When 19-year old Alice Dickinson found out her father had cancer, her 1 was a little different than you might expect. To honor her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love, 2 books for kids with cancer.“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly 3 and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sadness rather than letting it 4 me.”“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad 5 cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to 6 a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense ofsympathy and desire to help others. I wanted to help 7 . They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”Using the 8 she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Alice has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her online wishlist. Alice spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into her car. “It was such a unique experience to know people had carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to 9 them to my cause.”The project has seen a huge 10 , with For Love donating over 15,000 books and being widely recognized by the media.1．A．suffering B．explanation C．response D．treatment 2．A．writing B．promoting C．reading D．collecting 3．A．appropriate B．incredible C．familiar D．immediate 4．A．excuse B．consume C．dismiss D．touch5．A．throw off B．keep from C．look into D．go through 6．A．evaluate B．develop C．regain D．provide7．A．kids B．neighbors C．friends D．parents3．A．credit B．interest C．awards D．tips9．A．gift B．lend C．submit D．mail10．A．market B．profit C．success D．demand第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

Earlier work at Yale University and the University of Florida has also shown that people's mood affects the activation of gene s that fight disease.But does happiness lead to good 4 , or is it the other way around? After all, it could be that people who have strong immune systems 5 have higher levels of other mood-improving brain chemicals as well.Here is a possible evolutionary 6 . Humans evolve d as social creature s that cooperate in groups to 7 food and protect themselves from wild animals. We were happier with a(n)8network of friends and family because this improved our chances of survival. But closely socializing groups are also breeding grounds for respiratory(呼吸的) 9 such as flu and colds, so we would have needed to increase the activity of the genes that fight these diseases.For those who were10 from society, however, infectious disease was less of a problem, and genes that help recover from physical injury may have been prioritize d instead of the ones that fight disease.1.

ASome are attracted to museums by the art and the culture－but if that isn’t enough,there is always the strange!Cancún Underwater MuseumNo need to hold your breath to see this one.The Cancún Underwater Museum is,as the name suggests,underwater.More than500sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature.Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.Omaka Aviation Heritage CentreWith great attention to detail,New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars.Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson,who helped create the set designs with his team.Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.Tenement MuseumAt New York’s Tenement Museum,visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the1860s through to the1980s.The museum opened in1992and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms,where costumed‘residents’enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period－leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.Cupnoodles MuseumThe Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama,Japan,offers a treat:exhibits can be not only admired,but eaten.Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop,refining creations with their favourite ingredients.While doing so,one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.1.What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?A.The strange name.B.The number of sculptures.C.Works about art and nature.D.Ways of visiting it.2.Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?A.Cancún Underwater Museum.B.Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.C.Tenement Museum.D.Cupnoodles Museum.3.What do the four museums have in common?A.They are about art and history.B.They display aircraft from world wars.C.They have unusual features.D.They record immigrants’daily lives.BElon Musk is a businessman,inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly,one of the leading figures in the world of technology.Musk was born in Pretoria,South Africa in1971.At the age of12,he taught himself how to programme computers.He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts.After this,he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University.However,he dropped out to pursue his interest in startups and technology.He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company.In 2001Musk began meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune,Musk founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles.It was the first privately owned company to do so.In2012,the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station.Musk also received contracts from NASA,thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible and affordable.Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car.Musk started a company and became the CEO in2008.The company is named after Nicolai Tesla,the Serbian-American inventor and physicist,who is best known for designing the AC electrical system.The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars.Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations?By creating opportunities to explore new planets,Musk believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth,there would be the potential for the human race to continue elsewhere.On Earth,Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable,environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.4.What can we learn about Musk?A.He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at12.B.He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics.C.He received government support to found the space company.D.He named his company after a well-known scientist.5.According to the author,what event was historic in Musk’s career?A.Getting achievements in arts.B.Founding an online payment site.C.Receiving contracts from NASA.D.Becoming CEO of two companies.6.What is Musk’s motivation for his innovations?A.To expand human reach and protect the earth.B.To stimulate people’s curiosity about space.C.To realize his dream of becoming a leading figure.D.To make more profit and set up more companies.7.Which of the following best describes Musk?A.Gifted and humorous.B.Curious and honest.C.Generous and considerate.D.Creative and responsible.CThough they may not know it,about half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by corals.And with climate change threatening coral’s survival,marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have seemed impossible.“We wanted to get into a time machine,go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere,before we started exploiting,polluting and killing them,”Sala said.The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in2009.The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean,to see if the almost untouched reefs held any clues to bringing damaged reefs in other parts of the ocean back to health.“The bottom was covered by thriving coral.Vivid colors surrounded me－purples,reds, oranges,yellows and greens.It was so beautiful,”Sala said.His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati.The government took steps to protect the waters from fishing.But between2015and2016,record8.What seemingly impossible goal does Sala have?cating the public to protect the ecosystems.B.Calling on people to actively respond to climate change.C.Going to old days when corals were in healthy condition.D.Leading an expedition to the South Pacific Ocean.9.What does the underlined word“This”in paragraph6refer to?A.The bad news.B.The second diving.C.The reef’s restoration.D.The cheerful mood.10.What can we infer about Caribbean from Sala’s words?A.There is abundant fish in its ocean.B.Algae lie thick over corals there.C.Global warming does little harm to its marine life.D.Corals come back to life thanks to government’s efforts.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Kiribati—A Country of BiodiversityB.A Scientist’s Love for DivingC.The Coral Reef Restored ItselfD.Ocean Warming Bothered GovernmentD“Practice makes perfect”is a very popular expression.However,can we take this saying literally?Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least10,000hours,they will reach “perfection”,or become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his2008best selling book,Outliers:The Story of Success.He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent,they also clearly put in over10,000hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson,who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly,Ericsson stated that10,000hours was an average figure.Some people needed far fewer than10,000hours,and others many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough;the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of“deliberate practice”,which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26%of reaching an expert level.Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority,which is especially evident in sports.IQ,personality,attitude,and starting age are decisive,too.But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success,which also relies on social and environmental factors.In conclusion,practice may not make perfect,but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson’s research,here are some tips on how to practise effectively:be motivated;make specific and realistic goals;work outside your comfort zone;be consistent and persistent;and get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something,remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions.12.How did Gladwell support his idea?A.By listing numbers.B.By using examples.C.By interviewing famous people.D.By mentioning other researchers.13.Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with?A.Practice alone is far from enough.B.10,000hours of practice leads to success.C.Practice hours vary from person to person.D.Deliberate practice is much more effective.14.What does paragraph4mainly talk about?A.The role of practice.B.Factors in creating experts.C.The importance of natural talent.D.Warnings for experts.15.What is the author’s attitude to the idea“Practice makes perfect”?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届高三英语期末模拟试题3第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AReading has been in decline for years.One of the reasons for the decline in book sales is the leaps and bounds in technology.Why do you buy a book when you can conveniently buy audiobooks(有声读物) instead?Here are4of the best audiobooks you can find.The Power of NowPublished in2000,The Power of Now explains a journey—a journey that encourages you to dismiss your analytical(分析的)mind and set aside yourself as well.The author,Eckhart Tolle,guides you through these transitions with easy words and phrases.The purpose of this book is to help you pay more attention to the current moment—the“now”.The AlchemistIt talks about the journey of a boy named Santiago who travels from Spain to Egypt in search of riches.Along the way,he meets three characters,a woman,a man who thinks he’s a king and the alchemist(炼金术士).These characters help guide Santiago to his goal,but over time that goal changes.It moves away from worldly riches to something deeper and more meaningful.The Power of HabitWritten by Charles Duhigg,it talks all about the power behind habits using various cases and plots to present Duhigg’s points.In the book,Duhigg turns complex systems and methods into easily digestible stories that people and businesses can relate to.OutliersWritten by Malcolm Gladwell,this book has popularized the idea that practising10,000hours in total will make you an expert in that area.It also covers other aspects about what many of today’s great people do in their daily life and how they have become successful in their own field.1.Why did Eckhart Tolle write The Power of Now?A.To encourage people to travel.B.To tell people to focus on the present.C.To meet different people’s curiosity.D.To give advice to the businessman.2.What did Santiago pursue during his journey at first?A.Wealth.B.Fame.C.Wisdom.D.Friendship.3.Which of the books talks about the power of practice?A.The Power of Now.B.Outliers.C.The Power of Habit.D.The Alchemist.BI once knew a high school teacher who made,in my mind,a curious comment.Referring to a naughty student,he remarked,with a tone of gloomy resignation,“People don’t change.”I knew the kid well.He was what one would call a“juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”.But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids,what was the point of teaching?My own son,Alyosha,growing up,was athletic,energetic,and occasionally hard to handle.But he never showed the least interest in tools,or working with his hands in any way.The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush.I recall one day,as I fussed under the car,calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(活动扳手).He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子).“No,”I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place.“Pliers.”He went back into the garage and returned with a bar.“No, no,”I corrected him.“The adjustable wrench!For loosening a nut.”To which,in his own defence,he exclaimed,“Well,I don’t know!”Years passed.And then,one day,well into his20s,he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology.I nodded approvingly,but already knew that it was a challenging field,full of moving parts,tools,and dreaded maths.During his period in Coast Guard Technical School,I thought about him daily,wondering what the outcome would be.I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen.The phone did ring,but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar.Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my son,Alyosha,standing at attention and staring dead ahead,glanced at me.“You want me to help you,Dad?”he said.“Always,”I answered,“but not this time.”Yeah,people do change.And,in my experience,it’s usually something to see.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?A.He approves of it.B.He argues against it.C.He is interested in it.D.He is uncertain about it.5.The examples in Paragraph2are used to show Alyosha.cked team spiritB.knew little about mechanicsC.had a bad relationship with his dadD.was willing to learn any handwork6.According to the author,a technical school.A.was a correct choice for Alyosha to makeB.might satisfy Alyosha’s interest in mechanicsC.was suitable for Alyosha to attendD.would be a challenge for Alyosha7.Why was the author ready to get the phone call from his son?A.He missed his son very much.B.He had an appointment with his son.C.He expected good news about his son.D.He thought his son would quit school.CAll across the nation,in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms,wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike,who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic pet ownership:In Connecticut a55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an80-year-old man was attacked by a200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a34-year-old man was strangled(勒死)to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic(动物传染的)diseases.Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time,so having a backup population is a good idea.But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund say that captive breeding(圈养)of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial,conservation,or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That,in turn,results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.8.Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph1?A.Contradictory.B.Ridiculous.C.Controversial.D.Universal.9.Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the passage?A.To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.B.To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.C.To prove humans cannot be infected by animal diseases.D.To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic pet ownership in the USA.10.What’s the main idea of Paragraph3?A.The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.B.Worries about the endangered wild animals.C.The differences between people who keep exotic pets.D.The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.11.The last paragraph of the passage is intended to.A.introduce some animal protection groupsB.argue against keeping exotic animals in captivityC.warn people of the danger of animals being caughtD.prove captive breeding can encourage exotic pet businessDCars powered by batteries made from seawater and planes fueled by ammonia(氨)will become common over the next10years,Bill David,a professor of materials chemistry has predicted.Most batteries for electric cars and smartphones are powered by lithium(锂),which has to be mined, but David thinks that they will be overtaken by batteries made from sodium(钠),which can be obtained from seawater and salt.The future of air travel could also be greener thanks to biofuels.David said:“We are developing an ammonia-based plane.In principle,we can improve on an Airbus A320or a Boeing787and essentially replace jet fuel with ammonia.”David said that batteries could,at first,combine sodium and lithium,as sodium was not quite as powerful as lithium but is much more sufficient.“It’s not quite perfect in terms of performance,so we need both,”David said.“Sodium is on the way up and most electric cars have had a combination of lithium and sodium batteries in them.My estimate is that by2040I would not be surprised if there were ten times more sodium batteries than lithium ones,maybe even100times.”The first generation of mass-produced sodium batteries has been used for an electric car for the first time.Sodium will not be the final answer to eco-friendly air travel,however,which is why David’s team is looking into the use of ammonia.Some companies are looking into whether jet fuel can be replaced with hydrogen,but David sees ammonia as more sustainable.He said:“If you do the sums,then at500mph youget the same amount of power as jet fuel,but just40per cent of the range.However,even with the range hit,a787could still go from London to New York.”However,a report from the Royal Society on net-zero aviation,which David co-wrote,says that replacing jet fuel with biofuel would require half of the agricultural land in the UK.12.What is an advantage of sodium batteries?A.Their performance is easy to improve.B.Their raw material is easily accessible.C.They are widely applied to various vehicles.D.They are more powerful than other batteries.13.According to David,which is ideal for future electric cars?A.Lithium battery.B.Sodium battery.C.Hydrogen fuel.D.Ammonia fuel.14.What is Paragraph5mainly about?A.Hydrogen casts a light on jet fuel market.B.Electric car makers favour sodium batteries.C.Ammonia features sustainability and practicability.panies have mass-produced recycled batteries.15.What’s David’s attitude to replacing jet fuel with biofuel?A.Tolerant.B.Unclear.C.Cautious.D.Doubtful.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Responsibility is an admirable character that makes life better for everyone around you.It isn’t only about doing your homework or feeding the dog.16Showing responsibility isn’t always easy,but practising and making an effort will help you improve over time.Think of the consequences before speaking or acting.Bad decisions often lead to a lot of new problems.Many times,you can avoid these problems by thinking about what you’re about to do before you go through with it.Irresponsible people often make decisions without realizing how they are affecting others.17Pause and reflect on your actions to see what you can do better.Take a time out to look back on what you have said or done,especially after a difficult decision.18Consider what goes right,what goes wrong,and what you can do differently next e what you learn to become wiser and more responsible.19If you’re honest,people will believe you are a responsible person.Try to be as honest as possible.Lying leads to deeper holes in the long run,so admit when you do something wrong.This can be very tough to do at times,but it’s something you can handle when you’re a responsible person.Apologize for any mistake you make.No one is perfect,and no matter how responsible you try to be, you might mess up sometimes.20If you hurt someone,tell them you are sorry and will do better next time.A.Tell the truth to be honest with others.B.Instead of hiding your mistakes,own them.C.Find solutions for problems instead of blaming others.D.It’s also about making proper choices and doing what is right.E.By reflecting,you give yourself a chance to make better decisions.F.Avoid big lies hurting one’s feelings if you want people to trust you.G.Most decisions affect other people,so be responsible for your choices.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)On January20,Nome was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.Worse still,
