You should try your best to create your own family library so that you and your family are always learning. "It is a great mistake to think that education is finished when young people leave school. Education is never finished even if you grow older," said Mrs Child in The Mother's Book. "Collecting a library of books in your home is really helpful to your family. ”
"What is really interesting about having so many books in your home is that a book you purchase has a chapter about the deeper knowledge of your favorite subject at school," said a university graduate. Researchers in a study tries to identify what parents do has an influence on how well their children do on standardized tests. One positive aspect they find is the availability of a large number of books at home. This has a stronger connection, especially when you read to your children every day. The more books your older kids have access to at home, the more likely they are just to be reading for fun, rather than having to wait for weekly trips to the library.
John Henry, one educated parent, said, "I have been homeschooling my children using the philosophy of A Thomas Jeffer son Education. This philosophy of learning is based on the reading of classic books. ” Clinton Fadiman said, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than before. " Classic books also make you smarter and wiser! The wisdom comes in the examples in the lives of the characters.
"It is within your power to guide your youth in their reading and to cultivate in their hearts a desire for good books. It is the most unfortunate if a person is not possessed with the desire for good reading. The reading habit, like charity, should begin at home," said Mrs Child.
8. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2
A. Kids don't need to go to the library any longer.
B. Parents should set a good example at home.
C. It's necessary to create a family library.
D. It's important to let kids pass standardized tests.
9. How does the author explain the effect of reading classic books at home in paragraph 3
A. By quoting others ’words. B. By questioning.
C. By imagination. D. By analyzing research data.
10. What can we learn from what Mrs Child said
A. East or west, home is best.
B. One is never too old to learn.
C. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
D. Charity is the soul rather than the virtues of hand.
11 What can be the best title for the text
A. Where to Store Your Favorite Books at Home
B. When to Read the Classic Books to Your Children
C. Which Is Better, a Home Library or a Public Library
D. Why Not Have Your Own Library of Books at Home
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在家里有一个属于自己的图书馆的好处。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句"What is really interesting about having so many books in your home is that a book you purchase has a chapter about the deeper knowledge of your favorite subject at school," said a university graduate. 一位大学毕业生说:“家里有这么多书的真正有趣之处在于,你买的书中有一章是关于你在学校最喜欢的学科的更深入的知识。”和The more books your older kids have access to at home, the more likely they are just to be reading for fun, rather than having to wait for weekly trips to the library.“你的大一点的孩子在家里能读到的书越多,他们就越有可能只是为了好玩而读书,而不是每周都要去图书馆。”由此可知,所以第二段主要是关于创建一个家庭图书馆是必要的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中John Henry, one educated parent, said, "I have been homeschooling my children using the philosophy of A Thomas Jeffer son Education. This philosophy of learning is based on the reading of classic books. ” Clinton Fadiman said, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than before. "约翰·亨利是一位受过良好教育的家长,他说:“我一直在用托马斯·杰斐逊式的教育哲学在家教育我的孩子。这种学习哲学是以阅读经典书籍为基础的。”克林顿法德曼(Clinton Fadiman)说,“当你重读一本经典著作时,你在书中看到的东西并不比以前多;你在自己身上看到的东西比以前多。”由此判断出,作者通过引用别人的话来解释第三段中在家阅读经典书籍的影响。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段"It is within your power to guide your youth in their reading and to cultivate in their hearts a desire for good books. It is the most unfortunate if a person is not possessed with the desire for good reading. The reading habit, like charity, should begin at home," said Mrs Child. “引导你的孩子读书,在他们心中培养对好书的渴望,这是你力所能及的事。” 如果一个人没有好好读书的欲望,那才是最不幸的。 阅读习惯,就像慈善一样,应该从家里开始。”查尔德太太说,”由此判断出,我们能从查尔德太太的话中学到活到老,学到老。故选B。
【11题详解】
标题判断题。根据第一段第一句You should try your best to create your own family library so that you and your family are always learning.“你应该尽你最大努力去建立你自己的家庭图书馆,这样你和你的家人就会一直在学习。”可知,这篇文章讲述的是在家里应该有一个属于自己的图书馆。所以D项Why Not Have Your Own Library of Books at Home (为什么不在家里拥有自己的图书馆呢 )为最佳主题。故选D。
D
Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence (Al) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.
Analyzing a patient's heart function on a cardiac MRI (心脏磁共振成像)scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London (UCL) showed an Al program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using Al to read them could save 54 clinician-days (临床天数)at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.
It is hoped that Al where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot dis- eases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.
Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis."
She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be 'super-human'—transforming clinical and research measurement precision."
Professor Alastair Denniston said, "Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis. ”
12. Which of the following can best describe this Al program
A. Time-consuming. B. Environmentally friendly.
C. Extremely unpractical. D. Labor-saving.
13. What is Charlotte Manisty's expectation of automated machine techniques
A. To treat eye disease faster and earlier.
B. To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately.
C. To combine manual with automated analysis.
D. To confirm heart structure and function.
14. What did Alastair Denniston say about Al
A. It would be super-human soon.
B. It couldn't completely replace expert doctors.
C. It would correct professionals' measurement errors.
D. It couldn't detect cancer as accurately as health professionals.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Al has many shortcomings in practice.
B. Al totally shows its superiority to human analysis.
C. Al can reduce medical errors arising from human factors.
D. Al can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍Al在医学上的运用。这篇文章主要讲述的是Al能像医生一样在更短的时间内诊断出心脏病。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.可知,这样就可以弥补医生的不足。由此可知,Al程序可以节省劳动力。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function.Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis.“领导UCL研究的夏洛特·曼尼斯蒂博士说:“心血管磁共振成像为评估心脏结构和功能提供了可比较的图像质量。自动化机器技术有可能改变这一现状,并完全提高效率和准确性,我们期待着进一步的研究,以证实人类分析的优越性。”由此可知,Charlotte Manisty对自动化机器技术的期望是“有效而准确地分析心脏病。”故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis.“但重要的是要注意,它并没有完全超过人类的专业诊断。”由此可知,Al不能完全取代专家医生。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence (Al) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.“测试表明,机器人诊断心脏问题的时间最短可达4秒。一份人工智能(Al)综述发现,机器人在诊断疾病方面的能力与医生不相上下。”可知,这篇文章讲述的是Al能像医生一样在更短的时间内诊断出心脏病。故选D。

37. has treated
38. as 39. patients
40. broken 41. the
42. is expected
43. impressive
44. eating 45. achievement
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇人物传记。文章介绍著名儿科专家Sheng Jinyun。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。此处doctor是先行词,指人,在后面的定语从句中作主语。故填who/that。
【37题详解】
考查现在完成时态。句意:1935年出生的盛锦云,是著名的小儿哮喘专家,迄今已治疗了约3万名哮喘患儿。此处Sheng Jinyun是句子主语,单数第三人称,再根据so far,可知句子用现在完成时态。故填has treated。

考查冠词。with the help of“在…...的帮助下”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意:在他们眼里,她在这个年纪应该过着平静的生活。句子主语she是单数第三人称形式,和expect之间是一种被动关系,且这里在讲述一个客观事实,所以句子用一般现在时态的被动语态。be expected to do sth “期待做某事”。故填is expected。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Sheng最令人难忘的经历之一发生在她50多岁的时候。此处experiences是名词,由形容词修饰,故填impressive。
【44题详解】
考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意:那天从早上7:45到晚上9:45,她看了146个病人,除了牛奶什么都不吃。此处句子主语She和eat之间是主动关系,是现在分词作状语。故填eating。

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右.
Three years ago. I was arranged to work for a few weeks as a dentist in a new dental clinic at Victor Harbor to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was rush driving to a new and unfamiliar clinic and getting used to the different rules and clinical environment.
In my worry and anxiety, and feeling a little unfamiliar in the new setting, I removed my three things: my wedding ring, a ring that belonged to my mother and one that was an anniversary gift from my husband. I wrapped them in a tissue(纸巾) and placed them beside my computer.
During my lunch break, I noticed the wrinkled tissue and thought that it didn’t look very neat and dropped it into the rubbish bin. I went about my duties and my day went on well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive and efficient. Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that I was missing my rings. I felt the heart in my body rose, my cheeks burning red. I went inside and tried to calm down. I felt sick to my stomach and I had that sinking feeling in my heart. I spent an hour or so making calls trying to follow the track of my rings. The first people I called was my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few contact numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic and she informed me that the bins had already been collected.
Heartbroken, I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my wedding ring and one of my most treasured rings my mother’s wedding ring. Had it not been for my carelessness, all this would not have happened. With great sorrow and regret, I just sat there rooted in my chair.
Paragraph 1:
After two hours or so, I received a most amazing phone call. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I decided to thank the wonderful person face to face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After two hours or so I received a most amazing phone call. This call was from another cleaner called Jerry, who was working in the rubbish station nearby. He told me that he accidentally found the three rings wrapped in the tissue when he was tidying the rubbish. So immediately, he ran to the nearest telephone booth to call the lady managing the cleaning services for the clinic. The lady told him of my losses and informed him of my telephone number. Thus, he rang me to my home in case of my anxiety.
I decided to thank the wonderful person face to face. I ran to my car in a hurry and drove directly to the dustbin station nearby my clinic, where the cleaner Jerry was waiting for me. I expressed my greatest thanks to him for his kindness and I did want to give him some money as my gift for his behavior. However, he refused my reward, saying that it was his duty and responsibility to give back the loss to the owners. Deeply moved, I thanked him again. At last, I got my treasured rings back happily.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。要求考生续写两段内容,150词左右。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,三年前,作者被安排到一个位于Victor Harbor的新的牙科诊所工作几周。第一天工作的时候,作者把自己的结婚戒指、一个原本属于母亲的戒指和丈夫送的作为周年礼物的戒指从手上摘下来,包在纸巾里并放在电脑旁边。午餐后休息的时候,作者看到那个皱皱的纸巾,以为是用过的,就把它扔到垃圾桶里了。作者在诊所度过了忙碌的一天,下班开车回家的时候,作者发现戒指丢了,心慌不已。赶忙联系诊所的领导,于是联系到了负责清洁工作的一位女士,她告诉作者垃圾桶已经清理完了。作者感到心碎,那些重要的戒指丢了。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:两个小时左右之后,我接到了一个十分令人惊奇的电话。故推测接下应该写:保洁员Jerry,一个在垃圾站工作的人员,在清理垃圾的时候无意间发现了这些戒指,并立刻联系负责诊所的清洁工作的女士,那位女士告诉了他我丢失戒指的事情并告诉了他我的电话号码。于是他打电话联系了我。第二段开头是:我决定面对面地感谢这位好心人。故推测接下来应该写:我开车前往诊所附件的垃圾站,保洁员Jerry正在那里等我。我十分感谢他的善意,并想给他一些钱作为报答。然而他拒绝了,说将丢失的物品还给失主是他的责任和义务。我被深深地感动了,并再一次谢谢他。最后,我开心地带着珍贵的戒指回家了。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,情节生动,内容完整,符合题目要求。范文中使用的一些词汇和句型值得我们学习。高级词汇/短语,如:accidentally、inform、in case of、face to face、express one’s thanks to sb.等;高级句型:定语从句。This call was from another cleaner called Jerry, who was working in the rubbish station nearby. 非谓语动词作状语。However, he refused my reward, saying that it was his duty and responsibility to give back the loss to the owners.海桂中学2023-2024学年度高二年级第一学期第三次月考

You should try your best to create your own family library so that you and your family are always learning. "It is a great mistake to think that education is finished when young people leave school. Education is never finished even if you grow older," said Mrs Child in The Mother's Book. "Collecting a library of books in your home is really helpful to your family. ”
"What is really interesting about having so many books in your home is that a book you purchase has a chapter about the deeper knowledge of your favorite subject at school," said a university graduate. Researchers in a study tries to identify what parents do has an influence on how well their children do on standardized tests. One positive aspect they find is the availability of a large number of books at home. This has a stronger connection, especially when you read to your children every day. The more books your older kids have access to at home, the more likely they are just to be reading for fun, rather than having to wait for weekly trips to the library.
John Henry, one educated parent, said, "I have been homeschooling my children using the philosophy of A Thomas Jeffer son Education. This philosophy of learning is based on the reading of classic books. ” Clinton Fadiman said, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than before. " Classic books also make you smarter and wiser! The wisdom comes in the examples in the lives of the characters.
"It is within your power to guide your youth in their reading and to cultivate in their hearts a desire for good books. It is the most unfortunate if a person is not possessed with the desire for good reading. The reading habit, like charity, should begin at home," said Mrs Child.
8. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2
A Kids don't need to go to the library any longer.
B. Parents should set a good example at home.
C. It's necessary to create a family library.
D. It's important to let kids pass standardized tests.
9. How does the author explain the effect of reading classic books at home in paragraph 3
A. By quoting others ’words. B. By questioning.
C. By imagination. D. By analyzing research data.
10. What can we learn from what Mrs Child said
A. East or west, home is best.
B. One is never too old to learn.
C. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
D. Charity is the soul, rather than the virtues of hand.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Where to Store Your Favorite Books at Home
B When to Read the Classic Books to Your Children
C. Which Is Better, a Home Library or a Public Library
D. Why Not Have Your Own Library of Books at Home
D
Tests have shown robots can diagnose heart problems in as little as four seconds, as a review of artificial intelligence (Al) finds machines are now as good at spotting illness as doctors.
Analyzing a patient's heart function on a cardiac MRI (心脏磁共振成像)scan currently takes doctors around 13 minutes. But a new trial by University College London (UCL) showed an Al program could read the scans in less time with equal accuracy. There are approximately 150,000 such scans performed in the UK each year, and researchers estimate that fully using Al to read them could save 54 clinician-days (临床天数)at each cardiac centre per year. So it can make up for the shortage of doctors.
It is hoped that Al where computer systems are able to learn from data to identify new patterns with minimal human intervention will transform medicine by helping doctors spot dis- eases such as heart disease and cancer faster and earlier. However, most scans are still read by specially trained doctors.
Dr Charlotte Manisty, who led the UCL research, said, "Cardiovascular MRI offers in- comparable image quality for assessing heart structure and function. However, current manual analysis remains basic and outdated. Automated machine techniques offer the potential to change this and completely improve efficiency and accuracy, and we look forward to further research that could confirm the superiority to human analysis."
She added, “Our dataset of patients with a range of heart disease who received scans enabled us to demonstrate that the greatest sources of measurement errors arise from human factors. This indicates that automated techniques are at least as good as humans, with the potential soon to be 'super-human'—transforming clinical and research measurement precision."
Professor Alastair Denniston said, "Within those handful of high-quality studies, we found that by deep learning Al could indeed detect disease ranging from cancer to eye disease as accurately as health professionals. But it's important to note that it did not absolutely exceed human professional diagnosis. ”
12. Which of the following can best describe this Al program
A. Time-consuming. B. Environmentally friendly.
C. Extremely unpractical. D. Labor-saving.
13. What is Charlotte Manisty's expectation of automated machine techniques
A. To treat eye disease faster and earlier.
B. To analyze heart disease efficiently and accurately.
C. To combine manual with automated analysis.
D. To confirm heart structure and function.
14. What did Alastair Denniston say about Al
A. It would be super-human soon.
B. It couldn't completely replace expert doctors.
C. It would correct professionals' measurement errors.
D. It couldn't detect cancer as accurately as health professionals.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Al has many shortcomings in practice.
B. Al totally shows its superiority to human analysis.
C. Al can reduce medical errors arising from human factors.
D. Al can diagnose heart disease as well as doctors in less time.

How to Develop Appropriate Self-Confidence
Under most circumstances having self-confidence is a good thing. ___16___ It is this strong sense of confidence that allows them to go out in the world and reach for their goals.
But can you have too much self-confidence ___17___ In most cases, knowing your strengths and having the assuredness to go out and take risks are admirable qualities. But when this confidence makes you inflexible, opposed to trying new things, and incapable of listening to others, it can become harmful to success and well-being. So what can people do to ensure that their self-confidence is realistic, authentic and socially appropriate
___18___ Whether you are evaluating your own success or offering praise to your children, try to place a greater emphasis on the work that went into the task rather than just focus on how things turned out. You cannot always control how things go, but you can control the amount of work you put into achieving your goals.
Keep learning new things. Even if you are highly confident about your skills in an area, keep looking for new challenges. It is easy to become overconfident if you think you know everything there is to know about a subject. Finding new challenges to overcome does sharpen your skills. ___19___
Listen to what others have to say. Overconfidence can sometimes cause people to become rigid and even arbitrary. Instead of assuming that your way is the right or only way, try to keep an open mind. ___20___ However, it is important to listen in order to gain a new perspective.
A. Focus on the effort, not the outcome.
B. Is overconfidence definitely a good thing
C. You might not always agree with other people.

Three years ago. I was arranged to work for a few weeks as a dentist in a new dental clinic at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was rush driving to a new and unfamiliar clinic and getting used to the different rules and clinical environment.
In my worry and anxiety, and feeling a little unfamiliar in the new setting, I removed my three things: my wedding ring, a ring that belonged to my mother and one that was an anniversary gift from my husband. I wrapped them in a tissue(纸巾) and placed them beside my computer.
During my lunch break, I noticed the wrinkled tissue and thought that it didn’t look very neat and dropped it into the rubbish bin. I went about my duties and my day went on well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive and efficient. Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that I was missing my rings. I felt the heart in my body rose, my cheeks burning red. I went inside and tried to calm down. I felt sick to my stomach and I had that sinking feeling in my heart. I spent an hour or so making calls trying to follow the track of my rings. The first people I called was my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few contact numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic and she informed me that the bins had already been collected.
Heartbroken, I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my wedding ring and one of my most treasured rings my mother’s wedding ring. Had it not been for my carelessness, all this would not have happened. With great sorrow and regret, I just sat there rooted in my chair.
Paragraph 1:
After two hours or so, I received a most amazing phone call. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I decided to thank the wonderful person face to face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
