得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二英语上学期开学考试试题满分：120分时间：120分钟一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIf feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War? She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?”she bemoans all the time. Her co worker’s son received a f our year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co worker’s son.I can’t be like him.I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’sstudies. B. The writer’s future job.C. Dinnerplans.D. Wars around the world.2.

Early Action is a great choice for the well-prepared student. Students apply early, and are allowed to apply under an Early Action program to as many colleges as they choose. The biggest advantage for students is that colleges let them know early –in most cases, before Jan 1. Roughly 15 percent of colleges and universities offer an Early Action option(选择). Oct 15 is now the first deadline for many colleges and universities. This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way. North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia all have an Oct 15 Early Action deadline.who are accepted must take back their other applications and should attend that school. Students are allowed to apply to just one school under an Early Decision program. Early Decision deadlines are in early November, with colleges letting students know by mid-December. Many students believe that they are more likely to be accepted if they apply for Early Decision, but it actually depends.In some cases there is big increase in students being accepted, and at other colleges it is not that big at all. Generally, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early DecisionChoose the best answer:5. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?A. To explain the process of applying to study in the US.B. To describe two types of US college early admissions programs.C.

Albert often crosses the border like the other half-dozen people of Township 15. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 Americans in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs(海关) stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces thepeople to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.9. We learn from the text that Richard Albertis .A. an American working in a Canadian churchB. a Canadian living in a Quebec villageC. a Canadian working in a customs stationD. an American living in Township 1510. Albert was fined because he .A. broke the American security rulesB. failed to obey traffic rulesC. worked in St. Pamphile without a passD. damaged the gate of the customs office11.What would be the best title for the text?A. A Cross-country TripB. An Expensive Church VisitC. An Unguarded BorderD. A Special Border Pass D Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese, manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, wi th 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping---big-box retailers(零售商)especially---in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive(广泛的) the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.12. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in _________.A. its big sizeB. its business-to-business serviceC. its not charging small sellersD. its low price13. We know from the passage that Alibaba___________.A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sitesB .Alibaba will continue to developC. Alibaba stands out as the best online siteD. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers14. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author’s Chin ese teacher is also an online purchase lover.B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.C. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail now.D. provides more profit than Taobao.15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Shopping online is TaoBao.B. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.C. Alibaba greatly influences people’s daily purchase in China.D. How the author purchases online in China.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Time is the most valuable thing that mankind has. 16 . Many peopletry to manage their time.

He has autism (自闭症). In theory, the vision statement is a lovely idea — an opportunity for parents to express the future they plan for their child five years down the road. In reality, as Ethan grew up and his limitations became clearer, I found it harder every year to write the short paragraph.This year, as Ethan completed his final year in the school system, we signed Ethan up to work at a local farm that employs young adults with disabilities assuming it would go the way he always has. He’d be interested at first, then bored, and then — because he was bored — silly and unsafe around the equipment in a way that would get him removed from the program. It was his pattern and if there’s anything we’ve learned, autistic kids love repeating their patterns.Surprisingly, after a year, we were told he’d made it onto a landscaping team. “What do you do in the team?” we asked. Eth an listed a few machines we assumed he was watching other people operate. We’ve lived with Ethan for 21 years. We know his limitations.At our last meeting for the vision statement, a man from the farm read a report on Ethan. Ethan was operating those machines, safely and effectively, along with the final line: “Ethan makes us laugh every day.” I could hardly believe it.Ethan wrote his own vision statement this year. He read it aloud:“I plan to work at Prospect Meadow Farm until I retire and live. at home with my family aslong as I can. My goals for the future are to learn how to drive a lawn mower (割草机).”I had tears in my eyes. Not simply because Ethan had made his own entirely reasonable vision statement, but because it involved the part of his present life that brings him joy. After years of making up visions for a future we never honestly thought possible, Ethan was offering one that was both hopeful and extremely simple: I want my life to keep looking the way it does NOW. 4．How did the author feel about writing a vision statement for her son?A．It was difficult.B．It was boring.C．It was annoying.D．It was embarrassing.5．Why does the author mention Ethan’s pattern in paragraph 2?A．To show her concern for Ethan’s safety.B．To show her familiarity with autistic kids.C．To show her low expectations for Ethan’s farm job.D．To show her special responsibility as Ethan’s parent.6．How did Ethan behave on the farm?A．He went beyond his limits.B．He made silly mistakes.C．He liked watching others working.D．He could hardly get along with others.7．Which statement will the author probably agree with?A．Success is built on failure.B．Never lose faith in your high goals.C．Family support helps to develop confidence.D．The future should look like the best parts of the present.OpenAI has introduced Sora, an advanced Al model designed to make videos from written descriptions or pictures. This represents OpenAI’s move into the video creation area, joining other leading companies and new businesses. Sora stands out by making high-quality videos that can show complex scenes with many characters, different movements, and detailed backgrounds. It can also improve existing videos by filling in missing parts, showing its strong grasp of language and understanding of the real world.Sora can make videos in a variety of styles, including photorealistic and cartoon, lasting up to a minute-much longer than what is typically possible with current text-to-video technology. Demonstrations by OpenAI show Sora’s ability to produce videos that tell clear stories and show deep emotions, avoiding typical mistakes made by AI. However, even with its advanced features, Sora has its challenges. It may have trouble mimicking (模仿) the natural laws of complex scenes or showing actions and their outcomes correctly, like a cookie not having a bite mark.Aware of the risks of misuse, OpenAI bas not released Sora for general use. The organization stresses the need for careful development and use of AI, aiming to stop negative uses. For this, OpenAI is looking into ways to verify videos made by Sora and is talking with lawmakers, teachers, and artists to address concerns and find positive ways to use the technology.As Sora marks a significant improvement in AI-made video technology, OpenAI is dedicated to developing it safely and ethically. The company recognizes the difficulty in predicting all the ways such technology might be used or misused, highlighting the value of learning from actual use to develop safer AI systems over time.8．What does the term “photorealistic” most closely mean in the context of the article?A．Art-like B．Life-like C．Abstract D．Simplistic 9．According to the article, what typical AI mistakes is Sora able to avoid when generating videos?A．Producing excessively long videos.B．Creating videos with a singular style.C．Making common AI errors.D．Generating videos without any storyline. 10．What is the primary reason OpenAI has not made Sora publicly available, based on the article?A．The technology is not yet perfected.B．Concerns over potential dangers.C．The video quality does not meet standards D．The cost of video production is too high 11．What is the author’s attitude towards Sora?A．Objective.B．Doubtful.C．Negative.D．Critical.Microplastics, as the name implies, are tiny plastic particles found in the environment. Any plastic particle that has a diameter of less than 5 mm is considered to be microplastic. For a long time, a majority of people were unaware of the presence of microplastics and their effects on the environment. However, these particles have become a significant topic of debate in recent times after researchers noted their presence in almost every corner of the globe. from Mount Everest tothe Mariana Trench.There are two categories of microplastics: primary and secondary. Primary microplastics are tiny particles meant for external commercial use such as cosmetics, as well as microfibers to make other textiles, such as fishing nets. Secondary microplastics are particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic items, such as water bottles.There are various sources of microplastics. Wastewater treatment plants and sewage treatment plants are the major sources of primary microplastics, most of which are residues (残留物) of cosmetics, paint, household and industrial waste. Single-use plastics plastic items meant to be used just once and then discarded, such as a straw — are the main source of secondary plastics in the environment.The problem with microplastics is that like plastic items of any size they do not readily break down into harmless molecules. Plastics can take hundreds or thousands of years to decompose (降解). That means once produced, we cannot get rid of them. Microplastics exist on beaches and deeper waters, and have been detected in marine organisms from plankton to whales, in commercial seafood, and even in drinking water. They are mistaken for food by marine animals and some plastics are so tiny that they end up in the animal tissues. They are passed across the food chain, and some find their way to humans.Scientists are still unsure whether consumed microplastics are harmful to human or animal health and if so, what specific dangers they may pose. Even so, many countries are taking action to reduce microplastics in the environment. The best approaches to controlling microplastics include proper handling of plastics and thorough treatment of wastewater.12．According to the first two paragraphs, microplastics are_________A．common in our daily lifeB．used to make glass bottlesC．found in all the uninhabited areasD．tiny plastic particles with a diameter of 5mm13．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．The use of straws should be forbidden.B．Household waste contains microplastics.C．Industrial waste is a source of secondary plasticsD．Wastewater and sewage treatment plants are useless.14．Why do microplastics end up in the tissues of marine animals?A．Because they’re consumed as food.B．Because they exist on the beaches.C．Because they easily break down.D．Because they’re left out in the food chain.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To analyze the sources of microplastics.B．To warn people of the danger of microplastics.C．To give an overall introduction to microplastics.D．To persuade people to give up the use of microplastics.We generally have goals over the course of a day or week, and can check them off our lists with little difficulty. 16 What if we have goals set for us by our boss that we need to achieve but just can’t seem to get to? What if you’ve procrastinated (拖延) too long on your goals and now you don’t even know where to start?* Define the goalIdentifying the goal and deciding if it is still possible to do it is the first step. 17 There may be circumstances that prevented you from getting it done. Or maybe some other reason that needs to be addressed. Don’t waste time being hard on yourself. Just start where you are now and see what you can do from this point onward.* 18Begin with prioritizing the steps you’ll need to develop a reliable plan. Gathering the tools or skills you will need is a good place to start. Remember to ask for clarity if there is something standing in the way of understanding the project. Write out a schedule to ensure you are using your time and energy in a way that will work for you.* Establish new habits19 Make steps toward progress every day to keep going. Rewards may strengthen your efforts. Internal rewards might include feeling good about yourself, less stress, and accountability. Some examples of external rewards could be that you get paid for the job orreceive some recognition for the work you’ve done.* Take actionBecome a doer by removing excuses and making a committed decision to attain your goal. Breaking your tasks down to individual steps can help you stay focused on the process. But with all of your planning, education, tools, and instructors, the bottom line is you have to find a way to get going and do it. 20 And what you learn along the way might just surprise you. A．Make a new planB．Reassess your directionC．Then ask yourself why you didn’t do it.D．Some are short-term and are achieved quickly and easily.E．If you really want to achieve your goals, there’s no replacement for action.F．But what about the bigger goals we don’t really want to do in the first place?G．Forming a habit requires repetition of the desired new action over a period of time.二、完形填空Krista Sheneman was diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病) around five years ago.

I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.4．Why does the author mention the Wilsons?A．To show how the couple grew old together.B．To picture what she will be like when she ages.C．To tell the story of the old couple.D．To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee5．What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss?A．She meant to share instead of serving B．She planned to have the boss serve her later.C．She intended to play a trick on her mean boss D．She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again6．What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragraph?A．Annoyed.B．Shocked.C．Confused.D．Excited.7．What can we learn about the author from the text?A．She figured out how to show respect for her superior.B．She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.C．She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.D．She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.Most people think that weeds are something to be pulled up and thrown away. Now, purslane (马齿苋) may be the key to creating drought resistant crops in a world that is getting warmer.Scientists at Yale University found that purslane can create a new form of photosynthesis (光合作用) that allows this weed to endure drought conditions. “This is a very rare ‘super plant’ — one that could be potentially useful in crop engineering.” said Edwards, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.Purslane actually enhances its photosynthesis efficiency to match the high levels found in plants like corn, which enables it to maintain productivity under high temperatures. On the other hand, this plant employs a special way of photosynthesis. It stores carbon dioxide at night and uses it during the day, which makes it remarkably resistant to heat. The uniqueness of purslane lies inthese two characteristics. Yale team conducted an analysis of the genes in the leaves of the plant and found that they are totally integrated and operate in the same cells. Understanding how this works could allow scientists to engineer main crops like corn to resist long-lasting droughts.Growing across the US, purslane has small round leaves, and red, yellow, or pink flowers. You can plant it in your garden just about anywhere. With its sour-salty taste, it is a healthy food rich in vitamins, minerals, and Omega-3s. You can enjoy it raw in salads or cooked as a dish.“In terms of engineering the plant into a crop like corn, there is still a lot of work to do before that could become a reality,” Edwards said in the news release. Finding and growing new food crops that can survive the effects of climate change is a win-win for a planet that is getting hotter and drier. Who knew this common weed could be the key?8．What makes purslane a “super plant” according to Paragraph 2?A．Its unique taste and color.B．Its ability to grow anywhere.C．Its high capacity in storing water.D．Its uncommon way of photosynthesis. 9．What is the advantage of purslane’s storing carbon dioxide at night?A．Increasing its productivity.B．Helping it to resist drought.C．Allowing it to grow faster.D．Reducing its need for sunlight.10．What can we learn about purslane as food?A．It is rich in nutrition.B．It is not widely accepted.C．It is not suitable in salads.D．It is mainly cooked as a dish.11．What is the main purpose of the text?A．To promote the planting of purslane.B．To warn readers of the danger of the weed.C．To describe different types of photosynthesis.D．To show purslane’s potential in crop engineering.Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific messagemeanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”12．Chimps slap the objects to____________.A．tell others to stop what they are doing B．ask others chimps to join themC．gather other chimps to move closer D．encourage interactions to start13．What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A．Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B．Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C．Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.D．Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.14．How is the last paragraph developed?A．By analyzing causes.B．By examining differences.C．By making comparisons.D．By following time order.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A New Research on Chimps B．Human Children and ChimpsC．Getting the Chimps Trained for Language D．Translating the Sign Language ofChimpsIt’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news. Like, would you rather bite into a lemon, or sip on a fresh glass of lemonade?16 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert (警觉的) to what’s going on around us. While reading traditional, more negative news is important, consuming good news is also part of staying informed. 17 And it also brings meaningful benefits, like reduced stress and anxiety, higher rates of engagement, community building skills, and inspiration for creating a better world. Plus, knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.In fact, good news, known as solutions journalism, is becoming more popular, as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories. Good Good Good is one of them. 18 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.“If it bleeds, it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence, death and destruction draw readers’ attention.19 The thing is, however, there’s also good stuff out there — the delightful and kind parts of humanity. “Beautiful stories are happening worldwide. 20 When you do find them, the world can suddenly feel like a very different place. Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world’s problems.” Hervey, one of Good Good Good’s editors said.A．Share good news with people around you.B．It’s just that we don’t hear as much about them.C．But the “bad news” has its place in the world.D．It provides a more balanced view of the world.E．And so, negative news stories are everywhere on news media.F．Heartwarming stories make you cry and feel good.G．The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally.二、完形填空This year, hundreds of people around the world are applying for a desired job to run Port Lockroy, the world’s most remote post office.

So many elderly people have no one to care for them, and no one to love them. When I say this, I am talking about pure love, unconditional love that shows kindness no matter what the situations may be.The elderly have smoothed the pathway of success for our generation. They should be shown appreciation（感激）and kindness, but are often forgotten. I am are all of you have someone in your hearts who has been at a nursing home. Think of them while I say this; they should get the best, nothing but the best. The elderly are such an unusual group of people, and their shining wisdom can most certainly be learned from. This idea of showing appreciation to the elderly reverberated（回响）inside my head, until finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.My love for and ability in writing led me to create an organization, wherepeople from all across the world send nameless letters filled with kindness and joy, from Iceland, Romania, Finland, Australia, and more. I then send these letters to senior centers, and nursing homes located all across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1, 000 letters, and the reaction I have received from these organizations has been truly unbelievable.This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness competition to help my organization. This money has been of great help. We do not receive much money, and so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This act of kindness has been very helpful to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative. If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly. org.24. Why did the author set up his organizationA. To help the elderly with their daily life.B. To organize activities for the elderly.C. To offer true love to the elderly.D. To raise money for the elderly.25. Which of the following agrees with the author's opinion about the elderlyA. They are being treated well.B. They should end up in senior centers.C. They are wiser than the young.D. They don't get enough attention.26. What helped the author create his organizationA. The letters received worldwide.B. His writing ability.C. His family's encouragement.D. The support from senior centers.27. What can be learned from the last paragraphA. The author doesn't have much money.B. The elderly were very thankful to the author.C. The author turned to KindSpring for help.D. The organization can't be larger.CAs you probably know, learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging. But it can also be fun We spend hundreds of hours at school trying to get our tongues round different vocabulary and grammar in order to earn a qualification. But learning to speak a second language is more than just passing an exam—it opens doors to new opportunities, helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium. German and French have fallen the most-these languages from two of the UK's closest trading partners have declined at GCSE level. Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options. There are some reasons for this, including many students'opinion that languages are difficult. Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.Matthew Fell, chief UK policy director for business group the CBI, believes that “The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed, or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world.” But even for those who are eager to study another language the opportunity is being reduced. In Scotland, for example, foreign language subjects are being pressed out of many secondary school timetables with some head teachers blaming pressure on the curriculum.However, some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue Cassandra Scott, from Edinburgh, studied three languages in her final year at school. She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh, and says “Learning languages at school really set the course for my career.”28. How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languagesA. By offering background information.B. By giving specific examples.C. By analyzing underlying reasons.D. By showing personal research.29 What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 meanA. Developed rapidly.B. Pushed quickly.C. Changed completely.D. Maintained properly.30. What can we learn from the passageA. A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.B. Learning languages at school may contribute to one's future career.C. Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.D. With the translation technology, there's no need to learn foreign languages.31. What's the purpose of the passageA. To criticize people's ignorance of foreign languages.B. To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.C. To state the result of dropping learning foreign languages.D. To raise people's awareness of protecting native languages.DMuch of our thinking about health is based on wishful thinking. But science provides clear and simple advice for a healthy life. Graham Lawton explores the evidence. Graham proves that you don't have to be a health and fitness extremist to be reasonably healthy. He has rounded up the latest and strictest health research and changed it into useful advice on all the big health questions: diet, weight loss, exercise, sleep, ageing and so on.Graham, New Scientist feature writer, is not the common health expert. He sometimes eats fast food. He has a gym membership but rarely uses it. And he takes medicine to keep his blood pressure under control. Heneither has a diet plan nor a 6-week program to keep fit and thin.But he does have a much better weapon: science. In a talk, Graham explains the basic science, tells people some of the secrets of science, teaches people to use the ability of judgement to tell the good from the bad, and helps them to see beyond the headlines. The talk allows people to eat healthily, lose weight, and sort the truth out from science facts. But he loves outdoor sports. Last year Graham cycled over 1, 200 miles and ran the same distance of 15 marathons. He often goes swimming outdoors, walks up eight flights of stairs to his desk instead of taking the lift. He eats his five copies of fruit and vegetables a day, keeps enough water in his body, and doesn't eat much meat. Despite all the bad habits, his good ones seem to be winning. Graham is 50, but his “biological age” was recently measured as 45.32. What can we learn about GrahamA. He has some bad habits.B. He has an extremely strict diet.C. He looks down on common health experts.D. He always bases health on wishful thinking33 What does Graham's talk in paragraph 3 coverA. Words as weapons.B. Health and science.C. Functions of medicine.D. Ability and confidence.34 What does the last paragraph mainly tell us concerning GrahamA. His indoor sports of his life.B. His copies of health books.C. His healthy lifestyle.D. His way of thinking.35. Which is the most suitable title for the textA. The Professional Ways to Do SportsB. The Importance of Exercise for HealthC. The Unique Path to Scientific SuccessD. The Secrets of Living a Healthy Life第二节七选五（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。

He now works at Fukang Hospital Affiliated with Tibet University in Lhasa. As Zhang began his climb of Qomolangma, which is 8, 848. 86 meters above sea level, his colleagues in Lhasa were excited to hear the news of his success.“Many people may have doubted his attempt of climbing at first, but I was confident in him from the beginning,” said Kyila, the secretary of the Fukang Angel Foundation, who also is a blind person. “I knew before that he could make it, and he did make it. I am really happy for him. He is a model for blind people to encourage them to chase their dreams.”Zhang’s passion for climbing was inspired by Lotse, a famous Tibetan climber who conquered all the world’s 14 summits above the altitude of 8, 000 meters. Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001. Zhang was touched by the story, which ignited his dream of climbing.As an amateur climber for years, Zhang had conquered three mountains above the altitude of 6, 000 meters before climbing the world’s highest summit. He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 20l9. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.4. What can we infer from what Kyila said?A. He had been inspired by Lotse.B. He had much belief in Zhang’s success.C. Zhang’s colleagues doubted his motivation.D. Zhang centered on climbing in his spare time.5. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Lighted.B. Accomplished.C. Followed.D. Recalled.6. Why did Zhang Hong fail to climb Qomolangma in 2024?A. He was too weak.B. He wasn’t well prepared.C. A pandemic broke out.D. Extreme weather occurred.7. What’s the best title for the text?A. Zhang Hong Sets an Example to OthersB. A Blind Climber Reaches Qomolangma SummitC. Qomolangma Attracts More Chinese to ClimbD. A Chinese Climber Got Through the PandemicCIn the digital age, we rely on technology such as social media in trying to build interesting and varied lives. Social networking sites like Facebook are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知) and updates, urging us to check-in to find out what is new.But if we do not use the technology wisely, we can end up becoming overly attached and trapped in a cycle of social media FOMO, a sign of deeper unhappiness. FOMO, or fear of missing out, is a fear that exciting or interesting events are happening somewhere else and that we are not able to join.People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to write and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Facebook more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it. Hard as it is, we are better off working toward facing the fearful reality that we cannot experience everything we might like than to get caught in a cycle of checking behaviors that only cause anxiety.If we have become used to using social media as part of our attempts at living interesting lives, we must admit that it is not easy to change our approach. But change is almost always worthwhile in the long run.The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally (无意之中) be bringing on exactly the opposite result.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The digital age has arrived.B. Sites give netizens useful experiences.C. People have fallen into modern technology.D. Social media are designed to attract public attention.9. Which of the following could be regarded as social media FOMO?A. Failing to use Facebook.B. Answering a call during shopping.C. Reading text messages on reaching offices.D. Checking Facebook while driving.10. Why does the author suggest avoiding FOMO?A. To gain long-time happiness.B. To speed the cycle of desires.C. To work much better.D. To reduce fearful reality.11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Everybody has experienced FOMO.B. Digital technology may make us unhappier.C. Pursuing happiness is a sign of the digital age.D. People may unintentionally get lost in technology.DIn WALL-E, a science fiction movie, a little robot is responsible for cleaning a world covered in garbage; a world where there is no longer room for anything else, not even humans! The film encourages common people, worldwide leaders and businessmen to ask the obvious question: What can be done to prevent something like this happening? For some,microfactories could become the most promising answer.Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer in Sydney, Australia, has discovered a solution to the challenging waste problem. Her one-stop approach could go beyond the existing recycling processes. Her waste microfactories mainly target electronic waste and plastic, and are essentially little trash processors. These can transform waste into new materials with the help of thermal (热的) technology.“Using our green manufacturing technologies, these microfactories can transform waste, enabling local businesses and communities to not only solve local waste problems, but to develop a commercial opportunity from the valuable materials that are created,” she explains.Humans generate 2.01 billion tons of solid waste annually. And as the fastest growing waste stream, approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste were generated globally by 2024. Despite current efforts, only 17.4 percent of this is known to have been collected and properly recycled. Meanwhile, worldwide e-waste generation is expected to continue to grow, reaching almost 80 million tons by 2030.Although the most effective solution to the waste challenges would not generate as much trash, Sahajwalla microfactories provide hope for all the waste that already exists. Her solution not only decreases the amount of waste, but it also improves its management and enables new manufacturing opportunities around the new materials created.WALL-E shows us the best and the worst of what human beings have to offer. It shows here the world is headed unless the human species slows down and stops developing at the current pace. But it also provides hope, showing that we also have a great power to change and improve.12. What’s the aim to write the first paragraph?A. To tell us what WALL-E is about.B. To show the wide future of robots.C. To introduce the use of microfactories.D. To praise Veena Sahajwalla’s contribution.13. What do we know about Veena Sahajwalla?A. She is a top scientist in Australia.B. She has been devoted to garbage factories.C. Her waste microfactories are practical.D. Her trash processors are being widely promoted.14. How does the fourth paragraph develop?A. By making contrasts.B. By listing relevant figures.C. By summarizing the above.D. By analyzing cause and effect.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards microfactories?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Unclear.D. Indifferent.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’ve always had this idea to do this when I got the time and money put together.”Traveling down Africa is a massive challenge for anyone, let alone someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s. It’s an incredibly dangerous journey due to the conflicts, road conditions, lack of services and crime. “Much of the journey I was traveling by myself, I had nobody to be responsible to besides myself. That was a little bit lonely, but I had a sense of achievement when I made it.”Parkinson’s is the fastest growing illness worldwide and there are many people suffering with the condition in Africa. Deacon kept a boot (后备箱) full of pills in his car which he had intended to give away. Traveling there for months, he realized he couldn’t do that. Other travelers had shared their pills, but the quantity of pills was not enough. “It wouldn’t help for a short period of time, because they need continual pills.”The experience in Africa left a deep impression on Deacon. He knew what life was like with Parkinson’s without pills. Going back to UK, he had a plan to appeal to more people to fund a foundation which can donate more pills to people with Parkinson’s in Africa.4．What inspired Deacon to travel down Africa?A．Instructions in a traveler’s handbook.B．A scene in a picture on a book cover.C．His former experience in the desert.D．His concern about people with Parkinson’s. 5．What do we know about Deacon’s journey?A．The extreme weather made it dangerous.B．He met someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s.C．He enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself.D．He completed it thanks to the assistance of locals.6．Why didn’t Deacon give away pills to people?A．Deacon needed the pills himself.B．Other travelers didn’t share their pills before.C．His pills didn’t work on people in Africa.D．The quantity of pills couldn’t meet the need. 7．Which of the following can best describe Deacon?A．Skillful and tough.B．Responsible and talented.C．Thrill- loving and frank.D．Warm- hearted and determined.“Mobile phone addiction” is a term used to describe the phenomenon of a person being glued to their phone. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has proved that it’s not mobile phones themselves to which people are “addicted”, but rather the social interactions they promote. This study offers the first experimental scientific support for a theory initially proposed in 2018 by Samuel P. L. Veissiere, a scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.To conduct the experiment, the UGR scientists worked with a sample of 86 subjects who were divided into two groups. Group One was instructed to send a message via WhatsApp to their most active contacts explaining that they were going to participate in an exciting task in a VR universe(the same message in all cases). Group Two was not asked to send this “exciting” message to their contacts.“Next, we asked both groups of people to mute (静音) their mobile phones and leave them face down on the table while they engaged in the activity. When the interaction with the VR world was over, we left the participants idle. After this period of inactivity, we allowed all the participants to return to using WhatsApp,” explains Jorge Lopéz Puga, lead author of the study.Throughout the process, the UGR scientists measured the electrodermal activity of the skin, a parameter (参数) taken as a sign of the activity of our nervous system. “We observed that Group One was more tense throughout the experiment. We also found that this group became more anxious when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. Moreover, when they wereallowed to use their phones again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal (激动),” says Lopéz Puga.The results show that mobile phones are not the cause of psychological problems, but how and why the devices are used can better explain certain psychological problems.8．What can be inferred about the theory put forward by Samuel P. L. Veissiere?A．It focused on the effects of social interactions.B．It was inspired by the UGR scientists’ research.C．It related mobile phone addiction to social interactions.D．It was the first scientific theory about mobile phone addiction.9．What is the difference between the two groups?A．Group One had more participants.B．Group One was asked to text their contacts.C．Group Two performed a task in the VR universe.D．Group Two was requested to mute their mobile phones.10．Which of the following can replace “idle” in Paragraph 3?A．Busy with their work.B．Eager to know the results.C．Away from social activities.D．Unable to use their phones.11．What did the UGR scientists find about Group One?A．They were more anxious in daily life.B．They had more psychological problems.C．They experienced obvious mood changes.D．They were dependent on their mobile phones.In Florida, rancher (农场主) Jim Strickland can see his cows at any time, day or night. To do this, all he needs is his phone. Based on GPS technology, Strickland uses virtual fencing to watch and control the movements of his animals.Virtual fencing uses radio signals to make an invisible fence. Each animal wears a collar (颈圈) around its neck. The collar has a radio signal receiver and a GPS device that shows the animal’s location. The signals come from nearby mobile phone towers or base stations that can be moved using a small truck. Ranchers train livestock (牲畜) to connect a sound with a small electric shock. When an animal gets close to a virtual fence, its collar makes a warning sound. Ifthe animal moves even closer to the fence, it receives a shock. In this way, livestock quickly learn to stay away from the fence. Ranchers can change the virtual fence boundaries quickly by using a phone App or computer. And livestock quickly learn the new boundaries.By using virtual fencing, Strickland can remotely move his cows from one area to another and watch for animals that may be having problems. For example, if the system shows that a cow has not moved for many hours, it may be sick or injured. Virtual fencing can also help control grazing (放牧). William Burnidge, Deputy Director of TNC, an environmental non-profit organization, said that by changing fence boundaries, the systems prevent animals from eating too many plants within one area, which helps plants grow again.An animal’s collar can cost $ 50 or even more annually. Last year, the Bezos Earth Fund awarded$ 9.9 million to Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to develop cost-effective virtual fencing. The institution has outlined a plan to evaluate the effect of this technology in less- developed areas. In certain regions, Burnidge was aware of the significant role played by numerous workers in monitoring and caring for livestock, thus raising concerns that virtual fencing could result in unemployment.Still, Burnidge said that many people wanted to learn more about the technology. “I’ve never seen anything comparable to the amount of interest,” he said.12．What is the function of the collars?A．To track the location of the movable towers.B．To send signals to the nearby base stations.C．To prevent animals from crossing the boundaries.D．To automatically adjust the borders of the fence.13．What is the benefit of using virtual fencing?A．It protects animals from diseases.B．It promotes sustainable grazing.C．It makes high profits for ranchers.D．It helps plants grow better.14．What worried Burnidge?A．A collar cost too much money.B．It was hard to test the technology.C．Livestock were left uncared.D．Virtual fencing could cause job loss. 15．What is the best title of this passage?A．Virtual Fencing Changes the Way of Grazing B．Grazing Faces Challenges in SomeAreasC．Magical Collars Do Good to the Environment D．Gps Technology Is Widely Used in GrazingMental health can be negatively impacted by seasonal changes. This phenomenon is referred to as seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).SAD features depression no matter the season. 16 Unlike Winter SAD with slow thinking and moving, and more eating and sleeping, Summer SAD is a more anxious type that usually results in a loss of desire for food and sleep. Outlined here are steps for you to deal with Summer SAD．Spending time in nature.

Selecting the fruits went fine, but when he got to the bread section, he had trouble, because there were over 60 varieties to choose from. After 10 minutes, he picked one that seemed like the perfect choice. However, he had to repeat the process for the rest of the shopping list. After he finished shopping, he was tired and upset. Why did Tom have this kind of experience? According to behavioral economics research, the more choices we have, the less happy we feel.The cause of our unhappiness has its root in one typical judgment error we make — our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains. Due to this, when we have many options, we feel anxious about making the wrong choice and losing the best one.Studying on factors that make a shopping trip an unhappy experience helps us improve our buying decisions. When choosing what to buy, the first technique involves satisficing (满意) instead of maximizing.Maximizing behavior refers to finding the perfect option when shopping. Maximizers compare all options to ensure they get the best deal. They have high expectations, and they hope the product will meet their expectations.It’s the opposite for satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria (最低标准) that need to be met, then search for the first available product that meets the criteria. They look for products that are “good enough” instead of “perfect”. When they focus on “good enough”, their brain automatically highlights the positives, and lowers the expectations.Research shows that maximizing behavior results in less happiness and more regret than satisficing.To be happier, satisfice and limit your choices. Make a short list that compares a reasonable number of options and doesn’t include every product available. After all, there’s no such thing as the perfect deal.4．Why did Tom have trouble selecting bread?A．Because he had never gone shopping before.B．Because he had the flu and a bad headache.C．Because there were too many kinds of bread to choose from.D．Because he forgot what kinds of bread his wife likes best.5．What’s the judgment error that causes our unhappiness according to the writer?A．Our careless attitudes to making options.B．The way that we make options.C．Our experience of making wrong options.D．Our natural reactions prefer avoiding losses to making gains.6．What products do satisficers look for?A．The random ones that they see in the shop.B．The best ones after they make many comparisons.C．The perfect ones that meet the maximum criteria they set.D．The first available ones that meet the minimal criteria they set.7．How to be happier according to the passage?A．Compare a great number of options.B．Set certain higher criteria that need to be met.C．Avoid pursuing perfection when making options.D．Set maximum criteria and compare as much as possible.Meat, milk, cheese — just some of the things provided by goats. But now we can also add fire safety to this list. As wildfires damage increasingly large areas of the planet each year, goat herds may offer a way of reducing the risk.Wildfires are made possible by hot dry weather conditions as well as a supply of deadplants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the first factor, but we can control the second. Reducing the fuel load (易燃物总量) lowers the probability of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can turn to goats to provide a solution. Goats are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and various parts of the United States.Goats have a very tough digestive system. Many kinds of plants that are poisonous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It’s not just fully-grow n plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat become non-viable and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to hard-to-reach vegetation areas but goats don’t. They are skilled mountain climbers and can stand on their hind (后面的) legs, reaching up to two metres to eat shrubs and grass that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goat herds have been found to clear some lands for a third of the price of human plants control teams.Cost and safety aren’t the only benefits. Goats are quieter than lawnmowers and people usually prefer to see goats grazing rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂) being sprayed on the land. Children are often fascinated to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires.8．What is at the mercy of human beings definitely about wildfires?A．Weather changes.B．The fuel amount.C．Worldwide diseases.D．Cheese production.9．What does the underlined word “non-viable” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Developing successfully.B．Getting dangerous.C．Not capable of living.D．Not worth looking at.10．Why are goats more suitable to fire safety task than men?A．Because of their physical features.B．Because of their high intelligence.C．Because of their quite personality.D．Because of their diligence nature. 11．What might be talked about in the paragraph to follow?A．Why goats are useful.B．What has caused wildfires.C．How wildfires are prevented.D．How goat herds are managed.Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12．What trend has been observed recently among scientists?A．A decline in interest in poetry and science.B．A preference for traditional research methods.C．An increase in combining science and poetry.D．A focus on historical figures like AdaLovelace.13．How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public?A．By translating classic poetry into different languages.B．By teaching at the University of Western Australia.C．By advocating for more funding in geoscience research.D．By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal.14．How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop?A．It was challenging and difficult.B．It was enjoyable and straightforward.C．It was a waste of time.D．It was too artistic for her taste.15．What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication?A．It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience.B．It promotes academic research in universities.C．It replaces traditional boring science textbooks.D．It emphasizes the significance of public lectures.With the approach of summer vacation, if you ever had a thought that biking might be for you, July might be the perfect month to try it out. Regular biking is beneficial to your mental and physical health. 16 So here are some tips that can guide the new cyclists along.Prepare essential necessities. You don’t need a ton of equipment to get started. Once you’ve got your bike and helmet, consider how to carry all your belongings. That could be a simple backpack, but it could also be a basket on your bike. 17 In the summer, athletic shorts and a T-shirt are often good choices.18 Don’t try biking somewhere for the first time when you’re in a hurry or have an important meeting. Bike somewhere closer and low-risk, like a quick run to the store or to a friend's backyard. Work your way up to more farther destinations.Adopt a relaxed mindset (心态) and seek help. It`s admitted that mentality, of taking it easy, can be extended to the route itself. Try out different routes to find the one you’re most comfortable with. Visit a bike shop to get maps of your city’s bike paths. Ask friends who bikes for suggestions or to ride with you. 19Use a bike lane if possible. The League of American Bicyxclists says bikers should try togive cars 3 feet of space. But cyclists shouldn’t ride in the gutter (排水沟) to keep their distance.20 Don’t make drivers try to squeeze (挤压) past you. It’s about maintaining a balance for safety, and that’s not always easy.A．Start with a short ride.B．Start with a familiar destination.C．If the road is too narrow, ride in the middle of the lane.D．Drivers also play a huge role in keeping a safe distance.E．Beyond these main items, it’s also key to think about clothes.F．Believe it or not, people often are glad to share their knowledge.G．But like any new habit, starting to bike regularly is easier said than done.二、完形填空Many parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world.

河南省驻马店市新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二上学期开学英语试题(含答案)
新蔡县第一高级中学高二2024年8月份开学考试英语试题注意事项：1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息；2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。
一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分)A“Want fries with that?” You might be asked this question when ordering food in a restaurant. A nutritionist can help you with the answer.Ellie Krieger is a nationally known nutritionist. Her job is to teach people how to make healthy food choices. She believes healthy eating can manage disease and promote overall good health. With her cookbooks, television programs, and podcast, Krieger also teaches people how to follow recipes and prepare delicious food.A healthy approach includes having fun in the kitchen. “I get to ‘play’ with my food when I’m testing and making a recipe,” Krieger says. “It’s part of my job, and it never gets old.” She tries to impart this sense of fun to her TV and podcast audiences. “It’s a great feeling to know my work is helping people live healthier lives,” she says. “I feel like I am making a difference in the world.”A nutritionist’s work goes beyond affecting individuals. It can shape public health, by changing the way society views food, health, and nutrition. Nutritionists like Krieger teach people how to read menus and food labels, and how food is grown and finds its way to the plate. Nutritionists do this work in schools, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.For Krieger, food is a way to learn about other people and understand different cultures. This is an idea she imparts to kids and parents. “The school cafeteria is a classroom,” she says, “and so is the family dinner table.”It was because of the commitment to family nutrition that Krieger made an effort to address the problem of childhood obesity. She’s been part of the School Nutrition Association, and has proved before the House Committee on Agriculture about nutrition and the childhood-obesity epidemic. She even helped plan the lunch menu at her daughter’s public school, in New York City.Krieger’s career shows how a nutritionist’s work can go beyond the hospital or the doctor’s office. “We work in all different fields,” she says. “We work in the media, in schools, at markets, with sports teams, in restaurants, in private practices, in government organizations, at food companies, and more!”21．Why does the author put forward a question in Paragraph 1?A．To stress the harm of fries.B．To explain table manners.C．To introduce a new career.D．To present a new course in restaurants.22．What does Krieger want to convey to her audiences?A．Getting pleasure from making foods.B．Playing while cooking in the kitchen.C．Taking cooking as an important thing.D．Making different food in the world.23．What does Krieger expect kids to learn at the school cafeteria?A．Different food labels.B．Different food cultures.C．The sources of food.D．The menu’s identification.24．What does the last paragraph stress?A．A nutritionist’s colorful life.B．The teamwork of nutritionists and doctors.C．A range of choices for a nutritionist.D．The significance of a nutritionist.BOn May 14th, 2016, three foreigners saved a drowning(溺水的)Chinese girl.Roman and Krill are Russian first-year college students. That Saturday, they were standing by the river near Shanghai Jianqiao University with their teacher, Bastien, a teacher from France at Jianqiao University. Then they saw someone “swimming”.The three said the “swimmer” seemed to be drowning. They rushed to help, though they didn’t hear any cries, and found a girl in the water.Roman jumped into the water at once. He swam to the girl and quickly caught her arm. Then Krill came to Roman and held his hand. Bastien held on to the bank with one hand, while holding Krill with the other hand.“The girl almost pulled us into the water as she tried so hard to get out of the water,” said Bastien.A video showed that the rescue took less than five minutes. But it was really dangerous.The girl, 17 ,was a student from a nearby school. The three heroes spent some time with her to make sure she was safe and not hurt. Then the girl was sent to the international students’ apartment of Shanghai Jianqiao University. Roman, one of the Russian students, later found he was injured in the back during the rescue. Hiscellphone also broke after being in the water. Students and teachers at Jianqiao University quickly heard the news. They were all proud of them. The three men also received some money as a reward from the girl’s parents on Monday.Thanks to the three brave men, the girl didn’t lose her life. The three heroes have been called foreign “LeiFeng”.25．What can we learn about the three heroes from the text?A．They are college teachers.B．Two of them are Russians.C．One of them is from England.D．They are from three different schools.26．Before the rescue, the three men________.A．heard a cry for helpB．didn’t know each otherC．were standing by the river with many other peopleD．didn’t know exactly what the situation(情形)was27．What happened during the rescue?A．Krill held the girl’s arm.B．The girl couldn’t move.C．Roman was closest to the girl.D．Bastien was the farthest from the bank.28．What happened after the rescue?A．The girl was sent to a hospital.B．The girl was found hurt but not seriously.C．Roman couldn’t find his cellphone.D．The girl’s parents rewarded the three men.CThe wheelchair-bound young man, a patient of mine, was pushed to the lectern (演讲台) at the high school to deliver his commencement address. His face still partially paralyzed（瘫痪的）, and he spoke in a soft voice. But Mark Orsini delivered a powerful speech and received a thunderous applause from his fellow students, who had wondered if he’d live to graduate.The 18-year-old had developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause paralysis. Soon he was almost completely paralyzed.His parents insisted that he was a fighter. He’d get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth. Butmeanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator（呼吸器）, how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his class?The solution was remarkable: The Orsinis would sit at Mark’s side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter Mark needed to spell a word, he’d nod “yes.” They’d write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again. They never lost patience and Mark was involved with every decision. Standard treatment hadn’t helped, so I proposed a risky procedure to filter（过滤）his blood. After treatment he showed improvement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms.Mark has graduated from Dartmouth. I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great. But there was a lot left unsaid. I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter. I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen. I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents. But words failed me.29．The underlined word “commencement” in Paragraph 1 means _________.A．graduation B．promiseC．birthday D．acceptance30．What did Mark’s parents do for him when he was learning in class?A．They did everything for Mark.B．They assisted Mark in learning.C．They lost patience sometimes.D．They made decisions for him.31．We can learn from the passage that ___________.A．the standard treatment Mark received was a great successB．the doctor was not satisfied with Mark’s treatment and felt ashamedC．the doctor told Mark’s parents that they were impressive and unforgettableD．the doctor would like to have shared more of his true feelings with Mark32．According to the last paragraph, how did the writer feel about the way he treated his children?A．He felt proud of it.B．He felt confident of it.C．He felt guilty of it.D．He felt doubtful about itDHalf the SkyPrice:$10.69ISBN:978-0-3073-8709-7Publication date:6/2010Pages:320With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D．Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an adventure through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there.

Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the department’s laboatories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.8．According to the text, Driver Alert____________.A．aims to reduce tiredness-related accidentsB．has gone through testing at laboratoriesC．aims to prevent drivers from sleepingD．has been on sale for 12 months9．How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?A．By sounding a warning.B．By pressing the steering wheel.C．By checking the driving time.D．By touching the wristband. 10．When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ____________.A．moves more regularly B．stops working properlyC．sounds more frequently and loudly D．opens the window for the driver 二、七选五C．Experts have referred to this worry as Sunday scaries.D．Sunday scaries come from tiredness after a really busy weekend.E．Then you feel empowered and confident that you’ll be ready for the next day.F．Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy.G．Anxiety is a natural response that happens in preparation for anything that causes pain or discomfort.三、完形填空21．A．took up B．tend to C．brought out D．figure out 22．A．observation B．selection C．reflection D．interaction 23．A．disguise B．escape C．fade D．march 24．A．wrapping B．roasting C．tearing D．combining 25．A．settling B．stuffing C．delivering D．squeezing 26．A．admit B．predict C．learn D．admire 27．A．swallow B．digest C．reject D．absorb 28．A．opened B．feasted C．limited D．kept 29．A．precious B．unexpected C．flexible D．normal 30．A．mystery B．charm C．difference D．fortune六、其他应用文51．假定你是李华，你的好友张林要抄袭你的作业，被你拒绝。

The Green Bay Packers weren't green. They were blue. And even though I had never before seen a professional football game live and in living color, I had read enough from my subscription to Sports Illustrated to know that the dark jerseys (运动衫) worn by the Green Bay Packers were green, not blue.“Maybe it's something special they're doing for the Super Bowl,”my dad suggested.“The colors aren't right, Dad,” I said. “I'm sure of it.”Eventually Dad agreed. “I'll get a repairman tomorrow,” he said. It was a minor annoyance, but it somehow cast a pall over our enjoyment of the pregame festivities. This was highly anticipated Super Bowl, and we were watching it on our super new color TV. It was supposed to be super.Just a few minutes before kickoff, my big brother Bud arrived with Craig, a college friend. Craig looked at the TV for a moment. “I think your tint (色调) is off a little,” he said. He reached behind the set and began feeling around for buttons. Suddenly our color TV was black and white. He reached behind the TV again. He must have found the right button, because a moment later color was restored —and perfected. The Green Bay Packers were in their traditional green and gold uniforms. The field was green, the sky was blue and it was a Super Sunday, indeed.It amazed me then — and often has since — what a major difference a minor adjustment can make. A wellplaced nail or a tweak (拧) of a button from someone who knows what they're doing can change everything. The same principle holds true in interpersonal matters. While there are some hurts that cannot be easily repaired, it's amazing how often a simple smile, a kind word, or a gentle touch can change our way of thinking, improve our mood, and make everything seem, you know, super.4. About what did the author disagree with his dad?A. Which channel to watch.B. Which sports team would win.C. Whether the colors on the screen were wrong.D. Whether the players' uniforms were fit for the event.5. What does the underlined phrase “cast a pall over” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Replaced.B. Witnessed.C. Ensured.D. Damaged.6. What does the author think of Craig's behavior?A. It took too long.B. It saved much money.C. It made matters even worse.D. It breathed new life into the show.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Always put yourself in others' shoes.B. It is important to learn basic life skills.C. A small act can make a big difference.D. Learn to smile through life's imperfections.CThis will be an important year for pioneers developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft (垂直起降飞机), popularly known as flying taxis. Several firms are hoping their craft can obtain the necessary certification in 2023 to start mercial production, getting ready for the first passenger services.Air taxis generally carry fewer than half a dozen passengers. They land and take off vertically using multiple small rotors (旋翼). With clever software controlling the rotors, they are easier to fly and readily capable of autonomous flight. The plentiful number of rotors also helps with safety, as the aircraft can continue to fly if one or more fail.Some designs use an extra rotor or two at the back to push the aircraft along during flight. Others, like that produced by Joby Aviation, have rotors like a set of small wings providing lift, making more efficient use of the aircraft's battery and increasing range.After thinking hard about how to certify(授予专业合格证) these flying machines, regulators(监管者) have been working with developers on safety standards. This is a multistage process. Besides obtaining “type”approval, which shows the airworthiness of a new type of aircraft, factories must be certified before production can begin in volume. And an airlinestyle licence is required if paying passengers are to be carried. panies are working hard to get these approvals. Piloted operations are expected to be approved before autonomous flights.In Germany, Volocopter will be flighttesting a family of eVTOLs. The firm is hoping its smallest, the twoseater VoloCity, can be certified in time for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, where the plan is to operate trips between airports and the athletes' village. Other airtaxi firms also hope to provide services in Paris, or at the World Expo, which takes place in Japan in 2025.8. What can make eVTOL aircraft safer?A. Fewer passengers.B. Smarter software.C. More rotors.D. Smaller wings.9. What can we say about the certifying process of eVTOL aircraft?A. Efficient.B. plicated.C. Confusing.D. Creative.10. What does Volocopter expect of its VoloCity?A. It will defeat air taxis from other firms.B. It will participate in the next World Expo.C. It will conduct piloted operations in 2025.D. It will provide services for the 2024 Olympics.11. Which would be the best title for the text?A. The future of transportationB. The development of flying craftC. A green vehicle takes flightD. The air taxi is ingD“Who's a good reader? It's you, isn't it?”This is a typical example of “pa rentese (父母语).” Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese to their babies can give their language development a serious boost. In the study, researchers found that teaching parents how to speak proper parentese enhanced their ability to municate with their babies —and even improved the children's longterm language skills.Parentese is distinct from conventional baby talk, which mostly relies on silly sounds and madeup words. In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns across different languages noticed a unique style that adults used addressing young children. This language was characterized by simple words and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slower speed. The babydirected speech was first named “motherese” before it was called “parentese.”Later research showed parentese is grammatically correct, with real words and phrases, which helped babies differentiate between words and process what was being said. “We've known for some time that use of parentese is associated with improved language outes, but we didn't know why,” says Patricia K. Kuhl, the study's senior author. But Kuhl thinks the new research suggests why parentese helps babies learn language skills.“We now think parentese works because it's a social attraction for the baby brain,”she says. “Its high pitch and slower speed are socially engaging and invite the baby to respond.”All 71 families in the new study had their children equipped with a special coat with an audio recorder built in. During four separate weekends when the babies were 6, 10, 14 and 18 months old, the researchers recorded all of the interactions between family members and the babies. The 48 families who were randomly selected for a course in parentese learned about ways to include more parentese in conversation.And even though all of the participating families used some form of parentese at the start of the study, the babies of parents who received coaching showed the most improvements in their conversation skills. Beyond that, those babies had a 100word vocabulary pared with the control group, who only knew 60 words at 18 months12. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on?A. Its aim.B. Its result.C. Its procedure.D. Its participants.13. What did scientists find about parentese in the 1960s?A. It was easy to follow.B. It was unique to mothers.C. It was full of madeup words.D. It was similar to traditional baby talk.14. What does Kuhl say about parentese?A. It teaches babies more social skills.B. It inspires babies to speak more.C. It has shortterm effects on babies.D. It helps babies differentiate words and phrases.15. Which of the following describes the 48 families?A. The parents knew more parentese skills.B. Their babies grasped 60 words at 18 months.C. The parents failed to use parentese through the study.D. Their babies received more coaching on a 100word vocabulary.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。
湖南省长沙市第一中学2024-2025年高二上学期开学考试英语试题
湖南省长沙市第一中学2024-2025年高二上学期开学考试英语试题一、阅读理解Archaeology campEach summer, the Public Archaeology Facility ’s Community Archaeology Program offers a week - long program focused on archaeology for kids entering Grades 5 and 6. The program is taught by professional archaeologists from Binghamton University. Students will learn about the science of archaeology through hands -on , interactive classroom projects , laboratory tours, outdoor activities, and a visit to a local archaeological site.Our 2023 Research Site is the Whitney Point Bridge site. Broome County, New York. Dates : July 13-17, 2023Time: 8:30 am -4:30 pmTickets: $200 per participant ( a 10% discount before May 15,2023) The session is limited to 16 students to ensure the best educational setting.Participants will spend the first two days of the program learning about ancient cultures, archaeological concepts, and practicing fieldwork techniques, and artifact(人工制品) classification and preservation. Kids will take part in exciting activities in experimental and creative archaeology, including pottery (陶器) construction and a cross - country race.On the third and fourth days, participants will explore local historic sites long - covered by plants. and learn how archaeologists survey sites ‘ using direct mcasurements, digital cameras, careful notes, and hand - held GPS units. This trip will also provide an opportunity to learn more about the environment in which these sites were created.On the last day - the program will travel to a local historically significant archaecological site currently being excavated (挖掘) by the Public Archaeology Facility where students will observe professional excavations, Participants will be able to assist in some of the tasks at the site, including screening (筛查;甄别) for artifacts, note - taking, and site interpretation.1．What do we know about the archaeology camp ?A．It lasts for a whole month.B．Itis limited to a dozen kids.C．It is guided by university experts.D．It is intended for high school students.2．How much should two kids pay if they buy fickets before March 15,2023?A．$200.B．$360C．$380. D．$400.3．What will participants probably do on July 16, 2023?A．Conduct a survey in the field.B．Help reconstruct ancicnt objects.C．Observe professtonal excavations.D．Learn about artifact classification.Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds.Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.4．Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?A．To beg for food.B．To get her babies treated.C．To express thanks.D．To give birth to her babies.5．How did the doctors help the baby cat?A．They built them a home.B．They adopted all of them.C．They operated on them immediately.D．They gave them right medicine.6．What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?A．Their physical state.B．Their eating habit.C．Their appearance.D．Their behavior.7．What can we learn from the story?A．Love makes a difference.B．One good turn deserves another.C．Humans can live peacefully with animals.D．God helps those who help themselves.Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We like to try new activities and visit new places. We become bored when there is little variety. Nevertheless, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.There are reasons for this. When we are exposed to new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure, like in the midst of the pandemic.This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s critical to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were identical, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease inwater, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. Most people associate Darwin with his evolutionary theory of natural selection, but population thinking may be an even greater scientific achievement. The idea of “survival of the fittest” implies that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a prerequisite for natural selection to work.Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding and even annoying at times, but it’s a good investment, sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who looks different or thinks differently from you, treat your discomfort as a cue to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold the view that the other person should be silenced. Ultimately, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations, and more adaptable to change.8．Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable?A．Having an adventure in the wild.B．Taking a trip to a foreign country.C．Sharing traveling experiences with others.D．Socializing with people from diverse cultures.9．What does the second paragraph focus on?A．People’s unwillingness to deal with new things.B．The significance of learning new things in our life.C．The biological explanations for people’s discomfort.D．The role of the nervous system in learning new things.10．What does the underlined word “prerequisite” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Requirement.B．Substitute.C．Motivation.D．Challenge. 11．What does the writer mainly want to convey?A．Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.B．How we can benefit from seeking variation.C．How we should treat the differences we find in others.D．Why we should get along with people different from us.Certain stem cells have a unique ability to move between growth compartments(隔间) in hair follicles(毛囊), but get stuck as people age and so lose their ability to mature and maintain hair color, a new study shows.Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the new work focused on cells in the skin of mice and also found in humans called melanocyte stem cells, or McSCs. Hair color is controlled by whether nonfunctional but continually multiplying pools of McSCs within hair follicles get the signal to become mature cells that make the protein pigment(色素) responsible for color.The new study showed that McSCs are remarkably plastic. This means that during normal hair growth, such cells continually move back and forth between maturity and immaturity as they move between compartments of the developing hair follicle. It is inside these compartments that McSCs are exposed to different levels of maturity-influencing protein signals.The researchers found that as hair ages, comes off, and then repeatedly grows back, increasing numbers of McSCs get stuck in the stem cell compartment. They remain there, do not mature into the transit-amplifying state, and do not travel back to their original location in the germ compartment, where they regenerate into pigment cells.Specifically, the research team found that McSCs transform between their most primitive stem cell state and the next stage of their maturation, depending on their location.“Our study adds to our basic understanding of how McSCs work to color hair,”said study lead investigator Qi Sun, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at NYU Langone Health. “The newfound mechanisms raise the possibility that the same fixed-positioning of McSCs may exist in humans. If so, it presents a potential pathway for changing over or preventing the graying of human hair by helping jammed cells to move again between developing hair follicle compartments.”12．What is the function of mature McSCs?A．Receiving maturity signal.B．Making protein pigments.C．Stopping hair from being colored.D．Sending maturity-influencing protein signals. 13．What determines the state of McSCs?A．Their quantity.B．Their growing time.C．Their size.D．Their position.14．What can be concluded from the study?A．Hair will stop growing as it ages.B．Gray hair will no longer mature.C．Stuck McSCs cause hair to turn gray.D．Gray hair can eventually grow normal. 15．What did Qi Sun express in the last paragraph?A．The potential application of the finding.B．The principle behind the result of the study.C．The basic understanding of McSCs.D．The possibility of developing hair follicle compartments.A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets. Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. 16Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. 17 Later, they slowly spread to America.One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. 18 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost-effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane.19 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes.20 While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe.A．Beets can be easily processed.B．But its source may be actually beets.C．The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.D．Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.E．In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar.F．Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.G．Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.二、完形填空Tineke Vanobbergen found herself torn when it was time for her to return to her job.

ACourtney was just 15 years old when she joined a team of space researchers. Those scientists landed NaSa’s robot. Spirit. on the planet Mars But thiswas neither Courtney's first nor her last adventure in space research .When she was in fifth grade. Courtney had already decided to spend her life “exploring the mysteries of the universe” She checked out spacc books from her library . studied hard in math and science claases. and later. attended United States Space Camp in Alabama.Then Courtney entered a contest to become port of the Student Astronaut program run by a group called the Planetary Society. After a lot of hard work, interviews. and months of waiting, Courtney found out that she was one of 16 students who made it—out of 500 enteredi.Courtney and fellow student astronaut Rafael Morozowski.a 16-year-old from Brazil, were at the Jet Propulsion Liboratory in California with NASA scientists when Spirit reached Mars."The most exciting part of the thing occurred late at night on January3 , 2004, when we received signals indicating that Spirit had landedsuccessfully.Courtney says. I joined the rest of the scientists in jumping up and cheering. ”Courtney and Rafael spent seven nights working with and learning from the MASA scientists.(They worked «it night because that was daying on Mars. )They studied the photographf that Spirit was sending to Earth of Gusev Crater on Mars. They spoke to television reporters at NASA press conferences and attended meettng in which the NASA team named the rocks and hills that Spirit was finding.When Courtney was 17 years old. she went to work for NASA as a student intern at the Coddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. With two NASA scientists. Courtney plans to study astrophysics or planetary. science at Princeton Univ ersity, then return to work at NASA. She encourages other kids and teens to followtheir dreams of getting involved with space research.31. What can we learn about Courtney from Paragraph 1 and 2A.
