Initially,I attended a lecture on the flower project.The lecturer asked us to write a review on it.Since tulips are my favorite plant,I did well and got praised.Additionally,I visited the desert exhibition.Learning much from it,I came to understand why cactuses and other dry plants have sharp leaves.Ultimately,I was introduced to a brochure about trees we usually see in life,which benefited me a lot.
Undoubtedly,I gained numerous knowledge on plants and have become interested in them through this meaningful activity.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分,共40分)
A
(2023·安徽黄山市三模)
A map on social media shows “languages where the word for ‘mother/mom’ takes an m-sound”.Scores of countries are shaded red.
The word mama does not sound like a mother,but it does show one feature of language: the fact that some sounds are more widespread than others around the world.A few consonants (辅音),such as b,m,p,t,d and k,show up far more frequently,in nearly every spoken language in the world.That is almost certainly because they are easy to make.
A baby vocalising (发声) will,at first,make a sound like “ah”,which requires little in the way of control over the mouth.If they briefly close their mouth and continue vocalising,air will come out of their nose,thus making the m-sound that is used in “mother” around the world.
Though the “mamas” bear the most obvious similarity,the “papas” have striking commonalities (共性),too.Babies can easily stop their breath when they close their lips.This produces a b- or a p-sound.It is surely for this reason that so many names for “father” use these consonants: papa in English,abb in Arabic and baba in Chinese.T- and d-sounds are similarly basic,involving a simple press of the tongue against the teeth: hence daddy,tatay (Tagalog) or tayta (Quechua).
Father and mother are,therefore,an oddity.F- is not especially easy to make; th-sounds are even harder.English,Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them,and French-,German- and Italian-speakers struggle very much with them,often using related consonants instead.Children may struggle with th-sounds when they are five,or older still in many cases.
This helps solve the mystery of why,despite parents being formally known as “mother” and “father”,so few children call them that.Few parents will insist on children using the proper term to refer to them,especially if it means waiting until a child is seven and can pronounce it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么世界上很多国家的“mother/mom”的单词中使用m音。
1.What do words for “mother” in many languages have in common?( )
A.They include the “ah” sound.
B.They are the first words of babies.
C.They have the easy-to-make m-sound.
D.They require a wide-open mouth to say.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“A map on social media shows ‘languages where the word for ‘mother/mom’ takes an m-sound’.”和第二段“A few consonants (辅音),such as b,m,p,t,d and k,show up far more frequently,in nearly every spoken language in the world.That is almost certainly because they are easy to make.”可知,许多语言中“mother”的单词的共同点是他们有容易发的m音。故选C。
2.Which body parts do babies need to employ to say the Quechua word for “father”?( )
A.Their nose and teeth.
B.Their mouth and nose.
C.Their tongue and teeth.
D.Their lips and tongue.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“It is surely for this reason that so many names for ‘father’ use these...hence daddy,tatay (Tagalog) or tayta (Quechua).”可知,婴儿需要使用舌头和牙齿来说出克丘亚语中“father”的意思。故选C。
3.For whom are th-sounds most difficult to pronounce?( )
A.The Greeks. B.The English.
C.The Spanish. D.The French.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“th-sounds are even harder.English,Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them,and French-,German- and Italian-speakers struggle very much with them,often using related consonants instead”可知,发th音最难的是法国人。故选D。
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?( )
A.The universal mama
B.The most widespread sounds
C.The languages of the world
D.The vocalisation of consonants

(2023·安徽池州市高三教学质量统一监测)
People say “a picture is worth a thousand words”,but if you look at books and movies based on them,you may question this common saying.Many times great words end up being turned into unsuccessful movies.
Good movies need good stories.If so,why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling,The Odyssey,never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters.So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great”? Movies of course need impressive images,so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”?
One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read,a movie typically lasts under two hours.This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen.Even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from it,with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.
Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books.Take,for example,the epic movie Troy,which is in part based on The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen.Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of “the most beautiful woman in the world”,influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.Furthermore,books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules.With this in mind,perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right,and not against its original source.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么伟大的作品最终会被拍成不成功的电影。
5.What is the function of Paragraph 1?( )
A.To explain a concept.
B.To quote a saying.
C.To support an argument.
D.To introduce the topic.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段“People say ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’,...end up being turned into unsuccessful movies.”可知,第一段直接引出本文的主题——为什么伟大的文学作品很难被拍成成功的电影。故选D。
6.Why are some fans disappointed with the Harry Potter movies?( )
A.They cannot afford the tickets.
B.The movies are dull and boring.
C.Their favorite characters are not included.
D.Their parents prevent them watching movies.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from it,with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.”可知,《哈利·波特》粉丝们失望的原因是在电影中没有看到自己喜欢的角色。故选C。
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?( )
A.Great books mean successful movies.
B.We judge a movie in a similar way.
C.Great movies have their own rules.
D.We judge a movie by its original source.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes...With this in mind,perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right,and not against its original source.”可知,作者认为电影的评判应该有自己的规则,而不是根据它的原始来源。故选C。
8.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?( )
A.Good books,bad movies?
B.Good books,good movies!
C.How to make good movies?
D.How to adapt good books?
答案:A

I've been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots.As a foreigner,I couldn't care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. 1( ) So I always attempt to find something that's appealing and fun yet represents the local culture,and that offers an interaction with the locals.
My reputation for doing this has grown. 2( ) Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish,I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide.I choose not to though,because to me,the most important thing is making sure the tourist,who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am,has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. 3( ) In that case,tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost.They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture.I choose to give them an experience that's deeper and opens their mind,all for free.
4( ) When someone is visiting your area,don't just take them to the touristy spots.Show them the places that mean something to you.Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them.There's something good in almost every town out there.If you don't have any spots in your area that you like,learn to find the good in the place you live.If you find the good in where you live,you will also find the good in yourself.It's a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. 5( )
A.Everyone can do the same.
B.I could hardly have imagined it would happen.
C.It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them.

Picture this:you're switching channels and you come across an advertisement for a popular cigarette brand with doctors promoting its health benefits.Unbelievable? Think again.A century ago,attitudes around smoking were strikingly different,and,shocking though it may now be,it was common to see health professionals give their approval to cigarette makers.
In a jaw-dropping state of affairs,doctors weren't the only ones to promote smoking—in fact,during the first run of the cartoon show The Flintstones in 1960,its official sponsor was Winston cigarettes,and in one advertising session,the characters Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are seen smoking a pack together,with the latter remarking:“It tastes good,like a cigarette should.”
There was pushback in the media against the overstatements of wealthy tobacco giants (巨头) however,and it was the American issue of Reader's Digest which regularly sounded the smoke alarm.The first story on the topic was published in its pages in 1924.“Does Tobacco Injure the Human Body?”,focused on a groundbreaking study that concluded smoking was “one of the very significant reasons fewer men than women attain old age.”Another story published in 1952 called “Cancer by the Carton” was credited with contributing to the largest drop in cigarette smoking since the Great Depression.
Smoking has lost its cool factor in recent decades,and the number of smokers across the country continues to steadily decline.In 1922 over 65,000 tons of tobacco were sold in the UK,reaching a peak of 125,960 tons sold in 1961.Due to growing public awareness of smoking's harmful health effects,by 2014 that figure had dropped to 43,793 tons.
In the past decade,the rate of smokers has dropped considerably.And it's young people in particular who are turning away from smoking: 25.7 percent of 18—24 year olds smoked regularly in 2011 while in 2018 16.8 percent did.Hear that? It's the collective sound of lungs breathing again.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了吸烟这一现象的变化。
1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?( )
A.Doctors consider smoking harmful to health.
B.People's attitudes to smoking remain the same.
C.Advertisements for tobacco are everywhere on TV.
D.Cigarette producers disagreed with health professionals.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中“Picture this:you're switching channels and you come across an advertisement for a popular cigarette brand with doctors promoting its health benefits. Unbelievable?”可知,医生宣传香烟的健康益处,是让人难以置信的,可推断医生认为吸烟有害健康。故选A项。
2.What did the stories in Reader's Digest reveal?( )
A.Smoking made profits for tobacco giants.
B.Smoking contributed to the Great Depression.
C.Smoking led to a shorter life of men than women.
D.Smoking caused damage to people's mental health.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段可知,《读者文摘》的故事揭示了吸烟导致男性的寿命比女性短。故选C项。
3.What is the author's attitude to the reduction of smoking?( )
A.Objective. B.Doubtful.
C.Negative. D.Favorable.
答案:D
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段“In the past decade,the rate of smokers has dropped considerably...It's the collective sound of lungs breathing again.”可知,作者对吸烟者的比例大幅下降是感到欣喜的,所以他对减少吸烟的态度是支持的。故选D项。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )
A.The harmful effects of smoking
B.The ups and downs of tobacco industry
C.The change of attitudes towards tobacco
D.The increasing awareness of quitting smoking
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段中“A century ago,attitudes around smoking were strikingly different,and,shocking though it may now be,it was common to see health professionals give their approval to cigarette makers.”可知,一个世纪前,人们是认可吸烟的,再根据最后一段可知,吸烟者的比例已经大幅下降,所以本文主要介绍的是人们对吸烟态度的改变。故C项最适合作本文标题。故选C项。

Overspending can be defined as spending beyond one's means,and is not rarely seen nowadays.According to a recent report,more than one-fourth of adults surveyed in 2020 had one or more bills that they were unable to pay in full that month.
While every individual's spending habits are unique to their circumstances,a few common potential issues tend to be responsible for overspending.
Lifestyle creep,a financial trap,where you spend more money as you make more money,for example,often accounts for unrecognized overspending.Individuals that lack a decision-making process for making purchases can also find it difficult to control their spending.
Media and advertisements can also lead to overspending.Marketing strategies aim to create a feeling of scarcity (稀少) for consumers with phrases like “almost sold out” or “two tickets remaining” when they are making online purchases.Emails from favorite sellers can give consumers the impression that they are saving money by taking advantage of a sale,and roadside billboards can lead individuals to make impulsive (冲动的) purchases.
Social pressures to enjoy dinners out and vacations with family and friends may be a push for younger people,who see others enjoying these activities through social media platforms like Instagram.“People think spending makes you happy,” Elizabeth Dunn,professor at the University of British Columbia and chief science officer at Happy Money,says.“But for many people,it's these values of being true to yourself that make you happy.”
Dunn notes that,“Failures in self-control in the finance can cause dire consequences.Financial stress,for example,has been linked to physical health struggles,problems in close relationships,and stress in retirement.”
“Dealing with overspending should start in bite-size pieces.Small and manageable changes over time are more likely to stick to in the long run.Instead of relying on willpower,setting specific goals and building a foundation with a budget is an effective way.” adds Dunn.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了导致过度消费的几个因素以及如何制止这一行为的方法。
5.Why is a recent report mentioned in Paragraph 1?( )
A.To explain what overspending is.
B.To stress the harm of overspending.
C.To tell a way to stop overspending.
D.To show overspending is common.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段“and is not rarely seen nowadays.According to a recent report,more than one-fourth of adults surveyed in 2020 had one or more bills that they were unable to pay in full that month”可知,第一段提到的报道是为了说明过度消费很常见。故选D。
6.What do Paragraphs 3~5 mainly talk about?( )
A.Possible causes of overspending.
B.Typical unhealthy spending habits.
C.Some unavoidable financial traps.
D.Issues resulting from overspending.
答案:A
解析:段落大意题。根据第三至五段的内容及第二段的“a few common potential issues tend to be responsible for overspending.”和第四段首句“Media and advertisements can also lead to overspending.”可知,这三段主要是关于导致过度消费的原因。故选A。
7.What does the underlined word “dire” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?( )
A.Pleasant. B.Controllable.
C.Terrible. D.Acceptable.
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后“Financial stress,for example,has been linked to physical health struggles,problems in close relationships,and stress in retirement.”可知,画线词的所在句子意为“在财务方面缺乏自制力可能会造成可怕的后果”,因此dire意为“可怕的”,与terrible的意思最为接近。故选C。
8.What is Elizabeth Dunn's advice on overcoming overspending?( )
A.Making a reasonable budget.
B.Relying on personal willpower.
C.Setting grand and general goals.
D.Starting changing on the whole.
答案:A

Reuben sat on the bench during gym class,daydreaming.As his classmates fought comparatively up and down the basketball court,he was imagining a different game—one in which a group of colorful bricks turned around quickly and side-stepped and dunked (扣篮).At the center of this spinning circle he could see a giant basketball... made out of Lego bricks(乐高积木).
A few weeks earlier,he had built exactly that kind of huge Lego basketball.It was for a city-wide art contest that everyone was excited about: the prize was a $100 check for the student artist and a visit to the winner's school by the world-famous basketball team—The Lakers.Since he had submitted his entry,Reuben kept dreaming about his creation,imagining it would show his classmates how good he was at something!
Reuben was caught up in his basketball ballet,imagining the bricks move closer...and closer.Suddenly,a sharp whistle abruptly interrupted his thoughts,followed by an urgent shout from the teacher: “Reuben!”
Surprised,he jumped to his feet.
“Where is your attention,young man? I had to call you three times.Now go take Lamar's place.” “Who,Reuben? He's too busy building Lego things in his head,” Lamar yelled as their classmates laughed.
Of course Lamar was right.Worse still,Reuben was the tallest boy in his class,and his combination of his height,long arms,and wiry fingers screamed “basketball player”.Therefore,Reuben was expected not just to be good at basketball,he was expected to be great!
But he was neither.Chasing and shooting balls was not his thing.He was clumsy (笨拙的) on the court.He loved to build and design and draw things.Once,he even recreated a mouse trap,making it humane (人性化的).
“Why worry about mice?” mom complained.“They eat our rice!”
“But mice sing to communicate and feel empathy for other mice,Mom.And that some carry seeds to other parts of the environment,which helps things grow!”
“Huh,” his mom said,then frowned and replied,“Even so,mice are no use to no one.” “Mice matter too,Mom!” Reuben replied.

Back on the court today,Reuben felt like an oversized mouse himself.He was caught in a flurry of arms,elbows,and more screeching sneakers sliding across the gym floor.“Shoot,Reuben,shoot!” he heard Lamar yell.Reuben tossed the ball toward the net,praying it would go in.Would it?Could it? Nope,it barely reached the backboard and bounced away.“Nice shot,Reuben!” Lamar taunted from the bench.Hands on knees,Reuben grasped for air,desperately screaming inside: Why didn't people see his usefulness? The basketball court wasn't the only place that counted,was it?
Just after the gym class,an excited voice came over the loudspeaker.“Good afternoon,students,” said the principal.“The citywide art contest has made its choice,and the winner is one of our students!” Reuben's heart skipped a beat.Could it be him? “Congratulations to fifth-grade Reuben!” the principal continued,“Besides,The Lakers will be coming to our school next month.” Reuben's classmates cheered,and even ran up to offer him a high-five.And from the bend,he heard a voice call,“Hey,dude,looks like you finally found a way to win!” Reuben turned around and saw Lamar holding up a thumb-up.“Finally,this mouse matters,” Reuben thought.“Finally,this mouse scored!”
