B For three decades,Camilleri,a Canadian fashion designer,had made a name for herself dressing A-listers.Her beautiful,delicate styles from leather,to evening wear,to custom 等 clothes showed in the covers of the hottest magazines. But when Turnbull-a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident 进 left her quadriplegic(四肢瘫a痪者)inl983-approached her to design stylish,comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons,Camilleri realized her real calling was to help 等 bring fashion to a completely under-served community."I had no idea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs than you or I,"says the designer."The world was my market 8 because nobody had ever done this before.”In2004 Camilleri opened a boutique(精品店) specially for people who use wheelchairs. 为 "Everything we do,the starting point is from a seated frame.So what happens when you're sitting?What happens to the clothes?Where are they getting together?"Camilleri 幅 explains."We literally had to recreate the patterns to accommodate a seated frame." Her custom creations have changed lives.Winkelaar has been in a wheelchair since a car 或 accident two weeks before his fourth birthday.Until he met Camilleri,he lacked confidence in his appearance and was afraid of entering the clothing stores because he had trouble finding trousers that fit properly..Salah has spastic cerebral palsy(痉挛性脑擁).She says clothing stores are always daunting places full of pieces out of reach.Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance.Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity. "Camilleri's pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum,and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world.She is a truly brilliant technician.She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled," Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says. 24.What drives Camilleri to open a boutique? A.Seeking fame. B.Making a profit. C.Providing service. D.Meeting a challenge. 【高三英语第4页（共10页）】 25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "daunting"in paragraph 4? A.Inspiring.

C.Creative and stubborn. D.Determined and conventional. C A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain.Their long necks 显 stretch high,swinging gently with each graceful step.The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour,casting long shadows over the grass.In the distance,the snow-capped Mount 地 Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky. What has led to giraffes'extraordinary shape?According to Charles Darwin,the neck of 郎 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees;it has become a classic example of evolutionary theory.But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights.This is a surprise for Darwin's feeding competition idea. Giraffes invest a lot in neck growth.Males continue to grow their necks into old age 敬 (about 28),well past the time females stop (around the age of 8).At last,males have long and strong necks,which they use to show off before females as well as fight against enemies. 廊 It seems that their necks are more notably used as weapons than for feeding. Is the neck a result of evolution?The answer should date back to their ancestors.In 韵 2022,a group of experts led by a Chinese biologist uncovered one of the smallest known giraffe fossils.This ancient animal,standing about 1.2 m tall,showed a short but strengthened neck and a horned head.That was the earliest known shape of giraffes ever found.They lived some 16.9 million years ago! Today's giraffes are much larger,with necks longer and horns dramatically reduced. With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower,spot danger earlier,but fight with more power.These all contribute to their survival.Darwin is right.Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain,I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection. 28.What is the purpose of mentioning the research from East Africa? A.To doubt an established theory. B.To offer an additional example. 【高三英语第5页（共10页）】 C.To advocate for common sense. D.To support a questioned belief. 29.What does the author aim to stress about giraffes'neck growing in paragraph 3? A.The advantage of the males. B.The importance for survival. C.The relation with their ages. D.The difference between genders. 30.What is now the author's attitude towards Darwin's theory? A.He is well convinced. B.He is disapproving. C.He is more tolerant. D.He is still cautious. 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.An Exception to Darwin's Theory B.Giraffes and Their Neck Competition C.The Problem of Giraffe Evolution D.Nature's Perfect Design for Giraffes D Humor plays a great role in helping one deal with stress,anger,fear,anxiety and other difficult emotions.Sometimes,that means purposefully shoring up defenses against hard times to come.Other times it can mean laughing when you want to cry,or cracking an illogical joke when it feels like the sky is falling and Earth is on fire. To psychologists,humor is an unconscious coping mechanism,a kind of strategic behavor or thought.Not all of these strategies are beneficial:Drinking or overeating,for example,are more dangerous coping mechanisms,whereas humor taps creativity into stress, whichcan enable a viewpoint shift and block distressing emotions. And of course,there's the physical reaction of humor:laughter.With it comes better breathing,muscle relaxation and a higher pain tolerance."The stress is there;you just don't feel itas much,"says psychologist Sultanoff. Of course,humor isn't foolproof:Making the wrong joke in the wrong way is just as likely to increase stress and disconnection.Mean-spirited or disparaging (humor actually causes people to be further apart and increases division. "Humor can arise during stress without cause or effort to make it.But humor can also be played consciously,"Sultanoff says,adding that he sometimes travels with a clown nose to find fim in life's everyday routine."Joyful use of humor builds psychological antibodies 体)，"he says. But taking up the power of humor doesn't mean ignoring the negatives.The point is not to never feel difficult emotions."Stress is there for a reason,and it's to call your attention to a problem that needs to be solved,Sultanoff says."When you experience a negative emotion like sdness or anger or frustration,it's important to recognize why that's there."Turning to 【高三英语第6页（共10页）】 humor too soon may prevent someone from processing emotions in a healthy way,increasing stress rather than decreasing it."By expressing humor you give yourself a break.And we all need a little break,"Sultanoff says. 32.How is humor helpful as a coping mechanism? A.It prevents hard times coming. B.It means an emotional release. C.It generates positive mindsets. D.It inspires artistic creativity. 33.Why does the author talk about laughter? A.To correct a misunderstanding. B.To illustrate an effect of humor. C.To distinguish humor from it. D.To warn the danger of stress. 34.Which of the following is called disparaging humor in paragraph 4? A.Making your friend look stupid. B.Telling a story in a funny way. C.Wearing clown clothes at a party. D.Laughing at your own mistakes. 35.What does Sultanoff think of a difficult emotion? A.It's something we should avoid. B.It's a reminder of our problems. C.It draws our attention to humor. D.It gives us a break from routine. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多会 选项。 It is far too common that people are caught off guard by a snowstorm or some other attacks of wintry weather.Snowstorms can lead anyone to life-threatening situations, especially if one gets stuck outside for extended periods.36 If you're driving to a place where snowstorms might happen,having the right clothing is crucial.The Red Cross says,"Wear layered clothing,gloves,and a hat.37"Even if it doesn't look that cold or threatening when you depart,bring along enough warm clothing in case weather changes unexpectedly. 38 In it should be a survival blanket,road salt,a shovel,a flashlight,and a cell phone charger.Check the tire pressure and gas,and bring along enough food and water.
