B Have you ever read a book and found that one of the characters is exactly your carbon copy?And you relate to the character so well that you can't help but wonder if the author had somehow observed your own life?Well,that is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables for me. 努 There are many instances in the book where I particularly felt connected to little Anne, like the one where she does a performance at a school concert.Although she has gone up on 些 stage several times before,this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright.The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school.Never did I find the stage as 烯 intimidating as I did on that day.There's another situation where her friends don't miss home as much,while Anne is terribly homesick.I could imagine how Anne feels.I've always & wondered how people can move out of a place where they've spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow. 别 Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave,or the experience of growing up as a lonely child,or the beautiful moments of daydreaming,or her fondness for 熘 nature,Anne is me,through and through.As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature as a kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her 够 teachers,I saw myself in her. I grew so close to Anne and her friendships,her school and her dear little Green Gables 閣 and its inhabitants,that I couldn't control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That's what books do.They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you're aware that you're only a reader who exists outside.And although your existence inside that fictional world is imaginary and temporary,you end up cherishing that experience for a lifetime. 24.What does the underlined word "intimidating"in paragraph 2 mean?

A.She hated to part with her beloved characters B.She was moved by Anne's tough experience. C.She failed to understand the story in the book. D.She was unhappy with the ending of the book. C Cats have long been known for their independence,but this doesn't mean they don't form strong emotional bonds with their owners.Studies have shown that cats have such ability partly due to a special hormone ()which is released during social interactions and bonding. Cats are known for their purring(猫发出的呼噜声)，and rubbing against their owners as a way of showing affection.They may also follow their owners around,bring them "gifts" like dead mice,or lick them with their tongues.While these behaviors may not be as obvious as a dog waving its tail,they are clear signs of a cat's appreciation for their owner. As a cat owner,you can do something to strengthen your bond with your beloved friend. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for your cat is essential to building a strong bond.Cats need a space where they feel secure and at ease,with access to food,water,and a litter box.Additionally,cats are natural climbers and love to be up high.Consider installing some cat shelves to give your cat a bird's eye view of the surroundings. Playing with your cat is not only a fun way to spend time together,but it can also strengthen your bond with it.Cats love to play toys like string,feathers,or balls that can get them moving and engaging with you.Every cat is different and may have their own unique preferences.Some cats prefer interactive toys,while others enjoy playing with solo toys. Cats still value their personal space.It's important to respect your cat's boundaries and not force it into interactions it's not comfortable with.Recognizing and responding to your cat's body language can help you understand its needs.For example,if your cat's ears are flattened,it may be a sign that it's feeling stressed.In these situations,it's best to give your cat some space and allow it to relax on its own terms. 28.What have studies found about cats? A.They are the most independent animals. B.They are able to release some hormones. C.They enjoy interaction with other cats. D.They love humans partly out of nature. 29.How does a cat most probably show its love to the owner? A.By running after the owner crazily. B.By giving the owner a dead mouse. 【高三英语第5页（共10页）】 霸甲 C.By sticking out its tongue. D.By happily waving its tail. 30.What should the owner do when the cat feels anxious? A.Comfort it with a hug. B.Put it on a high shelf. C.Allow it to stay alone. D.Play a fun toy with it. 31.What's the text mainly about? A.How you can bond well with your cats B.What environment your cats will love. C.Why cats enjoy playing with humans. D.Whether cats appreciate their owners. D Walking into my grandmother's house,I watch her hands move in a fast-weaving motion as she's knitting a blanket.Those finished blankets with beautiful color patterns will be donated to children's hospitals. Her favorite pastime is creating,which provides her with satisfaction and purpose in life. The rest of my family have joined different art groups.We think it's beneficial for our health, and we are right.Creating arts and crafts reduces levels of cortisol,the body's stress hormone,past research has shown. Now,a new study by Dr.Helen Keyes,a British psychologist,and fellow researchers has found that creating arts and crafts can significantly boost well-being by providing meaningful spaces for expression and achievement.Although prior studies have shown its positive effects on people with mental health conditions,the general population has been understudied,according to the study,which was published recently in Frontiers in Public Health. That's why they sampled members of the general population without diagnosed( illnesses to see how arts and crafts might contribute to well-being and may reduce loneliness outcomes in everyday life.The researchers analyzed a sample of 7,182 participants living in England (age 16 and over). "We kept our analysis to arts and crafts at a broad level,rather than focusing on specific hobbies,as we know that people's preferences vary and they will find the craft or creative activity that works best for them,"Keyes said. More than 37%of survey respondents confirmed they had taken part in at least one craft activity over the last year.Their reported happiness,life satisfaction and sense of lives being worthwhile were positively correlated to participating in arts and crafts.But creating arts and crafts was not associated with decreased loneliness,which requires further investigation. "A sense of mastery is important for well-being,and there is inherently a sense of mastery associated with crafting and creating art;that is,people can see their progress and be proud of what they are producing,"Keyes said. 32.Why does the author's grandmother keep knitting? A.To communicate with kids. B.To improve physical fitness. C.To set an example to others D.To find the meaning of life. 【高三英语第6页（共10页）】 蓉甲 33.In which aspect is the new study different from the previous ones? A.The type of the studied participants. B.The number of the chosen hobbies. C.The methods of analyzing the data. D.The results of making arts and crafts 34.What may be studied next about creating arts and crafts? A.Whether it improves people's health. B.Why it fails to help reduce loneliness. C.How it is applied to hospital treatment. D.What other benefits it brings to people. 35.Which of the following may Dr.Helen Keyes agree with? A.The old and the sick benefit most from creating art. B.Some art activities are best for people's well-being. C.Creating art brings people a sense of achievement. D.The progress in learning art leads people to success. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Proficient writing skills are highly valuable in plenty of your careers.36 Add to that the occasional report,write-up,or presentation,and you end up writing a lot even if you don't think of yourself as a writer.Your writing improvement journey can begin right now with some helpful tips. 37 It may seem like adding extra work at first,but your patience and thoroughness are well worth the reward.Sketching out the general structure of your writing helps you avoid that rambling(不切题的)and how-do-I-land-this-plane kind of writing that leads to headaches and crunched-up papers being thrown in the trash. See your sentences as bodies of work.You know that an essay typically has an introduction,a body,and a conclusion.You should approach your sentences with a similar idea,although the components are a little different.After you write a sentence,check to make sure it has clear subjects,objects,articles,and verbs.If you're unsure about your sentence construction,read it out loud.38 If not,it needs some changes. Choose clarity over length.39 You don't have to polish your writing with complicated words to win readers'admiration.Regardless of your audience's backgrounds, professional or otherwise,they will appreciate clear ideas stated simply.When you can,opt for brief words and sentences.They carry more impact. Edit,edit,edit."The only kind of writing is rewriting."So stated Ernest Hemingway in his memoir（自传)一A Moveable Feast.As perhaps the most influential writer of the last hundred years,let's take his word for it.It is totally normal to finish a first draft,read it over,and find it's full of errors.Don't get down on yourself-those errors are just room for improvement.40 【高三英语第7页（共10页）】 篱® A.Make outlines. B.Expose yourself to challenges. C.Does it sound like something you would really say? D.Longer writing doesn't always translate to better or smarter.
