I got into the exam room and forgot almost everything that I studied.It disappeared from my mind like dropping cotton candy into water.I felt dizzy (头晕的)．It was like I could see myself in the future fearing the moment when I finally got my score.I decided to take a bathroom break.It might help me cool off and get everything I studied back into my mind.It didn't work.Standing in the bathroom I felt as if I was never going to succeed.But I had to return to the room.At last，I just wrote down as much as I knew and turned in my test. After the test I heard everyone else in the class saying how easy the test was.My eyes twitched (抽动) and I felt a tear flowing down.Why did I have anxiety？Why couldn't I be normal? I texted my parents，saying I was a failure.They replied，“I'm sorry you didn't do well.But you can't always be perfect.Doing your best is all that matters.” I learned a lesson from what they said，I guess.I can't always be perfect.It's important to study hard，but I shouldn't stick to perfectionism.Having a positive mentality is the main way I will get a good grade.Science test tomorrow and I will think in a positive way. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在数学考试前感到压力很大，表现不佳，但他认识到积极的心态比追求完美的表现更重要。 24．What was the author's major problem before the math test?

Here is how to put this idea into action.Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag.For the dirty ones，rinse them out first.Store the bag of clean aluminum cans.Once you collect about one hundred cans or more，take the cans to the recycle center yourself.There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound.And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans.Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice. By now，you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor.Consider this：Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the direction that history takes？The answer is probably no.What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing？History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community.And that will surely be powerful enough to make a bigger difference. Go to your community or your school and spread your idea.Share your idea and save your aluminum cans with other people.One hundred people can speak louder than one.And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred times.And if more people join in the cause around the world，an even larger difference can be made，and more people in need will enjoy the benefits. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个可以帮助穷人的想法，那就是以不同的方式回收铝罐，对环境也有好处。文章介绍了这个办法具体的操作流程，指出虽然这是件小事，但是如果有很多人参与进来，一定可以产生更大的影响。 28．What's special about the new idea? A．It benefits the poor. B．It saves resources. C．It makes profits. D．It involves cleaners. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Anyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea—recycling aluminum (铝) cans in a different way，which is apparently also good for the environment.”可知，这个新想法的特别之处是它有利于穷人。故选A。 29．What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A．Dirty cans do not sell well. B．The recycle center is conveniently located. C．A hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds. D．You decide who receives the money. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Once you collect about one hundred cans or more，take the cans to the recycle center yourself.There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound.And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans.Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.”可知，你可以决定谁得到这笔钱。故选D。 30．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A．The collective will of people. B．The direction history takes. C．A great individual or event. D．The neighbourhood you live in. 答案：A 解析：代词指代题。根据画线词上、下文可知，历史证明只有整个社会的集体意志才会产生巨大影响，此处承接上文，指出人们的集体意志必将强大到足以产生更大的影响。故画线词指的是“人们的集体意志”。故选A。 31．Which of the following does the writer want to tell us? A．Don't put the cart before the horse. B．Rome is not built in one day. C．Many hands make light work. D．No man can do two things at once. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Go to your community or your...people in need will enjoy the benefits.”可知，作者想告诉我们“人多力量大”的道理。故选C。 D (2024·江西省高二上期中) When we talk more broadly of body language，rather than good postures，we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom.In particular，body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures. You might know about Amy Cuddy's famous Ted Talk and her incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts.Cuddy and her team study body language，particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses. “High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence，which can help you feel more self-confident，even after only two minutes.Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.For example，bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs，put their hands behind their heads，and kick their feet up onto their desks.Meanwhile，people take low-power positions when they're feeling helpless or defeated.They close up，arms around themselves，taking up the smallest space. Some even more recent studies took this even further：A study by researchers from Columbia and Harvard Universities showed that body language symbolizing power can actually affect our decision-making，unintentionally.The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive，powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses.Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control，but were 45% more likely to take risky actions. “This isn't about what your body language is communicating to others; it's about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind，which changes your behavior，which changes your outcomes，” said Cuddy. So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life，where should you start? 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现，高权力姿势能够提高个人自信心，进而影响个人决策。文章最后给出了建议，提醒人们从改变自己的身体语言开始，改变自己的思考和行为，从而实现更好的生活。 32．Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text? A．Sitting with hands crossed in the lap. B．Arms raised in a “V” above the head. C．Standing with your legs open. D．Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Meanwhile，people take low-power positions when they're feeling helpless or defeated.They close up，arms around themselves，taking up the smallest space.”可推断，手交叉放在腿上坐着，缩小自己占用的空间，属于“低权利”姿势。故选A。 33．What can we say about people in the expansive poses? A．They are hesitant. B．They are very shy. C．They feel out of control. D．They feel more confident. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“‘High-power’ poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence，which can help you feel more self-confident，even after only two minutes.”及第四段“The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive，powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses.Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control，but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.”可知，那些摆着扩张式的姿势的人通常会感觉更加自信。故选D。 34．What is the text mainly about? A．The posture of confidence. B．Cuddy's research on behavior. C．The surprising power of body language. D．The research about decision-making. 答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“In particular，body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了身体语言对动物以及人际关系的影响，特别是通过扩张性姿势来表达权力，即神奇的具有能量的肢体语言。故选C。 35．What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．How to correct bad habits. B．How to improve your body language. C．How posture affects your health. D．Why good posture matters for employees. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life，where should you start？”可知，此处强调如果想通过利用这些姿势的好处，想要过上更健康、更快乐的生活，要从哪儿开始。由此推知，接下来文章可能会讨论应该从哪些方面入手如何改善肢体语言。故选B。 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。 (2022·黑龙江鹤岗一中高二期末) 36 Moving from high school into college can be especially difficult because of the freedom students experience in college along with a new set of expectations. In high school, students usually live at home, and their parents take care of all their physical needs such as food and housing. 37 Parents are also there to offer help and make sure that the students' homework is done.During the school day, teachers are always around to tell the students what to do. 38 So students can often complete their homework and reading in a short time. 39 They may be responsible for shopping, paying bills, and doing laundry.They also may have to cook their own meals.Their parents are not around to help with homework or even to check if it has been done.Contrary to students in high school, students in college may have a lot of free time between classes, but must discipline themselves to use this time productively for homework and other assignments. 40 A．High school students have to bury themselves in piles of papers. B．Finally, the work itself is not so challenging. C．By contrast, in college, students often live away from home in dorms or apartments. D．In college, students may apply to a bank loan and others will try to find part-time jobs. E．Each new level of education brings new challenges and demands to students. F．Most importantly, college requires a higher level of thinking and a lot more work than high school. G．Students do not usually have to shop for their food, take time to pay bills, or even do their own laundry. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了每一个新的教育水平会给学生带来新的挑战和要求，大学和高中有着很多的不同。 36．答案：E 解析：根据后句可知，从高中进入大学可能会是特别难的，因为在大学学生可以体验到自由，但也有一系列新的期望。这是在解释说明段首句，故E项(每一个新的教育水平给学生带来新的挑战和要求)和下文语意上连接通顺。 37．答案：G 解析：根据前句可知，在高中时学生通常住在家里，他们的父母会照顾他们，如食物和起居方面。G项(学生通常不必亲自买食物，花时间付账单，甚至不用洗自己的衣服)能够具体解释父母是怎样照顾他们的。 38．答案：B 解析：根据前文可知，父母和老师在学生的学习中都会起到帮助作用；B项(最终，学习任务就没有那么有挑战性了)能够承接上文，且与下文“So students can often complete their homework and reading in a short time.(因此学生经常可以在短时间内完成作业和阅读)”构成因果关系。 39．答案：C 解析：上一段讲的是高中生活，根据空格后“They may be responsible for shopping, paying bills, and doing laundry.”可知，本段讲的是大学生活，故C项(与此相反，在大学里学生经常住在离家较远的宿舍或公寓里)符合语境。 40．答案：F 解析：根据前句可知，与高中生相比，大学生可能有很多空闲时间，但必须约束自己利用这段时间有效率地完成作业或其他任务。F项(最重要的是，大学需要学生比高中时有更高层次的思考和更多的学习)进一步说明大学与高中的不同，与前一句是递进关系。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2024·广东省阳江市高二上期中) As a child，I would sit through movies I loved over and over.I dreamed of someday having the ability to create 41 ． But school was difficult for me for many reasons，so becoming a screenwriter seemed 42 ．When I was fourteen，I was shocked when my 43 were made into a brochure that was 44 to every student.For a week or so，I was treated very 45 ．Previously invisible，I was now “a published poet” receiving praise and slaps(拍打) on the back.But an already deep-seated lack of 46 prevented me from having any serious hopes for a career in literature.I felt like those things only happened to other people. 47 I would look at thousands of books and ask myself，“Are all these people 48 than me，or did they just 49 harder？” So，I kept reading，writing and watching movies not only for 50 but to analyse how great stories are told.

When Matt was 11，they decided to send him to a private school since they could afford it.Changing the school environment brought about a sudden personality change for Matt，and his parents believed it was because putting him in a class of wealthy teenagers made him feel superior (有优越感的)． Through the years，the concerned parents tried to change this side of Matt.When he was 16，the parents made him take a part-time job to start taking financial responsibility seriously.At first，the parents thought it worked.However，after some time，the boy's parents realized he hadn't changed. One day，the couple planned to go on vacation.Instead of leaving May at home，they decided to take her with them and bought her a first-class ticket.While they were planning the vacation，Matt overheard them talking.He felt his parents' paying for May's first-class seat was unnecessary because their family had already paid for her. The mom was shocked.She said it was mean for him to say that，especially after everything May did for them.She added how grateful she was for May's help，as she gave up time for her own child to raise hers—Matt included.Still，Matt continued to argue his point.The mom grew tired of his selfishness and said he'd be the one in an economy seat and had to pay for an upgrade to first class if he wanted one.The boy nodded，thinking it was a joke. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 On the day of the trip，Matt realized his mom was telling the truth.
