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. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools 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.

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1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 肇庆龙外高中部2024届高三第三次高考模拟测试 英 语 试 卷 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.

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题详解】 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题详解】 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题详解】 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。 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”? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【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。 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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了停止将自己与他人进行比较的几种方法。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“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?(不要再拿自己和别人比较，注意那些导致你行为的人和事。看完奢侈品后，你会对自己的生活感到不满吗？)”可知，为了避免与他人进行比较，要弄清楚这种行为的原因，进而用提问的形式列出原因，结合空后的“Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether.(一旦你有了比较的想法，就把它们写下来，这样你就可以限制自己接触这些情况，或者完全避免它们。)”可知，一旦出现这种相比较的想法，就把它写下来，由此可知，此空处继续列处产生与别人比较的想法，F选项“Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself?(有没有总是让你感觉不好的人？)”为一般疑问句，与空前的结构一致，且表达的内容为让人们产生比较想法的原因。故选F项。 【17题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，所以，此空处与其它段落的主题句一样为祈使句，根据空后的“To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself.(为了避免这种消极的行为，列出你的优点和才能。通过承认自己最好的品质，你可以学会爱自己。)”可知，为避免与他人比较，建议列出自己的优点和才能，A选项“Write down your positive qualities.(写下你积极的品质。)” 为祈使句且，其中的positive qualities与本段的内容一致。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule.(写感恩日记可以增加你克服攀比的机会，但如果你的日程很忙，你可能会忘记这一点。)”可知，写感恩日记能帮助克服攀比的机会，但是，很忙的时候，可能会忘记，G选项“Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation.(设置一个提醒，每周至少写一次，这样你就可以积极地表达感激之情。)”可知，此处的write与本段的主题句“Keep a gratitude journal.(写感恩日记)”内容相关，为解题的关键，同时，此处解决了空前出现的遗忘写感恩日记的问题，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Work on improving your abilities.(努力提高自己的能力。)”可知，本段建议提升自己的能力，E选项“Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques.(参加课程或研讨会来发展你的技能和技巧。)”讲述的内容是发展自己的技能和技巧，与本段的主题improve your abilities吻合。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据空后的“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.(如果你有一些非常成功的朋友，你可能会想到他们的社交网络中充满了能够帮助你在生活中变得更成功的人。)”可知，此处讲述的是利用好朋友社交网络中的人，这些人能够帮助你变得更成功，C选项“Consider the advantage that others can bring you.(考虑别人能给你带来的好处。)”讲述的是考虑一下其他人给你带来的好处，与空后列举的情况吻合。故选C项。 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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The man looked surprised. “Yes, ma’am,” he said. “How may I help you?” “Twenty years ago I came here for my thirteenth birthday,” Jean explained. “You spoke to Mr Fargonetti and he gave us a wonderful lunch for free. 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.
