Oiled, and wearing a bikini, she found herself under bright lights on stage, twisting to show off her muscles alongside people half her age. Flowers had a natural talent for freestyle swimming as a child, but struggled with her body image. Self-conscious and often shy, Flowers went on to marry and divorce twice. “It all affected my self-esteem and I ended up with an eating disorder for many years,” she says. “It was getting worse and worse until I was hospitalized for issues relating to my weight loss at 58. That was my wake-up call.” Once she had built up some strength and was discharged, the youngest of her two sons, Ryan, encouraged Flowers to start taking care of her body through exercise and to see food as a way of keeping fit. He directed her towards home workout videos and after noticing that the instructor on one of the DVDs was older than her, she decided to give it a try. After five years of home routines, and slowly building her confidence by working out with Ryan every day in his local gym, Flowers started to gain muscle mass. “I wanted to push myself,” she says. “I felt stronger and other people would come up and say that they wished they could have guns like mine!” The compliments sparked an idea. Ryan decided to film some of their sessions and upload them to TikTok and Instagram. After a video of Flowers twisting those guns went viral, her growing online following flooded her accounts with positive comments. She decided to enter a bodybuilding contest as a target after she became an internet celebrity. Now 67, Flowers has won four more bodybuilding medals, with more than 1 million Instagram and TikTok followers and has gained sponsorship from clothing brand Young LA, making her the oldest sponsored female athlete in the US. She still works out every day, starting with a 10- minute ab routine and 130 pushups at home before heading to the gym for a two-hour session with Ryan, who has since left his job in business development to train his mother full-time. 24. What does “wake-up call” in paragraph 2 refer to according to the passage? A. Her experience in hospital. B. Her lack of self- consciousness. C. Her struggle with body image. D. Her eating disorder for many years. 25. What has mainly contributed to Flowers becoming a bodybuilder? A. The video going viral. B. The instructor on one of the DVDS. C. The guidance of her son. D. The compliments from other people. 26. Why did Flowers keep working out after the video went viral? A. To help Ryan develop his job. B. To inspire her Instagram and TikTok followers. C. To compete in a bodybuilding contest. D. To gain sponsorship from clothing brand Young LA. 27. Which saying best highlights Flowers’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. It’s never too old to learn. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了64岁的Marlene Flowers重新出发成为健美明星的故事。 24.词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“It was getting worse and worse until I was hospitalized for issues relating to my weight loss at 58.(病情越来越严重，直到我在58岁时因为体重减轻而住院)”可知，她在58岁因体重问题住院的经历成了她的警钟。由此可知，划线词组的意思是“住院经历”，故选A项。 25.细节理解题。根据第三段“Once she had built up some strength and was discharged, the youngest of her two sons, Ryan, encouraged Flowers to start taking care of her body through exercise and to see food as a way of keeping fit.(当弗劳尔斯恢复了一些体力并出院后，她两个儿子中最小的儿子瑞安(Ryan)鼓励她开始通过锻炼来照顾自己的身体，并将食物视为保持健康的一种方式)”可知，儿子的指导促使她成为一名健美运动员，故选C项。 26.细节理解题。根据最后一段“She decided to enter a bodybuilding contest as a target after she became an internet celebrity.(成为网红后，她决定参加健美比赛作为目标)”可知，成为网络名人后，她决定参加健美比赛，故选C项。 27.推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2021, at 64 years old, Marlene Flowers entered her first bodybuilding competition. Oiled, and wearing a bikini, she found herself under bright lights on stage, twisting to show off her muscles alongside people half her age.(2021年，64岁的马琳·弗劳尔斯第一次参加健美比赛。涂了油，穿着比基尼，她发现自己站在舞台上明亮的灯光下，和年龄只有她一半的人一起扭动着身体，展示着她的肌肉)”及最后一段“She decided to enter a bodybuilding contest as a target after she became an internet celebrity. Now 67, Flowers has won four more bodybuilding medals, with more than 1 million Instagram and TikTok followers and has gained sponsorship from clothing brand Young LA, making her the oldest sponsored female athlete in the US.(成为网红后，她决定参加健美比赛作为目标。现年67岁的弗劳尔斯又赢得了四枚健美奖牌，在Instagram和TikTok上拥有超过100万的粉丝，并获得了服装品牌Young LA的赞助，使她成为美国年龄最大的受赞助女运动员)”可推知，“活到老学到老”能突出弗劳尔斯的人生故事，故选B项。 C (河北省石家庄市辛集市2023-2024学年高三上学期2月期末)Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he deter-mines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before? We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can’t change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept. Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence whether they are driving a truck, or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson. 28. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ________. A. loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativity B. age is not a barrier to achieving one’s goal C. misery inspires a man to fight against his fate D. disability cannot stop a man´s pursuit of success 29. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped. B. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead. C. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind. D. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind. 30. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5? A. A tough man can tolerate suffering. B. A wise man can live without self-pity. C. A man should try to satisfy people around him. D. A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life. B. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work. C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning. D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章以名著《堂吉诃德》的作者Cervantes的事迹为例，讲述了想要成功，就要不断地学习，这样人生才有意义。 28.推理判断题。根据第一段“He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he deter-mines to write a book.(他今年53岁。他成年后的大部分时间都在与债务和不幸作着失败的斗争。一次战争受伤使他的左手失去了功能，他经常被关进监狱。不知出于什么动机，他决定写一本书)”可知，Cervantes已经53岁，不再年轻，前半生一直生活在不幸中，但即便这样，他还是决定写一本书；根据第二段“The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.(事实证明，这本书350多年来一直受到全世界的欢迎)”可知，他最终实现了目标，并取得了巨大成功。由此推知，文章用Cervantes的故事作为开始，是为了告诉读者年龄不是实现目标的障碍，故选B。 29.推理判断题。根据第四段“Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.(没什么让我们惊讶的。我们失去了惊奇感。但是，如果我们愿意学习，机会无处不在)”可知，从第4段可以推断出机会垂青于有好奇心的人，故选C。 30.推理判断题。根据第五段“We learn to bear with the things we can’t change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.(我们学会忍受我们无法改变的事情。我们学会避免自怜。我们知道，无论我们多么努力地取悦别人，有些人永远不会爱我们——这个想法一开始会让人烦恼，但最终会让人放松。)”可推知，作者是想告诉我们，要学会用恰当的方式来对待生活，故选D。 31.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第六段“With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.(有了高度的动力和热情，我们就能继续学习。然后我们就会知道在我们的生活中有意义是多么重要。然而，只有当我们对比我们的小我更重要的事情做出承诺时，我们才能获得意义，无论是对所爱的人，对人类同胞，对工作，还是对某些道德观念。)”可知，作者的目的是为了给人们指导人们如何过上有意义的成年生活，故选A。 D (2024届浙江省杭州市高三下学期二模)Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged(利用)as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 32. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 33. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 34. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 35. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。 32.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.  In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.(直到2035年左右，教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉)”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的，故选D。 33.细节理解题。根据第二段“Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.(学校已经被不受年龄限制的“学习中心”所取代)”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生，故选A。 34.词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Being Human and the History of Humanity(做人和人类历史)”可知，做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，划线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 35.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.(在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点，我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子)”可知，本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education(教育远景)”，故选B。 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。 (2024届内蒙古自治区包头市高三下学期三模) How to Develop a Lifelong Leaning Habit To be perfectly honest, I used to think the only way to learn was in school, but I was not always a big fan of “conventional learning”, unless it was a course that really interested me. It was not until I expanded my own definition of learning that my lifelong learning journey began. My travelling experiences, the books I read, and even my own missteps—all became a means for learning. Now I cannot learn enough or get my hands on enough information. ___36___ The more I engage and employ lifelong learning, the more I experience some really cool thing. Not only has lifelong learning improved my brain functions, but also it has supported my professional success and personal growth. Here are some simple ways to begin training your brain to desire lifelong learning. First of all, you can create an objective for your learning. For example, maybe your objective is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax. ___37___ Another important way is to start small. If lifelong learning has not been your “thing”, trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with. ___38___ For example, instead of trying to read a certain number of pages in a book every day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three times a week? ___39___ ___40___ If learning feels like a duty or something you have to do, you will obviously do it less. Have some fun with your learning. For example, for every new learning opportunity you take, think of some entertaining ways to learn. Give yourself a gold star. Make learning a game. Whatever is going to make learning fun for you, make sure to do it! A. You lose interest in those things. B. Try to finish one thing in fewer steps. C. The most important thing is to make it fun. D. Lifelong learning is like potato chips to me—I want more. E. A better way is to break down your learning into bite-sized pieces. F. After you have fixed that small habit into place, you can then add to it. G. Having an objective not only makes learning beneficial but gives it a purpose. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. E 39. F 40. C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些培养终身学习习惯的方法。 36.根据上文“Now I cannot learn enough or get my hands on enough information(现在我学不到足够的东西，也找不到足够的信息)”可知，作者想要学习更多的知识，D 选项“Lifelong learning is like potato chips to me—I want more.(终身学习对我来说就像薯片一样，我想要更多)”符合语境，故选D项。 37.根据上文“First of all, you can create an objective for your learning. For example, maybe your objective is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax.(首先，你可以为你的学习设定一个目标。例如，也许你的目标是减轻压力或找到不同的放松方式)”可知，本段强调目标在学习中的重要性，G 选项“Having an objective not only makes learning beneficial but gives it a purpose.(有一个目标不仅能让学习变得有益，还能给它一个目的)”符合语境，故选G项。 38.根据上文“Another important way is to start small. If lifelong learning has not been your “thing”, trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with.(另一个重要的方法是从小处着手。如果终身学习不是你的“菜”，试图一口吞下这头学习大象会让你更难坚持下去)”以及下文“For example, instead of trying to read a certain number of pages in a book every day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three times a week?(例如，与其每天试图读一定数量的书页，为什么不开始每周读 15 分钟，每周读两到三次呢？)”可知，此处作者建议将学习目标分解成小块，E 选项“A better way is to break down your learning into bite-sized pieces.(一个更好的方法是把你的学习分解成小块)”符合语境，故选E项。 39.根据上文“For example, instead of trying to read a certain number of pages in a book every day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three times a week?(例如，与其每天试图读一定数量的书页，为什么不开始每周读 15 分钟，每周读两到三次呢)”可知，作者建议从小目标开始，F项“After you have fixed that small habit into place, you can then add to it.(当你把这个小习惯固定下来之后，你就可以增加它了)”符合语境，故选F项。 40.根据下文“If learning feels like a duty or something you have to do, you will obviously do it less. Have some fun with your learning.(如果学习感觉像是一种责任或你必须做的事情，你显然会做得更少。享受学习的乐趣)”可知，此处强调学习的乐趣，C选项“The most important thing is to make it fun.(最重要的是让它变得有趣)”符合语境，故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (改编自2024届河南省济洛平许四市高三下学期三模)This fall marks a new chapter for the hundreds of students on Carthage College campus.

This means of arriving at the truth requires the observation of concrete events followed by the development of a theory to explain ___56___ has been observed. In other words, it is a way to proceed from the particular to the general, from the specific to the abstract. However, it is in the nature of scientists to inquire ___57___ every possibility, and this means they often discover things no one has ever seen or noticed before. Our generalized theories therefore never cease ___58___(change). In fact, most of our new knowledge ___59___(gain)by the observation of things we have never seen before. Before the first black swan was seen, the ___60___(assume)was that all swans were white, which is known as the “black swan theory”. How could we have known otherwise? There will always be “unknown unknowns” such as black swans, ___61___ some people criticize those who dare to suggest their existence. We should always be ___62___(object)and question what we think we know. The world in the future is ___63___ to be different from now. However much we understand, ___64___ will always be a remote possibility of discovering “a black swan”. Accordingly, our ___65___(comprehend) of the world will change. Therefore, we should keep up with new developments in all domains of knowledge— “black swans” can change history. 【答案】 56. what 57. into 58. to change 59. is gained 60. assumption 61. though/although 62. objective 63. bound 64. there 65. comprehension 【语篇导读】本文是篇议论文。作者认为我们对于宇宙的许多认知都是建立在归纳推理的基础上的，但是随着世界的发展，我们对世界的理解也是在改变和发展的。所以，我们应该接受“黑天鹅”理论，跟上发展的脚步。 56.【答案】what 【解析】考查名词从句。此处是宾语从句，并且在从句中作主语，应用what引导，指代“观察到的东西”，故填what。句意：这种获得真理的方法需要用对跟随一种理论发展而来的具体事件的观察来解释所观察到的东西。 57.【答案】into 【解析】考查动词短语中的介词。动词短语inquire into，后接every possibility作介词into的宾语，故填into。句意：然而，科学家的本质是探究每一种可能性，这意味着他们经常发现以前从未见过或注意到的东西。 58.【答案】to change 【解析】考查非谓语动词。cease to do sth.停止做某事，故填to change。句意：所以我们的普遍理论从未停止改变。 59.【答案】is gained 【解析】考查被动语态语态。此处用谓语动词，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时态；根据句意及介词by可知，本句要用被动语态be done；又因为主语是不可数名词knowledge(知识) ，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，故填is gained。句意：事实上，我们的大部分新知识都是通过观察我们从未见过的事物而获得的。 60.【答案】c 【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。分析句子可知，此处为名词；由谓语动词was可以判断，应用名词单数形式。故填assumption。句意：在看到第一只黑天鹅之前，人们假设所有的天鹅都是白色的，这被称为“黑天鹅理论”。 61.【答案】though/although 【解析】考查状语从句。句意：总会有“未知的未知数”，比如黑天鹅，尽管有些人批评那些胆敢暗示它们存在的人。根据句子结构和句意可知，此处使用从属连词though/although(尽管)引导让步状语从句，故填though/although。 62.【答案】objective 【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)名词。连系动词be后面要用形容词作表语，故填objective。句意：我们应该始终保持客观，对于我们以为自己知道的事情提出质疑。 63.【答案】bound 【解析】考查固定短语。be bound to一定会。句意：未来的世界一定会与现在不同。 64.【答案】there 【解析】考查特殊句型。there be句型，故填there。句意：无论我们了解多少，发现“黑天鹅”的可能性总是微乎其微的。 65.【答案】comprehension 【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。形容词性物主代词our后应为名词，故填comprehension(为不可数名词)。句意：相应地，我们对世界的理解也会改变。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文(满分15分) (2024届黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市高三下学期三模)一句名言“It is never too old to learn.”引发了你的思考，请你写一篇感想与同学交流。 内容包括：1. 你对这句话的理解； 2. 这句话对你的影响。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The profound quote “It is never too old to learn” holds a simple yet powerful truth.

I was happy and relieved, yet worried and anxious about the future. What was my first job going to be like? This short walk was going to launch me into a whole new world. How would I manage? Would I be able to carve out a career for myself? My name was called and I moved into the lights. I heard the applause. I knew my parents would be watching and smiling at each other and I tried to relax. I held my certificate against my breast and smiled at the camera. Before I knew it, the ceremony was over and the curtain had come down on my university life. Where had the time gone? Four years had disappeared in a flash. I stood with my certificate in hand and reflected on those four years. I remembered arriving at university on my very first day, pausing at the gate to look down the long drive. I could feel my hands sweating slightly and I had to hold on tight to my suitcase. Would I be able to fit in? Did this new phase of my life mean that I was now mature enough to be entirely responsible for my own successes and failures? I took a few seconds to compose myself and to take in the scene that was laid out before me. The campus was alive with people. Anxious parents and excited students were talking in small groups, carrying suitcases or walking in and out of dormitory buildings. I wondered if the first day of school was always such a circus. I took a deep breath and carried on into the heart of the campus. Little did I know that I was about to experience the best four years of my life. 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。 Paragraph 1: I remembered cooperating with my classmates on group projects. _________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I heard my parents’ voices calling me and I returned to the moment. _______________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】   I remembered cooperating with my classmates on group projects. Everyone would be assigned a specific task, and my role was usually to produce the presentation. We would meet in the school cafeteria to bounce ideas off each other, and would laugh and argue and laugh some more as we learnt to work together as a team. I realized that learning didn’t have to be a solo effort and that working with other people could be much more stimulating and productive than working alone. I heard my parents’ voices calling me and I returned to the moment. After the graduation ceremony we headed home by train. I looked out of the carriage window at the world speeding by. The journey home gave me time to think about what the future might hold for me. University has changed me. Not only am I now more intellectually prepared for the world of work, but I am also more confident about my own abilities. I have grown as an adult and I have also discovered more about myself. Yes, I am ready for a new phase in my life. 【文本解读】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。作者站在舞台上领取了自己的学位证书，对自己的未来又担心又焦虑，回忆起在学校的点点滴滴，作者意识到自己度过了美好的大学时光，在回家的路途中，作者意识到大学改变了自己，自己准备好开启人生的新篇章了。 【详解】 【续写衔接】 ①由续写第一段首句“我记得在小组项目上和同学们合作过”可知，第一段可以回忆大学期间小组 一起合作的情况。 ②由续写第二段首句“我听到父母的声音在呼唤我，我回到了当下”可知，第二段可以描写作者的 思绪被拉回了现实，毕业典礼结束后作者和父母一起回家，在途中作者意识到自己已经准备好开 启人生新篇章了。 【续写线索】回忆小组合作的情况——父母的呼喊让作者回到现实——在回家的途中作者思考未来——准备好开始人生新的阶段 【词汇激活】 行为类 ①制作：produce/make ②与……探讨想法：bounce ideas off…/discuss ideas with… ③合作：work together/cooperate 情绪类 ①激励人的：stimulating/inspiring ②对……有信心：be confident about/have faith in 【高分句型】 1.

B (湖北省重点高中智学联盟2024-2025学年高三上学期10月联考)In 2021, at 64 years old, Marlene Flowers entered her first bodybuilding competition. Oiled, and wearing a bikini, she found herself under bright lights on stage, twisting to show off her muscles alongside people half her age. Flowers had a natural talent for freestyle swimming as a child, but struggled with her body image. Self-conscious and often shy, Flowers went on to marry and divorce twice. “It all affected my self-esteem and I ended up with an eating disorder for many years,” she says. “It was getting worse and worse until I was hospitalized for issues relating to my weight loss at 58. That was my wake-up call.” Once she had built up some strength and was discharged, the youngest of her two sons, Ryan, encouraged Flowers to start taking care of her body through exercise and to see food as a way of keeping fit. He directed her towards home workout videos and after noticing that the instructor on one of the DVDs was older than her, she decided to give it a try. After five years of home routines, and slowly building her confidence by working out with Ryan every day in his local gym, Flowers started to gain muscle mass. “I wanted to push myself,” she says. “I felt stronger and other people would come up and say that they wished they could have guns like mine!” The compliments sparked an idea. Ryan decided to film some of their sessions and upload them to TikTok and Instagram. After a video of Flowers twisting those guns went viral, her growing online following flooded her accounts with positive comments. She decided to enter a bodybuilding contest as a target after she became an internet celebrity. Now 67, Flowers has won four more bodybuilding medals, with more than 1 million Instagram and TikTok followers and has gained sponsorship from clothing brand Young LA, making her the oldest sponsored female athlete in the US. She still works out every day, starting with a 10- minute ab routine and 130 pushups at home before heading to the gym for a two-hour session with Ryan, who has since left his job in business development to train his mother full-time. 24. What does “wake-up call” in paragraph 2 refer to according to the passage? A. Her experience in hospital. B. Her lack of self- consciousness. C. Her struggle with body image. D. Her eating disorder for many years. 25. What has mainly contributed to Flowers becoming a bodybuilder? A. The video going viral. B. The instructor on one of the DVDS. C. The guidance of her son. D. The compliments from other people. 26. Why did Flowers keep working out after the video went viral? A. To help Ryan develop his job. B. To inspire her Instagram and TikTok followers. C. To compete in a bodybuilding contest. D. To gain sponsorship from clothing brand Young LA. 27. Which saying best highlights Flowers’s life story? A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. It’s never too old to learn. C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. C (河北省石家庄市辛集市2023-2024学年高三上学期2月期末)Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he deter-mines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before? We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can’t change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept. Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence whether they are driving a truck, or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson. 28. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ________. A. loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativity B. age is not a barrier to achieving one’s goal C. misery inspires a man to fight against his fate D. disability cannot stop a man´s pursuit of success 29. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped. B. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead. C. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind. D. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind. 30. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5? A. A tough man can tolerate suffering. B. A wise man can live without self-pity. C. A man should try to satisfy people around him. D. A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life. B. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work. C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning. D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career. D (2024届浙江省杭州市高三下学期二模)Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged(利用)as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 32. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 33. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 34. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 35. What is the suitable title for the text? A. An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future 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。 (2024届内蒙古自治区包头市高三下学期三模) How to Develop a Lifelong Leaning Habit To be perfectly honest, I used to think the only way to learn was in school, but I was not always a big fan of “conventional learning”, unless it was a course that really interested me. It was not until I expanded my own definition of learning that my lifelong learning journey began. My travelling experiences, the books I read, and even my own missteps—all became a means for learning. Now I cannot learn enough or get my hands on enough information. ___36___ The more I engage and employ lifelong learning, the more I experience some really cool thing. Not only has lifelong learning improved my brain functions, but also it has supported my professional success and personal growth. Here are some simple ways to begin training your brain to desire lifelong learning. First of all, you can create an objective for your learning. For example, maybe your objective is to reduce your stress levels or find different ways to relax. ___37___ Another important way is to start small. If lifelong learning has not been your “thing”, trying to eat this learning elephant in one bite makes it more difficult to stick with. ___38___ For example, instead of trying to read a certain number of pages in a book every day, why not start with 15 minutes, two or three times a week? ___39___ ___40___ If learning feels like a duty or something you have to do, you will obviously do it less. Have some fun with your learning. For example, for every new learning opportunity you take, think of some entertaining ways to learn. Give yourself a gold star. Make learning a game. Whatever is going to make learning fun for you, make sure to do it! A. You lose interest in those things. B. Try to finish one thing in fewer steps. C. The most important thing is to make it fun. D.

I was happy and relieved, yet worried and anxious about the future. What was my first job going to be like? This short walk was going to launch me into a whole new world. How would I manage? Would I be able to carve out a career for myself? My name was called and I moved into the lights. I heard the applause. I knew my parents would be watching and smiling at each other and I tried to relax. I held my certificate against my breast and smiled at the camera. Before I knew it, the ceremony was over and the curtain had come down on my university life. Where had the time gone? Four years had disappeared in a flash. I stood with my certificate in hand and reflected on those four years. I remembered arriving at university on my very first day, pausing at the gate to look down the long drive. I could feel my hands sweating slightly and I had to hold on tight to my suitcase. Would I be able to fit in? Did this new phase of my life mean that I was now mature enough to be entirely responsible for my own successes and failures? I took a few seconds to compose myself and to take in the scene that was laid out before me. The campus was alive with people. Anxious parents and excited students were talking in small groups, carrying suitcases or walking in and out of dormitory buildings. I wondered if the first day of school was always such a circus. I took a deep breath and carried on into the heart of the campus. Little did I know that I was about to experience the best four years of my life. 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。 Paragraph 1: I remembered cooperating with my classmates on group projects. _________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I heard my parents’ voices calling me and I returned to the moment. _______________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
