All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school. Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers? This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking. This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life. 4. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking? A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need. C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance. 5. What plays the most crucial role in school success? A. The course content. B. The school environment. C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking. 6. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4? A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to. 7. The book is organized according to ________. A. varieties of thinking tools B. types of life challenges C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers C “Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort. Its effects—shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension—are outright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us. We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a “good workout” is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy (疗法), which involves gradually encountering things that make one anxious, reducing fear over time. Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support”), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love. From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales. 8．What does the author say about anxiety? A．It is an invitation to diseases. B．It indicates stable mental health. C．It costs us many valuable chances. D．It is a natural emotional expression. 9．Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2? A．To prove how exercise influences emotions. B．To suggest an effective way to challenge limits. C．To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength. D．To show a positive connection between mind and body. 10．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The key to closeness is partners’ support. B．Sharing anxieties improves relationships. C．Humans are defined by their social nature. D．Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties. 11．According to the last paragraph, how can we deal with stress? A．Devote more energy to our work. B．Increase resources available to us. C．Seek professional medical treatment. D．Master advanced mathematical skills. D When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms (症状). Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines. When two or more drugs are used together, their interaction can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use. It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients, including pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient. While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups-including older adults, children and pregnant women-may be at greater risk. Older people who are using prescribed (处方的) drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicine to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death. 12. Why did the author mention the study in paragraph 1? A. To stress the easy access to OTC medicines. B. To explain the dangers of using OTC medicines. C. To emphasize the importance of OTC medicines. D. To prove the potential risks of using OTC medicines. 13. What advice does the author give to those who take different drugs at the same time? A. Turn to doctors for advice. B. Buy medicines from physicians. C. Take only one drug instead. D. Change the ingredients of drugs. 14. What can we infer from the text? A. Women cannot face aging positively. B. Children are more easily affected by diseases. C. Older people’s body cannot deal with medicines easily. D. People’s desire for health makes them take more medicine. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. OTC medicines may not be safe. B. Tips for taking over-the-counter drugs. C. How to deal with an OTC drug overdose? D. Should medicines be available “over the counter”? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for you to overcome comparison Identify your triggers (诱因) and avoid them. To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that cause your behavior. Do you feel discontent with your life after looking at luxury goods? 16 . Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether. 17 When you minimize your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself. Keep a gratitude journal. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy and write down why you're grateful for them. Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule. 18 Work on improving your abilities. Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. 19 Besides，don't be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. By prioritizing yourself, you can boost your self-confidence and find your place and value. Appreciate others instead of envying them. 20 If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help you become more successful in your life. Instead of envying their success, be supportive and use their success to your advantage. A. Write down your positive qualities. B. Do you set goals to achieve your dream? C. Consider the advantage that others can bring you. D. Recognize everyone's circumstances are entirely unique. E. Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques. F. Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself? G. Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My life is full and active taking care of my grandson.

After twelve years, she was among the best. Her father, Bob, was getting old, and she wanted to be near him. Jean accepted an offer from one of Washington’s top restaurants. The manager offered her a handsome salary, and 30% ownership of the restaurant. The next day, Jean went to sign the contract. As she got out of the car, she caught sight of a green sunshade. Instead of going to meet the manager, she crossed the street towards the old restaurant, Fargonetti’s. She pushed open the door and the memories came flooding back. Jean’s mum died when she was just 11, and her father lost his job and was forced to freelance (从事自由职业). Money was very short. When Jean turned thirteen, Bob had made a reservation at Fargonetti’s, the capital’s best restaurant. “I’m not hungry, baby girl. I had a huge breakfast,” Bob said. “This is all for you!” “Oh,” Jean cried. “Daddy was so silly! He’s been saving to come here for lunch for MONTHS and now he ruined his appetite with breakfast!” The waiter, Carl Bader, immediately realised what was going on and went to Mr Fargonetti, the restaurant owner, and told him about Jean and Bob. An hour later, surprisingly, the waiter brought wonderful dishes and set them before the father and daughter. “Lunch is on the house with Mr Fargoneti’s compliments (致意),” Carl said. For Bob and Jean, it was a free but magical meal. They were on cloud nine when they walked out. “Jean,“ said Bob happily. “I feel our luck has changed!” And it did! The next day, one of Bob’s old friends called and offered him a job at a new magazine, and Jean believed Fargonetti’s had made it all happen. That was when she decided to become a chef! Twenty years later, the old restaurant looked run-down and sad, but Jean recognised the waiter immediately. “Carl?” she asked delightedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The man looked surprised. Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind. 第 1 页 共 5 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语校三模答案解析 1-3 BBC 4-7 BDCA 8-11 DCBB 12-15 DACA 16-20 FAGEC 21—25 BCBDA 26—30 CBADC 31—35 DACDB 36. shapes 37. making 38. directly 39. to document 40. a 41. how 42. original 43. which 44.has applied 45. to 官方范文 Dear visiting guests, On behalf of all the students in our school, I’d like to express our warmest welcome to you.It' s really a great honor for us that you can come and join us in the Campus Traditional Cultural Festival.

B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍书中关于为什么要正确思维及如何正确思维。 4.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的”The problem is that when you are not aware of------if it is poor.”(问题是，当你没有意识到你的想法，你没有机会纠正它，如果它是糟糕的)。故选B 5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking.”（作为一个学生，决定你是否成功的唯一最重要的变量是你的思维质量。）故选D 6. 猜词题。根据第四段中的“This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. ”them应该指前文的the best thinkers，to begin to emulate them 表目的.故选C，take the example效仿 7. 推理题 综合最后两段，尤其第四段“Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.”故选A。 答案：8．D 9．C 10．B 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了焦虑虽然令人不舒服，但接受它对我们有帮助。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us.(恰恰相反：它是大脑和感官健康的指标。一旦我们接受这是生活中正常的一部分，尽管不舒服，我们就可以用它来帮助我们。)”可知，焦虑是一种正常的情感表露。故选D。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“By nature, a ‘good workout’ is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do.(从本质上讲，‘好的锻炼’是不舒服的，因为它涉及到将我们的体力推过我们可以轻松完成的事情。)”和“Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension.(同样，如果你想在情感上更坚强，你需要面对一些紧张。)”可知，好的锻炼需要挑战身体的舒适区，同样，要想在情感上更坚强，有必要面对一些紧张，由此可推测出，提到“好的锻炼”是为了说明焦虑是如何帮助增强情感力量的。故选C。 10．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., ‘I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support’), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.(人类是社会生物。当我的病人学会向他们的伴侣敞开心扉表达他们的焦虑时，他们几乎总是报告说有更大的情感亲密感。此外，正如国际关系专家Sue Johnson所教导的那样，当我们在充满挑战的时刻表达我们对联系的需求时（例如，‘我现在很难过，真的需要你的支持’），这会产生更大的联系，并将我们的焦虑转化为爱。)”可推出，本段主要讲述了分享焦虑有助于改善人际关系。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平) going out of balance.(简单地说，对我们的要求超过了我们现有的资源，就像一组天平失去平衡一样。)”和“The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.(处理压力的唯一解决方案是通过数学来平衡天平。)”可知，对我们的要求超过了我们现有的资源，所以天平失去了平衡，而唯一的方法是通过数学来平衡天平，由此可推测出，要增加可用的资源，以便达到平衡。故选B。 【答案】12 D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非处方药 (OTC) 如感冒和流感药物的风险，文章建议人们在使用OTC药品前要和医生确认是否安全。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.(尽管这些药物很容易获得并广泛使用，但许多人可能会惊讶地发现，它们并非没有风险。一项研究估计，每年有26000多人因非处方感冒药和咳嗽药相关的不良事件前往急诊室)”可知，这项研究是为了证明OTC药物也是有风险的，D选项（证明使用OTC药品的潜在危险）符合题意，故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use. (医生通常了解潜在的药物相互作用，因此患者询问他们的医疗保健提供者哪些OTC药物对他们来说是安全的是非常重要的)”可知，医生拥有医学知识，了解各种风险，所以在服用OTC药物之前，一定要和医生确认是否安全，故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. (衰老的身体不像年轻的身体那样擅长于吸收、分配和清除药物)”可知，老人的身体已经衰老，无法像年轻人那样高效地处理药品了，C选项（老年人的身体不容易处理药物）符合题意，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. (虽然这些药物容易获得并广泛使用，但许多人可能会惊讶地发现它们并非没有风险)”可知，OTC药物也是有风险的，A选项（OTC药物并非总是安全）符合题意，故选A项。 [语篇导读]本文是一 篇说明文。文章主要介绍了停止将自已与他人进行比较的几种方法。 16.F [解析] 此空选F和前一句构成排比句。 17.A[解析]此空选中心句。根据本节“make a list of your strengths and talents.

I’m so glad to have an opportunity to thank you!” Carl smiled, remembering Jean. He told Jean that Mr Fargonetti passed away five years ago, and he left Carl the restaurant. Carl had promised he would keep it going, and he tried, but it wasn’t that easy. Their chef left and the replacement was a disaster. Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind. “I’m a chef. I’m Jean Earl,” she said. “I’ll turn Fargonetti’s around! Let’s do it for Mr Fargonetti!” Carl’s mouth hung open. He knew Jean was famous and was afraid he couldn’t afford her. However, Jean just wanted to help, asking for no pay. Jean turned down the contract she’d been offered, and went to work at Fargonetti’s. Within a year, the old restaurant was booked solid, with waiting lists of celebrity customers. A kind gesture can change a life and bring good things to you. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jean的梦想是成为一名伟大的厨师，在她20岁的时候，她去了拥有世界上最著名的美食的法国学习烹饪。12年后，她跻身最优秀的行列，Jean接受了华盛顿一家顶级餐厅的邀请，在去签合同的路上她去了老餐馆Fargonetti’s，回忆起了在她13岁生日时这家餐馆的老板请自己吃过免费的午餐，Jean觉得这家老餐馆看起来很破旧，这时她认出了服务员Carl。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那人看起来很惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写Jean和Carl交谈，Jean告诉他过去的事情，Carl告诉她餐馆的现状。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jean盯着Carl，一个绝妙的主意在她脑海中逐渐成形。”可知，第二段可描写Jean提出帮助扭转餐馆的局面，并且做到了。 2.续写线索：告知以前吃免费午餐的情况——Carl想起Jean——Carl告诉Jean餐馆现状——Jean提出帮助餐馆——Jean拒绝已经被提供的工作——餐厅情况好转 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第 1 页 共 8 页 肇庆龙外高中部 2024 届高三第三次高考模拟测试 英 语 试 卷 命题人： 高三英语组 审题人：隆广元 陆 艳 注意事项： 1．本试卷共 8页，47 小题，满分为 120 分，考试用时 120 分钟。 2．答题前，请考生务必将答题卷左侧密封线内的项目填写清楚。请考生按规定用笔将所有试题的答 案涂、写在答题卷上，在试题卷上作答无效。 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 A Upcoming Events in Essex County Environmental Center LITTLE EXPLORERS Mondays -May 6, 20, June 3, 17 For ages 2 and 3; 10am to 1lam; For ages 2 and 5; 3pm to 4pm Join us for explorations of nature as we study plants and animals and observe the colors, shapes, and sounds in the Center's forest habitat.

All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking. Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school. Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers? This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking. This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life. 第 3 页 共 8 页 4. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking? A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need. C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance. 5. What plays the most crucial role in school success? A. The course content. B. The school environment. C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking. 6. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4? A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to. 7. The book is organized according to ________. A. varieties of thinking tools B. types of life challenges C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers C “Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort. Its effects—shortness of breath, pounding heart, muscle tension—are outright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxiety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we can use it to help us. We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a “good workout” is uncomfortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treatment for fear is exposure therapy (疗法), which involves gradually encountering things that make one anxious, reducing fear over time. Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness. Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need for connection during challenging moments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right now and could really use your support”), it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love. From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources, just like a set of scales (天平 ) going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales. 8．What does the author say about anxiety? 第 4 页 共 8 页 A．It is an invitation to diseases. B．It indicates stable mental health. C．It costs us many valuable chances. D．It is a natural emotional expression. 9．Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2? A．To prove how exercise influences emotions. B．To suggest an effective way to challenge limits. C．To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength. D．To show a positive connection between mind and body. 10．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The key to closeness is partners’ support. B．Sharing anxieties improves relationships. C．Humans are defined by their social nature. D．Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties. 11．According to the last paragraph, how can we deal with stress? A．Devote more energy to our work. B．Increase resources available to us. C．Seek professional medical treatment. D．Master advanced mathematical skills. D When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms (症状). Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, over 26,000 people went to the emergency room for adverse (有害的 ) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines. When two or more drugs are used together, their interaction can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use. It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复 ). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients, including pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient. While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups-including older adults, children and pregnant women-may be at greater risk. Older people who are using prescribed (处方的) drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicine to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young 第 5 页 共 8 页 children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death. 12.Why did the author mention the study in paragraph 1? A. To stress the easy access to OTC medicines. B. To explain the dangers of using OTC medicines. C. To emphasize the importance of OTC medicines. D. To prove the potential risks of using OTC medicines. 13.What advice does the author give to those who take different drugs at the same time? A. Turn to doctors for advice. B. Buy medicines from physicians. C. Take only one drug instead. D. Change the ingredients of drugs. 14.What can we infer from the text? A.Women cannot face aging positively. B. Children are more easily affected by diseases. C. Older people’s body cannot deal with medicines easily. D. People’s desire for health makes them take more medicine. 15.What is a suitable title for the text? A. OTC medicines may not be safe. B. Tips for taking over-the-counter drugs. C. How to deal with an OTC drug overdose? D. Should medicines be available “over the counter”? 第二节 （共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Tips for you to overcome comparison Identify your triggers (诱因 ) and avoid them. To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that cause your behavior. Do you feel discontent with your life after looking at luxury goods? 16 . Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether. 17 When you minimize your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself. Keep a gratitude journal. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy and write down why you're grateful for them. Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule. 18 Work on improving your abilities. Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. 19 Besides，don't be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. By prioritizing yourself, you can boost your self-confidence and find your place and value. Appreciate others instead of envying them. 20 If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help 第 6 页 共 8 页 you become more successful in your life. Instead of envying their success, be supportive and use their success to your advantage. A. Write down your positive qualities. B. Do you set goals to achieve your dream? C. Consider the advantage that others can bring you. D. Recognize everyone's circumstances are entirely unique. E. Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques. F. Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself? G. Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 My life is full and active taking care of my grandson.

After twelve years, she was among the best. Her father, Bob, was getting old, and she wanted to be near him. Jean accepted an offer from one of Washington’s top restaurants. The manager offered her a handsome salary, and 30% ownership of the restaurant. The next day, Jean went to sign the contract. As she got out of the car, she caught sight of a green sunshade. Instead of going to meet the manager, she crossed the street towards the old restaurant, Fargonetti’s. She pushed open the door and the memories came flooding back. Jean’s mum died when she was just 11, and her father lost his job and was forced to freelance (从事自由职业). Money was very short. When Jean turned thirteen, Bob had made a reservation at Fargonetti’s, the capital’s best restaurant. “I’m not hungry, baby girl. I had a huge breakfast,” Bob said. “This is all for you!” “Oh,” Jean cried. “Daddy was so silly! He’s been saving to come here for lunch for MONTHS and now he ruined his appetite with breakfast!” The waiter, Carl Bader, immediately realised what was going on and went to Mr Fargonetti, the restaurant owner, and told him about Jean and Bob. An hour later, surprisingly, the waiter brought wonderful dishes and set them before the father and daughter. “Lunch is on the house with Mr Fargoneti’s compliments (致意),” Carl said. For Bob and Jean, it was a free but magical meal. They were on cloud nine when they walked out. “Jean,“ said Bob happily. “I feel our luck has changed!” And it did! The next day, one of Bob’s old friends called and offered him a job at a new magazine, and Jean believed Fargonetti’s had made it all happen. That was when she decided to become a chef! Twenty years later, the old restaurant looked run-down and sad, but Jean recognised the waiter immediately. “Carl?” she asked delightedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The man looked surprised. Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind.
