Participating in Campus Welcome Activities Most universities host welcome events before the academic year officially begins,including freshmen orientations(迎新会),campus picnics,and entertainments like concerts. Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture:What do students do for fun?What are their favorite classes?What is the history of your university?It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring Campus 高三英语试卷 第 5 页（共 10 页） Getting to know where essential campus resources are—such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center—will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes. Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes. Starting a Routine Before getting too excited about all of the fun things you'll be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week. What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake. If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule. 51.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can . A.take an entrance test B.get their course schedule C.have a physical examination D.learn about campus culture 52.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings? A.To see how many facilities they can use. B.To help those getting lost on campus. C.To avoid being late for future classes. D.To practise running on their way to class. 53.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine? A.During the orientation week. B.Before the orientation week. C.After their first-day classes. D.On the first day of their classes. 54.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class? A.Take physical exercise before class. B.Keep to the sleep schedule. C.Take early classes every day. D.Leave their phones powered off. 55.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A.To remind freshmen about the first day of school. B.To offer some tips on making an easier start at college. C.To help freshmen organize campus activities. D.To share his college experience with the reader. 高三英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页） B Last year,a popular restaurant released a live stream of a family dining in it,without asking their permission.After finding out what the restaurant was doing,the family showed their objection,but the restaurant ignored it and insisted that they had the right to do it.Moreover,they tried to silence the family,saying that their behavior was damaging the restaurant's image.This event has caused a debate on the violation of privacy and portrait rights by webcasts. It doesn't bother some people when their images are unconsciously recorded by cameras and shown through live streams on different online platforms.They may even enjoy appearing on screens and cooperate with some businesses.In that way,the restaurant can have more public exposure and thus attract more customers,which is their purpose of webcasting.However,others including the family mentioned above,are against it.The family thought that their portrait rights were violated,considering no one had asked if it was okay to use the images of them.They found it intolerable that their actions captured by the camera were webcast live to millions of viewers,not to mention the fact that some of them were not so decent.Thus they demanded an apology from the restaurant. People may behave in a relaxed way when eating or resting,and they don't want others to see them in this way.Thus,from a legal perspective,if businesses webcast their customers for commercial reasons,they have violated customers' portrait rights. Webcasting someone without his or her consent amounts to a violation of portrait rights,which is getting increasingly common these days as cell phone webcasting is growing in popularity for technical convenience.However,public awareness of privacy protection is still falling behind.More should be done to make sure webcasting is developing sustainably,without violating people's legal rights. 56.What is the major issue argued in the passage? A.A famous restaurant published a live stream of a family dining in it. B.The family showed their objection to the famous restaurant's webcast. C.The restaurant claimed that the family was damaging the restaurant's image. D.The restaurant ignored the objection and insisted they had the right to do it. 57.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Customers enjoy appearing on screens. B.Customers are shown through live streams online. C.Customers cooperate with some businesses. D.Customers are unconsciously recorded by cameras. 58.Which of the following behaviors may violate customers' privacy and portrait rights? A.Businesses webcast customers' behaving in a relaxed way without informing them. B.Businesses webcast customers for commercial reasons and pay them. C.Businesses webcast customers' improper actions with their permission. D.Businesses webcast customers live according to their agreement. 高三英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页） 59.What is the best title for the passage? A.Public awareness of privacy protection is increasing. B.A debate on whether webcasts violate privacy and portrait rights. C.How can people behave in a relaxed way when having a rest. D.A famous restaurant released a live stream of a family. 60.What is the author's attitude towards webcasts? A.Subjective. B.Negative. C.Positive. D.Objective. C Whether an individual is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence (毅力 ), and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all. Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success. Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money. Success is better defined as an achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive (难以捉 摸的) definition of success. For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If an individual decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal (热情). If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力 ) when encountering obstacles. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just "in it for the money," tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving. Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined (倾向于) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success. One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple's founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In an article titled “The Seven Success Principles of Steve Jobs”, writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible for Jobs’ success. The article is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle? “Do what you love.” Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Jobs claimed that his passion for his work made all the difference. 高三英语试卷 第 8 页（共 10 页） 61. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A.make a comparison B. introduce the topic C. present an argument D. propose a definition 62. By saying “The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive definition of success.” in Paragraph 3, the author means ________. A. sometimes you don’t get much reward for your hard work B. if you want to be successful, you need a steady income C. money doesn't always define success D. the more you earn, the less money returns, which is not a sign of success 63. What could we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed. B. If you follow most people's course, success is just around the corner. C. Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs. D. If you are always proud of yourself, you will succeed easily. 64. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. Situations B. Risks C. Difficulties D.Threats 65. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Steve Jobs and His Success Principles B. Passion and Your Career C. Secrets to Success D. Follow Your Passions, and Success Will Follow D People have speculated (思索) for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning future people will simply become lazy and depressed. But it doesn’t necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure. These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel tired.” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work. I might feel rather different — perhaps different enough to throw myself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.” Daniel Everett, an anthropologist (人类学家 ) at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gathers in the Amazon called the Piranha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering as work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun.” he says. 高三英语试卷 第 9 页（共 10 页） “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.” Everett described a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening. Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill.” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We think it’s bad to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it’s quite a desirable state.” 66. How does the author introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By listing different predictions of a work-free world B. By giving a definition to inequality in society. C. By comparing wealthy people with the majority. D. By picturing a lazy and depressed atmosphere. 67. What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Challenges. B. Disadvantages. C. Losses. D. Risks. 68. John Danaher might agree that__________. A. work plays an important role in our future life B. people’s work-free future life will be full of charm C. people don’t know how to balance work and life D. higher unemployment makes life tougher for workers 69. Why is Daniel Everett’s study mentioned? A. To justify John Danaher’s opinion. B. To show a future life without work. C. To compare different views on work. D. To introduce the Piraha in the Amazon. 70 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Some people dislike a work-free world. B. The Piraha don’t think they are working at all. C. Future people might become lazy and depressed. D. Daniel Everett prefer to sit around doing nothing 第 II卷（非选择题，共 35分） 第一部分：阅读表达（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分） 阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “ I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did. 高三英语试卷 第 10 页（共 10 页） One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “ Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline. Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “ I can’t do this any more.” Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).” Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way. 71. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words) 72.
