5 . Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.

Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”

The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.

Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.

His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.

He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.”

1. What do we know about Noah?

2. What are included in Noah’s app?

A．Advertisements.	B．Pieces of world news.
C．Suggestions for memorizing words.	D．Ways of writing Chinese characters.

3. What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation?

A．Look for a job.	B．Attend university.
C．Develop a new app.	D．Learn more languages.

4. Which of the following can best describe Noah?

A．Curious and creative.	B．Humorous and honest.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。

Growing up, I’ve always been compared to my mother in appearance, personality and for my caring nature. It’s my favorite praise because my mom is the most influential woman in my life. The world has considered healthcare workers as modern heroes, which is a truly deserved title, but my mom proved her hero status to me years ago.

My mother worked as a registered nurse at Temple University Hospital. Recently, she was offered a position in Temple’s cardiac intensive care unit. During the past two years of the pandemic, my mom has been consumed with work as a nurse at Temple University Hospital, caring for hundreds of COVID-19 patients. She contracted the virus twice, resulting in the loss of her taste and smell. Although her work can be an emotional rollercoaster (过山车), she never faltered in her desire to help people.

Before working as a nurse, when I was four and my sister was two years old, my mom was a stay-at-home mom. She often got her hands full at home and began a part-time cashier position at Toys “R” Us, but she knew she had a more fulfilling career path ahead of her. She was driven by her passion to help people and enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia in January 2009 to complete an associate degree in Culture, Science, and Technology.

As young kids, my sister and I tended to get in the way of my mom’s schoolwork, often distracting her by making messes around the house and constantly yelling out her name. Still, we sometimes managed to help her.

During the holidays, our house was decorated with Christmas-themed stuffed animals (动物玩偶) on our couch. One day, my sister and I saw my mom talking to them and we thought she looked silly, so I asked her what she was talking about. She said she was giving the stuffed animals an important presentation because she was anxious about doing it in front of her classmates.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Needing to be involved, I ran upstairs and grabbed my favorite stuffed animals.

One day when I was seven, my mother decided to apply for nursing degree.
