If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). 1 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 2 Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. 3 It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 4 However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". 5 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A．I don't often use this dictionary. B．It takes no account of the context. C．But I still don't want to replace them. D．But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E．Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F．That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G．Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. （2023年新高考I卷高考真题）Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 6 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 7 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 8 You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 9 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 10 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A．A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B．Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C．They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D．It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E．It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F．Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G．Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. （2022年新高考I卷高考真题）Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 11 ”  With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. 12 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 13 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 14 You and your partner will probably have different skills. 15 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A．Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B．A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C．You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D．Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E．How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F．Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G．Any notice for a training partner should include such information. （2024·江苏南京·模拟预测）On a beautiful Saturday morning, I went for a run in the park. I got to about a mile and a half, through rose gardens and around trees. 16 . The next thing I remember was two worried faces looking down at me. They were calling an ambulance, while a black Labrador was licking my face! I felt pain in my back. Later, I learnt the dog chasing a squirrel ran straight into me. I was thrown into the air and landed on my back. My usual run had turned into a trip to a nearby hospital. Luckily, aside from minor injuries, I was OK. 17 : what if it had been a car? How can we ever see these things coming? The truth is that sometimes, life really is out of our control. Then what do we do when it does? First, do a gratitude stocktake (盘点): my friend Denise, would look after my son Jett; gratitude that it was a dog, not a car, and I lived to tell the tale. The next, who and what measures up? These uncontrollable moments in life are also the times when you find the greatest clarity. 18 .The ones that make the effort: show up; come round; be there. 19 see it as an opportunity to step back and reassess. Is your time and love focused on the things that truly matter? Are there conversations left unsaid? What do you want to do differently? If it all ended tomorrow, would your life have been well lived? I hope so. 20 ! A．But it crossed my mind B．Unless misfortune falls upon you C．Then I‘m not entirely sure what happened D．You see the people who are really there for you E．When the breath is literally knocked out of you F．I didn’t expect a Labrador would transform my life G．If not, it’s time to start living and watching out for dogs （2024·江苏南京·二模）Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. 21 , there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair. The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. 22 . Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. 23 , your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you: ➢  Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment. ➢   24 . Listen to your own music on headphones — a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. ➢  Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing — I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly — will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles. As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “ 25 ,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says. A．Add your favorite songs to the playlist B．Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair C．It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists’ support D．I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist E．Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances F．Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair G．Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment （2024·江苏泰州·模拟预测）HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY BOOK YOU READ Reading books can be one of life’s greatest pleasures and learning experiences. 26 . Especially if you’re reading a book for more than just the pleasure of it, you have to do more than just turn over its pages. Here we will explore actionable ways to maximize the benefits of reading.Set clear goals before reading Understanding why you’re reading a book can significantly impact how you approach it. The right goal will help you pay attention to what’s most important. If you’re reading a book about photography, you may want to pay particular attention to the images. 27 .Make summaries for every chapter After finishing a chapter, take a few minutes to summarize it in your own words. 28 . It also creates a handy reference guide for the future. Summarizing can be a creative process, too. Try using bullet points, mind maps, or one-liners to capture the essence of each chapter.Apply what you’ve learned 29 . If a book teaches you a new approach to time management, try implementing it in your daily routine. If a novel provides a moral lesson, reflect on how it applies to your life. This active application ensures that the book leaves a lasting impact. 30 The process of reading doesn’t end when you turn the last page. Regularly revisiting your notes, summaries, and reflections keeps the material fresh and relevant. Consider setting aside time each month to review previous reads and reflect how they’ve shaped your thoughts and actions. Not for every book, of course, just for the most impactful ones. A．Repeat reading for deeper insights B．Review and reflect C．You may notice details, themes, or ideas that were hidden during your first reading D．This exercise deepens your understanding and helps identify the central themes and ideas E．So spend some time reflecting on what you hope to achieve and let that guide your reading process F．However, many of us struggle to remember and apply what we’ve read G．Taking action on what you’ve read transforms theoretical knowledge into practical wisdom （2024·江苏苏州·三模）Confidence plays a very important role in people’s life. It gives people light when they are in dark and encouragement when they are discouraged. It is the first step on the road to success. People who look confident seem to grab more rewarding careers, maintain better relationships, and may make miracles in the face of insurmountable (不可逾越的) difficulties. So what is the secret of confidence? In fact, there is no secret. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that everyone can learn to develop. 31 You can try these simple tips for practicing and increasing our confidence levels: First, dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there genuinely striving is going to fail repeatedly. 32 Only when we face up to our difficulties can we build up our confidence and give ourselves a chance of success. 33 You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique strengths and pay less attention to your weaknesses so that you know you’re giving out your best image. Third, listen to yourself; do not look down on yourself. You are the only person who knows what is right for yourself. 34 Last, build a confidence vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down, and quit constantly mentioning your tiny flaws.

However, there are ways to overcome the problem and build body positivity. 37 Taking care of yourself is not a selfish act; it’s necessary for your personal well-being. Exercise, eat healthy food, enjoy the company of people who care about you, and spend some time outdoors to refresh your body and your mind. Replacing negative self-talk with positive thoughts can be useful for making you feel better about yourself and your body. 38 For example, if you have beautiful hair or eyes, this is just as important as the features you dislike or that others try to ridicule. Social media often emphasizes physical appearance and makes it easy to post hurtful comments about others. Cutting down or stepping away from social media can give you an opportunity to connect in-person and participate in other activities that lift your mood. Communicating face-to-face is nature’s cure of stress. 39 Reach out to others for guidance and support and let them know what you have been experiencing. 40 Having a safe outlet to express your emotions can help you cope with the distress and humiliation of being body shamed.

G．While nobody is immune to social pressures to look good, any comments about your body are unnecessary. （2024·江苏南京·模拟预测）When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. 41 . For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog (目录). Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. 42 . Neither am I, and every day that passes brings us closer to our last. Fortunately, since graduating college, I’ve been able to cover some serious ground with each of them. Together my dad and I have looked for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, photographed wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, and most recently, survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at a $9/night treehouse hostel in Mexico, eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna, and most recently, road-tripped through three states. 43 . After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “ 44 ,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. They can be difficult to plan, but so far she says she’s had no “disasters,” and often, her clients come back closer than ever. “Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’ Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity for getting to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. 45 . A．Those memories are golden B．I know they’re no longer unbeatable C．After all, as humans, we’re always evolving D．That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws E．To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun F．Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents G．There are always challenges as we are dealing with different physical abilities and interests （2024·江苏·二模）If you are trying to assess a person’s character, make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading. Instead, observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit. 46 You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people. 47 It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him in a single environment, such as the workplace. It is often possible, however, to get some idea of his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him. Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is. 48 To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter. 49 The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an indication of character. A person’s character is affected by his attitude. 50 Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others. When you are trying to assess someone’s character, remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity. A．More importantly, it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle. B．The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has. C．There are many other things in life that may require commitment. D．This includes both people he knows and people he does not know. E．Also, pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life. F．Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies. G．Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations. （2024·江苏宿迁·三模）Learning can be frustrating. Maybe you feel bored, or even get discouraged if you don’t understand a new topic. If you’re still in school, there are lots of things you can do to make learning more enjoyable. 51 There are many ways to make learning fun even after you’ve left school. ※ Find your learning style. If you are able to find your best learning style, you can make this experience more enjoyable. If you are a verbal learner, you enjoy speaking out loud. Try practicing your Latin vocabulary by quizzing a friend. If you think you are a visual learner, try to use that to your advantage. Take learning history for example. 52 ※ Ask for help. 53 And it makes sense that you will enjoy things that you are good at. If you are struggling in school, learning might feel less fun than it could be. If you cannot comprehend your Chemistry class, ask your instructor for some additional materials. Your parents and friends can also be a great resource. Once you understand the material, learning will feel less like a chore. ※ Read a book. Reading is one of the best ways to learn new information. 54 Choose a topic, and find a book to begin learning some new things. For example, fiction is a great way to learn about different cultures. You can go to your local library and pick up any book that looks interesting and give it a try. ※ Use technology. Modern technology can provide you with a whole new range of learning opportunities. Take some time to explore your computer and phone, and you will likely find some new possibilities to further your learning. Download apps that will allow you to play virtual trivia (冷知识). You can challenge your friends to see who can learn the most. Follow news outlets on social media. 55 A．Everyone likes feeling successful. B．Look for a history class that focuses on that era. C．Make a list of books you’ve always wanted to read. D．There are books available on every imaginable subject. E．Lifelong learning is also important and even better, it can be fun. F．You can stay informed about what is happening in the world around you. G．Relying heavily on the maps and timelines helps you store and enjoy the information. （2024·江苏苏州·二模）In early October, Travis Gienger transported an enormous pumpkin (南瓜) from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California. His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America. How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes? 56 Gienger, who teaches horticulture (园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty. 57 They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there. “At their peak, you’re watering them with at least 600 liters a day, ” he says. Depending on the variety, pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine (藤曼) . But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit’s competition for resources. 58 But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows? Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit’s life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants. 59 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉). 60 Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety. This has led to competition for the best seeds. Following each harvest, many growers auction off (拍卖掉) the seeds from their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used for the following year’s plantings. A．Biology has the answers. B．Genetics also influences pumpkin growth. C．The following tips will give you a head start. D．Once it warms up, the plants are transferred outside. E．When it stops, cell expansion will then come into play. F．Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible. G．Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．F 2．B 3．E 4．A 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。 1．上文“If you want to be published, it’s vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(如果你想发表，提交一份完美的、专业的手稿是至关重要的)”提到了完美的、专业的手稿的重要性，手稿中不能有语法和拼写错误是专业的手稿的要求之一。F选项“That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.(这意味着语法正确，没有拼写错误。)”是对手稿要求的进一步解释说明，符合题意。故选F项。 2．上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.(我不相信我笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。)”提到了作者不相信电脑的拼写检查器;下文“Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.(当然，现在有很多在线词典和同义词库，但我是一个守旧的人，更喜欢精装的书和能用手指翻阅的书页。)”提到了作者更喜欢实体书和能用手指翻阅的书页，说明电子设备可能不会考虑上下文，所以B选项“It takes no account of the context.(它不考虑上下文。)”解释了上文的原因，具有承上启下的作用。故选B项。 3．下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical.

If you are a verbal learner, you enjoy speaking out loud. Try practicing your Latin vocabulary by quizzing a friend. If you think you are a visual learner, try to use that to your advantage. Take learning history for example.

(你会喜欢你擅长的事情，这是有道理的。如果你在学校里很挣扎，学习可能会感觉不那么有趣。如果你不能理解你的化学课，向你的老师要一些额外的材料。你的父母和朋友也是很好的资源。一旦你理解了材料，学习就不会像一件苦差事。)”可知，后文提到会喜欢擅长的事情，故本句说明原因。故A选项“每个人都喜欢成功的感觉。”符合语境，故选A。 54．根据后文“Choose a topic, and find a book to begin learning some new things.

Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety.(一些品种的南瓜是专门培育的，以最大限度地提高它们的大小。尽管如此，即使在同一品种的南瓜之间也存在遗传变异。)”可知，此处是指基因也会影响南瓜的大小。所以选项B“基因也会影响南瓜的生长。”切合文意。故选B。 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
