One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Philip, a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office (招生办公室), standing with another young man. Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.
Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen's eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.
As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen's story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn't take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.
Stephen didn't become an A student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self esteem.
On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.”
24．According to Stephen's questions to the author, we know that Stephen ________.

B．He was an excellent student, but didn't have self esteem.

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton's and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said, “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.
28．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1
A．He made good use of ideas from others.
B．He produced the first car in the world.
C．He knew how to improve auto parts.
D．He invented the production line.
29．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race
A．To show off his driving skills.
B．To draw public attention.
C．To learn about new technology.
D．To raise money for his new company.
30．“That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A．the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B．the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C．the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D．the sales target for the Ford Company
31．What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text
A．Producing cars for average customers.
B．Building racing cars of simple design.
C．Designing more car models.
D．Starting more companies.

Bigger bumblebees ( 大黄蜂) spend time learning the locations of the most nectar-rich (花蜜多的) flowers, so they can easily find them again, new research finds. Smaller bees, on the other hand, aren't quite as choosy in their flower selection.
After drinking from a flower, bumblebees decide if it's worth visiting again. If the flower is rich in nectar, bumblebees will perform what are known as learning flights to study the location around the flowers. They will slowly fly around the flower, and then fly away from it, looking back at its location. They will remember the flower and the views all around it. On their next trip, the bees match what they see with the views they have already memorized. This takes them back to the flower's location.
For the study, researchers set up an experiment in a greenhouse where they could watch bees visit artificial flowers containing varying concentrations (不同浓度) of sugar solutions. The flowers had sugar solutions ranging from 10% to 50% sugar. When the concentration was greater, the larger bees spent more time circling the flowers and making learning flights. When the concentration was smaller, the length of time the bees spent looking at the flower and flying around it dropped.
Smaller bees spent the same amount of effort learning where the flowers were, no matter whether the concentration of sugar was low or high.
The difference likely shows the different roles of the bees in their colonies (群体), the researchers said.
“Large bumblebees are able to carry larger loads ( 负载) and explore further from the nest than smaller ones. Smaller ones with a smaller flight range and carrying capacity cannot afford to be as picky and so accept a wider range of flowers,” the researchers said in the study. “Smaller bees often take on more tasks inside the nest, only going out to search for food when food supplies are running low.”
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How bumblebees tell one flower from another.
B. How bumblebees make flights among flowers.
C. How bumblebees remember the locations of flowers.
D. How bumblebees tell others where sweet flowers are.
33. What did researchers find out in their experiment
A. Bees dislike the flowers in the greenhouse.
B. The bigger flowers are, the more bees there are.
C. Smaller bees are more likely to forget a flower's location.
D. The sweeter a flower is, the longer time bigger bees spend around it.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Smaller bees are better at building nests.
B. Bees' duties might depend on their sizes.
C. Bees of different sizes have different tastes.
D. There're more large bees than small ones in a nest.
35. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Technology.
B. Nature.
C. Style.
D. Opinion.

My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er … What … What do you really want to do in the beautiful future ”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts What if he gets angry What if I let him down ” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may not be the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious, Dad ”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we get lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while. Then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
Paragraph 1:
At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. _____________________________________________________________________永安市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试

Harry came to his mother one morning while she was having her breakfast，and said to her, “No one at my school likes me, Mother. The teachers don't, and the children don't. Even the cleaners and the bus drivers hate me.”
“Well, Harry，” his mother answered, “Perhaps you aren't very nice to them. If a few people don't like a person, he or she may not be responsible for that. But if a lot of people don't, there is usually something wrong, and that person really needs to change.”
“I'm too old to change，” Harry said, “I don't want to go to school.”
“Don't be silly, Harry，” his mother said, going to the garage to get the car out. “You have to go. You're quite well, and you still have a lot of things to learn. And besides that you're headmaster of the school.”

参考答案：
1． At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn’t give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoys and hold on to it.
2. From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to schoolwork, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literary journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.
