Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, 高三英语 第 3 页，共 9 页 their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page. In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them. Wish you success and happy new year! 21．The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______. A．a big dream B．constant practice C．earning money D．achieving success 22．Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel? A．Matty Dalrympl. B．Michael La Ronn. C．Ryan Van Cleave. D．Andromeda Romano. 23．Who might be the target readers of this issue? A．Writers. B．Businessmen. C．Booksellers. D．Literary agentsDear readers, B My husband made a little two- story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea resonated (引起共 鸣) with us immediately - instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers- by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. A young lady regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Books in Arabic, French, and Russian are commonly found alongside the dominant (占 主导地位的) English - language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem - if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 高三英语 第 4 页，共 9 页 24．Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A．To make friends with book lovers. B．To deal with their unwanted books. C．To show their kindness to the neighbors. D．To make use of community resources. 25．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The various resources of the library. B．People’s contributions to the library. C．People’s love for the library. D．The author’s devotion to the neighborhood. 26．What can we learn about the library according to paragraph 4? A．It reflects the city diversity. B．It has advantages over public libraries. C．It only has books of dominant languages. D．It has solved the problem of book storage. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．The Comfortable Reading Corner: Promoting Reading B．The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library C．The Little Free Library: Contributing to Closer Connection D．The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony C PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMES VENUE DESIGN “Innovation is not just about technology; it’s about the human experience,” says Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the lead architect for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “We are crafting spaces that will be etched in the collective memory.” His vision is to create venues that are not only functional but also a testament to the spirit of the Games. Yet, the path to realizing this vision is fraught with challenges, as it requires balancing aesthetics with sustainability and legacy. Wilmotte, renowned for his work that blends modernity with tradition, is faced with the task of designing venues that will host the world’s most prestigious sporting event. His approach is to reimagine the urban landscape, creating spaces that are both iconic and adaptable, ensuring they serve Paris beyond the Games. The design process for the Olympic venues is a complex interplay of form and function. The benefits of thoughtful architectural design are particularly evident when the focus shifts from simple structures to those that demand a higher level of conceptual integration — such as venues that can be repurposed for community use post-Games. The differences in the design of traditional stadiums and the innovative venues for Paris 2024 are partly related to the physical properties of the materials and the spatial arrangement. With the new venues, there is a tactile quality to the spaces, along with a visual narrative that tells the story of the Games and the city’s heritage. But equally important is the conceptual aspect. The design team has proposed a theory of “spatial engagement,” suggesting that the venues should not only accommodate events but also engage visitors in a dialogue with the city and its culture. While the allure of new technology is undeniable, and many are tempted to rely solely on digital renderings and simulations, the tangible experience of the spaces cannot be replicated. Architects have found that when people physically engage with a space, they form a deeper 高三英语 第 5 页，共 9 页 connection and memory of the event. The Paris 2024 venues, with their integration of technology, art, and architecture, all play a role in shaping the Olympic experience. However, for creating an environment where the spirit of the Games is fully realized and the legacy is meaningful, the design team must not assume that all design approaches are equivalent, even when they aim to achieve the same objectives. 28．What does the phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 imply? A．The benefits are short-lived. B．The benefits are difficult to articulate. C．The benefits become readily apparent. D．The benefits are ready for implementation. 29．What does the “spatial engagement” theory assume? A．Venues should be treated as simple containers for events. B．Venues are easy to understand in terms of their design. C．People choose venues randomly based on their design. D．Venues should engage visitors in a meaningful way. 30．Why are technological tools increasingly used in the design process? A．They can capture the public’s imagination. B．They are more convenient to use in the design phase. C．They help develop more advanced architectural solutions. D．They provide more information than traditional design methods. 31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Multiple design approaches should be considered. B．Designers should create their own unique materials. C．Traditional design methods cannot be entirely replaced. D．The importance of experiential learning in design should not be overlooked. D In the quest to understand and compare the educational paradigms shaping the minds of future generations, researchers have delved into the intricate dynamics of Chinese and Western pedagogical approaches. Today, the discourse on education systems is often framed by ideological debates and cultural perspectives. Yet, a new comprehensive study aims to dissect these systems beyond surface-level observations, exploring the underlying philosophies and their impact on students. “With the proliferation of educational theories, it is crucial for us to examine the core principles that drive different educational systems,” said Dr. Li Wei, lead author of the study and a professor of comparative education at the University of Beijing. “These systems now influence the lives of millions of students worldwide, and as we increasingly rely on them to shape the minds of our youth, I wanted to know: How do they compare?” Using a diverse set of educational case studies and outcomes from various countries, Dr. Li and her team scrutinized the effectiveness and philosophical underpinnings of Chinese and Western education systems. “We were particularly interested in identifying the factors that contribute to the distinct characteristics of each system, such as the emphasis on rote learning in some cultures versus the focus on critical thinking in others,” said Dr. Li. Their study revealed that the educational outcomes are not solely determined by the amount 高三英语 第 6 页，共 9 页 of content covered but also by the pedagogical approach. Moreover, these systems are biased towards certain types of learners and intellectual development. This is expected since the educational systems are often a reflection of the cultural values and societal expectations of the regions they serve. What can we learn from the comparative analysis of these educational systems? “A great deal,” Dr. Li explained. “Educational policymakers can use our study to inform the development of curricula that balance the need for knowledge retention with the cultivation of critical thinking skills. To improve the adaptability of educational systems, we can also encourage the incorporation of diverse teaching methods that cater to a range of learning styles.” 32．What do we know about the current state of educational records and observations? A．They are becoming outdated. B．They are mostly based on theoretical models. C．They are limited in scope. D．They are used for comparative analysis. 33．What does Dr. Li’s study focus on? A．Teaching methodologies. B．Educational infrastructure. C．Observational data. D．Student performance metrics. 34．What has led to the differences between the Chinese and Western education systems according to the study? A．Cultural and historical factors. B．Technological advancements. C．Economic disparities. D．Government policies. 35．What is Dr. Li’s suggestion for improving educational systems? A．Integrate more technology into classrooms. B．Standardize curriculums across different regions. C．Provide guidance to educators on diverse teaching methods. D．Focus on a single pedagogical approach for all subjects. 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。 Time is a valuable resource, especially for those who need to deal with academic demands, personal growth, and social activities at the same time.

If you’re a teen, that’s fairly 41 . And new researches may explain why so many adolescents 42 their mom’s voices. Young kids’ brains are very tuned in to their mothers’ voices. But as they grow up, everything 43 . Teenagers’ brains are more tuned in to strangers’ voices. This obvious 44 usually happens between ages 13 and 14. That’s when teenagers are in the course of puberty (青春期), a roughly decade-long transition into adulthood. Researchers scanned the brains of 7 to 16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their mothers or by unfamiliar women. The words were purely 45 : teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. As they listened, certain parts of their brains became 46 . This was especially true in brain regions that help us to pay attention and 47 how to obtain rewards. That’s exactly as it should be. The experiments show that those parts of their brains react more strongly to the unfamiliar voices than to their mothers’. These areas in the adolescent brains don’t stop 48 mom. It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more rewarding and worthy of attention. “As kids 49 , their survival depends less and less on maternal (母亲的) support. 50 , they rely more and more on their 51 — friends and others closer to their own age. So the brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world. The brain seems to 52 new needs that come with adolescence.” However, mothers’ voices still have special power, especially in times of 53 . Studies also showed that levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) 54 when stressed-out girls heard their moms’ voices on the phone. So while both teens and their parents sometimes feel frustrated by missed messages, that’s okay. “That’s the way the 55 functions, and there’s a good reason for it.” 41．A．rare B．common C．impossible D．strange 42．A．tune out B．put up C．show off D．listen to 43．A．matters B．changes C．emerges D．evolves 44．A．shift B．action C．evidence D．ability 高三英语 第 8 页，共 9 页 45．A．sensible B．regular C．nonstop D．meaningless 46．A．rigid B．numb C．active D．calm 47．A．design B．claim C．inspect D．explore 48．A．responding to B．keeping out C．turning down D．working with 49．A．advance B．struggle C．mature D．shrink 50．A．Otherwise B．Therefore C．Besides D．Instead 51．A．competitors B．strangers C．peers D．relatives 52．A．appeal to B．adjust to C．lead to D．apply to 53．A．relief B．pressure C．absence D．safety 54．A．decreased B．varied C．remained D．topped 55．A．mind B．head C．brain D．heart 第二节：语法填空(共 10 小题，每小题 1.5分，满分 15分) 阅读下面材料, 在空格处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, 19-year-old Chinese swimming star Pan Zhanle shone brightly with two groundbreaking 56 (performance).

It was leftover aluminum foil (锡纸) from a package my mum had opene d. I picked it up and was immediately attracted by its sparkling appearance. Curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but ask my dad about it. “Dad, what is this paper called? It’s so shiny and beautiful!” I inquired, holding the aluminu m foil up for him to see. My dad chuckled and replied, “That’s called aluminum foil, and it has many uses.” Naturally, my curiosity was piqued (激发), and I eagerly asked, “What can it be used for?” My dad smiled and said, “Why don’t you research it yourself? It’ll-be a great opportunity for you to learn something new.” With a sense of excitement, I grabbed my phone and started researching on the Internet. I fou nd out that it is a type of metal paper called aluminum foil, which is moisture-proof (防潮的). As I looked through the information, an idea popped into my head. What if I put some water in a smal l aluminum foil container and heated it in the microwave? Would the water boil? Unable to resist-the urge to experiment, I cut a piece of aluminum foil and folded it into a sm all square container. I added some water into the container and placed it in the microwave. With m y eyes wide open, I anxiously watched the aluminum foil container, filled with anticipation. But b efore I could see any changes in the water, suddenly a burst of fire erupted from the microwave, su rprising me. I quickly rushed to unplug the appliance and collapsed onto the floor, feeling a great f ear. 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。 My dad, hearing the sound, hurried over and asked, “What happened?” ________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Reflecting on my dad’s instructive words, I began cleaning the mess. ___________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________
