(2023·山东济南市高三三模)
Sometimes people can find new interest in old things.For me,it was discovering a love for ballet more than 15 years after I first started training.
My parents put me in ballet classes as a young girl and I just sort of kept going.I don't know I had any particular passion for it.I quitted.It felt like I was slowly closing a chapter in my life,with no particular sorrow about the matter.
Years later,something,maybe boredom,led me to a decision to start classes at a studio,where I met a group of middle-aged ballet lovers,all of them starting ballet as adults.
Stepping into the ballet studio again unearthed a whole set of unexpected feelings.I wasn't strong or flexible enough to accomplish moves that used to be second nature.I had to stop to adjust my breath after each combination in the center.Mostly,I felt ashamed.But those women cheered me on.The longer I watched them in class,the more I was moved.This was the point staring me right in the face—it didn't matter; they just loved to dance.Their passion for ballet helped me see it in a new light.It didn't need to be competitive; it was something people did for fun,no matter what their skill level is.Slowly,it began to feel challenging in a good way.I started having fun.I've found that when we dance,it's an exercise in directing our energy to a number of different areas.
When we stepped on stage for our year-end performance,I felt the effects of that sustained attention and my body flowed through well-practiced movements.I was totally lost in bright stage lights and felt the whole world belonged to me.After the performance,one of the audience came to me and remarked,“Wow,I can tell you really like to dance!” I smiled and nodded.It was true.

(2023·东北三省三校高三第二次联考)
A teenager has created “the entire known universe” in the popular computer game Minecraft over the course of two months.In the game's creative mode,players can build structures using blocks.
Eighteen-year-old Christopher Slayton started by building the Earth.He used a globe to measure the exact location of every continent to perfectly copy the planet.He went on to build planets,stars,galaxies and space gas.
In a video,Slayton explained that he started skydiving so he could see the planet from a different perspective,before using mathematical concepts to make sure that the universe was made to an accurate scale.In order to fit all of the planets in the universe into the simulation(模拟),every planet would need to be 700,000 times smaller.
Eventually,Slayton was working on structures that are much larger than the Earth,like the sun.He used the brightest blocks in the game to build the star,adding solar flares(光) to make it “feel alive”.
Building even larger structures—such as the Pillars of Creation,elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula—took Slayton two days to simply make the colors accurate,before painting the stars and their shine in the background.
Many other impressive builds have been made in Minecraft.In 2020,a player created a life-size recreation of the Earth,bypassing the game's built-in height limit to recreate Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon at their full scale.
The game is also a powerful learning tool for geography,history and even finance.“Minecraft exposes children to complicated financial systems,” Teacher Gaming co-founder Joel Levin told The Independent.“Perhaps the most effective experiences come from having teachers get out of the way and letting the students play on their own.With a bit of coaching,this type of experience can lead to amazing conversations about digital citizenship,online identity and responsibility,” Levin said.

Successful individuals do things just a little differently than the average people. 1( ) Here are four key habits that athletes have to create success.
· They get real.
Don't let the professional athletes fool you.Achieving racing success is not easy,even though there are some people out there who always seem to make it look so. 2( ) They set realistic goals with each event.They equip themselves with effort,patience,and persistence(坚持) because they know the journey can sometimes be long and difficult.
· They have grit (勇气).
Anyone who wants to take charge of their own future must have grit.It takes courage and thick skin to become a successful athlete.Fear of failure can be very unpleasant.There will always be naysayers (爱唱反调的人). 3( )
· They believe in being their best,rather than being the best.
Successful athletes know that there is always room for improvement.It's like squeezing (挤) the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.Just when you think it's empty,you squeeze out just a little more. 4( ) Sometimes it involves a different technique,strategy,or even a different coach.It also may involve learning a new skill altogether.
5( )

A.They hang out with good apples.
B.The same goes for athletes as well.
C.They put themselves in others' shoes.

2.答案:D
解析:根据段落主旨句“They get real.”可知,成功的运动员是现实的。上文“Achieving racing success is not easy,even though there are some people out there who always seem to make it look so.”和下文“They set realistic goals with each event.They equip themselves with effort,patience,and persistence(坚持) because they know the journey can sometimes be long and difficult.”可知,空前一句提到赢得比赛不是容易的,空后提到他们会设定现实的目标,并付出相应的努力、耐心和坚持。由此可知,空处应说明成功的运动员知道这一点并会做好相应的规划。故选D。
3.答案:G
解析:根据上文“There will always be naysayers(爱唱反调的人).”可知,总有那些让你不努力的人。结合本段主旨“They have grit(勇气).”可知,成功的运动员拥有勇气。由此推知,空处应说明你必须坚持自己的目标,在困难面前坚定不移。故选G。
4.答案:F

If you have been to the cinema and watched the popular movie “The Wandering Earth Ⅱ” recently,you might 1 (impress) by the intelligent quantum computer MOSS.It has no cognitive limitations,removing the perceptual (感知的)thinking consciousness and left with the rational algorithm only.In fact,such strong AI like MOSS,does not exist in reality for 2 time being.
Nevertheless,weaker AI,3 replaces human processing in a specific field,has already been imperceptibly (不知不觉地)integrated into our daily life.At present,most of the global AI level exists also at this stage.For example,Robotic Process Automation (RPA),an office software that relieves employees by doing repetitive human tasks,simulating a range of human 4 (operate) such as on the keyboard and mouse.
Furthermore,Open AI 5 (release) the language model ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) lately,making human-machine interaction much 6 humanized and intelligent than ever before.Thanks to its revolutionary user experience,ChatGPT obtained more than one million users just five days after 7 (it)release.As to 8 ChatGPT became such a hit,users think it can display simple results content according to searching keywords.
Far from being a Chatbot only,ChatGPT can also realize article creation,code generating and other functions only by requesting.ChatGPT even has the 9 (capable)to write code just like a professional programmer.It also presents the strong ability in content continuation,literary creation,music creation etc.It is so powerful 10 New York City public schools have banned it from their networks and school devices.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能已经不知不觉地融入了我们的日常生活。
1.答案:be impressed
解析:考查动词的语态。空处在句中作谓语,表示“你可能会被智能量子计算机 MOSS 所吸引”,be impressed by“被……所吸引;对……印象深刻”。因空前有情态动词might,故填be impressed。
2.答案:the
解析:考查冠词。句意:事实上,像 MOSS 这样强大的人工智能,暂时在现实中是不存在的。for the time being“暂时”,故填the。
3.答案:which
解析:考查定语从句。空处及之后的内容为非限制性定语从句,先行词为weaker AI,指物,空处在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which,故填which。
4.答案:operations
解析:考查名词的单复数。a range of“许多”,所以空处用名词复数operations,作宾语,故填operations。
5.答案:has released
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处在句中为谓语,结合句中lately可知,时态用现在完成时;主语Open AI 为单数,所以助动词用has,故填has released。
6.答案:more
解析:考查副词的比较级。根据句中than和空前much可知,此处用比较级,表示“使得人机交互比以往任何时候都更加人性化和智能化”,故填more。
7.答案:its
解析:考查形容词性物主代词。形容词修饰名词,所以空处用形容词性物主代词its,修饰名词release,故填its。
8.答案:why
解析:考查宾语从句。as to“至于,关于”为介词短语,所以其后为宾语从句,根据句中“users think it can display simple results content according to searching keywords”解释了ChatGPT 如此受欢迎的原因,因而此处用连接副词why,故填why。
9.答案:capability
解析:考查词性转换。句意:ChatGPT 甚至有能力像专业程序员一样编写代码。根据空前the可知,此处用名词capability,作宾语,故填capability。
10.答案:that
解析:考查结果状语从句。本句使用了“so...that...”的结果状语从句,空处之后的内容为结果,所以此处用that,故填that。

Brian Tracy is a very famous Canadian-born motivational speaker,and it is safe enough to say that he is one of the best ones out there.Brian is excellent in the fields of public speaking,leadership and success psychology.However,it did not begin for Brian like that,as he was the troublemaker of the family.
Things have definitely changed for him,as he once struggled to pay the utility (公用事业) bills.Brian is the President and CEO of three multi-million dollar companies based in the United States.He is fluent in more than four languages and has one main message for everyone out there,“I believe through learning and the application of what you have learned,you can solve any problem,overcome any barrier and achieve any goal that you set for yourself.”
Brian Tracy was born in Canada in 1944 and raised in the United States.His early childhood was spent in a variety of locations,including Illinois,Wisconsin,Minnesota,and California.His family moved frequently and he was often in a new school.Tracy's parents' marriage ended when he was seven years old,and he and his siblings had to live with the two different households.With his father mostly absent,Tracy and his siblings were largely raised by his mother.
His mother was a hardworking single parent who held down three jobs to support the family.Tracy was often left to his own devices,which included a lot of reading.He read a wide variety of books,including biographies and books on success and personal development.His reading gave him an education that was far beyond his years.He also studied music and played sports.
Although his childhood was difficult and his circumstances were sometimes difficult,Tracy's strong spirit and determination eventually led to success.His early childhood experiences helped shape his beliefs and values,and he applied them to his later life and career.

4.What is the most beneficial to Tracy's development?( )
A.The good education.
B.The wide reading.
C.The mother's support.
D.The tough childhood.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“His early childhood experiences helped shape his beliefs and values,and he applied them to his later life and career.”可知,对Tracy的成长而言,他的早期童年经历帮助塑造了他的信仰和价值观,并将它们应用到他后来的生活和职业生涯中。故选D。

(2023·山东日照市高三二模)
Crossing Phoenix,Arizona,are 180 miles of canals.In 1867,the city's founding father,Jack Swilling saw the remains of irrigation (灌溉) channels wandering across the landscape.He realized that,centuries before,some society had farmed this desert.Soon after,Swilling began clearing the blocked canals to bring agriculture back to the region.
Three years later,Swilling and other pioneers met to consider names for their settlement.The top two were Pumpkinville and Stonewall.Luckily,English adventurer Darrell Duppa proposed a name inspired by the resurrection (复兴) of the canals.“A great race once lived here and another great race will live here in the future,” he considered.“I predict that a new city will spring,phoenix-like,from the ruins and ashes of the old.”
Gary Huckleberry,a researcher,said,“In the southwest,we have some serious issues to deal with in terms of water.The Colorado River is the main source of water for the southwest and it's over distributed.We've got population growth and climate change.How are we going to deal with that? I think there's something to be learned by looking at past societies who managed water for thousands of years.”
That great society was the Hohokam.Between 100 and 1450 AD,they constructed 1,000 miles of canals.As the Hohokam expanded their network,they constantly repaired,cleaned and diverted the canals.“It requires cooperation,because all the users of the water from that canal have to agree not only to construct it,but also to maintain it,” Henderson,a scientist,said.“Users would have to agree to certain conditions to keep the entire system going.” The Hohokam committed to sharing water and put themselves on timetables.
The Hohokam used canal irrigation for 3,000 years.“That,to me,is the definition of sustainable development,” Huckleberry said.“They learned how to sustainably farm,to manage water,to not destroy their soils in a way that is worthy and might give us insight into how we might deal with the current trouble.I think one of the key lessons is that you don't put all your eggs in one basket.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了横跨亚利桑那州凤凰城的180英里长的运河,19世纪的时候城市的创始人们复兴了运河,城市的名称由此而来,更久以前霍霍坎人在这里建造并维护运河,以可持续的方式发展他们的社会。
5.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?( )
A.The reconstruction of canals.
B.The origin of the city's name Phoenix.
C.The discovery of the irrigation channels.
D.The agricultural development in the settlement.
答案:B
解析:段落大意题。第二段主要介绍了凤凰城起名的经过,拓荒者开会讨论了起名方案,英国冒险家Darrell Duppa以运河的复兴为灵感提出了凤凰城(Phoenix)这个名字。故选B项。
6.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?( )
A.The source of water.
B.The climate change.
C.The population growth.
D.The over-distribution of water.
答案:D
解析:代词指代题。根据第三段“In the southwest,we have some serious issues to...We've got population growth and climate change.How are we going to deal with that?”可知,因为人口增长和气候变化,水资源的问题愈发突出,需要解决科罗拉多河的水过于分散带来的问题。that指代的是上文的“it's over distributed”,即水的分布过散。故选D项。
7.What does Henderson say about the Hohokam?( )
A.They were expert in farming.
B.They were poor at time management.
C.They had a strong sense of team spirit.
D.They fought for their rights to use water.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Henderson的话“It requires cooperation,because all the users of the water from that canal have to agree not only to construct it,but also to maintain it”可知,霍霍坎人在使用运河的时候共同合作,建造并维护运河,因此他们富有团队精神。故选C项。
8.Which of the following would Huckleberry agree with?( )
A.Canal irrigation is out of date.
B.Sustainable development matters.
C.Farming can solve current trouble.
D.The loss of soils is worse than before.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段Huckleberry的话“They learned how to sustainably farm,to manage water,to not destroy their soils in a way that is worthy and might give us insight into how we might deal with the current trouble.”可知,霍霍坎人使用运河的方式恰恰体现了可持续发展的理念,这种方式是有价值的,可以帮助我们应对当今的问题。由此推知,Huckleberry会同意“可持续发展非常重要”的观点。故选B项。
