The English Experience challenges students while building their confidence in English and many other skills that are useful inside and outside the classroom.At the beginning of each week，students are put into small groups and given a complex problem to work through to find a solution and present it in their chosen way.Teachers are there to guide the students，which is why class sizes are 12 at most.
In the afternoons，students choose an elective（选修科目） to follow for 6 hours per week.These include such courses as news reporting，presentation skills，a Mini UN，and creative writing.Extra electives such as professional golf，tennis，and football coaching，as well as horse riding and exam preparation，lead to an additional cost.
Students go on two full-day excursions（短途旅行） per week.Mid-week excursions are planned around that week's topic，so on the environmental week we go to a local environmental activity centre，while the theatre week involves a trip to a West End show with a drama workshop.Saturday excursions are more relaxed but still engaging，and include set time for shopping.Sunday excursions are shorter but also include an entrance to a local attraction.

Jonathan，a Seychelles giant tortoise（巨龟） living on the island of Saint Helena，turned 190 years old.The event was celebrated with a big party ，which included a special salad cake.
Nobody knows for sure how old Jonathan is.But in 1882，he was brought from the Seychelles as a gift to Sir William Grey-Wilson，who lived in Saint Helena.Pictures taken around that time show that Jonathan was already full-grown.Since it takes about 50 years for Seychelles giant tortoises to become adults，animal experts say Jonathan must have been born around 1832.To help keep things straight，Saint Helena's current governor（管理者），Nigel Phillips，gave Jonathan the official birthday of December 4，1832.That's earned him the Guinness World Record for the world's oldest land animal.
In 1890，William became the governor of Saint Helena.He brought Jonathan along with him to live at the governor's home，Plantation House.Since then，over 30 other governors have come and gone from Plantation House.But Jonathan has remained.Currently，another three are staying there with him.Jonathan is a local star.For his birthday，he's now being honored on a series of stamps.Saint Helena held a three-day party.People were invited to Plantation House to visit him.People made him a special salad cake to celebrate.
Jonathan was born before the Internet，computers，TVs，radios，telephones，or light bulbs ever existed.There weren't even typewriters，electric motors，or photographs.Forty different presidents have led the US since he was born.Jonathan was born before global warming began and before plastic was ever invented.
Though Jonathan is still very active，he's blind，and he can no longer smell things.Now he needs to be fed by hand.But he eats lots of vegetables and fruits，including carrots，apples and bananas.His sense of hearing is also still strong.He recognizes the voice of Joe Hollins，who looks after him，and gives responses to it.

Canada's western provinces are being hit hard by wildfires.Alberta has been hit especially hard.Heavy smoke from the fires has spread far beyond the region.
Alberta has been fighting wildfires for several weeks.Nearby British Columbia and Saskatchewan have also been seriously hit by wildfires.So far，the wildfires in Alberta have burned 8，420 square kilometers of
land.Currently，77 wildfires are still burning in Alberta，and 23 of the fires are considered out of control.That's better than last week.In British Columbia，89 fires are burning ，and 22 are out of control.In British Columbia，about 1，350 square kilometers of land have been burned.Around 2，500 fire fighters have been working to bring the fires under control.
In Alberta，the wildfires have made over 29，000 people homeless.People have also been forced to evacuate in British Columbia and Saskatchewan.The fires have created so much smoke that it can be seen from space.The air quality across northwest Canada has been described as Very High Risk.The smoke is even affecting the air quality in several states in the United States.The wildfires have also caused problems for a number of oil and gas companies in Canada.Alberta is famous for producing oil and gas.Many oil companies have been forced to shut down.
Wildfires aren't unusual in western Canada.But generally，the wildfire season begins later in the year.The early fires this year have been made much worse by extremely hot and dry weather.For most of May，a high-pressure
weather system has been bringing record temperatures to the area.Many locations in Alberta have never seen higher temperatures than they have this year.The high temperature in Alberta on Sunday was 32.8℃.

Watching a huge robotic arm pour layers of concrete（混凝土层） might not sound that exciting.But videos of this process，known as 3 D printing，are getting tens of millions of views on social media.They're giving people a world in which affordable 3 D-printed houses are the new normal.
Aiman Hussein is director of printing technologies at Alquist.Hussein's most-watched posts show the company's printers layering row after row of concrete to build up a house's outer walls.Hussein started making the videos and posting them to document what Alquist is doing.But he soon realized something.They were talking about 3 D-printing industry with people online.Watching them is"so satisfying，"he says.
In December 2021，a Virginia family moved into a 3 D-printed house.Alquist had built it for Habitat for Humanity's homebuyer program.Zachary Mannheimer，Alquist's founder and CEO，says 3 D-printed homes cost less than homes made with wood."Since the Habitat for Humanity home was completed，" he said last spring，" we've been averaging anywhere between 25 and 50 requests for 3 D-printed homes per hour.At the moment ，there're fewer than 10 companies using this technology in America.To really solve the affordable-housing crisis，we'd need more like 50."
Ryan Smith is director of the School of Architecture at the University of Arizona.He agrees that 3 D printing could transform the construction industry.But he warns that American labor and supply chains for home-building are set
up to handle wood，not concrete."If you change the methods of construction，" Smith says，"you would have to develop a whole workforce around that，to be able to manage it." Affordable 3 D-printed homes aren't going mainstream（主流） anytime soon.But getting people interested may be the first step.Hussein's videos " unlock your imagination for what else is possible，"Mannheimer says."We can excite a whole new generation about building things with computers and machines instead of shovels（铲车）."
12.What's Hussein's initial purpose of making the videos？______
A. To show the 3 D-printers online.
B. To sell the 3 D-printed houses.
C. To record the company's work.

A. Unclear.
B. Positive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Uncaring.
14.Which does Smith probably agree with about 3 D-printed homes？______
A. Alquist must reduce their costs.
B. US concrete can't meet their needs.
C. There're enough engineers for them.
D. America isn't ready for them yet.
15.What is the best title for the text？______

Albert was a warm-hearted man.He promised the woman，"All right，I'll take care of her."The woman thanked him and left without telling Albert her name.
However，when it was getting dark，the woman didn't come back.He got worried and Meg started crying.Soon，Albert calmed down and said to Meg，"I'm afraid your mother got lost.But I'll do my best to find her.Just trust me.What's your mom's name？I'll ask the police for help."
But Meg was too young to pronounce her mom's full name，and Albert guessed her mom's name could be Candy D'Cruz.Then Albert asked Meg to take him to her home to find something useful to help find her mom.Moments later，Meg led Albert to a tent under a bridge not far from the park."This is our home，" she
pointed.Immediately，Albert realized Meg and her mom were homeless.
The police told him they didn't find Candy D'Cruz.From that time on，Albert brought Meg to the park every day，hoping her mom could come for her.A month passed，and Albert almost lost hope of finding Meg's mother.But one day，they were on the way to the park when Meg pointed a picture on a billboard（广告牌） for lost
people，shouting，"There…That's my mommy!"The words on the billboard read，"Do You Know Me？I'm in City Hospital.Please Call This Number…" next to the name "Cadence Delacruz".Albert learnt Meg's mom's real name was Cadence，not Candy。

but we had support from nurses working with Cancer Charity Clic Sargent（这是一段艰难的时期，但我们得到了癌症慈善机构Clic Sargent的护士们的支持），可知表示"我和丈夫非常感谢他们的支持"的选项E可以承接前文，作者和丈夫非常感谢癌症慈善机构Clic Sargent的护士们在这一段艰难的时期给予他们的支持，故选E。

（5）推理判断题。

根据前句It was hard to be around the children who were going through the hardest times，
but we really wanted to give back to the charity（与经历最艰难时期的孩子们在一起很难，但我们真的很想回馈慈善机构）；以及后句Now，
we enjoy being able to bring a little light to a dark time for these anxious families，especially at Christmas（现在，我们很享受能够为这些焦虑的家庭带来一点光明，尤其是在圣诞节），可知表示"因此，我们尽一切努力帮助在医院有生病孩子的家庭"的选项F可以起到承前启后的作用，介绍作者夫妻为帮助这些患儿家庭做的事，故选F。

这是一篇记叙文。

作者叙述了了他们夫妻为了回报帮助过他们的人，在孩子去世以后，尽力帮助有患儿家庭的故事。
