B Cai Lei,former vice-president of JD Group,reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) diagnosis (set him on the path to find a cure. Born to a farmer's family in 1978,Cai has been deeply influenced by his father's idea that "one has to fight for himself.Since primary school,he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English.At 29,Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co.In 2011,he joined JD 高一英语试卷第3页，共10页 Group,where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice ()in China.Wherever he worked,he always tried his best to create new value. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019,he would have only two to five years to live.ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons(神经元)，which makes normally easy movements like drinking water,eating,going to the bathroom,and speaking impossible.Finally,patients will completely rely on machines and others'help to survive.So far,only two medicines are available to treat ALS,but they can at most extend patients'life for several months without improving their living quality. To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients.However,the intense effort required,which is unprofitable for so rare an illness,makes it a mission almost impossible.It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1-3billion. Take Alzheimer's disease for example.Between 2000 and 2017,investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion,and 99.6%of the research on more than 300 drugs failed. Cai decided to take matters into his own hands.He started his own medical technology company,built his own research team,and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed.However.he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless,he will continue.To shoot the last bullet,he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research.He will not die for nothing. 24.What kind of person is Cai Lei? A.Extremely ambitious and well-mannered. B.Highly motivated and strong-willed. C.Ouite reliable and clear-headed. D.Well-informed and warm-hearted. 25.What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS? A.Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines. B.Losing the ability to think and speak normally. C.Needing external assistance to survive in the end. D.Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis. 26.Why is Alzheimer's disease mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease. B.To talk about the severity of Alzheimer. C.To ask for more investment in the research on ALS. D To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A man who never gives in. B.Joint efforts to fight ALS. C.ASL,a rare deadly disease. D.Suffering of a man with ALS. C Do we really know our best friends? 高一英语试卷第4页，共10页 I like my close friends a lot,and yet,on an almost daily basis,they shocked me.I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time;I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable,or similar to our own,and yet experience regularly contradicts this.What is a friend,really?All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again. The truth is that we don't know our friends.Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do.The striking part is that the problem doesn't appear to lessen as a friendship deepens.When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms,they found that,as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other,and yet,in reality,the judgments grew no more accurate.Two people might become dear friends,yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other's inner lives. This seems strange,until you consider,that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity;they come from something closer to reliability. Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone's personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company,or lend an ear.A friend provides the"social-identity support"we desire.You needn't be a close match with someone,nor deeply familiar with their mind.And once a friendship has begun,you want to like it,if only to confirm that you made the right decision.We don't want to know everything about our friends.We don't base friendships on what we learn about people;we decide what to learn about people,and what to ignore,based on having decided to be friends. Perhaps there's something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,,ignore each other's faults and not probe(侧根问底)too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship.Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn't ask many awkward questions. 28.Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph? A.To provide background information. B.To introduce the topic of the passage. C.To stress the importance of friendship. D.To show the difference between friends. 29.The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 4 refers to A.friendships B.strangers C.researchers D.benefits 30.It can be concluded from the passage that A.close friends usually know each other in depth B.real friends are people you like but don't wish to see often C.we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends D.the longer we stay with friends,the more accurately we judge them 高一英语试卷第5页，共10页 31.Which statement about friends will the author probably accept? A.Stay friends but keep a distance. B.It takes a long time to grow an old friend. C.Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. D.True friends know all about you and still like you. D It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way-we.think about time and space.A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops. Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky,one of the pioneers of research into how language influences our thoughts,has shown that in English and many other European languages,people typically view the past as being behind us and the future in front of us.But in Aymara,spoken by the Aymara people who live in the Andes in Bolivia,Chile,Peru and Argentina,the word for future means "behind time".And when the Aymara talk about the future,they tend to make backward gestures,whereas people who speak Spanish,for example,view the future as being ahead of them and make forward gestures. Languages also encode time in their grammar.In English,for example,the future is one of three simple tenses,along with the past and the present一we say“it rained'”,“'it rains'”and“it will rain".But in German,you can say Morgen regnet,which means"it rains tomorrow"-you don't need to build the future into the grammar.The same is true for many other languages, including Mandarin. But does this affect how we think?In 2013,Keith Chen,a behavioral economist at the University of California,Los Angeles,set out to test whether people who speak languages that are"futureless"might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages.And he diseovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future-focused activities.They were 31%more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had accumulated 39%more wealth by retirement.They were also 24%less likely to smoke,29% more likely to be physically active,and 13%less likely to be medically obese ()This result held even when controlling for factors such as socioeconomic status and religion. It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us and our passage through it.And while mastering more than one language won't necessarily make us a genius,we all can gain a fresh perspective and a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language. 32.How do people in English-speaking countries and the Aymara view the word for future? A.Both see it as being ahead. B.Both see it as being behind C.English speakers see it behind,while Aymara see it ahead. D.English speakers see it ahead,while Aymara see it behind. 33.What idea did Keith Chen's research start from? A.Multilingual people have a wider view of the future. 高一英语试卷第6页，共10页 B.Cultural differences mainly shape future-oriented behavior. C.Language affects how people see and interact with the future. D.Languages with future tense make people more forward-thinking. 34.According to Keith Chen,which behavior is more typical among"futureless"language speakers? A.Ignoring health advice. B Leading an inactive life C.Saving money for the future. D.Spending money without thinking. 35.What's the author's main point in the last paragraph? A.Language study should focus on grammar. B.Learning a new language broadens your world view. C.Leaming multiple languages can make one a genius D.Language learning is key for cross-cultural communication. 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。 The Oxford English Dictionary defines work as the "mental or physical activity as a means of earning income".Since the industrial revolution,the working world has seen dramatic changes. 36 We could never have dreamed of most of them just decades ago. We are finding new ways to explore our inbomn talents and use our knowledge and skills for the good of the world.Yet most of us are operating under an outdated definition of work.We think work should be hard and that it should be a sacrifice.37 Only powerful and successful people are able to experience the pleasure of working. 38 As a saying goes,"The mind is everything.Whatever you think,you become." Stanford psychologist Carol Dweek's research on the power of thinking and a growth mindset provides even more evidence that our realities and futures are greatly shaped by how our minds approach the situation. The next best step is to come up with your own definition of work.Think through the following two questions:39 How similar or different is your actual day-to-day work to or from your definition?Ask these questions often-not just once. If you want to spend the majority of your time loving what you do and feeling a deep sense of fulfillment,you need to take charge of creating this for yourself.It doesn't matter whether you are a businessman or a student with a part-time job.40 A.What is your definition of work? B.New jobs are being created every day. C.Do you understand the definition of work? D.Enjoying work is simply something"nice to have". E.We are supposed to work hard to satisfy our own need. F.But we must remember that the mind creates the experience. G.You have more power to manage your experience of work than you believe. 高一英语试卷第7页，共10页 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（供15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从所给的A,B,C,D选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It's most people's terrible dream:surviving a plane crash only to be left in a rainforest with no way of contacting the outside world.But this was 41 for four Colombian children,and in an unbelievable story of knowledge and willpower,they42 The children,aged 13,nine and four,as well as an 11-month-old baby,were 43 with their mother.They were going to visit their father in the capital city.Their plane experienced engine problems and 44 on May 1,2023.For two weeks,bad weather prevented the army from 45 the crash site.They found three adults there later,including the children's mother, who were already 46.

All this did afford me indescribable pleasure but also got me unkind stares and blames from people around.My parents disapproved of my behavior and were constantly criticizing me for the tricks I played.I was even given a good beating from my father from time to time. Nevertheless,I ignored their warnings and did not correct my ways until an incident occurred. One summer noon when I was eight,I was alone at home and just finished lunch.Feeling very hot and bored,I decided to hang around the neighborhood,holding my trusty catapult. Soon,I came to Mr.Smith's house.His pet dog,big and strong,was tied to a post outside his house,lying in the shade lazily.Looking around,I found that no one was in sight.I decided to make good use of my catapult to play tricks on the massive dog.Picking up a few small stones from the ground,I aimed at the dog and fired them one by one.Several stones hit the poor dog and it began to bark()loudly in pain and jump up and down.But I felt so fun that I didn't stop doing so.Eventually,the dog's anger was fueled and it barked wildly at me while struggling to break away from the rope.Not realizing anything wrong with my crazy behavior,I was just laughing happily. Suddenly,the rope that tied the dog loosened and the big dog got free from its bonds.In no time,with a few powerful steps the dog was on me.Its sharp teeth sank into my leg.I screamed with pain and fright and fell to the ground,shouting out for help. 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。 Luckily,my miserable shouts caught Mr.Smith's attention.
