Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·山西省高三第三次四校联考)
Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low－key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e－mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2024 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Amy, a student in the USA, says that the best diet is to reduce what you eat and do plenty of exercise. Get involved in extra activities and never eat after 9 pm in case what you have eaten turns fat because your body system slows down in the evening and also while you sleep. __1__
David is studying in the USA and he believes that it is a good idea to increase the fiber he eats. __2__ Fresh is the best: beans and special fiber materials are excellent choices.
In the UK, students believe that life as a student can be very difficult. __3__ One student, Jennifer, believes that you should eat well, rest well, take vitamins to supplement your diet and you will stay healthy.
But why are so many young people obsessed with diet and exercise? Mostly because they realize they are putting on weight and they know that obesity can lead to illnesses such as diabetes. Why do they put on weight? __4__ They get up late in the morning, dress quickly, eat quickly and then at lunch they often eat fast food and drink soda, both of which are fattening. They then sit chatting to friends, go back to class and sit listening, and late in the afternoon they leave school, meet friends and sit and chat again. If you are like most kids, you might have the same experience.
So, are you a student who is putting on weight? Which of the advice from other students do you think you will act on? __5__ So, think about your health and weight. They are both very important for your well－being and your marks at school.
A．Because they lead an unhealthy lifestyle and eat the wrong foods.
B．A healthy body means both a healthy mind and better marks at school.
C．That means for one whole day they have eaten fattening foods without exercise.
D．This is found in whole grains, fruit and vegetables which are common and daily foods.
E．Try to go for at least a 10－minute walk after eating, or better still, go for a jog or a bicycle ride.
F．You study hard, find yourself under stress and then spend a long time out with friends relaxing.
G．Because students who don't exercise tend to put on weight sooner and see a drop in their test scores.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作为学生，怎样才能保持健康的饮食呢？本文给出了几种不同的观点。
1．E 第一段首句讲的是要少吃多锻炼，空格前面讲了要控制饮食，所以空处应该与多锻炼有关。E项符合题意。
2．D 第二段第一句提到要多摄入纤维素，D项介绍了纤维素的来源，符合此处语境。
3．F 空前说作为一名学生生活是很苦的，空处应对该句进行具体说明。F项中的“study hard”“under stress”等信息与空前的“very difficult”相呼应，故选F。
4．A 空前问的是“他们为什么发胖”，空后提到了他们的一些不良作息和饮食习惯，故空处填A。
5．B 空前讲到你将会践行哪条建议，空后则说健康和体重对你的幸福和学习成绩都很重要，故B符合此处语境。
Ⅲ.完形填空
(2024·黑龙江哈尔滨三中一模)
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守的) person who is __1__only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous，__2__ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to __3__ the truth of this. Serious－looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or __4__ off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的)．
__5__， there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once __6__， makes the offender immediately the object of __7__.
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)__8__ to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it __9__. Some people argue that it is because the British weather __10__ follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much __11__ in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, __12__ to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his __13__.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references __14__ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are __15__ by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn't it？”“Beautiful day！” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you？”__16__ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大的) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his __17__. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is __18__ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) __19__ subject to which a response may well be __20__ of even the most reserved of the British.
语篇解读：英国人安静、保守，陌生人之间很少交谈，但他们却非常喜欢谈论天气，因此，天气也就成为了与英国人开始一段谈话的常用话题。
1．A.relaxed B．frustrated
C．amused D．exhausted
答案：A relaxed意为“放松的”；frustrated意为“沮丧的，挫败的”；amused意为“愉悦的”；exhausted意为“疲惫的，耗尽的”。根据第一段第二句中的“When a stranger is present，he often seems nervous”可知，英国人只在其熟悉的人面前感到放松，故A项正确。
2.A.yet B．otherwise
C．even
D．so
答案：C yet意为“然而”；otherwise意为“否则，另外”；even意为“甚至”；so意为“所以”。句意为：在陌生人面前，英国人会显得紧张，甚至感到尴尬。此处表示递进关系，故C项正确。
3．A.experience B．witness
C．watch D．undertake
答案：B experience意为“经历，体验”；witness意为“目击，证明”；watch意为“观察”；undertake意为“承担；允诺”。根据本段最后一句所描述的商务人士在火车上的表现可知此处表示“在任意一个早上或者晚上乘通勤车的时候，你都可以证明这一事实”，故B项正确。
4.A.whispering B．murmuring
C．nodding D．laughing
答案：C whisper意为“耳语，低声说”；murmur意为“低语”；nod意为“点头”；laugh意为“嘲笑”。上文提到在陌生人面前，英国人会显得紧张，再结合此空后的hardly anybody talks可知，表情严肃的商人和女士坐在那里看报纸或者在角落里打盹儿。nod off意为“打瞌睡，打盹”，为固定短语，符合语境。
5.A.Hopefully B．Exactly
C．Frequently D．Obviously
答案：D 句意为：显然，在英国有个不成文但人尽皆知的行为准则， 一旦有人打破这一准则，这个人就会立刻成为被批评的对象。hopefully意为“有希望地，有前途地”；exactly意为“恰好地，精确地”；frequently意为“频繁地”；obviously意为“显然地，显而易见地”。根据语境可知D项正确。
6.A.developed B．observed

答案：D 此处表示一旦规则被打破，故D项正确。
7.A.doubtB．argument
C．criticism
D．praise
答案：C 上半句提到这是一个人尽皆知的行为准则，故一旦有人打破，则肯定成为批评的对象。doubt意为“怀疑”；argument意为“争论”；criticism意为“批评”；praise意为“赞美，赞扬”。根据语境可知C项正确。
8.A.emotionB．fancy
C．likeliness
D．judgment
答案：B emotion意为“情感，情绪”；fancy意为“想象，喜爱”；likeliness意为“可能性”；judgment意为“判断，裁决”。根据下文可知，英国人喜欢谈论天气。take a fancy to sth./sb.意为“喜欢某事或某人”，为固定短语，符合语境。
9.A.at length B．at last
C．at most D．at least
答案：A at length意为“长时间地”；at last意为“最后，终于”；at most意为“至多”；at least意为“至少”。根据语境可知此处表示英国人如有机会就会畅谈天气，故A项正确。
10．A.alwaysB．often
C．constantly
D．seldom
答案：D 根据11空后的“the weathermen, whose predictions，in many cases，__12__ to be wrong”可知，英国的天气预报很少是准确的，故此处用seldom“几乎不”。
11．A.faithB．relief
C．honor D．credit
答案：A faith意为“信仰，信念”；relief意为“宽慰；减轻”；honor意为“荣耀，荣誉”；credit意为“信任”。因为天气预报很少准确，英国人当然不能非常相信气象预报员。have faith in sb.意为“信任某人”，为固定短语，故A项正确。

C．turn out D．find out
答案：C put out意为“熄灭”；make out意为“理解；辨认出”；turn out意为“最后，结果是，最终成为”；find out意为“查明”。气象预报员的预报很多情况下被证实是错的，故C项符合语境。

C．approval
D．appreciation
答案：B consideration意为“考虑，体谅”；prediction意为“预测”；approval意为“赞成”；appreciation意为“欣赏，感激”。上文提到气象预报员的预报不准，此处表示街上的人似乎和气象预报中的预报员一样准确或者不准确。故B项符合语境。
14．A.aboutB．on
C．in
D．to
答案：D 此处考查结构make reference to的用法，意为“谈及，提及”，为固定搭配，故D项正确。
15．A.startedB．conducted
C．replaced
D．proposed
答案：C start意为“开始”；conduct意为“管理；引导”；replace意为“替换”；propose意为“提议，计划”。根据下文可知，此处表示寒暄经常会被谈论天气取代(replaced)。
16．A.SinceB．Although
C．However
D．Only if
答案：B 句意为：尽管外国人可能会认为这有些夸张和滑稽，但值得指出的是，了解这些对他是有好处的。根据下半句中的it is worthwhile...可知此处用连词although“尽管”，引导让步状语从句。
17．A.benefitB．advantage
C．disadvantage D．favor
答案：B benefit意为“好处，益处”；advantage意为“优势，有利条件”；disadvantage意为“缺点，不利条件”；favor意为“喜爱，欢心”。to one's advantage表示“对……有利”，为固定搭配。

C．in groups
D．on occasion
答案：A at a loss意为“茫然，困惑”；in detail意为“详细地”；in groups意为“成群地，分组的”；on occasion意为“有时，偶尔”。外国人想要和英国人攀谈，但又不知道怎样开头，那就不妨先谈谈天气，故A项正确。
