1.【河北衡水金卷先享题2024届高三摸底联考试题】When Miss Lyons finished typing the rules, it was almost class time, and I was anxious to get down to the
gym. I took the rules and made my way down the stairs. Just inside the door there was a bulletin board for notices.
With thumb tacks (图钉) I fastened the rules to this board and then walked across the gym. I was sure in my own
mind that the game was good, but it needed a real test. I felt that its success or failure depended largely on the way
that the class received it.
The first member of the class to arrive was Frank Mahan. He was a southerner from North Carolina, had
played tackle (阻截队员) on the football team, and was the ringleader of the group. He saw me standing with a ball
in my hand, and perhaps guessed that another experiment was to be tried. He looked up at the basket on one end of
the gallery, and then his eyes turned to me. He stared at me for an instant, and then looked towards the other end of
the gym. Perhaps he was nervous, because his cry sounded like a death knell (丧钟) as he said, “Huh! Another new
game!
When the class arrived, I called the roll and told them that I had another game, which I felt sure would be
good. I promised them that if this was a failure, I would not try any more experiments. I then read the rules from
the bulletin board and proceeded to organize the game. There were eighteen men in the class; I selected two
captains and had them choose sides. W hen the teams were chosen, I placed the men on the floor. There were three
forwards, three centers, and three backs on each team. I chose two of the center men to jump, then threw the ball
between them. It was the start of the first basketball game and the finish of the trouble with that class.
24. What was the author's goal in introducing a new game to the class?
A. To popularize a new sport. B. To test the success of the game.
C. To occupy the class during gym time. D. To impress the students with his skills.
25. Who was the ringleader of the group?
A. Miss Lyons. B. Frank Mahan. C. A center man. D. The author himself.
26. What was the initial reaction of Frank Mahan towards the game?
A. Doubtful. B. Excited. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
27. What was the outcome of the author's new basketball game?
A. It was satisfactory. B. It was a failure. C. It received mixed reviews. D. It remained to be seen.

2.【2024届高三金太阳11月大联考试题（11省联考）】
For Vishwanath Mallabadi from Bangalore, India, there is no such thing as a useless object or "waste". Give
him anything -- abandoned metal or plastic items, old devices, dysfunctional printed circuit boards -- and he'll
create art out of it.
Vishwanath's passion is particularly relevant in the current age, where India generates more e-waste than it can
recycle. From 2019 to 2020, the country generated a total of more than 1 million tonnes of e-waste. Of this, only
22.7 percent was collected, taken apart and recycled. The eco-artist has upcycled and transformed nearly 200 kg of
e-waste into usable products and proposes eco-art as a means to deal with waste management.
Vishwanath's father, D M Shambhu, was a famous sculptor and painter, but he wanted his son to choose
medicine and become a doctor. However, Vishwanath, who was interested in upcycling second hand objects right
from childhood, decided to pursue a BFA in Applied Art. He later went on to work in a company as a high-level
administrator and retired two years ago. "In my free time and during the weekends, I used to conduct experiments
in e-waste and try to develop something unique," he recalled.
So far, the eco-artist has created more than 500 objects. These include a six-foot tall sculpture made from
upcycled computer keyboard keys, and a painting inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, using
upcycled resistors (电阻器) on wood. Among his other artworks are a 42 x 38 inch figure statue created from
upcycled keyboard keys on a sun board finished with plastics, a deer made of colorful used wires, plants and
flowers from computer parts, and eco jewellery from upcycled digital wrist watch parts.
"The work involves selecting the e-waste objects the texture, shape, and colour etc, and visualising and
conceptualising the final product. It might take weeks and months for sculptures. However, sustainable initiatives
and upcycled art are nowadays in demand in multinational companies opting for a sustainable culture," he said.24. What does the author try to convey in paragraph 2?
A. The seriousness of e-waste in India.
B. Vishwanath's passion for environment protection.
C. The achievements of waste management in India.
D. Vishwanath's attitude towards dealing with e-waste.
25. What did Vishwanath work as before retiring?
A. A passionate eco-artist. B. A private doctor.
C. A famous sculptor. D. A senior manager.
26. Which of the artworks were made of the same materials?
A. The deer and the plants. B. The sculpture and the figure statue.
C. The painting and the flowers. D. The deer and the eco jewellery.
27. What does Vishwanath think of his working on eco-art?
A. Exciting but unprofitable. B. Creative but useless.
C. Demanding but worthwhile. D. Efficient but costly.
【答案】24~27 ADBC
【解析】:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍印度生态艺术家Vishwanath的爱好和成就。
24.A [解析]推理判断题。 第二段主要介绍印度电子垃圾的处理现状。
25. D [解析]细 节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知,他退休之前是一名企业高管。
26. B [解析]细节理解题。 根据第四段可知,一座六英尺(182.88 cm)高的雕塑和一个 42英寸X38英寸
(106.68cmX96.52cm)的雕像的主要原材料都是升级再造的电脑键盘键。
27.C[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，创造雕塑品可能需要几周甚至几个月的时间，但如今选择可
持续文化的跨国公司对可持续倡议表示赞同以及对升级再造的艺术品有很大的需求。由此可推断,他的工作
费时费力但却是值得的。
3.【九师联盟2024届高三第二次质检英语试题】
Debra Dolan was 21 and on her first trip alone when she first sent a postcard to herself. It was 1979, and
Dolan, who grew up in central Canada, was visiting Vancouver for the first time. She was immediately blown
away by the city s beauty.
Although she was usually an enthusiastic diarist, Dolan was swept up in the excitement of the trip, and found
she barely had a free moment. “I thought, ‘I don't have time to write in my journal.’ And I didn't travel with a
camera," Dolan said. “So when I went to Vancouver Island, or saw places in Vancouver, I determined, 'I'll just senda postcard to myself.”
On the back of each card, Dolan wrote a paragraph or two about her impressions, thoughts and feelings, and
then mailed it to her home address. Some 10 days later, Dolan returned home to a pile of postcards from herself.
Receiving them, said Dolan, was “an absolute joy.”
“After I'd come to Vancouver, I realized，‘ Well, it's easy to travel. And it's easy to travel alone. I don' t
have to be nervous about this,'” said Dolan. So she decided exploring the world was her first priority. From there,
Dolan traveled on to Australia. Then she stayed on the road for months, traveling around the globe and writing
postcards to herself.
Over about forty years, 64- year-old Dolan has sent hundreds of postcards to herself from trips across the
world. Amazingly, they’ve all arrived. “They really tell me about- not only where I’ve been, but who I was that
day,” said Dolan, who said looking over the postcard collection inspired her to reflect on “the experiences I've been
able to have.”
For Dolan, the postcards to herself capture(捕捉) a moment and help enjoy it. “Those special moments in your
life are uniquely yours. We may all see the same thing on our travels. But our experience of that day is all
different,” said Dalan.
24. What do the underlined words “blown away” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Surrounded. B. Attracted. C. Connected. D. Attached.
25. What did Dolan decide to do when seeing Vancouver's beauty?
A. Keep a diary. B. Give up writing. C. Take some photos. D. Send herself a postcard.
26. How did the trip to Vancouver affect Dolan?
A. It awakened her love for travel. B. It made her an enthusiastic diarist.
C. She was afraid of traveling alone. D. She never took a camera along.
27. What can we know from paragraph 5?
A. Some postcards failed to reach Dolan. B. Dolan stopped traveling due to her old age.
C. The postcards bring Dolan many memories. D. Dolan sent others postcards across the world.

4.【“天一大联考●皖豫名校联盟”2024届高三第一次大联考英语试题】
It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Jerry Chun across the street who stormed in and out of his own
house. He did it so often that a neighbor, Wiliam Dunn, wondered what was going on in his life. So, Dunn asked
him.
“He told me that he didn't have a father,” says Dunn, now 58, “and I realized there might be something I could
do for him.
That something was fishing, and Dunn’ s father taught him how to fish. “Fishing always brought me peace and
it taught me how to be patient. When you’ re on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate
the moment, ” Dunn said.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their
neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Dunn has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018, he started the
nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2 ,500 kids--most
without fathers around- to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.
One of those kids was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in
January 2020. “He was really close to his dad,” says Jayden’s mother, Terra Pryor. And with two younger sisters, he
“felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn’t show his
emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc.”
Jayden, now 13, has become a devoted fisherman and credits Dunn with helping him mature.
“There’s nothing like feeling that first tug(猛拉) on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,” Dunn says.
“I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.”24. What can we learn about Jerry Chun from the first paragraph?
A. He longed to have a father. B. He tended to be restless. C. He was interested in fishing. D. He had an ambitious
mind.
25. Why did Dunn set up Take a Kid Fishing Inc?
A. Because he considered teaching children to catch fish fun.
B. Because he had to raise some volunteers to help kids.
C. Because he wanted to light up fatherless children's life.
D. Because he enjoyed the company of children.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Jayden Pryor?
A. To present the benefits of Dunn's act. B. To show Jayden’s mother' s appreciation.
C. To promote the popularity of fishing together. D. To make readers donate money to Dunn's organization.
27. What conclusion can be made from Dunn 's work?
A. Proper and timely guidance makes a mature kid. B. Family kids are the future of a strong nation.
C. Fishing can strengthen family connections. D. Fathers play an important role in kids' life.

5.【2024届湖南炎德英才名校大联考高三第三次联考】
A biker wearing a funny hat passes by a Charcoal Chicken shop.Two men wearing sunglasses edge
around a man lying on a street corner.A group of Hare Krishnas sing and play instruments as they dance,
These are three of many moments frozen in time by photographer Mary Hutchinson on Cuba St,perhaps
Wellington's most-wandered street-and certainly its coolest.
Last May, Hutchinson chose 60 Cuba St photos for her third book of black-and-white
photography,Cuba People,self-published to time with her exhibition at Cuba St's Thistle Hall.Various
passers by recognized friends in the prints,and told her about the people pictured.Some told those friends
to stop by.“Three women from the Hare Krishna photo came in,all excited,”she says.“They filmed me
beside the photo,and I photographed them beside it.That was so much fun.”
Hutchinson photographs in black and white like the pioneers of street photography.Legally,you can
photograph anyone in public,but often she asks permission first or—when the moment's about to be gone
—afterwards.The vast majority says yes,and she offers to email them copies.“Sometimes,people are
unaware they've been photographed,but I make a judgment about whether they'll mind or not.”
Hutchinson says she wants to be a voice for the unfamous people". Consequently, homeless
people,beggars and addicts populate the pages of Cuba People and her book Newtown Forever,which
accompanied her exhibition at the Newtown Festival.“That's partly because I see those people
around,and partly because they often get blanked by people like me.I want to balance that out a bit."
“I want to show our shared human nature and the contrasting lifestyles in our urban
communities,”she says.“I once photographed an old man with amazing eyes.I didn't know him but a
friend did,and she gave his family a copy after he died. That's what moves me:the times in life when
something unexpectedly joins up.
24.Which of the following could be seen in"the photo"underlined in paragraph 3?
A.People dancing and singing B.A bicyclist passing by a shop.
C.Hutchinson and the three women. D.The exhibition at Cuba St's Thistle Hall.
25.What is the probable reason why Hutchinson asks permission to photograph someone?
A.It is required by law. B.It is required in Wellington.C.She wants to show respect for them. D.She wants to attract their attention.
26.What is the main purpose of Cuba People?
A.To promote street photography. B.To present a colorful urban life.
C.To show what happens on Cuba St. D.To get ordinary people known to the public.
27.What can we infer about the photo of the old man?
A.It is related to country life. B.It caused some unexpected problems.
C.It reminds people of good times in life. D.It turned out to be precious to his family.
【答案】 24. A 25. C 26. D 27. D
【导读】B篇讲述了一个摄影师在威灵顿市最受欢迎的街道上拍照的经历，以及她的摄影作品，强调了看
待日常生活的新角度。问题涉及到图中的人与事，以及作者的拍摄意图等方面。
A. 正在跳舞和唱歌的人们。
解析：在文中第三段中提到："Three women from the Hare Krishna photo came in, all excited." 这句话
表明被提及的照片是一张捕捉到Hare Krishna团体成员正在跳舞和演奏乐器的照片。因此，可以推断出
"the photo" 指的是正在跳舞和唱歌的人们。选项A正确。
C. 她想要对他们表示尊重。
解析：根据原文所言，尽管在法律上允许在公共场合拍摄任何人，但 Hutchinson 经常征求许可或提供电
子副本，这是出于对被拍摄者的尊重。原文中提到："... I often ask permission or offer to email them
copies out of respect." 因此，Hutchinson 请求拍摄某人的许可是出于对他们的尊重。选项C正确。
Cuba People 的主要目的是什么？
D. 让普通人为公众所知。
解析：文章中提到 Hutchinson 希望成为“非名人的代言人”，旨在展示我们共同的人性以及城市社区中
不同的生活方式。她通过拍摄无家可归者、乞丐和吸毒者，希望给这些经常被忽视的个体更多的曝光。这
表明 Cuba People 的主要目的是让普通人为公众所知。选项D正确。
关于那张老人的照片，我们可以推断出什么？
D. 这张照片对他的家人来说是珍贵的。
解析：原文提到摄影师曾经拍摄了一张老人的照片，虽然摄影师本人并不认识他，但她的一个朋友认识
他，并在他去世后将照片的副本送给了他的家人。这暗示着这张照片对老人的家人具有情感价值，被视为
珍贵的。选项D正确。
6.【河南省TOP二十名校2023-2024学年高三上学期调研考试英语试题】The United Arab Emirates is a small country with big ambitions. Possibly, nowhere is clearer than in its
space program, which has already sent two astronauts to space and has a satellite probing (探测) the atmosphere
around Mars.
The country, over 50 years old, marked a milestone on Monday after Emirati astronaut Sultan Alneyadi
returned to Earth in a SpaceX capsule following six months aboard the International Space Station. It was the
longest space mission conducted by an Arab astronaut. Alneyadi also became the first person from the Middle
East to conduct a spacewalk outside the ISS.
Alneyadi, 42, was part of a four-person NASA Crew-6 mission that was launched in March and returned to
Earth after 186 days in space, Alneyadi’s time aboard the ISS highlights the country’s regional edge in space
exploration.
“For me, it was a dream that had come true, It was really amazing, especially for my region,” Alneyadi said
in a video conference a few days before leaving the ISS. “I felt that I’m responsible for showing what’s happening
aboard the station. I think it’s a boost towards spreading the enthusiasm in our region.”
The father of six and longtime military engineer has been praised as a national hero in the UAE since his
return to Earth.
The UAE’s president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, referred to Alneyadi as “my son” in a post
congratulating him on his achievement. He said, “Alneyadi’s journey shows we are capable of contributing
positively to humanity’s scientific and civilized march.”
Alneyadi, a Ph. D. holder in information technology, beat out thousands of candidates in the UAE, passing
numerous physical and psychological tests to ensure he could stand the physical and mental stress of being in space
for many months. He then trained in Russia and the US to become an astronaut.
In one of his final social media posts from space, Alneyadi wrote, “Space, this is not a goodbye, I will see
you later, whether on a new mission to the ISS or a farther destination.”
24. What does Alneyadi say about his space exploration?
A. It makes him responsible. B. It is inspiring in his region.
C. It marks a milestone in space walks. D. It is an unrealistic space mission.
25. Why did the UAE’s president call Alneyadi his son?
A. To express his humor. B. To maintain their relationship.
C. To show his pride in Alneyadi. D. To thank Alneyadi’s family.
26. What is paragraph 7 mainly about?
A. How Alneyadi struggled for his dream. B. Why Alneyadi dreamt to be an astronaut.C. Why Alneyadi became popular worldwide. D. How Alneyadi obtained his academic degrees.
27. What does Alneyadi plan to do in the future?
A. Say goodbye to space. B. Become an Internet influencer.
C. Work on building a new ISS. D. Continue his space exploration.
【答案与解析】
本文是一篇新闻报道, 阿联酋的宇航员Sultan Alneyadi在国际空间站工作了六个月后, 于周一乘坐SpaceX
的太空舱返回地球。这对于这个拥有50多年历史的国家来说是一个里程碑, 这是阿拉伯宇航员进行的时间
最长的太空任务, Sultan Alneyadi也成为第一个在国际空间站外进行太空行走的中东人。
24. B 细节理解题。根据第四段“ ‘I think it’s a boost towards spreading the enthusiasm in our region.’ ”可
知, Alneyadi的太空探索之旅会提高他们地区对太空探索的热情。由此可知, Alneyadi认为他的太空之旅是
鼓舞人心的。
25. C推理判断题。根据第五段“...praised as a national hero in the UAE since his return to Earth. ”及第六段
“...congratulating him on his achievement. ”可推断, 阿联酋总统称Alneyadi为儿子是为了表明他为Alneyadi
感到骄傲。

Elon Mus k has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal. I can save his committee a lot
of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging
blockbuster of 2015. Wohlleben's idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling（乱作为） with them,
thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, our Romes will bum.
The Hidden Life of Irees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviours, but it's terribly
hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our salvation. Of course, there are things we could
and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the
problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect it makes your garden
cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring （蒸发）. If there's no water, there's no
cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohllebe n sets them out. As a
species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behaviour— and that's how trees survive, too.
Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate theirgrowth by changing the rate at which they drip — feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
Deciduous （落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut
them down and bun them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor.
Deciduous trees are not "harvest-ready" at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting
expressions such as "renewable energy", and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don't learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us. Wohlleben
brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
24. What does Wohllebe a suggest for carbon capture?
A. Fight climate change. B. Leave trees alone. C. Save the earth. D. Change forestry species.
25. How do trees survive the drought?
A. They slow their growth B. They lose all their leaves. C. They stop absorbing water. D. They get help from
humans.
26. What does the underlined word "interrogate" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Understand. B. Question. C. Translate. D. Accept.
27. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A science report. C. An introduction to a writer. D. A proposal for a reward
【答案】24.B. 25.A. 26.B. 27.A.
【导读】这篇文章主要讲述了关于树木的重要性和保护树木的必要性，强调了停止对树木的干预，让自然
发挥作用。作者引用了彼得·沃勒本的书《树木的隐秘生活》来支持这一观点，并指出树木可以对抗气候变
化，并提供了一些关于树木的生态学方面的知识。文章呼吁人们认识到树木的价值，并采取行动保护它们。
24.B. 文章中提到沃尔勒本的观点是对树木不要进行干预，这样可以更好地应对气候变化。因此，他建议
让树木自己生长，而不是干预它们。
25.A.文章指出树木有许多应对干旱的方法，其中一种方法是调节它们的生长速度。因此，在干旱期间它们
会减慢生长速度以求生存。

Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado
snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.
I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed
our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian
dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to
childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up
tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughterbetween scones (煎饼) and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.
Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every
day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new
area had to offer.
One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words “Tea Leaves” caught my eye. A tea room?
Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and
lovely. I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful—and
it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be,
my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom
that lessened my pain.

From the time he was a young boy, Jim Haskins always had a book in his hand. While other kids were outside
playing ball, Jim was usually reading. He could be found in one of his favorite places: curled up underneath the
kitchen table or up in the tree that grew in his front yard.
Jim was born in Demopolis, Alabama, during the time of segregation (隔离). Because Jim was Black, he was
not allowed to check out a single book at the public library. Libraries were for whites only. The laws of segregation
separated Jim from all the books he longed to read. But Jim was determined. He convinced a teacher at school to
lend him books of her own. He even managed to get some public library books through a white woman whom his
mom worked for doing laundry.When Jim was a teenager, Black Americans’ struggle for equal rights was becoming the civil rights movement.
Many brave people were taking risks by refusing to follow unfair segregation laws. Jim went to Montgomery,
Alabama, and joined a civil rights group. The group was headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim believed in
King’s nonviolent approach to change. Once, during a peaceful march, Jim was arrested. Because of that, his
college expelled him.
He did graduate from another college. Afterward, he went on to teach school in Harlem, a part of New York
City. As a teacher, he had trouble finding books that interested his Black students. So he decided to write his own
books about successful Black Americans. Through his writing, he met and interviewed many of the people he
admired, including Rosa Parks.
Today, libraries have more than one hundred books written by Jim Haskins, the boy who loved to read, and
today, children of all races can walk through the doors of any public library and find interesting books that inform,
entertain, and inspire them.

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the casebecause parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer
think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He
completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech
companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的)
species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual
skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a
television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they
understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist
told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t
comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go
through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with
older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let
him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things
are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our
environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
24. What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to?

25. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon?
A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.

D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.27. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills?

I was born a bookworm. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t read: It was almost like breathing to me. My
fictional worlds took me to all the places I needed to go and I experienced everything indirectly.
My father was in the military service when I was a child, so we moved every two years, but we insisted on
going to bookshops wherever we lived. He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and
wait patiently while I browsed(随便看看) — after all, the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be
rushed. And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops. One day I was thinking up the setting for How to
Find Love in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm, contentment,and excitement came over me. It was a feeling
of perfect happiness. That was my light bulb moment: My book would be set in a bookshop, and I could explore
what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives.
The book isn’t just about discovering romantic love. It’s about finding the love of books:something that can
sustain you throughout your life, and provide escape, entertainment, education,comfort and wonder. And, as I
learned from my own father, it’s a love you can share with everyone. There is nothing more satisfying than sharing
something you have read with someone else, knowing they will love it as much as you do.
But if we are to keep bookshops alive, we need to use them,and to encourage the next generation to make
them a part of their life and view bookshops as a treat, a pleasure, an adventure,a gateway, so they become
something we can’t live without. Thus my challenge to you, fellow readers, is to go to your local bookshops as
often as possible and come out with something that might change your life.
4. Why did the author often move when he was a child?
A. Because her father loved travelling. B. Because her father was in the army.
C. Because her parents divorced. D. Because her parents wanted to find a better school for
her.
5. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with bookshops as a child?
A. Distant. B. Casual. C. Inseparable. D. Cooperative.
6. What might the book How to Find Love talk about?
A. How books affect people’s lives. B. Romantic stories of the author’s parents.
C. How bookshops become popular. D. Touching stories between father and daughter.

The film Lunana: A Yak (牦牛) in the Classroom, nominated for an Oscar in the Best International Feature
category, traces the year-long transformative journey of a young Bhutanese teacher, Ugyen. Bhutanese writer and
director Pawo Choyning’s first film is set in the real village of Lunana, a remote community of nomadic yak
herders situated at a dizzying altitude of more than 11,000 feet.
When Ugyen is told he must relocate the village from the capital city of Thimpu to serve out the end of histeaching contract, he tries to convince his boss that the move would make him sick. The boss snaps back, “This is
not an altitude problem, but an attitude problem. Are you even Bhutanese?”
So he postpones his dream of becoming a singer in Australia and instead goes on a long journey to a valley
with a total population of 50 people and no electricity — and yes, a yak in the classroom, put there by a young
woman from the village who wants the teacher to understand the relationship the villagers have with their yaks and
to have access to yak dung (粪), which is used to warm homes and seen to be of great value.
Life in the Himalayas proves difficult but rewarding for Ugyen. It was a similar experience for Pawo
Choyning, who spent a year and a half preparing for filming, hauling in all of the necessary equipment and
overseeing the construction of housing for his crew.
“In Bhutan, many young teachers are leaving for Australia because they’re not happy with their jobs and they
don’t realize what an important responsibility they have back home. The village we were at was one of the few
villages in the region with a school and teacher. The actual teacher of the village let us use the school and worked
with us to make the film. The film was inspired by his stories,” Pawo Choyning said in an interview.
4. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A blog on travelling. B. An introduction to a film.
C. A guidebook to Himalayas. D. A biography of a director.
5. What is Ugyen’s original attitude towards the journey to Lunana?
A. Acceptable. B. Indifferent. C. Opposed. D. Thankful.
6. Why is a yak put in the classroom?
A. To keep the yak from the cold.
B. To reduce the life burden of the woman.
C. To raise students’ awareness of the protection of yaks.
D. To make Ugyen realize the importance of yaks to locals.
7. What can we know about the film from Pawo Choyning’s words?

For Vishwanath Mallabadi from Bangalore, India, there is no such thing as a useless object or “waste”. Give
him anything—abandoned metal or plastic items, old devices, dysfunctional printed circuit boards — and he’ll
create art out of it.
Vishwanath’s passion is particularly relevant in the current age, where India generates more e-waste than it can
recycle. From 2019 to 2020, the country generated a total of more than 1 million tonnes of e waste. Of this, only
22.7 percent was collected, taken apart and recycled. The eco-artist has upcycled and transformed nearly 200 kg of
e-waste into usable products and proposes eco-art as a means to deal with waste management.
Vishwanath’s father, D M Shambhu, was a famous sculptor and painter, but he wanted his son to choose
medicine and become a doctor. However, Vishwanath, who was interested in upcycling second-hand objects right
from childhood, decided to pursue a BFA in Applied Art. He later went on to work in a company as a high-level
administrator and retired two years ago. “In my free time and during the weekends. I used to conduct experiments
in e-waste and try to develop something unique,” he recalled.
So far, the eco-artist has created more than 500 objects. These include a six-foot tall sculpture made from
upcycled computer keyboard keys, and a painting inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, using
upcycled resistors (电阻器) on wood. Among his other artworks are a 42×38 inch figure statue created from
upcycled keyboard keys on a sun board finished with plastics, a deer made of colorful used wires, plants and
flowers from computer parts, and eco jewellery from upcycled digital wrist watch parts.
“The work involves selecting the e-waste objects—the texture, shape, and colour etc, and visualising and
conceptualising the final product. It might take weeks and months for sculptures. However, sustainable initiatives
and upcycled art are nowadays in demand in multinational companies opting for a sustainable culture,” he said.
4. What does the author try to convey in paragraph 2?
A. The seriousness of e-waste in India.
B. Vishwanath’s passion for environment protection.
C. The achievements of waste management in India.
D. Vishwanath’s attitude towards dealing with e-waste.
5. What did Vishwanath work as before retiring?
A. A passionate eco-artist. B. A private doctor.
C. A famous sculptor. D. A senior manager.6. Which of the artworks were made of the same materials?
A. The deer and the plants. B. The sculpture and the figure statue.
C. The painting and the flowers. D. The deer and the eco jewellery.
7. What does Vishwanath think of his working on eco-art?
A. Exciting but unprofitable. B. Creative but useless.
C. Demanding but worthwhile. D. Efficient but costly.

14.【重庆市名校联盟2023-2024学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题】
Upon discovering her grandma Georgie’s clothing sketches (草图) in 2021, Julia, a 27-year-old TikToker,
barely knew how to sew clothes. Nonetheless, she decided to take it upon herself to make Grandma’s old designer
dreams come alive. And it’s not surprising at all, then, that when Julia shared her hard work with her absolutely
delighted Grandma, and later her followers—more than 21million viewers tuned in to see what the most adorable
version of Paris Fashion Week looks like. Oh, and what a sight it is.
When Julia first came across her grandma’s fashion design sketches that were almost three times as old as she
is, she was attracted by them. So were her unexpected TikTok viewers, 2.7 million of them, who shared Julia’s
appreciation of these drawings, leading to her first viral video. “I knew grandma was talented, but I was like, ‘Wow,
these are really much better than what I was envisioning in my head’,” she told Insider.
Using material leftover from her grandmother’s collection of outdated fabrics, Julia has sewn many of the
dresses Georgie envisioned. She notes that she doesn’t always follow her “grandma sketch”, as what looks good on
paper might not translate onto the body. “Grandma encourages that,” Julia explains.
This ongoing cooperation across generations has led to an extremely popular TikTok series in which Julia
shows Georgie what she’s created. It’s also sparked sweet conversations between the two of them, which are shared
on video. “It’s a beautiful bonding experience between us that has made Grandma happy,” she said.
“Lots of people who are older and watch my videos say they love seeing someone younger appreciate
something from their generation,” she said. “And then younger people see it and maybe they lost their
grandparents, and they say seeing my videos reminds them of their grandparents,” said Julia.

15.【2024届浙江省金华市金华十校高三上学期一模英语试题】
I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do
you look forward to the most in college?” I was astonished and delighted recently when a student replied, “I look
forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting
before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they
remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding course or trying an activity I may not succeed in,
they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission.”
I wish I could tell you this is an uncommon story, but kids all over the world admit they are under great
pressure to be perfect. When I was traveling in China last fall and asked a Chinese student what she did for fun, she
replied: “I thought I wasn’t supposed to tell you that? I wouldn’t want you to think I am not serious about my
work!”
Students are usually in shock when I laugh and tell them I never expect perfection. Of course, this goes against
everything they’ve been told. How could a dean (院长) of admission at one of America’s most selective institutionsnot want the best and the brightest? The reality is, perfection doesn’t exist, and we don’t expect to see it in a college
application. In fact, admission officers tend to question students who present themselves as individuals without
shortcomings.
We get the most excited when we read an application that seems real. It’s so rare to hear stories of defeat. If
their perspectives are of lessons learned, these applicants tend to jump to the top at highly selective colleges. We
believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.
4. What can we learn about the student in the first two paragraphs?
A. He is taught not to take risks.
B. He tries to avoid any chance of failure.
C. He cares little about his academic futures
D. He is seldom allowed to take part in activities.
5. Why does the author mention the Chinese student in paragraph 3?
A. To emphasize the importance of hard work.
B. To compare students from different countries.
C. To give an example of the students he favors.
D. To illustrate the widespread stress on students
6. What is probably admission officers’ attitude towards a perfect application?
A. Doubtful. B. Confused. C. Favorable. D. Casual.
7. What is the key to success in college according to the author?
A. A desire for perfection
B. The ability to learn from defeats.
C. The opportunity of making mistakes.
D. An experience of defeat in high school
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B
