Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Class 9. I think it’s a good idea for our school to introduce cooking and life skills classes during one PE class per week. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, by learning basic life skills like cooking, we students can learn how to take care of ourselves and live independently, which are crucial for our future development. Besides, learning cooking and other life skills will encourage us to explore and experiment with different ingredients and techniques, allowing us to express ourselves and work together effectively.
My suggestion is that the school can make use of the after-school activities to make up for the reduced PE class. By offering more sports and exercise options during this time, students can still engage in physical activities and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Hopefully, my suggestion will be taken into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Class 9. I think it’s not a good idea for our school to sacrifice one PE class per week for courses on life skills for students. The reasons are as follows.
First and foremost, physical education is essential for students to maintain their physical health. By reducing PE classes, students will have fewer opportunities for exercise, which may lead to various health problems, such as obesity. Furthermore, PE classes provide students with a break from academic studies, which is helpful for them to relieve stress and improve mental focus, ultimately benefiting their academic performance.
In my opinion, the school should consider offering these classes during club activities. This way, students would have the opportunity to learn these practical skills while still maintaining the necessary physical education hours.
Hopefully, my suggestion will be taken into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Possible version:
When I finally went back unwillingly, I found that Mom wasn’t there. I had no choice but to search the nearby stores for her. As I went from one shop to another, anxiety filled my stomach. The lingering shame continued to burden my thoughts, whispering negative words. Each store I entered reminded me of my mother’s absence, increasing my growing fear. The concerned looks from other shoppers seemed to match my own judgment. Why couldn’t she be like other mothers — polished, and stylish My unhappiness for our differences grew, fueling my annoyance. Suddenly, my eyes landed on a high-end store, and there I finally saw Mom.
Mom stood in a fancy store, holding a girl’s dress that looked much too expensive. As I approached her, she exclaimed, “This will look good on you. Do you want it ” I knew it was far too expensive, but I almost agreed, carelessly, and thoughtlessly. Then I took a closer look at Mom. She was so small and weary, clothes worn and old. But a big smile stretched across her face, for she was happy to give me something so nice.My words died in my throat. She looked so tired all the time because she was busy working to provide for me. At that moment, Mom was beautiful and extraordinary in my eyes. I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.龙岗区 2023-2024 学年第一学期高三期末质量监测

After the death of her nature-loving mother, Margaret Renkl tenderly placed in an antique
jar the “soft white hair” left behind in her mother’s hairbrush. Years passed. When it no longer
carried the scent (气味) she treasured, Renkl laid the hair across a tree branch in her yard. This
act was meant as a direct invitation to the birds in her yard, and it was accepted: A bird used the
hair for the nest it was building.
Renkl devotes only a half-page to this story, but it conveys the beautiful interaction of
human and other animal lives at the heart of The Comfort of Crows. Starting in winter and
continuing through the seasonal round, Renkl brings alive in 52 chapters her love for the animals
and plants in her half-acre (半英亩) yard in Tennessee and in nearby parks. Equally moving, she
admits her desperation at the human-caused crisis the natural world faces, and her determination
not to back off.
Her determination is more than lip service. She cures a neighborhood fox against a skin
disease, with the help of a trap, a bit of bacon, and advice from an animal doctor; ensures that
leaves from the trees in her yard are not gathered so that insects overwinter and hungry birds can
dine there; fills a garden with milkweed in support of monarch butterflies.
With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human-caused global warming that
is changing our environment and harming other species. In these days of climate crisis, the
phenomenon of ecological anxiety is real. In order to seize opportunities to help, many of us do
require fuel to restore our spirits. Find that fuel in Renkl’s chapters of The Comfort of Crows.
The animals and plants so cherished by Renkl need us now more than ever.

Imagine that you’ve just finished taking a multiple-choice test, and you start to
second-guess one of your answers. You have some extra time — should you stick to your first
instinct (直觉) or change it About three quarters of students are convinced that changing their
answers will hurt their scores. Experience indicates that many who change answers change to the
wrong answer.
Despite the lessons of experience, what does evidence say In a review of thirty-three
studies, three psychologists found that the majority of answer changes were from wrong to right.
Teachers have also found that students’ final exams have few eraser marks, but those who do
rethink their first answers rather than sticking to them end up improving their scores. This
phenomenon is known as the first instinct fallacy (谬误).
We don’t just hesitate to rethink our answers. We hesitate at the very idea of rethinking.
Take an experiment where hundreds of college students learned about the first instinct fallacy for
example. Researchers taught them about the value of changing their minds and gave them advice
on when it makes sense to do so. In their next two tests, they were still unlikely to change their
answers.
Part of the problem is cognitive (认知的) laziness. Psychologists point out that we favor the
comfort of firmly-held beliefs over the discomfort of doubt. Questioning ourselves makes the
world more unpredictable. It requires us to admit that the facts may have changed, and that what
was once right may now be wrong.
We’ve all heard about the popular story where a frog would immediately escape if dropped
into boiling hot water, but it would stay if the water was gradually heated. However, it isn’t true.

{#{QQABRYSAogCAAAIAABgCQQGKCkAQkBGCCKoOQBAAIAAAABFABCA=}#}
The frog will escape as soon as the water gets uncomfortably warm. It is just once we hear the
story and accept it as true, we rarely bother to question it. So, it’s not so much changing your
answer that improves your score as considering whether you should change it.
28. What is a common belief among students when they take tests
A. Changing answers is a risk. B. First instinct harms their scores.
C. Reviewing answers is a must. D. Second-guessing improves their scores.
29. What might college students be taught concerning the first instinct fallacy
A. Changing one’s mind hurts. B. First instinct should be ignored.
C. Seeking others’ advice helps. D. First answers can be challenged.
30. Why does the author mention the story of a frog
A. To raise questions about the story.
B. To stress the importance of escaping.
C. To convey the frog’s lesson of survival.
D. To illustrate our resistance to questioning.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Rethinking: the Art of Doubt B. First Instinct is Not to Be Trusted
C. Changing: From Right to Wrong D. Changing Answers Improves Scores
D
When you eagerly dig into a long-awaited dinner, it’s traditionally believed that signals
from your stomach to your brain stop you eating so much. However, a research team recently
discovered that it’s our sense of taste that immediately pulls us back from eating food overly on
a hungry day. Stimulated by the perception of flavor, a set of brain cells become active to
quickly curtail food intake.
Previous studies have suggested that the food taste may control how fast we eat, but it’s
been impossible to study relevant brain activities during eating because brain cells that control
this process are located deep in our brains, making them hard to access or record in an awake
animal. New techniques developed by the team allowed for the first-ever imaging and recording
of a brainstem structure critical for feeling full, called NTS, in an active mouse.
The new study found that when researchers put food directly into the mouse’s stomach,
brain cells called PRLH were activated by signals from the gut (消化道), in line with traditional
thinking. However, when they allowed the mice to eat the food as they normally would, those
signals from the gut didn’t show up. Instead, the PRLH brain cells switched to a new activity
pattern that was entirely controlled by signals from the mouth. “It’s astonishing that these cells
were activated by the perception of taste,” said researchers. “It shows that there are other
components of the appetite-control system that deserves our attention.”
The PRLH-activated slowdown also makes sense in terms of timing. The taste of food
allows PRLH to switch their activity in seconds. In contrast, another group of brain cells, called
CGC, takes several minutes to respond to signals from the gut. The good thing is that CGC can
hold back hunger for a much longer time. These two sets of brain cells interact to work together:
one uses taste to slow down eating, while the other signals that you are full.

Understanding how body signals regulate appetite could improve weight-loss programs for
the overweight by making use of interactions between signals from different brain cell sets.
32.What does the underline word “curtail” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Activate. B. Limit. C. Expand. D. Assist.
33. What is the limitation of previous studies according to paragraph 2
A. Inadequate technologies. B. Inefficient funds.
C. Unqualified professionals. D. Improper methods.
34. What did the new study find about PRLH brain cells when the mice normally ate
A. They helped stimulate the mice’s appetite.
B. They encouraged the mice to speed up eating.
C. They were activated by signals from the mouth.
D. They were controlled by signals from the stomach.
35. What is the function of CGC brain cells
A. To slow down eating speed. B. To improve the digestion system.
C. To extend the feeling of fullness. D. To interact with signals from taste.

You know the scene: A child runs downstairs in pajamas to unwrap her holiday presents
and sheds joyful tears as she hugs a new puppy rescued from a shelter. The music builds up,
hearts double in size and faith in humanity is restored. 36 Before taking that step, there
are a few things to consider.
First is the element of surprise. The timing could be a surprise, but the animal should
absolutely not be a surprise. The decision should be based on many conversations. Everyone
involved should understand the long-term consequences, children included. 37
Next, you’ll choose whether to adopt from a shelter or rescue. 38 They are across
the country flooded with lovable animals. They also offer physical locations where you can meet
a lot of animals at once. On the other hand, rescues are smaller and funded by donations. They
often rely on fosters to house animals.
39 Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving
that your landlord allows pets. Check to see if applying online is possible. If you’re applying in
person, make sure you know what to bring.
If you’re worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child,
you can wrap a leash (牵引绳 ) or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet
owner to the shelter. 40 This step will be more meaningful and memorable than just
having an animal show up at your door.
A. Now, you can welcome the lovely one with open arms.
B. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing your child smile.
C. Shelters tend to be larger and quicker to process applications.

D. Whichever you choose, apply and become approved as an adopter first.
E. While it is sweet, giving a living creature as a gift isn’t a light decision.
F. Involving your child in the selection process adds to the whole experience.
G. Responsibilities can be assigned to them even before their new pet arrives.

City walk gains popularity among young Chinese. Different from the fast-paced “special
forces-style” (特种部队式) tourism, city walk is 41 and not very purposeful.
To a certain extent, “special forces-style” tourism is just a(n) 42 of regular travel,
where young people spend 24 hours in a city with the same travel guides and check-in list.
By comparison, city walk allows people to explore a city 43 without deliberately
joining the 44 at popular tourist spots or waiting in 45 lines outside popular
restaurants for hours. People 46 the past and present of a city as a local resident. After all,
time is not 47 and the need for travel is not so pressing any more.
While “special forces-style” tourists 48 fast pace and purposefulness, city walkers are
completely slow and free. What really matters is 49 wandering. People expect that a
trip frees themselves from high 50 and repetitive daily life. Since such words as
leisure, 51 and purposelessness are associated with city walk, it seems not difficult to
understand why young people are 52 about it.
When we were children in school, 45 minutes of class was worth a 10-minute 53 . As
we have 54 and started working hard, we always want to 55 freedom in life during
free time. City walk is a path where we can freely choose, plan, and explore.

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。
It was a Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do
remember it was a Saturday because the mall was full of people.
I was with my mom. It is easy to miss her in a crowd simply because she is so ordinary. On
that day we walked casually, taking quick looks at the store windows because we both knew we
wouldn’t be buying much, like always.
I remember I was looking up at the people passing by — at first uninterestedly, but then
more carefully. Ladies wore bright and elegant clothing. They had no wrinkles (皱纹) on their
faces — wiped away with expensive creams. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I
tried to push it out, but failed. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no
longer: I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood, living in a small, expensive apartment building that
Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools were good. We were in a high-class
neighborhood, but as I observed the passers-by and then turned my eyes on Mom, I realized for
the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth,
because she didn’t use any creams. She dressed in cheap, worn-out clothes. Her eyes were tired
from working long hours to make a living and her hair too grey for her age.
I looked at her, feeling ashamed. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she
stood out because she was just so plain. Telling her to wait for me around the corner, I hurried
away to the bathroom and didn’t want to be seen with her. On the way to the bathroom, my eyes
couldn’t help falling on beautiful dresses. Each dress seemed like a work of art with delicate
patterns. However, my heart sank as I knew they were far beyond my reach, further reducing my
desire to return.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I finally went back unwillingly, I found that Mom wasn’t there.
Mom stood in a fancy store, holding a girl’s dress that looked much too expensive.
