It was a chilly morning right before the all - important college entrance examination. The school bell rang shrilly, prompting students to hurry into the classroom. However, an unexpected situation arose when their math teacher, Mr. Li, was absent. As time passed by, a sense of unease and panic began to grip the students.
Just then, the classroom door opened abruptly. Mr. Li limped in, with his right ankle visibly swollen and wrapped in a bandage. He had sustained an injury, spraining his ankle on his way to school. Without uttering a single word of complaint, he grasped the chalk and started writing mathematical equations on the blackboard. Despite the pain that caused his voice to quiver slightly, he remained resolute while elucidating complex problems.
The students were profoundly touched and became more concentrated than ever. For the subsequent two hours, the classroom was alive with the sound of pens scratching on paper and the low murmur of intense academic discussions. Mr. Li never once took a seat, instead slowly pacing around the classroom to offer assistance to those students who needed it.
When the class finally concluded, all the students rose to their feet and applauded. That particular morning, they had not only acquired knowledge of mathematics but also experienced the remarkable power of dedication. It turned out to be an indelible moment during their busy senior year, motivating them to stay strong in the face of hardships.

In recent years, online learning platforms have become significant educational aids, bringing great convenience to senior three students in particular.
These platforms boast a plentiful supply of learning materials. They house extensive libraries of courses spanning diverse subjects. For example, students have the opportunity to explore detailed video lectures that dissect complex math equations or offer profound insights into classic English literary works. Such resources are invaluable for students seeking to deepen their understanding.
One of the most outstanding features is the flexibility they offer. Learners can tap into the learning materials whenever and wherever they desire. Be it in the wee hours of the morning before heading to school or late into the night after wrapping up homework, the learning process need never stop. This adaptability empowers students to revisit knotty concepts repeatedly until they achieve a full comprehension.
Furthermore, the interactive aspects of these platforms significantly enrich the learning journey. Online forums and discussion boards serve as platforms for students to swap ideas with peers from all corners of the country. They can pose questions, disseminate study hacks, and collaborate on tough assignments.
In summary, online learning platforms have completely transformed the traditional learning paradigm. By making the most of these platforms, senior three students can broaden their intellectual horizons, enhance their learning efficacy, and gear up more effectively for the college entrance examination.

Mind mapping has become an increasingly popular learning technique among senior three students. It is a visual tool that presents information in a hierarchical and interconnected way.
At its core, a mind map starts with a central topic, like a key chapter in history or a complex scientific theory. From this center, branches extend outwards, each representing a sub-topic. For example, in studying a literature work, the main theme forms the center, and branches could include characters, plot development, and literary devices.
One major advantage is that it stimulates creativity. By allowing students to freely associate ideas and make connections, it unlocks new perspectives. Instead of rote memorization, they can understand the relationships between different elements.
Moreover, mind mapping helps with memory retention. The vivid visual layout makes it easier for the brain to recall information. When reviewing for exams, students can quickly glance at their mind maps and retrieve the knowledge stored.
In conclusion, incorporating mind mapping into study routines can enhance learning efficiency, making the challenging senior three curriculum more manageable and engaging.
32.The word “hierarchical” in the second line probably means _____.
A. arranged in a random order B. organized in a step-by-step or ranked order
C. mixed together without any order D. separated completely from each other
33.What can we know about the branches of a mind map when studying a literature work
A. They only include the names of the authors.
B. They have nothing to do with the plot.
C. They cover aspects like characters, plot development and literary devices.
D. They are used to record the publication date.
34.What is one of the main benefits of mind mapping according to the passage
A. It makes students study longer hours. B. It helps students remember things better.
C. It forces students to read more books. D. It limits students' thinking.
35.What is the author's attitude towards mind mapping
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Supportive.

Nicole Moore was walking around in waist﹣deep water at a beach in Cancún,Mexico.It was the last day of January 2011,and the 39﹣year﹣old nurse was vacationing with friends from her exercise group from Orangeville,Ontario,a small town north of Toronto.
But at that moment,she was alone.She'd just finished playing beach volleyball,and while the other guests headed back up to the hotel for lunch,she enjoyed the warm water and splashed the sand from her body,the result of some dramatic volleyball saves.She didn't realize it,but this simple action was creating a disturbance in the sea.
Nicole looked up and glimpsed two people on Jet Skis waving at her and yelling in Spanish.She waved back and laughed,thinking they were having fun.
What she didn't know was that they were calling for her to get out of the water.They'd seen two bull sharks,and they were trying to warn her while attempting to scare the sharks back into the deep.One shark did leave,but the other proved more persistent.Instead of turning out to the boundless ocean,it veered in toward the shore.
The Jet Skiers yelled once again to Nicole.Only then did she realize something was wrong.
Nicole pivoted toward the beach and began to wade in.She felt a bump.What was that?Before she could react,the shark ripped into her left thigh,its barbed teeth tearing into her flesh,down to the bone.The shark yanked away more than a foot of skin and muscle from Nicole's leg.The water was instantly ablaze with billowing,bright red blood.
Though Nicole felt no pain,she knew how much trouble she was in.She needed to get out of the water.But the shark had destroyed her left leg,leaving it useless.She started using her arms to propel herself to the shore,struggling to move forward in the water.
As she did so,the shark circled her,and then lunged,clenching her left arm in its jaws."No!" she screamed.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The shark had her entire arm locked in its mouth,and it started to pull her underwater._________________

One of the Jet Skiers accelerated toward Nicole,who was close to slipping beneath the waves._____________

46. B。lit 是 light 的过去式,light a spark 为固定搭配,意为 “点燃火花”,这里指老人的坚韧点燃了我内心的火花,选 B;lighted 虽也是 light 的过去式,但作定语修饰名词时常用 lighted,如 lighted candle;burn 燃烧,fire 开火、解雇,均不合适。
47. B。clench one's teeth 是固定短语 “咬紧牙关”,这里指受老人鼓舞,我咬紧牙关继续,选 B。

56.but/yet.考查连词。句意:起初,他在加州州立大学学习物理,但后来他离开了,去追寻自己的电影梦想。根据句意可知,设空处前后是转折关系,应用连词but或yet连接,故填but/yet。
57.as.考查介词。句意:当卡梅伦做卡车司机时,他会把卡车停在路边写剧本,这促成了他的成功。work as为固定搭配,表示"从事...职业;做…工作",其中as是介词,后面通常接表示职业的名词,这里a car driver"卡车司机"是一份职业,所以应用介词as。故填as。
58.contributed.考查动词时态。句意:当卡梅伦做卡车司机时,他会把卡车停在路边写剧本,这促成了他的成功。本句陈述过去发生的事情,空处在which引导的非限制性定语从句中作谓语,应用一般过去时。故填contributed。

63.globally.考查副词。句意:也许这就是他在全球如此出名的原因。空处修饰形容词famous,应用副词globally,作状语,表示"全球地;全世界",故填globally。
64.imagination.考查名词。句意:他可以创作出新的电影类型,并将我们的想象带到我们从未去过的地方。空处作take的宾语,our是形容词性物主代词应修饰名词,imagine的名词形式为imagination,意为"想象",是不可数名词,故填imagination。

Dear Ms Maria,
Glad to hear from you. You want me to make a short video about my school life so that your students may have a better understanding of Chinese students' school life. Now let me share my video plan with you, hoping that you'll become interested in it.
Firstly, I'd like to record some beautiful sceneries in my campus and after﹣school activities, which help broaden our horizons and increase the pleasure of our life. Then, record how attentively my classmates and I listen to the teachers in class. Finally, I prefer to upload the video on the social media called TikTok. Can you imagine it when you see me on Tik Tok showing my colorful school activities?
How is the plan above? Look forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

One of the Jet Skiers accelerated toward Nicole,who was close to slipping beneath the waves.Grasping her right hand,he sent her to the shore,where a group of people gathered and offered their hands.Luckily,two more Americans were among the guests on the beach,who did first aid immediately,trying to help keep her awake by talking to her constantly.For a while,Nicole was in a coma,when she doubted whether her kids could see their mom and her husband,her parents would lose their beloved one.In no time,an ambulance came,sending Nicole Moore to the nearby hospital.She survived at last.
