Over the next six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding. 24. Why did the author decide to write a novel? A. Because she hated her previous jobs. B. Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so. C. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel. D. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature. 25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A. She became less stubborn. B. She became more stubborn. C. She suddenly lost confidence. D. She gradually gained confidence. 26. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel? A. An agent who she signed with. B. A rights assistant she once worked with. C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents. D. A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant. 27. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer? A. Tough but rewarding. B. Interesting and smooth. C. Difficult but thrilling. D. Complicated and fruitless. C A herd of life-sized elephant sculptures is making its way across America to promote coexistence between humans and animals. Called the Great Elephant Migration, the traveling exhibition features 100 replicas (仿制品) of real-life Indian elephants made by roughly 200 artists in southern India. The first public appearance of the artworks was in London in 2021, and some of the sculptures are now permanently on display in the gardens of two royal family residences. After making a stop in India earlier this year, they’ve now made it across the Atlantic. The herd is spending the summer in Newport, Rhode Island, before moving on to New York City’s Meatpacking District in the fall. From there, it will head to Florida, Montana and California. Organizers hope the exhibition serves as a reminder that humans must learn to coexist with wild animals. This idea is especially important since human activities-including climate change and development-are primarily responsible for animals’ habitat loss. The large sculptures are made of lantana camara, an invasive tropical bush that’s crowding elephants out of their natural habitats in India. As the weed outcompetes the plants that elephants like to eat, they’re heading into human-developed lands, like coffee and tea plantations. Even so, people mostly live in harmony with elephants in India, even as the populations of both species have grown. India’s human population is now 1.4 billion, while the number of elephants stands at 25,000 to 30,000. Artists from different communities in India crafted the sculptures based on elephants they know personally. Recognizing that animals have their own distinct personalities is “vitally important for the coexistence movement,” says researcher and conservationist Tarsh Thekaekara in the statement. “Individual animals may cause damage or pose a threat to humans, but not an entire species,” he adds. 28. Why does the traveling exhibition take place? A. To promote cross-cultural communication. B. To show the beauty of elephant sculptures. C. To educate people to protect the environment. D. To encourage humans to coexist with animals. 29. Where are the elephant sculptures on display in summer? A. In London. B. In Newport. C. In New York. D. In Florida. 30. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Wild animals threaten human’s survival and life. B. The artists in India are merely interested in elephants. C. Knowing the personalities of animals helps coexist with them. D. The elephant sculptures are crafted based on those in the zoos. 31. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The Great Elephant Migration is on the way. B. Wild animals live in harmony with the Indians. C. Many life-size elephant sculptures are crafted by Indian artists. D. A flock of life-size elephant sculptures is marching across America. D Interactive software that “reads” and analyses footprints left by black rhinos (犀牛) can be used to monitor the movements of the animals in the wild, giving conservationists a new way to keep watch on the endangered species and help keep it safe from poachers (偷猎者), according to a Duke University-led study. The software, called the Footprint Identification Technique (FIT), uses advanced technology to analyze more than 100 measurements of a rhino's footprint. Because each rhino's footprint is as special as a human fingerprint, the analyzed images can be collected electronically in a global database of previously collected footprint images for matching. “If you find a match, you can identify the individual animal who left the mark and, by plotting the locations of all the other places where marks have been seen, track its movements without disturbing it or coming into close enough contact with it,” said Zoe Jewell, a professor at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment, who co-led the study and is co-creator of FIT. “It's a cost-effective approach that not only protects the health of the rhino and the human, but also brings a centuries-old tracking skill into the 21st Century,” she said. Jewell and her colleagues are now working with Namibia's Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism to train wildlife conservationists, land managers and local guides how to use FIT. Namibia is home to an estimated 2,000 black rhinos, or about 90% of the species' total population worldwide. Though legally owned by the government, the animals are distributed geographically on private lands across the country. The FIT software can also do a survey of footprints throughout the protected area and take measurements from each footprint to estimate the number of rhinos in that area. This can be useful information for calculation resource needs to monitor the animals effectively. This creates an interactive library that anti-poaching patrols(反偷猎巡逻)can use to search for animals at the highest risk, including those whose footprints haven’t been showing up in recent years. 32. What is the purpose of the software? A. To promote the development of technology. B. To protect black rhinos from being hunted. C. To analyze the footprints of illegal poachers. D. To save endangered species across the world. 33. What’s the advantage of the software? A. It owns various functions. B. It goes to the market. C. It is perfectly practical. D. It is more than popular. 34. What does Zoe Jewell say about the approach? A. It brings the best advantage for the lowest cost. B. It helps increase the population of black rhinos. C. It raises people's awareness of the environment. D. It strengthens the tie between humans and nature. 35. Which of the following best describes the future of rhinos? A. Optimistic. B. Hopeless. C. Worrying. D. Uncertain. 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。 If you’re always comparing yourself to your peers, you might be low in confidence and unsure of yourself. Here are some tips on how to stop comparing yourself to others. Write down your positive traits. When you ignore your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. You might focus on their strengths and ignore your own completely. 36 By being aware of your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself and build up your self﹣confidence. Keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal helps you recognize the things you may take for granted so you can fully appreciate them. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy. 37 Explain how they influence your life in detail. For example, if you jog in the park every day, you might express how you’re grateful for your health and how jogging helps you overcome stress at work. 38 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. Take advantage of all chances to improve your skills and techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. Only by making efforts to improve your abilities can you make yourself happy. Compete against yourself. 39 Instead, use comparison to become an improved version of yourself. Set goals for yourself and try to improve your own personal best. When you set a goal for yourself, track your progress so that you can see how you are moving toward that goal. That way Overcoming comparison is a continuous process, but it is possible! 40 A. Take control over your life. B. Work on improving your abilities. C. Don’t compare your life to other people’s. D. Write down why you’re grateful for them. E. With time and practice, you can become the best version of yourself. F. Appreciate others and use their success to motivate you to work hard. G. To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. 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。 In 2016, Lorna challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to distance himself from social media until he was 18.

It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore. But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun. 注意：1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好； Paragraph 1: A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 高三英语 第 10 页 共 10 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
