Road-trip to one of these fantastic ski mountains this winter. Blue Hills Ski Area A ski day trip doesn’t get any easier than the Blue Hills Ski Area. It is the only snow sports facility in the metro area. Skiing and snowboarding are spread over its 60 skiable acres, 90% of which are equipped for snowmaking. The vertical drop is 309 feet and there are four lifts serving the 16 trails, most of which are for advanced skiers. There are lessons for kids and adults to help you get there. Crochet Mountain Resort It’s famous for signature “Midnight Madness” events and daily night skiing. It has an 875-foot vertical drop and 23 trails across 75 skiable acres. A great mountain for skiers, half its terrain is graded for intermediates with the rest being split between advanced and beginner terrain. Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort It’s the only one of ski resorts to be 100% powered by renewable energy sources. Skiers will find a 1,150-foot vertical drop, 45 trails, 3 terrain parks and 9 lifts across 167 skiable acres. The whole family can take lessons, enjoy dining or buy a ticket and go for a ride on the 3,600-foot Mountain Coaster! Smugglers’ Notch Smugglers’ Notch has a 2564-foot vertical drop, 78 trails, 5 terrain parks and 8 lifts spread across 1,000 skiable acres. Known as a full-service family-oriented resort, it offers plenty to do off mountain like ice skating, arts and crafts workshops and an indoor swimming pool! 1.

Ski with world champions. C. Enjoy stone sculptures. D. Ride a roller coaster. B A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that passenger vehicles are responsible for much of our greenhouse-gas emissions. I also knew that electric cars were an imperfect fix. Though they’re responsible for less carbon pollution than gas cars, their supply chain is carbon intensive. But an e-bike’s comparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissions and fewer resources. E-bikes are clearly better for the planet than cars of any kind. But I also viewed getting rid of my car as a sacrifice. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun. I was very wrong. The first thing I noticed was the savings. Between car payments, insurance, maintenance (保养), and gas, a car-centered lifestyle is expensive. I predict that we’ll save about $50,000 over the next five years by selling our car. The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising. In winter, I wear gloves, warm socks, a thick cap, and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. In summer, I didn’t break a sweat. I just used the throttle (油门), sat back, and enjoyed my ride. I arrived to work a little more lighthearted for having spent the morning in fresh air rather than traffic. I jumped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. 4 Why did the author change a car for an e-bike? A. He wanted to do something good for environment. B. He thought that e-bikes would replace gas vehicles. C. He couldn’t afford the expensive transportation costs. D. He believed e-bike’s supply chain was environment-friendly. 5. What did the author think he would sacrifice for the e-biking? A. The traffic safety. B. The traffic comfort. C. The traffic economy. D. The traffic convenience. 6 What is the author’s feeling about having ridden an e-bike for a year? A. Tolerant. B. Unexpected. C. Conservative. D. Compromising. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Changes Brought by an E-bike B. My Green Life for the Last Year C. The Replacement for Gas Vehicles D. Comparation Between Cars and E-bikes C Last Saturday, when my grandfather got frustrated at the name of the singer of a song, I grabbed my smartphone and found it in seconds. This astonished my grandfather, who didn’t understand how I’d checked the information so quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think about how much I depend on technology. When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point. Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university’s academic support team, we students are greatly benefited. When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they’ve always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens. 8. Why does the author mention the story of his grandfather? A. To share an interesting experience. B. To draw readers’ attention to the topic. C. To provide an example for his opinion. D. To arouse readers’ concern about a problem. 9. What is the grandfather’s attitude towards the role of technology? A. Favourable. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 10. What is a new challenge technology brings to the academic support team? A. Using various electronic devices. B. Scheduling online communication. C. Providing more flexible reading lists. D. Responding to all inquiries from students. 11. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Students should make full use of technology. B. Students should value the time and enjoy their life. C. We should take technological differences seriously. D. We should resist the temptation of up-coming innovation. D “When we watch TV shows or football games, we’re watching that information evolve over time, uncertain about how it’s all going to end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.” I wondered if higher curiosity would push people to seek, or to avoid, getting an immediate ‘spoiler (剧透)’.” Hsiung drew inspiration from short cooking videos that are popular on Instagram and TikTok, “These videos manage to develop a description and cliffhanger, so that you’re interested and curious about how food materials will all come together.” So Hsiung made a series of 30-second cartoon line-drawing videos that, like the cooking videos, eventually ended up as something highly recognizable, like a dog. More than 2,000 adults from across the U.S. then watched 25 of these short line-drawing videos online. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked along the way how curious they were, how they felt, and to guess what the drawing would become. Viewers also had a “spoiler” button to skip ahead to see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised to find that when people were curious, they avoided hitting the “spoiler” button and kept watching the drawings unfold. It was when people were less curious that they tended to opt for an instant answer. Curiosity didn’t just motivate getting answers, but increased the value of the journey itself. The study also found that curiosity increased at different stages of watching these videos. Higher curiosity during moments where it seemed like the drawing could tun into anything and also when participants were starting to really home in on a single answer. Curiosity also inspired people’s feeling of joy, explaining why people kept watching the line-drawing video even when they could just hit a button to get the answer right away. This helps explain why people often avoid spoilers. Knowing the end of a new TV series, for example, can remove the enjoyment of watching the plot develop. Researchers suggest that inspiring curiosity might also help raise motivation in the classroom to potentially improve learning. Increasing curiosity can improve memory by readying the brain for new information and strengthen persistence throughout a learning journey, which is often needed for deep understanding. 12. What is the purpose of Hsiung’s study? A. To find the relation between curiosity and answer. B. To find better ways to get information in TV shows. C. To find the effects cooking videos have on audience. D. To make a series of 30-second line-drawing videos. 13. What does the underlined word “cliffhanger” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Creation. B. Uncertainty. C. Imagination. D. Appreciation. 14. What can we learn from the text? A. Viewers would hit the “spoiler” button when they were curious. B. Curiosity did nothing but drive viewers to find out answers. C. As the drawing was taking shape, people gradually lost interest. D. People refused to know answers in advance to enjoy the process. 15. How is curiosity beneficial to learning? A. It can shorten learning time. B. It reduces learning difficulty. C. It is good for deep learning. D. It changes learning approaches. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people, so it’s beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully.

After living here for just a couple of weeks, I was more than ready to pick up my luggage and move back home. I was lonely for a friend. My boy Samuel was lonely. My husband, Lonny, adapted just fine, but he was occupied with work most of the time. I missed our old neighborhood. It had been like a closely knitted community where neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate brownies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrot bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past this tiny river town. Breaking in was tough. “I’m so alone here,” I said to Lonny one evening. Lonny is a good listener, and a problem solver. “What have you done to meet people?” he asked. “I go to the park every day. I even dropped by a book salon (读书沙龙) at the library the other day and came across a nice lady with a boy.” “Sounds not bad,” he said. “Did you talk to her?” The answer was no. It wasn’t that people here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating conversations, and I preferred minding my own business in a new environment. A few more months passed and winter settled in It was harder than ever to meet people. I began to feel bitter. I was tired of trying to fit in a place where we didn’t belong. Lonny noticed my low spirits. “Amy you look unapproachable, with your arms crossed and everything,” he whispered in my ear one afternoon. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, our five-year-old was playing baseball next to us. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to have friends here.” Just then Samuel looked up. He must’ve heard our whispers. “Mom’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want to go back to our old home.” I sat there and looked at my tiny innocent son. His words mirrored my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflection. 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。 That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年开平市忠源纪念中学高三年级高考三模试卷 英 语 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 第二部分 阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There is a mountain of great ski opportunities not too far from Boston.

While this puts an extra stress on the university’s academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.”（我们可以与导师面对面交流，也可以使用电子设备进行交流。最受欢迎的方式是通过社交媒体，任何时间都没有回复的消息是不可接受的。虽然这给大学的学术支持团队带来了额外的压力，但我们学生从中受益匪浅。）可知，因为科技的发展，我们可以利用电子设备和社交媒体随时和学术支持团队进行沟通，线上留言，这导致学术支持团队不得不回答学生的所有的问题，给他们带来了额外的压力，由此可知，技术给学术支持团队带来的新挑战是回答学生的所有询问。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“In fact, students are doing what they’ve always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably.The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.”（事实上，学生们正在做他们一直在做的事情：接受可用的资源，并调整它们去更高效地工作和更愉快地生活。技术变革的步伐在不断加快，所以我们必须在每一项创新发生时予以重视。）可知，学生应该接受并充分利用科技，去更高效地工作和更愉快地生活，由此可知，从最后一段可以得出的结论是学生应该充分利用技术。故选A项。 D “When we watch TV shows or football games, we’re watching that information evolve over time, uncertain about how it’s all going to end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.” I wondered if higher curiosity would push people to seek, or to avoid, getting an immediate ‘spoiler (剧透)’.” Hsiung drew inspiration from short cooking videos that are popular on Instagram and TikTok, “These videos manage to develop a description and cliffhanger, so that you’re interested and curious about how food materials will all come together.” So Hsiung made a series of 30-second cartoon line-drawing videos that, like the cooking videos, eventually ended up as something highly recognizable, like a dog. More than 2,000 adults from across the U.S. then watched 25 of these short line-drawing videos online. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked along the way how curious they were, how they felt, and to guess what the drawing would become. Viewers also had a “spoiler” button to skip ahead to see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised to find that when people were curious, they avoided hitting the “spoiler” button and kept watching the drawings unfold. It was when people were less curious that they tended to opt for an instant answer. Curiosity didn’t just motivate getting answers, but increased the value of the journey itself. The study also found that curiosity increased at different stages of watching these videos. Higher curiosity during moments where it seemed like the drawing could tun into anything and also when participants were starting to really home in on a single answer. Curiosity also inspired people’s feeling of joy, explaining why people kept watching the line-drawing video even when they could just hit a button to get the answer right away. This helps explain why people often avoid spoilers. Knowing the end of a new TV series, for example, can remove the enjoyment of watching the plot develop. Researchers suggest that inspiring curiosity might also help raise motivation in the classroom to potentially improve learning. Increasing curiosity can improve memory by readying the brain for new information and strengthen persistence throughout a learning journey, which is often needed for deep understanding. 12. What is the purpose of Hsiung’s study? A. To find the relation between curiosity and answer. B. To find better ways to get information in TV shows. C. To find the effects cooking videos have on audience. D. To make a series of 30-second line-drawing videos. 13. What does the underlined word “cliffhanger” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Creation. B. Uncertainty. C. Imagination. D. Appreciation. 14. What can we learn from the text? A. Viewers would hit the “spoiler” button when they were curious. B. Curiosity did nothing but drive viewers to find out answers. C. As the drawing was taking shape, people gradually lost interest. D. People refused to know answers in advance to enjoy the process. 15. How is curiosity beneficial to learning? A. It can shorten learning time. B. It reduces learning difficulty. C. It is good for deep learning. D. It changes learning approaches. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现，好奇心反而增加了人们对答案的耐心，同时也使他们更渴望听到答案。这项研究可能会帮助老师和学生，因为它体现好奇心的一面，鼓励我们保持专注，而不是立即寻求答案。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I wondered if higher curiosity would push people to seek, or to avoid, getting an immediate ‘spoiler’.”(“我想知道，更高的好奇心是否会促使人们寻求或避免立即得到‘剧透’。”)”可知，Hsiung的研究是为了找到好奇心和答案之间的关系。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中““When we watch TV shows or football games, we’re watching that information evolve over time, uncertain about how it’s all going to end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.(杜克大学脑科学研究所的博士后研究员Abby Hsiung博士说:“当我们看电视节目或足球比赛时，我们看到的是随着时间的推移而演变的信息，不确定这一切将如何结束。”)”和第二段中“so that you’re interested and curious about how food materials will all come together.(所以你会对食物材料是如何组合在一起的产生兴趣和好奇)”可知，前文提到的烹饪视频发展了一种描述和悬念，划线词与“Uncertainty(不确定性)”意思相近。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Curiosity also inspired people’s feeling of joy, explaining why people kept watching the line-drawing video even when they could just hit a button to get the answer right away. This helps explain why people often avoid spoilers. Knowing the end of a new TV series, for example, can remove the enjoyment of watching the plot develop.(好奇心也激发了人们的喜悦感，这就解释了为什么人们一直在看画线视频，即使他们只需要点击一个按钮就能马上得到答案。这有助于解释为什么人们经常避免剧透。例如，知道一部新电视剧的结局可能会让观看情节发展的乐趣消失)”可知，剧透会导致观众失去在过程中所得到的乐趣，因此，他们拒绝提前知道结果。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Increasing curiosity can improve memory by readying the brain for new information and strengthen persistence throughout a learning journey, which is often needed for deep understanding.(增加好奇心可以通过让大脑准备好接受新信息来提高记忆力，并在学习过程中增强毅力，这通常是深入理解所需要的)”可知，增加好奇心可以通过让大脑准备好接受新信息来提高记忆力，并在学习过程中增强毅力，这通常是深入理解的学习所需要的。故选C。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people, so it’s beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully.

Notice the smell, the taste and whatever other senses that arise as you eat. (你可能想知道如何花整整20分钟吃一个三明治。放慢速度的一种方法是调动你的感官，仔细考虑你吃饭的所有细节。问问你自己：我的盘子里有什么？我今天有多饿？是不是太咸了？注意你吃东西时产生的气味、味道和其他感觉。)”可知，后文提到注意你吃东西时产生的气味、味道和其他感觉，即建议注意食物的细节。故A选项“注意食物的所有细节。”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Put a small amount of snack food, like potato chips, in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. (把少量的零食，如薯片，放在一个单独的碗里，以帮助避免无意识地咀嚼。)”可知，上文建议把零食单独放在一个碗里，可知本句承接上文，说明这么做的原因。故F选项“如果你有一整袋，吃几口就停止是很困难的。”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“And chewing is an important part of digestion.

After living here for just a couple of weeks, I was more than ready to pick up my luggage and move back home. I was lonely for a friend. My boy Samuel was lonely. My husband, Lonny, adapted just fine, but he was occupied with work most of the time. I missed our old neighborhood. It had been like a closely knitted community where neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate brownies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrot bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past this tiny river town. Breaking in was tough. “I’m so alone here,” I said to Lonny one evening. Lonny is a good listener, and a problem solver. “What have you done to meet people?” he asked. “I go to the park every day. I even dropped by a book salon (读书沙龙) at the library the other day and came across a nice lady with a boy.” “Sounds not bad,” he said. “Did you talk to her?” The answer was no. It wasn’t that people here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating conversations, and I preferred minding my own business in a new environment. A few more months passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever to meet people. I began to feel bitter. I was tired of trying to fit in a place where we didn’t belong. Lonny noticed my low spirits. “Amy, you look unapproachable, with your arms crossed and everything,” he whispered in my ear one afternoon. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, our five-year-old was playing baseball next to us. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to have friends here.” Just then Samuel looked up. He must’ve heard our whispers. “Mom’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want to go back to our old home.” I sat there and looked at my tiny innocent son. His words mirrored my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflection. 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。 That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn’t want my boy to grow into a bitter kid. Over the next few weeks, I worked very hard to fit in. I greeted everyone with a friendly nod, arms uncrossed with a genuine smile. I struck up conversations with acquaintances at the park. I even baked chocolate brownies and offered them as a nice gesture to our neighbors. Most importantly, I stopped talking about moving back home and drew my son’s attention to the upsides of our new community. To my delight, Samuel also started to feel a bit more at home and included. One afternoon, Samuel and I ran into the lady with her boy again at the library. I gathered my courage and walked closer. “Hi, I’m Amy. This is Samuel. Can we join you guys?” I made sure that I looked approachable. The woman readily pulled up two chairs for us. It turned out we had a whole lot in common. Following that encounter, we visited each other’s home a million times. Before long, my family gradually found our way to be part of this river town. One day Lonny and I were sitting in our yard again, preparing for a barbecue party. “Darling, you still wanna go back home?” Before I uttered a single word, Samuel cut in, “No, Dad. This is our home now.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，主要描述了作者一家搬到新城镇后的适应过程。作者因为缺乏朋友而感到孤独，儿子Samuel也很孤独，而丈夫Lonny适应的不错，但他常忙于工作。作者对新社区的观感不佳，觉得难以融入，因而情绪低落。尽管Lonny试图安慰她，但她内心厌倦了试图融入一个不容纳自己的地方。最后，在Samuel的一句天真的话语中，她看到了自己的影子，意识到自己需要改变态度，接纳新环境。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那时我知道我需要调整一下”可知，第一段可描写作者做出改变，对新环境中的人们展示自己的友好，以及儿子也因此受到影响，不再那么不自在。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天下午，Samuel和我在图书馆又碰到了那位女士和她的儿子”可知，第二段可描写作者主动和他们交流，两家人开始往来，以及作者和儿子逐渐融入新环境，不再想着回到原来的家。 2. 续写线索：意识到需要调整——展示友好——情况好转——碰见那位女士和她的儿子——主动交流——融入新环境 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①融入：fit in/blend in ②打招呼：greet/address ③谈论：talk about/discuss/speak about ④拜访：visit/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①充满怨恨的：bitter/resentful ②高兴：delight/ joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I greeted everyone with a friendly nod, arms uncrossed with a genuine smile.
