In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences.When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them. 高三英语 第 3 页，共 9 页 Types Introduction & Management Apple: Hard Core Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools.

B In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others' work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy（奖品）at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he's the oldest living champion of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year's competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him. 高三英语 第 4 页，共 9 页 Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C., for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together. When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled "uncinate", which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word "transept", an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn't brag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. "It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it's very important to try to get things as correct as possible," he said. "I've always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they' re careless about their thinking." "Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago," Cashore said. "The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade," he added. 24. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs? A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee. C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent. 25. What does the word "clinched" underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave. 26. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore? A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence. C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity. 27. What should we do to prepare for today's spelling bee according to Cashore? A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study. C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills. C Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues that you’ve got an oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries. “The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.” At the same awkward time, the oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealing more about themselves—and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive（侵入的）or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.” To satisfy the oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much -information), consider sharing something else—still personal but less invasive-that 高三英语 第 5 页，共 9 页 satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist they change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again. A compliment（称赞）also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary. To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer—or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world. 28. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. Shaping the image of an Oversharer. B. Stressing the importance of boundaries. C. Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk. D. Presenting different opinions about sharing. 29. Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues? A. They want sympathy from others. B. They long for closer connections with others. C. They are curious about others’ sufferings D. They see it as a way to break the ice. 30. What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line? A. Ignore their comments. B. Demanding an apology. C. Criticizing their rudeness. D. Declaring your boundaries. 31. What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph? A. To check her friend’s boundary. B. To show admiration for her friend. C. To shift the topic to her friend’s direction. D. To learn from her friend’s experience. D Have you ever worried that you might smell bad? Well, you do have a smell, but not in the way you think. The human body releases hundreds of chemical compounds into the air every day, and these compounds reveal much more than just our health habits; they can also indicate our health situations. In 1971, chemist Linus Pauling identified 250 different gaseous chemicals in our breath, known as VOCs. These VOCs originate from the body's metabolic（新陈代谢） processes and are excreted（排泄）through skin glands. While sweat contributes to these VOCs, it only accounts for a small portion of them. VOCs can reveal a lot about our health. For example, a sweet-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes. Besides breath, VOCs are also released from our skin, and feces（粪便）. A notable case involved Joy Milne, who noticed a change in her husband's smell 12 years before he was diagnosed（诊断）with Parkinson's disease. Known as "the woman who can smell Parkinson's," Joy has been using her keen sense of smell to help scientists develop a simple swab（拭子）test to diagnose the illnesses. Animals with advanced sense of smell, like dogs, have demonstrated they can detect various types of cancer in humans. Although these smells are often undetectable 高三英语 第 6 页，共 9 页 to the human nose, they provide evidence that our bodies emit different smells when something is wrong. The relationship between VOCs and our health is still being studied. Studies have already shown that they can predict a person's age within a few years based on their skin VOC profile. In one interview, Professor Morin stated, "We are at a relatively early stage in this research area, but we have already distinguished males from females based on the acidity of skin VOCs. We believe skin VOCs can reveal aspects of who we are, such as nutrition, health and stress. These signatures likely contain markers that can be used to diagnose disease." So, who knows — maybe one day we will be able to detect diseases simply by breathing into a device. 32. What do we know about the VOCs according to the text? A. Skin VOCs reveal more about our health conditions. B. The VOCs mostly come from sweat. C. VOCs only released from our skin can indicate health status. D. Our body's metabolic processes are the source of VOCs. 33. Why does the author mention animals in Paragraph 4? A. To show the amazing wisdom of animals. B. To stress we must depend on pets more to detect cancer. C. To explain VOCs have the capability to cure cancers. D. To highlight VOCs' potential as diagnostic markers. 34. What future technology might arise from the understanding of VOCs? A. Equipment that can analyze VOCs to diagnose diseases. B. Devices that can breathe out disease-causing VOCs. C. Advanced facilities that can use VOCs to cure diseases. D. Personalized perfumes that can mask disease-related VOCs. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Morin's Contributions to VOCs B. The Function of Sweat in Our Health C. Detecting Diseases Through Body Smells D. Body Smell Resulting in Diseases 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。 How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking（尖叫）. 36 Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable. Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. 37 It's often easier to teach them soft-spoken words compared to other types of sounds, Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. 38 Because this could strengthen 高三英语 第 7 页，共 9 页 the behavior you are trying to discourage. Avoid quick movements. It's possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. 39 If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in. Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in "flock calls" as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. 40 A. Understand bird behavior. B. Train your bird to be quiet. C. This may be especially useful for parrots. D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love. E. Try squawking back to let him know that you're safe. F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird's volume or tone. G. Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same. 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。 Sophie, who was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia (再生障碍性贫血) in September 2022.

But I found she was sleeping on the sofa. So I wanted to turn to my sister, Ashley. She was coloring in her room. When she saw me, unexpectedly, she said, “I’m hungry. Let’s make some sandwiches.” Unluckily, before making sandwiches in the kitchen, Ashley and I had a fight. We ran around the kitchen, throwing flour at each other. Flour flew in the air around us as we went into the living room. Suddenly, we heard footsteps outside. “Oh, no! Mom is coming!” I said. “What are we going to do about the mess?” I wondered nervously. It looked like it had snowed inside the house. Ashley quickly ran and took a vacuum cleaner, but she didn’t know how to turn it on. Suddenly, Mom walked in, tired from a long day’s work. After seeing the scene, she shook her head. Ashley and I ran to her and smiled. Mom didn’t get angry at us. But she seemed disappointed at the babysitter when she woke her up and showed her the mess. Once the babysitter had gone, Mom went into her room. “We’re not in trouble!” I shouted with joy. “But Mom didn’t look so good,” Ashley said to me in a sad voice. “What? She was smiling. Surely she looked good and happy!” I argued. Then Ashley continued, “Well, let’s go and see!” So we went to Mom’s bedroom door and secretly looked in. Mom was sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes. We returned to the living room. “Mom is crying because of our mess,” Ashley said. “Let’s clean the house. And she’s probably hungry now. Why don’t we make sandwiches for her? We just need to put some meat, vegetables, or something else in between two pieces of bread.” 注意：1. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答； 2. 续写词数应为 150 左右。 After hearing Ashley’s words, I agreed. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Seeing the kitchen become clean again, Ashley and I began to make sandwiches there. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
