B（23-24·高三上·海南·期末）
Discovering a hobby can lead to amazing results, as Maria Martinez, an 11-year-old with a heart of gold, has proven.
Just over a year ago, Maria came across the world of clothes-making, thanks to one of the Christmas gifts she received. Little did she know that this newfound ability would become a source of joy and purpose, not just for her, but also for countless furry friends.
“I got a gift permitChristmas to start clothes-making lessons,” Maria said. “I really liked it.”
After mastering the basics, an idea came to her mind during a visit to a local exhibition. Surrounded by pet owners and their pets, Maria had an idea that would change lives. Why not create lovely bandannas (头巾) for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters
With great interest and the support of her grandmother, Maria turned a corner of their home into a busy working room. Together, they made many beautiful bandannas, each one filled with love and care.
But Maria’s wish went far beyond creating decorations. She began donating her works to shelters like Claws Forever in Fall River, hoping to catch the eye of some people who can take these dogs and cats home.
Maria also began selling them through word-of-mouth and at various events. “At first she started just donating the bandannas because it took her much time to make them. Then she got more skilled and was able to buy cloth with some extra income that she was making from it,” her mom, Crystal, said. “Maria is a really kind giving person and she doesn’t want for much of anything. It makes her feel good to donate. We are proud of her.” Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters, too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter.
“They were happy and really grateful, which made me feel really good inside,” said Maria. “It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.”
24．What makes it possible for Maria to start her charity
A．Her love for dogs. B．Her clothes-making skills.
C．The joy of receiving gifts. D．Grandma’s suggestion.
25．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Christmas gifts. B．Pet owners. C．Dogs and cats. D．Lovely bandannas.
26．Why does Maria give decorations to shelters
A．To make herself known to more people.
B．To protect dogs and cats from the cold.
C．To attract more people to take in the animals.
D．To help rescue homeless dogs in the streets.
27．What is Crystal's attitude to Maria's behavior
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Mixed. D．Worried.
C（24-25高三上·江西·阶段练习）
An optional college course named “Appreciation of the Jiangxi Opera” has been taught in a packed house recently at Nanchang University in east China’s Jiangxi Province due to the professor’s innovative way of teaching—putting on actual opera performances in her classrooms.
Waving water sleeves, and spinning folding fans while wearing traditional makeup and costumes, Chen Li, the instructor of this course, displayed the enchanting charm of Jiangxi Opera, a several-hundred-year-old local opera, in front of the students. Many of the students recorded the performances and posted the video clips of the class on social media platforms, receiving millions of views and likes from netizens.
Instead of adopting the traditional form of stage play, Chen devotes more attention to her students’ interactive experience. “I invite my students to come to the stage and experience the whole process of the performance by themselves,” Chen said.
The course which she teaches has been open for many years, mainly introducing the history, tunes and performance characteristics of Jiangxi Opera. It’s not well known that this course, which is full of people now, was originally rarely attended. “Before, I used to focus on the form of speech and lectures while the teaching effect was unsatisfying: the classroom was quiet and the students seemed uninterested, many even playing on their phones in class,” said Chen. To stir the enthusiasm of the students, Chen decided to put on a costume and turn the class into a stage to perform. With traditional garments (服装) and brandishing water sleeves, students are immersed in the world of Jiangxi Opera.
Faced with the unexpected fame, Chen was satisfied but also realized that a greater responsibility now rested on her shoulders. “I hope that even though the popularity of the Jiangxi Opera fades, this art can still be passed down through generations.” Chen said.
28．What is Ms Chen’s teaching method
A．Recording video clips of opera performances.
B．Giving speeches and lectures about the opera.
C．Employing the traditional forms of stage play.
D．Acting out the opera on the spot in the classroom.
29．What does Ms Chen ask her students to do in class
A．Give likes for her videos. B．Invite more fans to the class.
C．Experience the opera in person. D．Wave arms during the performance
30．What did Ms Chen think of her teaching effect in the past
A．Disappointing. B．Astonishing. C．Entertaining. D．Satisfying
31．What is the best title for the text
A．The crowded classroom means a lively class
B．Teaching Jiangxi Opera wins likes from students
C．A teacher performs in class to attract fans for her videos
D．Opera professor turns classrooms into performance stages
D（23-24高二下·广东深圳·期末）
The rejuvenating effects of a restorative nocturnal repose are widely recognized; it can engender a state of enhanced well-being. Academics in the field posit that the excellence of one’s slumber may indeed be instrumental in the prolongation of one’s lifespan.
Male subjects who enjoy a state of somnolent tranquility could potentially extend their existence by a span of nearly five decades in comparison to those bereft of such repose. The female counterparts stand to gain an increment of two decades. Additionally, it has been observed that youthful individuals who adhere to salutary somniferous routines are less susceptible to a premature demise. However, the mere quantity of repose is insufficient to reap the potential healthful dividends; the caliber of one’s slumber is equally pivotal.
The parameters of commendable slumber were delineated by a quintet of distinct criteria. These encompassed an optimal duration of seven to eight hours of repose per nocturnal cycle; experiencing difficulty in the initiation of sleep no more than twice per hebdomadal period; similar challenges in maintaining somnolence no more than twice weekly; abstaining from the consumption of any soporific pharmaceuticals; and awakening with a sensation of invigoration on no fewer than five days per septenary cycle.
The conclusions derived from the study intimate that approximately 8% of fatalities, irrespective of their etiology, could be imputed to inadequate somniferous patterns. Dr. Frank Qian, a resident physician specializing in internal medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, America, remarked, “A distinct proportional response relationship was discerned. Consequently, an increase in the beneficial elements pertaining to the quality of sleep correlates with a progressive diminution in mortality from all causes.”
The research collated data from a populace of 172,321 individuals with an average age of 50, of which 54% were female. These participants were engaged in the National Health Interview Survey, spanning the years 2013 to 2018, which sought to scrutinize the well-being of the American populace, inclusive of inquiries into their somniferous habits.
The subjects were tracked for a mean period of 4.3 years, during which 8,681 succumbed to death. Of these fatalities, 2,610 (30%) were attributable to cardiovascular afflictions, 2,052 (24%) to oncological disorders, and 4,019 (46%) to a miscellany of other causes. Among the male and female participants who reported adherence to all five indices of quality sleep (an optimal quintile score), the expectancy of life was augmented by 4.7 years for males and by 2.4% for females, in contradistinction to those who possessed none or a solitary factor.
Further scholarly endeavor is warranted to elucidate the raison d’être for the dichotomy in the enhancement of life expectancy, with males exhibiting twice the increment observed in females despite equivalent somniferous quality.
A caveat of the study lies in the reliance on self-reported somniferous habits, which were not subjected to objective quantification or verification.
32．Who is most likely to have a good sleep
A．Alice, who falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow after taking a sleeping pill every day.
B．Betty, who falls asleep quickly and has a nightmare at least 3 times a week.
C．Candy, who feels refreshed after sleeping tight weekdays.
D．David, who counts sheep and has a sound sleep every day.
33．What can we learn from the passage
A．The sleep habits in the study were reported by the test subjects.
B．Quantity of sleep was enough to achieve the health benefits.
C．Men had double the life span compared with women.
D．Poor sleep pattern caused 8% of deaths from all causes of cancer.
34．How did the researchers come to their findings
A．By referring to another study.
B．By consulting the authoritative agencies.
C．By interviewing the professionals.
D．By conducting data analysis.
35．What is the writer’s attitude to the the finding of the study
A．Ambiguous B．Objective C．Indifferent D．Doubtful
三、七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分）（24-25高三上·山西大同·阶段练习）How to Keep Personal Art Journals
You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. 36 . And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.
37 . It combines elements of writing, drawing, painting, collage (拼贴画), and even graffiti to express yourself. This includes your everyday life, as well as your hopes, dreams, and fears. A single page will often have both words and illustrations to offer a look at what’s going on inside your head.
Art journaling is a way to practice self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself — even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable insight into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. 38 .
Art journaling is completely customizable (可定制的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. 39 . The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book.
There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. Size is one. If you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. 40 . Since it’s a good chance you’ll be using mixed media, select a journal whose paper can handle both drawing and painting.
A．An art journal is a visual diary.
B．Besides, you become aware of your style.
C．Another characteristic to think about is the type of pages in the book.
D．This way, you can not only express yourself, but also influence others.
E．Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they’re comfortable with.
F．But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative.
G．You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying how it looks.

“Be proud of doing something honorable that you think might bring you shame at first,” Grandma always told us before telling us this favorite family story.
In 1918, Grandpa worked in a shoe repair shop. He labored on the night shift so that he would be free to take care of the children in the daytime, allowing Grandm a to attend school and receive an education.
On the morning of her first class, Grandm a excitedly rushed to dress for school. As she excitedly took out all her old socks, Grandma became sad. She discovered all had many holes. “Forget it, dear. We have no time to repair them now,” urged Grandpa. “You’ll be late for class. And, anyway, I have a surprise for you!”
A moment later, Grandpa handed Grandma her old high-button shoes. But she could hardly recognize them, as they had been repaired and looked beautiful. While she was sleeping that night, Grandpa secretly repaired the shoes.
Grandma's eyes welled with tears of gratitude, “I'll look like a fine lady in these wonderful shoes!” she said. “Hurry! Put on a pair of long socks and the beautiful shoes, and no one will suspect you have honey socks. They’ll be our little secret,” Grandpa promised. Grandm a nodded and rushed out when Grandpa handed her two one-dollar bills for her tuition.
Arriving at school, Grandma felt uneasy in a classroom filled with strangers. Standing ahead was a serious-looking teacher called Miss Peabody. That morning, Miss Peabody passed an empty bowl around the classroom and instructed each student to drop the fees into it. Every student did that. One student paid his fee with a bright two-dollar gold coin.
After collecting all the money, the teacher placed the bowl on her desk. Later that afternoon, when Miss Peabody counted the money, the small gold coin accidentally slipped out of the bowl and fell into Grandma’s shoe. Unaware of it, Miss Peabody discovered the coin was missing. She felt quite anxious and searched around, but in vain.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Meanwhile, Grandma felt convinced that the thing in her shoe must be the coin.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hesitant but determined, Grandma removed her shoe, feeling everyone's gaze on her honey sock.

Hello, everyone—this is your headmaster, Mr. Dodson, speaking. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it’s expected to become over 20 cm by three o’clock. So, what does that mean It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you’re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you’re doing. It’s quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we’ll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone—and please, stay safe out there.
阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）
【阅读A】21．A 22．C 23．B
【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了翡翠海岸科学中心针对翡翠海岸的学生的实地考察活动，包括其课程和价格信息等。
21．细节理解题。根据Lessons for all ages 部分“Lessons can be changed to suit the needs of most grade
levels and include knowledge of different areas. (课程可以根据大多数年级的需要进行更改，并包括不同领域的知识。)”可知，该科学中心的实地考察活动提供定制课程。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据Pricing information部分“$12 per student;1 free guardian every 10 students, additional guardians $6 each; teachers are always free. (每位学生12美元；每10名学生有1名免费监护人，额外监护人每人6美元；老师们总是免费的。)”和“Minimum fee of $120 per field trip. (每次实地考察的最低费用为120美元。)”可知，一名学生收费12 美元，每10名学生可以有1位监护人不收费，老师都不收费，但是一次实地考察活动最低费用是120美元。结合这些信息可知，9名学生和1位监护人原本费用应是114美元（学生人数不到10，监护人需收费，老师不收费），但是没有达到最低收费标准，所以按最低收费120美元算。故选C。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Bring your group or class to explore our hands-on Science Center now which provides wonderful learning opportunities for students all along the Emerald Coast!

Small changes make an ideal library
As a student, I am excited about the upcoming renovation of our library. Among the many possible changes, I particularly hope for two improvements.
Firstly, I envision a cozier reading area with soft lighting and comfortable seating. This will create a relaxing atmosphere, encouraging students to immerse themselves in books for longer periods. Secondly, I believe the addition of more electrical outlets and USB charging stations is crucial. With modern devices becoming indispensable for learning, having easy access to charging facilities will be a great convenience.
These small yet significant changes will undoubtedly contribute to making our library an ideal place for learning and exploration.

With downcast eyes, she handed the coin back to Miss Peabody. “Why do you hang your head in shame when you've done something so admirable ” Miss Peabody asked gently. Grandma explained, “I felt ashamed because of my holey sock. ” Miss Peabody 's eyes twinkled with understanding. “But those holes tell a story of honesty. They make you unique,” she said, and then turned to the class and praised Grandma's honesty. The students listened attentively, with their judgment replaced with admiration for Grandma.
