are at home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves

School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’s 14. original compositions began to

become quite popular among choirs and singers. This led to the 15. creation of the virtual choir.

In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works.16. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one 17. performance. His

first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received

millions of 18.views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide 19. phenomenon. Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen

on 20. stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. 21. Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries 22.

joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”. The virtual choir is a wonderful way 23. for people around the world to sing with one voice

and 24. thus make the world a better place. B.短語翻譯

B.課文原文填空. Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as the

seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different

customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals. Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This

important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People

celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest

festival was celebrated during the springtime-the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and

a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate

churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During

the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy

delicious mooncakes. Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With

the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away

and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of

lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big

cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins. Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the

celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the

public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be

commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public

happiness. Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and

attitudes towards life. They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our

work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to

appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures

actually have a lot in common after all. A． 句子翻譯填空

A. 課文填空

“Life is 1. precious. ... To a person nothing is more precious than their life, and if they 2. entrust me with that life, how could I 3. refuse that trust, saying I’m cold, hungry, or tired?” These

words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this 4. amazing woman, and what 5. carried her through a life of hard choices. As a five-year-old girl, Lin Qiaozhi was deeply 6. affected by her mother’s death. At age 18,

instead of following the traditional path of 7. marriage like the 8. majority of girls, she chose to

study medicine. “Why should girls learn so much? Finding a good husband should be their final

goal!” her brother 9. complained, thinking of the hign tuition 10. fees. She 11. responded,”I’d

rather stay 12. single to study all my life!” Eight years later, Lin graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wenhai

13. Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. She immediately became the 14. first

woman ever to be 15. hired as a resident 16. physician in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC

Hospital. 17. Within six months, she was named a 18. chief resident physician, a position that

usually took four years to achieve. After working for a few years, she was 19. sent to study in

Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She greatly 20. impressed her American colleagues, who

invited her to stay. Dr Lin, however, 21. rejected the offer. She wanted to 22. serve the women

and children at home.

In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be 23. appointed director of the

OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, but just a few months later, the department was

closed because of the war. Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private

24. clinic. She 25. charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced costs for poor

patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey to 26. faraway villages to provide medical

care.The new People’s Republic of China 27. saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. In 1954, she

was elected to the first National People’s Congress and, over the next several 28. decades, she

held many important positions. Her heart, however, was 29. elsewhere. She was more interested

in 30. tending patients, 31. publishing medical research 32. on care for women and children, and

training the next generation of doctors. “The OB-GYN department cares for two lives,” she told

new 33. staff in her department. “As doctors, we should be 34. responsible for the patients and

35. treat them as our sisters.” Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the “mother of ten thousand babies”, having 36. delivered over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr Lin did not 37. retire until the day she

died, 22 April 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her 38. savings to a 39. kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she 40. lay dying, her final thoughts were

for others. “I’m ready to go,” she said. ”Don’t try to 41. rescue me any more. Don’t waste the

medicine any more.” B.短語翻譯

A.課文原文填空

Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood

Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley I have to admit that it definitely

feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city-a city that was able to rebuild

itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old

buildings-many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge. My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the

city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district

used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an

art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art

and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite

modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a

food truck. A real mix of cultures here!

In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in

California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000

people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly

became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some

opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern

region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America

was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants

left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home

here.This evening, I went to Chinatown. There were so many good cafes and

restaurants to choose from. I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on

beautiful china plates. What great food!

Richmond District. Can’t wait!
