2023-2024学年山东省实验中学高二下学期开学英语试题
2023-2024学年山东省实验中学高二下学期开学英语试题What are the best foreign films coming out in May? Here are four of the best new films to watch.HypnoticNothing is what it seems in Hypnotic, a mind-bending plot thriller from Robert Rodriguez. Ben Affleck stars as a police detective who is disturbed by the disappearance of his daughter. He is investigating a series of bank robberies (抢劫) when a mystery woman tells him about “hypnotics”: people who have the power to make others believe and do anything they want by saying a single sentence.Released on 11 May in Australia, 12 May in the US &26 May in the UKThe Little MermaidAnother month, another live-action-and-CGI remake of a classic Disney cartoon. But this one is more distinctive than most, because a black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the title character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. Besides, the film’s director argues that his version of The Little Mermaid is progressive in other wa ys, too. “She and Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, really teach the world about prejudice and about breaking down barriers and walls between these two worlds.” Also, there’s a singing crab (螃蟹).On general release from 24 MayThe Eight MountainsAll of the mountains in The Eight Mountains are unspoilt and breathtakingly beautiful. Some of them are in the Himalayas, but most are in the Italian alps, where Pietro, a city boy from Turin, befriends Bruno, the only child left in a remote rural village.Released on 5 May in Japan, 12 May in the UK and Ireland, and 19 May in Spain and FinlandGuardians of the Galaxy Vol 3It’s been six years since Marvel’s second Guardians of the Galaxy film came out.

D．Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 .In a Zulu village, Daphne gave birth to a baby, named Xolani Nkosi. The baby was tiny, no more than two kilos. As the months passed, Daphne realized the boy was ill. The doctor who examined the boy had said his illness might be a result of HIV infection.Meanwhile, another South African woman, Gail Johnson, was living a different life. She and her husband were not wealthy, but were c omfortably middle class. A visit to a friend’s brother, who was in the terminal (晚期的) stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something. By October, she had raised enough money to set up the Guest House, and took in a dozen dying of AIDS. Daphne sent her boy to the Guest House, where he became a star.But in 1992 the Guest House had to be closed for lack of money. Gail offered to adopt Nkosi. By his 4th birthday, Nkosi was eating better, gaining some weight. In 1997, Gail sent Nkosi to school. In 3 years at school Nkosi had only one accident. He fell in the playground and cut his mouth. The bleeding was handled with care. His school performance was satisfactory.Nkosi’s progress was tracked in the media. Gail took advantage of the coverage to raise money an d found a house in Johannesburg for some women and their kids. She called it Nkosi’s Haven. Nkosi and Gail became icons (偶像人物) in the international AIDS community. They were invited to the United States and spent a week there making appearances. Then in July 2000, the 13th International Conference on AIDS was scheduled to be held in Durban. Nkosi was introduced to a huge audience. He said, “Care for us and accept us. We are all human beings. We are normal. We have hands. We have feet. Don’t be afraid of us.We are all the same.” His tiny body was ravaged, but his big heart inspired a nation.4.

B．Curious and inspiring.C．Strong-willed and demanding. D．Warm-hearted and considerate.In a global report of lake color, researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth’s lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown, the Learn reports in the Sept. 28 Geophysical Research Letters.The changing colors could change how people use those waters and offer clues about the stability of lake ecosystems. Compared with blue lakes, green or brown lakes have more algae (藻类) and organic matter, says Xiao Yang, a hydrologist (水文专家) at Southern Methodist University.Lakes in places with average summer air temperatures that were below 19° Celsius were more likely to be blue than lakes with warmer summers. That’s because war mer water helps algae bloom more, which changes the properties of the water.Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the color of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a la ke’s color, the researchers focused on the most frequent color observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colors of these lakes. The approach is “super cool,” the researchers say. These satellite data are “just so powerful.”If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O’Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University. Lakes are often use d for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the color changes wouldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans don’t value lots of algae in a lake, but if you’re a certain type of fish species, you might be like ‘this is great’” O’Reilly says.8. What can we learn about the lakes’ color change according to the text?A．It is caused by water pollution. B．It does harm to the growth of algae.C．It results from the temperature increase. D．It can disturb the stability of lakeecosystems.9. How was the research conducted?A．By doing field investigation. B．By researching previous studies.C．By analyzing long-term satellite data. D．By observing the daily color of the lakes.10. Which word best describes O’Reilly’s attitude to the color change?A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Favourable.11. What’s the authors purpose in writing the text?A．To call on people to protect lakes. B．To introduce a new research method.C．To present the outcome of a research. D．To provide solutions to lakes’ colorchange.Most e-bikes have rechargeable lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, the same that power smartphones and laptops. All these batteries have the potential to fail when damaged,overcharged or operated in extreme temperature conditions. E-bike batteries, though, are much bigger — between 50 to 100 times more — than the ones in our personal electronics,and pose a greater risk.On May 20, a folding bike in a South London apartment began smoking, then within seconds a big fire erupted. According to Dom Ellis, deputy commissioner for the LondonFire Brigade, the bike’s owner purchased it second-hand to commute (通勤) to work and bought an aftermarket battery from an unclear online marketplace.Lithium-ion batteries are popular because they’re easily rechargeable. But if something fails, they can overheat, said Anna Stefanopoulou, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan. This kicks off a bad cycle called thermal runaway. The melting battery materials fuel the flames, sending out more heat, and that heat also creates a flammable (易燃的) gas, she said. In other words, when a battery breaks down, the fire is self-sustaining (自我维持的) and hot.Electric cars also contain lithium-ion batteries, but fires are less common compared with e-bikes. Cars have cooling systems and their batteries are more protected, she said. Any electric vehicle battery replacements would also likely take place through an authorized facility.E-bikes, on the other hand, don’t have temperature regulators and their batteries are more exposed to the environment and possible impact, so minor manufacturing flaws (生产缺陷) can become problems, Stefanopoulou added. She said the cheaper batteries can suffer from flaws and low-quality control.E-bike riders also tend to use their batteries more actively. A huge battery in an electric car can last more than 200 miles, and drivers top them off (加满) regularly. E-bike commuters are used to draining their batteries again and again throughout the week, which can add to the stress.12. Why are e-bike batteries much more dangerous than the ones in personal electronics?A．They are of much larger.B．They are of different materials.C．They are easily overcharged or damaged.D．They are operated in extreme temperature conditions.13. What was the main problem with the folding bike causing a fire on May 20?A．It was purchased from another user second-hand.B．It was produced by an unqualified manufacturer.C．It was already out of date when second-hand bought.D．Its original battery was replaced with an aftermarket one.14. Why are electric car fires less common compared with e-bikes?A．Electric cars seldom use lithium-ion batteries.B．Electric car batteries are not exposed to heat or fires.C．Electric cars are equipped with battery-protection systems.D．Electric cars are equipped with better lithium-ion batteries.15. What can be a suitable title for this text?A．How to Protect E-bike BatteriesB．Why E-bike Batteries Break DownC．Why E-bike Battery Fires Are DeadlyD．How to Prevent Fires from E-bike BatteriesWe love our dogs and always try to take good care of them, but there are some simple things that can be harmful to our pets. 16Playing fetch with sticksMost dogs love playing fetch with sticks. It may be fun to throw one for your dog when you don’t have a ball or rubber toy handy, but they can be extremely dangerous. Sticks can easily break. 17 A stick can also go through a dog’s throat and get stuck there, which can be life threatening.Feeding cooked bonesDogs love eating bones and human leftovers, but cooked bones should never be fed to dogs. They can break into small, sharp pieces. They have the potential to cause choking or cuts to the mouth, throat or gut.If you choose to feed your dog bones, only feed raw bones and always under control. 18Not all dogs can swimDog owners often take it for granted that all dogs can swim, but in fact some dogs may not be able to swim at all. Pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds and similar are often poor swimmers. 19 In order for these dogs to keep their noses and mouths above water they must stick their heads out from under water, which points their back end downwards, making them almost vertical in the water and likely to sink.20 To do this, get in the water with them and support them under the body until they get the hang of using all four legs to push themselves forward. Don’t force your dog if they are not comfortable, and always start by paddling in a shallow area. Many dogs will learn to swim by following other dogs into the water.A Heroic DriverLarry works with Transport Drivers. Inc.

Artificial intelligence(AI)teachers can provide customized teaching for students to meet their unique requirements through analyzing data and deep learning.In the future, they may replace human teachers for basic teaching tasks.Since some students may find it and put new power into traditional teaching patterns.An educational system providing customized teaching centered on students represents the future trend of AI education.China's AI education has developed rapidly in recent years with the rise of several thousand relevant companies.Currently,AI teachers are able to help students leamn pronunciation,analyze their condition,guide them to learn independently,and even grade writing assignments. Some foreign AI educational systems have been introduced into several domestic schools and have worked well on trial.However,the promotion of AI education is still facing several difficulties in practice such as low technological levels,inadequacy of data and lack of funds.AI education still depends largely on human teachers' work.Most importantly,it conflicts with current educational patterns because the courses developed by foreign countries are not suitable for Chinese exam-oriented education.Teachers may also find it hard to change their original roles in classrooms since easing control on classes may make them seem irresponsible.These problems need to be handled before the mass promotion of Al education.With AI teachers,the original teacher-centered classes will be transformed intostudent-centered ones where teachers only organize the class and provide guidance.Since teachers are supposed to not only equip students with knowledge but also shape their values and help themdevelop creative abilities,AI teachers will not replace human teachers but will only pose higher requirements of teaching.A combination of AI teachers and human ones can create the best future for Al education.______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________【答案】AI teachers c atering for students’ personalities can provide students with personalized teaching to meet their needs. China has seen rapid development in AI education in the past years. But many practical problems should be solved before its wide application. Despite the advantages of AI teachers, human ones will never be replaced; instead, both will play their joint roles in the future teaching.The function of AI teachers – the development of AI teachers – the problems of AI teachers before wide application – the role of human teachers with the application of AI teachers【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是概要写作。

天津市瑞景中学2022-2023学年高二下学期期中英语试卷(原卷版+解析版)
【答案】C 【详解】AD．选择汽缸和活塞为整体，那么整体所受的大气压力相互抵消，若外 界大气压增大或者气温升高，弹簧弹力仍等于整体重力，则弹簧长度不发生变化， 活塞距地面的高度不变，故A、D错误；B．选择汽缸为研究对象，竖直向下受重 力和大气压力p0S，向上受到缸内气体向上的压力p1S，气缸竖直方向受力平衡 G+p0S=p1S若外界大气压p0减小，p1一定减小，根据理想气体的等温变化PV=C可 知，当压强减小时，体积一定变大，所以汽缸的上底面距地面的高度将增大，故B 错误；C．若气温升高，缸内气体做等压变化，由盖吕萨克定律V/T=C可知，当温 度升高时，气体体积增大，汽缸上升，则气缸的上底面距地面的高度将增大，故C 正确。故选C。

After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get lastminute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
2022-2023学年黑龙江省大庆实验中学高二下学期期中英语试卷
2022-2023学年黑龙江省大庆实验中学高二下学期期中英语试卷1. People get to know the world by reading news. Here are some pieces of news on what’s happening around the world.Artist recycles rubbish into large trolls(怪物), Ohio, USArtist Thomas Dambo has been making large trolls out of recycled rubbish to highlight how waste can be made into beautiful things. He has built three trolls at the Aullwood Audubon Center, a bird reserve. Its director, Alexis Faust, sa id, “I see the trolls as protectors of the birds and they help remind us that we need to do the same.”Albatrosses(信天翁) break up more often, Falkland IslandsAlbatrosses usually stay with the same partner for life. However, a recent study has found that more and more albatross couples are breaking up. This has been blamed on stress caused by changes in the environment, such as warming water, which means the birds must fly further to find food.Singing robots enter the classroom, Seoul, ROKSeoul, the capital city of ROK, has sent robots to 300 kindergartens to prepare children well for a high-tech future. The Alpha Mini robots can sing, dance and teach kung fu. One class discovered that they could ask their robot to speak on command. Teacher Byun Seo-yeon said the robots would help with children’s creativity.Endangered tigers come back, Yakutin, RussiaAmur tiger footprints have been found in Yakutia Russia, for the first time in 50 years. The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is an endangered species. In the 1940s there were fewer than 50 left in the wild. Conservation efforts have seen its number increases in eastern Russia, from 330 in 2005 to 600 today.1. What is the influence of the trolls?A．More birds will be attracted. B．More rubbish will be made by people.C．More people will visit the bird reserve. D．More people will be reminded to protectbirds.2. Why are singing robots brought to the classroom in ROK?A．To teach children to make music. B．To equip kids with literature.C．To make children exercise more. D．To make children ready for a high-techfuture.3. What do we know about the animals in the text?A．Albatrosses live under threat. B．Siberian tigers are dying out.C．Albatrosses used to fly further to find food. D．There are fewer Siberian tigers than 50 years ago.2. The exact location in France where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work of art has been discovered.A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the artist’s last work, Tee Root, was visi ble on a postcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street.Researchers were given a unique glimpse (体验) into the famous painter’s final hours. He was at work right up to the end.Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, made the discovery. While stuck at home, van de Veen used the extra time to organize the numerous files and documents on van Gogh, including images such as the old postcard from Auvers-sur-Oise. One day in late April, he saw the card on his computer screen and it suddenly struck him that he was looking at the location of Tree Roots. Next to the man and his bicycle, roots and trees are clearly visible. He took a virtual trip down the site using Google’s Street View.“Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name ‘the elephant’ because of its shapes,” van der Veen said. “It was really hiding in overt sight.”The discovery provides tourists with an extra reason to visit Auvers-sur-Oise. “They travel a lot just for one reason — to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where h e painted his last painting,” van der Veen said. “And that’s a very moving thing for a lot of people. So I’m very happy to be able to share that with all those who love van Gogh.”1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．What the postcard revealed. B．How Tree Roots was discovered.C．Why Auvers-sur-Oise became known. D．Where van Gogh painted his works.2. How did van der Veen confirm his discovery?A．He studied a picture of Auvers-sur-Oise.B．He organized his data on van Gogh.C．He traveled to France to see for himself.D．He paid a visit to the spot online.3. What does the underlined word “overt” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Mixed. B．Obvious. C．Lovely. D．Strange.4. What can we infer about tourists to Auvers-sur-Oise?A．They enjoy exploring how to paint. B．They share their love for van Gogh.C．They admire van Gogh very much. D．They want to experience the life there.3. Humans are not the only ones that like gold. Australian scientists have discovered a newfungus(真菌) that decorates its long, thread-like tendrils(卷须) with gold collected from the soil. The experts desperately hope the “gold digger” will provide information on the locations of gold deposits(沉淀物) and make searching for the precious metal easier, and more environmentally friendly.The gold-loving fungus was discovered accidentally by a team of researchers led by Dr. Tsing Bohu, a scientist at Australia national science agency, CSIRO, when they were examining the microbes (微生物) in the soil at Boddington, a tiny town home to Australia's largest gold mine.A closer analysis suggested that the fungus uses chemical interactions with underground minerals to accumulate gold from its surroundings. Though fungi often interact with other things in nature, the reaction with gold was unexpected. “Fungi are well-known for playing an important role in the recycling of organic material, such as leaves and bark, as well as for the cycling of other metals,” Dr. Bohu explained. “But gold is so chemically inactive that this interaction is both unusual and surprisi ng.”The fungi are not wearing the gold for beauty. “There is a biological benefit from this reaction.” Dr. Bohu said, “Gold-loving fungi can grow faster and bigger relative to other fungi that don’t work with gold.”The researchers still need to conduct further analysis to understand the relationship between the fungi and the precious metal. More importantly, they need to determine if its presence is a sure sign of the existence of large deposits of the metal underground. The scientists also believe the fungi could be used to detect the presence of gold in waste products and man-made electronics. However, those hoping to get free gold from the fungi are in for a disappointment, for the delicate fungus is hard to see. Also, its gold can only be seen under a microscope.1. What are the experts eager for?A．Investigating the sites. B．digging the gold mines.C．Getting further informed. D．Unearthing gold deposits.2. What could be learned according to Dr. Bohu?A．Fungi’s interaction with gold is unexpected but beneficial.B．Gold’s classification is biologically identified by fungi.C．Fungi’s formation with gold is fairly natural and frequent.D．Gold is chemically accumulated by fungi’s evolution.3. How does the author find the finding?A．It excites the gold diggers’ motivation.B．It has a long way to go beforeconfirmation.C．It lays the foundation of geologicalD．It ensures the search of gold sites.studies.4. What can be the suitable title for the text?A．Beauty-loving Fungi Wrapped by Gold B．Gold-loving Fungi Discovered inAustraliaC．Boddington, Austria’s Largest Gold Mine D．New Discovery of Gold with Fungi4. Time and time again, I hear someone ask why anyone would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work. I think you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, the book behind the cover.Take the Queen Emma Building for example. While people may remember that building being named as one of the ugliest buildings in town, the angle from which a preservationist will view the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical brise-soleil (遮阳板) to block the sun. The designer used standard concrete bricks to form a decorative wall. Unfortunately, the brise-soleil was removed in 2011, making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town.Sometimes people remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a “very unpleasant” piece of architecture and can’t get over their anger, even when that building becomes an important part of our story. This is particularly true in San Francisco where many preservationists themselves dislike anything newer, than the Victorian era. Yes, it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get tom down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. Should that history be wiped from our memories?Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about conveying pars of our history — not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important.1. How do preservationists see buildings?A．They focus on their value rather than appearance.B．They pay great attention to ancient buildings.C．They are devoted to repairing famous buildings.D．They prefer ugly buildings to beautiful ones.2. What does the author think of removing the brise-soleil of the Queen Emma Building?A．It’s confusing.B．It’s pleasing.C．It’s regrettable.D．It’s unbelievable.3. Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco tom down?A．To wipe the history of the Victorian era.B．To make land available for cheap housing.C．To work off the deep anger of the working class.D．To restore the architecture before the Victorian era.4. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?A．To introduce some buildings with historical value.B．To explain the reason why architects make ugly buildings.C．To praise the work of preservationists.D．To stress the importance of preserving ugly buildings.5. Let’s be real, regulating stress is no easy feat. Stress can appear in many ways on the body if not regulated properly. It can have very obvious appearances such as weight gain and blemishes(斑点)． 1 Whatever the root causes， managing your stress through simple mindfulness practices can help you keep your mental health in check regularly.2 PMR(Progressive Muscle Relaxation) has a ton of benefits like improving sleep quality, and helping improve concentration. Start by putting on loose clothes and find a quiet and comfortable place to lie down. Begin tensing and relaxing your feet, working your way up through your body, focusing on the sensation of the muscle and breathing slowly.The practice Yoga has amazing mental and spiritual benefits too. Yoga by definition means a union. And when you unify the mind and body, you are mindful. 3Walking, hiking, and forest bathing are great ways to clear the mind. Wherever you are, getting fresh air is a critical coping mechanism for regulating our mental health. 4 If you often find yourself stressed during a busy work day, try taking a walk to help take your mind off your tasks for 15 to 30 minutes. Trust me, your body will thank you.Aside from having an outlet to release overpowering thoughts, journaling can help track your mental health progress in an effective way. Through paper and pen, you can trace where your anxiety and negative thoughts stem from. 5 It gives you an open invitation to sit with them, and offers grace and comfort as you intentionally work through them.6.

2022-2023学年广东省广东北江实验中学高二下学期期中考试英语试题1. The Map Of NightKimberley StarrAstronomer Lucy Rutherford lies trapped beneath stars. Her 11-year-old daughter, Gabby, says to her power-hungry father, Justin, that her mother is not away on a work trip but is missing. However, Justin, who is running for political office, ignores Gabby’s concerns. Desperate to hear from her mother, Gabby takes matters into her own hands.The Scrap Iron FlotillaMike CarltonWhen World War Ⅱ broke out, the Australian government sent five ageing WWI navy destroyers to the Mediterranean. Nazi minister Joseph Goebbels teased that they were a load of “scrap iron”. The crews, a mixture of inexperienced sailors and old of ficers, proudly named their fleet the “Scrapiron Flotilla” while displaying great bravery and determination under fire.I Want To Die But I Want To Eat TteokbokkiBaek Se-HeeTteokbokki is simply a Korean comfort food. Baek, a successful social media director, suffers from light depression. This part memoir, part self-help book is a record of the therapy she received in an attempt to find the fundamental causes of her low feelings so she can move in a healthier direction — and reassure others who have similar anxieties that they are not alone.Stone TownMargaret HickeyDetective Senior Sergeant Mark Ariti returns to his home town. The detective’s hopes for a quiet life are quickly interrupted by the murder of a property developer and the disappearance of a female police officer. As Ariti struggles to make sense of the cases, his investigation is threatened by small-town secrets. Like Hickey’s first novel, Cutters End, this equally satisfying thriller has interesting twists.1. Who is the author of The Map Of Night?A．Rutherford. B．Gabby. C．Justin. D．Starr.2. Which will attract readers who are eager to live a healthy life?A．The Map Of Night B．The Scrap Iron FlotillaD．Stone TownC．I Want To Die But I Want To EatTteokbokki3.

In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Ninety-two-year-old Wu Mingzhu, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.“About 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet-melons served at people’s dining tables every day are the result of painful efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said Zhang Wenjun, a colleague of Wu’s.Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (香瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, said Yi Hongping, former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Center.The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honors. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.1. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?A．Because she wanted to make China the largest producer of melons.B．Because China is the largest consumer of melons in the world.C．Because she wanted to create something that could serve people.D．Because Chinese government asked her to grow high quality melons.2. What can we learn about from Paragraph 4?A．Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could resist every disease.B．Wu and her team cultivated high quality melons from the new germ-plasm resources.C．Wu and her team cultivated 30 watermelon varieties from radiation mutation breeding.D．Wu and her team cultivated melon varieties that could adapt to any circumstance.3. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT TRUE from the text?A．She has cultivated more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties.B．She is committed to her work and makes remarkable achievements.C．She helps make China the largest producer of fruit in the world in 2018.D．She is awarded a number of honorary titles due to her contributions.4. What type is the text?A．A diary entry. B．A book review.C．A biography. D．A news report.3. Ever fought with a problem? Picked up a new skill? Encountered a difficult concept? The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps that’s because these phrases suggest something deeper. Researchers are detecting that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.“In the past, people have argued that as we grow, we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地),” says Andrew Manches, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Conventional (传统的) thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity.Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important, suggesting that even if only at the subconscious (潜意识的) level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. Meanwhile, Sunsan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively, if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.1. How did people in the past understand learning?A．The older a student grows, the less likely he will think abstractly.B．Teachers are advised to encourage students to use body gestures.C．Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.D．The physical world never really leaves our thinking.2. How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery?A．By presenting different researches.B．By explaining some rules.C．By making some predictions.D．By analyzing the theory.3. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study?A．People use gestures every time they convey the messages.B．Body movements can incr ease a teacher’s popularity.C．Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.D．Body language is more powerful than spoken language.4. What is the main idea of the text?A．The Language of Learning: A Vital ApproachB．Body Gestures: A Sharp Tool for Fast LearningC．Body Language: A Universal Language SignalD．Thinking Abstractly: A Symbol of Adult World4. Scientists know quite a lot about stars. After centuries of pointing telescopes at the night sky, astronomers and amateurs alike can figure out key traits of any star, such as its mass or its composition.To calculate a star’s mass, just look at the time it takes to orbit a companion star. Then do a bit of calculation. To determine what it’s made of, look to the spectrum of light the sta r sends out. But one question scientists haven’t quite cracked yet is how to calculate the exact time of a star.“The sun is the only star we know the age of,” says astronomer David Soderblom. He works at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. We use what we know about it and how it compares to others, he says, to figure out the age of other stars.Even well-studied stars surprise scientists every now and then. In 2019, the red supergiant Betelgeuse became gradually dark. At the time, astro nomers weren’t sure if this star was just going through a phase. The alternative was more exciting: It might be ready to explode as a supernova. (Turns out it was just a phase.) The sun also shook things up when scientists noticed that it wasn’t behaving like other middle-aged stars. It’s not as magnetically active as other stars of its age and mass. That suggests astronomers still might not fully understand the timeline of middle age.Using physics and indirect measurements, scientists can make a rough est imate of a star’s age. Some methods, it turns out, work better for different types of stars.Why do we even care? Galaxies are huge collections of stars of different ages. Star ages might help us figure out how such galaxies grow and evolve or how planets within them form. Knowing star ages might even assist in the search for life in other solar systems.1. What may scientists want to research about stars most now?A．Their companions. B．Their types.C．Their ages. D．Their characteristics.2. What does the underlined word “cracked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Discussed. B．Described. C．Touched. D．Solved.3. Why is the example in 2019 mentioned?A．To show scientists still have puzzles about stars.B．To prove scientists have studied stars to the full.C．To provide facts for scientists’ researches on stars.D．To warn scientists to notice some surprising stars.4. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．The reasons for caring about the space. B．The significance of researching star ages.C．The ways of measuring a star’s age.D．The benefits of figuring out solar systems.5. Having a negative attitude on life and yourself is harmful to you and to the people around you. 1 But if you are willing to change the way that you view the world and yourself, then there are several things that you can do.2If you believe the world is a bad place, you will probably tend to have a negative attitude. As such, if you can work on changing your beliefs about the world, your attitude will likely follow suit. So tryto look for evidence that is contrary to the belief that you hold.Examine your ideas about the world.Your negative ideas about the world may cause you to act a certain way and this can determine the result of some situations. 3 And each time one of your predictions comes true, your negative views are reinforced. For example, if you think that the world is a cold, mean place and so you are cold and mean to people. As a result, people may be cold and mean to you in return.Take responsibility for your attitude.You have a lot of control over the way you think about the world. Try to keep that in mind and use it to your advantage. 4 Remember that although you may not be able to change your situation sometimes, you can still change how you react to them by adopting one kind of attitude over another.Re-frame your focus.In some sense, much of reality is personal, such as whether you enjoy what you are doing or not. This largely depends on the thoughts that you emphasize and focus on. For example, if you do not much enjoy your job, you might think with a bad attitude “This really sucks”. 56.

辽宁省沈阳市铁路实验中学高二英语下学期期中试题高二英语时间：100分钟满分：120分第Ⅰ卷（选择题共85 分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn the movie Jurassic Park, scientists clone dinosaurs by using the DNA that was preserved for millions of years. However, there is trouble when the cloned dinosaurs turn out fiercer and smarter than expected. Can dinosaurs really be cloned? Theoretically, they can; all that would be required is DNA from an extinct dinosaur and a currently living closely related species which would act as a surrogate mother (代孕母亲). In fact, there is continuing research to clone the Woolly Mannoth by extracting (提取) the DNA from frozen animals.Actually, cloning is a phenomenon that occurs naturally in a wide variety of species. Whenever you see a pair of identical twins, they are examples of nature’s clones. Although scientists have been cloning certain plants like the carrot quite successfully for decades, attempts at cloning animals have not been as successful. However, they began long before the birth of Dolly, the sheep—the first mammal to be successfully cloned.Cloning humans does give rise to some misgivings, raising a number of moral problems involved. In fact, the social influences of producing humans artificially were brilliantly explored in the famous novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and also in the movie The Island.Human cloning is basically about creating a genetically (基因地)identical copy of a previously existing person. Why would some people choose to clone human beings? Well, generally, it could make couples unable to have babies have their own children. Replacing a dead child is also another reason why some people have expressed interest in the technology.We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.A. More and more people are interested in cloningB. Cloning has saved many animals from dying outC. Cloning has a very short historyD. Cloning plants is much easierIn what way is human cloning useful?A. It can bring a dead person back to life.B. It makes it possible to replace a dead child.C. It can help cure some human diseases.D. It can help people have more healthy children. What does the underlined word “misgivings” in the third paragraph mean?A. Worries.B. Aims.C. Regulations.D. Principles.What attitude do people have towards human cloning?A. They think human cloning is useless.B. They believe it can help humans in many ways.C. They believe it can cause many moral problems.D. They doubt whether it can succeed or not. BIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still abright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic — and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.What can we learn about the author from paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-minded.CThe national park service in the United States will mark its one hundred anniversary in 2016. As it nears its second century, the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit natio nal parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been the world’s first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge. Nature Bridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary andsays one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast Center with a four-million -dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in Nature Bridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope. Jason Morris, executive vice president of NatureBridge says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors.Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. And one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation.The text is intended to tell us that _______A. the National Park Service will celebrate its 100th anniversaryB. more educational programs will be started in national parksC. NatureBridge plans to work with the National Park ServiceD. students are encouraged to learn about nature and historyWhich is the following is TRUE of the National Park Service?A. It plans to make NatureBridge its branch.B. It provides programs for college students.C. It was established earlier than Yellowstone.D. It offered some educational programs before. According to the text, NatureBridge _______.A. finances all the programs aloneB. is aimed at laboratory activitiesC. has benefited quite a lot of studentsD. provides online field science programsWhat will be further talked about after the last paragraph?A. Ways to raise money.B. Budget cuts.C. Nature interpretations.D. Better services. DPlan on traveling around the USA? There are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.http://www.101usaholidays This is the latest offering that features 101holiday ideas to the USA. It’s a diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California’s Napa Valley. Narrow down what you’re looking for —whether by price, region, theme and who will be traveling —and then just the photos of hte relevant holidays remain on view. It’s a really clever design.The National Senic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural scenic routes, such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history (such as Route 66) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you’re provided with a map telling the route’s length and how long is allowed.This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and tourist sites. There are photos of each hotel. Importantly, these are not promotional photos provided by the hotels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by inspectors. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrowdown what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.http:// SeaWorld in San Diego can make dreams come true, but the price is not affordable for the majority of people. So turn to long-established , giving big discounts on tickets, hotels and dining at SeaWorld.The text is probably from ________.A. a science reportB. a news articleC. a travel brochureD. a book reviewTravel ideas for wine lovers are available at ________.A. http://www.101usaholidays B. C. D. What can be inferred from the text?A. You can see some man-made attractions driving along Route 66.B. The National Scenic Byways Program covers all American roads.C.

Our home was far, far away from any town or city, but that was the way we liked it.Some winters, it got so cold that the river would freeze, which was unusual for water like that, water which ran so fast and deep. It felt as though time had stopped near the river, and so it had decided to become solid, settling in to wait for spring. We liked to skate on that river, my grandfather and I, even though the ice was uneven and his brown leather skates was so old.One night, in the most frigid winter my young mind could recall, long after I should have been asleep, I caught my grandfather sneaking out of the front door, his ancient leather skates in his hands. He looked sheepish when he saw me, like I had caught him doing something silly, but I was so young that I thought no adult could ever do wrong. Especially not my grandfather, because he was the model of wisdom in my eyes.“Grandpa, where are you going?” I asked.“Skating on the river.”“Why would you go out now? We did that yesterday morning.”He looked a little thoughtful, and then he said: “It’s just that when you go out there, on the coldest, stillest night of the year, and you lie on your back on the thick, bubbled river ice, you can hear them.”“Hear who?”“The fish. Trapped there under the ice. You can hear them singing their water y winter song. And if you hold your breath, you can almost hear the stars singing in harmony.”4．What does the underlined word “sheepish” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Calm. B．Quiet. C．Frightened. D．Embarrassed. 5．Why did my grandfather slip out that cold midnight?A．To breathe some fresh air in the forest.B．To enjoy the charm of a peaceful night.C．To catch the fish trapped under the ice.D．To perfect his skating skills by practice.6．What can we infer from the text?A．I admired my grandfather for his wisdom.B．My grandfather likes to singing with starsC．Skating on the uneven ice is our favourite sport.D．A fast-flowing river has never frozen in midwinter.7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To describe the joy of fisting in the wild.B．To highlight how embracing nature can purify us.C．To explain why skating is such an appealing sport.D．To record the good relationship with his grandfather.On December 16, 2023, the first section of Maya Train officially opened, which runs between Campeche and Cancún, carrying up to 231 passengers across 290 miles and stopping at 14 train stations.Built as an ambitious effort to promote tourism and boost Mexico’s economy, the rail system connects the major cities and tourist regions of the Yucatán Peninsula —from Cancún’s beaches to Tulum’s archaeological wonders. Once the project is completed, the entire rail systemwill link tourist destinations across five states. However, environmentalists and archaeologists argue that the train route will cause great damage to the environment-and ancient Mayan sites.The Maya Train passes through six UNESCO World Heritage sites and thousands of archaeological sites. One particular area of concern is the Calakmul biosphere reserve, which is home to many endangered species, such as jaguars and over 500 other animal species. The train lines, more than 60 meters wide, could act as artificial barriers that may limit the movement of these animals within the reserve making it difficult for them to move around and access food and water sources.Opponents also express safety concerns. Certain sections of the rail system will be built right on top of the aquifer’s(含水层的) most fragile points of contact with the surface. “It’s like wanting to build over eggshells,” says Guillermo Christy, a water treatment consultant. “Putting trains weighing thousands of tons on top could cause the underground caves to crash down.” To construct the train infrastructure also requires driving long piles deep into the ground, which poses a big threat to this fragile ecosystem and leads to water shortages.In the ongoing debate of Maya Train, it is crucial to consider the delicate balance between economic development and environmental preservation. While Maya Train may provide economic benefits, we must not overlook the potential environmental and cultural losses, as well as the safety risks it may bring. Achieving harmony between progress and conservation may be a significant challenge for the project, but we must take into account the long-term consequences of our actions.8．What do we know about the Maya Train project?A．It consumes lots of labor in Mexico.B．It has concerned some professionals.C．It was completed on December 16,2023.D．It blocks the development of local tourism.9．What effect do the train lines have on the animals in the reserve?A．Restricting their activities.B．Polluting their water sources.C．Disturbing their sleeping patterns.D．Attracting their enemies to the area.10．Why does the author mention “eggshells” in Paragraph 4?A．To show the difficulty of constructing the rail lines.B．To prove the urgency of protectıng the fr agile ecosystem.C．To explain the reasons for water shortages along the railway.D．To stress Maya Train’s potential harm to the aquifer system.11．Which statement would the author probably agree with?A．Preserving cultural sites requires strong financial support.B．It is time to speed up the con truction process of Maya Train.C．We should value the economic benefits of the project in the long run.D．Economic development should not come at the cost of the environment.Power often boosts an employee’s creati vity because being powerful liberates the individual from restrictions. However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.“This is important because when people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power, which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances.” said Brian Lucas, assistant professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said.Lucas and his colleagues conducted two studies to reach their conclusion. In the first study, they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted. Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power). The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round. There was no difference, though, in creativity in the second round.In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased thenumber of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task. Similar to the first study, the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round. But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.“The low-power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that empowers all employees to tap their creative potential and overcomes power imbalances in the workplace: when pursuing creative work. let employees warm up first,” Lucas said.12．Why is it important to boost lower-power workers’ creativity according to Lucas?A．It stimulates power balances.B．It motivates their ambition to catch up.C．It encourages a harmonious workplace.D．It creates a competitive work environment.13．How did the participants feel the power in the first study?A．By competing with leaders.B．By receiving different positions.C．By working in different working conditions.D．By finishing a creative task with time limits.14．How did the second study differ from the first study?A．It had more rounds.B．More participants were involved.C．Participants had a more complicated task.D．Participants’ creativity gap becam e wider.15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Power tends to encourage creative ideas.B．Changing tasks boosts all the employees’ creativity.C．Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances.D．Low-power individuals outperform the high-power ones.Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement.In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education. 16 Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice object s and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities.17 This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to expe rience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions.18 The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic values.It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. 19 Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed.Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. 20A．Aesthetic qualities have to be felt.B．Beauty can be found all around us.C．The beautiful will be likely to be created.D．And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon.E．In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities.F．This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful.G．This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists.二、完形填空It was a winter afternoon when I tripped over a high kerb(马路牙子).

A song called Lonely Warrior (《孤勇者》) is always ringing in my ears. Six years ago, after hosting an annual ceremony for my school, I found that my left leg was a little swollen, and very soon I could barely walk. In fact, the swollen part became a fist-sized meatball that was so painful that I could barely sleep. Of course, I went to a local hospital, where I was given very bleak (不乐观的) news-osteosarcoma, which means bone cancer.I underwent chemotherapy (化疗) for the next two years, and it was the worst time of my life. Physically, I felt that the side effects of chemotherapy were killing me. I lost all of the hair on my body and I became totally bald. I could barely eat anything, even if felt hungry. I no longer needed an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Instead, what woke me was my body telling me that I needed to vomit (呕吐).I had no idea where all this treatment would leave me, and the dreams I had once nursed about the future were entirely wiped out. I wanted to feel the world and experience more, so I stuck to the course of treatment. As time went by, however, I became weaker and weaker. The side effects now were far worse than they had been earlier.I eventually suggested that the leg be chopped off, and the doctor said that might be the best thing to do, as long as I could cope with the psychological and social pressures afterward. I made my decision very calmly, because I knew things could not be worse than they were at that moment, and I was determined that this was just one more battle I would win.Now, six years later, I have weathered all these difficulties. I have been so lucky to be able to find the strength to deal with all of this, and what I have to tell anyone still struggling with difficulties is this: have faith in yourself, and do not let bad moments drag you down. Just hang on and you will come through.1. What can we learn about the side effects of chemotherapy?A．They made the author suffer a lot.B．They destroyed the author’s faith.C．They were relieved after treatment.D．They were more obvious in the daytime2. What was the author’s decision to deal with his condition?A．Chopping off his leg.B．Turning down the doctor’s advice.C．Giving in to the cancer.D．Seeking psychological assistance.3. What does the underlined word“weathered”in the last paragraph mean?A．resisted B．survived C．escaped D．produced4. What does the author want to convey in the text?A．A light heart lives long.B．A good medicine tastes bitter.C．Time works wonders.D．One with faith braves any hardship.3. Zoologists track animals using global-positioning-system(GPS)tags(标签) which then return their data via satellite. Marine(海洋的)biologists have a harder time of it, though, because radio signals can’t pass through seawater. This makes it impossible either to receive GPS signals or to send any data collected back to base.That does not stop people tagging sea creatures. Data collected and stored in a tag can be sent to a satellite in bursts if the species in question is one that comes to the surface from time to time. A tag may also be recovered if the animal carrying it is caught by a fishing boat. Fisherfolk are typically paid a few hundred dollars per tag returned to its home laboratory.None of these methods, though, keeps accurate track of where the animal carrying the tag has been. For these and other reasons, it would therefore be useful to have a marine equivalent of GPS. And one is now being employed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, hopes to fill the seas with sonic beacons(声波信标) that will play the role of GPS satellites.The sea is divided into distinct layers that have different temperatures. During the Second World War, American scientists showed that some of these layers act as sonic waveguides. They called them “sound fixing and ranging” (sofar) channels. Sound sent out in one of these channelsechoes(回响) between the layers above and below, thus staying in the channel. Thus constrained(被约束)，a sound wave can travel hundreds of kilometers before it becomes too weak to detect.The sofar transmitters from Woods Hole are usually at an appropriate depth for the channel concerned. Every 12 hours they broadcast a 32-second-long location signal known as a pong. Pongs are so called because they are similar to sonar “pings”, but of lower frequency. In typical conditions a pong can be picked up 1,000 km away. By listening to the pongs from several beacons a receiver can calculate its location. Existing receivers for the two sofar transmitters are currently carried on free-floating instrument packs. But the plan is to have two more transmitters this year, and more in future years.1. Which sea creatures can GPS tags be applied to?A．Those feeding on other sea animals.B．Those following fishing boats constantly.C．Those coming out of the sea sometimes.D．Those swimming deep under the water.2. Why do sofar channels function?A．The echoes among them are weak.B．The water has a high temperature over there.C．The layers among them are quite similar.D．The sound remains there and stays strong for a while.3. What makes pings different from pongs?A．Pings are of higher frequency.B．Pings can travel faster than pongs.C．Pings can be received 1,000 km away.D．Pings are broadcasted every 32 seconds.4. What would be the best title for the text?A．Tags for sea creaturesB．“GPS” for the oceansC．Strange deep sea creaturesD．Data from distant satellites4. Many public museums have complex climate control systems to preserve the works in their care. Those technologies, including climate monitors and air conditioning, normally work unnoticed 24 hours a day. But now, as the rising prices of gas and electricity in Europe pose an immediate danger to museum finances, and with a growing awareness of their impact on the climate, some of the world’s biggest museums are beginning to act.Over the past year, major museums have relaxed their standards and allowed a wider range of temperatures and humidity levels in some galleries, saving them thousands of dollars a month. They have conducted months of trials to prove the changes don’t endanger the items.Yet in the rooms where borrowed items are on show, the old strict standards still apply. Loan agreements with other museums and private collectors mean those galleries must remain tightly climate-controlled, hampering institutions’ effort to lower energy bills and emissions.The idea that art must be displayed in a climate-controlled environment is relatively new, said Southwick at the Vatican Museums. Masterpieces used to hang in unheated churches or palaces, shesaid. Some of the first museums to adopt climate-control technologies were in the U.S., with the Yale University Art Gallery fixing a steam-powered heating system in 1874.Temperature and humidity controls became commonplace after World War II, especially after conservators at the British Museum and the National Gallery, in London, published a series of influential books prescribing(规定)the conditions to protect masterpieces in that chilly, damp city. Soon those ideas were applied everywhere, eventually becoming the standard for museum loans.In December, the British government cancelled minimum temperature requirements for works covered by its art insurance program, to help museums save money during a cold winter. It’s hopeful that museums will change their tight climate standards for the sake of the planet as well as themselves.1. What action do the world’s bi ggest museums begin to adopt?A．Seeking active cooperation with other museums.B．Turning to more energy-efficient reserving means.C．Loosening their standards for keeping the works.D．Lending their works to other museums for display.2. What prevents public museums from lowering energy bills and emissions?A．The borrowed items.B．Private museums.C．Climate-controlled technologies.D．Loan agreements.3. When did climate-control technologies become popular?A．When the first museums came into being.B．When the standard was published in London.C．When Britain cancelled the standard for loans.D．When Yale University Art Gallery fixed a heating system.4. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．Museums are taking action to cut costs.B．Loose conditions preserve works better.C．Museums are designed to save energy.D．Old rules come to life for protection.5. Separation, money troubles, and transitional (过渡的) adjustments are all stressful events to the members of a family. Learning effective skills is key to solving the disagreements.Schedule a time to talk as a group. When working together, you are more likely to solve family differences. 1 . Then, once tempers are cooled, everyone needs to plan to come together and think out a solution to the problem .Focus on the issue at hand. When disagreements occur, people tend to bring up any and every unresolved issue they have ever faced with the other parties. This blurs the point of the discussion. Try to uncover what is important about the current problem. 2 .Have everyone state what they truly mean. Direct communication is essential to effective conflict resolution. 3 . Such “I” statements allow everyone to express themselves while they show respectfo r other’s listening.4 . Let another know you recognize, value, and accept his thoughts, opinions, or beliefs. Of course, your own opinions may differ greatly, but using validation (确认) demonstrates that you see the other as a human, worthy of respect. Validate your family members by saying something like “I’m really glad that you feel comfortable enough to share this with me” or “I appreciate your willingness to work towards a solution”.Decide on a solution together. Once everyone has shared their needs, wants, and concerns, consider all the suggestions that each party has provided and look for a middle ground. 5 . If necessary, develop a contract or written agreement .6. On Christmas of 2017, I was born again. We like to spend our Christmas holidays somewhere warm abroad, and that year we_________Uganda.

The Art of War, by Sun Tzu
When I applied to graduate school, I decided I would be selective about theoptions I pursued rather than casting abroad net. I realized that rather than setting plans in stone, sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound exactly perfect at the time, and make the most of them. And I’ve learned to look at each rejection as are direction instead.

实验中学2011-2012高二下学期期中考试英语试卷第一部分语言知识及应用(共两节，满分50分)第一节完形填空（每小题2分，共30分）When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 1 to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for 2 learners, none of my classmates had one， and to be honest, I found it extremely 3 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the 4 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 5 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt 6 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, 7 that monolingual dictionaries are 8 in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is , in fact, often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two 9 in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 10 that a Chinese "equivalent" can never give you the 11 meaning of a word in English!

Everyone in the family should know how to use them.Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:★Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.★ Stay close to the floor!
