Sather Gowdy is a law student at Gonzaga University and the man behind Heal Spokane, a nonprofit organization focusing on improving his community. “Heal Spokane is devoted to serving our city through acts of kindness,” Sather says. “I’m just a regular guy who is eager to help others and serve my neighbors.”
In October 2017, Sather felt as if his world was falling apart. He went through a bad break-up with his girlfriend. Then he withdrew, avoiding going out. Everything changed one day as Sather was returning home from class. “I was ready to lock myself inside,” he says. “Then an elderly woman yelled from across the street, ‘Could you help me?’ She was tiny, gray-haired and standing by her car. The car was open and full of groceries. I helped her get them inside.”
“As I walked home, I realized that I felt very blissful for the first time in weeks,” Sather says. “I wondered if I could turn all the negative energy in my life into positive energy.” He made a decision: He wasn’t going to close himself off from others anymore. He committed himself to performing at least one act of kindness every day for someone in his community.
Later, Sather was asked to speak at his old high school’s Martin Luther King Jr Day meeting. Sather challenged more than 2,000 students there to make creative acts of kindness to see if this would heal (治愈) some of their own hurt. The movement has spread through Spokane as hundreds took the kindness challenge and promised to serve their community.
As the movement grew, so have Sather’s responsibilities. He devoted a few hours each day to “getting my hands dirty and finding ways to personally serve others” — usually by helping clean up areas of the city or assisting elderly neighbors with yard work and other tasks. Sather says one of the amazing things about serving others is that anyone can do it. “Start small. You’ll be amazed at the size of your impact.”
4. What does Heal Spokane aim to do?
A. To serve the community through kind acts. B. To raise funds to support acts of kindness. C. To improve the relationship of neighbors. D. To encourage citizens to make sacrifice.
5. What does the underlined word “blissful” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Embarrassed. B. Exhausted. C. Cheerful. D. Regretful. 6. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ___________. A. high school students are more likely to spread love B. Sather’s speech at his high school was influential C. the effects of Heal Spokane were ignored at first D. many students need to have their hurt healed
7. Which of the following may Sather Gowdy agree with? A. Helping others is a life-long course.
B. Elderly neighbors should be well respected.
C. With one’s great power comes great responsibility. D. Everyone can make a difference to their community.

2024-2024学年度深圳市高三上学期英语必修三Modul5-6综合测试试题
a common tool to interrupt long sitting in an office environment. As this furniture becomes popular, conflicting opinions have arisen on whether they can work as successfully as they are intended. Dr. April Chambers from the University of Pittsburgh worked with teammates to gather data from 53 studies and published a review article listing present information on the benefits of SSDs.
“There has been a great deal of scientific research about sit-stand desks in the past few years, but we have only scratched the surface of this topic,” said Chambers. “I want to gather what we’ve known so far to figure out how we can use these desks to better benefit people in the workplace.”
This work was done with Dr. Nancy A. Baker from Tufts University. The review examines the effects of a sit-stand desk in the following aspects: behavior, physiological (生理的), work performance, psychological, discomfort, and posture.
Their work showed that using a SSD effectively got participants to sit less and stand more and that the device made users more comfortable at work. However, many frustrations (沮丧) with SSDs came from the physiological outcomes. According to the review, physiological effects were the most studied, but there were no significant results with regards to fatness.
There are many considerations about using a SSD most effectively, such as desk height, monitor height, and the amount of time to stand. Chambers believes that the overall arrangement of the workplace and the amount of work are two factors that should be further studied.
Chambers noted that present research is limited because many of the studies were done with young and healthy subjects who were asked to use the desk for a week or a month at most. Since some of the significant benefits are with heart health or muscle discomfort, it may be beneficial to perform additional studies with middle-aged or overweight workers. 8. What are the conflicts over SSDs mainly about? A. Their popularity. B. Their effectiveness. C. Their true intention. D. Their side effects. 9. What does Chambers’ article intend to do? A. To call on people to stand more. B. To contradict the existing opinions. C. To find out the drawbacks of SSDs. D. To suggest ways to better use SSDs.
10. What might be the researchers’ attitude towards SSDs’ physiological result? A. Indifferent. B. Dissatisfied. C. Positive. D. Worried.
11. What needs to be examined in further research according to Chambers? A. Desk and monitor height.
B. A broader range of participants. C. The time spent on people’s standing. D. Behavior and psychological aspects.

The seasonal attractions, usually open from January to early March each year, are the brainchild of Brent Christensen. In 2011, the father of six, who had just moved from sunny California to snowy Utah, was looking for a way to entertain the kids during a particularly severe winter. The ice castle he constructed in his backyard was a hit, not just with his own kids, but with youngsters from all across the town. The smiles and joy his simple idea brought to the children’s faces made Christensen realize that his winter invention could do the same for families across the country, and “Ice Castles” was born.
Every year, at the beginning of winter, the Ice Castles team heads to a select few North American cities, which are known for their cold weather in winter, to set up drip pipes, a tool used to encourage the formation of long icicles (冰柱).Once enough ice is formed to support a stable structure, a group of 20 to 40 artists arrive in the region and painstakingly carve the icicles into archways, caves, tunnels, and even fun slides by hand. On predetermined dates, visitors can also enjoy fantastic fire shows and take photos with the “snow princess”.
What makes the structures fascinating is their potential to change on an almost daily basis depending on the weather. A colder winter means more icicles to carve, making visits later in the season especially rewarding. Visitors are therefore advised to check the company’s website before heading towards the kingdoms. Most importantly, however, buy your tickets in advance, for they are often sold out months in advance! 12. Why did Brent Christensen build Ice Castles? A. To entertain his kids. B. To decorate his backyard.
C. To make movie scenes a reality.
D. To bring pleasure to children nationwide.
13. Which of the following words can best describe Brent Christensen? A. Patient and generous. B. Kind and helpful. C. Encouraging and humorous. D. Caring and creative. 14. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. An education journal. B. A tourism guidebook. C. A family magazine. D. A history book. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A Disney’s movie — Frozen. B. A form of art — icicle carving. C. A winter attraction — Ice Castles. D. A loving father — Brent Christensen.

According to the most recent count, this vault holds 890,000 samples of seeds from all around the world!
17 There are over 1,000 seed banks like that around the world. They were created to store crop seeds in case they disappear from nature. And the one in Svalbard, Norway, is just one of them. It is there in case any of these seed banks get destroyed.
Inside the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the seeds sit sealed in boxes. The temperature stays at

-18°C. Scientists monitor the moisture levels and temperature inside the bank. 18
But in February 2024, the Norwegian government announced that the Svalbard Global Seed Vault would be getting some updates. 19 Why?
In general, these updates will make the vault more secure. In 2017, outdoor temperatures in the region were warmer than usual. The warm temperatures melted the permafrost (永久冻土层) in the region. 20 It didn’t affect any of the seeds, but it got scientists to think about future risks. For example, rising temperatures due to climate change could make more permafrost melt. A. This caused flooding at the entrance to the vault.
B. The conditions to keep seeds are therefore quite strict.
C. On the outside, it looks like a mysterious door leading into a mountain. D. This way, they make sure the conditions for preserving the seeds are right. E. Thanks to seed banks, scientists have a source of genetically diverse seeds. F. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a type of seed bank where seeds are stored.
G. For example, it would get a building to store emergency power units and refrigerators there.
