文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在丈夫创业的激励下,作者也开始尝试一些更令人兴奋的事情,开始自己创业,取得了很好的成果。
1 . 阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

When my husband Ash told me he was planning to turn down some perfectly good job offers and start his own business, I was surprised. I advised against it. But Ash’s mother, who had run her own business, said: “Why not give it a go?”

My mother-in-law was right. Ash started Present Model Management. He loves it: the pressure (压力) he has now is lower. Plus, he can take the kids to school if he wants.

Watching him succeed inspired me to take my own leap. After 12 years of working as a childminder, I knew that something had to change. I loved the kids, but I’d been singing “Twinkle Twinkle” for 12 years. I only became a childminder in order to be home with my own children. Now that they are more independent, I have time to try something more exciting.

I set up @family_feasts to record what our family eats: healthy, tasty meals on a sensible budget (开支). From there, I started a WordPress blog to hold the recipes (食谱). When I started sharing weekly meal plans, the feedback (反响) was amazing. That’s what people want: inspiration.

At first I wanted to teach workshops for parents. To prove that I could teach, I started a cooking class for 8-10-year-old children at my daughter’s primary school.

It sold out overnight. A year later, I have a long waiting list. It’s so meaningful to watch the kids learn: they’ve burnt and cut themselves, but they’re really starting to understand flavors.

The next thing that took off was children’s cookery birthday parties. People have booked those through word of mouth. From the strength of my blog, I’ve published recipes with the BBC and Co-op Food Magazine. My final dream is to write a family cookbook one day.

I’m so glad that Ash and I took this leap. We plan our work around the kids. We pay ourselves less than before, but we also spend more sensibly. I love the freedom of our life, the time we have together, and the excitement of building a community of kids who will be able to feed themselves.

1. What was Ash’s mother’s attitude towards his plan? (no more than 5 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
2. Why did the author want to change her job as a childminder? (no more than 10 words)

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了曼哈顿上西区的Westsider Rare & Used Books书店的故事。

2 . Westsider Rare & Used Books bookstore is a big name on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It’s the type of old shop where you can wander narrow walkways for hours while looking through towering shelves stuffed with books ranging from cheap, used copies to rare collections. The store has even been used as a setting in several films.

In January, a neighborhood resident Bobby Panza, saw the Westsider was having a going-out-of-business sale. He also read a story on a local blog in which store owner Dorian Thornley made an “off the cuff (即兴的)” remark that the store could stay open if it could raise $50,000 — “don’t see that happening, though,” Thornley mentioned at the time.

Panza, who had never formally met Thornley but had shopped at the store for a decade, started a GoFundMe campaign. In just four days, 850 people donated from $5 to thousands of dollars each and raised $54,000.

With the money, Thornley updated (更新) the store’s selection of used and rare books and reorganized the interior (内部) of the bookstore. Thornley also intended to buy advertising for his store, but the publicity from the GoFundMe campaign has helped raise awareness and helped boost (提高) Westsider’s sales by nearly 25%. Thornley has saved some of the money to ensure Westsider won’t fall behind on its rent again.

Thornley found out about the crowdfunding effort the day after it started when a customer asked whether Thornley was serious about keeping the store open for good if $50,000 could be raised. When he told her he was serious, the customer — a local writer named Sally Klingenstein Martell — donated $10,000 to get the effort off the ground. Thornley calls Martell’s significant donation “the motivator for everyone else donating”.

Whether the money will be enough to permanently save the business remains to be seen. But now that Westsider has avoided the worst, Thornley is trying to make that happen.

1. What do we know about Westsider Rare & Used Books?
A.It has sponsored several old shops.
B.It is hardly known by local residents.
C.It is decorated to look like a cinema.
D.It sells both cheap books and rare collections.
2. How did Thornley feel about raising $50,000 for his bookstore at first?
A.Hopeless.B.Ashamed.C.Confident.D.Enthusiastic.
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.A regular customer successfully organized the donation campaign.
B.Panza has been friends with the store owner for ten years.
C.Thornley wanted to transfer the possession of the bookstore at first.
D.The donation can make Westsider survive permanently.
4. What did Thornley do with the donated money?
A.He paid for his daily expenses.
B.He bought advertising for his store.
C.He rented a new place to sell books.
D.He improved customers’ shopping experience.
5. In what way was Sally’s donation significant according to Thornley?
A.It was extraordinarily generous.
B.It was done before the crowdfunding effort.
C.It excited other people’s donations.
D.It raised Thornley’s hope to open a branch store.

文章大意:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了残疾人赵红程顺利完成了大学学业并找到了一份工作,同时拍摄视频上传网络,从残疾人的角度分享她的故事,使得人们对残疾人生活和需求有了更深入的理解。

3 . Compared to most people with disabilities, Zhao Hongcheng is lucky.

Born in 1990, a wheelchair has been part of Zhao’s life since she was 1 year old due to the aftereffects of poliomyelitis(小儿麻痹症).However, it did not stop her from completing her college and graduate studies before becoming a white-collar worker in Shanghai. And now, as a video content creator who has over 84, 000 followers on the video-sharing platform Bilibili, Zhao wants to be a bridge between the disabled and the rest of society.

First attempt

“I made my first video in 2019,” Zhao says, adding that it was also the years he moved to Shanghai. “My original purpose was to find an emotional outlet. I always encountered inconvenience caused by my wheelchair when going out, which made me feel sad. However, I barely had any disabled friends, so I had no one to talk to. I felt quite lonely,” Zhao explains. In 2019, the rising popularity of short videos inspired Zhao.

Under the username Da Chengzi Hao Meimei on Bilibili, her first vlog about a trip to Guangzhou with friends was viewed more than 2, 000 times on the first day, which surprised Zhao. “This made me feel that there were many things worth sharing in my life, and it also gave me a sense of mission,” she explains. That first video has since been viewed over 48, 000times and her fourth video, displaying how she got to work in a wheelchair, made her even more popular.

Rising ambition

After her fourth video went viral, she continued to make short videos and, in 2021.became a full-time content creator on Bilibili. In her video about an accessibility bus tour in Shanghai, she put forward a piece of advice for such facilities. Fortunately, her proposal was adopted by the city and is currently being optimized. Zhao’s other videos, including a list of praise and criticism for various daily travel experiences in Shanghai, have also received wide attention.

“One of the great things about being a content creator is that I feel like I have the initiative of discourse-that is, (talking about)the real difficulties and pains that a disabled person faces,” Zhao says.

Long way to go

Zhao says education and employment are the two major hurdles for the disabled group around her. She explains that she has heard many stories about disabled people dropping out of school and that some students with good grades were rejected by their chosen universities or were persuaded to change majors. Beyond that, some people with minor disabilities, which may not affect their daily life at all, were being dismissed by companies, due to their physical examination reports reflecting their issue.

Zhao says she has developed a new perspective for her videos. “I hope to be a bridge between the wider society and the disabled. I want people to be able to truly experience the life of the disabled and to develop a greater understanding of the group,” she says.

Now Bilibili star uses her platform to promote greater understanding of the lives and needs of disabled people.

1. Why does the author say Zhao Hongcheng is lucky?
A.Because she recovered from her illness under the help of her doctor.
B.Because she won great acclaim and support from the disabled.
C.Because she successfully completed her college education and obtained a job.
D.Because her family and friends loved her very much when she was a child.
2. What’s Zhao Hongcheng’s original purpose to make her first video?
A.To find a way to express her emotion.B.To fulfill her mission to assist the disabled.
C.To arrest people’s attention.D.To obtain sympathy from society.
3. Being a content creator, what probably made her feel great?
A.Putting forward proposal to offer financial support for the disabled.
B.Helping the disabled to live optimistically on their own.
C.Sharing the her stories from the perspective of a disabled person.
D.Offering advice to the disabled to tackle their problems in their daily life.

文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章以16岁的奥斯卡·康斯坦扎和33岁的凯文·皮特的例子,讲述了Wandercraft的外骨骼能帮助残疾人更好地生活。

5 . “Robot, stand up” — Oscar Constanza, 16, gives the order, and slowly but surely a large frame (支架) lifts him up and he starts walking. Fixed to his shoulders, chest, waist, knees and feet, the exoskeleton (外骨骼) allows Oscar — who has a genetic neurological condition that means he was unable to move — to walk across the room and turn around.

“Before, I needed someone to help me walk ... this makes me feel independent,” said Oscar, as his father Jean-Louis Constanza, one of the co-founders of the company that makes the exoskeleton, looked on.

“One day Oscar said to me: ‘Dad, you’re a robotic engineer. Why don’t you make a robot that would allow us to walk?’” his father said in Paris. “Ten years from now, there will be no, or far fewer, wheelchairs,” he said.

Other companies across the world are also making exoskeletons, competing to make them as light and usable as possible. Some are focused on helping disabled people walk, others on applications, including making standing less tiring for factory workers. Wandercraft’s exoskeleton, an outer frame that supports but also simulates (模仿) body movement, has been sold to many hospitals in France, Luxembourg and the United States, for about 150,000 euros a piece. It cannot yet be bought by private individuals for everyday use — that is the next stage the company is working on. A personal skeleton would need to be much lighter, Wandercraft engineers said.

Just outside Paris, 33-year-old Kevin Piette, who lost the ability to walk in a bike accident 10 years ago, tries one on, walking around his apartment, remote controller (遥控器) in hand. “In the end, it’s quite similar: instead of having the information going from the brain to the legs, it goes from the remote controller to the legs,” he said, before making his dinner and walking with it from the kitchen to the living room.

1. What difficulty did Oscar face?
A.He didn’t get along well with his father.B.He didn’t get the right treatment.
C.He failed to invent a robot.D.He lost his ability to walk.
2. What did Oscar ask his father to do?
A.Support his dream of being an engineer.B.Help him get away from the wheelchair.
C.Stop limiting his freedom.D.Set up a robot company.
3. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Other companies.B.Exoskeletons.
C.Disabled people.D.Factory workers.
4. What can we infer about exoskeletons from paragraph 4?
A.They are affordable for most disabled people.B.They will have a big market.
C.They have reached the common family.D.They are not as useful as expected.
5. What can we infer about Kevin’s exoskeleton?
A.It is difficult to control.B.It is worse than real legs.
C.It can satisfy his daily needs.D.It helps him follow his dreams.

It was summer and I had gotten one of the few jobs a 14-year-old can find — working at Burger King, a fast-food restaurant. It ________ wasn’t a good job, but it meant money, ________was something I needed.

One day, I was working behind the front counter, taking ________. The customers were coming and going, and the woman who ________ didn’t seem any different from most others.

She ordered her meal and I told her the total. As she searched ________ her purse to find some change, the woman soon ________ that she was about a dollar short. “I’m ________ to say this, but I guess I won’t be able to make my purchase ________,” she said sadly.

That’s when I had the idea of paying the difference for her. She refused at first, but after I ________, she agreed. She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to ________ her order. I continued with my work and thought ________ more of it.

About an hour later ________ had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer. Then I glanced over towards the ________ and saw the same woman whom I’d helped with the money entering again. I ________ recognized her.

She walked straight up to me and said, “I want to thank you again for what you did. You see, I’m a diabetic (糖尿病患者), and ________ I need to eat something right away. That’s ________ I came in earlier. If you hadn’t helped me as you did, I ________ have fainted. Thank you.”

She handed me two dollars, ________ I’d given her.

________ the woman walk away, I realized that God had used me to help me. In the end, I was ________ not only with money but also with the satisfaction of knowing that I’d helped someone out of a tight spot.
