TV: The Crown (Season Six) Netflix, November 16. The final season of The Crown is being divided into two parts, with four episodes on show before Thanksgiving and the remaining six landing on December 14. And, yes, those initial episodes will address the death of Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, a talented Australian actress. OPERA: Later the Same Evening Juilliard Opera presents. Peter Jay Sharp Theater, November 12, 15, and 17. Composer John Musto and play writer Mark Campbell turned those moody scenes into a one-act opera that’s become a student favorite but rarely gets seen on a greater stage. It would be a once in a life time chance to have a feast for eyes. MOVIES: Fallen Leaves In theaters, November 17.

Pink Pantheress, 22, combines R&B, pop, and electronic music into relaxing but impactful tracks like “Do You Miss Me?” from December’s Take Me Home EP. This fall, her first complete studio-recorded album, consisting of 13 songs, will be released. Early tastes of Heaven Knows like “Capable of Love” and “Mosquito” suggest that we’re in for tighter hooks and longer, more ambitious compositions. 1. Which will attract those who enjoy Elizabeth Debicki’s performance? A. Mosquito. B. Malarkoi. C. The Crown. D. Fallen Leaves. 2. What do the streaming services have in common? A. They are coming into market in November. B. The works can be enjoyed once in a life time. C. More details can be accessible from newspaper. D. They are the works by the world-famous artists. 3.

B Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a solution to two of our country’s long-lasting problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’ re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita-whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life-and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. 4. What does the underlined word “sanitize” mean? A. Clean. B. Burn. C. Color. D. Dry. 5. What do we know about the Chip Bag Project? A. It helps to shake off poverty. B. It has gathered over 900,000 bags. C. It was put forward by chip lovers. D. It helps the poor and environment. 6. Why do chip eaters leave empty bags at given locations? A. Because they are forbidden to litter them. B. Because they happen to print things there. C. Because they want to help Eradajere Oleita. D. Because they can use them to trade clothes. 7. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Chipping Away at Poverty B. Chip Eaters Do a Big Favor C. A Story about Eradajere Oleita D. Good Ways to Save Environment C “Is the glass half empty or half full?” This old English saying has long been used to tell a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. However, is this necessarily a good thing? Recent studies indicate that it all depends. There is such a thing as too much positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. But as a matter of fact, it is normal for us to experience any emotions. The death of a pet or loved one, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. There is new evidence to suggest that many of these overly positive people are at a risk of developing drug or alcohol addictions as well as other psychological problems. Aside from the personal emotional impacts, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you. Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you. So my simple advice to you is to do what gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill. 8. Why does the writer mention the glass at the beginning of the text? A. To give some evidence. B. To introduce the topic. C. To present an argument. D. To explain his ideas. 9. What is the writer’s attitude to the person who remains positive across all situations? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The cause of overly positivity. B. The prevention of overly positivity. C. The bad effect of overly positivity on others. D. The bad impacts of overly positivity on personal emotion. 11. Which of the following may the writer agree with? A. Positivity is the key to success. B. We needn’t stay positive all the time. C. There isn’t such a thing as overly positive. D. Positivity always does a harm effect to our lives. D A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin. About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱). “It is very painful,” says Vincenzo Mascoli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy. He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old. “Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my eyes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat,” he says. Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1. That means their skin can’t produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength. Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly. “All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene,” says Marinkovich. The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin. It was tested in a late-stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli. The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed. After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects. A US company called Krystal Biotech has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients in the US. 12. What do we know about RDEB? A. It is a serious skin disease on children. B. It brings unbearable pain to the patients. C. It makes patients’ skin weak but seldom blister. D. About 800,000 children in the US suffer from it. 13. Why do the patients with RDEB have weak skin? A. They don’t have the gene called COL7A1. B. They don’t deal with the wounds properly. C. Genes on them fail to provide right proteins. D. They have serious side effects after treatments. 14. What do we know about the new therapy? A. It was developed by Krystal Biotech. B. It has proved highly effective on all patients. C. It will be applied to patients in a larger scale. D. It has positive effects on patients immediately. 15. What is this text probably taken from? A. A biography. B. A course plan. C. A mathematics paper. D. A science magazine. 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。 Sustainable travel is now one of the fastest-growing movements.

My family had been planning a yard sale for several weeks. Our five-year-old son, Braxton, asked if he could set up a lemonade (柠檬水) stand during the yard sale. He wanted to make a little money and save up to buy a set of Lego bricks, which might add up to $100. “I will earn it myself!” he declared proudly. He had been talking about it almost non-stop and couldn’t wait for the day to finally arrive. Two days ago, we put up the sign “Yard Sale” in front of the driveway, telling neighbors about the time and items. On the very day, Braxton woke up early at 6:00 am and couldn’t hide his excitement. After setting everything out for the yard sale, he made the lemonade and baked some cookies to begin his business adventure. After about an hour or more, we had several customers, but Braxton still had not sold any lemonade. He was a little sad. Then a young woman walked up with her baby to browse the items. While making small talk, we told her about Braxton’s plan to save his money for his little dream. She then selected a couple of baby toys for just $6 and paid with a $10 bill. “Keep the change, boy!” she said gently. Braxton offered to give her the lemonade and cookies he made. He couldn’t have been happier to receive his first little bit of money for the day. The woman left with the baby toys, the lemonade and some cookies. We didn’t give it much thought after that, but the story didn’t end there. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Several minutes passed and the woman returned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the envelope and the bill, we were so moved. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024—2025学年高三上学期开学考试英语试卷 本试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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。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.

I would like to propose an exciting event called “Blindfold Obstacle Course.” In this event, each team has one person wear a blindfold while the other person navigates him or her through a series of obstacles. The team that accomplishes the task the fastest, wins. This activity emphasizes trust, communication, and teamwork, which are valuable skills for students. I believe this entertaining and challenging project can greatly enhance the fun and collaborative spirit of the event. I hope my suggestion will be considered. Looking forward to your feedback. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed and the woman returned. “Is there anything wrong?” I thought to myself. I actually thought she was here to ask for her change back. Of course, I couldn’t have been more wrong. She was carrying an envelope this time. She handed it to us and said, “The lemonade and cookies are so delicious that I want to buy all of them. I hope you can give them away to whoever passes by your stand for me.” We thanked her and she walked away. We opened the envelope after she left and found a $100 bill in it. Paragraph 2: Holding the envelope and the bill, we were so moved. It was just a random act of kindness by a total stranger that would make a little five-year-old boy’s wish come true. At the same time, she delivered that kindness to other strangers by offering them lemonade and cookies for free. She obviously did not do it for praise or recognition. She just did it out of the kindness of her heart. Contrary to what some may think, the positivity in this world really does outweigh the negativity. There are good people around us doing good deeds, asking for nothing back. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
