Grammarly is a writing assistant that job seekers,writers,and other professionals can use to proofread and edit their documents.It checks for spelling,grammar,and punctuation B)errors,and enhances vocabulary usage. How does Grammarly work? Grammarly gives your document an overall score based on the number of issues and errors it's found.It then walks you through a series of possible grammatical problems,one at a time. Both a short and a long explanation are provided by the system for each issue that's identified. Specific wording alternatives are suggested by the system in some cases.But it's left to the user to make any specific changes-Grammarly won't force your hand.You have the option of ignoring possible problems if you don't agree with the recommended changes. A handy originality checker can help writers identify any unintentionally borrowed content. The system points out similar text that exists elsewhere,and it suggests citations that can be added to legitimize the text in question. A word choice checker is available that enables users to choose optional wording and to avoid repetition. Advantages of Grammarly Using Grammarly is always a great decision because it saves you valuable time.It can quickly discover and resolve various kinds of errors,allowing users to concentrate on generating quality content rather than technical details. Grammarly encourages you to maintain simplicity and clarity in your work.This easily ensures that your writing is easy to follow. Disadvantages of Grammarly Grammarly is not perfect.It can occasionally miss mistakes or make inaccurate corrections to your work.

We used to look for seashells to fill our bucket().On this day,there didn't seem to be too many shells washed up on the shore.As we collected seashells,I searched for perfect ones, while Wilson filled our bucket with broken pieces.I wondered why he was doing that.When I suggested finding whole shells,he simply gave me a puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found,content with his unique collection. I continued my search for a while and then stopped to watch him place more broken shells into the bucket.Again,I stopped,but this time I asked in a firm voice,"Wilson,why do you keep filling our bucket with shells that are broken?" He looked up at me and said,"Mom,there are more broken shells on the beach than perfect ones.We'll fill the bucket faster with these broken ones." True,I thought,but who wants a bucketful of broken shells?Wilson stared at me and said, "Mom,these shells are broken,but they are still beautiful." "You're right,Wilson,"I replied. 高三英语第4页（共10页） "And,Mom,this one looks like a smile when you hold it this way,"he said as he reached for another broken shell."It reminds me of a clown.This one is round like the sun." Tears filled my eyes as I realized my son was teaching me an important lesson.I took out the perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach.Wilson and I walked along, gathering only broken shells,and admiring their beauty.Back at our beach house,we washed the shells and proudly displayed our"broken shell garden".It reminded us that none of us are perfect,but we all have unique beauty.Now,we collect only broken shells,finding beauty in their imperfections and learning from them. 24.How did the author feel upon seeing her son's collection of broken shells at first?

C Today,we have access to more information than ever before.Online video platforms and social media apps can provide us with in-depth learning opportunities for free-from professional development tips to artificial intelligence lessons.In more recent years,large language models have shown they can answer almost any question with an increasing level of accuracy. With so much data at our fingertips,more and more people are beginning to wonder:why invest time and money in a college degree when I can gather information and build skills online? 高三英语第5页（共10页） The problem with this question,however,is that it misunderstands most of the value of higher education.For many,higher education offers much more-a transformative journey where students can network and develop portable soft skills like critical thinking,communication, problem-solving,emotional intelligence,and creativity.Acquiring these competencies often requires teamwork and repetition.These are experiences that can't be easily copied by watching an influencer or reading Al-generated text through a screen. While it's true that a college degree is not the only path to success,we can't ignore the reality that most organizations still consider it an indicator of a candidate's readiness for the workforce.In a recent survey of 334 employers by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE),respondents said nearly 70%of their entry-level jobs require a four-year degree.This statistic suggests that-despite alternative routes-a college education can give a leg-up to job candidates in today's market. But anything with benefits has some weaknesses.We must consider that,across the board, college cost is rising.For most students,acquiring a degree will result in major debt.You should also consider whether your college courses are keeping up with the times.The education should ideally be up-to-date and useful to you upon entering the workforce For those who believe these downsides are worth the upsides a college education can offer, here's how to maximize the benefits of higher education: Learn the latest innovations through courses. Build a strong professional network. Take advantage of teamwork and problem-solving opportunities. Broaden your education with other resources. These four strategies can help students maximize their college experience while also staying up to date with the latest technological trends.By being flexible,networking actively, developing problem-solving skills,and seeking learning opportunities in the real world, students can prepare themselves not just for their first job but for a dynamic and successful career. 28.Why does the author ask the question in Paragraph 2? A.To encourage doubt about online learning. B.To start the discussion on college education. C.To emphasize the superiority of online learning D.To compare online learning with college education. 高三英语第6页（共10页） 29.What docs the underlincd word"leg-up"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Assistance B.Virtue. C.lsight. D Courage. 30.It is implied in this passage that A.college cducation remains valuable despite the rise of online learning B.college education ignores students'development of portable soft skills C.students can learn the latest innovations through a professional network L.students can get a successful career as long as they have college experience D It was an arresting image:a large airplane parked on the Antarctic ice,smiling flight attendants posing in front of it.The shot seemed to mark a new phase for Antarctic tourism. Fortunately,the flight in question was delivering staff and supplies for research rather than tourism-but travel to Earth's southernmost continent has nonetheless reached a new milestone. The growing number of visitors brought a new urgency to the question of how much tourism should be allowed on the icy continent. Many members of the International Association of Antarctic Tourism Operators (IAATO) say promoting Antarctic conservation is part of their mission.In fact,IAATO members follow strict rules designed to protect the environment,including removing all waste from the continent and avoiding unknowingly introducing non-native species.Nonetheless,a number of biosecurity studies found a large number of non-native species present.The risks are real.An invasive (grass species has established a foothold on one of Antarctica's South Shetland Islands,while bird flu recently reached the Sub-Antarctic Islands,where it has had a damaging effect on the seal population. Despite these growing threats,biosecurity is not the biggest danger facing Antarctica's wilderness areas.Tourists can reduce biosecurity risks by taking new clothing to Antarctica,but the carbon impact is a real issue.The average per-person carbon emissions (for an Antarctic tourist are 3.76 tonnes-about the total sum that an individual typically generates in an entire year.One study calculated that each tourist between 2016 and 2020 was effectively melting around 83 tonnes of snow,due largely to emissions from travel ships. The Antarctic is at risk not just because of the delicacy of its environment,but due to the lack of a single governing body.The Antarctic Treaty,established in 1961 to provide governance for the continent,operates on a consultative basis,which means all parties have to agree before a change can be put into action. There is a common understanding that something needs to change,but no agreement on what those changes should be.Should landings be made at a larger number of sites for instance, 高三英语第7页（共10页) or should we aim to keep the human footprint as small as possible?Researchers recommend that anyone thinking about visiting Antarctica should take a hard look at their motivation and the impacts of their choice. "As a researcher,it's a moral decision that I make every time I go,whether what I'm doing is worth the impact,"said a professor,who says tourists should also weigh up the consequences. "If your motivation is simply because you have stepped on six continents already and you vant to step on the seventh-personally I think that's a fairly silly reason." 31.What can we learn from this passage? A Non-native species have not been found in the Antarctic so far. B.The best way to reach the Antarctic is by taking a large airplane. C.Developing tourism and doing research are equally important in the Antarctic. D.IAATO has taken some measures to conserve the environment in the Antarctic. 32.What is the primary concern about the growing travelers in the Antarctic? A.The absence of a single governing body. B.The decline in the number of seals due to tourism. C.The potential for tourists to introduce invasive species. D.The carbon emissions associated with travel to the Antarctic. 33.The main moral challenge presented by Antarctic tourism is A.allowing tourists to access areas typically reserved for research B.deciding whether tourism can fund further exploration of the Antarctic C.satisfying personal desires for traveling while preserving the environment D.balancing the economic benefits of tourism with the environmental impact 34.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.Antarctic Research:A Promising Future! B.Flying to the Antarctic:A New Milestone! C.Antarctic Tourism:Should We Just Say No? D.Threat to the Antarctic:Why Biosecurity Risks? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As winter approaches,we encounter not only the physical darkness but also the darkness of various global and personal challenges.35 We can start by appreciating the natural oeauty around us.36I also appreciate observing the wildlife around me,such as birds that skip around my driveway,providing a 高三英语第8页（共10页) sense of life and movement in the otherwise still and cold winter landscape. For other kinds of light,we can turn to our friends and family.Nothing feels more like sunlight than walking into a room full of pcoplc who are happy to see me.I think of my family on spccial oecasions,their shining eyes radiating love. _38 Reading a poctry book,listening to a beautiful piece of music,or admiring a painting can all bring a sense of peace and inspiration.These works can help us see the world in a new way,finding beauty and meaning even in the darkest moments.

You may be asking,"How do I start living outside of my comfort zone?"The answer I would personally give is"baby steps"Consider breaking up routines and habits.for instance. Even doing something as small as trying a new flavor of your favorite snack can start the process.Then,sample a new snack.After that,order something different for lunch.Finally,you 高三英语第9页（共10页) get the idca.That same mentality can be applied to anything under the sun.The possibilities are cndless.and trust mc.oncc you start finding your rhythm,you'll find it gets progressively casier to try new things. Above all,remember that any step is still a step.Don't feel discouraged that you aren't doing as much as you should,or that you'rc not moving as quickly as someone else.Everyone has it in them to take action and live outside their comfort zones.Do what is right for you. Sometimes.you will need to push yourself.However,pushing yourself too hard will only make you pull back and become overly cautious.After all,the final goal is to find a happy balance between comfort and discomfort,between safety and risk. 40.What happened to the author after about seven speeches? 41.What is the author's advice on how to start living outside the comfort zone? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >To live outside your comfort zone,you will need to push yourself at all times. 43.Please share one of your experiences about living outside the comfort zone.(In abour f0 words) 第二节（20分)】 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国朋友Jm获悉你校近期举办了主题为 “劳动光荣”(All Labour Is Glorious)的活动，他发来邮件询问相关情况。请你用英文给 他回复，内容包括： 1.活动的内容； 2.活动的意义。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计人总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (考生务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效) 高三英语第10页（共10页)
