the major considerations for the host country.Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics.London,BritainThe Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3,000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95 occupancy rate.The area of London,called East Village,is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground,and outside exercise areas.Beijing,ChinaBuilt for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing,the Water Cube is now Asias largest waterpark,called Happy Magic Water Cube,equipped with 13 waterslides,a wave pool and a spa.The second floor also has several restaurants,bars and a museum of Olympic history.New York,America更多全科试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君广东省汕尾市揭阳市2023-2024学年高三上学期教学质量（期末）考试英语试题学科网（北京）股份有限公司The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now,but instead,it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution.It s not surprising,though,because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.Helsinki,FinlandOriginally constructed in 1937,the Tennispalatsi,or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics.Now,however,it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.21.Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums?A.To boost national pride.B.To earn international reputation.C.To increase financial returns.D.To reduce environmental impacts.22.Which city applied its sports venue to housing improvement?A.Beijing.B.London.C.Helsinki.D.New York.23.How does the present Olympic Village in Lake Placid differ from the others?A.It has been remodeled into a prison.B.It features cultural exhibitions.C.It is equipped with advanced facilities.D.It allows commercial activities.BAbout 30 years ago,an acoustic neuroma（听神经瘤）was found inside my body.The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear.Apart from this,I was fine.Unexpectedly,the neuroma came back years later.It had to be removed again.Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain.When I awoke from the second operation,I had stroke-like symptoms.The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning,and still does.Overnight my whole identity had changed.I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time,but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle.Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless.My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child,and coupled with my communication problems,this led to increased frustration（沮丧）and anger.There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world.Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool.A ten-year-old boy I didnt know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet.As politely as possible,I said no,and we struck up a conversation

seeing myself.To make sure the neuroma did not reappear,I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly,during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits,an eccentric（古 怪的）singer most people dislike,but I dont care.For me,life after brain injury is like Waitsodd works.Out of failure,ugliness,and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.24.What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness?A.He lost the ability to keep balance.B.His acoustic neuroma regrew.C.He underwent two operations in a row.D.His vision was accidentally damaged.25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The authors efforts to rebuild his disabled body.B.The authors self-reflection on his cultural

self-discovery.C.Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.D.Live for yourself,not for the approval of others.CWhen we ignore small tasks deliberately,they balloon from tiny checklist items into big annoyances.It could be a quick email or some boring paperwork-something that will only take a few minutes and yet,somehow,for some reasons,you keep on putting it off.This is procrastination（拖延症）.People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose until the last minute,or past due date,although theyre fully aware of the negative results.Typically,更多全科试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司procrastination is caused by the lack of the ability to organize and plan how to divide time between different activities,but emotions can also be a factor,says Fuschia Sirois,a professor at the University of Sheffield.Its easy to understand why we procrastinate on big tasks.They can be physically or mentally demanding and require lots of time and energy.However,small tasks can lead to a particularly annoying form of procrastination.This could be something as simple as making a phone call to a stranger.You are so unwilling and afraid that you might mess it up.This makes worry sit in your mind,reduces your ability to solve the problem and then leads to procrastination.We dont procrastinate on tiny tasks because they slip our mind;rather,we make a conscious choice to put off something that might arouse doubt,fear or feelings of incompetence,says Sirois.Another reason is that small tasks often dont have hard deadlines.So,its easier to have an avoidance reaction because,unlike the big tasks,theres nothing to push us.So,how to get small things done?Sirois suggests we should move our attention from emotions to actions.“Sometimes,things are coloured by our emotions,”he explains.Once you actually begin a task,you might find it less stressful than you thought when you were procrastinating.And since a tiny task wont take long,rather than scheduling it,just get cracking.Dont let tiny things become big monsters.28.What can we know about people who procrastinate?A.They manage to finish on time.B.They underestimate the consequences.C.They might put off work unintentionally.D.They might have time management problems.29.Why does the author mention making a phone call in paragraph 3?A.To make a comparison with big tasks.B.To show small things can be physically demanding.C.To provide an example of overcoming procrastination.D.To prove procrastination can result from negative feelings.30.What do the underlined words get cracking mean in the last paragraph?A.Make a plan.B.Set a deadline.C.Take immediate action.D.Adopt a positive attitude.更多全科试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Why Do We Put off Small Things?B.Why Do Small Things Make Us Worried?C.How Does Procrastination Affect Your Life?D.How Do Negative Feelings Become Procrastination?DLast month,a part of the Negro River in the Amazon rainforest reduced to a depth of just 12.7 metres,its lowest level in 120 years,due to the lack of rainfall.In Lake Tef,about 500 kilometres away,more than 150 river dolphins were found dead,not because of the low water levels,but probably because the lake had reached temperatures close to 40 C.The Amazon rainforest in northern Brazil is experiencing a tough time and it is the sum of three things,says Luciana Gatti,a researcher at Brazils National Institute.The first is deforestation,which is turning rainforest into a drier,hotter place,she says.Additionally,El Ninio climate pattern has begun and it makes things worse,adds Gatti.El Nio is a phenomenon which occurs every two to seven years.During El Nio,winds that usually blow from east to west along the equator（赤道）are weakened or even turn the other way round.This leads to the change of rainfall in South America,causing dry air in the north,where the rainforest lies,and damp air in the south.As a result,countries in the south are currently greeted by heavy rains,while the Amazon is experiencing the lowest rainfall levels from July to September in 40 years.The third factor is the unusual warming of the water in the northern Atlantic Ocean.The warming of these waters causes the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone（热带辐合带）,a region of intense cloud and rain formation,to shift north.The ITCZ takes the storms with it,away from Brazil,and causes less rainfall than usual.Although it is hard to predict when the next drought might strike the Amazon,studies show that climate change is messing with the timing of El Nio.The tendency is that we have stronger and more frequent crises,Gatti says.This could be a disaster for the Amazon rainforest,already hit by deforestation and a warming,drying climate.The forests tipping point is coming closer-and its coming quick.32.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A.The climate change and flood.更多全科试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.The extreme drought and heat.C.The severe pollution and extinction.D.The wildlife death and deforestation.33.According to Gatti,why does El Nio make things worse?A.The east wind brings hot air.B.The west wind causes heavy rain.C.The high temperature has decreased damp air.D.The wind direction has affected the rainfall pattern.34.What can be inferred about the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone from paragraph 4?A.It produces rainfall in Brazil.B.It carries clouds to rainforest.C.Its movement worsens the drought.D.Its formation raises the water temperature.35.What is Gattis attitude to the future of the Amazon rainforest?A.Concerned.B.Unclear.C.Positive.D.Objective.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The appeal of clay（黏土）,with its physicality and boundless creative potential,has attracted artists,technicians,and hobbyists for centuries.36 This essay will explore how making pottery offers countless benefits for mental health,including stress relief,sensory engagement,acceptance of imperfection,and self-expression.Engaging with clay is a comforting activity that can reduce stress and anxiety.The focus and concentration required to sculpt clay can quiet the mind and promote relaxation.In addition to its healing benefits,making pottery provides a comforting sensory experience.37 This process also involves repetitive motions such as throwing,shaping,and coloring,which can provide a sense of control and accomplishment,boosting self-confidence and reducing negative thoughts.38 We may spend hours beautifying our pieces,choosing colors that speak to us,and hoping they will look as we envision after firing.Sometimes they do,especially for the fortunate or skilled.更多全科试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司But often,we must learn to accept imperfection.As the experienced potter Meg Biddle puts it,Its finding that balance between control and unpredictability that gives me joy.Creating with clay is an overall experience that engages our hands,fine motor skills,and imagination.It is an extension of ourselves,allowing us to shape the clay with raw emotions while making detailed decisions.39 In conclusion,pottery offers countless benefits for our well-being,including stress relief,creative expression,and the ability to let go.As we transform clay into a beautifully finished piece of art,we also take a step closer to our own transformation.Pottery is not just an art form.40 A.Working with clay means taking your time.B.But pottery is more than just a creative pursuit.C.Its also a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.D.Its touching nature allows the body and mind to unwind.E.Working with clay also teaches us to accept unpredictability.F.Through pottery,we have our external and internal desires expressed.G.The benefits of sculpting clay outweigh the long and tiring process involved.第二部分语言运用（共两节,满分 30分）第一节（共 15
