Mr Doyle strolled into our classroom — all limbs and high-end literature. And from the moment he opened his mouth, he started opening our minds.
We were a bunch of awkward twelve-year-old’s — in our first year of secondary school at JannaliBoys’ High in Sydney’s south. To say that JBHS wasn’t well-known for its attachment to academia would be an understatement (轻描淡写). To say it celebrated the arts over sport or humanities over science would be a flat-out lie. But in the grand tradition of all good public high schools, if you wanted to learn, there was opportunity. You just had to dodge (躲开) the fruit fights at lunch time to find it.
Mr Doyle was our English teacher and ‘The Wind In ‘The Willows’ was our text. While other English teachers would read each chapter out loud — their monotone barely penetrating (穿透) the heaviness of a Sydney summer afternoon — Mr Doyle would act out every part. Mole, Ratty, Badger and Mr Toad all came vividly to life in that little classroom. The words sprang off the page, the music of language was given life. And a lifelong love affair with books took root.
One afternoon, for no apparent reason, Mr Doyle marched us out onto the oval. Confused but excited, we lay down on the grass and stared up at the sky while Mr Doyle recited poetry. It was all very Dead Poets Society.
Then, after term one school holidays, we all came back to discover Mr Doyle had disappeared. Weeks later, he appeared in Pizza Hut commercial, and months after that, he starred in the Bodyline mini-series. We were all star struck. Knowing someone who was on the telly was the height of amazing back then.
I met up with Mr Doyle twelve years later. I had gone on to become a young journalist and he had gone on to become an admired and wildly-successful radio and TV broadcaster — better known to the country as Rampaging Roy Slaven.
John Doyle, you were #theteacherthatshapedme and I salute you.

It's amazing how often we take advantage of things in life. When we're used to something, we don't always appreciate how lucky we are to have it. While we're here complaining that our WiFi isn't fast enough and our videos keep buffering (卡顿), there are people in Africa who don't even get to eat three meals a day. While most people work hard for the things they own, it's important to stop and think of what others don't have every now and again. You may not think that shoes are something worth going crazy over, but the Uganda woman would disagree. After all, she went wild when she put a pair on for the first time in her life.
That's what Laura Grier did one day. The woman was in Bwindi National Park, Uganda, when she felt it necessary to stop and help someone by the side of the road. The person in question was standing around without any shoes on, and the sight convinced Grier to give up her own footwear. She had more shoes at home, while this woman had never even worn a pair before.
Laura's generosity was definitely appreciated by the stranger who treated her benefactor (恩人) to a celebratory dance. The woman couldn't keep the smile from her face as she went wild in her brand-new shoes. Grier was thrilled that her good deed had made the stranger so happy, and she cheered on the Ugandan woman as she danced in the street.
The next time you buy a pair of shoes, remember how lucky you are to have them.
5．What does the author talk about in the first paragraph?
A．Her view about what we have. B．Something that we are used to.

A．Never Expect Too Much of Life B．Don't Admire What Others Have.
C．Value What We Already Have. D．Know More About Africa.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we dreamt of indoor dining, vacations ,and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living in Brazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms (规范).
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural differences.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for our communities and the people we love.
9．Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?
A．Adjustment. B．Disturbance. C．Commitment. D．Preference.
10．What can we learn about Ana from Paragraph 2?
A．She is good at educating other people.
B．She enjoys the close contact with others.
C．She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
D．It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
11．Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms?
A．Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B．Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C．Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D．Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
12．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My Attitude towards Friendship B．A Valuable Lesson in the Pandemic
C．The Influence of COVID-19 on Life D．My Acceptance of Cultural Differences
At a restaurant, a cockroach(蟑螂) suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to throw away the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their dramatic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.
I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

A．Escape from the restaurant . B．Sip her coffee.
C．Get rid of the cockroach. D．Rush to the waiter.

15．What disturbed the lady according to the author?

C．Always be ready to help others.
D．Your reaction to the problem determines how you feel.
Born in Hungary,Katalin Kariko always wanted to be a scientist when she was young. Her love of biology took her to the University of Szeged where she studied and then worked as a researcher at its Biological Research Center. Unfortunately, in 1985, Dr.Kariko’s university’s research program ran out of money. Kariko, her husband, and their 2-year-old daughter moved to America for her new job that could make her go on with her research at university in Philadelphia, America.
Kariko has spent her whole life trying to figure out how to use a person’s own cells to cure and prevent illness. She focused on mRNA,or messenger RNA, which could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines(疫苗). In the 1990’s, Kariko tried to get money from big companies to do her experiments.No one would do that because her ideas about mRNA were too unbelievable at the time. “I thought maybe I’m not good enough, not smart enough.

Fortunately, a meeting at a university photocopying machine changed her life. She met another researcher, Dr.Drew Weissman. She told him, “I am an mRNA scientist—I can make anything with mRNA．” Weissman told her he just wanted to make vaccines against HIV. Kariko said, “Yeah, yeah, I can do it.” After that, they worked together for many years exploring the possibilities of mRNA, which led to the development of a vaccine for COVID-19.
Finally, two biotech companies, Moderna, in America, and BioNTech, in Germany, took notice of their work. The two companies provided money to support Weissman’s lab.
Now, Kariko and Weissman are considered as heroes of COVID-19 vaccine development.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a name that every lover of English literature will always remember and cherish. He is the pen father of the extraordinary detective Sherlock Holmes and a number of detective stories.
Arthur chose to go to medical field and become a surgeon from the University of Edinburgh, and this is the place where Arthur met a person who influenced him to become a writer. It was one of his teachers Dr. Joseph Bell who was master at observation, logic, detection and diagnosis. All these qualities were later found in the character of the celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes.
1888 was a significant year that rocketed Doyle to fame with his novel which was named as “A Study in Scarlet” in which he introduced his two immortal characters—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story “The Sign of Four” was instrumental in establishing Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle in literature. The writer tried to open a practice in Paris but not a single patient came to him, which proved to be a blessing in disguise. It gave him a lot of time to think. And it was here that he met an illustrator named Sydney Paget who created the image of Sherlock Holmes which captured the minds of the readers and made the detective famous all over.
Doyle’s next creation was the delightfully violent Professor Challenger. “The Lost World” which involved Professor Challenger was an immediate success. Finally, because of his wife’s illness, Doyle decided to devote his life to his previous work rather than writing. This was the time when he decided to end the stories of Sherlock Holmes, which he did in “The Final Problem”.
The great Arthur Conan Doyle died at the age of 71 in 1930. He has left a legacy (遗产) to last us a lifetime and is still alive through his books and stories.

Our English literature teacher Miss Linda was new to teaching. But she always did her best to make learning fun and pleasant. But the thing that truly solidified her spot as my favorite teacher was that for every student’s birthday she would give us a personalized notebook.
It was just a simple small notebook, but she had filled the first page with her own words which made me realize how good a person I was. As a teenager who had a terrible home life, it made all the difference in how I acted the rest of the year.
In a session of English class, we were discussing a passage we had read. One student Jack made a point. Miss Linda basically said Jack was wrong. The next day, after we took our seats, she said, “Before we begin, I was thinking about what Jack said yesterday. Let’s take a look at that again. My knowledge is limited in this field where you are definitely better than me.” She repeated Jack’s point and encouraged discussions among students. After the discussions, it became apparent that Jack’s point really held water. I was impressed by Miss Linda who acknowledged her mistake publicly.
After class, I had to purchase some red punch cards to get lunch at school. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that much money to purchase enough cards. Miss Linda noticed I often skipped meals and brought an extra sandwich to me in private. She not only offered me the food which I desperately needed, but also the self-respect which I valued as a teenage boy. Also, she never criticized any students in public, which really made her popular among students.

B．Students’ advantages.

Liz Murray grew up in the Bronx, New York City, with drug-addicted parents who sometimes sold household (家用的) items in order to get their fix. As a child, Murray hated school because when she did go, she was teased as an oddball (怪人) by other students.
As Murray grew older, her parents lost their apartment. Her mother, who suffered from AIDS, became increasingly ill and was sent to hospital, while her father struggled from shelter to shelter. Rather than submit to the dehumanization (非人性化) and sadness that had characterized her brief experience in childhood, Murray chose to look after herself.
When Murray was 16, her mother died, which was a big shock to her and caused her to question where her life was going. With an eighth-grade education, Murray decided that, as she said, “Life rewards action. I was going to go out there and… have action in my life every day.”
After Murray was admitted to an alternative high school, she took a double course load and completed high school in only two years. The school took its top 10 students, including Murray, on a trip to Boston, where the group walked through Harvard Yard. Later, she was admitted to Harvard with scholarship and graduated in 2009. During this period, her father also passed away due to AIDS.
Along the way, Murray began to tell her story through writing and public speaking. Her tale was adapted by Lifetime Television in the 2003 film “Homeless to Harvard: the Liz Murray Story.” She is also an enthusiastic writer whose the best-selling memoir(回忆录), “Breaking Night,” was published in 2010. Now a member of the Washington Speakers’ Bureau, Murray has found she has a skill for sharing her insights with audiences across the country, and she has founded a company, Manifest Living, which works to enable adults to create extraordinary things in their lives.
In all she does, Murray shows ambition - not only to achieve material goals and accomplishments, but more importantly, to overcome great difficulties and achieve the very best she can.
Ambition. Pass It On!
29．Which of the following best explains the phrase “get their fix” in Para. 1?

B．Murray doesn’t possess talent for sharing insights with audiences.

As I had grown up in Belgium, going to university in the UK made me feel lost and lonely. Although I was struggling, I felt unable to share how I was feeling with anyone and didn’t know where I could turn for support.
Things were getting harder and harder, and one day I was on my way back to university when I had a sudden thought that ending my life would be a way out. I was in my own world when a lady standing nearby came up for me and said: “Are you waiting for a train? Are you OK?”
Although I didn’t say much back to her, the little conversation was all it took to interrupt my thoughts of ending life. I got the next train back to university. The small talk was a wake-up call and made me realize it’s OK to reach out for help. I spoke to my university and they provided me with a teacher to help. I also shared my feelings with my loved ones. By seeking some timely and useful help and being honest about what I was feeling, I created a strong support network that I could lean on when I needed to.
When I started working at Network Rail in 2012, I heard that Samaritans provided training for staff working in the rail industry on identifying and helping people who may be vulnerable. Instantly, I knew I had to sign up. I wanted to turn my experience into something useful and positive, and to equip myself to help others who might be feeling like I did back then. The training was fantastic and interestingly shone a light on the fact that everyone has the skills to save a life.
So, if you ever notice someone who you think might be struggling, try talking to them. You already have everything you need to save a life. Take it from me, starting a conversation can be all that it takes.
33．How did the author feel when studying in the UK?
A．Unadaptable. B．Generous. C．Worthwhile. D．Appealing.
34．What can we infer about the author from the third paragraph?
A．He benefited little from the conversation with a lady.
B．He learned to bravely go to others for assistance.
C．He helped the mentor to create a network.
D．He still dealt with problems on his own.
35．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean?
A．Bad-tempered. B．Easy-going. C．Warm-hearted. D．Easily-broken.
36．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A．It’s rewarding to help others in need.
B．Helping others needs no skills at all.
C．A small talk can make a big difference.
D．Where there is a will, there is a way.
Dozens of sea turtles swim past as I dive. Suddenly a diver cuts me off. Then another. “Hey!” I think. “Watch where you’re going!” Then I realize: These aren’t divers. They are sea lions! The creatures blow bubbles at me and the group of 11 kids I’m on vocations with, hitting us slightly on our backs. To not bother them much, we tear ourselves away from the wonderland.
We take this trip to the Galapagos Islands, a group of tropical islands crossing the equator. Our hotel is a boat called the Eclipse that has a pool. Humans aren’t allowed to live on most of the islands. The only way people can experience the magic of this place and meet animals on all the islands is by “panga”. “Our small motorboat is more important than the Eclipse. It’s very safe,” says a local guide, Fielsch. Lack of human threat makes the animals friendly. “They don’t know enough to be scared of humans.” Our group experience that firsthand. When we return after our diving adventure, we find sea lions lying next to our backpacks! Walking along the sand, we see more wildlife: seals, red crabs, orcas.
The following morning, we reach Fernandina Island, known for its volcano. Flightless birds called cormorants build nests on the rocks. Nearby are Galapagos penguins. Averaging about 19 inches in height, they’re the second smallest species of penguin in the world. “The Galapagos are so curious,” says 12-year-old Harry. “You’ve got penguins living far from the frozen South Pole, and birds that don’t fly!”
As we ride back, six penguins stand like soldiers, seeming to say goodbye. It’s our last day; none of us wants to leave this place. We know this trip has been a milestone for us. A marked shift in our attitudes towards the natural world is underway. “The Galapagos Islands seem to break the world’s rules,” says Harry. “More than ever, I’m interested in saving the environment. These animals truly need our care,” his sister Hannah adds.
37．How does the author find the diving experience?
A．Attractive. B．Disturbing.
C．Dangerous. D．Valuable.
38．What’s the function of “panga”?
A．To protect people from danger.
B．To provide a shelter for local people.
C．To guide people in seeing the animals.
D．To transport people to each of the islands.
39．What’s special about Galapagos penguins?
A．They are not able to fly.
B．They remain hidden from view.
C．They live in a tropical climate.
D．They’re the smallest of their kind.
40．Why is the trip considered a milestone for the author’s group?
A．It expands their knowledge of the world.
B．It changes the way they think about nature.
C．It inspires them to protect the environment.
D．It enables them to interact with various wildlife.
