My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced,“Get up!You are going with me to cut grass.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business.Still,that first day was very hard.From sunrise to sunset,my father,my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in the well-to-do part of the city.By the end of the day,I was tired,but I felt good.I had put in a hard day’s labor and earned six dollars.
One day,my father found some leaves I had missed cutting and pulled me aside.“Cut that section again!” he said firmly.“And don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was very clear.Today I stress the importance of doing a job well at the first time.In every job I have held,from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine on the construction site,I have learned something that helps me in my next job.If you work hard enough,you can learn from any job you do.

(2024·广东揭阳汕尾高三期末)
About 30 years ago,an acoustic neuroma(听神经瘤) was found inside my body.The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear.Apart from this,I was fine.
Unexpectedly,the neuroma came back years later.It had to be removed again.Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain.When I awoke from the second operation,I had stroke-like symptoms.The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning,and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed.I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time,but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle.Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless.My family role shifting from a father to a dependent child,coupled with my communication problems,led to increased frustration(沮丧) and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world.Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool.A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet.As politely as possible,I said no,and we struck up a conversation about it.For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before.Though insignificant then,it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen,and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear,I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly,during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits,an eccentric(古怪的) singer most people dislike,but I don’t care.For me,life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works.Out of failure,ugliness,and horror—the most unpromising raw material—a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了第二次听神经瘤手术后,作者的右半边身体几乎停止工作,这对他影响很大,但是一次作者与一个小男孩平等地对话,改变了他的生活,让他以全新的方式看待自己。作者感悟到:苦难常常会带来新的自我发现。
24.What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness?
A.He lost the ability to keep balance.
B.His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C.He underwent two operations in a row.
D.His vision was accidentally damaged.
答案 B

25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B.The author’s self-reflection on his identity.
C.The different attitudes of the author’s family to him.
D.The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury.
答案 D
解析 段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段主要讲了作者脑损伤的相当大的影响。故选D。
26.How did the author find his talk with the boy?
A.Reasonable. B.Engaging.
C.Life-changing. D.In-depth.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before.Though insignificant then,it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen,and seeing myself.”可推知,作者认为与男孩的谈话改变了他的生活,让他以全新的方式看待自己,故选C。
27.What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music?
A.Music is the universal language of mankind.
B.Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C.Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D.Live for yourself,not for the approval of others.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,作者认为Waits的音乐作品让他懂得,失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石,它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀,这说明作者意识到自己经历的疾病苦难会让他更加闪耀,由此可推知,作者从Tom Waits的音乐中学到的道理是:苦难常常会带来新的自我发现,故选B。
C
Tourists visiting the Canary Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling—not a tune,but the Spanish language.The locals are communicating in Silbo,a much more widespread use of whistled languages.In at least 80 cultures worldwide,people have developed whistled versions of their local languages when the circumstances call for it.
Whistled languages are almost always developed by traditional cultures that live in mountainous regions or in dense forests.That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting,says Julien Meyer,a linguist who explores the topic of whistled languages.Skilled whistlers can reach 120 decibels(分贝)—louder than a car speaker.As a result,whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting can.That lets people communicate when they cannot get close enough to shout.
Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be imitated in a whistle.We distinguish one speech sound from another by minor differences in their sound frequency patterns.Whistlers can express all of these distinctions by varying the pitch(音高) of their whistle.And the skill can be adapted to any language,even those that have no tradition of whistling.
However,whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world,and some—such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico—have already disappeared.Modernization is largely to blame,says Meyer,who points to roads as the biggest factor.“That’s why you still find whistled speech only in places that are very,very remote,that have had less access to roads,” he says.
Fortunately,there is still a ray of hope.UNESCO has listed two whistled languages—Silbo in the Canary Islands,and a whistled Turkish—as elements of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.In the Canary Islands,for example,Silbo is now taught in schools.“If people hadn’t made that effort,Silbo would probably have disappeared,” says Meyer.There,at least,the future of the whistled language looks bright.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了口哨语言,包括其起源、原理、现状以及未来。
28.What can be learned about Silbo?
A.It is an endangered tune.
B.It is employed to entertain tourists.
C.It is used in more than 80 cultures.
D.It is a whistled version of Spanish.

A.Pass on secret information.
B.Get messages across over long distances.
C.Imitate the sound patterns of other languages.
D.Show minor differences between speech sounds.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句可知,口哨语言主要被用于向远处传递信息。故选B。
30.Why are whistled languages disappearing according to Meyer?
A.Contact with modernity.
B.Lack of skilled teachers.
C.Difficulty in learning them.
D.Popularity of official languages.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句可知,Meyer认为现代化是导致口哨语言消失的主要原因。故选A。
31.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of Silbo?
A.Uncertain. B.Dissatisfied.
C.Uncaring. D.Optimistic.
答案 D

You’re passed over for a job.Your back aches.Faced with difficulties large and small,you wonder if you’re an unlucky person.We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.
Richard Wiseman,a psychology professor,doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck—it won’t help you or hurt you.“On the other hand,considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself,which has an impact on how you behave and how you think,and becomes a self-fulfilling anticipation,” he says.“So,in a sense,it absolutely does exist.”
The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts,an uncertain situation that caused anxiety.In general,when one of these academics learned about good news concerning their careers,such as getting a permanent job,they would attribute it to luck.Because they felt they had so little control,and a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident,rather than as the result of hard work.
In a 2021 study,Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and adulthood.For example,basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck.“Obviously,it’s the superstitious(迷信的) custom that gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.
Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes? Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck.He has found “lucky people not only maximize opportunities and know where they’re heading,but often they change course depending on how the wind is going”.Lucky people can also transform bad experiences into good.Specifically,you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”.Also don’t be a creature of habit.Watch a different TV program,speak to different people—even small shifts can be effective.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕三位专家有关“幸运”的研究,论述我们为什么会相信运气以及我们如何凭借这种信念改变我们对生活的态度。
32.What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2?
A.It might be wise to try one’s luck.
B.Luck is a magical force to control us.
C.The belief in luck influences our behavior.
D.People’s well-being is determined by luck.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘On the other hand,considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself,which has an impact on how you behave and how you think,and becomes a self-fulfilling anticipation,’ he says.”可知,关于运气的信念会影响我们的行为。故选C。
33.What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for?
A.Confirming Loveday’s study.
B.Showing luck exists in real life.
C.Disapproving Woolley’s research.
D.Comparing different lucks in sports.

Desire for success is a basic human nature.But hurdles are bound to come up on the way to success,discouraging you from your goal. 36 Here are some ways that may help you to be diligent and write your own success story.
First of all,having a clear vision is essential to be diligent in life.If you are not clear about what you want to achieve in life,you will lose direction,motivation and enthusiasm in life. 37 So if you want to gain diligence,you should make an effort to define your vision.
38 Proper planning enables us to turn most of the goals into reality without regrets in later part of life.Having a plan in advance,though,does not mean that you have to plan from start to finish.It means you should know in which direction you are heading.
Moreover,excuses are not going to keep you away from regrets in your later life.If you delay diligence because of your family responsibility,it simply means your goals are not in your priority list,which is why excuses are coming. 39
Finally,diligence is not the birthright of some privileged people but an option. 40 Otherwise,you might unconsciously develop the habit of not being serious about bigger tasks as well.So now is the right time to start striving to be diligent in everything you do and ensure your success.
A.You have to be brave when encountering hurdles.
B.On the other hand,if you are,you will stay diligent.
C.You need to practice diligence even for the smallest task.
D.In fact,only those who are diligent can overcome them.
E.Diligence is the application of persistent effort on a task.
F.It is of the same importance to have a specific plan beforehand.
G.So follow your dreams with no excuse to live a happy and successful life.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了每个人都渴望成功,但成功的路上必然会遇到障碍,只有勤奋的人才能克服障碍。作者给出了一些方法可以帮助人们变得勤奋,最后实现成功。
36.答案 D
解析 根据上下文可知,这里缺少一个承上启下的句子。D项中的them指代上文中的hurdles,然后句中又指出只有那些勤奋的人可以克服这些障碍,引出下文作者给出的可以帮助人们变得勤奋的方法,刚好起着承上启下的作用。故选D。
37.答案 B
解析 根据上文“First of all,having a clear vision is essential to be diligent in life.If you are not clear about what you want to achieve in life,you will lose direction,motivation and enthusiasm in life.”可知,首先要有个明确的目标,才有勤奋努力的方向。B项中的On the other hand与上文形成对比,if you are后面省略了clear about what you want to achieve in life。故选B。
38.答案 F
解析 空格处位于段首,应概括本段主旨。根据下文“Proper planning enables us to...Having a plan in advance...means you should know in which direction you are heading.”可知,本段主要讲提前做个计划非常重要。F项(事先有一个具体的计划也是同样重要的)符合语境。故选F。
39.答案 G
解析 根据上文“Moreover,excuses are not going to keep you away from regrets in your later life.If you delay diligence because of your family responsibility,it simply means your goals are not in your priority list,which is why excuses are coming.”可知,借口是成功路上的绊脚石,空格处为这一段的总结,应告诉人们在追求成功的路上不要找借口。G项(所以,追随你的梦想吧,不要找借口,去过幸福成功的生活)符合语境。故选G。
40.答案 C
解析 下文“Otherwise,you might unconsciously develop the habit of not being serious about bigger tasks as well.”中Otherwise表示转折,C项中的smallest和下文的bigger形成鲜明的对比。故选C。

One day,Philip got a call from his 14-year-old daughter’s teacher.“Mrs Anderson?” Philip was worried as he answered the call.“Why is she calling me? I hope Sabrina is okay,” he thought.
“Good day,Mrs Anderson! How may I help you?”
Mrs Anderson told Philip that his daughter had not been attending school for the past two days.Philip was shocked because his daughter told him she was going to school that morning.But she had lied to him.After hanging up,Philip immediately called Sabrina to find out.
“Hey,sweetie,where are you?” he asked Sabrina.
“I’m at school,” she told him.
Philip knew Sabrina would probably lie to him again if he asked her where she was and told her he knew she was not in school.
When he got home after work,he saw Sabrina’s school bag on the table and realized Sabrina had already returned home.“Sweetie,I’m home,” he shouted but there was no answer.
Sabrina was not at home.When Philip took her school bag to her room,he found the bag opened a little bit and Philip saw some money in it.Philip feared his daughter could fall into some bad habits.He knew it was silly to doubt his child,but he was troubled by the fear any father would have in raising a teen daughter.Philip just wanted to be sure Sabrina was not doing something wrong and he opened the bag.Besides the money,there were also some paintings.
“Where did she get so much money from?” he said to himself.Philip put the money back into Sabrina’s school bag and kept it as it was.He was more worried about what his teen daughter could be doing.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
