B The first thing I see upon entering Estiatorio Milos in Toronto is Costas Spiliadis, the 78-year-old owner, rolling ancient clay pots, once used to store olive oil and wine, across the beautiful white marble(大理石)floor. The scene, and the room, transport me from all-business Bay Street to a sunset walk in Crete. Spiliadis has spent decades creating such an airy, comfortable restaurant. He opened the first Milos, a one-room restaurant, in 1979 in Montreal, transforming it into one of North America’s most beloved dining spots. At first, Spiliadis didn’t seem like someone who would succeed in the restaurant business. He had no experience in cooking or running a restaurant. However, he found a small place on Park Avenue, where many immigrants(移民)settled, and began cooking with his mother’s recipes from Greece. In his early years in Montreal, while working at Radio Centre-Ville, Spiliadis realized he was missing home, especially the food of home. While he saw Greek food all around him, it didn’t live up to the memories of his mother’s cooking. He thought, “We are losing an important component of our material culture. Our cuisine is being lost!” Spiliadis started to focus on authenticity, wanting everything to be true to Greek culture. The generous offerings of the Varvakios central market in Athens have inspired most of his restaurants, with each dining room transformed into a similar market where diners can choose ingredients(食材)for their meals. Spiliadis’ target was global capitals. “It’s a mission,” he said, “especially in key markets, where opinions are formed. I want to redefine Greek food and Greek dining. I choose these places on that basis.” “He’s a man on a mission,” Lesley Chesterman, a former restaurant critic, said. “He’s really put Greek cuisine on the map.” Today, Estiatorio Milos has locations across the globe, including New York, Miami, and London, with Toronto being the latest addition. 24. What does the author think of Estiatorio Milos? A. It’s a great place for a sunset walk. B. It has changed people’s eating habits. C. It features a modern urban lifestyle. D. It’s a peaceful escape from the busy life. 25. What might contribute to the growth of Spiliadis’ restaurant on Park Avenue? A. A populous community. B. His experience in cooking. C. A reasonably priced house. D. His ability to run a business. 26. Why did Spiliadis prefer to start his restaurants in big cities? A. To inspire other immigrants. B. To change the idea about Greek food. C. To save money for his parents. D. To cooperate with the local markets. 27. Which word best describes Spiliadis? A. Humorous. B. Narrow-minded. C. Ambitious. D. Light-hearted. C Electric vehicles(EVs) cost more to buy than gasoline cars, and they may lose value more quickly. Even for people eager to own a car with no tailpipe emissions, it’s reasonable to wonder whether it makes sense to buy one now. The answer may well be yes, but there are a lot of factors to consider, many of which depend on your driving habits and how important it is for you to reduce your impact on the environment. Now we’ll give you deep insights into this issue. For most drivers battery longevity may be a top priority. Most electric cars haven’t been on the road that long, so it’s hard to say definitively how long batteries will remain usable. Lithium-ion batteries, the kind used in virtually all EVs, do lose range over time. But the degradation is very slow. Electric cars from Tesla and other automakers have software that does a good job of protecting batteries from damage, especially when charging. Automakers usually guarantee EV batteries for eight years or 100,000 miles, and most promise to replace the battery if it loses more than 30 percent of its capacity during that time. One thing to note: Batteries will still work in freezing weather and extreme heat, but their range could be temporarily reduced. The chances that a battery will degrade to the point where it needs to be replaced are less than 1 percent or EVs built in 2016 or later, according to data from Recurrent, a firm that tracks the used EV market. “All indications are that batteries should last longer than the cars themselves,” said Liz Najman, director of market insights at Recurrent. “Certainly they should last for the average life of a gas-powered car.” And because EV batteries contain valuable metals like lithium and cobalt that can be recycled, even a completely spent battery will still be worth something. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The advantage of gasoline cars. B. A major cause of climate change. C. People’s hesitation in buying electric cars. D. An increasing demand for economical cars. 29. How do car producers address the issue of the degradation of batteries? A. They offer a guarantee. B. They charge for the repairs. C. They update the software. D. They replace batteries anytime. 30. Why are used EV batteries considered valuable? A. They are pollution-free products. B. They help reduce energy consumption. C. They serve as a reminder of road safety. D. They can be recycled for precious metals. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The impact of new technologies. B. The main market for electric cars. C. Benefits of the latest EV models. D. Other factors affecting EVs’ value. D Workers especially “knowledge workers” who can work from anywhere, have been fighting for more control over their time. While working from home in 2020 and 2021, they demonstrated to their bosses that they are able to maintain, or in some cases even increase their productivity while working flexibly. Their bosses, on the other hand, have been pulling them in the opposite direction, fighting to get workers back into the offices. This struggle has led to a significant number of employees quitting or “the Great Resignation”. While these issues have gained attention recently, they are not new. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, resignations have been steadily increasing for more than a decade. Part of the reason for this increase, it seems, is that workers have been contemplating the kinds of lives they want and reflecting on the role they want work to play in their lives. The reality is that people spend a lot of their lives working, and because of that, people’s day-to-day work experiences have a substantial impact on how satisfied they are with their lives. Does having control over their time actually make workers happier and more likely to stay in their jobs? To find out, we analyzed survey data from a wide group of people. We found that those with more control over their time had the highest job satisfaction and overall happiness. In contrast, people who felt they never had enough time reported less satisfaction with both work and life. These findings suggest that job satisfaction relies more on having control over time than on the amount of work done. Employees seek flexibility to better manage their personal and professional lives, such as fitting in exercise. Employers should listen to workers and develop flexible policies, including remote and hybrid (混合的) options. This can lead to more satisfied employees and help companies keep their best talent. Ultimately, when employees feel they have control over their time, they tend to be happier at work and in life. 32. What can we infer about people working from home according to the text? A. They are highly productive. B. They are deeply disturbed. C. They become less efficient. D. They tend to talk in person. 33. What does the author think causes “the Great Resignation”? A. The rapidly changing workplace. B. A conflict between workers and employers. C. The desire to sharpen the soft skills. D. A lack of room available for personal growth. 34. What does the underlined word “contemplating” in paragraph 3 mean? A Tolerating. B. Considering. C. Suspecting. D. Criticizing. 35. What is the author’s suggestion for employers? A. Meet employees’ diverse needs. B. Provide modern workplaces. C. Cut down on their living expenses. D. Employ lower-paid workers. 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。 In reality, some athletes at the Paris Olympics didn’t discover their sport until later in life.

We immediately fell in love with him and decided to give him a permanent home. Our ten-year-old daughter. Margie, named him Onyx because of his thick, shiny black hair. When we adopted him, Onyx was only ten weeks old and we had no idea that this amazing little baby dog would end up being our hero. As he grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. He particularly loved swimming with us on hot summer days. He would float in the river in his own rubber tube（橡皮圈）. Sometimes, he would stand on the top of the tube with a big smile and show off his perfect balance. Otherwise, he would rest his front legs over the edge of the rubber tube and keep his eyes shut as he floated until he had enough of the warm sun on his thick, black coat. One day, Margie announced she was going to swim in the pond in front of our house. But it happened that no one in the family was free to go swimming with her that day. The unwritten rule in my family, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard his name, Onyx jumped to his feet and was ready for action. Margie signaled him to follow and they rushed to the water together. However, I still felt uneasy at the moment. I went to the doorway and watched them reach the pond. They rested on the shore for a few minutes before diving into the water and started swimming side by side. Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “Help! My leg hurts!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Seeing my daughter struggling in the water, I dashed to the pond. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they were sale on the shore, I hugged Onyx and my daughter tightly. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 鄂尔多斯市西四旗2024～2025学年第一学期期末联考试卷 高三英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 【1题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

But I was not a good swimmer, so I dared not go into the water to save Margie, just stoping on the bank anxiously. Just then, Onyx, sensing Margie's danger, immediately swam closer to her, barking and nudging her leg gently with her nose. With remarkable agility, Onyx supported Margie, allowing her to rest her weight on the dog while she massaged her cramped leg. Onyx's quick thinking and unwavering loyalty had saved Margie from a potentially dangerous situation. With tears of gratitude in my eyes, I hugged Onyx tightly again and again, realizing that she truly was our hero in every sense of the word. Onyx raised his head and wagged his tail, apparently feeling honored for her bravery. From then on, Every time Magi went swimming, she took Onyx with her. We were certainly relieved to have Onyx by her side. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
