46．Dear Peter,
How are you doing To make our class more productive, I’d like to voice my ideas.
I’ve noticed that many of us are hesitant to speak up, probably due to fear of making mistakes. To approach this, I strongly recommend organizing group discussions and role-play activities, where the relaxed atmosphere will inspire more active participation and motivate us to speak confidently. Additionally, our vocabulary and grammar exercises could be more engaging. Interactive games, like word puzzles and grammar challenges, would make our learning fun and memorable. Such activities can foster a sense of competition and teamwork, contributing to a more dynamic and interactive learning environment.
Please take my tips into consideration at your convenience. Hopefully, they will be of great help.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．One possible version:
As I stood there, feeling at a loss, my mum came in. Her gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. She looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself.
Finally came the big moment of my solo (独唱) show. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was smiling at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person.东莞市海德双语学校2024-2025学年 第一学期 高三 期中考试

A
Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled(拆除)and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past—complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s(工匠)cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester(2 miles)and Haslemere(7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults 14, children 5-17 and students 6.50, under-4s free, family 38(two adults and two children)or 25(one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10am-5pm(last entry 4pm).

I used to have a “dream job”. At least, that’s how many people saw it. It was a highly desirable government position that included a guaranteed retirement and a lifetime medical plan. It was also nearly impossible to get fired.
But I was miserable every day. As soon as I clocked into work, all my energy—and in turn, all my desire for life—faded away.
Instead, I thought about my side business. For a few years, I’d been running an auto shop in my home garage. I specialized in repairing and modifying classic cars. At one point, I hung up a print (照片) of my favorite automotive shop as a source of inspiration. I knew the owner’s story well: He has a tight work schedule, but his work ethic, artistry, and authenticity never falter(衰退).
In 2019, one of my clients offered me an actual industrial space to run my shop. I was nervous to say yes. Could I really expand my business and keep my government job Was it wise to give up something with so much security
Then it dawned on me: The “dream job” had a guaranteed retirement plan for people who work there for 30 years—but after 30 year, would elderly me look back and regret not seizing the opportunity to do things on my own terms I had my answer.
In 2020, I left the dream job to run my business full time. In 2021, I somehow kept the business afloat, and we moved into a shop that’s double the size. That’s when I realized that my print was still hanging up back at my “first” garage. I thought about how much that print meant to me back then, and how it deserved a place of prominence(杰出) at my new location.
It is now proudly displayed in my humble shop, along with a banner given to me by the owner of the store that I like. It serves as a reminder to hold myself to the same ethos as he—tireless work ethic, ever-evolving artistry, and genuine authenticity. Frankly, this path has not been easy. Since starting my own business, never in my life have I been so tired, frustrated, or anxious. But I live on my own terms and love every second of life.

Southeast Asia has a population of about 680 million people and its countries are seeing rapid economic growth. However, it is also expected to be one of the regions which could be most heavily affected by climate change. Natural disasters already regularly affect the region. Two recent examples are Typhoon Rai, which hit the Philippines and Cyclone Seroja, which affected Indonesia. Urgent action is required to build up the region’s ability to adapt to climate change, and it is a collective responsibility.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been a hot topic in regard to climate change, especially since 92% of transport-related emissions (排放) in Southeast Asia come from road transport. Some Southeast Asian nations have started focusing on increasing EV production. Indonesia wants 20% of all cars built there to be EVs by 2025 and Thailand wants to hit 30% by 2030. Thailand also lowered taxes on EVs from 8% to 2% to help incentivize consumers.
Grab, a car rental company with a presence across Southeast Asia, has been a strong advocate of turning to EVs. It is actively helping their driver-partners turn to EVs by making them more affordable through partnerships with automakers, energy providers and other key industry players. It already operates the largest EV rental company in Indonesia with about 8,500 vehicles and also has a feature in Singapore called “Eco-friendly Rides” that allows users to be prioritized for a cleaner energy vehicle for their rides. More than one million rides on cleaner energy vehicles have been provided through that initiative so far since its launch in 2021.
However, some argue that EVs have limitations with regards to controlling emissions. Since Southeast Asia primarily uses coal and natural gas to generate electricity, emission reduction may not be currently comparable to that of regions using more renewable energy. Additionally, EV adoption does also generate concerns around dealing with the used solar panels and EV batteries safely, so they are not the be-all and end-all solution to climate change.
8．Why does the author mention Typhoon Rai and Cyclone Seroja
A．To prove the importance of Indonesia.
B．To show the impact of natural disasters.
C．To stress the reason of climate change.
D．To raise the awareness of economic growth.
9．What does the underlined word “incentivize” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Educate. B．Thank. C．Encourage. D．Protect.
10．What does Grab do to promote EVs
A．It makes them less expensive. B．It founds more branches.
C．It cooperates with drivers. D．It adds features to their vehicles.
11．What’s a concern about turning to EVs
A．The driving safety of EVs.
B．The growing need for solar energy.
C．Their efficiency in reducing emissions.
D．The consumption of coal and natural gas.
D
An important life lesson that I’ve drawn from running is to run at my own pace. It has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.
Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed. But my coach shared some valuable advice; run at your own best pace. Setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time, I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.
I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.
Running carries its own set of expectations, including what it means to be a strong runner. But expectations also extend to other areas of life, including what people at certain life stages should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandmother.
I used to think it was young people who bore peer pressure, but it’s easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. We often make what someone else does the reference point. It’s a comparison trap.
Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run in your own way. It’s not better or worse — only different.
12．What does the author intend to tell in paragraph 2
A．The origin of a life principle. B．Her misunderstanding of running.
C．The importance of life expectations. D．Her unpleasant training experience.
13．What does the author think about life expectations
A．They are vital for retired people. B．They vary at different life stages.
C．They cover every decision in life. D．They are usually too high to fulfill.
14．What can we infer from paragraph 5
A．Young people often compete with old people. B．Retired people take up bad occupations.
C．Retired people are also under peer pressure. D．A comparison trap makes young people stronger.
15．What message does the author mainly want to convey
A．Retirement can’t stop old people’s dreams.
B．People should live life to the fullest.
C．People should live at their own speed.
D．Running at a fixed pace is beneficial to retired people.
二、七选五（共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分）
The gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere is primarily caused by human activity. We burn fossil fuels, and pump carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases act like a greenhouse. 16
Already, the consequences of global warming are measurable and visible 17 Lakes around the world are warming rapidly-in some cases faster than the surrounding environment. Animals are changing migration patterns, and plants are budding their leaves earlier in the spring and dropping them later in the fall.
One of the most immediate and obvious consequences of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by 0.8℃ over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 18 That year, Earth's surface temperature was 0.99℃ warmer than the average across the entire 20th century.
19 We have more unpredictable extreme weather. These extremes come in different flavors. One effect can be colder than-normal winters. Changes in climate can cause the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air to migrate south. 20 This is why some areas can have a sudden cold snap or colder-than-normal winter, even during the long-term trend of global warming.
A．That will bring with it cold, Arctic air.
B．They trap in heat and cause global warming.
C．An immediate consequence is freezing weather.
D．Our Earth is heating up, and heating up quickly.
E．Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers.
F．Since 1895, the hottest year on record worldwide was 2016.
G．As global average temperatures go up, weather patterns are changing.

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。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the challenging city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to show their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A sense of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show ” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a bright idea seemed to occur to her. “Why not practise right now upstairs I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at (眨眼示意) us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I practised almost every single day after school. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had a serious stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma’s voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this was not how everything was supposed to go!
