It is made from sticky rice, bean, pork and many other ingredients and covered by green leaves(usually banana leaves). Besides traditional reasons, Banh Chung is chosen as the main food for Tet holiday because it can last for nearly one month in the severe weather of Vietnam. Gio and Cha Gio and Cha(Vietnamese ham and sausage) are two kinds of traditional food in Tet holiday, and usually served with Xoi(sticky rice) and Banh Chung. The Vietnamese make Gio out of a variety of meat. After it is covered by leaves, it is boiled for hours. Cha is also made from different kinds of meat. However, it is not wrapped by leaves and boiled. Instead, it is deep-fried in oil. Cha just survives for some days while Gio can last for a month duc to its covers. There are many kinds of Gio, categorized by the meat: Gio Lua(made from pork), Gio Ga(made from chicken), Gio Bo(made from beef). Mut Tet Mut Tet(Tet jam) is not a food to serve in a meal during Tet holiday, but more like a snack to welcome guests in this special period. Mut is always kept in beautiful boxes and placed at the table in the living room for the hosts and guests to taste when they' re chatting. Unlike Western jams, which are usually in liquid form and served with bread, Mut Tet refers to various kinds of dried fruits and seeds(pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds). Nowadays, cakes and candies are slowly replacing it in Tet period. 1. Why is Banh Chung chosen as the main food for Tet holiday? A. It is covered with leaves unique to Vietnam. B. It has proven to be one of the healthiest foods. C. It is made from the rarest materials in Vietnam. D. It can stay fresh for many days during the holiday. 2. What do Gio and Cha have in common? A. The package. B. The types of meat. C. The storage. D. The cooking method. 3. Which of the following are gaining popularity during Tet holiday? A. Western jams. B. Candies and cakes. C. Imported fruits. D. Watermelon seeds. B When my brother died in an accident, I was only 4 years old. But I still felt the big change in my mom’s attitude toward safety. Overnight, I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camps, because what if something happened to me? As I grew up, the list got longer and longer. I know my mom was worried about me because after my brother died, I was her only child. As a result, I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like car accidents, earthquakes, losing my wallet — disasters big and small, real and imagined. The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my current life, because I have been constantly forcing myself to do things that frighten or worry me shortly after my mom’s death. Since then I have developed a rule for myself: If anything scares me, then I will force myself to do it at least once. As a result, I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle and I’ve traveled — a lot. In fact. I am studying bird flu as a scientist. There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, I made a decision that I would either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out an exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life. Even though I inherited(继承) my mother’s cautious nature, I’ve also come to believe that the more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do. Believing that has made my world a less scary place. 4. What does the author think of her mother? A. Courageous. B. Overprotective. C. Hardworking. D. Cruel. 5. How did the rules affect the author before her mother’s death? A. They led to much more freedom for her. B. They helped her to avoid a lot of accidents. C. They made her feel more and more worried. D. They encouraged her to be more adventurous. 6. What did the author do to overcome her fear? A. She tried to do those seemingly scary things. B. She stayed away from the unnecessary risks. C. She forced herself to focus on her current job. D. She persuaded her mother to stop protecting her. 7. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. It’s funny for parents to worry about the kids. B. Fear can be a good thing to some degree. C. We should be careful in a dangerous world. D. We can achieve more if we can control our fear. C It is not generally realized, for example, that a tale written in China in the ninth century is the world’s oldest known version of the story of Cinderella. The next earliest was not published until seven hundred years later — in Lyons, France, in 1544. In addition, 350 other stories that are related in some way to Cinderella have been collected from every continent. Those Cinderella stories fall into two main groups. In one, the focus is on the ball, while comparatively little attention is paid to the supernatural force that helps her. This is the type most familiar to us and most commonly found in western Europe. In those found in eastern Europe, much attention is paid to the helpful animals. But the Chinese version contains both. Old though it is, the Chinese version shows definite signs of having been based on still earlier — and now lost — versions. The incident of the ball, for example, is linked with the rest of the story so unnaturally that it seems that the author has borrowed this incident from some still earlier version, but without clearly understanding its significance. It will also be remembered that the king who married the girl came from a country called T’o-huan. Though this country is not identified in the story, we know from Chinese historical writings of that time that there was a small country by that name located near a region called T’o-ho-lo. And T’o-ho-lo can be identified with certainty as close to the modern city of Bangkok in Thailand. This makes it probable that the Chinese story of Cinderella did not originate in China, but was taken there from Southeast Asia, perhaps by the Arabs who went as traders to Canton in large numbers. This story shows that the same simple virtues which are regarded as basic in the West have been emphasized for centuries in China and other parts of Asia. It is but one example of the way a story or an idea can travel all over the world. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. A story usually has different origins. B. Chinese literature has a very long history. C. Different countries may have similar stories. D. French literature was influenced by the Chinese. 9. What is unique about the Chinese version of Cinderella? A. The plot develops more naturally. B. It is centered on those helpful animals. C. Relatively little attention is paid to the ball. D. It stresses both the ball and the supernatural force. 10. Which evidence shows that the Chinese version originates in Southeast Asia? A. The original writer’s identity. B. Some related historical records. C. A newly found version of the story. D. A well-known kingdom in the story. 11. How is the text mainly developed? A. By analyzing an example. B. By reviewing studies. C. By telling a very old story. D. By conducting surveys. D Last year, global investment in wind and solar energy was greater than the money spent on new and existing coal and gas power plants for the first time. As a happy consequence, the green transition (转型) may have sped up by five to ten years. Yet the governments can do more. One problem is the time-consuming process of obtaining permits. Endless delays have long been a barrier to new projects in America and Europe. The gains from shortening the process can be huge. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that renewable power would rise by an extra 25% by 2027 if such barriers were removed. The bigger problem is that some renewables providers are now rethinking their investments altogether, because green energy projects are becoming less attractive. Between January 2021 and April 2024, the prices of everything from shipping to industrial metals rose remarkably, which in turn raised the prices of solar and wind energy systems. Higher interest rates have become a headache for builders of green power plants, which are much hungrier for loans than power plants fueled by coal and gas. Such costs would be manageable if they could be passed on. But around the world, renewable energy contracts are being designed to keep electricity cheap — so cheap that generators will struggle to make money. All these barriers are clogging up project pipelines. From America to Asia, wind developers are trying to renegotiate financing deals, delaying construction or canceling contracts because some projects have become unprofitable. In America, many solar projects are postponed, and in Europe, fewer agreements to buy the power they generate are being signed. Studies have shown that if investing is to stay attractive green power will need to be sold at higher prices than governments would like. 12. What can be learned from the second paragraph? A. Governments have already tried their best. B. Governmental permits are not necessary. C. There is great potential for renewables' growth. D. Non-renewables will rise by another 25% by 2027. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The price of electricity. B. The challenges faced by coal power plants. C. The availability of loans. D. The declining profit for renewables providers. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “clogging up” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Blocking. B. Cleaning. C. Expanding. D. Benefiting. 15. What do governments need to do according to the text? A. Delay some solar projects. B. Raise the price of green power. C. Cancel unprofitable contracts. D. Provide more loans to generators. 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。 There’s no shortage of tricks for improving mental health.

The Elks Club was crowded. The wooden racetrack was already set perfectly by old men who’d spent their lives with levels and squares and pencils riding behind their ears. Before the race was the ceremonial walk-around — each car was displayed and confident boys were enjoying the honors. The room was full of anticipation. Fathers were reliving their youth and proudly watching their sons show themselves. In a corner was Scott, alone. No father. It was the first time that he had attended the event with his own car. He had always stood by and watched before. His car was a rough block painted red. The front axle (车轴) was bent. He stood with his head down. He knew he had to count on himself, so he devoted himself to “fighting with” the front axle. Perhaps the worst experience for a boy of twelve was to be unnoticed. Making the rounds and admiring the craftsmanship was Mark. He noticed. Mark was a local father who had unfortunately lost his own child. His heart, though empty, remained kind and compassionate. He was a man who understood the pain of a child’s longing and the importance of a father’s love. He watched as other boys and fathers moved silently past Scott’s seemingly silly red car. Mark took a few extra steps and stood in front of Scott. “I like the color, ” he said. Scott looked up with surprise and nervously responded, “You really like it, Mr. Mark? ” Scott couldn’t believe Mr. Mark, who was skilled at making wood cars, liked his car. But there was something wrong with the front axle. Mark knelt down (跪下) , his gaze level with Scott’s. “I see you’ve put a lot of effort into this,” he said sincerely. “The shape is unique, and I bet it’ll go fast.” 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。 Scott's eyes were wide open, surprised and doubtful. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The race began, and Scott’s car sped down the track. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

It is a wonderful idea to expose us to classic literature. I would like to recommend Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Thank you for your hard work. Looking forward to the class. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】Scott’s eyes were wide open, surprised and doubtful. “But... but it’s not as good as the others. The front axle is bent,” he stammered. Mark gently patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. Sometimes, the most special things are a bit different. Let’s see what we can do about that axle.” Mark spent the next few minutes carefully straightening the axle with a small tool he happened to have in his pocket. As he worked, he chatted with Scott, sharing some simple tips on car making. Scott listened intently, his shyness gradually replaced by excitement. The race began, and Scott’s car sped down the track. To everyone’s astonishment, it was one of the fastest. Scott jumped up and down, his face beaming with joy. He looked around and found Mark in the crowd, giving him a big thumbs-up. After the race, Scott rushed towards Mark. “Mr. Mark, thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without you,” he said, his voice filled with gratitude. Mark smiled and replied, “You did all the hard work, Scott. I just saw the potential in you and your car.” From that day on, Scott no longer felt alone. Mark became a father-figure to him, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
