It’s no wonder the train from London to Edinburgh is one of Trainline’s top three bestselling
routes forAmerican travelers. Here are the most popular routes to exploring the Scottish Highlands
by train, all starting inEdinburgh:
For those seeking out the fabled Loch Ness monster, Inverness is the closest train station to the
famous lake. From the station, travelers can take a bus or taxi to Fort Augustus and board a boat
tour or fishing charter to try to spot the creature. Even if she isn’t found, Loch Ness is still a sight
for the eyes, with a historic port and trails through the forests and past waterfalls. As Scotland’s
second-largest loch and holding more water than any other lake in the U.K., Loch Ness is a great
place to fish orboat.
2024年湖北云学部分重点高中联盟高三年级10月联考英语试卷 第 3 页（共12页）Although a long train ride, the trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig, a charming fishing village, is
worth it.This route offers some of the best scenery in the world – in fact, riders might recognize the
train and its route, which goes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, as Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Express.
Travelers can board the 19th-century-inspired Jacobite Steam Train and wind past enchanting
villages, theMorar Riverand beaches.
At an altitude of over 4,412 feet, Ben Nevis is an ancient volcano that exploded and collapsed
on itself to become the tallest mountain in the British Isles. Travelers can take the train to Fort
William, a town offering castles, distilleries, rugged coastlines. The town is also titled as the
“Outdoor Capital” of Scotland, so thrill seekers can go skiing and hiking to their heart’s desire. If
hiking Ben Nevis doesn’t sound appealing, there’s also a boat that provides stunning views without
the exercise.
21.What is special about thetrain to Mallaig?
A.It has thelongest train routeinScotland.
B. It travels to thesamestop inHarry Pottermovie.
C.It once appeared in thestory ofHarry Potter.
D.It is anexact copyof the19th-century steam train.
22.Which place attracts adventurous sports lovers?

C.They offerhiker-friendly routes for exploration.
D.They are connected to Edinburgh bytrains.

During the day, Gellin is the Pediatric Residents (儿科实习医生) Program Director at the UR
Medical Center (URMC) and a doctor at Golisano Children’s Hospital. At night though, twice a
week she leads Zumba classes that attract all sorts of people. Participants don’t need to copy
Gellin’s moves exactly,rather she tells everyone to have fun and move their bodies in whatever way
feels themost comfortable forthem. “There are nomistakes in Zumba,”she says.
“Zumba is meant to be a workout after all, so my goal is topresent a level that no matter where
you are, you have to push yourself.” With songs involving more fitness movements such as squats
2024年湖北云学部分重点高中联盟高三年级10月联考英语试卷 第 4 页（共12页）and jumping jacks, Gellin makes sure to alternate (交替) the higher and lower intensity songs and
dances, giving students a bit of a breather in between and always ending with a cooldown period of
stretches and deep breathing.
Each year at URMC, new pediatrics residents get a crash course in Zumba as well. “Residency
is a time where it’s probably every physicians’ steepest learning curve in their life,” Gellin said.
Drawing some comparisons to beginning a Zumba class, she said, “It’s a time where they are
thrown into doing things they may not feel comfortable doing but there’s always people around to
support them.”
Gellin noted that most of her job is actually centered around education rather than practicing
medicine, so she spends a lot of time thinking about what safe learning spaces mean and look like.
This has translated into her Zumba teaching as well; while there are no mistakes in Zumba, as she
tells newcomers, there are unfortunately mistakes in medicine – some with serious consequences.
Gellin works on setting up learning so her residents can have safety nets to catch them if they make
an error in judgment and prevent patient harm. “Areally important part of medicine is actually ‘be
who you are’,”Gellin said. “It’sokif you doitalittle differently than Idoit. I’myour guide.”
24.What dowe knowabout Gellin’s zumbaclasses?
A.They are open to herresidents only. B.They are given onabi-weekly basis.
C.They are casually taken byparticipants. D.They are moderately challenging.
25.What is paragraph 3mainly about?
A. People’s support toZumba beginners.
B.The similarity ofstarting Zumba andresidency.
C.The popularity ofZumba classes among residents.
D.The toughest period forfuture physicians.
26.What is thefocus of Gellin’sjob as adoctor?
A. Encouraging diversity in medical practice.
B. Preventing residents’errors in judgement.
C.Offering guidance onresidents’possiblemistakes.
D. Creating a tolerant environment for any outcomes.
27.Which words bestdescribe Gellin?
A.Active and supportive. B. Humbleand modest.
C.Strict and demanding. D. Energetic and aggressive.

During a judging period for a recent short story contest, I started thinking a lot about dialogue
tags. Because in many submissions characters didn’t “say” a thing. They shouted, they inquired,
they assumed. Some characters screamed while others murmured. But no one “said” anything.And
Istarted wondering why.
The moreI thought about it,the moreI understood the temptation.We’realways encouraged to
use strong, actionable verbs in our prose. Why walk when you can skip or wander? Why cry when
you can sob or weep? Why wouldn’t we reach for exciting verbs instead of dull “said”? Why
couldn’t each verb bea tinysparkling gem in itsownright?Theproblem, Ithink, is that every jewel
needs a setting to become something more than the sum of its parts. Without something to provide
structure, a collection of the world’s most glorious diamonds would still only amount to a heap of
rocks.
Dialogue is your diamond, friends. When we read your work, your dialogue should be so
lifelike that our brains “hear” each line instead of merely reading it. We don’t need to be told a
character isshouting –wecan sense itin theway they spitout words, clench fists,or storm from the
room. What’s more, readers may not initially imagine a particular line being “sobbed.” When we
reach the end of a sentence and find out our leading lady has actually sobbed instead of whispered,
it pulls us right out of the story. We pause. We reread the line. We adjust our understanding and
begin again. But that wonderful momentum when we’re fully immersed in the scene, holding our
breath to find out what our heroinesays next, islost.
Creating a successful work of fiction is about giving the reader all the materials they need to
build your fictional world in their mind. Readers need believable dialogue. And if you’ve created
dynamic characters who speak words we can really hear, you will never need to tell us how
something was said.
28.Whatdowe knowfrom thefirst two paragraphs?
A.The word “said” is overused in our stories.
B.The useofexcitingverbs makes characters alive.
C.Varieties of verbs are preferred byjudges at contests.
D. Strongverbs are considered to bean eye-catcher.
29.According to theauthor,_______contributes mostto agood story.
A. atalkative character B.avivid conversation
C.a collection ofdialogue tags D. awild imagination
2024年湖北云学部分重点高中联盟高三年级10月联考英语试卷 第 6 页（共12页）30.Which ofthefollowing does theauthorprobably agree with?
A. Creative dialogue tags help keep readers immersed in reading.
B.What was said shouldbeprioritised overhow itwas said.
C.Readers may betterunderstand ascene after rereading theline.
D.The morematerials a work of fiction contains, themore successful it is.
31.What argumentativemethods are used in this article?
① Usingexamples ② Justifying an assumption
③ Comparingand contrasting ④ Appealing to readers’emotions
A. ①② B. ②④ C. ③④ D. ①③

Whales and birds are frequently quoted as Earth's chief navigators. Insects, too, are displayed –
often represented by butterflies and bees. Ants, however, are rarely on the lips of those discussing
nature's best pilots.This is disheartening, particularly when considering the lack ofaction toaddress
ants' declining numbers compared with that for otherinsects andmammals.
Like whales, ants display extraordinary spatial skills as part of their remarkable navigational
toolkit. Their most well-known strategy – chemical signalling via pheromones (信息素) to guide
nestmates along shared paths –barely scratches thesurface.
Recent research I was involved with shows a new navigational characteristic for ants living in
complex environments. Wood ants (Formica rufa) returning to the nest through the dense woodland
exhibit idiosyncratic routes.That is, whereas one ant might always go tothe right ofabush andthen
under a log when returning home, another might always go to the left and then over. This suggests
the ants are relying on visual cues as opposed to pheromones, the responses to which would show
considerable overlap (重合). Or note the NorthAfrican desert-residing ant Cataglyphis fortis. Each
ant uses an internal “step counter” and heavenly cues to calculate its position relative to the nest in
the barren Saharan desert.Arecent studyrevealed that thisspecies also constructs mounds(土堆)as
visual cues to help find theway home.
Ants don't benefit from a wide range of conservation strategies. Humpback whales, on the
other hand, have thankfully seen their numbers bounce back due to protection initiatives. Indeed, a
study ofUK conservationpolicies found that mammals receive moreprotection than insects.
Despite how vital insects are to our planet, their biodiversity is in danger, and it is our duty to
make a case for insect protection across the board. Their remarkable navigational accuracy,
2024年湖北云学部分重点高中联盟高三年级10月联考英语试卷 第 7 页（共12页）originating from relatively basic neural circuits, is key to attracting public support. If only more
people knew that dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way, for example, their presence on
conservation lists would surely be more frequent. Perhaps thinking of insects as individual animals,
rather than their collective species, is a start.
32. Whyare whales and birds mentioned in thefirst paragraph?
A.Toshowtheirreputation is notwell-deserved.
B.Toprove theeffectiveness of conservation efforts.
C.Tohighlight ants’exceptional navigational ability.
D.Toconfirm they are best examplesof nature’s navigators.
33.Which ofthefollowing can best explainthe underlined word in paragraph 3?
A. Individualised. B. Identical. C. Contradictory. D. Complicated.
34.What can beinferred about theant species from thetext?
A.Theirsimpleneural circuits fail towin them protection.
B. Producing pheromones is theirmajormeans ofnavigation.
C.They tell directions bycounting theirsteps in thedesert.
D.Visual information accounts fortheir chosen routeto thenest.
35.Which could be thebest titleof thetext?
A. Navigational genius:Ants’brilliance overlooked
B.Amazingability: Insects’navigational secret uncovered
C.Best pilot:Ants’signalling behavior displayed
D.Alarming fact: Mammals are being overprotected

One of the most important parts of thinking critically is learning what details matter. We’re
exposed to so much information and so many different opinions every day that it’s really easy to get
lost in thedetails. 36 Here are just afew ways to dothat.
Alwaysask questions
Knowing which details to watch out for is the first part of critical thinking, 37 After all,
thinking critically and asking questions go pretty much hand in hand. It’s important to always ask
yourself why something is important and how it connects to things you already know. As you do
2024年湖北云学部分重点高中联盟高三年级10月联考英语试卷 第 8 页（共12页）that, you train your brain to make connections between ideas and think critically about more
information you comeacross.
Watch forqualifying phrases
Thinking critically isn’t just about training your brain, it’s also about training your ear so you
notice subtle little words and phrases that can set off warning flags. It’s impossible to pay attention
to everything. 38 Generally speaking, a good warning flag for when you need to put on that
critical thinkingcap is when thespeaker uses a qualifying statement.
Know andConfrontyourownbiases
We’re all biased about information whether we realize it or not, and part of critical thinking is
cultivating thepossibility to seeoutsidethosebiases. It’s tough, 39
Critically thinking doesn’t end. 40 It’s navel gazing (钻牛角尖) in that you’re constantly
thinking about thinking, but the end result is a brain that automatically forms better arguments,
focused ideas andcreative solutions toproblems.
A. It’s likely that you’ll get intoa dead-end and get lostin your thoughts.
B. but it’s pretty useless ifyou don’tknow what types ofquestions to ask next.
C. Therefore, it’s importanttoremain clear-headed and focus onthebigger picture.
D. The moreknowledge you cultivate, thebetter you’ll become at thinkingabout it.
E. Consequently,weneed to train ourselves tolearn which details matterand which don’t.
F. Soknowingthehandfulofphrasesthattendtocomebeforeaweakargumentisreallyhelpful.
G. but if you take the time to think about opposing views throughout the day, you’ll train
your brain to dothat moreoften.

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。
My head started spinning and my heart began racing a million miles a minutewhen our teacher
gave us theassignment to talk about someonewe were grateful for in front ofthewhole class.
“I’m so nervous that I can hardly catch my breath!” I told my friend Mareya. “You’ve been in
at least three plays,” Mareya pointed out. “If you don’t get stage fright in front of those big
audiences, why are you bothered by a few kids in our class?” “Maybe in a play you’re part of a
group and you say lines from a script (剧本).” I shook my head. “There are so many people I’m
grateful for. There’s no way I could possibly pick just one. Plus, even if I picked one, I’d have no
idea what to say. Plus even if I figured out what to say,I’m a million-percent positive I’d mess up if
I tried to say it out loud! I’d be standing there with everyone staring at me, waiting for words to
come out ofmymouth.”I put my hands overmy ears and said, “I don’t want to talk about it!”
But one thing about really good friends who know you really well is that they don’t always
do exactly what you ask them to. She drew a funny elephant on a piece of paper with the word
BREATHE coming out of its trunk. “This is Franky,” she giggled, “the ‘everything’s going to be all
right’elephant.” “Franky’s the best,” I said, “How about he talks infront of the class so I don’t have
to?” Mareya held the picture up to her ear. “What’s that you say, Franky? You thinkArizona should
come over tomy housethis weekend so we can work onourtalks together?”
Wemet on Saturday and tried to decide onourpick. __________________________________
