Based on the dystopian YA (Young Adult Fiction) by Suzanne Collins, the prequel is set 64 years before the previous Hunger Games films.

Bright worlds that you haven’t seen before, “ the Director Nia DaCosta told Total film.Released internationally from 8 NovemberWishWalt Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary with a cartoon that includes the themes and animation styles of the studio’s first century.

But a 17-year-old girl, Asha (Ariana DeBose), questions whether the king should keep that power all to himself. She wishes on a star-and the star then falls from the sky to help her. Buck told Jackson Murphy at Animation Scoop that the film is “kind of our love letter to Disney, to Walt.”Released internationally from 22 November.NapoleonRidley Scott’s 28th film is an epic biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Joaquin Phoenix as the French general, and V anessa Kirby as his wife Josephine.

I was initiated into it, quite unintentionally, when I was looking for a convenient way to store my research material. I have since been busy communicating with my readers and students through the net. I can hardly believe it myself that a technophobe like me could somehow get engaged with the most modern technology!Our son has left for university and our spoilt daughter has gone overseas. Since they left home the net has become the best way for our family to communicate and share our feelings.We started off sending messages by email only -just to say hello, to seek help and to caution. Messages such as: “Please have a look at this email. I can’t open it. “Or, one that I sent to my daughter says: “So you rang to say you’d lost your credit card. The very thing that I’ve been worrying about! If you don’t try hard to mend your careless ways, you’ll wake up one morning and find that you’ve lost your brain as well.”And my son’s messages are typical in their sensational (耸人听闻的) headings, such as “Help me please!” “Help again, please!” They are always about money, no different from the notes he left when he was young. My daughter, on the other hand, would persuade her elder brother like a grand old lady: “Don’t upset Mum when I’m not home. Go back to see Mum and Dad every now and then. They’ve only got you and me.”Recently, our son has been emailing me all kinds of articles: funny, touching,intellectual. . . the lot. Recommended rending, he said, which would help me understand my students’ ideas and keep abreast of the times, so I wouldn’t be written off as over-the-hill too soon. I read the articles religiously, like an obedient pupil. I appreciate my son’s good will with mixed feelings. The kid I was bombarding with newspaper clippings not that long ago has now become my mentor! He must be thinking that his mother is still willing to embrace new ideas. That makes me fecl proud, despite the confusing sense of role reversal that I have.Through the net, we chat, exchange ideas and encourage each other with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I sit in front of the computer and read those instant messages, I feel warmth welling up in my heart and a profound gratitude to modem technology.4．The author got acquainted with the net initially to ________.A．keep pace with the times B．communicate with her readersC．meet academic needs D．exchange ideas with her children 5．Why did the author mention so many messages in paragraph 3?A．To show her daughter’s immaturity.B．To indicate the net’s influence on her.C．To blame her daughter’s carelessness.D．To express her love for her children.6．Which of the following can best describe the author in the son’s eyes?A．Flexible.B．Well-educated.C．Obedient.D．Old-fashioned. 7．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．It Is the Power of the Net B．Technology Changes LifeC．Here Comes a Cyber Mum D．Mum’s Role ChangesYoung children are always watching-including when people swap spit through actions like food sharing. Such behavior helps babies infer who is in close relationships with one another, a study suggests.Typically, people are more likely to engage in activities that can lead to an exchange of saliva (唾液), such as kissing or sharing an ice cream, with family members or close friends than with an acquaintance. So saliva sharing can be a marker of “thick relationships, “ or people with strong attachments, says MIT developmental psychologist Ashley Thomas.To see if young children might use saliva sharing as a social cue for close bonds,Thomas and colleagues ran experiments of people engaging with puppets(木偶). When shown a puppet seemingly crying, kids of 8 months old were more likely to look at an adult who had previously shared saliva with the puppet than an adult who hadn’t, the team reports.Scientists, of course, can’t know exactly babies’ thought. But tracking where they look offers hints. The team used where the kids looked first when a puppet showed distress as an indicator of their understanding of the relationship.In some experiments, the team showed 8-to 10-month-olds or 16-to 18-month-olds videos of a woman sharing an orange slice with a puppet. A second video depicted another woman and the puppet playing with a ball. During a final video, which showed the puppet crying while seated between the two women, the kids’ eyes were more often drawn to the woman who had shared the orange.The team saw similar results in another experiment. One woman stuck her finger in her mouth and then in one puppet’s mouth to share saliva. For the other, she touched only her forehead and then the puppet’s forehead. After the woman showed distress, kids spent more time looking at the puppet that had seemingly swapped saliva.It’s unclear how the findings relate to children’s daily lives. Future studies could switch out actresses for family members to better understand the role saliva may play in distinguishing relationships. Other cues, such as hugging, may also play a role, Thomas says. 8．What is the main finding of the study?A．Saliva-sharing behavior is a cultural phenomenon.B．Saliva-sharing is an indicator of trust between individuals.C．Saliva-sharing can help children distinguish close relationship.D．Children can understand relationships through saliva-sharing behavior.9．What does Ashley Thomas think of saliva sharing?A．It is a natural behavior for young children.B．It can be an indicator of strong attachments between people.C．It is a cultural behavior young children learn from their parents.D．It is a result of the development of young children’s social skills.10．Which method do the scientists apply when conducting the experiments?A．Comparison.B．Reference.C．Inference.D．Description. 11．What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A．The limitations of the current study.B．The importance of saliva in social relationships.C．The role of other cues in distinguishing relationships.D．Saliva sharing can affect children’s social development.After Alexander Pushkin was shot in a duel (决斗) in 1837, crowds of mourners formed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagon carrying the much loved poet’s body reached Pskov province, where he was to be buried, admirers tried to pull the vehicle themselves.Today’s celebrity funerals tend to involve the public largely digitally rather than in person. But people are passionate all the same. In the past few months, grief has coursed around the internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational.Unlike other kinds of grief, this one is not rooted in personal intimacy (亲密关系). If you ever interacted with a cherished author, it was probably during a book tour when she signed your copy of her novel. Maybe you once locked eyes with a musician during a live concert and he smiled at you, but actually he did not even know you.Objectively, sorrow makes sense when a star dies young or violently. Had she not died at 27, who knows what music Amy Winehouse would have added to her already impressive collections of work? The death of a long-lived and fulfilled artist, however, is far from the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output. Why, then, are these losses felt so widely and keenly?One interpretation is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part of your past —the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally (盟友) — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied.More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default (默认) tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists.12．Why does the author mention Milan Kundera and Michael Gambon in paragraph 2?A．To prove that celebrities’ funerals tend to attract wider public attention.B．To illustrate why people express their sadness at the loss of those celebrities.C．To demonstrate that people’s mourning for celebrities seems strange andunreasonable.D．To show that people’s grief over celebrities’ death is ridiculous and impractical. 13．The underlined phrase “sink into oblivion” in paragraph 4 probably means ________.A．are upset B．are desperate C．are helpless D．are forgotten 14．What can we learn from the passage?A．People won’t mourn for celebrities unless they have intimate relationships withcelebrities.B．It’s natural that people mourn for celebrities dying young but not for those long-lived ones.C．People feel sad for the passing of celebrities because of the mental nourishmentreceived.D．People attend celebrities’ funerals, either in person or on the Internet, to express their loyalty.15．What’s the author’s attitude towards public mourning for the celebrities?A．Supportive.B．Disapproving.C．Skeptical.D．Concerned.When you look ahead at the year to come, I hope you focus on all the positives even if the negatives exist, because positive thinking can help you get where you want to go.Positive thinking is not the same as optimism. Being optimistic means believing that everything is going to work out great. But positive thinking is more than that. It’s a mindset or a way of looking at the world and what you do. 16To think positively, first of all, we need to look at problems, mistakes and failures as normal. Imagine you bomb a big job interview. A negative thinker will be upset by the fact that he didn’t get the job. 17 He will analyze what he did and figure out how to do it better next time. And he’ll also think about what he did well and try to repeat and improve on those successes. This means focusing on the big picture.One trick to positive thinking is to imagine how you’ll think back to things that are happening now. 18 There are bad things that happened last year that you can probably laugh about now. You understand what was a big deal and what was not. Try to do that in the present.19 A negative thinker will focus on the past, especially past failures. But the pastcannot be changed. It’s done and dusted. The future, however, is yet to be written. And that’s where the positive thinker will focus his attention.Positive thinking is a mental habit. It takes practice. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the future and on possibility. 20 But if you can do it, there are some great payoffs: greater confidence, a better chance of success, better health condition as well as a better quality of life.A．A positive thinker will learn from the experience.B．Negative thinkers will look at failures as end points.C．Positive thinking often means separating the past and the future.D．It’s a belief in possibility, solutions to problems and the big picture.E．Sometimes, it’s hard to learn from our failures or see the big picture.F．We can see the power of positive thinking when it comes to problem-solving.G．You know from experience that the passing of time brings a fresh perspective.二、完形填空Having been a teacher for 25 years, I think I’ve taught my students the importance of good citizenship, to play by the 21 .

He went through life accepting the mixture of good things and bad things. He never looked for any explanation or reason about why things happened just the way they did.One morning Nikos woke up. He started to shave, as he did every morning, but then he noticed that the mirror on the bathroom wall wasn’t quite straight. He tried to adjust it, but as soon as he touched it, the mirror fell off the wall and hit the floor with a huge crash. It broke into a thousand pieces. Nikos knew that some people thought this was unlucky. “Seven years’ bad luck,” they said, “when a mirror broke.” But Nikos didn’t care.After that he went to make himself a sandwich, which needed some tomato sauce. When he picked up a jar of tomato sauce, it fell from his hand. Tomato sauce was everywhere. Some people, he knew, thought that this was also supposed to bring bad luck. But Nikos didn’t care.On his way to work, he saw a black cat running away from him. He didn’t care.Even though Nikos wasn’t superstitious, he thought that something bad was certain to happen to him today. He told everybody at work what had happened. “Something bad will happen to you today,” they all said. But nothing bad happened to him.That evening, his friend thought Nikos was going to have bad things. However, whatever they played, Nikos won. “Go on then, Nikos,” his friend shouted, “use all the money you have won to buy some lottery tickets!” Nikos did it. The next day, everybody was watching the draw for the lottery on TV. The first number came out, for the third prize. It was Nikos’ number. Then the second number, for the second prize. It was Nikos’ number. Then the first prize. It was Nikos’ number as well.He WON all three of the big lottery prizes!4．The following things are thought of as the signs of unluck EXCEPT ________.A．A black cat B．A sandwich with tomato sauceC．A broken mirror D．Spilt tomato sauce5．What does the underlined word “superstitious” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Not studying or looking at things thoroughly.B．Controlling bad luck to become good fortune.C．Believing certain events bring good or bad luck.D．Taking actions to keep bad things from occurring.6．Why did Nikos’ friend recommend him to buy lottery tickets?A．To test his luck.B．To change his fortune.C．To bring in more money.D．To use up all the money.7．What can we infer from the passage?A．Nikos went to great lengths to know what lay behind all the things.B．The mirror on the bathroom wall broke into pieces out of no reason.C．The occasional things failed to convince Nikos of the coming bad luck.D．Nikos’ story tells what happens in life has nothing to do with the evil signs.The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries.Words on paper are not a language. A language lives through the people who speak it. So Baird founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project. She teaches community classes and family camps. Kids in grade school and high school have the opportunity to learn the language.The Wampanoags have lived for 12,000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表).Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. In 2010, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, earning a “genius grant” to further her work.“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.”“I might have been afraid to do the work had I known that,” Baird says with a laugh now. “But I didn’t, and so here we are.”8．What is the situation of the Wampanoag language?A．It has entirely gone by now.B．It is being brought back to life.C．It is a compulsory course in schools.D．It has got well-recognized in the USA．9．What may contribute to the downfall of Wampanoag?A．The wide use of English in the new land.B．The religious change of the Wampanoags.C．The sharp reduced population of Wampanoag.D．The shortage of reference books on the language.10．What’s the key element of saving the Wampanoag language?A．The local linguists lend a timely hand.B．Children are asked to learn the language.C．The government gives the financial support.D．The materials ancestors left lay the foundation.11．Which of the following words can best describe Jessie Baird?A．Determined and responsible B．Considerate and ambitiousC．Intelligent and kind-hearted D．Independent and adaptableA poll of 2,000 UK adults found more than one third (36%) admit to rarely, or never, reading cookies or terms and conditions online before accepting them. And of those who do, 38% spend a mere 30 seconds or less scanning through. About 31% simply can’t be bothered to read the small print, while about one quarter (26%) claim they do not have the time.It also emerged that 85% have accepted cookies on a website without reading the policies or making any changes, and that 62% will accept despite not knowing what they are agreeing to.The research was commissioned (委托) by Avast, which has teamed up with baking star Prue Leith to help educate Internet users about digital cookies. She has created a limited run of her chocolate chip cookies, which are free for people to order online and come with tips and tricks on how to scan the digital kind of cookies.Prue Leith said, “While recent times have highlighted the importance of being connected online, it’s also never been more important for people to feel safe while doing so. Many people of all ages, but particularly of my generation, aren’t as familiar with certain aspects of the Internet, and this of course includes digital cookies. This can prove to be a barrier to learning about everything that being online has to offer, so I am absolutely delighted to be working with Avast to help people understand what cookies are and how they work.”The survey also found half of adults are “fed up” with being asked to accept cookies when landing on a web page, although 30% find it helpful that cookies remember information such as passwords and preferences. But 29% are confused by cookie policies, and 70% even believe websites intentionally try to confuse them with the language they use. However, over two thirds (68%) feel they could be risking their online privacy when accepting a “cookie policy” without reading it. As a result, three quarters (75%) think Internet users need to be better educated on what is included in cookie policies.12．Prue Leith baked a limited run of cookies to ________.A．promote her baked products online.B．offer free cookies to people in need.C．maintain the cooperation with Avast.D．spread the knowledge on digital cookies. 13．How does the author present the result of the research?A．By conducting polls.B．By listing statistics.C．By exploring phenomenon and nature.D．By analyzing causes and effects.14．What will the author tell in the following paragraph?A．The side effects of leaking personal privacy.B．The gravity of fully accepting digital cookies.C．The drawbacks of overlooking digital cookiesD．The specific tips on how to read digital cookies.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To remind netizens to pay more attention to digital cookies.B．To appeal to consumers to be concerned about the online tricks.C．To advocate caring for the generation unfamiliar with the Internet.D．To advise the Internet companies to revise digital cookies policies.二、七选五“We are becoming the people we wanted to be,” Gloria Steinem, a journalist and social activist, declared in the 1970s. So have women really become the people they wanted to be?understanding, here are some true data about women at work.17One of the great changes in gender equality is taking place in education. More women graduate from high school, attend and graduate from college. In 1994, 63 percent of female high school graduates and 61 percent of male high school graduates were enrolled in college the following fall, according to the Pew Research Center. By 2012, that number for women jumped to 71 percent, but remained unchanged for males, at 61 percent.The wage gap between males and females is still existing.Even as more women are flooding onto college campuses, here’s a disappointing trend.18 But there still is a gap between their earnings and men’s earnings. Women in professional specialty occupations earn 72.7 percent of what men in the same position earn.Is there any place women earn the same as men?No. Unfortunately, there is no such place. But it can be to a woman’s advantage to work in a labor union. 19 So, while there is a gap, it’s much less than in professions without unions, where women make 72 percent of men’s incomes.Women bring home more income.20 Over 40 percent of moms are now the sole or primary source of income in U.S. households. Women are now the primary or co-money-maker in nearly two-thirds of American families and working married women bring home 44 percent of their family income.A．Education is specially significant for women.B．Women are taking higher education by storm.C．It is a fact that women climb higher in the work world now.D．An increasing number of women have joined the workforce.E．More than ever before, women are the breadwinners in the household.F．Today, 30 percent of all the businesses are owned and operated by women.G．Women who work in unionized professions make 82 percent of men’s incomes.三、完形填空As I held my boy in the arms to rock him to sleep, he had his arms wrapped around me35 any day for granted. Thank God for giving me the opportunity to take care of such a life.21．A．selfless B．unconditional C．independent D．adorable 22．A．acquired B．ensured C．prayed D．possessed 23．A．adopt B．deliver C．raise D．abandon 24．A．approached B．accompanied C．spied D．whispered 25．A．bring up B．hold up C．pick up D．give up 26．A．considered B．approved C．rejected D．ranked 27．A．casually B．merely C．straight D．suddenly 28．A．abnormal B．awful C．awesome D．unforgiving 29．A．bounced B．bent C．bounded D．bonded 30．A．released B．retired C．withdrawn D．departed 31．A．positive B．odd C．native D．precious 32．A．royal B．genuine C．final D．decent 33．A．originally B．legally C．ethnically D．precisely 34．A．overcome B．blessed C．occupied D．rewarded 35．A．waste B．spend C．regret D．take四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

江苏省海安高级中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解North Rim to reopen on June 2 with limited services availableNews Release Date: May 17, 2023Contact: Joëlle Baird, 928-606-3154Grand Canyon, ArizThe North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park will open as scheduled, on June 2, with limited visitor services and water conservation measures due to a break in the North Rim water pipeline. A landslide from winter storms destroyed more than 300 feet of the North Rim waterpipeline.Visitor ServicesThe Grand Canyon Lodge will operate day-use services with limited food and beverage service beginning on June 2. No overnight accommodations will be available until at least July 23, 2023.The North Rim Campground, managed by the National Park Service, will operate as scheduled beginning on June 9 with potable drinking water and toilets available. The public laundry and shower facilities will not be open at least through July 23, 2023.The North Rim Visitor Center and Grand Canyon Conservancy’s bookstore open as usual, 8 am to 6 pm daily, with a variety of ranger programs offered.Visitors exploring the North Rim this summer should be self-sufficient and should bring adequate food and water for the day as services are limited and may be subject to change. Nearby, accommodating is available at the Kaibab Lodge and food services and fuel at the North Rim Country Store. Year-round accommodating, food services and fuel are located 45 miles north of the North Rim at Jacob Lake. As a result of substantial winter rockfall and landslides, trail (步道) repair work on the North Kaibab Trail continues. There is a trail closure in effect on the North Kaibab Trail and it will officially reopen on June 16, 2023.1．Which was not affected and opens as usual?A．The public laundry.B．The Grand Canyon Lodge.C．The North Kaibab Trail.D．The North Rim Visitor Center.2．What can we learn about the North Kaibab Trail from the text?A．It offers food service.B．It is around Jacob Lake.C．It is under repair now.D．It opens all the year around.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To warn visitors of the oncoming landslide.B．To inform visitors of schedules of some attractions.C．To appeal to more visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park.D．To advertise the products of the Grand Canyon National Park.It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing?Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes.You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularlyand find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard.Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 4．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Pleasant.B．challenging.C．Awful.D．Boring.5．What bothered the author when winter came?A．The cold weather influenced her working performance.B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste.C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety.D．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics.6．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job?A．To escape from the current pain.B．To satisfy our temporary interests.C．To explore where our strength lies.D．To pursue what we really desire. 7．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Cautious.D．Unclear.“Why does grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fiun to learm.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong?My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C．Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They aresensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.8．What is a common problem among fourth graders?A．They upset their parents too often.B．They ask too many strange questions.C．Their love for fun disappears quickly.D．Their desire to learn declines sharply. 9．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?A．They control children’s sensitivity.B．They slightly change in early childhood.C．They hardly support children’s reasoning.D．They develop through children’s questioning. 10．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil?A．By monitoring their games.B．By welcoming inquiring minds.C．By estimating their abilities.D．By providing reasonable conclusions. 11．What is the text?A．A book review.B．A news report.C．A research paper.D．A children’s story.Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealingmore about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive(侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist them change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.12．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．Shaping the image of an Oversharer.B．Stressing the importance of boundaries.C．Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk.D．Presenting different opinions about sharing.13．Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?A．They want sympathy from others.B．They see it as a way to break the ice.C．They are curious about others’ sufferings.D．They long for closer connections with others.14．What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?A．Ignore their comments.B．Demanding an apology.C．Declaring your boundaries.D．Criticizing their rudeness.15．What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?A．To check her friend’s boundary.B．To show admiration for her friend.C．To learn from her friend’s experience.D．To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 16 This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 17As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 18 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.19 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 20 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.A．Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.B．It extends learning far beyond textbooks.C．Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.D．Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.E．Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.F．Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.G．These activities bring learning to life.二、完形填空Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree.

My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.“What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It isa beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful anddeepened my appreciation for family and friends.There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart. 4．How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son?A．Curious.B．Relieved.C．Guilty.D．Dissatisfied. 5．What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift?A．The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.B．The recognition of her own potential.C．The skirt that matches the blouse.D．The praise from Jason.6．After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.A．careful about choosing giftsB．indifferent to receiving giftsC．joyful about choosing giftsD．grateful for receiving gifts7．What can we learn from this passage?A．What suits you is best for you.B．Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.C．An open mind is the source of progress.D．Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.Eating a plant- based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts.Which makes the findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time.“Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (cardiovascular disease),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement.While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements.“Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)… related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said.Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion“Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement.“The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email.“One thing that has become clear over the past decade is we should not be looking at single food s or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein.8．What can we learn from the new study led by Feng?A．It followed a young UK person for 13 years.B．Its findings came as no surprise to other people.C．It overturned the conclusion of previous studies.D．Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people.9．What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect?A．It was totally made up by some researchers.B．It still held true despite some different findings.C．It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle.D．It was a misconception caused by differences in people.10．Which of following is closest in meaning to underlined phrase“ take exception to”?A．V oice objections to.B．Add details to.C．Display ignorance of.D．Take notice of.11．What did Lichtenstein think of the study?A．It was groundbreaking.B．It was one- sided.C．It would cause confusion.D．It needed more evidence.I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging.The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that.In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact.The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment.Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much ofwhich is often done on an entirely voluntary basis.12．What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years?A．Telling attractive stories.B．Lecturing on many topics.C．Sharing his values and attitude.D．Being experienced and respected. 13．What is important for the future of medical education?A．Appealing nature of medicine.B．Well-rounded clinical trainings.C．Hands-on non-virtual experiences.D．Students’ special personal talents. 14．According to paragraph 5, what worries the author?A．Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are.B．Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching.C．Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction.D．Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered.15．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance.B．The debates over necessity of virtual medical education.C．The problems of medical students, low employment rate.D．The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education.In the modem world, we are encouraged to be busy and as productive as possible. Most of us probably feel the pressure to perform efficiently. 16 Faster doesn’t equal better. And being busier does not mean we are more productive. We might also struggle to slow down. So how do we slow down? Here are some science-based strategies to try.Take intentional pauses. Taking intentional pauses can lead to better outcomes. It turns out that when teachers pause after asking a question and after receiving a response, it improves students’ use of language and logic. This suggests that we should give ourselves a bit more time to think through the questions we encounter in life. 17Spend less time on your phone. We often feel tired and need a break from our busy day, so we pick up our phones. We surf through social media, the news, or shopping websites. 18 That’s the opposite of slowing down. To start, it would do us some good to spend less time on our phones. Then, it also matters a lot how we spend time on our phones. Are we stimulating our brainwith information or anger? Or are we using our phones to relax and recover?19 Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed by life, s fast pace, the true source of that chaos often lies within our own minds. Maybe we’re running over what we’ll say to our coworker tomorrow. 20 One effective strategy to aid this process can be daily journaling — we get those thoughts out of our heads and onto paper. We might also go for a run or take a cold shower — two techniques that can help our brains change direction and start thinking differently.A．Slow down your mind.B．Write down your thoughts.C．And being busier means that we are more productive.D．Thus, we are more likely to come up with better answers.E．But all that these activities do is make our heads even fuller.F．Sometimes we just need to stop briefly and reset our thought.G．But this feeling of “time urgency” actually leads us to perform worse.二、完形填空Rob made ends meet for his family as a handyman, doing odd jobs around the area.

One day, a boy went to him and showed his gratitude by singing a song, which deeply touched Barnett’s heart. “When I went back to Canada and people were not interested in Uganda, I remembered the small boy. I knew that if some Ugandan children could travel to the West, people would be deeply moved and would certainly want to help,” Barnett recalls. In April 1984, Barnett and a team of volunteers travelled back to Uganda to select 31 children who would become the first African Children’s Choir.In September 1984, the choir arrived in North America and achieved more throughout their tour than Barnett could imagine. They inspired audiences with their stories through music, dance and drama and raised enough funds to open a children’s home in Uganda. This provided a stable environment and a quality education for the choir children and other children who needed care.While Barnett had thought of the choir as a one-time attempt, the choir’s instant popularity and the ongoing needs in Uganda convinced him to continue with choir work. In 1985, a second choir was selected from an orphanage home in Makerere, Kikoni, and the African Children’s Choir began another tour. Its success meant it was able to provide for many children beyond those in the choir.Over the next years, six more homes were established to cater for vulnerable children. A number of special literacy schools were established where the children learned how to read and write, and gained confidence and skills. The organization next established a sponsorshipprogramme to help the children move further in their schooling.In 1990, the African Children’s Choir spread its wings and opened in Kenya. In 1994, it opened in Rwanda. In 1996, it opened another branch in South Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. Currently, the African Children’s Choir is made up of 44 choirs, each with between 17-24 members, both boys and girls aged between 7-15.4．Why did Barnett return to Uganda in 1984?A．To provide humanitarian aid to the area.B．To search for the boy he had met before.C．To organize a choir to help poor children.D．To send donations from Canadians to Uganda.5．How was the children’s first performance?A．It was an unexpected hit.B．It barely covered its costs.C．It was an ordinary attempt.D．It was enjoyed by orphans.6．What can we infer about the African Children’s Choir from the last two paragraphs?A．It is well-received by local parents and schools.B．It has grown rapidly and more kids benefit from it.C．It suffers financial difficulty and requires sponsoring.D．It pays more attention to kids’ schooling instead of music.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A great choir brings hope to African kids.B．Music is a bridge across different cultures.C．The African Children’s Choir changes Africa.D．Music can shake off poverty and bring happiness.In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting sustainable lifestyles. This global trend is fueled by various factors, ranging from heightened environmental awareness to economic advantages.A primary driver behind the rise of green living is the increasing awareness of environmental issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. As people become more informed about the harmful effects of carbon emissions, deforestation, and pollution, there isa collective push toward adopting practices that minimize ecological impact.Beyond environmental concerns, there are some economic motives driving the shift toward sustainability. For instance, energy-efficient technologies and practices can significantly reduce utility bills over time, making them financially advantageous for homeowners and businesses alike. Additionally, governments and organizations often offer some financial stimuli such as tax credits and subsidies (补贴) to encourage the development and adoption of renewable energy sources.For example, solar energy has emerged as a frontrunner in the renewable energy sector, attracting widespread interest from homeowners and businesses seeking clean energy solutions. Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The declining costs of solar technology, coupled with advancements in efficiency and storage capabilities, have made solar panels increasingly practical and cost-effective.Consumer attitudes and preferences are also factors driving the demand for sustainable products and services. Millennials (千禧一代) and Generation Z, in particular, prioritize environmental responsibility and prefer to support businesses that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. This shift has urged businesses across various sectors to integrate eco-friendly practices into their operations, from sustainable sourcing to waste reduction initiatives.Moreover, the power of social influence cannot be underestimated in shaping consumer behavior towards sustainability. Social media platforms and online communities arouse awareness about environmental issues and show innovative green solutions. Individuals are increasingly motivated by peer examples, fostering a collective movement towards greener lifestyles.These living practices reflects a global commitment to sustainability. By choosing to integrate sustainable practices and technologies into everyday life, individuals and communities can contribute to lessening climate change and creating a healthier planet for future generations. 8．What is the result when the government offers financial stimuli according to the text?A．Green energy will be more accessible and affordable.B．It will bring too much financial burden to the government.C．Technology companies will make much progress in their field.D．Traditional fossil fuels will give way to renewable energy entirely.9．What is true about the consumer behavior according to paragraphs 5 and 6?A．Older generations have a more sustainable lifestyle.B．Peers make little difference in shaping consumer behavior.C．Social influence promises to drive changes in consumer preferences.D．The eco-friendly practices of companies cause the shift of consumer behavior. 10．What is the purpose of the text?A．To initiate a process.B．To list some reasons.C．To address concerns.`D．To analyze a dilemma.11．What is the suitable title of the text?A．Keeping Sustainable Development: The Strategic Goals for the Globe.B．Protecting the Environment: An Everlasting Topic throughout the World.C．Promoting Ourselves: A Better and More Advanced World in Store for Us.D．Embracing Green Living: The Growing Movement towards Sustainability.Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today.The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human.The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us withthe knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now.12．What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1?A．The fear of the past.B．The ignorance of history.C．The exclusion of the present.D．The dissatisfaction of society.13．What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2?A．Consequences of overlooking history.B．Significance of mastering all subjects.C．Insights from history for today and tomorrow.D．Resolutions of the current international issues.14．Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with?A．Critical thinking is key to studying history well.B．Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum.C．Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools.D．Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history.15．What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean?A．The historical sense can help us differentiate the news.B．People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate.C．We should make history curriculum more logical and critical.D．We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.A smartphone can be a lifeline in a natural disaster. 16 Unfortunately, many disasters like wildfires, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes take away the exact things phones rely on to do that work: electricity and cell services. Here are some of the best ways you can get your phone in the best shape to help you.Assume your electricity can go out at any time and plan accordingly. 17 If possible,leave them plugged in until the last minute. Also charge any backup batteries and laptops, then make sure all charging cords are collected in one place to take with you. If the power is out, or if you’re no longer someplace with an outlet, you’ll need to make any charges last as long as possible.18 Extreme cold and heat can cause your phone battery to be less efficient and even stop your phone from working. You’ll typically see a warning sign on the screen if this happens. If you can turn it off, don’t turn it back on until it’s back to an acceptable temperature. Whether it’s extreme cold or heat, avoid leaving your phone exposed and don’t leave it in a car.Your friends and family will want to know you are safe and your location in case you aren’t safe. Send your location with everyone over text, so they’ll know where to look if you lose contact. Make sure to include people outside of the disaster zone. If you are using a GPS location-sharing option, don’t just send your current spot one time. 19If you’re struggling to find reliable Internet connections, there are apps that could still help you stay in touch or give you helpful information. 20 For example, download the Google Maps information for surrounding areas in case you need to move fast and cell service isn’t available. Put in your main location, hit the three dots in the corner, select Download Offline Map. You can crop the exact area you think you’ll need.A．You should select the option to share it constantly.B．Charge your phone and any additional devices ahead of time.C．Don’t use your phone for a long time when in a natural disaster.D．It can connect you instantly to assistance and real-time resources.E．Most modern phones are sturdy but sensitive to their environments.F．Download and set them up early as part of your disaster preparation.G．If your phone gets wet, shake out any excess water and remove the battery.二、完形填空I was born with a genetic disease that causes severe weakness in my limbs.

The Pecan ThiefWhen I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s farm inKansas. Grandpa had sent me into the 16 to gather pecans for us toenjoy later.Pecan picking was really 17 work and my little basket was onlyhalf full. I wasn’t about to 18 Grandpa down. Just then somethingcaught my 19 . A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched ashe picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and 20 in a large hole in thetrunk. A moment later the squirrel 21 out and climbed down to theground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.Not so 22 any more, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 23 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 24 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 25 of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. 26 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d 27 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that 28 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently 29 my shoulders.“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 30 of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will 31 the cold winter? ”“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take 32 of someone else’s hard work.”Suddenly I felt a bit 33 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t 34 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filing—the 35 of knowing I had done just the right thing.16．A．rooms B．woods C．holes D．roads17．A．hard B．dirty C．light D．easy18．A．let B．settle C．have D．keep19．A．sweater B．basket C．eye D．hand20．A．joined B．lived C．discovered D．disappeared 21．A．jumped B．held C．stood D．found22．A．strange B．secret C．anxious D．patient23．A．covered B．filled C．rebuilt D．decorated24．A．turn B．choice C．chance D．achievement25．A．afraid B．ashamed C．careful D．proud26．A．Otherwise B．However C．Besides D．Therefore27．A．driven B．followed C．protected D．caught28．A．annoyed B．satisfied C．surprised D．delighted29．A．off B．beside C．over D．around30．A．supply B．cost C．support D．preparation 31．A．escape B．spend C．survive D．fled32．A．place B．notice C．advantage D．charge33．A．guilty B．unconfident C．embarrassed D．nervous34．A．open B．leave C．cross D．occupy 35．A．inspiration B．expectation C．impression D．satisfaction第三部分阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
