W: Actually, I really need to concentrate on studies this year. If I want to get into the education program, I will have to prove that I am serious about being responsible. It's not about the money. I don’t get paid much considering all of the hours I put in.
M: Well, it's a pity that you’re going to miss the concert.

Our first workshop is called Adjusting. In this workshop, we will introduce you to what is necessary for academic success. As you might expect, we’re targeting first-year students with this offering.
Getting Organized follows on from the first workshop. Getting Organized is catering to a broader crowd, which includes all undergraduates and postgraduates.
Next is a workshop called Communicating. The way people interact here may be quite different to what you’re used to, especially if you come from abroad. We'll cover an area that many foreign students struggle with——how to talk with teachers and other staff.
The Anxiety workshop is held later on in the year and deals with something you will all be familiar with——the nerves and anxiety that come when exams are approaching.
Finally, we have the Motivation workshop. The big topic here is how to stay on target and motivated during long-term research projects. This workshop is strictly for research students.
Well, that’s it, thanks for your time.

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句可知,冰山断裂与气候变化无关,而冰山的大小是难以想象的。这说明冰山断裂在于自身太庞大。
25. 答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前的From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process可知,冰架的边缘不时会断裂,这是一个自然的过程。因此画线词与B项意思最接近。
26. 答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,现在是南极洲的夏天,海冰正在异常迅速地消失。去年,由于气温高于正常水平,南极洲创造了有史以来海冰最少的纪录。科学家们认为南极洲的海冰今年可能再次创下新低。这说明科学家们对南极海冰的不断消失持担忧态度。
27. 答案：A
解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了南极冰山的裂冰现象。科学家认为冰山断裂与气候变化无关,而是与冰山的大小息息相关。故A项适合作为本文的标题。
28. 答案：C
解析：推断题。根据文章第一段You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling (泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.及第二段第三句It will just be a random passer—by jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S.N.C.F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France.可知,旅客在赶车乘车时都是十分匆忙,而随意的一个行人,都可以享受在火车站放置的钢琴旁演奏的乐趣,因此,铁路公司这么做是为了缓解旅客紧张的心情。故D项正确。A项,“为了给Yamaha的产品做广告”。B项,“为了使站台更具有吸引力”。C项,“为了帮助街头艺术家谋生”。文中均未提及。故正确答案为D。
29. 答案：B
解析：主旨题。根据文章第四段第二句The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies.以及第四段倒数第一句It drew nearly 900 entries.可知,人们很喜欢放置在火车站的钢琴,很多人都去弹过,举办的“Your Turn to Play”的比赛也很受欢迎,因此,大家很喜欢这个创意,这些钢琴很受欢迎。故B项正确。A项,“这场比赛被证明是成功的”。文章第四段提及“Your Turn to Play”这一比赛是为了突显这些钢琴的受欢迎,侧重点并不在比赛上。故A项错误。C项,“火车站很拥挤”。文章第四段并没有描述火车站的拥挤。故C项错误。D项,“每个人都能成为一个业余音乐家”。文章第四段并未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为B。
30. 答案：D
解析：推断题。根据划线词所在句中None of the instruments以及or even merely damaged 可知,没有一件钢琴受损,相反,根据倒数第二段最后一句 They are shared and respected by all. 可知,人们很爱惜钢琴,也不据为己有。故钢琴没有被人故意损坏。故D项正确。A项,“被仔细挑选”。文中未提及。故A项错误。B项,“被经常检查”。根据文章第三段第一句中Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month or two可知,Yamaha公司每隔一两个月会对乐器进行一次调试。故B项错误。C项,“被提前预定”。文中未提及。故C项错误。故正确答案为D。
31. 答案：A
解析：主旨题。根据文章第一段You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling (泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.及第二段第一句But at least, if you're in France, someone may be playing the piano for you.可知,乘客在乘车时总是十分匆忙,很多人也会错过火车,但是铁路公司通过在车站放置钢琴供旅客演奏和倾听,以此来缓解旅客的焦虑,很受游客的欢迎。因此,即使游客没赶上火车,也能演奏或者倾听钢琴曲。故A项正确。B项,“记忆中的声音景观”。文中并未提及。故B项错误。C项,“钢琴在法国(人)生活中的角色”。文章描写的是法国的火车站通过在车站放置钢琴来缓解旅客的紧张心情,并未提及钢琴在法国(人)生活中扮演的角色。故C项错误。D项,“有钢琴酒吧的火车”。文中并未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为A。
32. 答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段的“I lost hair from all over my head, especially on the top where I had a huge bald spot.’’以及“I called Tonya and told her what happened to my hair with tears.”可知,作者开始脱发,尤其是头顶位置最严重,为此,她向朋友哭诉,由此可知,作者的心情是担惊受怕的。
33. 答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中丈夫的话“Baby, just wear your hair, I like your natural hair.”以及第五段中母亲的话“Cassie I love your natural look. I get to see how beautiful you are.”可知,作者的丈夫和母亲都不赞成她戴假发,在他们的眼里,作者真实的模样是最美的,由此可推知,作者在听取了亲人的想法后,决定放弃假发。
34. 答案：A

第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
答案：36—40：FEDAG
解析：36.依据上一句可知,很多人认为创造力只属于艺术家、作家或舞蹈家,后面建议我们如何培养创造力,由此可推断出本句是讲每个人都有创造力。
37.本段主要讲要改变我们固有的思维模式,关键词是patterns,故E项符合语境。
38.本段主要讲述的是尝试做一些改变,D项的建议正是符合这个意义;且D项"If you... under a tree"在句式上与上一句对应。
39.空处是本段的主题句,通读本段可知,仅仅有想法是不够的,还应该付诸行动,让想法成为现实,故选A项。
40.根据下文中的"The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action"可知,有人只是想一想,而有的人不但想还去做,故选G项。

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

解析：56.plan to do sth为固定搭配, 意为"做某事的计划", 此空应填动词, 表示"促进", 故填further。
57.分析句子结构可知, 该空为定语从句的谓语。由时间状语in my life和语境可知, 该空应用现在完成时, 表示作者做过的决定, 故填have made。

59.was为系动词, 后面用形容词作表语, 主语为I, 表示"某人感到惊讶的", 应用形容词amazed, 故填amazed。

61.分析句子结构可知, 逗号后的分句为非限制性定语从句, 先行词为逗号前的整个句子, 用关系代词which。故填which。
62.realised为主句谓语动词, 是过去式, that引导的宾语从句也应用一般过去时, 故填was。
63.此处用it作形式主语, 真正的主语是to get familiar with the environment, 故填it。

第二节 (满分25分)
参考答案：
Paragraph 1:
"What is the matter now " asked his wife. "I just can't remember why I come back and where I am supposed to be going on such a hot summer day," replied the professor. However, the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children. Sensing something wrong, Mrs Smith didn't believe his words, because whenever he told a lie, he would usually blink his eyes quickly. "Tell me the truth," ordered his wife. "As you told me, I didn't forget where I put the name of that town, but I forgot the station where I left our children!" whispered the professor, his voice trembling. "What a bad memory!" shouted the wife.
Paragraph 2:
Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened. A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor's cell phone began to ring. His friend, whose patience had worn thin, phoned to complain. The professor apologized, got into his car and drove away, leaving behind a bunch of people outside the house. Being afraid that he would make matters worse again, Mrs Smith decided to follow him, who then called a taxi. By the time she caught up with her husband, the children were already back home safe and sound.博爱县2023-2024学年高三上学期10月月考

On January 22, a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf. Scientists say the iceberg was expected to break off and the event isn't connected to climate change. But the size of the iceberg is hard to imagine.
The iceberg, known as "A81", is extremely large. It covers an area of about 600 square miles(1,550 square kilometers).
Antarctica, the world's fifth largest continent, is covered with a layer of ice and snow that's roughly 1.2 miles(1.9 kilometers) thick. As snow falls, it piles up in the center of Antarctica in a huge layer of ice. Over time, the weight of this ice and snow creates slowly moving rivers of ice called glaciers, which push out towards the sea.
When the glaciers reach the sea, they slowly push out beyond the edge of the land, forming huge "ice shelves". These are massive sections of ice that spread out over the sea, floating on the water below. Antarctica's largest ice shelf, the Ross Ice Shelf, is about the size of France.
From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process, called "calving". Though calving events are a normal part of the ice shelf in Antarctica, one expert describes huge calving events like this one as "spectacular".
Unlike an ice shelf, sea ice isn't attached to Antarctica's land. It's a layer of ice that floats on the surface of the sea. The sea ice is there year-round. It grows larger in the cold winters, and smaller as it begins to melt in the summers.
It's now summer in Antarctica, and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly. Last year, with temperatures warmer than normal, Antarctica set a record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded. Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice could set a new record low again this year.
24. Why have a lot of icebergs broken off from Antarctica in recent years
A. Because of climate change. B. Because of human activities.
C. Because of their extremely big size. D. Because of the amount of iceberg.
25. What does the underlined word “calving” probably refer to in paragraph 5
A. Giving birth. B. Breaking off.
C. Coming together. D. Cutting down.
26. What is the scientists' attitude towards the changes of sea ice in Antarctica
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
27. What is probably the best title of this text
A. Massive Iceberg Breaks from Antarctica
B. Scientists Say the Iceberg Was to Break Off
C. Antarctica's Sea Ice Could Set a New Record
D. The Sea Ice Disappears "Unusually" Rapidly

You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling(泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.
But at least, if you’re in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won’t be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be a random passer-by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, S.N.C.F., has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to play, and travelers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.
Gares & Connexions, the S.N.C.F. division that manages its stations, rents the instruments from the producer, Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit videos of themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.
Isn’t the railroad company taking a big chance Apparently not: “None of the instruments has been vandalized to this day, or even merely damaged,” said Claire Foumon, a spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. “They are shared and respected by all.”
So if you miss a train in Paris; Bordeaux or Marseille one day, perhaps someone will be playing a favorite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you’ll sit down and play your annoyance away yourself.
28. Why did Gares & Connexions fix pianos in railway stations
A.To advertise Yamaha’s products. B.To make stations more attractive.
C.To let travelers have a relaxing trip. D.To help street artists make a living.
29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A.The contest has proved a hit.
B.The pianos are very popular.
C.Railway stations are crowded.
D.Everyone can be an amateur musician.
30. What does the underlined word “vandalized” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Selected carefully. B.Checked regularly.
C.Reserved in advance. D.Destroyed on purpose.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A.Miss a train yet catch a tune B.A soundscape in the memory
C.The role of piano in French life D.An amazing train with a piano bar

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。
A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes—even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, " If John didn't have his head tied on, he would forget that too!" Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn't that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children , he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor's wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
"Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town."
"What You forgot the name Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I'll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don't forget where you put it."
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.
Paragraph 1 :
"What is the matter now " asked his wife.

Paragraph 2 :
