The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive (草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A.” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote — in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 24. What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A. It is characterized by big flowing lines. B. It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C. It was not allowed in students'homework. D. It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 25. What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A. The popularity of block letters in recent times. B. The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C. His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D. His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 26. Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A. To deliver his message clearly. B. To improve his handwriting skills. C. To win praise from his friends. D. To show his passion for calligraphy. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The wide use of cursive. B. The sad decline of cursive. C. The value of preserving cursive. D. The technique of writing in cursive. C American households want the biggest bang for their buck right now when they pull their wallets out to shop. Higher inflation and interest rates are wearing out the US consumers. But they are still shopping and seeking the biggest discounts. Discount giant Trader Joe’s business was buzzing as thrifty (节俭的) shoppers flocked to its big-box stores last quarter to bag deals on groceries and everyday necessities like shampoo, toothpaste, paper towels and toilet paper. Sales at its stores open at least a year increased 3.8% in the quarter from the same time last year. Other discount suppliers such as Kroger and Fresh market also enjoyed a jump in their same-store sales in their latest quarter. At the same time, there’s a different kind of deal-seeking happening, too. Perhaps a bit counterintuitively, a bunch of stores that are known for more expensive products that aren’t exactly necessities are also seeing a boom, which means that Americans are still spending, but selectively, and that “value shopping” means different things to different people. It doesn’t necessarily mean cheap. Shoppers are willing to dig deeper if they feel like they’re getting quality products that are on trend, feel good, and last for a long time, even if it means spending a little bit more. A company’s CEO’s focus has been on getting back to the basics with quality products. This strategy included its newest summer linen clothing collection and surprise marketing moves involving celebrity collaborations. A white shirt dress for Anne Hathaway appeared to thrill shoppers. The dress became a viral moment on social media for the retailer, which the company quickly seized upon by releasing a limited pre-order for the dress to its shoppers priced at $158. It sold out within three hours. Shoppers are homing in not just on prices but on the benefits that they hope to receive from products for the price that they’re paying for, Zak Stambor, senior analyst, retail and ecommerce, with market research firm eMarketer said. 28. What contributed to the increase in Trader Joe’s sales year over year? A. A wide range of necessities. B. An increase in its number of retail stores. C. The pressure from other retailers. D. The higher demand for discounted goods. 29. Which can replace the underlined word “counterintuitively” in paragraph 3? A. Unexpectedly. B. Uncertainly. C. Undoubtedly. D. Unconsciously. 30. Why does the author mention the white shirt dress? A. To criticize its high price. B. To prove the CEO’s point. C. To boost a fashion trend. D. To show its owner’s identity. 31. What does Zak Stambor think of shoppers in the last paragraph? A. They focus on more expensive products. B. They buy the cheapest option. C. They consider good value for money. D. They prioritize the products on trend. D In parts of the ocean where sea otters (海獭) face harsh competition for their favorite kinds of food, some otters are getting by with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them hit open tougher prey that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat. That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters to see how it affected their health and nutrition. Sea otters are large marine mammals that spend their days foraging (觅食) in seaweed forests. “Their preferred prey are usually urchins and abalone,” says Chris Law, a biologist at the University of Texas and the University of Washington, who notes that urchins and abalone are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But he says there are areas with an over-abundance of urchins — the so-called “urchin barrens” where urchins have eaten all the seaweed. Since the seaweed is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and are thus calorie-poor. They offer little nutritional value for otters, which aren’t interested in consuming these so-called “zombie urchins”. “So that means otters have to find new foods,” says Law. “A lot of the foods are those super-hard-shell prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into. Snails, for example, are abundant in the bay, but they’re low-calorie and basically like a rock that you have to break into to eat the insides.” He explains that some otters learn to specialize in eating hard, low-calorie snails, using tools very frequently to “basically become really, really, really good at processing lots and lots and lots of snails every day”, instead of searching for high-calorie foods that don’t require tools to open but are in short supply. What’s more, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. “Without teeth, they clearly can’t eat anything. So then they die. What we’ re suggesting is that this behavior really allowed them to continue living on despite not having their preferred prey,” says Law. 32. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about sea otters? A. Their food supply. B. Their prey in sharp decline. C Their damage to seaweed forests. D. Their good feeding environment. 33. Why do sea otters consume snails instead of their preferred prey? A. To change their taste. B. To gain low-calorie food. C. To improve their hunting skills. D. To increase their chance of survival. 34. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. Strategies for using tools skillfully. B. Unavailability of high-calorie foods. C. Adaptation to changing food chains. D. Importance of tool use for sea otters’ survival. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Seaweed is causing food shortage to sea otters B. Snails are becoming sea otters’ new favorite food C. Sea otters are using tools to obtain alternative foods D. Urchins and abalone are disappearing from sea otters’ food list 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。 Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? ____36____ The term “third-culture kids (TCKs)” was invented in the 1960s by US sociologist Dr Ruth Hill Useem. She first encountered this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. ____37____ Caught between two cultures, they form their own. While growing up as third-culture kids may sound challenging, these children often benefit from their multicultural background. In general, they often reach excellent academic results. About 90 percent of them have a university degree. Ginny, aged 20, was born in the UK. Since her early childhood, she had lived abroad moving around with her parents every few years before she returned to the UK to study. When returning to the UK to go to university, she realized she had benefited a lot from her years overseas. ____38____ While many other undergrads seemed unable to cope on their college life, she was easy to adjust to it. ____39____ In fact, many hardships may arise from this’ phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Besides, when they return home, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything they came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. ____40____As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. If so, then you are a third-culture kid. B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. C. The languages picked up abroad were really useful. D. The only problem was that she caught the travel bug. E. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. F. After many years, these kids still could not adapt to their host culture. G. These children often get along well with those who suffer from the same confusion. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was cleaning the roof of a customer’s house when the stroke happened.

Mathematics problems such as numbers and equations seemed like puzzles I could never solve. I often stayed behind after class to ask my math teacher, Mrs Johnson, for help. Despite her reputation for being very strict, she was incredibly dedicated to helping her students make progress. One afternoon, Mrs Johnson suggested I join the school math club. I laughed at the suggestion, thinking it was somewhat absurd. How could I, who barely understood basic algebra, possibly benefit from being in a club filled with math enthusiasts? Yet, she was serious. She believed that being surrounded by others who were passionate about math might activate a similar passion in me, and then improve my performance in the subject. Reluctantly, I attended my first math club meeting. It was intimidating at first, but the club members were welcome, and the activities were surprisingly engaging. We tackled mathematical puzzles, helped each other with homework, and even participated in friendly competitions. Mrs Johnson often stayed late to help us work through particularly tough problems, and she always encouraged us to think critically and creatively. As time progressed, I found myself looking forward to those Wednesday afternoon math club meetings. My understanding of math concepts deepened, and I began to enjoy the challenge of solving complex mathematics problems. My grades started to improve, slowly at first, then more consistently. More importantly, I was losing my fear of math. It was no longer a subject to endure but a challenge to conquer. Mrs Johnson’s faith in me had not only helped my academic skills but had also given me a new confidence in my ability to learn. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高考模拟卷·英语 (120分钟 150分) 考生须知： 1.本卷侧重：高考评价体系之创新性。 2.本卷怎么考：①考查应对创新性素材的能力(阅读C);②考查应对创新性设题的能力(题28)。 3.本卷典型情境题：阅读第二节;语言运用第一节。 4.本卷测试范围：高考全部内容。 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】A 【5题答案】 【答案】B 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.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. I was actively participating in class, solving complex equations that I had seen unable to understand before. The fear that had clouded my perception of math was replaced by a genuine excitement for every new topic we covered. I even began to stay after our regular sessions to discuss advanced problems with Mrs Johnson, seeking out challenges that would have been too much for me to handle before. At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. As she called me to the front of the room, she handed me a certificate for “Most Outstanding Contribution”. The room erupted in applause. She praised me for sticking with my dream and for changing into not only a great math student but also someone who encourages others. Her acknowledgment confirmed my newfound passion and dedication to a subject that once seemed unconquerable, underscoring an incredible year of academic and personal growth. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
