B I first encountered tai chi in Ottawa's Chinatown.Men and women gathored n loose formation.Their actions combined to achieve a meditative dance.I was amazed by its beauty and grace.It was like watching a water lily opening. Yet I couldn't see the point.I could achieve my fitness goals from exorcise classes. swimming and cycling-and moving so slowly didn't seem to build muscle,my objectivo for all activities.I chose only to admire this martial art (but kept my distance. Years later,a recommendation from my doctor brought me to a training group for tai chi beginners led by a caring instructor.I had thought that my goal would be to master the 108 moves. Technically right,but wrong on so many respects. The class was full of lovely people who glided effortlessly,seemingly never confused about where to move next.They assured me that they had been beginners once too,and that I would bo able to remember all the moves within three or four years.Three to four years!Graduate degrees took less time.But I could see they were right.Commit and improve:That was the only path. Another realization came to me when I attended an advanced class.We began with foundation exercises,and almost immediately,the instructor singled me out for instruction.To be singled out was an honour,but I was mortified.All the others in the class stopped and turned to watch me while the instructor corrected my positioning."Don't bend,"he said,and I repeated the movement."Straighten your back,"he urged,and on it went-probably for only a few minutes, but it seemed like hours. I couldn't say,"Yeah,I get it."I had to show that I did.I concentrated as I had never done before,listening to what the instructor was saying,watching his movement and then willing my body to move in imitation.I was unlearning and learning,overcoming awkwardness to focus.I realized that I was learning a new way of being in the world-truly listening and open to correction. I don't know that I will ever master the 108 moves.What I do know is that I have found an activity in my life where change and growth are not just possible but expected,even when my stubborn personality tendencies re-emerge at every tum. 24.What was the author's first impression of tai chi? A.Pleasant to the eye but not of much use.B.Too slow to be regarded as a martial art.

A.She denied her weaknesses and carried on. B.She stayed focused and followed attentively. C.She worked hard and displayed her talent. D.She opened up her mind and sought advice. 27.Which of the following can be concluded from the author's experience? A.Tai chi empowers people to improve.B.Tai chi keeps the balance of the body. C.Tai chi fires people's passion for sports.D.Tai chi facilitates healthy relationships. 前？币（北而） C What images does science conjure up (in your mind?You may well be visualizing a laboratory equations written on a blackboard.Figures are surrounded by glassware filled with colored liquids.Maybe someone is studying the world under a microscope. But what this scene fails to show is that science isn't about labs,equipment or highly trained professionals.It is not even a body of knowledge locked away in great minds or kept within textbooks and journals.Instead,it is about having a curious,creative,critical and evidence-based mindset,which-means anyone who uses the scientific method can and should consider themselves a scientist.Indeed,many a discovery has been made by amateur scientists. Amateur scientists are helping to shape science.In January 2023,a new study confirmed the theory of amateur archacologist Ben Bacon who concluded 20,000-year-old cave markings were a lunar calendar.He spent hours decoding the mysterious writing system,which may predate other similar record-keeping systems by at least 10,000 years. Astronomy has a long history of encouraging input from nonprofessional scientists.Brother and sister team William and Caroline Herschel are among the most well-known.Back down on the ground there is still plenty for the amateur to explore.Mary Anning is one of the most notable amateur Earth scientists. In the early 19th century,Mary Anning unearthed fossils on the beaches of Lyme Regis, Dorset.Despite her limited education,she read as much scientific literature as she could get her hands on and produced detailed technical drawings to record her finds.Unfortunately,the influential Geological Society of London did not allow female members.So Anning was forced to sell her finds to "gentlemen"geologists who passed her work off as their own. 28.Why does the author mention the images in paragraph 1 A.To explain what science is. B.To show people's general opinion of science. C.To introduce how scientists experiment. D.To stress the importance of having scientific equipment. 29.What does the author think of scientific discovery? A.It relies on labs and equipment.B.It is mainly done by professionals. C.It requires an innovative mindset.D.It is irrelevant to amateur scientists. 30.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed? A.By making a comparison. B.By following time order. C.By analyzing cause and effect. D.By giving an example. 31.Why did Anning sell her finds to other geologists? A.She sold them for money. B.She experienced inequality in the scientific field. C.She considered them unimportant.D.She wanted to pursue higher education. 高三第四次月 D Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday moming to conduct a comprehonsive survey of Earth's vital resource.By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans,lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90%of the globe.It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface. The major task is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process.Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90%of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human-caused greenhouso gases.Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations(高度)around smaller currents and eddies(镟涡)，where much of the oceans'decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur."Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question:What is the tuming point at which oceans start releasing,rather than absorbing huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming,rather than limiting it,"said Nadya Shiffer,Swot's program scientist. By comparison,earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points,or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation（s外推法).Thanks to the radar instrument,Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth.This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible. "Rather than giving us a line of elevations,it's giving us a map of elevations,and that's just a total game changer,"said Tamlin Pavelsky,Swot freshwater science leader. 32.What does the underlined expression "vital resource"in the first paragraph refer to? A.Technology.B.Climate. C.Oceans. D.Water. 33.What is the major mission of Swot? A.To explore the influences of greenhouse gases. B.To explain the consequence of global warming. C.To identify causes of water absorbing heat and CO2. D.To study the functioning of oceans influencing climate. 34.What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely? A.The high-definition computer. B.Advanced radar technology. C.The three-dimensional image. D.An accurate map of elevations. 35.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.A Solution to Climate Change B.A Breakthrough in Space Travel C.First Global Water Survey from Space D.The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 In today's information age,where access to the latest knowledge and data is almost instantaneous(瞬间完成的)，the ability to effectively absorb new information is critical.3s Let's explore some proven strategies that will help you make the most of your learning and avoid “information overload'”. ☆37 Diving into new information immediately after leamning it helps solidify (it in your memory.For instance,if you discover a new time management technique at a meeting,try to apply at least one tip the very same day. Rewrite,express,and summarize information without delay Use a journal or notebook to write down and interpret new insights.38 They may review a book,create concept maps,or simply note their thoughts.For example,after reading an article,write down the main ideas and formulate questions for further exploration. Don't rely only on memory-repetition is the mother of leamning. 39 Applying new materials in practice helps strengthen them.For example,start gradually integrating aew knowledge into your work processes or daily routines. Anyhow,if you follow the rules above,you can adapt to new data more quickly,explore deeper into it,and remember it for a long time.40 So take action now. A.Many successful individuals keep records. B.Even the most interesting ideas can fade from memory C.Act quickly while the information is still fresh in your mind. D.Continuously adjust your mind as you acquire new knowledge. E.After receiving information,it's vital to pick up the main concepts. F.They will help whether you're learning for personal growth,or simply out of curiosity. G.However,there are so many ideas and concepts out there that it's easy to feel flooded. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（供15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） As a busy working mother and lawyer,I 41 have time to revisit my love for literature.

All done and headed back on the train.I.wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior,but wisely just sat quietly. An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car.In wom but neat clothes,he tipped(使倾斜)his faded cap and greeted everyonc with a warm“Good afternoon,folks.”Most ignored him,with cold blank faces.Then,he started to sing.I didn't turn my head,but I felt a smile in my soul.Many people ask for money on the train,'but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead.It feels like a gift. I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered.A young boy across from me, maybe ten,watched him,swaying to the rhythm,his mother too distracted by her phone to notice. He started his second song,and my heart did a happy dance."Lean on me,when you're not strong.I'll be your friend..."I love that song!Without thinking,Isoftly sang a little hammony with him.Right away,I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse. He looked tall and thin,but he had a strong voice and kind energy.Life had clearly been hard for him,but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity. I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me.He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car,pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign-though no one glanced up.No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet. 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。 Somehow,he noticed me singing along. It was still hot and sticky inside the car,but something had changed.
