The French Woods Music Camp is one of the finest non-competitive, comprehensive summer camps in the
United States. Kids who are enthusiastic about music（aged from 7 to 17 years old）are given instruction on all
levels and perform in ensembles（合唱）based on their age, ability and schedule.
Working conductors and musicians are at the heart of the professional faculty for the Summer Music Camp at
French Woods. The counselor staff consists of music students and young music professionals.
Unlike other music camps, French Woods doesn’t require campers to audition（试听）before the summer.
Students at all skill levels are welcome to French Woods and will gain from the summer experience.
Both group and individual private lessons are available from the staff for all orchestral instruments, piano,
drums, voice and guitar.
French Woods encourages a cooperative environment between music campers. With this spirit, French
Woods’ classical symphony is able to perform a concert within two weeks from the start of camp. Other youth
orchestras normally take months to be ready to perform.
Besides our youth symphony we have concert bands, a jazz program, and a great rock and roll camp. The
Rock & Roll Camp has five rehearsal studios and a 36-track professional recording studio. Instead of just doing
covers of other groups, the bands at French Woods are encouraged to create their own songs. Most rock campers
leave with a professional level CD of their work for the summer.
The summer isn’t just about music. The campers have plenty of time each day to try the other activities at the
camp like water sports, skateboarding, horseback riding and the theater camp.
Please give us a call（800 634-1703）to arrange a visit to the camp grounds or to talk to the camp executive

Dear Editor,
I have been meaning to write this letter for a while now. But somehow, I find myself writing it today, an hour
and 17 minutes away from my 20th birthday. That will be the moment I cannot submit any further work to Teen
Ink, and I wanted to say thank you.
Years ago, I was looking for an outlet, a place to store and share my writing, and I came across Teen Ink. At
the time, I was a freshman in love, and Teen Ink was just what I needed. Shortly after registering, I shared my first
piece titled “Winter Lovers”. I have grown so much since then. Teen Ink knew things about me before anyone else
did. I came out here first.
I wrote of loves lost that no one knew started. I suffered, I cried. I laughed. I loved. Teen Ink was always here,
a place to scream on the Internet about anything and nothing. In total, this will be my 24th post; they are truly a
time line of me.
I am going to miss this place so much. It feels as if I am letting go of my last piece of childhood, and man,
growing up is hard. In the past few days, I have been thinking about the fact that I will stop being a teenager. I will
soon fully be an adult, and it’s a hard feeling. It’s many friends gone. It’s family aging. It’s cousins getting married.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter filled with unknowns.
All of you—the staff, the writers, the readers, the sponsors—you were with me as I grew up. You got to see it
in all of its ugly glory. Without you, the Lord only knows if I would have made it. Like all good things, this must
unfortunately, come to an end. Good-bye Teen Ink. I will miss you.
Aaron Lee

B. he will face all kinds of uncertainties

Many people view cities largely in negative terms—as crowded, dirty, unhealthy environments that are
breeding（繁殖）grounds for disease and crime. People fear that as cities get bigger, living conditions will get
worse. To a growing number of economists, urban planners, and environmentalists, urbanization is good news.
Many planners now believe big cities offer a solution to dealing with the problem of Earth’s growing population.
Harvard economist Edward Glaeser is one person who believes that cities bring largely positive benefits.
Glaeser’s optimism is reflected in the title of his book The Triumph of the City. Glaeser argues that poor people
flock to cities because that’s usually where the money is. Cities are productive because of “the absence of space
between people”, which reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has
always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities attract and
reward smart people with higher wages, and they enable people to learn from one another. In the trading floor of
the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, employees work in one open, crowded space sharing information.
“They value knowledge over space. That’s what the modern city is all about.”
Another champion of urbanization is environmentalist Stewart Brand. From an ecological perspective, says
Brand, moving people out of cities would be disastrous. Because cities are dense, they allow half of the world’s
population to live on about four percent of the land, leaving more space for open country, such as farmland. People
living in cities also have less impact per capita（人均）on the environment. Their roads, sewers（下水道）, and
power lines are shorter and require fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to
heat, cool, and light than larger houses in suburbs and rural areas. Most importantly, people living in dense cities
drive less. They can walk to many destinations, and public transportation is practical because enough people travel
regularly to the same places. As a result, dense cities tend to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions per person
than scattered, sprawling suburbs.
Despite the negative aspects such as pollution and serious problems like urban slums, it is a mistake to see
urbanization as evil; instead, we should view it as an inevitable part of development. Rapid growth itself is not the
real problem—the larger issue is how to manage the growth.
28. Why does the author mention the New York Stock Exchange in Paragraph 2?
A. To indicate the space there is valuable.
B. To show how goods can be exchanged.
C. To illustrate the importance of information flow.
D. To describe what a modern city should look like.
29. The underlined word “champion” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to a person who ________.
A. advocates something B. challenges something
C. achieves something D. protects something
30. Stewart Brand believes that ________.
A. urbanization would be more disastrous
B. life in cities is more economical than in rural areas
C. public transportation consumes more energy in cities
D. people living in rural areas have less impact on the environment
31. How does the author support Stewart Brand’s idea in Paragraph 3?
A. By quoting authorities. B. By making comparisons.
C. By analysing the causes. D. By criticizing opposing views.
D
The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself.
Actually, there are several professional industries where the female to male ratio（比例）is still nowhere close to
equal. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed（偏向……的）, even in domains
which do not conventionally involve laborious work. The tech industry is a case in point, with the workforce
imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list.
Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand, and women around the world are increasingly assuming
important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector. These women are driving technological change and
innovation which impact the industry at large.
Gender diversity, like diversity in general, is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a
company. These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall
operations for the success of the business. This is especially true for technologies such as AI. The effects of
personal biases on AI can tilt（使……倾斜）the results and, thus, they require a number of inputs and caution on
the team’s part, to be able to produce accurate solutions based on diverse and inclusive data.
According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development,
Government of India, women were at or near parity（对等）among undergraduate degrees in science IT and
computer. Most women equal men when it comes to skills, but face discrimination in other areas, thus creating a
gap and reducing the will to continue at the company.
According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving,
followed by poor management. There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces, which is a major obstacle
when it comes to retaining women employees. In order to retain this talent and hi re more talent like this,
governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further
by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.
More and more women across the world are interested in pursuing tech careers or maintaining their existing
ones. There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM（Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Maths）with opportunities that are both fair and equal. Given the computer-driven nature of AI, there is a need for
women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate
representation. Thus, an inclusive and diverse workforce, combined with better HR policies will retain and draw in
more women. This, in turn, will help the entire tech industry to develop a more comprehensive, empathetic（感同
身受的）way of operations, which
will undoubtedly influence the future socio-cultural thread driven by products and services developed by them.
32. From the first paragraph we know that ________.
A. gender balance problem remains to be solved
B. laborious work demands more gender balance
C. not all industries have gender balance problem
D. gender balance problem has been more serious
33. Women employees are reported to leave their jobs mainly because of ________.
A. unsatisfying income B. unfair treatment
C. competitive workplace D. poor management
34. Which of the following can help to retain and attract more women?
A. encouraging women to take up all kinds of roles
B. treating women employees more kindly than to men employees
C. offering women diverse work choices and decision-making opportunities
D. providing a tolerant working environment combined with favorable welfare
35. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To appeal to women to protect their proper rights
B. To present the fact of gender bias in the tech industry
C. To call for more women representation in the tech industry
D. To teach the tech industry how to get rid of gender bias

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。
Melody of Self-Discovery
Sitting at the grand piano, Sarah was picturing her first piano performance in her mind, only to find herself lost
in thought. The annoying doubt again crept into her mind. She just couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty that
lingered within her. What had driven her to take up piano lessons in the first place? Was it simply a short-lived
urge, or had she harbored a deeper passion for music all along?
As her fingers idly traced the keys, Sarah reflected on her journey thus far. She remembered the excitement
she felt when she first sat down at the piano, the thrill of producing her first few notes. But as the weeks passed and
the lessons grew more challenging, doubts began to seep into her mind like cracks in a dam.
“Sarah, do you have a clear goal in mind?” Mrs. Thompson’s words echoed in her memory. The gentle
encouragement from her piano teacher only served to deepen Sarah’s sense of unease. Did she genuinely love
playing the piano? What was she playing for? And most importantly, did she truly have what it took to succeed in
the world of music?
During her practice, Sarah found herself wrestling with these questions, her fingers pausing and hesitating
over the keys as her mind wandered. She couldn’t help but compare herself to her classmates, who seemed to
effortlessly master each new piece while she struggled to keep up.
The weight of self-doubt grew heavier with each passing day, weakening her passion for music altogether. But
a midst the darkness, a flicker（隐约）of hope remained. Deep down, Sarah knew that her love for the piano
burned bright, even if it was dimmed by clouds of uncertainty.
As Sarah sat at the piano, the answer to Mrs. Thompson’s question slowly became clear to her. With each
practiced note, each perfected passage, she realized that she didn’t just love playing the piano—she needed it. The
music was a part of her, an expression of her deepest emotions and desires.
Driven by this newfound clarity, Sarah threw herself into her practice sessions with renewed energy. Day after
day, she poured her heart and soul into her music, determined to showcase her passion and talent to the world.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
As the day of her first public performance approached, Sarah’s nerves threatened to overwhelm her once
again.
