Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2024·广州市高三年级调研测试]Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit's sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is wellspent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of ebuyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an awardwinning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melonknocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year's trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts, ” he said.
1.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To introduce an emerging profession.
B.To describe Lee's career transformation.
C.To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.
D.To explain the cultural role of watermelonknocking.
2.What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?
A.The popularity of watermelons.
B.The big harvest of watermelons.
C.An increase in watermelon prices.
D.A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.
3.Why does Lee describe himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”?
A.He was once an awardwinning soccer player.
B.He dreams of being a professional melonknocker.
C.He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.
D.He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.
4.What can we learn from Lee's words in the last paragraph?
A.Seeing is believing.
B.Every man has his value.
C.Great efforts and practice matter.
D.Excellence can be found in any profession.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一个新兴职业——西瓜质量检查员。
1.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。通读全文,根据第一段“Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit's sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.”可知,这篇文章的主要目的是介绍西瓜质量检查员这一新兴职业。
2.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据“Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit's sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers. ”及第四段中“As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand.”可知,网上西瓜销量的快速增长导致了对西瓜质量检查员的高需求。
3.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melonknocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer. ”可知,李作为西瓜质量检测员的主要任务是确保水果质量。这意味着他在销售之前维护水果的质量方面发挥着关键作用,类似于足球门将在保护球门方面的作用,所以李描述自己是一个“西瓜的守门员”,是因为他确保顾客享受到优质的西瓜。
4.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After a year's trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. ‘It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts,’ he said. ”可知,在掌握这一技术中,持续的努力和实践是至关重要的。

[2024·衡水中学第五次综合素养测评]The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J.Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess.
It was engineering week at A.J.Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville, South Carolina. One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers.
Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs.
The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age.
Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools. “Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts.
A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on kids. We're not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I'm in the second grade and now I'm locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.”
Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that's what they're going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn't do that.
5.Why were the third graders disappointed?
A.Their test failed.
B.The bag missed the target.
C.Engineers disturbed them.
D.They had to clean the ground.
6.What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path?
A.Design more career paths.
B.Invite engineers to their schools.
C.Adopt the open enrollment policy.
D.Offer more courses for them to choose.
7.What is Jack Schneider concerned about?
A.People's employment.
B.Students' overall development.
C.The nation's economy.
D.The school's innovative education.
8.Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A.Modern solutions are hard to find.
B.More students need college education.
C.Greenville's practice is not acceptable.
D.A high school degree is not enough for jobs.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述南卡罗来纳州格林维尔一所公立小学A.J.Whittenberg的工程周。每个月有一周,来自当地行业的工程师会参观教室,与学生谈论他们的职业生涯。
5.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据第一段“The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess.”可知,三年级学生看到这些乱七八糟的东西时,他们很失望,是因为他们的实验失败了。
6.答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,格林维尔采用开放招生政策来帮助学生走自己选择的道路。故选C。
7.答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第五段“‘Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,’ said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts.”可知,Jack Schneider教授认为学生们应该要全面发展。故选B。
8.答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that's what they're going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn't do that.”可知,高中学历并不能让学生们将来工作和谋生。
Ⅱ.七选五
[2024·湖南省名校联盟冲刺压轴卷]Getting older involves changes in all realms of life, from the physical to the mental, to the social, emotional, sexual, and more. Ideally, you'll have already been practicing healthy habits throughout your life. But even if you haven't, it's never too late to start taking active steps to maintain and even improve your health. Adopting even a few of the habits will start you on the right track.
__1__ According to Medline Plus, exercising regularly can improve your balance, help keep you mobile, improve your mood by reducing feelings of anxiety and depression, and contribute to better cognitive functioning. __2__ Any exercise at all is better than none. CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week; you can further break this down into 30 active minutes a day for five days a week.
One article found that participants who reported higher levels of social activity were more likely to experience more positive moods, fewer negative feelings, and higher levels of physical activity. If you don't currently have an active social life, look for opportunities to reconnect with old friends or make new ones. __3__
Regular checkups with your doctor are opportunities to catch problems early and treat them before they become bigger problems. If you are experiencing memory or mobility issues, or have been recently hospitalized, you may want to schedule an appointment with geriatricians (老年病学专家). __4__ Following an initial consultation, they can help you create a care plan tailored to your needs.
It may seem like a nobrainer, but it bears repeating that you should always take any medication prescribed to you exactly as directed by your doctor. However, it's also worth doing a periodic medication review with your primary care doctor to discuss whether all of your prescriptions are still necessary. __5__
A.It's also an important part of managing some chronic diseases.
B.They specialize in the care and treatment of older people.
C.Keep in mind that your pharmacist is another resource for information.
D.Seek out likeminded others that corresponds to an interest of yours.
E.Keeping physically active can help reduce many of the effects of aging.
F.Feeling constantly exhausted or depressed is not normal at any age.
G.It's important to know what's normal for your body as you age.

5.答案与解析:C 分析设空,位于段尾,是对本段的总结。根据前文可知,此处是在讲述和你的各种医生保持沟通,所以C项“Keep in mind that your pharmacist is another resource for information.(记住,你的药剂师是另一个信息来源)”符合文意。

[2024·广州市高三年级调研测试]Once the choice of royal household, the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years, and an online grocer reported that the fruit's sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020 to 2022, resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.
Lee, 32, is extremely busy in the summer months. Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers, Lee says, he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not. He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers, and puts thousands of watermelons through the “knock test” daily, before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.
The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures. In China, it is considered a national habit. Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is wellspent. Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.
As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way, those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand. Lee is one among the growing group. Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of ebuyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.
Lee, who was once an awardwinning soccer player, now describes himself as a “goalkeeper for watermelons”. He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melonknocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice(学徒) to an experienced farmer.
After a year's trial and error, Lee worked independently as a quality checker. “It is a highly demanding task. During the apprenticeship, I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts, ” he said.

A.He was once an awardwinning soccer player.
B.He dreams of being a professional melonknocker.

[2024·衡水中学第五次综合素养测评]The brown paper bag hit the ground. A Michelin engineer picked it up and opened it, revealing a cracked, leaking egg. The third graders at A.J.Whittenberg Elementary School were disappointed when they saw the runny mess.
It was engineering week at A.J.Whittenberg, a public primary school in Greenville, South Carolina. One week per month, engineers from local industries visit the classrooms and talk to students about their careers.
Greenville is now introducing the idea of a career path to students in primary school and giving students the option to follow those programs to middle and high schools. Each primary school focuses on a specific technical skill. The district allows students to attend schools outside of their attendance boundaries as long as space is available, which means students can choose to continue to follow their chosen career pathway at a middle school with corresponding programs.
The effort in Greenville is part of a growing national trend in which school districts partner with local industries to develop curriculum (课程) and expose students to specialized careers at a young age.
Some education experts worry the focus on industry qualifications has resulted in schools taking on responsibilities that should fall to businesses, like training workers for specific job duties, damaging a more comprehensive education in schools. “Schools are to not just prepare people for work and strengthen the economy, but also a place where students should experience art, music and think creatively,” said Jack Schneider, a professor of education at the University of Massachusetts.
A teacher from Greenville, however, said, “Career exposure has a big impact on kids. We're not really wanting them to make a decision—‘I'm in the second grade and now I'm locked in to being whatever when I graduate from high school in 10 years.’ We just hope students walk across the graduation stage with plans for a career in mind.”
Modern times need modern solutions. When students leave school, they need to be already down their road to college, if that's what they're going to do, or schools need to give them something that allows them to get to work and earn a living. Just getting out with a high school degree doesn't do that.
5.Why were the third graders disappointed?
A.Their test failed.
B.The bag missed the target.
C.Engineers disturbed them.
D.They had to clean the ground.
6.What does Greenville do to help students follow their chosen path?
A.Design more career paths.
B.Invite engineers to their schools.
C.Adopt the open enrollment policy.
D.Offer more courses for them to choose.
7.What is Jack Schneider concerned about?
A.People's employment.
B.Students' overall development.
C.The nation's economy.
D.The school's innovative education.
8.Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A.Modern solutions are hard to find.
B.More students need college education.
C.Greenville's practice is not acceptable.
D.A high school degree is not enough for jobs.

[2024·湖南省名校联盟冲刺压轴卷]Getting older involves changes in all realms of life, from the physical to the mental, to the social, emotional, sexual, and more. Ideally, you'll have already been practicing healthy habits throughout your life. But even if you haven't, it's never too late to start taking active steps to maintain and even improve your health. Adopting even a few of the habits will start you on the right track.
__1__ According to Medline Plus, exercising regularly can improve your balance, help keep you mobile, improve your mood by reducing feelings of anxiety and depression, and contribute to better cognitive functioning. __2__ Any exercise at all is better than none. CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week; you can further break this down into 30 active minutes a day for five days a week.
One article found that participants who reported higher levels of social activity were more likely to experience more positive moods, fewer negative feelings, and higher levels of physical activity. If you don't currently have an active social life, look for opportunities to reconnect with old friends or make new ones. __3__
Regular checkups with your doctor are opportunities to catch problems early and treat them before they become bigger problems. If you are experiencing memory or mobility issues, or have been recently hospitalized, you may want to schedule an appointment with geriatricians (老年病学专家). __4__ Following an initial consultation, they can help you create a care plan tailored to your needs.
It may seem like a nobrainer, but it bears repeating that you should always take any medication prescribed to you exactly as directed by your doctor.
