi were the most well-known in history. When it comes to poems, you’d better grasp the meaning firstly, then try to recite the whole poem. If you choose the right method and work hard, your learning ability can be improved.

Welcome to China and I’m looking forward to enjoying the Tang poems with you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The Subway Trail was named for its tunnel-shaped canyon (大峡谷).The hike there was described as “very tough”, requiring “route finding, stream crossing, and climbing over big rocks”. Nevertheless, I still decided to explore it with my friend, Jessika.

It was sunny when we set out from the trailhead (登山口) at 8 am. Halfway through our ten-mile hike, a light snow began to fall. Soon after, we entered the Subway. Standing in our way was a small pond. Because it looked shallow, we began to walk through.

However, about 1.5 metres from the edge, my front foot suddenly sank into the sandy bottom. Then I fell forward, and both legs started to sink. The mud came all the way up to both of my legs. I freed my left leg but I couldn’t move my right leg at all. Jessika handed me a long stick we’d picked up earlier. I jammed it down the side of my leg and tried to pull my leg out but failed. Jessika started removing sand with both hands, but it was refilling faster than she could pull it out. “Stop!” I shouted. “It’s quicksand! You’re wasting your energy.” Though the sinking stopped, it seemed impossible to get out.

The only phone reception was back at the trailhead, five hours away over rough areas. I told Jessika she had to hike back and call for help. She was scared — she’d only ever hiked with me and was afraid of hiking alone on such a difficult trail. But we were out of options.

Thirty minutes after she left, it started to snow heavily. I zipped up my jacket and pulled my head inside. Suddenly I fell backward. I urgently planted my stick into the dry ground and pulled myself upright. I was extremely tired. It had been about five hours since Jessika left, and it was getting dark.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1:

A few hours later, I saw a light through my jacket.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

An hour later, another light shone across my eyes.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】A few hours later, I saw a light through my jacket. I thought it was Jessika coming back. I eagerly pulled down my jacket and shouted, “Jessika, I’m here.” There was no response but dead silence. What was that? Was it real or just illusion? Some people say a dying person will see imagined things before he goes. I could feel the sand moving slowly around my waist and I was scared, really scared. The only thing I could do was to close my eys and wait and wait.

An hour later, another light shone across my eyes. “Help! Help!” I yelled. A man shouted back as he ran to me, followed by my girlfriend breathlessly. The rescuer was just in time! He threw a long rope towards me with all his might and I instantly caught one end of it. The rescuer together with Jessika started pulling me up inch by inch desperately. When they safely dragged me to the side of the canyon, the three of us sighed in relief. “Thank goodness! Thank you, brother!” I said gratefully, hugging them in my weak muddy arms.
