2024年广东六校10月高三联考英语试题（附答案）(2021广东六校高三第四次联考(2)

What this selection isn't is a celebration of the literary canon (精品), a reaffirmation of the “best” books from the past. You will find no Austen or Dickens here, nor Dostoyevsky or Garcia Marquez. There is Shakespeare and Cervantes and Tolstoy, but not because they are somehow “better” than those others. Rather, this collection aims to select books that reflect the passage of human history. Most not only reflect, though, but themselves changed how we think and live. By definition, they are “important” works and, in broad critical terms, “great” works too. But this book is not concerned with which works are the greatest of all - there are plenty of other volumes that try to figure that out, and good luck to them.

Unavoidably, making a selection such as this is highly subjective. In selecting fifty titles, we can only hope to dip our toe into the vast pool of literature from ages gone by. In doing so, it is foolish to make any claim for definiteness(确定性). Instead, we are playing a literary game. Which of the fifty choices are undeniable? Which are taking a place better deserved by some other works? Everyone will have their own ideas. In the end, it matters little that we all agree. More important is that by turning our minds to the question in the first place, we might meet some unfamiliar works, revisit some old favorites and gain some insight and pleasure in the process.

32.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. Criteria for selecting important books.

B. The types of books included in the list.

C. The role of influential books in history.

D. Books as a record of human civilization.

33.What accounts for the 50 books being selected for the volume?

A. Their high literary quality and awards.

B. Their popularity and widespread influence.

C. Their reflection of human history and impact.

D. Their inclusion in traditional literary collections.

34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A. The appreciation of literature is a game for us.

B. Literature is too complicated for us to explore.

C. The selecting process is subjective and flexible.

D. Literary works selection is based on definite claims.

35.What is the ultimate goal of presenting the list of 50 books?

A. To seek agreement on literature.

B. To encourage literary exploration.

C. To determine the most influential books.

D. To observe a specific literary tradition.

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。

Here are the don'ts and do's of showing your support for your friends when they're having a hard time.

36 . There are two problematic kinds of helpers: enthusiasts and fretters. Enthusiasts tend to push their advice----to insist on fixing or overcoming the problem. Fretters are so worried about their friend’s challenges that they are constantly concerned about whether they are doing enough to help. Try to keep those behaviors in check. No one should have to manage you when they're going through a tragedy.

Don't minimize the pain and stay away from statistics. For example, if a friend failed the college exam, don't tell him that 70% of students end in failure. Remember that it doesn't mean less pain just because it happens to a lot of people. 37

Keep the focus on your friends. When your friends are talking to you, it's easy for you to share a similar story an effort to relate and connect. 38 They might feel that you've made their pain about you. If you do feel that your experience might be helpful to them, let them know that you went through something similar but allow them to decide if they want to hear about it at the moment.

Showing up isn’t a one-time thing Remember that grief(悲伤) is so complex and your friends might go through several stages of sorrow. 39 It means a lot if your friends know that you are thinking about them all the time.

Ask your friends how you can best help. 40 Just ask.

A. Don't let them stay alone.

B. But it's not always welcome.

C. Try not to be over-enthusiastic or over-worried.

D. Keep in touch with them and see if they need your support.

E. Share it with them immediately to show them they are not alone.

F. You don't need to automatically know what kind of help they want.

G. Instead, feel with your friend the bigness of what they're going through.
