I still remember that day. Looking at the sea of people, I wanted to run off the stage. But I dived into the speech I had practiced diligently, nervous but determined to make my voice heard.

It all started with my essay in response to a radio host's slanderous comments about women's rights. After my boss refused it for publication, I submitted it to others, until finally I received a "YES!" from an online blog focused on women.

My story had thousands of views online. One of them invited me to speak at a grass-root gathering planned in Washington D.C., I agreed hastily. Then reality sunk in. I9 an unemployed writer, needed to find gainful employment, not focus on a meeting hundreds of miles away. I fought with myself? ready to reply with the reasons why I could not attend their gathering.

Still unsure of what to do, I called my kindergarten teacher. As always, her advice was what I needed. I was going to do this trip without spending a cent. I began contacting everyone I knew on the path from my house to Washington D.C, explaining that I needed a ride. I set up a website for my "Road Trip for Rights." Small donations for my trip started rolling in.

Armed only with my computer, phone and a backpack of essentials, I began my adventure. On my way, a woman who had been watching on the website pulled up. She and her daughter were heading to the gathering and went a 1long way round to pick me. After arrival, she dropped me off at my hotel, and I finally relaxed before the big day.

Upon returning to my hotel after the most amazing day? I received an envelope with my name on it. Inside were a train ticket and a note that read, "Thank you for being a voice for those of us who cannot speak w I boarded the train, grateful and exhausted.

Since then, I have been to many gatherings and marches. I will always be thankful for that radio host whose words fueled a passion in me to find my voice.

The majority of Britons are educated in state schools, making up around 60% of those admitted to Oxford and Cambridge in 2013. Admissions at other leading universities were also weighted towards teenagers educated privately.

Then began a quiet revolution. The number of state-schooled pupils getting Oxbridge places has risen yearly; the number from private schools has fallen. The Russell Group of 24 leading universities says its members aim to admit more students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

A few things lie behind this change. The government has given cash to universities to reach underrepresented students and, since 2018, required them to publish plans showing how they are doing this. One report in 2018 showed that eight schools, six of which were private, accounted for more Oxbridge places than 2,900 other secondary schools combined.

Teach First, a scheme that sends clever graduates into tough schools for a couple of years, has also helped raise pupils, eagerness. It began in London, where the highest- performing state schools are concentrated.

All this has fueled a joint effort by schools and universities to make pupils consider the distinguished universities. For those state-school kids getting into top universities, extra help is needed. "You need to provide extra tutoring in the first year," says Professor Smith from Oxford who made efforts to admit state- school students before it became fashionable. She says they often do worse in exams at the end of the first year, but clean up in final exams.

That would seem to rebut one of the criticisms made of universities5 efforts to correct the state-private imbalance: that 1etting in more state-school students means standards will slip. "If you bring in people with diverse experiences and ways of thinking, who challenge one another's assumptions, it promotes intellectual creativity and academic success," says Helen, the principal of Mansfield College, Oxford.

"All this adds up to an important change," says Lawrence. "Increasing numbers of state-school children are applying to universities in America and getting full scholarships.

8. What was the quiet revolution?

A. Admitting more poor students into top universities.

B. Getting state schools to cooperate with top universities.

C. Letting 1ess private-school students into universities.

D. Having private schools take poor-background students.

9. What is implied in the 2018 report?

A. State schools should promote their students' academic reports.

B. Oxford and Cambridge preferred graduates from private schools.

C. Students in Oxbridge place high standard for their aims in life.

D. Oxbridge had a stricter admission standard than other universities.

10. What can we infer about state-school students from Professor Smith's words?

A. They get academic help from Teach First.

B. They become top students in a few years.

C. They need extra tutoring in the first term.

D. They are inspirations for other students.

11.What does the underlined word "rebut" mean in paragraph 6?

A. Support.

B. Expose.

C. Improve.

D. Oppose.

D

One late winter day in Manchester, UK, as I step inside the University of Salford's latest research building, the cold 3°C air bites immediately. In fact, it's a giant climate- controlled room, designed to test how homes built today will cope with the wilder weather climate change could bring.

Inside the f16-million room, researchers can create any weather they want with the touch of a button, from-20°C cold to 40°C heatwaves, alongside strong winds, snow and ice. Anywhere people live, we can recreate those conditions., says Fitton, who 1eads the Energy House 2.0 project for the university.

Inside the building are two new-build homes, complete with brickwork and pot plants. Both are equipped with cutting-edge green technology) like electric vehicle charging points, and will act as test beds to build greener homes in the UK. In 2025, the Future Homes Standard (FHS) will require all new homes to be built without gas central heating and with other green measures. Homes built to the FHS must deliver a 75% to 80% reduction in carbon emissions? compared with homes built today.

That is why Bellway, partnering with the project, has built the rooms from its Coppersmith range of homes inside the Energy House 2.0. Yet clearly this is no ordinary new-build. For one thing, packed inside are three different heating systems: two air source heat pumps? plus panel heaters dotted around the walls and ceilings. There's also a solar power input, a battery and a smart hot water tank that heats water using solar generation.

Over the coming months, Bellway will test different combinations of these technologies to find the most cost-effective way of meeting the FHS regulations.

Financially, things are promising: Based on energy-performance calculations, Bellway says its Future Home could have energy bills of just £11 a year.

Energy House 2. 0 will let researchers see how houses perform in the UK's future climate. "We can cycle through the climate change predictions 50 years into the future and see if we have any problems says Fitton.

12. What's the aim of building the f16-million room?

A. To predict the extreme weather humans will face.

B. To test how long a house stands in extreme weather.

C. To find a way for homes to deal with climate change.

D. To explore the most habitable homes for humans.

13. Why does Bellway cooperate with the project?

A. To design green houses to meet the standards of FHS.

B. To explore the household use of advanced technology.

C. To sponsor the Energy House 2.0 for market profit.

D. To popularize its Coppersmith range of future homes.

14. Where will Energy House 2.0 research go?

A. It’ll explore the use of cutting-edge technology.

B. It’ll find how houses tackle future climate changes.

C. It’ll make future houses have zero carbon emission.

D.It511 spread Coppersmith range all over the country.

15.What is a suitable title for the text?

A. Energy-Saving House Designs Put to the Test

B. The Expensive Room Holding Future Hopes

C. The Leading Place of the UK in Home Designs

D. Research into Homes for Future Climate Change

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My baby Reese started screaming and I struggled to hold him in my arms as we pushed our way through the crowd to the side of the taekwondo (跆拳道) studio, where I would send my boy for the training.

I looked up, and that5s when I saw the photo on a poster, a woman with a bright white smile surrounded by her daughters. "OUR MOM NEEDS A KIDNEY(肾脏), " it said above the photo. "My name is Vonchelle Knight, and I have polycystic kidney disease," it said below. "I am a single mother of two girls and have been on the transplant waitlist for eight years.

As I continued to read, I thought about how desperately this momma needed a kidney. And then the idea struck me. I wanted to donate my kidney to the woman whom I had never met.

On the drive home, I told my husband I wanted to donate my kidney to a stranger. By the look on his face, he clearly thought I had lost my mind. I was a busy mom of two boys working a full-time job as a sales account manager. I had a calendar filled with sporting events, group fitness and volunteer church hours.

“Where is this coming from?" he asked. I was excited and slightly terrified as I explained the poster. I told him I wanted to at 1east call Vonchelle's nurse and get more information.

Several weeks later, the results were in. We were a perfect match! The nervous excitement filled my body. Thoughts swirled in my head as I realized I had the ability to give this momma a new lease on life. Vonchelle had already waited eight years and obviously didn't have any family members who could donate.

I told my husband that the doctor could do the transplant on January twenty-fifth. His eyes filled with tears as he stared at me and nodded. Vonchelle's daughter worked at my son's taekwondo studio, so I shared the news with her.

One day before the donation, the doctors scheduled me to meet Vonchelle.

注意:

1续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As she walked through the door of the meeting room, I walked up to her, my heart beating wildly.

After the successful transplant, Vonchelle was recovering well.
