Reading, for me, was always a mentally tiring activity. I hated it that I couldn't read like and compose like my friends and other peers(同龄人). "I am just not made for this kind of life." I admitted to myself and quickly proceeded. Then, the years passed, and I found mvself in a windowless classroom, filled with sleepy students. A short Indian professor stood in front of the whiteboard, her eyes shining with enthusiasm, hope, and eagerness for attention, I wondered how can she have so much passion for literature? Perhaps the author never intended to convey any implied meaning in that text. Every morning became a routine of the same passionate professor, declaring her love for the written word, and something inside me began to change, which meant that I was affected by her. One day, after class, the professor asked me whether I wanted to participate in a writing challenge. I had never written a proper paragraph in my life, except for school assignments. How could I be a good fit for that writing challenge?"Well, it's never too late to start writing 【高三英语试题 第3页(共8页)】 properly," she responded with a warm smile. "Nikos, your writing has promisc, and your style is engaging. I am sure you will find something to write about.""Okay, professor. I will try my best."I replicd. As I started writing down sentences that led nowhere, my pen faced the hard task of starting from the beginning, over and over again. And the days passed, and I kept writing. I had set out on a journcy to master the written word and to awaken my sleeping creativity. By the end of the semester. I had finished second at the creative writing challenge, and I kept writing short pieces for my own pleasure. I had become a writer that would not stop writing ever since due to a sense of accomplishment. 24. Why was the author uninterested in reading? A. He lacked teachcrs' guidance. B. He was addicted to recreation. C. He was badly criticized by pecrs. D. He failed to write like other fellows. 25. What does paragraph 2 imply about the professor? A. She was unaware of students' boredom. B. She managed to notice clues of authors. C. Her love for literature was infectious. D. Her teaching broke traditional norms. 26. What motivated the author to meet the writing challenge? A. The desire to demonstrate his talents. B. The professor's trust in his potential C. The demand of a school assignment. D. The aim to update his writing styles 27. What does writing bring to the author? A. Relief from academic loads. B. Courage to question reality. C. A reflection on innovations. D. A sense of self-achievement. C A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and Hou to Ouercome It. For a mathematician like myself, the pleasure of reading his book is accompanied by a sense of sadness that the topic is as relevant today as it was a century ago. Why do we drcad mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The panic of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculating proves that calculation and mathematics aren't the same thing. We understand this about writing literature. The art of creating an appealing narrative in beautiful language is different from the technical skill of getting the spelling and punctuation(标点符号) right. What, then, is mathematics? It is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. The incredible utility(实用性) of maths in the sciences and engineering has meant that it is possible to teach it only with this utility in mind. A focus exclusively on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality of its truths一 you can become fluent wherever you are from. As Auerbach puts it, you cannot do "German mathematics with a Japanese accent". But it is the case for maths as an art that is closest to my heart. In researching my book Once Upon a Prime, about the beautiful connections between mathematics and literature, I have found many examples of mathematicians and poets praising each other's disciplines. This is no surprise, as mathematics is, says Auerbach,"a poetic art". If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it. 28. What does the underlined word "dread" probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Welcome. B. Fear. C. lgnore. D. Doubt. 【高三英语试题 第4页(共8页)】 A 29. Why does the author mention literature writing? A. To illustrate the art of writing. B. To compare Iwo different subjects. C. To prove basie calculating skills are not a must. D. To show calculation is not cqual to mathematcs. 30. What is the function of paragraph 3? A. To define mathematcs as a science. B. To justify the usage of mathematics. C. To tell the issues of mathematics. D. To complain about mathematics. 31. What does the author emphasize by quoting Auerbach's saying? A. Maths' limitations. B. Maths' universality. C. Maths' distinction from art. D. Maths' cultural background. D I'm a psychology researcher. Along with my teachcr Thackery Brown and music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie, our recently published research uncovered interesting connections between music, emotion and memory. When you listcn to music, it goes beyond mere hearing engagement. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is essential for storing and retrieving(检 索)memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain's emotional center. This is partly why ccrtain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional. While music's ability to awake emotions and memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also change the emotional content of existing memories. Our theory was rooted in the concept of memory reactivation-the idea that when you recall a memory, it becomes temporarily changeable, allowing new information to be included. We then developed a three-day experiment. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral(中性的) stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. We also recorded their brain activity with fMRI scans, which measure brain activity. On the final day, we asked participants to recall the stories again, this time without any music. The results were striking. When participants listened to emotionally charged music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements in the story. Even more interesting were the brain scans. When participants recalled stories while listening to music, there was increased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus. This is why a song associated with a significant life event can feel so powerful-it activates both emotion-processing and memory-processing regions. Memories, much like your favorite songs, can be remixed and remastered by music. The music you listen to while looking back or even while going about your daily routines might be subtly(不易察觉地) shaping how you remember those experiences in the future. While further research is needed, our findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and for medicine. 32. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Music helps peoplc classify memories. B. Music activates memory and emotion. C. Music drills people's emotion ccnters. D. Music trains people's hearing ability. 33. What did the participants do on the second day of the experiment? A. They recorded new stories in different musics. B. They reviewed heard stories in a quiet setting. C. They described their felings after recalling stories. D. They recalled stories with brain activity measured. 【高三英语试题 第5页(共8页)】 2 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Music impacts people's daily lives. B. Music affect people's future plans. C. Music may change memories unknowingly. D. Music may reshape emotions completely. 35. What might further rescareh foeus on? A. Whether musie can surely erase bad mcmories. B. How different types of music affect mcmories. C. What music is a hit among strong-memory people. D. Whether music can be used as a medical treatmcnt. 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。 How do you fcel about exams? 36 On the contrary, is it an experience you enjoy because it's your time to shine? Every year, many young people sit exams and whether they love or hate them, most of them will face some anxiety before the big day. If you're anxious about your exams, don't worry. You're not alone. 37 When the pressure is on to pass that all-important test, take a deep breath and absorb some good advice from people who've been through the same experience as you. 3 Nutritional therapist Kerry Torrens recommends making breakfast the most important meal of the day. She recommends eating energy-giving oats and eggs. Some research even suggests students who take water into the exam hall may even improve their grades. One thing I know I always need is a good night's sleep to help me work and think better the next day. 39 If you get good sleep your memory is better and that means you can retain the information you have revised. According to Lisa Artis from the Sleep Council, sitting on your bed when you're cramming is not a good idea because then you associate that place with stress. Revising for exams can also sometimes seem cruel, so it's good to take breaks and reward yourself with a snall treat, like a cake or a quick run around the block. There comes a point when your brain can't absorb any more information. 40 A. However, your brain is free of tiredness. B. Is it the one thing you are frightened of? C. Thus, you'll also need to know when to stop. D. ls it the only thing that you are really keen on? E. Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you energetic. F. It might seem like a stressful time for everyone in the same situation G. And that's what's recommended for anyone preparing for their exams. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in northern Arizona with the Grand Canyon and the plateaus(高原) of Sedona.

As 1 passed by the park, something caught my eye-a small dog, curled up alone beneath a bench. Its fur was messy. It had no collar, and no energy left to bark.
