The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn’t living cannot have the job.” The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart , then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商) in the US. One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail.

They're one of the easiest vegetables to grow at home. Or is it easiest fruit? Good tomatoes taste like sunshine, and that should be all we need to know. It turns out, though, that defining whether a food is a fruit or a vegetable isn't as simple as it might seem. Farmers, chefs, and lawyers all have different answers to this question. It may seem simple to us. Eat it for lunch? Vegetable, Eat it for dessert? Fruit! But it's not that easy. There are legal definitions of fruits and vegetables, as well as scientific ones. Tomatoes fit the scientific definition of fruits as they form from a flower and contain seeds. So botanically(植物学上), tomatoes are fruits. However, the way we eat them and treat them in cooking means that they also fall into the legal kind of vegetables. In 1893, to avoid paying the fee, a decision made by the Supreme Court stated that tomatoes should be classified as a vegetable instead of a fruit for the purpose of trade. Why are tomatoes fruits? To answer the question “Is the tomato a fruit?” let's look at the definition of fruit. According to Merriam-Webster, fruits are “the usually eatable reproductive body of a seed plant, especially: one having a sweet pulp(果肉).” The actual tomato plant is a seed plant that grows the red, eatable tomatoes people know and love. Although tomatoes aren't known for being as sweet as other fruits like peaches, they're not as bitter as some vegetables. With this definition in mind, everything from peppers to cucumbers are also fruit, while potatoes are not. It's an interesting fact that potatoes are actually distant relatives of the tomato. However, as root vegetables, they don't fit the “fruit of the vine(藤)” definition that makes tomatoes a fruit. 8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about tomatoes? A. They are a kind of vegetable. B. They are easy to grow at home. C. They taste good and are popular foods. D. Whether they are fruits or vegetables is hard to tell. 9. What can we say about the definition of tomatoes in paragraph 2? A. Legally speaking, tomatoes are a kind of fruit. B. If eaten for dessert, tomatoes are regarded as vegetables. C. When eaten for lunch, tomatoes are regarded as vegetables. D. Scientifically speaking, tomatoes are a kind of vegetables. 10 What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Introduce the theme of the text. B. Provide some advice for readers. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Add some background information. 11. In which section of a newspaper can you read the text? A. Environment. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Economy. Scotland's Gaelic language has been disappearing at a shocking rate for years. With only 60,000 speakers left, the language has been marked as "endangered". But Gaelic is fighting back. As we drove through the Scottish Highlands, one of the first things I noticed was that all of the road signs were in Gaelic as well as in English. We didn't hear Gaelic being spoken on the streets or in the shops, bars or restaurants around the Isle of Skye, but at the college of Sabhal Mor Ostaig it was all we heard. In the classrooms. in the playground, in the cafes-everyone was speaking Gaelic. Across Scotland, increasing numbers of parents are choosing to put their children in Gaelic education. Some of those parents don't even speak the language themselves. Flora Guidi is the headteacher of Portree Primary School. She said when she started teaching 28 years ago there were only nine children in the Gaelic unit. But now around half of the children at the school are being taught only in the Gaelic language. Next year a new school is opening in Portree which will only teach in Gaelic to meet the demand. Over the past years there has been support from the government for the Gaelic language. And there is also a big increase in spending on Gaelic education. It has caused a great deal of discussion. For some in Scotland, Gaelic is just an unimportant language from Scottish history. But for the people I spoke to on the Isle of Skye, there is a real hope that the young Gaelic speakers will revitalize（复兴）the language that is tied up with their country's identity. 12. Gaelic is regarded as “endangered” because__________. A. it hasn't been used for many years B. the number of people speaking it is small C. it is only spoken in Scotland D. it is difficult for children to learn 13 What do we know about the college on the Isle of Skye from the passage? A. All of the road signs are written in Gaelic. B. Students only speak Gaelic in class. C. Many parents go there to learn Gaelic. D. It is the most likely place to hear Gaelic, 14. What can we learn about the Portree Primary School from Flora Guidi's words? A. She teaches Gaelic in this school. B. All subjects are taught in Gaelic. C. There were only nine students in the school 28 years ago. D About half of the students are taught in Gaelic now. 15. For the people on the Isle of Skye, Gaelic__________. A. is just an unimportant language B. should be supported by the government C. is connected with their country's identity D. is the hope of the young generation You failed to pass exams and you might feel a bit like a failure, but actually you were not.

However, she was thinking of moving. Not because she didn’t like the house or the neighborhood, but because of the house next door. First of all, she hated that her family had to share the driveway with the neighbors, while she also disliked the fact that tenants(租户) came and went to that house all the time. And when a couple in their 50s moved next door, it wasn’t any different. Hillary felt that she had had enough, so she didn’t even try to be warm towards them. “Here we go again,”she thought. “Now what?” As she admitted, she was “turned off” by the woman next door and that they were cold to each other. “She would not accept me anyhow, ”Dawn Johnson, the new neighbor recalled. “I would come to get my mail, shut it and watch her walk into the house. ” But everything was about to change in an unbelievable way. Hillary knew she had been adopted(收养)when she was a baby, as well as she knew she had several halfsiblings (兄弟姐妹). In fact, she had already managed to reunite with three of them through the Internet. But there was still one half-sibling that she couldn’t track down. All she knew was that her name was Dawn Johnson. She had found three other half- siblings on the Internet, but she was having no luck with Dawn. She was beginning to think that she’d never find her. When she realized her new neighbor’s name was Dawn, she kind of had a feeling that she just might be her sister. She learned that the woman’s first name was Dawn and that she was from Greenwood-the same town where Dawn Johnson had lived according to what she had learned from her father, Wayne Clouse. She told her husband, “Her name is Dawn-what if she’s my sister?” They both laughed and said, “No way! No way could that be. ” 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, she couldn’t help thinking about it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, when Johnson went out of town, Hillary texted her, asking about her father’s name. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBBBA 6-10 ABBCB 11-15 BABCA 16-20 CBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖南省常德市武陵区常德市第七中学2024-2025学年 高三下学期入学考试英语试题 一、听力选择题 1．Which color is the blanket?

According to Merriam-Webster, fruits are “the usually eatable reproductive body of a seed plant, especially: one having a sweet pulp(果肉).” The actual tomato plant is a seed plant that grows the red, eatable tomatoes people know and love. Although tomatoes aren't known for being as sweet as other fruits like peaches, they're not as bitter as some vegetables. With this definition in mind, everything from peppers to cucumbers are also fruit, while potatoes are not. It's an interesting fact that potatoes are actually distant relatives of the tomato. However, as root vegetables, they don't fit the “fruit of the vine(藤)” definition that makes tomatoes a fruit. 8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about tomatoes? A. They are a kind of vegetable. B. They are easy to grow at home. C. They taste good and are popular foods. D. Whether they are fruits or vegetables is hard to tell. 9. What can we say about the definition of tomatoes in paragraph 2? A. Legally speaking, tomatoes are a kind of fruit. B. If eaten for dessert, tomatoes are regarded as vegetables. C. When eaten for lunch, tomatoes are regarded as vegetables. D. Scientifically speaking, tomatoes are a kind of vegetables. 10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Introduce the theme of the text. B. Provide some advice for readers. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Add some background information. 11. In which section of a newspaper can you read the text? A. Environment. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Economy. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就西红柿是水果还是蔬菜进行了分析。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But is the tomato a fruit!? Or are we eating vegetables?（但是西红柿是一种水果吗？还是我们在吃蔬菜？）”和“It turns out, though, that defining whether a food is a fruit or a vegetable isn't as simple as it might seem.（然而，事实证明，定义一种食物是水果还是蔬菜并不像看起来那么简单。）”可知，文章第一段主要告诉我们西红柿是水果还是蔬菜，很难说。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the way we eat them and treat them in cooking means that they also fall into the legal kind of vegetables.（然而，我们食用和烹饪的方式意味着它们也属于合法的蔬菜种类。）”可知，当吃午餐时，西红柿被认为是蔬菜。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In 1893, to avoid paying the fee, a decision made by the Supreme Court stated that tomatoes should be classified as a vegetable instead of a fruit for the purpose of trade.（1893年，为了避免支付费用，最高法院做出决定，出于贸易目的，西红柿应该被归类为蔬菜而不是水果。）”可推知，作者在第三段打算添加一些关于判定西红柿是水果还是蔬菜的背景信息。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But is the tomato a fruit!? Or are we eating vegetables?（但是西红柿是一种水果吗？还是我们在吃蔬菜？）”和文章第二段“There are legal definitions of fruits and vegetables, as well as scientific ones.（水果和蔬菜有法律上的定义，也有科学上的定义。）”可知，文章主要是科普了西红柿是水果还是蔬菜，由此可推知，文章可能出自报纸的科学版块。故选C。 Scotland's Gaelic language has been disappearing at a shocking rate for years. With only 60,000 speakers left, the language has been marked as "endangered". But Gaelic is fighting back. As we drove through the Scottish Highlands, one of the first things I noticed was that all of the road signs were in Gaelic as well as in English. We didn't hear Gaelic being spoken on the streets or in the shops, bars or restaurants around the Isle of Skye, but at the college of Sabhal Mor Ostaig it was all we heard. In the classrooms. in the playground, in the cafes-everyone was speaking Gaelic. Across Scotland, increasing numbers of parents are choosing to put their children in Gaelic education. Some of those parents don't even speak the language themselves. Flora Guidi is the headteacher of Portree Primary School. She said when she started teaching 28 years ago there were only nine children in the Gaelic unit. But now around half of the children at the school are being taught only in the Gaelic language. Next year a new school is opening in Portree which will only teach in Gaelic to meet the demand. Over the past years there has been support from the government for the Gaelic language. And there is also a big increase in spending on Gaelic education. It has caused a great deal of discussion. For some in Scotland, Gaelic is just an unimportant language from Scottish history. But for the people I spoke to on the Isle of Skye, there is a real hope that the young Gaelic speakers will revitalize（复兴）the language that is tied up with their country's identity. 12. Gaelic is regarded as “endangered” because__________. A. it hasn't been used for many years B. the number of people speaking it is small C. it is only spoken in Scotland D. it is difficult for children to learn 13. What do we know about the college on the Isle of Skye from the passage? A. All of the road signs are written in Gaelic. B. Students only speak Gaelic in class. C. Many parents go there to learn Gaelic. D. It is the most likely place to hear Gaelic, 14. What can we learn about the Portree Primary School from Flora Guidi's words? A. She teaches Gaelic in this school. B. All subjects are taught in Gaelic. C. There were only nine students in the school 28 years ago. D. About half of the students are taught in Gaelic now. 15. For the people on the Isle of Skye, Gaelic__________. A. is just an unimportant language B. should be supported by the government C. is connected with their country's identity D. is the hope of the young generation 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了苏格兰的盖尔语成为“濒危语言”的原因和它的崛起。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With only 60,000 speakers left, the language has been marked as "endangered".（由于只剩下6万名使用者，该语言已被标记为“濒危语言”。）”可知，盖尔语被认为是“濒危语言”，因为说这种语言的人很少。故选B。 13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“We didn't hear Gaelic being spoken on the streets or in the shops, bars or restaurants around the Isle of Skye, but at the college of Sabhal Mor Ostaig it was all we heard.（在斯凯岛附近的街道上、商店里、酒吧里或餐馆里，我们都听不到盖尔语，但在萨布哈尔·莫尔·奥斯蒂格学院，我们只听到了盖尔语。）”可推断，斯凯岛上的学院是最有可能听到盖尔语的地方。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She said when she started teaching 28 years ago there were only nine children in the Gaelic unit. But now around half of the children at the school are being taught only in the Gaelic language.（她说，28年前她开始教盖尔语课的时候，那里只有9个孩子。但现在，该校约有一半的学生只被教授盖尔语。）”可知，我们能从弗洛拉·圭蒂的话中了解到现在大约有一半的学生用盖尔语教学。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But for the people I spoke to on the Isle of Skye, there is a real hope that the young Gaelic speakers will revitalize the language that is tied up with their country's identity.（但对我在斯凯岛上交谈过的人来说，他们真的希望说盖尔语的年轻人能够重振盖尔语，因为这门语言与他们国家的身份息息相关。）”可知，对斯凯岛上的人来说，盖尔语与他们国家的身份联系在一起。故选C。 You failed to pass exams and you might feel a bit like a failure, but actually you were not.

Not because she didn’t like the house or the neighborhood, but because of the house next door. First of all, she hated that her family had to share the driveway with the neighbors, while she also disliked the fact that tenants(租户) came and went to that house all the time. And when a couple in their 50s moved next door, it wasn’t any different. Hillary felt that she had had enough, so she didn’t even try to be warm towards them. “Here we go again,”she thought. “Now what?” As she admitted, she was “turned off” by the woman next door and that they were cold to each other. “She would not accept me anyhow, ”Dawn Johnson, the new neighbor recalled. “I would come to get my mail, shut it and watch her walk into the house. ” But everything was about to change in an unbelievable way. Hillary knew she had been adopted(收养)when she was a baby, as well as she knew she had several halfsiblings (兄弟姐妹). In fact, she had already managed to reunite with three of them through the Internet. But there was still one half-sibling that she couldn’t track down. All she knew was that her name was Dawn Johnson. She had found three other half- siblings on the Internet, but she was having no luck with Dawn. She was beginning to think that she’d never find her. When she realized her new neighbor’s name was Dawn she kind of had a feeling that she just might be her sister. She learned that the woman’s first name was Dawn and that she was from Greenwood-the same town where Dawn Johnson had lived according to what she had learned from her father, Wayne Clouse. She told her husband, “Her name is Dawn-what if she’s my sister?” They both laughed and said, “No way! No way could that be. ” 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, she couldn’t help thinking about it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, when Johnson went out of town, Hillary texted her, asking about her father’s name. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】However, she couldn’t help thinking about it. But she couldn’t find the courage to go over to the neighbor’s house and ask what her last name was or who her birth father was. Until one day, Hillary ended up seeing the woman’s last name on one of their deliveries. Amazingly, it was Johnson! Hillary got excited, and she immediately called her husband to let him know she had just found her sister. Harris knew she had to ask the woman directly, but she was worried about being refused. So, when Johnson went out of town, Hillary texted her, asking about her father’s name. Indeed, it was Wayne Clouse. The two women spent that night talking on the phone and crying. Neither of them could believe that after so many years they found each other just by chance. The two women have been inseparable since they found out they are sisters. They advise anyone who is looking for their birth family to just knock on the neighbors’ door-you never know. It goes to show that you should always be kind and respectful to your neighbors. Who knows, they could end up being a long-lost relative. 【解析】 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了作者与邻居关系不和睦，偶然从邻居的名字发现他们是分别多年的姐妹。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，她总是禁不住想这件事”可知，第一段可描写作者试图寻找细节证实邻居是否自己分别多年的妹妹。 ②由第二段首句内容“因此，当约翰逊出城的时候，希拉里给她发信息，询问她父亲的名字。”可知，第二段可描写作者与邻居直接沟通，证实她们确实就是分别多年的姐妹关系。 2.续写线索：禁不住想这件事——没有勇气联系——从包裹上看到邻居的姓——发短信直接联系——证实姐妹关系——再也不能分离——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①直奔：go straight to/go over to/head direct for ②打电话：call/phone/ring ③建议：advise/suggest 情绪类 ①担心：be worried about /be fearful of ②偶然：by chance/ by accident 【点睛】[高分句型1]But she couldn’t find the courage to go over to the neighbor’s house and ask what her last name was or who her birth father was.（使用动词不定式作定语） [高分句型2]Hillary texted her, asking about her father’s name.（使用现在分词短语做目的状语） 1-5 CBBBA 6-10 ABBCB 11-15 BABCA 16-20 CBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
