（2024·江苏苏州中学高二下月考）I was 18 when I first went to sea as a tourist.As a teenager who always looked for novelty and a real adventure， I joined the Merchant Navy immediately after school.I got a round-the-world journey as my first trip we went to South Africa， Australia and New Zealand and sailed down the Panama Canal.Over the next 15 years， I enjoyed a joyful life as a steward， working long hours but playing hard.Then on the evening of my 33rd birthday in November 1983， we stopped in Trinidad and a group of us went to the land to celebrate.But when I opened my eyes at noon the next day， I knew I was suffering from more than just the typical effects of being drunk and staying up all night — I found I could see nothing.
As I was helped off the ship， I tried to calm down， assuming the situation was temporary.Later， I flew back to the UK and was examined by a specialist.He told me I had a rare serious medical condition， which could make me blind for the rest of my life.I couldn’t process what I’d heard at first； it just didn’t seem to make sense.
In the following months， I felt my life was over.I had lost not only my sight but also my independence — I was trapped in my house with no income.At first， I found it difficult to make my way from one room to another， and the thought of going outside filled me with anxiety.
The turning point came when I went on a camping holiday with other visually impaired people — it made such a difference to be able to talk to people who understood my situation.Later， I started a two-year course at the Royal National Institute for the Blind， learning new skills.Halfway through the course， I got my first guide dog， Otis， which changed everything.I had a friend who always stayed with me — it was as if all the difficulties had disappeared and the sense of regained freedom was exciting.
Shortly after that， I started working again， and have since enjoyed a rewarding career with organizations that help visually impaired people.

（2024·湖南娄底涟源部分学校高二下月考）Scientists say they have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic speech.The invention could one day give people who have lost the ability to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.
The device was developed by researchers from the University of California， San Francisco.Their results were recently published in a study in the journal Nature.Scientists created a “brain machine connection” that was set in the brain.The device was built to read and record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce speech.These include the lips， tongue and jaw.
The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy （癫痫）.The individuals had the ability to speak and already had electrodes （电极） set in their brains.The volunteers were asked to read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.
The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal （发声的） muscle movement which is the key to producing human speech.Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to speak.
The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to hundreds of human listeners asked to write out what they heard.The listeners were able to write out 43 per cent of sentences with perfect accuracy.
Edward Chang is a professor of the university’s Weill Institute.He was a lead researcher on the project.Chang admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken language.
28.Who will probably benefit most from this device？（ ）
A.Those unable to hear. B.Those unable to see.
C.Those unable to speak. D.Those unable to write.
29.What do we know about the “brain machine connection”？（ ）
A.It could control the muscles. B.It could produce human speech.
C.It could transform brain signals. D.It could read and record brain signals.
30.Which of the following is important for production of human speech？（ ）

When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday dinner with extended family， it can be extremely frustrating.But parents can help kids learn self-control and teach them how to respond without just acting on impulse （冲动）.
Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents can do for their kids because these skills are some of the most important for success later in life.By learning self-control， kids can make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can yield positive outcomes.For example， if you say that you’re not serving ice cream until after dinner， your child may cry， plead， or even scream hoping that you will give in.But with self-control， your child can understand that a temper tantrum （发脾气） means you’ll take away the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait patiently.
Difficult as it may be， resist the urge to yell when you’re disciplining your kids.Instead， be persistent and matter of fact.During a child’s meltdown， stay calm and explain that yelling， throwing a tantrum， and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviours that have consequences.Your actions will show that tantrums won’t get kids the upper hand.For example， if your child gets upset in the grocery store after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy， don’t give in — thus demonstrating that the tantrum was both unacceptable and ineffective.Also， consider speaking to your child’s teachers about classroom settings and appropriate behaviour expectations.Ask if problem-solving is taught or demonstrated in school.
And model good self-control yourself.If you’re in an annoyed situation in front of your kids， tell them why you’re frustrated and then discuss potential solutions to the problem.For example， if you’ve misplaced your keys， instead of getting upset， tell your kids the keys are missing and then search for them together.If they don’t turn up， take the next constructive step.Show that good emotional control and problem-solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation.
32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？（ ）
A.Impulsive responses lead to frustration.
B.Kids’ melting down is a common phenomenon.
C.Parents should help kids make decisions appropriately.
D.Teaching kids self-control is a must for their future success.
33.What is the parents’ best attitude towards a child’s meltdown？（ ）
A.Firm and factual. B.Calm and tolerant.
C.Cautious and objective. D.Annoyed and disapproving.
34.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Emotional outburst is unexpected behaviours.
B.Kids shouldn’t be responsible for their behaviours alone.
C.Temper loss won’t give the kids a position of advantage.
D.Tantrums are ineffective in interpersonal communications.
35.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Slow and steady wins the race. B.Good example is the best sermon.
C.Experience is the mother of wisdom. D.Success comes from thorough self-control.

old grain silo （谷粮仓） in the heart of Cape Town transformed into a
museum which hosts international events and exhibitions to provide an
intercultural look into the world of African art.Works from revolutionary
artists such as Kudzanai Chiurai of Zimbabwe and Wangechi Mutu of
Kenya decorate the nine floors of the museum.

The first national museum in Thailand， whose structures can date
back to 1782 when they served as the palace of Prince Wang Na.Nearly

differently themed galleries： a Thai History Gallery， an Archaeological
and Art History collection， and a Decorative Arts and Ethnological
Collection.
The National Palace Museum in Taipei

（2024·江苏苏州中学高二下月考）I was 18 when I first went to
sea as a tourist.As a teenager who always looked for novelty and a real
adventure， I joined the Merchant Navy immediately after school.I got a
round-the-world journey as my first trip we went to South Africa，
Australia and New Zealand and sailed down the Panama Canal.Over the
next 15 years， I enjoyed a joyful life as a steward， working long hours
but playing hard.Then on the evening of my 33rd birthday in November
1983， we stopped in Trinidad and a group of us went to the land to
celebrate.But when I opened my eyes at noon the next day， I knew I was
suffering from more than just the typical effects of being drunk and staying
up all night — I found I could see nothing.
As I was helped off the ship， I tried to calm down， assuming the
situation was temporary.Later， I flew back to the UK and was examined
by a specialist.He told me I had a rare serious medical condition， which
could make me blind for the rest of my life.I couldn’t process what I’d
heard at first； it just didn’t seem to make sense.
In the following months， I felt my life was over.I had lost not only
my sight but also my independence — I was trapped in my house with no
income.At first， I found it difficult to make my way from one room to
another， and the thought of going outside filled me with anxiety.
The turning point came when I went on a camping holiday with other
visually impaired people — it made such a difference to be able to talk to
people who understood my situation.Later， I started a two-year course at
the Royal National Institute for the Blind， learning new skills.Halfway
through the course， I got my first guide dog， Otis， which changed
everything.I had a friend who always stayed with me — it was as if all the
difficulties had disappeared and the sense of regained freedom was
exciting.
Shortly after that， I started working again， and have since enjoyed
a rewarding career with organizations that help visually impaired people.

（2024·湖南娄底涟源部分学校高二下月考）Scientists say they
have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic
speech.The invention could one day give people who have lost the ability
to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.
The device was developed by researchers from the University of
California， San Francisco.Their results were recently published in a
study in the journal Nature.Scientists created a “brain machine
connection” that was set in the brain.The device was built to read and
record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce
speech.These include the lips， tongue and jaw.
The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for
epilepsy （癫痫）.The individuals had the ability to speak and already
had electrodes （电极） set in their brains.The volunteers were asked to
read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their
brain activity.
The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal （发声
的） muscle movement which is the key to producing human
speech.Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to
speak.
The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to
hundreds of human listeners asked to write out what they heard.The
listeners were able to write out 43 per cent of sentences with perfect
accuracy.
Edward Chang is a professor of the university’s Weill Institute.He
was a lead researcher on the project.Chang admitted that much more
research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly
reproducing spoken language.

When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday
dinner with extended family， it can be extremely frustrating.But parents
can help kids learn self-control and teach them how to respond without just
acting on impulse （冲动）.
Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents
can do for their kids because these skills are some of the most important
for success later in life.By learning self-control， kids can make
appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can
yield positive outcomes.For example， if you say that you’re not serving
ice cream until after dinner， your child may cry， plead， or even
scream hoping that you will give in.But with self-control， your child can
understand that a temper tantrum （发脾气） means you’ll take away
the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait patiently.
Difficult as it may be， resist the urge to yell when you’re
disciplining your kids.Instead， be persistent and matter of fact.During a
child’s meltdown， stay calm and explain that yelling， throwing a
tantrum， and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviours that have
consequences.Your actions will show that tantrums won’t get kids the
upper hand.For example， if your child gets upset in the grocery store
after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy， don’t give in —
thus demonstrating that the tantrum was both unacceptable and
ineffective.Also， consider speaking to your child’s teachers about
classroom settings and appropriate behaviour expectations.Ask if problem-
solving is taught or demonstrated in school.
And model good self-control yourself.If you’re in an annoyed
situation in front of your kids， tell them why you’re frustrated and then
discuss potential solutions to the problem.For example， if you’ve
misplaced your keys， instead of getting upset， tell your kids the keys
are missing and then search for them together.If they don’t turn up，
take the next constructive step.Show that good emotional control and
problem-solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation.

（2024·河北邯郸鸡泽一中高二下月考）Anybody passing by the
school’s football ground wouldn’t miss noticing Jake Harvey and his
friends talking about soccer.The boys always thought they would merely
select those who had the physique （体格） and skills to represent their
team.
One day， the team’s “head”， as they called him， Jake， was
busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer， Sam， in their
class walked over.The little boy called out saying he was ready to play，
but Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief， staring at the boy’s
artificial leg.“How on earth will you play for us with that artificial
leg？” Jake said.Sam got depressed when Jake’s words echoed in his
ears.He almost cried but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front
of the boys.
Meanwhile， Mr Jones， the school’s physical trainer， saw the
whole thing from his office window.After the practice session， he
walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private.“I saw what
happened， and if I’m not wrong， you sent away that newcomer，
right？” Mr Jones asked Jake.“Do you have any idea who he is？”
Jake was shocked after Mr Jones revealed Sam’s background.
As it turned out， Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous
school.He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold
medals for his team.“Maybe， Mr Jones ...But I don’t see any hope
of having him on our team.Just look at his leg，” Jake said to the
teacher.
Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam’s condition， Mr Jones
unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg.
One day， Sam’s school bus met with a car accident on the way
back from a trip.The school bus was set on fire；though Sam got out and
reached safety， he realized one of his classmates was still on the school
bus.He risked his own life to save her without hesitation.With all his
strength， he carried her out of the bus.As a result， the girl was saved
but Sam’s leg was severely injured and had to be amputated （截肢）.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-
eyed.
The next day， Jake went to the classroom， saying he had an
important announcement to make.
参考范文：
Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-
eyed.He told Mr Jones he was terribly sorry about his rudeness to
Sam.“It’s not all about winning or losing， but about having the heart
to love everyone and appreciate their talents，” Mr Jones told Jake and
left.Reflecting on these words， Jake felt more regretful.He then gathered
the members of his team， and after a short discussion， they reached an
agreement that they believed would be a surprise to Sam.
The next day， Jake went to the classroom， saying he had an
important announcement to make.All the classmates turned to him，
including Sam.Hearing he had been selected as the new goalkeeper of the
team， Sam could hardly believe his ears.Then Jake walked up to Sam，
making a public apology to him.Realizing what was happening， Sam
smiled and said with gratitude，“Thank you！ Jake.” Mr Jones
watched them from outside the classroom， feeling relieved at the scene.
谢谢观看！
