A 【解析】 【原文】Well, I manage a small branch of a large supermarket,and we lose a lot of money through shoplifting. I have to try to prevent it, or else I’ll lose all my profits. A lot of shopliftings are done by teenagers in groups. They do it for fun. They’re not frightened so we have to make it difficult for them. Obviously a supermarket can’t have chains or alarms on the goods. So we have store detectives, who walk around the shop like ordinary shoppers, otherwise they’ll be recognized. We have big signs up,saying, “Shoplifters will be punished”, but that doesn’t help much. We’ve started putting cash desks at all the exits to prevent the shoplifters walking straight out with things. Of course, that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn’t found what he wanted. We also use closed-circuit television, but that’s expensive. In fact, all good methods of prevention are quite expensive, and naturally, they make our prices more expensive. But it has to be done. otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices much higher, and the public doesn’t want that! 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 Chichen Itza, Mexico Price from:£20 Age suitable:8+ When: All year around The UNESCO world heritage- listed Maya city of Chichen Itza is one of Mexico’s most amazing attractions, where you can see stunning, monumental buildings built between AD 750 and 1200, including the Castillo pyramid and the Temple of a Thousand Warriors. Getting there & doing it Chichen Itza lies 80 miles from Tulum on the road to Merida. Hotels and tour operators organize tours here but it’s better to hire a car and go independently. Understanding a little about the pre-Columbian Maya really brings these site s to life. You could read Michael Coe’s The Maya, and/or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before you go. The site can be explored comfortably in 2 hours. For refuelling after, head 40km east to Cancun for authentic Mayan organic foods. While you’re there Allow some time to drive on to Merida, the “White City ”, an old and very Mexican city with beautiful churches and great markets. Also stop by Cenote Ik-Kil for a swim with a difference. When to do it The site is open all year around, seven days a week. Gates open at 8 am and close at 5 pm. The rainy season from May through October sees the fewest visitors to Mayan Riviera. The dry season — November through April — gets busy: If you can, avoid peak season in December to January, when it gets very crowded, especially around Christmas and New Year. 21. What is recommended to do before visiting Chichen Itza? A. Hire a local guide. B. Take a guided tour. C. Watch a documentary about Mexico. D. Read specific books about the Maya civilization. 22. What is suggested for a post-visit activity after exploring Chichen Itza? A. Driving 40km east for Mayan foods. B. Attending a cultural show in Tulum. C. Paying a visit to the Castillo pyramid. D. Exploring the Temple of a Thousand Warriors. 23. When is the best time to visit Chichen Itza if you want to avoid crowds? A. December to January. B. November through April. C. May through October. D. All year around. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了墨西哥奇琴伊察的旅游信息，包括最佳参观时间、如何前往、参观后推荐活动以及提高参观体验的建议等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Getting there & doing it部分中“Understanding a little about the pre-Columbian Maya really brings these site s to life. You could read Michael Coe’s The Maya, and/or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before you go. (对前哥伦布时代的玛雅有了一点了解，这些遗址就栩栩如生了。你可以在去之前读一下迈克尔·科的《玛雅人》和/或乔伊斯·凯利的《墨西哥尤卡坦半岛考古指南》)”可知，在参观奇琴伊察之前，建议阅读关于玛雅文明的专门书籍。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Getting there & doing it部分中“The site can be explored comfortably in 2 hours. For refuelling after, head 40km east to Cancun for authentic Mayan organic foods. (2小时即可轻松游览。之后，您可以向东40公里前往坎昆，品尝正宗的玛雅有机食品。)”可知，游览完奇琴伊察后，建议驱车向东40公里寻找玛雅美食。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The dry season — November through April — gets busy: If you can, avoid peak season in December to January, when it gets very crowded, especially around Christmas and New Year. (旱季——11月到4月——会很繁忙：如果可以的话，避开12月到1月的旺季，那时会非常拥挤，尤其是在圣诞节和新年前后。)”可知，如果你想避开人群，参观奇琴伊察的最佳时间是五月到十月。故选C。 B When Su Bingtian was first added to the track and field team of his junior high school, what he did most was not training or competing, but carrying bags for his senior teammates and watching them running. Nobody, including Su himself, would believe the small boy could one day become the first Asian man to reach the 100m final at the World Championships, running side-to-side with the fastest sprinters in the world. Born in a rural area in China’s southeastern province of Guangdong, Su started training in athletics in 2003. After 12 years of fast progress, Su emerged from a bag-carrier to the fastest man in the world most populous country, breaking the national record after he clocked 9.99 seconds at the IAAF Diamond League Eugene leg on May 30. He is the first and only Chinese that have ever dipped under the 10-second barrier. He attributed such progress to a revolutionary technique change starting from last winter. When Su first began to train in sprinting, he had been using his right foot to start off. But he always found his third step a little bit weak and unsteady which would affect his intermediate running and the whole rhythm. After consulting with his coach Yuan Guoqiang, China’s first national record holder, Su has changed his way to start with his left foot going forward first. “It was like a desperate gamble, a brand new start for me. I knew if it works I would find some room to improve, otherwise it could lead to the end of my career,” Su said. “To be honest, I am not fully prepared for such pressure and intensive media coverage. I will learn to deal with it as soon as possible. But training and competing will always be my priority,” said a determined Su. “I hope my story can encourage those young people to believe that Chinese can also run fast. I do not think I am a hero. I am just a step-stone, like my coach Yuan, a step-stone to pave the way for more youngsters to push the speed limit for China.” 24. What does the second paragraph imply? A. Su Bingtian has a gift for sprinting. B. Su Bingtian achieved success through hard work. C. Su Bingtian seems not be talented in sprinting in his youth. D. Su Bingtian ran the fastest in the world. 25. What is likely the most important factor in Su’s success? A. His competitive spirit B. His family support C. His training strategy D. His experience 26. Which of the following best describes Su Bingtian? A. Determined and modest B. Ambitious and honest C. Competitive and desperate D. Popular and tough 27. Why does Su call himself as “step-stone”? A. He hopes to inspire other young sprinters. B. He is not ready to be a champion. C. He feels regretful for the speed. D. He enjoys training and competing. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了中国男子短跑运动员苏炳添如何通过努力和方法成为100米亚洲纪录保持者的经历。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Nobody, including Su himself, would believe the small boy could one day become the first Asian man to reach the 100m final at the World Championships, running side-to-side with the fastest sprinters in the world.(包括苏炳世本人在内，没有人会相信这个小男孩有一天会成为第一个进入世锦赛100米决赛的亚洲人，与世界上跑得最快的短跑运动员并肩奔跑。)” 可知苏炳添在早期并不是天赋很高。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“He attributed such progress to a revolutionary technique change starting from last winter.(他将这一进步归功于从去年冬天开始的革命性技术变化。)”可知，苏炳添调整了训练策略。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“To be honest, I am not fully prepared for such pressure and intensive media coverage. I will learn to deal with it as soon as possible. But training and competing will always be my priority, I hope my story can encourage those young people to believe that Chinese can also run fast. I do not think I am a hero. I am just a step-stone, like my coach Yuan, a step-stone to pave the way for more youngsters to push the speed limit for China. (说实话，面对这样的压力和密集的媒体报道，我还没有做好充分的准备。我会尽快学会处理它。但训练和比赛永远是我的首要任务，我希望我的故事能鼓励那些年轻人相信，中国人也能跑得很快。我不认为我是英雄。我只是一块垫脚石，就像我的袁教练一样，一块为更多年轻人在中国挑战速度极限铺平道路的垫脚石。)” 可推断出苏炳添的性格特点是有决心并且谦虚。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“I am just a step-stone, like my coach Yuan, a step-stone to pave the way for more youngsters to push the speed limit for China.(我只是一块垫脚石，就像我的袁教练一样，一块为更多年轻人在中国挑战速度极限铺平道路的垫脚石。)”可知他希望激励其他年轻短跑运动员。故选A项。 C Companies like Google, Apple and Intel offer some of California’s most cutting-edge-and highest-paying-jobs. Last year, those three companies alone brought in more than 10,000 people from other countries to take those jobs. Surely it’d be simpler for them to hire closer to home. Among the key reasons they don’t is that too few Californians have the skills-in particular, the deep understanding of mathematics to qualify. It’s something the state’s new proposed math framework seeks to change. The current system of mathematics teaching in the U. S. invites few students into the richness of thought and of learning. We blunt our children’s possibilities nearly from the start, telling far too many of them at a very early age that math isn’t for them. Sometimes those communications are clear and direct; they’re planted in decisions, by schools or districts, to put students on different tracks as early as third or fourth grade and teach them that math often limits how far they can go. My first assignment as a mathematics teacher was to teach 13-year-olds who had been assigned to the lower-level tracks. One girl understood the message of that ability grouping all too well. She caught me up short with the question, “Why should I bother?” The question became our shared challenge. I gave her more difficult work so she could do well on the national mathematics exam. She passed that exam, which allowed her to train to become a sound engineer. She had been told she was not good enough for mathematics-and it was not true. Too many students in California are given the same message-and it is one of the reasons the U. S. has relatively few students who are proficient in math. That’s why California’s new mathematics framework has been introduced. 28. What does the author intend to show by mentioning some companies? A. Their competing advantage. B. Their hire in foreign countries. C Their benefits from high tech. D. Their demand for staff qualification. 29. What does the underlined word “blunt” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Reduce. B. Explore. C. Test. D. Accept. 30. How did the girl feel about the ability grouping? A. Amused. B. Anxious. C. Helpless. D. Puzzled. 31 What will be talked about next? A. Need for framework change. B. Contents of the new framework. C. Comments on the existing framework. D. Challenges from the framework making 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国现行的数学教学体系很少能让学生进入思想的丰富和学习的丰富。我们几乎从一开始就削弱了孩子们的可能性，很多人很小的时候就被告知数学不适合他们。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Companies like Google, Apple and Intel offer some of California’s most cutting-edge-and highest-paying-jobs. Last year, those three companies alone brought in more than 10,000 people from other countries to take those jobs.(像谷歌、苹果和英特尔这样的公司为加州提供了一些最前沿、薪酬最高的工作岗位。去年，仅这三家公司就从其他国家引进了1万多人来填补这些工作岗位)”以及第二段“Surely it’d be simpler for them to hire closer to home. Among the key reasons they don’t is that too few Californians have the skills-in particular, the deep understanding of mathematics to qualify. It’s something the state’s new proposed math framework seeks to change.(当然，对他们来说，在离家近的地方雇人会更简单。其中一个关键原因是，加州具备这些技能的人太少了——尤其是对数学的深刻理解。这正是该州新提出的数学框架试图改变的东西)”可知，作者想通过提及一些公司来说明他们对员工资格的要求。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The current system of mathematics teaching in the U. S. invites few students into the richness of thought and of learning.(美国现行的数学教学体系很少能让学生进入思想的丰富和学习的丰富)”以及画线词后文“our children’s possibilities nearly from the start”可知，美国现行的数学教学体系很少能让学生进入思想的丰富和学习的丰富，所以我们几乎从一开始就削弱了孩子们的可能性，故画线词意思是“减少，削弱”。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“One girl understood the message of that ability grouping all too well. She caught me up short with the question, “Why should I bother?”(一个女孩非常理解这种能力分组所传达的信息。她突然问了我一个问题：“我为什么要自找麻烦呢？”)”和倒数第二段的“I gave her more difficult work so she could do well on the national mathematics exam. She passed that exam, which allowed her to train to become a sound engineer.(我给了她更难的练习，这样她就可以在全国数学考试中取得好成绩。她通过了考试，这使她能够接受培训，成为一名音响工程师)”可知，女孩在数学方面有实力，却被分在了水平较低的组。由此推知，女孩对能力分组感到无助。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That’s why California’s new mathematics framework has been introduced.(这就是为什么加州引入了新的数学框架)”可推知，接下来要谈新框架的内容。故选B。 D Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today. First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major (专业) may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology(社会学) or economics(经济学) often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section(部分) is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections. If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than nonscience majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do. 32. The main purpose of this text is________. A. to help the students to learn about university life B. to persuade the students to attend lectures C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions D. to advise the students to choose proper majors 33. We can lean from the passage that university professors________. A. spend over 6 hours on lectures each week B. must join the students in the discussion sections C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures D. require the students to read beyond(超越) the textbooks 34. A discussion section does NOT include________. A. working under the guidance of university professors B. talking over what the students have read about the courses C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture 35. According to the author, science majors________. A. have to work harder than nonscience majors B. spend less time on their studies than nonscience majors C. consider experiments more important than discussions D. read and write less than nonscience majors 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了在大学期间应该注意的几个问题。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.(因为你们中的许多人都计划在这个国家的学院或大学学习，你们可能会好奇，在一个典型的星期里，你们通常都做些什么，你们如何与同学相处，等等。这些是我今天想和你们讨论的问题。)”可知，这篇文章主要围绕有关大学生在大学的生活讨论了几个问题，是为了帮助大学生更好的适应大学生活。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well.(在讲座中，记录教授所讲的内容是非常重要的，因为讲座中的信息往往与课本中的信息不同。还有，你们可以根据课程考试题目。因此，只读你的课本是不够的；你还要参加讲座。)”可知，在大学，教授要求学生们除了要学习课本，还要学习课本之外的知识。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The discussion sectoin(部分) is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework.(讨论部分是一个小组会议，通常不超过三十名学生参加，你可以就讲座、阅读和家庭作业提出问题。)”可知，讨论部分涉及到讲座、阅读和家庭作业相关的问题，不包括在教授的指导下工作。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.”(另一方面，主修文学或历史的人通常要比科学专业的人读写更多。)可知，主修文学或历史的人通常要比科学专业的人读写更多，反过来，科学专业的人通常要比非科学专业的人读写的少。故选D。 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。 The Path of Diligence (勤奋) Undoubtedly, diligence is one of the key factors in achieving success.

When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her. I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating! “Don’t worry,” Mum always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really? I could never notice any.” One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition, when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I never even got a chance to deliver the lines I’d practiced. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to Mum that I had been made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals, though I only had two lines. Mia got the lead role — a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best. The night of the show, my first line came early. Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince. Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. But the box was found empty. Mrs. Alvarez said, “A burst of noise frightened him away. I see him under the stage!” 注意：1.续写词数应为150字左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having no other ideas, Mrs. Alvarez nodded to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. Meanwhile, the audience began to whisper and someone even stretched their necks. Mrs. Alvarez and some girls tried to call Prince’s name, but there was no response. Worried about my little friend and our performance, I visually measured the room under the stage and thought of my size. “Maybe I can get him out. I’m small enough.” My words suddenly cut through the constant calling of “Prince”. Having no other ideas, Mrs. Alvarez nodded to me. So I crawled inch by inch until I found Prince curled up like a ball. I raised my hand, saying, “It s me, Prince. Come here.” Luckily, Prince recognized me and nuzzled my fingers. When we came out, I knew it was time to say my last line, “Yes, I am the small elf who can bring good luck!” With thunderous applause hovering over the hall, I saw Mum in the audience, my eyes beaming with joy. She winked at me as if to say, “Look, being small has its advantage, right?” 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者身材矮小，在学校常被忽视，在参与春季戏剧表演时被安排演小精灵，而在表演时狗演员Prince躲到了舞台下，故事在此处留下悬念。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句““我们怎样才能把Prince从舞台下面弄出来？”阿尔瓦雷斯太太问道。”可知，第一段应描述大家对于如何让Prince从舞台下出来的焦急和困惑，以及作者提出自己因身材矮小可以尝试的想法。 ②由第二段首句“阿尔瓦雷斯夫人没有别的主意，于是向我点了点头。”可知，第二段应描述作者成功将 Prince带出来，完成表演，并得到大家的认可。 2.续写线索：众人焦急——作者提议——老师同意——作者行动——成功带出——完成表演——获得掌声 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蜷缩：curl up / huddle up ②轻推：nuzzle / push gently ③眨眼：wink / blink 情绪类 ①焦急：anxious / worried ②幸运地：luckily / fortunately ③高兴：beaming with joy / be full of happiness 点睛】[高分句型1] Worried about my little friend and our performance, I visually measured the room under the stage and thought of my size.（使用了过去分词作状语） [高分句型2] With thunderous applause hovering over the hall, I saw Mum in the audience, my eyes beaming with joy. （使用了with复合结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 江西省九江市匡卢星瀚高级中学2024-2025学年度上学期开学考 高三英语试卷 时间120分钟 总分150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Who is Mr White?

Getting there & doing it Chichen Itza lies 80 miles from Tulum on the road to Merida. Hotels and tour operators organize tours here but it’s better to hire a car and go independently. Understanding a little about the pre-Columbian Maya really brings these site s to life. You could read Michael Coe’s The Maya, and/or Joyce Kelly’s An Archaeological Guide to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before you go. The site can be explored comfortably in 2 hours. For refuelling after, head 40km east to Cancun for authentic Mayan organic foods. While you’re there Allow some time to drive on to Merida the “White City ”, an old and very Mexican city with beautiful churches and great markets. Also stop by Cenote Ik-Kil for a swim with a difference. When to do it The site is open all year around, seven days a week. Gates open at 8 am and close at 5 pm. The rainy season from May through October sees the fewest visitors to Mayan Riviera. The dry season — November through April — gets busy: If you can, avoid peak season in December to January, when it gets very crowded, especially around Christmas and New Year. 21. What is recommended to do before visiting Chichen Itza? A. Hire a local guide. B. Take a guided tour. C. Watch a documentary about Mexico. D. Read specific books about the Maya civilization. 22.

All year around. B When Su Bingtian was first added to the track and field team of his junior high school, what he did most was not training or competing, but carrying bags for his senior teammates and watching them running. Nobody, including Su himself, would believe the small boy could one day become the first Asian man to reach the 100m final at the World Championships, running side-to-side with the fastest sprinters in the world. Born in a rural area in China’s southeastern province of Guangdong, Su started training in athletics in 2003. After 12 years of fast progress, Su emerged from a bag-carrier to the fastest man in the world most populous country, breaking the national record after he clocked 9.99 seconds at the IAAF Diamond League Eugene leg on May 30. He is the first and only Chinese that have ever dipped under the 10-second barrier. He attributed such progress to a revolutionary technique change starting from last winter. When Su first began to train in sprinting, he had been using his right foot to start off. But he always found his third step a little bit weak and unsteady which would affect his intermediate running and the whole rhythm. After consulting with his coach Yuan Guoqiang, China’s first national record holder, Su has changed his way to start with his left foot going forward first. “It was like a desperate gamble, a brand new start for me. I knew if it works I would find some room to improve, otherwise it could lead to the end of my career,” Su said. “To be honest, I am not fully prepared for such pressure and intensive media coverage. I will learn to deal with it as soon as possible. But training and competing will always be my priority,” said a determined Su. “I hope my story can encourage those young people to believe that Chinese can also run fast. I do not think I am a hero. I am just a step-stone, like my coach Yuan, a step-stone to pave the way for more youngsters to push the speed limit for China.” 24. What does the second paragraph imply? A. Su Bingtian has a gift for sprinting. B. Su Bingtian achieved success through hard work. C. Su Bingtian seems not be talented in sprinting in his youth. D. Su Bingtian ran the fastest in the world. 25. What is likely the most important factor in Su’s success? A. His competitive spirit B. His family support C. His training strategy D. His experience 26. Which of the following best describes Su Bingtian? A. Determined and modest B. Ambitious and honest C. Competitive and desperate D. Popular and tough 27. Why does Su call himself as “step-stone”? A. He hopes to inspire other young sprinters. B. He is not ready to be a champion. C. He feels regretful for the speed. D. He enjoys training and competing. C Companies like Google, Apple and Intel offer some of California’s most cutting-edge-and highest-paying-jobs. Last year, those three companies alone brought in more than 10,000 people from other countries to take those jobs. Surely it’d be simpler for them to hire closer to home. Among the key reasons they don’t is that too few Californians have the skills-in particular, the deep understanding of mathematics to qualify. It’s something the state’s new proposed math framework seeks to change. The current system of mathematics teaching in the U. S. invites few students into the richness of thought and of learning. We blunt our children’s possibilities nearly from the start, telling far too many of them at a very early age that math isn’t for them. Sometimes those communications are clear and direct; they’re planted in decisions, by schools or districts, to put students on different tracks as early as third or fourth grade and teach them that math often limits how far they can go. My first assignment as a mathematics teacher was to teach 13-year-olds who had been assigned to the lower-level tracks. One girl understood the message of that ability grouping all too well. She caught me up short with the question, “Why should I bother?” The question became our shared challenge. I gave her more difficult work so she could do well on the national mathematics exam. She passed that exam, which allowed her to train to become a sound engineer. She had been told she was not good enough for mathematics-and it was not true.

Challenges from the framework making D Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today. First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major (专业) may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology(社会学) or economics(经济学) often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section(部分) is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections. If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than nonscience majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do. 32. The main purpose of this text is________. A. to help the students to learn about university life B. to persuade the students to attend lectures C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions D. to advise the students to choose proper majors 33. We can lean from the passage that university professors________. A. spend over 6 hours on lectures each week B. must join the students in the discussion sections C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures D. require the students to read beyond(超越) the textbooks 34. A discussion section does NOT include________. A. working under the guidance of university professors B. talking over what the students have read about the courses C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture 35. According to the author, science majors________. A. have to work harder than nonscience majors B. spend less time on their studies than nonscience majors C. consider experiments more important than discussions D. read and write less than nonscience majors 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。 The Path of Diligence (勤奋) Undoubtedly, diligence is one of the key factors in achieving success.

When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her. I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating! “Don’t worry,” Mum always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really? I could never notice any.” One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition, when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I never even got a chance to deliver the lines I’d practiced. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to Mum that I had been made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals, though I only had two lines. Mia got the lead role — a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best. The night of the show, my first line came early. Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince. Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. But the box was found empty. Mrs. Alvarez said, “A burst of noise frightened him away. I see him under the stage!” 注意：1.续写词数应为150字左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having no other ideas, Mrs. Alvarez nodded to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
