Day after day,I repeated the same routines:I set up the perfect workspace,blocked out hours for writing,and reread old pages that had once made me proud.None of it helped.For a while,I blamed myself,mistaking my procrastination (for laziness or lack of discipline.Still,the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still. Eventually,exhaustion softened my stress,and I stopped pushing.What if the resistance was trying to tell me something?I opened my journal and started writing-not about the book,but about why I couldn't write it.The truth that poured out was simple and childlike:What if this book isn't as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows?Beneath the delay,I found fear-not of the work,but of judgment.Procrastination had become a safety net;staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking. So I tried something different.I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came.A sentence,half an idea,a small whisper of a scene.My hand moved first,and my mind followed.Piece by piece,those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start. By the time I finished,I saw procrastination differently.It was never merely delay.It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall.What I once called wasted time was,in truth,the stillness before courage-the quiet reward of writing. 24.Why did the author keep following the same routines? A.To escape from heavy work B.To overcome her procrastination. C.To gain a false sense of progress. D.To improve her writing technique 25.What actually prevented the author from writing? A.Lack of new ideas. B.Pursuit of perfection. C.Desire for social fame. D.Concern over disapproval. 26.How did the author manage to restart her writing? A.By taking one step at a time. B.By focusing on small details. C.By reflecting on the outcome D.By following a flexible schedule. 27.What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A.Courage helps fight against fear. B.Stillness can be part of creativity. C.Procrastination is a waste of time. D.Writers should avoid taking breaks. 高2023级三诊模拟英语试题 第4页共10页 Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence?Before the appearance of digital tools,you'd probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don't have to think them up,dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite ( ways.They place choice and authority literally in human hands,forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be.In 1946,George Orwell described good writing as"picking out words for the sake of their meaning,"a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle.Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice,while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them.The digital-native approach delivers hands-off,derivative (communication.The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you'll end up.Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English's potential,writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical-it helps us define who we are.Dictionaries aid us in achieving this:They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.I'm a Canadian;my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like "eaves trough"or "serviette" which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by Al chatbots,for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds,we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 28.What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A.They promise fail-safe phrases. B.They possess academic authority. C.They facilitate creative writing. D.They provide ready-made expressions 29.What does the underlined word"stifle"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Favor. B.Revise. C.Observe. D.Discourage. 30.Why does the author mention"eaves trough"and"serviette"in paragraph 4? A.To show how Al aids us in expressing B.To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C.To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D.To illustrate how language use affects identity. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why Keep Your Dictionary? B.How to Deal with Digital Writing? C.Who Uses Writing Assistants? D.What to Expect from Dictionaries? 高2023级三诊模拟英语试题 第5页共10页 D Secret codes once thought impossible to crack now face a challenge from quantum computers. Luckily,to protect information,physicists have developed a theoretically foolproof system called device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD),which uses entangled quantum particles( )to fix weak points in existing methods.Now,a team in China has demonstrated the technique in real city conditions,an advance that could clear the way for a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken for granted. Most cryptography (works by encrypting messages with a secret code that requires a special key to decode.The challenge lies in making sure the key can't be decoded when sent.For instance,the keys in one popular encryption scheme are based on the prime factors of large numbers,which take enormous effort to crack.But such calculations could be quick work for the large quantum computers.QKD offers a solution,but it has a weakness:hardware must be perfect. DI-QKD removes the need for trust in the hardware,by employing another feature of quantum mechanics-entanglement-which closely links properties of widely separated quantum particles.If the sender and receiver entangle a pair of particles across the network,they can each perform tests that confirm the particles'properties are strongly linked,well beyond chance.After this"handshake",they can be sure they're the only ones on the channel.Then,other measurements on the entangled particles can establish a key,which can be shared with confidence that nobody can decode it. In 2022,a UK-based team managed to create and share a DI-QKD key for only about 2 meters.Now, Jianwei Pan and his colleagues have extended this to practically useful distances.After collecting data for 26 days,they showed they had the statistics to establish and share a key across 11 kilometers.The researchers also showed that in theory-and given about 23 years for data collection-they could have sent a key across 100 kilometers.Pan's group now plans to explore ways to perform DI-QKD using satellites in space 32.What is the advance made by Chinese scientists? A.They put forward a coding theory. B.They enhanced DI-QKD practicality. C.They set up the quantum internet. D.They discovered quantum entanglement 33.The author explains the encryption principle by A.providing a definition B.making a comparison C.giving an example D.citing a statement 34.What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A.What entanglement is. B.How DI-OKD works. C.What prevents key sharing. D.How particles connect 35.What is the limitation implied in the last paragraph? A.Long data collection time. B.Strict laboratory conditions. C.Unstable entangled particles. D.Heavy reliance on satellites. 高2023级三诊模拟英语试题 第6页共10页 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety.They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers.36It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth,drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about.Family?Favorite subject?He kept silent until I suggested,"Hobbies?"He shyly said,"I like boxing."Then his essay unfolded,not about boxing itself,but about self-discipline and resilience,qualities that any college would admire.So look into the things that shape you.37 Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms,such as a poem or a play.Most still follow the traditional storytelling model:a hook ()a story,and a lesson learned. 38For example,the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father's handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer.The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor,I was hung up on language rules at first.Should I help my students stick to"standard English,"or let them write the way they naturally speak-even if that includes informal expressions? 39 It's also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers.It doesn't hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light,conversational tone 40 Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas,refining language,and rewriting drafts.With multiple edits,they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A.After all,I preferred a formal writing style. B.A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C.I soon realized writing isn't just about language. D.That's why they try to make up appealing stories. E.Whatever the form,an essay stands out for its story. F.Once a topic clicks,the essay practically writes itself. G.But a powerful essay doesn't require a dramatic story. 高2023级三诊模拟英语试题 第7页共10页 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。 Over 200 residents of Beckenham,southeast London,had raised nearly f3 000 to send Paul Spiers,a well-liked street cleaner,on a summer break to Portugal.However,he couldn't go on a crowdfunded() holiday because his 41 Veolia,had rules against accepting gifts.But then,the travel company On the Beach42 a special"competition"with very 43entry requirements:You must be 64 years old,have the last name Spiers,be a street cleaner in Beckenham,and be 44 by the community.Not surprisingly, Paul won.Finally,Veolia 45 him to accept the f3 000 holiday voucher (as a"prize" Paul's 46 to his job was evident in the little things he did every day.For instance,he once found a lost wallet while 47the streets and went out of his way to return it to its owner,who then expressed great48His friendly greetings and cheerful spirits 49 brought smiles to the residents he served.

As a wildlife photographer,I believed that powerful images could inspire people to care about endangered species.However,in my eagerness for the "perfect moment,"I sometimes focused more on results than on the animals themselves.On my second day there,an elderly local man named Tenzin quietly reminded me that the deer were easily frightened and that loud noises or sudden movements could cause serious stress to them.I nodded politely,but deep down I felt my professional skills would keep everything under control. During the long wait,I noticed signs of life everywhere-fresh prints near the water and broken grass along the slope.Tenzin would occasionally pass by,silently observing the land with calm familiarity.His gentle presence contrasted sharply with my restless checking of equipment and constant adjustments. On the seventh morning,as the first light touched the snow-covered mountains,the landscape suddenly came alive.One by one,white-lipped deer stepped out of the mist.Soon there were dozens,then more than a hundred,moving peacefully along the riverbank. 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。 Afraid that the moment would vanish.I launched my drone without hesitation.

Digital tools thus bridge the past and the future of Chinese culture.They make cultural resources easier to access and more engaging for the public.By combining technology with respect for tradition,I believe we can ensure that traditional culture continues to live. 1 第二节（满分25分） One possible version. Afraid that the moment would vanish,I launched my drone without hesitation.The excitement rushing through me left no room for thought or caution.The sudden buzzing sound shattered the peaceful scene.The deer raised their heads nervously,and within seconds,the herd fled into the mist.My heart sank as I watched them disappear.I had been so eager to capture the perfect shot that I had forgotten Tenzin's warning.The drone hovered uselessly, and I lowered my head in shame. As frightened deer disappeared into the distance,Tenzin said."Every year,there are people like you..."He stood silently for a long moment,his gaze heavy with the weight of having witnessed this too many times before. His voice was gentle but heavy with disappointment.He looked at the empty riverbank."They want to take from this land,but never learn to give back."Tenzin placed a hand on my shoulder."The deer will return when they feel safe again.Next time,watch with your eyes,not your camera."I nodded,feeling the weight of my mistake. 听力原文： Text 1 W:The sky is covered with a blanket of gray clouds.Is it going to be sunny this weekend? M:There's a thunderstorm for this Saturday,but it's supposed to clear up by Sunday morning. Text 2 M:Hi,is your store open yet?I've been waiting for 10 minutes. W:No.sorry.It's only 7:50 now.Our staff will start setting up at 8:00.And they'll need 30 minutes before opening for customers. Text3 W:Were you working on the annual report just now? M:I finished that last night.It's on your desk.I just responded to a customer inquiry that came in a moment ago. W:OK.Lucy's computer is acting up.Can you check it later? Text 4 M:Do you know how to get to the post office by subway? W:Sure.Take the grey line at Andrew Square and get off at 83rd street. M:Got it.Now,once I get off at 83rd street,what's the next? W:Go straight and take the second left,and then you will see the post office.It's across from Jack's Restaurant. Text5 M:I need to renew my gym membership.Fitness courses are my secret to staying healthy.Engaging with others can enhance my workout experience and provide motivation. W:Well,I eat a balanced diet to maintain good health.Keeping a balanced diet can meet the physical needs. Besides,my hobby of doing regular swimming exercises also makes me a fit person. Text 6 W:When are you moving out of your apartment,Jim? M:This Saturday.But my rent isn't due yet.Do you know anyone who is interested? W:I am.I've just changed my job,and your apartment is close to my new office. M:Really?That'd be great.You will like it as the balcony is spacious enough to accommodate seating,so you can enjoy the scenery comfortably.And there are many trees in the community,providing environmental benefits to the area.That's actually why I chose it in the first place. W:Sounds nice.How about the rent?I'm trying to stay with a $300 budget. M:It was $320 a month.But recently the landlady has raised it by $30.Is it OK? W:That's a bit higher,but it's worth the price. Text 7 M:Are you going to the career fair at school tomorrow? W:Yes.I can't decide what career to follow.I thought about nursing,maybe even becoming a doctor if my grades are good enough.But the thing that appeals to me most is teaching. M:Really?You surprise me.I did admire that teachers can broaden their knowledge and they adopt a mindset of continuous learning.But they have to meet lots of targets and deal with difficult students,which I wouldn't like. W:It depends on your character.What job would you like to do after graduation,Howard? M:I thought of becoming a photographer.They seem to travel a lot. W:That's a good idea,but it might be hard to succeed in it.Everyone takes pictures with their phones these days. M:Yeah,but you have to be very good to be a professional.And I think I could manage it. Text 8 W:It was very nice of you to see me off. M:It's my pleasure,Anna.I know you must be excited to go home after such a long business trip.You'll keep in touch with me,won't you?

M:Will do.Thanks a lot.Oh,I'd like to give you something to take home.Let me show you. W:This is beautiful.Chinese paper cutting!What do these characters mean? M:They mean"All the Best"!And the Chinese knot is for your parents. W:Thank you.Oh,it sounds like they're boarding now.I have to go. M:Have a good trip,Anna.Bye! Text 9 W:Martin,how do you like playing a superhero? 3 M:Overall,it makes me proud.But it really bothered me to stay fit.And keeping the superhero face on is quite tiring too.Yet,those challenges don't even come close to the difficulty of chasing and fighting.You have to make concerted efforts to act as if it's effortless. W:I heard you grew up in Canada.How was that? M:I have many family members there.I went to an international school,but the best thing was the fantastic countryside near my home.I spent most weekends camping in the forest,which was really great. W:So how did you get into acting? M:Well,at university,I studied literature but never acted in any drama.After graduating,I worked as an assistant for a producer,working on a musical comedy.One night an actor was ill and I was asked to play his part and it just went from there. W:What would you have done if you hadn't become an actor? M:Well,both my parents devote themselves to educational careers.Even so,it hardly interested me.My older brother owns a company and he said that I could have a job in his office.I guess that's what I'd probably have done. Text 10 M:World Sleep Day was organized since 2008.It is held on March 21st every year.It aims to highlight the importance of good sleep and raise awareness of how sleep determines our everyday lives.Now,a world-first study from the University of South Australia shows that increased physical activities during the day improve sleep quality and reduce tiredness,emphasizing the importance of exercise for a good night's rest.The study found that children and adults with higher levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity have less troubled sleep and better sleep quality.In general,adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night,but a recent survey found that,on workdays,only 21%of them really get a full eight hours of sleep.For teenagers,a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.However,27%of people throughout the world have sleep problems.Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders,and most people know little about their danger.So,for our good life and work,it's necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.
