B.Why it chooses to buy first-class tickets.C.How it helps pay for the flight. D.Why it uses other payment systems 29.What does the underlined word “harnessing”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Believing. B.Using. C.Judging. D.Giving.30.What does Deutsche Telekom's CEO Tim Hoettges assume?A.Phone apps have brought serious problems. B.The future of humans is worth considering. C.AI has both advantages and disadvantages. D.The death of phone apps is unstoppable.31.Which is the most suitable title for the passage?A.AI Could Replace the Apps on Your PhoneB.AI Is Based on Technology Available TodayC.AI Enables Apps to Give Better PerformanceD.AI May Read Your Mind and Interact with YouDSpeed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days,and the volume of pages is shocking.The problem generated by speed reading,though,can be summarized with the following quote from the witty(诙谐的)director Woody Allen:“This is how I read War and Peace.It was about Russia.”A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book.I prefer discussing the“way of reading”and not only the speed.Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading?You can do a very short exercise—which books haveyou read,let's say,two years ago?What were they about?Can you recall five ideas from each of them?In most cases,the answer is“No”.So,what difference does it make if we read fast or slow?In today's busy times,I suggest“Mindful Reading”,which includes two simple principles.The first is, of course,being mindful.The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness.I read to realise.I realise to comprehend.I comprehend to make use of.It obliges(迫使 )me to slow down when I don't grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence.And thus, poetry requires a slow pace,time foran internal “echo”of rhyme in the soul for appreciatingthe beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot.But all types of speed have one thing in common:mindfulness.And the other principle:Post Lectio—Ratiocination.If we read for 60 minutes,and after closing the book,immediately go and do something else,we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it,something like a mental digestion.Whoever is not used to this can try at least 59/1 compared to 60/0:one minute to think and assimilate.Better,try five,or even better,ten minutes,or why not 30/30 minutes?With this mental exercise,we will not only remember ideas from books read,but wewill gain a much bigger benefit from their content.I hope you did not read this article too fast.英 语 第 5 页(共10页)32.Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1?A.To show the efficiency ofreading fast. B.To illustrate the problem of speed reading.C.To prove the director's ability to summarize. D.To stressthe importance of reading classics. 33.What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading?A.Fast reading ensures reading quality.B.Fast reading is superior to slow reading.C.Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality.D.Slow reading prevents us remembering the content.34.What does the first principle ofMindful Readinginvolve?A.Deep engagement. B.Quick comprehension.C.Excellent memory D.Wild imagination. 35.Whatdoes the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4?A.Take breaks to refresh their mind. B.Read mindfully without interruptions.C.Devote time to reflectingafter reading. D.Digest information while reading.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you ever look at yourself in the mirrorand not like what you see?Do you doubt your abilities at work or the value you add to your relationships?36 It's all too easy to focus on the negative aspects of ourselves,even though there are so many reasons to be proud of who we are.Here are some tips on how to feel better about yourself and begin your path to self-acceptance. Use the power ofpositive self-talk.Many of us don't realize how often throughout the day we put ourselves down.The more you tell yourself that you're not good enough,the more likely you are to believe it. 37 Practicing affirmations(肯定)regularly has demonstrated remarkable results. 38 It is often more difficult to address personal problems than it is to see solutions for other people.So,it is essential to reach out when you need help.Different types of coaches and therapists( 治 疗 师 )have trained for years to help you improve internal conditions. Set aside me-time.While being social is a crucial part of the human experience,balance is also necessary.We need time and space to be ourselves.“Me-time”can be anything you want it to be. 39 Spending time alone demonstrates self-care and gives you time to recharge your“social batteries”.It also helps you learn how to feel good by yourself without needing others.Like most things in life,self-confidence doesn't come without practice.Be gentle with yourself,butremember that you have the power to change for the better. 40 Our website cares about your journey to self-confidence,and we're here to help.英语第6页(共10页)A.Luckily,the opposite is also trueB.Seek help from a coach or therapist.C.We all have a limited capacity for interaction D.It's time to do whatever makes you feel good. E.Extend your thanks to your coach or therapist.F.Actually,many of us suffer from poor self-confidence.G.There are plenty of people out there to help you along the way.第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I told my husband that I wanted to learn the drums(架子鼓) .He was 41 ,understandably Because in our 35 years of

a few feet ahead.You find yourself eagerly searching for a cozy place to rest your weary head,but unfortunately,every door you knock on remains closed and every light in sight seems dimmed(变暗).This was precisely the unique experience my travel companions and I encountered during our unforgettable journey to Cuba this past April.We had ventured to Caibarin,a picturesque yet remote town known more for its charm than its accommodations.The night had fallen heavily,wrapping the town in a deep blanket of darkness.The streets,once lively in the daylight,were now entirely silent and empty.The occasional rustle of leaves in the faint breeze was the only sound breaking the long silence.Our headlights sliced through the blackness, casting long,wavering shadowsthat danced across the walls of closed businesses and shuttered windows.Frustration mounted as we continued our search.Each house we approached was met with the same unresponsive silence,leaving us increasingly disheartened.The streets seemed to mock(嘲笑)us,offering empty promises of hospitality(好客)and playing a cruel joke on our weary souls.Our hopes of finding a place to stay faded away as time ticked by.As the night air grew colder,uncertainty settled in,making the comforting thought of a warmbed and a safe place to spend the night feel like distant dreams.When the feeling of despair washed over us,a local man noticed us weary travelers desperately knockingon the door.“Excuse me,sir,”I clled out wearily,“do youknow of any guesthouses(招待所)withavailable rooms?We've been searching for hours and aredesperatefora place to stay.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。The local man approached us with a concerned look.With the local man guiding the way,we finally made it to the guesthousec liwbi64gun2 zsb ono00 10itt

Lack of support from local villagers.CIn the Deutsche Telekom booth at Mobile World Congress (MWC), I’m watching a generative AI tool construct a custom phone interface(界面) to help me book a flight in real time. It’s breathtaking, and almost too much to take in—but in a good way.The technology, currently called the T Phone, is the combined efforts of the German carrier and SanFrancisco-based artificial intelligence company Brain. AI.AI CEO Jerry Yue asks the device to book a flight from here in Barcelona to Los Angeles on March 12 for two people in first class. The phone pauses for a minute before pulling up a list of flights, arranged on the home screen orderly. Once Yue finds the best flight, he can pay for it using his mobile payment system of choice, without having to use another app or service.A little more than a year on from the release of ChatGPT, the 2024 edition of MWC is all about the promise of AI. Beyond the hype(炒作), some of the most interesting approaches involve integrating AI into devices and harnessing their computing power to do exciting new things—some of which are easier to comprehend than others.The T Phone concept is this: Instead of a phone that’s designed around apps, as we’re accustomed to, this phone uses generative Al to create a natural-feeling back and forth that 'll help you navigate a task. The device has an Al button on the side: that activates your AI assistant, which is waiting to spring into action and complete the task. Is it now our destiny to live in an app-free world? Tim Hoettges, Deutsche Telekom’s CEO, certainly thinks so. Speaking at MWC, he predicted the death of phone apps within the next five to 10 years. His reasoning? AI is going to kill them.28. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the T phone?A. How it books a flight ticket.B. Why it chooses to buy first-class tickets.C. How it helps pay for the flight. D. Why it uses other payment systems.29. What does the underlined word “harnessing” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Believing.B. Using.C. Judging.D. Giving.30. What does Deutsche Telekom’s CEO Tim Hoettges assume?A. Phone apps have brought serious problems.B. The future of humans is worth considering.C. AI has both advantages and disadvantages.D. The death of phone apps is unstoppable.31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?A.AI Could Replace the Apps on Your PhoneB.AI Is Based on Technology Available TodayC.AI Enables Apps to Give Better PerformanceD.AI May Read Your Mind and Interact with YDSpeed reading has its benefits—it saves time where there is a lack of available hours or days, and the volume of pages is shocking. The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book.I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness.And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content.I hope you did not read this article too fast.32. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1?A. To show the efficiency of reading fast.B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading.C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize.D. To stress the importance of reading classics.33. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading?A. Fast reading ensures reading quality.B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality.D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content.34.What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve?A. Deep engagement.B. Quick comprehension.:C. Excellent memory.D. Wild imagination.35. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4?A. Take breaks to refresh their mind.B. Read mindfully without interruptions.C. Devote time to reflecting after reading.D. Digest information while reading.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and not like what you see?

The darkness envelops everything around you, making it hard to see more than a few feet ahead. You find yourself eagerly searching for a cozy place to rest your weary head, but unfortunately, every door you knock on remains closed and every light in sight seems dimmed(变暗). This was precisely the unique experience my travel companions and I encountered during our unforgettable journey to Cuba this past April.We had ventured to Caibarin, a picturesque yet remote town known more for its charm than its accommodations. The night had fallen heavily, wrapping the town in a deep blanket of darkness. The streets, once lively in the daylight, were now entirely silent and empty. The occasional rustle of leaves in the faint breeze was the only sound breaking the long silence. Our headlights sliced through the blackness, casting long, wavering shadows that danced across the walls of closed businesses and shuttered windows.Frustration mounted as we continued our search. Each house we approached was met with the same unresponsive silence, leaving us increasingly disheartened. The streets seemed to mock (嘲笑) us, offering empty promises of hospitality(好客) and playing a cruel joke on our weary souls. Our hopes of finding a place to stay faded away as time ticked by. As the night air grew colder, uncertainty settled in, making the comforting thought of a warm bed and a safe place to spend the night feel like distant dreams.When the feeling of despair washed over us, a local man noticed us weary travelers desperately knocking on the door. “Excuse me, sir,” I called out wearily, “do you know of any guesthouses (招待所) with available rooms? We’ve been searching for hours and are desperate for a place to stay.”注意: 续写词数应为150左右。The local man approached us with a concerned look. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With the local man guiding the way, we finally made it to the guesthouse. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________20242025学年第一学期期初高三质量监测英语答案第一部分 听力（共20小题，满分30分）1-5 BBCBC6-10 AACBA 11-15 ABCBA 16-20 CBACB第二部分 阅读（共两节，20小题，满分50分）21-25 BBDBC 26-30 DAABD31-35 ABCAC36-40 FABDG第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）41-45 CBABD 46-50 DCAAD 51-55 BCBAD第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）56. into 57. a 58. served 59.

Students of all grades participated enthusiastically in the cycling, some speeding through the course while others pedaling leisurely and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. Warmly embraced by students and teachers alike, the event was a huge success. Not only did students experience the joy of low-carbon travel firsthand but they were also inspired to take action in creating a greener future. 第二节（满分25分）One possible version:The local man approached us with a concerned look. His reaction reignited our nearly-extinguished spark of hope. Expectant but upset, we eagerly waited for his reply, eyes glued to him. Seemingly sensing our extreme nervousness, he gave us the answer we wanted in a warm and reassuring voice. It turned out that there was a simply-decorated yet clean and secure guesthouse just a few blocks away. “Follow me. I’ll be your guide.” Turning around, he led the head in front of our car. With the local man guiding the way, we finally made it to the guesthouse. Catching sight of the soft glow of light streaming out through its window, we sighed with relief after almost a century of exhausting search. Eyes moist with tears, I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to him, but he simply responded with a gentle smile. Urging us to enter the cozy guesthouse to have a rest, he bade farewell to us and disappeared into the darkness. Cold as it was outside, the local man’s kindness brought considerable warmth to us. 听力原文Text 1W: Will you go shopping with me?M: Come on.

Here are some ways to study and travel.First, study tours. Study tours take groups of people to different places. Tours often have a lot of different activities. Students visit interesting places and learn about subjects such as art and history. They let students travel with their teachers and classmates. Hope to sign a week before any holiday.Summer programs are also a good way for students to study at a great university. Many schools have summer programs, such as Oxford University and Harvard University. About this kind, sign up usually in May or June.Next, exchange programs. Exchange programs let students live and study in a different country. While on exchange, students usually study at a local school. They often live with host families. This helps students learn about daily life in the country. The registration time is in January.There are many other ways for students to travel and learn. Programs like Outward Bound let students enjoy nature while learning to be leaders. Groups like Toronto Brigantine let students live and work on a ship. All above sign up in our agency.
