Dear Editor,
Last Sunday our school organized an activity aiming to raise the students’ awareness of the significance of labour and the joy of harvest.
We went to the Red Star Farm to experience life on the farm. The activity lasted one day. On the farm, we were divided into several groups and assigned different tasks. The tasks involved planting trees, weeding, and watering vegetables. At noon, we enjoyed lunch with the farmers, with the vegetables planted by them. Before the sunset, we returned to school, tired but happy.
The activity proved an incredibly great success as we not only have realized the value of labour but also learned to respect all labourers.
Yours,

Ⅰ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了我们是如何失去与食物的感官联系的。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is also one of the most efficient and sensitive tools in existence for determining the ripeness of fruit.”和第二段中“However, most of us don’t use them that way anymore.”可知,拇指可以用来确定水果成熟度,但是现在我们大多数人不再那样使用它们了,所以我们不常用拇指捏无花果来判断成熟度。故选A项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“But today, we have yielded many of the functions of our own senses to the modern food industry—which suits that industry just fine.”可知,今天我们已经将感官的许多功能让渡给了现代食品工业,下文“A survey of 7,000 young people in 2011 found that most of them would be hypothetically (假设地) prepared to give up their sense of smell if it meant that they could keep their laptop or phone.”提及一项调查证明上述观点,强调现在人们对感官的忽视。故选C项。
3.A 段落大意题。根据第四段内容,尤其是首句“In reality, it is not easy to live without a sense of smell.”可知,本段主要讲述丧失嗅觉带来的日常麻烦。故选A项。
4.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“No human activity is more multi-sensory than eating, but to eat in the modern world is often to eat in a state of profound sensory disengagement. We order groceries on a computer, or takeaways on a phone, and they arrive wrapped in plastic, so that we can neither smell them nor see them before we take the first mouthful.”可知,现代快节奏的生活方式使人们失去了与食物的感官联系。故选A项。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文为一篇说明文,介绍了四种预防心脏疾病、促进心脏健康的方法。
1.D 前文“Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.”表明人们已经知道一些预防心脏病的策略,D选项“但是你可能没有想到过其他的”进行转折,其中others与前文的some对应。故选D。
2.F 本段表示应得到充足的睡眠,后文“If we’re sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (发炎) and glucose levels.”描述睡眠不足带来的危害,F选项“当你熬夜的时候,生活中发生的一切都会变得有压力”与本段主旨一致,讲述了熬夜的危害。故选F。
3.A 空处为小标题,根据后文“Volunteering gets you out and creates a social network.”可知,本段说明应参加志愿活动,A选项“从事志愿工作”符合主旨。故选A。
4.G 根据前文及空前句“Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have other cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure.”可知,该段表示要远离空气污染,G选项“尽量在远离公路和工业区的地方锻炼”表明锻炼时应远离空气污染,符合语境。故选G。
5.E 最后一段说明了吃早餐的重要性,空前“If you eat a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices…”表示应吃早餐,E选项“作为健康生活方式的一部分,我们需要保持均衡的饮食”作为对于吃早餐的补充,符合语境。故选E。
Ⅲ.第一节

Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua. It’s my great privilege to deliver a speech themed on leading a healthy life.
As we all know, health is far more important than wealth and wisdom. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career. When it comes to how to stay healthy, some fundamental principles should be brought in mind.
Firstly, it is very important for us to keep a balanced diet and maintain regular eating habits. In addition, we’d better work out frequently to build up our body and character. Besides, we have to avoid too much work or study pressure. Getting too tired all the time may definitely weaken our defense system, making us get sick easily.
In conclusion, let’s take action and make a promise to lead healthy lives!
Thank you!
第二节
【思路点拨】 文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了高中生萨拉对烘焙充满热情,她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获得实践经验,她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位,出售自制的曲奇和蛋糕。一天,她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的长椅上陷入沉思。萨拉给老人端来一杯茶和一块巧克力蛋糕,并开始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人,退休前是一名烘焙师,自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居,来公园是她躲避孤独的方式。萨拉倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事,内心深受触动。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“萨拉决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知,第一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系,并且随着对话和互动更加频繁,两人之间的关系进一步深化。
②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移,她们难以置信的友谊在公园引起了注意。”可知,第二段可描写萨拉的善举引发了人们的关注,越来越多的人付出爱心,关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人。还可以描写萨拉的烘焙能力得到大家的认可,最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。
2.续写线索:萨拉请威尔逊夫人吃甜点—两人聊天—萨拉安慰威尔逊夫人—威尔逊夫人的悲伤逐渐消除—威尔逊夫人分享烘焙经验—威尔逊夫人得到更多关爱—萨拉最终开了烘焙店。
One possible version:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs Wilson, she would treat Mrs Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs Wilson feel she was cared about. Influenced by Sarah’s kindness, Mrs Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Sarah’s desserts, Mrs Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream.
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness. Assisted by Mrs Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story.Period Five Writing

Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a middle school student. I’d like to share my opinions about a healthy lifestyle according to my own experience.
I used to eat junk food and snacks between classes, so that I was overweight. I felt upset and easily became out of breath while running, which had a bad effect on my study and life. Therefore, I determined to make some changes. First of all, I began to have a balanced diet, eating more fruit and vegetables instead of junk food. What’s more, I often took enough exercise after school, playing basketball or football with my friends. Meanwhile, I always tried to keep a good mood. With a lot of efforts, I lost weight and felt better about myself. Now, I have a healthy lifestyle and make much more progress in my studies.
I’m convinced that only when you realise the importance of a healthy lifestyle can you make changes and live happily. Let’s get rid of bad habits and enjoy a good lifestyle.
Best wishes!

This is going to sound weird, but I want you to look closely for a moment at your thumbs. See how they bend flexibly forwards as well as back. The human thumb is not just a device for giving the thumbs-up sign or for picking up dropped keys. It is also one of the most efficient and sensitive tools in existence for determining the ripeness of fruit.
However, most of us don’t use them that way anymore. One of the most striking things about eating in the modern world is that we act as if we were sense-blind. Our noses can distinguish fresh milk from sour milk, and yet we prefer to look at the use-by date rather than sniff. Senses, wrote the late anthropologist Jack Goody, are “our windows on the world” —the main tools through which humans acquire information about our environments.
But today, we have yielded many of the functions of our own senses to the modern food industry—which suits that industry just fine. A survey of 7,000 young people in 2011 found that most of them would be hypothetically (假设地) prepared to give up their sense of smell if it meant that they could keep their laptop or phone.
In reality, it is not easy to live without a sense of smell. According to the survey data produced by Fifth Sense, more than half of the respondents having smell loss said that cooking had become a source of stress and anxiety because they could no longer experience the joy of trying new recipes, and could not easily tell when something was burned, which even increases feelings of loneliness and depression and leads to the breakdown of relationships.
No human activity is more multi-sensory than eating, but to eat in the modern world is often to eat in a state of profound sensory disengagement. We order groceries on a computer, or takeaways on a phone, and they arrive wrapped in plastic, so that we can neither smell them nor see them before we take the first mouthful.
( )1.In which way we mostly don’t use our thumbs according to the author
A.Squeeze a fig(无花果).
B.Push a button.
C.Hold a fork.
D.Pick a key.
( )2.Why does the author mention the survey in 2011
A.To show the addiction to the Internet.
B.To focus on the senseless young people.
C.To highlight the ignorance about senses.
D.To introduce a popular and modern lifestyle.
( )3.What does the Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A.Daily troubles of sense loss.
B.An uneasy world without senses.
C.Mental concerns about sense loss.
D.The robbed pleasure of cooking food.
( )4.What makes people lose sensory connection with food
A.A fast-paced modern lifestyle.
B.Lessening interests about food.
C.The development of computers.
D.The convenient packaging technology.

Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 1. . “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr Beth Abramson.
Get eight hours of sleep
“2. ,” says Dr Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation(发炎) and glucose levels. These factors can all have an impact on heart health.
3.
“We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” says Abramson. “Volunteering gets you out and creates a social network.” Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2020 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack.
Avoid polluted air
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in pollutants may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have other cardiovascular risks, such as high blood pressure. 4. .
Eat breakfast
A recent study found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost twice more likely to have heart disease six years later than those consuming a substantial morning meal. One possible reason, “If you eat a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson.“5. .”

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。
Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colourful home-made cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favourite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out.
Paragraph 2:
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park.

Dear fellow students,
I'm Li Hua. It's my great privilege to deliver a speech
themed on leading a healthy life.
As we all know, health is far more important than wealth
and wisdom. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and
achieve what we hope for in our career. When it comes to
how to stay healthy, some fundamental principles should be
brought in mind.
Firstly, it is very important for us to keep a balanced diet
and maintain regular eating habits. In addition, we'd better
work out frequently to build up our body and character.
Besides, we have to avoid too much work or study pressure.
Getting too tired all the time may definitely weaken our defense
system, making us get sick easily.
In conclusion, let's take action and make a promise to lead
healthy lives!
Thank you!
第二节 读后续写
[2024·江苏盐城三校高二期中联考]
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。
Sarah, a high school student, had a great passion for
baking. With her parents' support, Sarah dreamed of opening
her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into
a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her
skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a
small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with
families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her
creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colourful home-made
cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts' smell.
On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was
carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her
attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a
bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed
lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the
woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the
world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided
to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a
generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favourite, and
approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a
warm, inviting smile. The woman's face lit up as she accepted
the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven't had such a delicious treat
since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled
with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her
face.
A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The
woman introduced herself as Mrs Wilson, who had been a
baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a
week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park
were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home.
Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman's
story.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out.________________________
Paragraph 2:
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the
park.___________________________________________________________________
【思路点拨】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生萨拉对烘焙充
满热情，她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获
得实践经验，她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位，出售自制
的曲奇和蛋糕。一天，她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的
长椅上陷入沉思。萨拉给老人端来一杯茶和一块巧克力蛋糕，并开
始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人，退休前是一名烘焙
师，自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居，来公园是她躲避
孤独的方式。萨拉倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事，内心深受触动。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“萨拉决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知，第
一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系，并且随着对话和互动更加频
繁，两人之间的关系进一步深化。
②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，她们难以置信的友谊在公园
引起了注意。”可知，第二段可描写萨拉的善举引发了人们的关注，
越来越多的人付出爱心，关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人。还可以描写萨拉
的烘焙能力得到大家的认可，最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。
2.续写线索：萨拉请威尔逊夫人吃甜点—两人聊天—萨拉安慰威尔逊
夫人—威尔逊夫人的悲伤逐渐消除—威尔逊夫人分享烘焙经验—威
尔逊夫人得到更多关爱—萨拉最终开了烘焙店。
One possible version:
Sarah decided to help Mrs Wilson out. Every Saturday, as
Sarah saw Mrs Wilson, she would treat Mrs Wilson to her
desserts generously and chat with Mrs Wilson in order to
comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs Wilson feel she
was cared about. Influenced by Sarah's kindness，Mrs Wilson
gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Sarah's
desserts, Mrs Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable
baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered
her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah's dream.
Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the
park. Sarah's small table was not merely a place to buy desserts;
it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs Wilson,
once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a
group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of
loneliness. Assisted by Mrs Wilson, the small table has grown
into a shop. Sarah's bakery has been on the up and up with a
constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the
lovely smell and the moving story.
