"Every life is a boat, the dream is the boat sail. " Every child has a dream of what they want to be. When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father died and she was never able to do volunteer work with him. However, Renee's story didn't end there. She was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter.
Now Renee is a member of the Carme l Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician.

Students of United States history often learn that Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts and Jamestown in Virginia were the earliest settlements in North America. But more than 50 years earlier, the Spanish had settled in the far northeastern corner of Florida in what is now the city of St. Augustine.
The Spanish controlled St. Augustine from 1565 until 1821, except for a brief period of English rule between 1763 and 1783. St. Augustine became part of the United States in 1821when Spain turned its Florida territories, which were too costly for Spain to keep, over to the United States.
Today, St. Augustine is a small town, covering 27. 7 square kilometres and has a population of about 15, 000. And even with centuries of Spanish rule, it is difficult to see Spain's influence on St. Augustine because most of the buildings from that time are long gone.
The oldest structure in St. Augustine is Castillo de San Marcos. It is a fort (要塞) built by the Spanish in 1695 to protect against English attacks. The fort is now a national monument.
The city was once a popular place for wealthy Americans to escape the difficult winters in northern US states. In the 1870s, businessman Henry Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, decided to build three world-class hotels for rich visitors. They were Hotel Ponce de Leon, Hotel Alcazar, and Hotel Cordova. But the rich did not stay long. Within 20 years, the rich discovered that Palm Beach on the other side of Florida had even better weather.
Today, Hotel Ponce de Leon is Flagler College and Hotel Alcazar houses city offices and a museum. Only Hotel Cordova, the smallest of the three, is still a hotel but is now called Hotel Cas a Monica.
Still, visitors remain a main source of income for the city. More than three million people visited the St. Augustine area between July 2021 and June 2022. Many stay for just the day, but the city hopes to bring in even more visitors as St. Augustine becomes more widely known as the oldest continuously occupied US city.
8．What is the function of Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic of the article.
B．To show St. Augustine's importance.
C．To test the readers' knowledge about Florida.
D．To draw the readers' attention to Spanish.
9．Why did Spain turn its Florida territories over to America
A．The cost of governance was too high.
B．The British attacked it.
C．It intended to weaken British rule in North America.
D．It wanted to increase the influence of the US.
10．What was Henry Flagler's purpose in establishing high-end hotels
A．To preserve Spanish architectural style.
B．To serve as various functions.
C．To improve the city's defense capabilities.
D．To provide services to the wealthy.
11．What can we infer about St. Augustine
A．Many wealthy people take a fancy to have a trip there.
B．It was under the control of Spain for over 300 years.
C．Historical characteristics are the focus of tourism development.
D．Most of the Spanish buildings and businesses can be seen.

Alaska's Mendenhall glacier (冰川) is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau, the state capital. It is one of the area's most popular sites for tourists. But climate change has caused the ice to melt and the glacier to retreat(消退). That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains. Researchers say the Mendenhall glacier retreated about 800 meters between 2007 and 2021.
Mendenhall pours down from rocky land between mountains and into a lake filled with icebergs. Special signs mark the glacier's retreat, showing where the ice once stood. Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centres in Alaska.
The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry. How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area
Tourism is an important part of Juneau's economy. About 1. 6 million cruise ship (游轮) passengers are expected to stop in Juneau. On especially busy days, 20, 000 people arrive each day to a city that has only 30, 000 full-time residents.
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. "The glacier is so beautiful now, " he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.
People have many reasons to want to visit Alaska, and all the visitors help the state's economy. But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year. City leaders and major cruise lines have agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that may not do much to reduce tourist numbers because the ships themselves keep getting bigger. Some Juneau residents say they would like one day a week without ships.
12．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The Mendenhall glacier. B．The special sign.
C．The glacier's retreat. D．The tourism industry.
13．What is Manoj Pillai's attitude towards the future of the Mendenhall glacier
A．Confident. B．Annoyed. C．Concerned. D．Uninterested.
14．What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph
A．New cruise ship routes will be added in the future.
B．Alaska's tourism has lost its appeal to tourists.
C．The local government attaches great importance to tourism safety.
D．The large number of tourists has brought negative impacts.
15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Climate Change Creates Questions for Alaska's Tourist Economy
B．Residents in Juneau Are Anxiously Awaiting a Decision
C．The Best Way to Visit Amazing Alaska Is by Taking a Cruise Ship
D．The Glaciers Are Disappearing, Changing the Face of Alaska

Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession.
Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition.
The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn't speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn't know how to approach her. Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big "Hi".
Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present.
In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn't do it anyway.
In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn't recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑).
To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn't take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her.
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。
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. "Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal, " Meredith said.

Students of United States history often learn that Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts and Jamestown in Virginia were the earliest settlements in North America. But more than 50 years earlier, the Spanish had settled in the far northeastern corner of Florida in what is now the city of St. Augustine.
The Spanish controlled St. Augustine from 1565 until 1821, except for a brief period of English rule between 1763 and 1783. St. Augustine became part of the United States in 1821when Spain turned its Florida territories, which were too costly for Spain to keep, over to the United States.
Today, St. Augustine is a small town, covering 27. 7 square kilometres and has a population of about 15, 000. And even with centuries of Spanish rule, it is difficult to see Spain's influence on St. Augustine because most of the buildings from that time are long gone.
The oldest structure in St. Augustine is Castillo de San Marcos. It is a fort (要塞) built by the Spanish in 1695 to protect against English attacks. The fort is now a national monument.
The city was once a popular place for wealthy Americans to escape the difficult winters in northern US states. In the 1870s, businessman Henry Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, decided to build three world-class hotels for rich visitors. They were Hotel Ponce de Leon, Hotel Alcazar, and Hotel Cordova. But the rich did not stay long. Within 20 years, the rich discovered that Palm Beach on the other side of Florida had even better weather.
Today, Hotel Ponce de Leon is Flagler College and Hotel Alcazar houses city offices and a museum. Only Hotel Cordova, the smallest of the three, is still a hotel but is now called Hotel Cas a Monica.
Still, visitors remain a main source of income for the city. More than three million people visited the St. Augustine area between July 2021 and June 2022. Many stay for just the day, but the city hopes to bring in even more visitors as St. Augustine becomes more widely known as the oldest continuously occupied US city.

In the 1870s, businessman Henry Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, decided to build three world-class hotels for rich visitors."这座城市曾经是美国富人躲避美国北部各州严冬的热门去处。在19世纪70年代，商人亨利·弗拉格勒，标准石油公司的创始人之一，决定为富有的游客建造三座世界级的酒店。可知，Henry Flagler 建造宾馆的目的是为富人提供服务。故选D。
11．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Augustine becomes more widely known as the oldest continuously occupied US city."奥古斯丁作为美国最古老的城市而广为人知。可推知，历史特征是圣奥古斯丁旅游业发展的重点。故选C。

Alaska's Mendenhall glacier (冰川) is about 20 minutes by car from Juneau, the state capital. It is one of the area's most popular sites for tourists. But climate change has caused the ice to melt and the glacier to retreat(消退). That means it is losing more snow and ice than it gains. Researchers say the Mendenhall glacier retreated about 800 meters between 2007 and 2021.
Mendenhall pours down from rocky land between mountains and into a lake filled with icebergs. Special signs mark the glacier's retreat, showing where the ice once stood. Experts estimate that by 2050, people will not be able to see the Mendenhall glacier from the visitor centre that was built for it. That is already the case at some other glacier visitor centres in Alaska.
The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry. How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area
Tourism is an important part of Juneau's economy. About 1. 6 million cruise ship (游轮) passengers are expected to stop in Juneau. On especially busy days, 20, 000 people arrive each day to a city that has only 30, 000 full-time residents.
Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. "The glacier is so beautiful now, " he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days.
People have many reasons to want to visit Alaska, and all the visitors help the state's economy. But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year. City leaders and major cruise lines have agreed to a daily five-ship limit for next year. But critics worry that may not do much to reduce tourist numbers because the ships themselves keep getting bigger. Some Juneau residents say they would like one day a week without ships.
12．What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The Mendenhall glacier. B．The special sign.
C．The glacier's retreat. D．The tourism industry.
13．What is Manoj Pillai's attitude towards the future of the Mendenhall glacier
A．Confident. B．Annoyed. C．Concerned. D．Uninterested.
14．What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph
A．New cruise ship routes will be added in the future.
B．Alaska's tourism has lost its appeal to tourists.
C．The local government attaches great importance to tourism safety.
D．The large number of tourists has brought negative impacts.
15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Climate Change Creates Questions for Alaska's Tourist Economy
B．Residents in Juneau Are Anxiously Awaiting a Decision
C．The Best Way to Visit Amazing Alaska Is by Taking a Cruise Ship
D．The Glaciers Are Disappearing, Changing the Face of Alaska

13．考查推理判断。根据第五段"Manoj Pillai is a cruise ship worker from India. He recently got off his ship and went to see the Mendenhall glacier. ‘The glacier is so beautiful now,' he said. But he wondered what it must have looked like 10 or 20 years ago and what it would look like in the following days."Manoj Pillai是一名来自印度的游轮工人。他最近下船去看了门登霍尔冰川。"现在冰川太美了，"他说。但他想知道10年或20年前它一定是什么样子，以及接下来的日子会是什么样子。可知，Manoj Pillai对于门登霍尔冰川未来会是怎么样表示担忧。故选C。
14．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"But in Juneau, tourism officials are questioning whether the city and surrounding areas can deal with so many visitors each year."但在朱诺，旅游官员质疑该市及其周边地区每年能否接待这么多游客。可知，游客太多会带来负面影响。这座城市和周边区域都无法负荷这么多的游客。故选D。
15．考查标题归纳。根据第三段"The melting glacier leads to questions for the Alaskan tourism industry. How can tourism leaders help protect the glaciers for visitors to enjoy And should there be limits on the number of tourists to the area "冰川融化给阿拉斯加旅游业带来了问题。旅游业领袖如何帮助保护冰川，以让游客尽情享受？是否应该限制前往该地区的游客数量？可知，冰川的融化给当地旅游业带来了挑战。故选A。

七、第三部分 写作，第三节短文续写（满分25分）
52．（2024高二上·高州期末） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession.
Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition.
The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn't speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn't know how to approach her. Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big "Hi".
Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present.
In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn't do it anyway.
In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn't recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑).
To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn't take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her.
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。
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. "Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal, " Meredith said.
【答案】One possible version:
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. There was a complete silence in the classroom, and Meredith's classmate s looked at each other. When she recited, she made a mistake. Before Mr. White could say a word, she threw her walker aside and started doing push-ups. Mr. White wanted to stop her, but chose to stand by somehow. Then the girl stood up, continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly. When she finished, a student asked, "Meredith, why did you do that It's not an important assignment!"
"Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal," Meredith said. Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, "Meredith, well done! We are all teenagers! We all get in trouble time to time." "Thank you," Meredith said as a big smile spread across her face. The rest of the students smiled, too. Meredith got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.
