However,I thought of a past opportunity that had pushed me out of my comfort zone and how it had changed me 2. Back in college,while working at the gym front desk and 3 for a biology exam,a co-worker noticed my textbook and asked if I worked with any professors.I did not.I had never dared ask for such a chance. He told me a lab4 would soon arise when he graduated and offered to recommend me to his professor.I believed research roles belonged only to the most gifted.Deep down,I feared my weakness would5 me before the professor. Reluctantly,I agreed to try.I sat nervously before the professor and struggled with his questions,overstating my ability.Luckily,I got the position and began a new experience. I knew almost nothing of lab work at first.The professor allowed me to 6 him in the lab.Step by step I gained knowledge and sharpened my skills. This paved the way for my graduate studies and proved risky chances could bring surprising7 That lesson served as a guiding light years later.I sent in my application despite self-doubt.Soon I was teaching undergraduates,and my nervousness 8 Now,I have committed to shifting my 9 response to“yes”when presented with career opportunities.I no longer fear uncertainty.Challenging situations help us grow and uncover passions that would otherwise stay_10 1.A.Excitement B.Anxiety C.Pride D.Disappointment 2.A.frequently B.casually C.unexpectedly D.mysteriously 3.A.preparing B.waiting C.longing D.applying 4.A.revolution B.vacancy C.promotion D.emergency 5.A.block B.comfort C.convince D.betray 6.A.shadow B.guide C.assess D.notice 7.A.positions B.discoveries C.benefits D.solutions 8.A.kicked in B.took over C.broke out D.wore off 9.A.automatic B.brief C.positive D.strong 10.A.endless B.hidden C.apparent D.accessible 第1页共9页 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仪填写1个怡当的单词， 在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 A tiny dog named Pricta,who had gone missing for nearly two weeks after 11(frighten)by fireworks on Independence Day,was miraculously rescued from San Francisco Bay.After receiving a call from a concerned citizen,firefighters rushed to the scene,using drones and boats to search for the dog.12_(spot)from above,the exhausted animal was carefully pulled from the water and immediately wrapped in a warm blanket.Later she13(hand)over to an animal welfare team, which tracked down her owners.Having almost lost hope,the owner expressed sincere gratitude to the 14(rescue),saying that the past two weeks had been filled with agony and worry. B For generations,we regarded sleep,exercise and diet15three separate pieces of health advice.Yet modern science reveals a more elegant truth-they all care for the same biological system.At its heart lie mitochondria(线粒体)，the tiny structures inside cells that transform food into energy.16 the brain makes up only 2%of body weight,it consumes roughly a fifth of the body's energy at rest.Sleep repairs damaged mitochondria,exercise makes them more efficient,and diet provides the raw materials they need.The three habits are simply different ways of sustaining the ancient energy system on17both our bodies and minds depend C The Eight Immortals Legend is a beloved piece of Chinese folklore that 18(date)back over a thousand years.It centers on eight Taoist immortals crossing the sea,each displaying unique powers through their own magical treasures Their adventure sparks a conflict with the Dragon King of the East Sea,resolved through the mediation of Guanyin.The legend 19 (evolve)over centuries through oral storytelling and literary adaptations before it was standardized in Wu Yuantai's Ming Dynasty novel The Journey to the East.In 2008,it was listed as 20 item of intangible cultural heritage,showcasing its enduring appeal in Chinese culture. 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题：每小题2分，共28分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题 纸上将该项涂黑。 A The city environmental department launches the Rain-Garden Volunteer Program to build small community rain-gardens across densely-populated residential neighbourhoods.Funded jointly by city public utilities and limited private donations, these specially designed gardens collect rainwater runoff from streets and rooftops, moderate local flood pressure during rainy seasons,filter harmful pollutants carried by storm water,and create stable habitats for native bees,butterflies and songbirds. Volunteers will take part in different stages of garden building and long-term 第2页共9页 maintenance.Practical tasks include removing invasive plant species,planting locally-adapted native species,building natural stone borders,lring fallen rubbish, and carrying out seasonal pruning (work after construction is finished.Previous professional gardening experience is not a compulsory requirement.Free group training sessions will be offered one week before field work,covering native plant knowledge,tool usage and strict safe outdoor operating rules.Though training is open to all registered participants,attendance is strongly recommended yet not mandatory. Volunteer groups are organized by neighbourhood zones.Each team is led by one full-time paid environmental technician.Most field work takes place on weekend mornings,while occasional weekday afternoon sessions are arranged for university student groups.Participants should bear in mind several non-negotiable requirements. Closed-toe shoes are compulsory for all field work to avoid cuts from stones or sharp branches.Volunteers under 16 must come along with a parent or legal guardian;written parental permission alone will not be accepted as a substitute.This programme offers no cash payment.Every regular participant will receive a printed guidebook about city storm-water management as well as a reusable water bottle,yet these souvenirs are only handed out upon completion of at least two on-site activities. Registration is carried out online.When signing up,volunteers must choose their neighbourhood zone and fill in basic personal information.If participants cannot make it after registration,they are expected to cancel at least 48 hours ahead so that spare positions can be given to people on the official waiting list.Simply sending a replacement volunteer without advance notice will lead to disqualification from future activities. 21.What is one major function of the community rain-gardens? A.Providing funds for public utility services. B.Supplying clean drinking water for local residents. C.Reducing the risks of urban flooding in wet months. D.Producing organic vegetables for surrounding residents. 22.According to the passage,participants_ A.can get souvenirs after they finish a field activity B.must be trained before carrying out any field task C.can wear open-toe footwear when the weather is fine D.must be accompanied by a legal guardian if under 16 23.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To introduce a volunteer program. B.To describe the benefits of rain gardens. C.To persuade people to protect the environment. C.To encourage people to participate in field work. 夕 As a child,I never minded being alone. Being alone meant freedom:climbing monkey bars without teachers shouting for me to stay grounded,or eating plenty of saltwater taffy without parents warning of an upcoming dentist visit.Along California's coast,the Pacific Ocean was my playground. When visiting my grandparents in South Korea each summer,I happily wandered 第3页共9页 Seoul's busy streets.Every narrow alley felt like a pirate-map path holding small surprises:a shop with rare popsicles or a quiet,cool bookstore where I could read undisturbed.Truly,nothing felt more wonderful than time spent on my own. However,when I came to college,I was surrounded by people and social events nearly all the time.I began to see time by myself as time wasted on building closer bonds with others.At Stanford,students often hear campus friendships will shape their futures,so choosing to stay alone rarely felt reasonable.Little by little,I grew to avoid private time instead of cherishing it. Frequent mid-term tests,internship searches and growing worry filled my days. Spending real time by myself forced me to face the uncomfortable,burning feelings deep inside me,so I looked for ways to keep my mind occupied.I went to concerts with friends,tried unfamiliar classes,and joined career events for paths I had once looked down on.An inner voice questioned whether I was living in a way that suited me.Still,I pushed the thought away.I believed being around other people,whatever we did and however little I enjoyed it,brought me value I could never get by myself. It wasn't until the spring of my junior year that I faced this reality.With daytime internship work and evening classes,I could seldom join group activities.One lunch break,I hesitantly visited the botanic garden by myself.Gentle fountains and rare plants offered peace away from busy office noise.Seated on a bench,I realized this was my first active choice to be alone since college-and I was enjoying the moment. My mindset shifted once more.Encouraged,I took a solo weekend trip to New York and later flew to Los Angeles for a music festival my friends could not attend.Back in senior year,I kept this attitude alive through small independent outings. As I grow older,my need for personal time has shifted.Relationships and responsibilities grow more complex,and rediscovering my childhood joy calls for patience and effort.Still,every new layer of self-discovery reminds me that the core of that childhood joy survives within me.It guides me to know myself better and prepares me to understand the complicated world around me. 24.When she was young,the author A.preferred outdoor adventures over reading B.valued the importance of travelling abroad C.longed to be independent and self-disciplined D.enjoyed moments of unguided self-exploration 25.In her first two college years,the author believed that A.frequent social activities would exhaust her mentally B.alone time didn't always come easy in busy schedules C.personal time meant lost chances of social connection D.campus friendships were valuable but hard to maintain 26.How did the author feel when visiting the botanic garden alone? A.Relaxed and surprisingly pleased. B.Curious and deeply moved. C.Amazed but mildly lonely. D.Grateful'but slightly guilty. 27.What can we learn from the passage? A.The truth lies deep within oneself. B.Time and tide wait for no man. C.Still waters run deep. D.No man is an island. 第4页共9页 C How does the brain know when it's time to wake up?Previous sleep research has focused mostly on the brain circuitry that snaps people awake in seconds or on how sleep debt builds up after days of bad sleep.But how the brain keeps track of the intermediate time scale in a single continuous session of sleep-has remained a mystery. To investigate,a neuroscientist at Washington University in St.Louis,Missouri, and her team searched for molecular signals(分子信号)that shift gradually during a sleep session.The researchers used a specialized glowing sensor in the brains of mice in real-time to watch the effects of protein kinase A,or PKA-an enzyme (also found in humans and previously linked to wakefulness.This enzyme adds chemical "tags"to proteins on the surface of brain cells. They discovered that the presence of those tags followed a distinct and predictable rhythm:when the mice were awake,the level of protein tagging stayed high and steady. But as soon as the mice drifted off,the degree of protein tagging began a slow, continuous decline that lasted for the entire sleep session.Whenever the mice experienced a micro-awakening,or a brief interruption in their sleep,the PKA-related signal spiked upwards before dropping again. That means that the tagging simultaneously records total sleep duration and the frequency of interruptions.Because the PKA signal accounts for these restless moments,monitoring it can more accurately predict the moment-to-moment probability that the mouse is about to wake up than tracking how long the animal has been asleep,the researchers found.However,the degree of tagging doesn't act as an alarm clock that triggers the exact second of waking,which could be caused by a sudden noise.Instead,it reflects a growing physiological readiness to wake. When the researchers deliberately kept the mice awake for long periods,then allowed them to sleep,the PKA signal dropped to even lower levels than during normal periods of sleep.The rate at which the signal fell remained the same.But because the sleep-deprived mice slept longer and experienced fewer periods of restlessness,the tagging levels had more uninterrupted time to decline before the animals woke up,the authors found.This suggests the enzyme signal measures how much of the accumulated sleep need has been relieved,rather than acting as a simple clock. Anita Luithi,a sleep neuroscientist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, says that sleep research has long focused mainly on using scattered electrical signals, such as those generated from electroencephalograms or EEGs,to understand human brain activity during sleep.Any work that sheds light on what's happening on a molecular level during sleep is important,she says. The researchers are planning follow-up experiments in which they will manipulate PKA's activity in real time to investigate whether the level of tagging directly drives the relief of sleep debt. 28.What does the "intermediate time scale"in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.The days over which sleep debt slowly adds up. B.The minutes or hours throughout one stretch of sleep. 第5页共9页 C.The time needed for the brain circuitry to wake people up. D.The time measured across several separate sleep sessions. 29.What does the research done on sleep-deprived mice show? A.Sleep-deprived mice have more sleep interruptions. B.The amount of relieved sleep need can be reflected. C.A clock can tell the wake-up time of sleep-deprived mice D.Longer undisturbed sleep makes PKA signal declino faster. 30.According to the passage,we can learn that A.the tags made by PKA can record sleep features B.PKA's activity can be manipulated in real time C.the research is praised for using new molecular tools D.the research shows the significance of relieving sleep debt D If someone knocked on your front door intending to murder a guest,would you lie to protect this person:to claim that they aren't in your house when,in fact,they are? Misleading a would-be-murderer in order to save an innocent life is self-evidently better than sticking to the principle that lying is wrong. Or,is it?Philosopher Immanuel Kant gave a different answer:absolute honesty is the only morally justifiable policy."To be truthful in all declarations is,"he wrote, a"sacred unconditional command ofreason,and not to be limited by any expediency". Untruth is injurious to humanity as a whole,and this makes truth-telling a universal duty. Yet real-world circumstances are rarely so simple.History provides many situations in which such questions became painfully real.During World War II,many Europeans lied to invaders to protect innocent civilians.Among those who joined resistance movement and were later honored as national heroes,some went far beyond what could reasonably have been expected and struggled with both their deeds and their own heroic status.Courage,therefore,also means accepting responsibility for what follows. Indeed,we may need to be courageous enough to pay a moral price on others' behalf.Jean Paul Sartre described a young man hesitating between two kinds of morality-his morality of sympathy to his mother who depended on him completely, and the morality of a wider scope as he wished to fight for his country.No moral rule could tell him which duty mattered more.Instead of searching for certainty,Sartre argued,he had to choose for himself-and live with the consequences. According to Sartre,there is simply "too much uncertainty embedded in the situation for any universal framing of duty to resolve it".And there are no principles to guide our decision.Yet,this is no cause for despair.As Sartre told the young man, "Nothing remains but to trust in our instincts".It is the courage to act in the absence of certitude that defines the gift of human freedom.We must act,then try to live with the consequences of our actions While Kant and Sartre reached different conclusions,there is one common ground: an insistence that each of us owes a duty to truth which we must find a way to honor, no matter what our circumstances.Kant believed that truthfulness is the foundation of 第6页共9页 moral life.Sartre saw that honesty begins with admitting that no universal rule can remove every uncertainty. Most of us will never face the dangers of war.Even so,ordinary life constantly asks us to make choices without complete information or guaranteed success.Every decision,large or small,asks us to accept uncertainty.No matter how strange or terrible the demands our times may make,it is the resolution to bear their burdens honestly that defines us. 31.Which statement explains Kant's refusal to lie? A.The belief in free will should guide moral decisions. B.Moral duties should remain constant across situations. C.Moral choices should focus on protecting the innocent. D.Personal judgment should outweigh universal principles. 32.What does the word "certitude"underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A.Evidence.B.Support. C.Responsibility. D.Certainty. 33.What does Sartre's example of the young man mainly illustrate? A.Moral choices may involve conflicting responsibilities. B.Moral courage depends on following universal principles C.Public duties should be prioritized over family obligations. D.Historical situations can help identify the more important duty. 34.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.The Duty to Tell the Truth B.The Courage to Act C.The Moral Price of Lying D.The Gift of Freedom 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上 将该项涂黑。·选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you find yourself lacking energy,and that simple tasks are taking longer to do them?Feeling detached,alone,negative or helpless?Do you feel like life is getting on top of you and you're unable to keep up with the demands of your to-do list at work or at home?35.It is a state of physical or mental exhaustion that is usually triggered by long-term exposure to stressors. Common symptoms include struggling to sleep or sleeping too much,feeling fatigued,finding it hard to do normal daily tasks,and a feeling of dread or anxiety. This can impact on your mental health,as you struggle to regain a sense of balance. 36It's not uncommon to drink more than usual,eat less well and neglect exercise-all things we know are connected to poorer mental health. 37You don't have to be a corporate executive to feel the pressure at work, and you don't have to have a house full of children to burn out at home.Burnout can impact anyone at any time;the only common trigger is some kind of chronic stressor. If there's something that's making you feel chronically stressed,it can lead to burnout. One thing that can help is to regain a sense of perspective.Ask yourself:What do I want to be remembered for when I'm gone?Do I want someone to stand up at my funeral and say,"Well,she worked so hard we never really saw her",or do I want them to tell stories about the amazing times they had with me when I wasn't working? 第7页共9页 Next,make sure you plan in some time for you.Sometimes what you need is a complete stop to reset.38 You may want to consult a professional if you're struggling to identify the changes you need to make,or someone from another corporation to give you a different perspective. The most important thing,however,is not to ignore the way you're feeling. Burnout is very real,and won't get better without some kind of intervention,self-care and rest.If you ignore it,it can get worse,causing real damage to your physical and mental health.39 A.It's much better to take action before it's too late. B.Burnout is something that anyone can experience. C.These are all signs that you could be heading towards a burnout. D.Besides,talking with someone close to you can also be beneficial. E.It's also worth talking with someone removed from your situation. F.However you feel,you are not alone in experiencing these failures. G.When you're feeling burned out,other areas of your life also start to suffer. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共12 分) In Australia's Great Sandy Desert,native people have long used fire to care for the land.Carrying firesticks as they travelled,they burned small areas of dry grass at the right time of year. However,as desert people left their nomadic life in the 1950,traditional burning gradually faded.Many medium-sized mammals disappeared from the Western Deserts. In the 1980s,lots of native people returned and resumed traditional burning.A recent study explored how this practice increased the number of the bilby(兔耳袋狸)，a nationally threatened animal that is also culturally important to native people. The study found that native people regularly burn small patches of dry grass,by which they remove the fuel that would otherwise feed massive wildfires.These controlled burns create a mosaic of vegetation at different ages-freshly burned areas with little plant growth act as natural firebreaks,stopping larger wildfires from spreading.Satellite data confirms this:after burning resumed,more than 70 small fires occurred each year(most under five hectares),and no large fires have burned in the area since 2002. This pattern also benefits bilbies and other animals.Freshly burned areas encourage new plant growth,providing food,while nearby mature grass offers safe cover from predators such as cats and foxes.When threatened,a bilby can quickly move from an open feeding ground to nearby shelter.Small but stable bilby populations have persisted there since 1999. In contrast,remote areas without traditional burning saw fires only two or three times a year,but each burned more than 2,500 hectares.In one abandoned outstation, several large wildfires wiped out the local bilby population entirely. The research shows that native land-management practices can protect threatened species.As one Elder put it,people need to"look after the land properly"so that both nature and people can remain healthy. 第8页共9页 40.What happened after native people stopped traditional burning? 41.How do native people remove the fuel that could cause massive wild fires? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Freshly burned areas encourage new plant growth,thus offering cover from predators. 43.What can you learn from the passage?How can you apply it in your life?(In about 40 words) 第二节（20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你所在的小组报名参加了一个以“Art Connects the orld”为主题的艺术作品征集活动，请你给外籍指导老师Jim写一封英文邮件，内容包 括： 1,介绍作品设想： 2.咨询现有问题。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours sincerely, Li Hua (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内) 第9页共9页 G24级高三英语10月月考答案 一、完型填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）： BCABD ACDAB 二、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分) 11.being frightened 12.Spotted 13.was handed 14.rescuers 15.as 16.Though/Although/While 17.which 18.dates 19.had evolved/had been evolving 20.an 三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共38分） CDA;DCAA;BBA;BDAB; CGBEA 四、阅读与表达(40、41题2分，42题3分，43题5分，共12分) 40 Many medium-sized mammals disappeared from the Western Deserts. 41 By regularly burning small patches of dry grass. ● Native people regularly burn small patches of dry grass,by which they remove the fuel that would otherwise feed massive wildfires. 42 Freshly burned areas encourage new plant growth,thus offering safe cover from predators.
