B In a gray box, I have a thick pile of love letters. I imagine about sharing them with a granddaughter when I’m 90. But my most treasured love letter is from one of my best friends. It’s a handwritten letter years ago when I was having trouble getting over a man. Her letter is the most romantic in my pile. It made no excuses. It simply let me know that I was loved. Reflecting on her gift, and the dying art of handwritten letters in our age of emails and emoticons, I chose to conduct an experiment this Christmas: replacing presents with heartfelt, handwritten love letters for my family members. In our digital era, most of us rarely take the time to share deeply considered thoughts and emotions with the people in our lives. Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges. However, technology is taking over. First came typewriters and keyboards. Now a new brain-computer lets people type with their minds. What are we losing when we sacrifice the physical labor behind the written word? We tend to value what we struggle for. Have we undervalued the human exchange of ideas? That day I came across a letter my mom wrote to her parents when she was young. She seemed so comfortable with her parents. It was a relationship I didn’t have with her. I was inspired by my mother’s letter to her parents when I sat down to write my letter to her. I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us. With each sentence, I was discovering new and deeper ways of seeing my mother, and making myself known to her in more thoughtful ways as well. Eight single-space pages later, my hand was aching but I was done. It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life. 4. Why does the author mention her love letters in Paragraph 1? A. To show her grand charm as a young girl. B. To share them with one of her granddaughters. C. To highlight the value of handwritten letters. D. To look back upon her romantic relationship. 5. How will technology probably affect us in the digital age? A. Making our interaction less emotional. B. Encouraging our thoughtful communication. C. Saving our physical labor in conveying emotions. D. Increasing our effort in handwritten exchanges. 6. Why did the author handwrite a letter to her mother? A. To give her mother a big surprise. B. To answer her mother’s handwritten letter. C. To bridge a communication gap. D. To make her mother feel more comfortable. 7. What did the author learn from her experiment? A. The irreplaceable bond of family members. B. The tendency of information technology. C. The expression of emotions in the digital age. D. The power of handwritten correspondence. C The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. A small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youths that experience anxiety disorders. Social media has a reinforcing nature. The platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical illnesses. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? “The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites,” Sperling says. “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat.” To boost self-esteem and feel a sense of belonging in their social circles, people post content with the hope of receiving positive feedback. FOMO--fear of missing out--f also plays a role. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. The earlier teens start using social media, the greater impact they have on mental health. This is especially true for females. While teen males tend to express aggression physically, females do so by excluding others and sharing hurtful comments. Social media increases the opportunity for such harmful interactions. In addition, social media puts a lens filter (滤镜) on appearances and reality. When there’s a filter applied to the digital world, it can be hard for teens to tell what’s real and what isn’t, which comes at a tough time for them physically and emotionally. We can benefit from social platforms to some extent, as they allow people to stay in touch with family and friends around the world. Still, the platforms have opened a “Pandora’s box” as they continue to evolve more quickly than we can research their impact. In addition to limiting likes, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. Regardless of how likely social media giants, are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. 8. Why does Instagram limit likes? A. To share more contents. B. To increase its popularity. C. To ensure teens’ well-being. D. To reduce teens’ online time. 9. What does “Pandora’s box” in Paragraph 6 imply? A. Social media can be double-edged. B. People benefit from social platforms. C. People get boxes of gifts from social platforms. D. Social media opens a door for people to. see the world. 10. Which of the following does Sperling agree with? A. Its lens. help teens to tell the real world. B. Its unpredictable outcome attracts frequent visits. C. It is helpful to teens with anxiety and depression. D. It has a greater impact on female teens than male, teens. 11. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. Advice on users’ controlling mass sharing. B. Reasons for teens’ posting addictions. C. Negative effects of harmful interactions. D. Ways of social media giants’ management. D California’s Water Resources Control Board recently approved new regulations in a unanimous (一致同意的) vote — toilet or shower wastewater will be recycled and pumped into the public drinking water system. In 2023, more than 97% of California has been in moderate to severe drought, while water suppliers are struggling to keep up. A 2022 water supply and demand report indicated that around 18% of water suppliers were at risk of facing potential shortages. “The reality is that anyone out there on Mississippi River and on Colorado River, and anyone out there taking drinking water downstream is already drinking ‘toilet to tap’,” said Esquivel, a director of the Board. Early in the 1990s, the state was struggling to overcome the distaste its residents had toward drinking recycled water. Their efforts fizzled out when the phrase “toilet to tap” caught on and met with fierce resistance. The idea became too unpopular to be implemented. Despite the negative name, the regulations are the key to ensuring the supply of drinking water. California’s new regulations would let water agencies to treat wastewater, and then put it back into the drinking water system. It has taken officials more than 10 years to develop these regulations, a process that included several studies by independent groups of scientists. To put the scheme into effect and build huge water recycling plants, however, water agencies say they will need to prove to people that recycled water is not only safe to drink but also under monitoring. The new regulations require the wastewater be treated for all bacteria and viruses. In fact, the treatment is so intense that it removes all of the minerals that make fresh drinking water taste good. That means the minerals need to be added back at the end of the process. “What we have here are standards, science, and importantly monitoring that allow us to have safe pure water, and probably better in many instances,” said Esquivel. He added that it takes time and money to build these treatment centers. So, they will only be available for bigger cities at first. 12. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To highlight the current severe climate crisis in California. B. To describe the role of California’s new water regulations. C. To reveal the distribution of water resources in California. D. To show the urgency of water supply reform in California. 13. What does the underlined phrase “fizzled out” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Failed. B. Worked. C. Stood out. D. Paid off. 14. What is critical for water agencies to conduct the recycling wastewater project? A. Policies from the government. B. The recognition by the public. C. Scientific research on wastewater. D. The construction of recycling plants. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A The minerals will be preserved in the treatment. B. The treatment centers will be built in rural areas. C. The recycled water seems to be of better quality. D. Bacteria will be produced in the treating process. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the journey of life, there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings.

Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life.

Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need.

So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 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。 Knowing what I had to say I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBCBA 6-10 BACAB 11-15 ABACC 16-20 ABABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖南省邵东一中2024年下学期高三年级第三次月考试题 英语 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) 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．What is the woman going to do this afternoon?

Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges. However, technology is taking over. First came typewriters and keyboards. Now a new brain-computer lets people type with their minds. What are we losing when we sacrifice the physical labor behind the written word? We tend to value what we struggle for. Have we undervalued the human exchange of ideas? That day, I came across a letter my mom wrote to her parents when she was young. She seemed so comfortable with her parents. It was a relationship I didn’t have with her. I was inspired by my mother’s letter to her parents when I sat down to write my letter to her. I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us. With each sentence, I was discovering new and deeper ways of seeing my mother, and making myself known to her in more thoughtful ways as well. Eight single-space pages later, my hand was aching but I was done. It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life. 4. Why does the author mention her love letters in Paragraph 1? A. To show her grand charm as a young girl. B. To share them with one of her granddaughters. C. To highlight the value of handwritten letters. D. To look back upon her romantic relationship. 5. How will technology probably affect us in the digital age? A. Making our interaction less emotional. B. Encouraging our thoughtful communication. C. Saving our physical labor in conveying emotions. D. Increasing our effort in handwritten exchanges. 6. Why did the author handwrite a letter to her mother? A. To give her mother a big surprise. B. To answer her mother’s handwritten letter. C. To bridge a communication gap. D. To make her mother feel more comfortable. 7. What did the author learn from her experiment? A. The irreplaceable bond of family members. B. The tendency of information technology. C. The expression of emotions in the digital age. D. The power of handwritten correspondence. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文以作者自己的亲身经历，说明了手写信件的力量。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But my most treasured love letter is from one of my best friends. It’s a handwritten letter years ago when I was having trouble getting over a man. Her letter is the most romantic in my pile. It made no excuses. It simply let me know that I was loved.”（ 但我最珍贵的关于爱的信是我最好的朋友写的。这是几年前的一封手写信，当时我很难忘记一个男人。她的信是我这堆信中最浪漫的。它没有任何借口。它只是让我知道我被爱着）可知，作者在第一段提到她的关于爱的信是强调手写信件的价值。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In our digital era, most of us rarely take the time to share deeply considered thoughts and emotions with the people in our lives.”（在我们的数字时代，我们大多数人很少花时间与我们生活中的人分享深思熟虑的想法和情感）可知，数字时代让我们的互动不那么有感情。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I wanted her to know my love, and to close the crack that technology and culture had created between us.”（ 我想让她知道我的爱，并弥合技术和文化在我们之间造成的裂痕。）可知，作者要手写一封信给她的母亲是因为想弥合沟通差距。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Handwriting captures the writer’s emotions, often preserved longer than digital exchanges.”（ 手写文字捕捉了作者的情感，通常比数字交流保存得更久）以及最后一段“It was only the first of my love letters, but it was already clear: What had begun as a fun project was in fact one of the most important undertakings of my life.”（ 这只是我的第一封关于爱的信，但我已经很清楚：一开始只是一个有趣的项目，实际上是我一生中最重要的事业之一。）可知，从实验中，我们学到了手写信件的力量。故选D项。 C The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. A small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youths that experience anxiety disorders. Social media has a reinforcing nature. The platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety depression, and even physical illnesses. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? “The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites,” Sperling says. “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat.” To boost self-esteem and feel a sense of belonging in their social circles, people post content with the hope of receiving positive feedback. FOMO--fear of missing out--f also plays a role. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. The earlier teens start using social media, the greater impact they have on mental health. This is especially true for females. While teen males tend to express aggression physically, females do so by excluding others and sharing hurtful comments. Social media increases the opportunity for such harmful interactions. In addition, social media puts a lens filter (滤镜) on appearances and reality. When there’s a filter applied to the digital world, it can be hard for teens to tell what’s real and what isn’t, which comes at a tough time for them physically and emotionally. We can benefit from social platforms to some extent, as they allow people to stay in touch with family and friends around the world. Still, the platforms have opened a “Pandora’s box” as they continue to evolve more quickly than we can research their impact. In addition to limiting likes, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. Regardless of how likely social media giants, are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. 8. Why does Instagram limit likes? A. To share more contents. B. To increase its popularity. C. To ensure teens’ well-being. D. To reduce teens’ online time. 9. What does “Pandora’s box” in Paragraph 6 imply? A. Social media can be double-edged. B. People benefit from social platforms. C. People get boxes of gifts from social platforms. D. Social media opens a door for people to. see the world. 10. Which of the following does Sperling agree with? A. Its lens. help teens to tell the real world. B. Its unpredictable outcome attracts frequent visits. C. It is helpful to teens with anxiety and depression. D. It has a greater impact on female teens than male, teens. 11. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. Advice on users’ controlling mass sharing. B. Reasons for teens’ posting addictions. C. Negative effects of harmful interactions. D. Ways of social media giants’ management. 【答案】8 C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体 Instagram 限制点赞的举措并分析了青少年频繁刷朋友圈的原因，呈现了社交媒体的一些不良影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句话“The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content.(社交媒体平台Instagram曾因限制点赞，以减少因分享内容受欢迎而产生的比较和伤害感而成为头条新闻。)”可知，Instagram 限制点赞的目的在于减少攀比，减少感情受到伤害的可能性；根据文章第二段“Social media has a reinforcing nature. The platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical illnesses. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? (社交媒体具有强化的本质。这些平台旨在让人上瘾，并与焦虑、抑郁甚至身体疾病有关。但是，是什么让用户回来买更多的东西，即使它真的让他们感到恶心?)”可知，社交媒体与焦虑、抑郁甚至身体疾病的产生也息息相关。同时文章的谈论对象为青少年。因此，Instagram 此举有助于青少年健康地使用社交媒体以确保其身心健康。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“We can benefit from social platforms to some extent, as they allow people to stay in touch with family and friends around the world. Still, the platforms have opened a “Pandora’s box” as they continue to evolve more quickly than we can research their impact.(在某种程度上，我们可以从社交平台中受益，因为它们允许人们与世界各地的家人和朋友保持联系。尽管如此，这些平台还是打开了一个“潘多拉的盒子”，因为它们的发展速度比我们研究它们的影响要快得多。)”前后两个句子的逻辑关系可知，社交媒体既有利也有弊。所以“潘多拉的盒子”意味着社交媒体可能是一把双刃剑。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 ““The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites,” Sperling says. “When the outcome is unpredictable, the behavior is more likely to repeat.”(未知的结果和预期结果的可能性可以让用户留在网站上。” Sperling说，“当结果不可预测时，这种行为更有可能重演。”)”可知, 当结果不可预测时, 越有可能重复这种行为——频繁刷朋友圈。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 Sperling 建议减少大量分享以及本段最后一句话“Regardless of how likely social media giants, are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior.( 然而，无论社交媒体巨头有多大可能改变他们的方式，个人都可以控制自己的行为。)”可知，接下来作者有可能会谈论关于个人如何减少大量分享的建议。故选A。 D California’s Water Resources Control Board recently approved new regulations in a unanimous (一致同意的) vote — toilet or shower wastewater will be recycled and pumped into the public drinking water system. In 2023, more than 97% of California has been in moderate to severe drought, while water suppliers are struggling to keep up. A 2022 water supply and demand report indicated that around 18% of water suppliers were at risk of facing potential shortages. “The reality is that anyone out there on Mississippi River and on Colorado River, and anyone out there taking drinking water downstream is already drinking ‘toilet to tap’,” said Esquivel, a director of the Board. Early in the 1990s, the state was struggling to overcome the distaste its residents had toward drinking recycled water. Their efforts fizzled out when the phrase “toilet to tap” caught on and met with fierce resistance. The idea became too unpopular to be implemented. Despite the negative name, the regulations are the key to ensuring the supply of drinking water. California’s new regulations would let water agencies to treat wastewater, and then put it back into the drinking water system. It has taken officials more than 10 years to develop these regulations, a process that included several studies by independent groups of scientists. To put the scheme into effect and build huge water recycling plants, however, water agencies say they will need to prove to people that recycled water is not only safe to drink but also under monitoring. The new regulations require the wastewater be treated for all bacteria and viruses. In fact, the treatment is so intense that it removes all of the minerals that make fresh drinking water taste good. That means the minerals need to be added back at the end of the process. “What we have here are standards, science, and importantly monitoring that allow us to have safe pure water, and probably better in many instances,” said Esquivel. He added that it takes time and money to build these treatment centers. So, they will only be available for bigger cities at first. 12. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To highlight the current severe climate crisis in California. B. To describe the role of California’s new water regulations. C. To reveal the distribution of water resources in California. D. To show the urgency of water supply reform in California. 13. What does the underlined phrase “fizzled out” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Failed. B. Worked. C. Stood out. D. Paid off. 14. What is critical for water agencies to conduct the recycling wastewater project? A. Policies from the government. B. The recognition by the public. C. Scientific research on wastewater. D. The construction of recycling plants. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The minerals will be preserved in the treatment. B. The treatment centers will be built in rural areas. C. The recycled water seems to be of better quality. D. Bacteria will be produced in the treating process. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。加利福尼亚州水资源控制委员会最近全票通过了一项新规定：厕所或淋浴废水将被回收并泵入公共饮用水系统。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In 2023, more than 97% of California has been in moderate to severe drought, while water suppliers are struggling to keep up. A 2022 water supply and demand report indicated that around 18% of water suppliers were at risk of facing potential shortages. “The reality is that anyone out there on Mississippi River and on Colorado River, and anyone out there taking drinking water downstream is already drinking ‘toilet to tap’,” said Esquivel, a director of the Board.(2023年，加州超过97%的地区处于中度至重度干旱状态，而供水商正在努力跟上。一份2022年的供水和需求报告显示，约18%的供水商面临潜在短缺的风险。“现实情况是，密西西比河和科罗拉多河上的任何人，以及任何在下游饮用饮用水的人，都已经在喝‘从厕所到水龙头’的水，”董事会董事埃斯基维尔说)”可推知，第二段目的在于表明加州供水改革的紧边性。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“when the phrase “toilet to tap” caught on and met with fierce resistance”可知， “toilet to tap”这个词出现时遭到激烈抵制，这个理念太不受欢迎以至于无法付诸实践，即失败了。故划线词fizzled out意为“失败”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题，根据第四段“To put the scheme into effect and build huge water recycling plants, however, water agencies say they will need to prove to people that recycled water is not only safe to drink but also under monitoring.(然而，为了实施该计划并建设大型水循环厂，水务部门表示，他们需要向人们证明，再生水不仅可以安全饮用，而且还需要受到监控)”可知，水务机构进行废水循环再造计划的关键是公众的认可。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What we have here are standards, science, and importantly monitoring that allow us to have safe pure water, and probably better in many instances(我们现在拥有的是标准、科学和重要的监测，让我们拥有安全纯净的水，在许多情况下可能会更好)”可推知，循环饮用水质量可能会更好。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the journey of life there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life. But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. ____19____ As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E. Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. F. they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future. G.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在人生的旅程中，劳动和劳动技能的培养不仅赚了钱，而且塑造了性格，塑造了未来，这是从书本上不能获得的。 【16题详解】 上文“But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true!(但如果我们告诉你，推迟这种满足，投入一些好的、诚实的劳动实际上是有益呢？这是真的！)”是肯定劳动是有好处的，那么下文将说明劳动有哪些好处。选项G“The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. (劳动的过程教会了教科书无法传达的宝贵教训。)”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 这是段首句，是标题句。下文“Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. (突然之间，他们很负责，会按时到场，从头到尾多做工作，并管理自己的收人。这些都是任何课堂讲座都无法匹配的生活技能。)”是说明劳动会培养责任感。选项D“First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility (首先，劳动逐渐获得了一种责任感。)”，同时，First与下文的Moreover呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Moreover, labor breeds perseverance. (此外，劳动还能培养出毅力。)”和下文“Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone for success in all aspects of life. (他们没有认输，而是坚持不懈，从每一次挫折中学习，并在这个过程中变得更强大。这种毅力成为了在生活的各个方面取得成功的基石。)”，可知空格处要举例说明劳动如何培养出毅力。选项E“Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. (想象一下，一个年轻人在求职时面临被一而再的拒绝。)”符合此语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. (但也许劳动最深刻的影响是它培养共情心和欣赏的能力。)”和下文“As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. (当青少年为不幸的人提供食物时，他们对特权和感激有了一种新的看法。)”，可知空格处引出了如何培养共情心和欣赏的能力的例子，可以承接上文，引出下文。选项B“Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. (以在当地的施粥所做志愿者为例。)”符合此语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 本句是文章尾段的尾句，结合上文“In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. (总之，劳动不仅仅在于挣钱，还在于塑造性格和为成功奠定基础。)”，可知破折号后对劳动的意义进一步说明，给出了忠告。选项F“So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future (所以，下次当你看到一个青少年在炎热的夏天大汗淋漓的时候，请记住——他们不只是在修剪草坪，他们还在为通往更光明的未来铺平道路。)”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。 Kwane Stewart, a devoted vet (兽医) in San Diego, had reached a point of burnout in his career.

As scheduled, the activity began at 3:00 p.m., lasting three hours. What came first was a moving speech delivered by a volunteer, mirroring the authentic life of the needy students and kindling the kindness. What subsequently followed was the exciting sales section where many second-hand items, ranging from electronic devices to old fancy clothes, were sold at a pretty low price. So enthusiastic were our schoolmates and teachers that all goods were snapped up within hours. All the money raised would be sent to the Red Cross and distributed to those needy students. This Charity Sale proved successful and meaningful. Not only did we students promote our social responsibilities, but we also understood every bit of our kindness could pile up enormous strength. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇英语报道，报道一下校学生会在体育场刚举办了一场“慈善义卖”(Charity Sale)活动，内容包括活动的目的和过程以及反响和意义。 【详解】1.词汇积累 见证：witness →see 按计划：as scheduled →as planned 令人感动的：moving →touching 证明是：prove →turn out 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：All the money raised would be sent to the Red Cross and distributed to those needy students. 拓展句：All the money which was raised would be sent to the Red Cross and distributed to those needy students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Aimed at helping the students from poverty-stricken areas, the Student Union launched a grand Charity Sale last Friday at our school’s stadium, which witnessed the kindness and generosity of all the students and teachers present.（运用了过去分词短语作状语以及which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】So enthusiastic were our schoolmates and teachers that all goods were snapped up within hours.（运用了so…that…引导结果状语从句以及倒装句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。 One sunny afternoon, Alice and I were walking home from school, lost in our girlish conversation. Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. I took a deep breath and began. With my voice shaking, I spoke of my inconsiderate behaviour, deep regret and the upsetting result without exposing Judy’s name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flowing down my face, I didn’t dare to expect my classmates’ response. To my surprise, they applauded for my sincerity. Even Mr. Thomas praised my courage to admit my fault and apologize publicly. Back to my seat, I stole a look at Judy and amazingly found she was also looking at me with tears. That day marked a turning point. Although Judy and I never directly talked about that unpleasant events, our interactions slowly returned to normal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent forgiveness had been granted. I was never proud of my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew for sure it was an experience to be modestly thankful for. Here are the lessons I have carried close to my heart ever since: Speaking ill of others plant seeds of regret and true friendships deserve the respect of honest words and open hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和爱丽丝闲谈时谈起不热衷和朱迪做朋友，恰好被朱迪听到，作者为自己的口不择言感到尴尬和后悔，在接下来的日子里想要修复和朱迪的关系。在托马斯先生的课堂上，作者抽到了一张纸条“分享你最尴尬的时刻”，作者认为这是一次机会，于是讲出了自己的这段经历，在演讲中勇于承认错误，从那之后，作者和朱迪的关系逐渐修复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道自己该说些什么后，我让自己冷静下来，向讲台走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者讲出了这段经历，同学们的反应，托马斯先生的赞扬及朱迪的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那一天标志着一个转折点。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朱迪之间的关系逐渐恢复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 2.续写线索：走向讲台——演讲自己的经历——同学的反应，托马斯先生赞扬——朱迪的反应——重归于好——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②期待，预期：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激的：thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1].
