AA European Union programme is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D)printing to recreate famous paintings so that they can be touched.One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's The Kis. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filed with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now. people who have trouble seeing cannot enjoy the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction（复制品）they can touch the piece and feel the ridges（隆起）and depressions（凹陷）. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-Dversions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed（精细的）.Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it, she said, "Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details. "Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. "It's somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it's so smooth. And then I think to myself it probably shines too!" Raditsch said.The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artworks. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world coulddownload the source files and print the reproductions themselves.1. What is The Kiss?A. A European Union project.B. A popular painting.C. A 3-D technology.D. A famous museum.2. Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?A. The painting was reproduced detailedly.B. The original artwork was made in 1908.C. Blind art fans can't download the source files.D. The 3-D technology is not available.3. What is the best title for the text?A. A European Union programme for museum visitorsB. How to reproduce the world-famous paintingsC. A special museum for art fans in Vienna, AustriaD. 3-D printing lets the blind experience famous paintingsB"Have you checked the oil in the car?" my father used to say to me, his way of "Hello, hope you are well." Sometimes our phone calls would begin with a question about the oil and end with a question about the oil, with not a lot in between.Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often offered by means of practical advice. In my experience: It's mostly about my car. "How's the car running?" "Did you get it serviced?" My car—an old green Toyota Corona bought for $500—was where my father showed his love.Why can't we fathers just say "I love you" or "It's great to see you"? The point is: that's exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase "I love you" can be heard in the slightly longer "I could come around Saturday and repair your chair." The words "You made my life better from the moment you were born" may be hardly heard, but the main meaning is there in the more common "I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves down from the roof."When I was 17, I went on my first road trip—a friend and I in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold morning to say goodbye. "Highways are dangerous," he said, "so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil." At the time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would sing "horse-and-buggy" every time I tried to overtake some other speeding cars.Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so carelessly laughed at was simply Dad's attempt at love.4. Why did the author's father often ask about the car?A. To show his love for the car.B. To see if there is enough oil.C. To express his care to his son.D. To check the condition of the car.5. Which of the following sentences is an example of Fatherlish?A. I love you deeply.B. It's great to see you.C. You made my life better.D. I can check the oil for you.6. What does the underlined word "overtaking" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Outrunning.B. ApproachingC. Crashing into.D. Knocking over.7. What can be inferred about the author in the last paragraph?A. He wanted to own a dictionary.B. He regrets his childish behavior.C. He is sad about his father's death.D. He realized his father's love then.CSharks may be able to smell blood from miles away, but they probably don't know how red it is. It is likely that they only see the world in black and white according to a study that is the first to look into sharks’ visual systems.A team at the University of Western Australia studied the visual systems of many different species of sharks and what they have found is diversity in eye design that mirrors the ecological and behavioral diversity of the shark species. The team looked at the retinal cells of 17 species of sharks caught from Queensland and Western Australia and found out that the cells are responsible for sharks’ color blindness.According to the study, these animals are color-blind due to the light receptors they have got in their eyes. There are two main types of light-sensitive ceils to allow animals to see: rod cells help measure brightness because they are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart, while various types of cone cells help distinguish colors. They looked at the structure of sharks' rod and cone cells in the retina. Human eyes come with red, green and blue cone variations, while sharks appear to have just one kind of cone cell.The study suggests that contrast against the background, rather than color itself, might be more important for object detection by sharks. Costumes that camouflage swimmers’ bodies in sea water are less likely to draw a shark’s attention than ones with bright, solid colors that emphasize their outline. “It’s the high contrast against thewater rather than the color itself which is probably attractive to sharks,” said Professor Nathan Hart who led the study.8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Stressing the importance of the study.B. Showing the features of sharks’ eye design.C. Giving the process and the result of the study.D. Telling the functions of sharks’ visual systems.9. What leads to sharks’ blindness to color according to Paragraph 3?A. Their less sensitive rod cells.B. Their lack of various cone cells.C. Their inability to tell apart colors.D. Their strong sensitivity to brightness.10. What can be inferred in the last paragraph?A. The color plays a key part in sharks' detecting objects.B. You should make your outline stand out in the sea for your safety.C. You should be dressed in bright color to avoid sharks’ attention in the sea.D. Sharks are more interested in sharp contrast against the water rather than your body.11. What’s the writing purpose of the text?A. To challenge a traditional belief.B. To inform us a scientific discovery.C. To amuse us with interesting information.D. To raise our awareness of protecting wild animals.DToday, plastic is used in almost everything, from shopping bags and bottles to chairs and cars. Plastic has conquered the world. But do you know how it was first made?The first man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes, who introduced it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. It was called Parkesine, and it was made from plant materials. Once heated, it could be molded, and it held its shape when cooled. Also, it could be made colored or transparent. However, it was too expensive to produce for common use.In the 19th century, billiards（a game played on a cloth-covered table）was so popular that a lot of elephants were being killed for their ivory, which was used to make billiard balls. So, people tried to find a substitute. A U.S. billiard ball company offered a prize of S10, 000 to the person who could design the best substitute for natural ivory. In 1866, JohWesley Hyatt created Celluloid while trying to win the prize. Although he failed to win, Celluloid was later used to make many products, including false teeth, piano keys, and ping pong balls.In 1909, Leo Backeland created Bakelite. Made entirely of artificial materials, it was the first true plastic. It was inexpensive, and it kept its shape when heated. Soon, it was being used in many things, including electrical products and jewelry. Since then, many other plastics have been developed.Today, most plastics are produced from non-natural materials made from petroleum. They are light, flexible, strong. and cheap. Despite all these advantages, there is one problem: plastic waste breaks down slowly and toxic chemicals can leak from it. Therefore, people are trying to develop less harmful plastics.12. How did Parkesine differ from other plastics motioned in the text?A. It was popularly used.B. It was flexible and cheap.C. It could break down quickly.D. It was made from plant materials.13. What can we know from the passage?A. Plastics could be easily got from plants.B. Bakelite could be heated without changing shape.C. Plastics made from petroleum have few advantages. uD. Celluloid was used to make billiard balls in the 19t century.14. What can be mostly talked about following the last paragraph?A. The disadvantages of plastic.B. Different products made from plastic.C. A chemist studying the history of plastic.D. The kind of eco-friendly materials to make plastic.15. What can be the suitable title for the text?A. How to Make PlasticB. The Inventors of PlasticC. From Plant to PetroleumD. New materials to Make Plastic第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

山东省德州市2022-2023学年高二下学期4月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、未知GRADING POLICYGrades help to determine a student‟s success. To accomplish the goal of furthering the education and in order to guarantee the same educational opportunities for everyone, the following policies and expectations are requested to be followed by all students.Grading MethodIn our school, grades will be weighted by the following three categories.◆Category A—Tests, Quizzes, Research Assignments, Projects, and Presentations.◆Category B—Homework, Class work, Content readings, Notebooks, and Essays.◆Category C—Prepared for Class, Class Participation, and Discussion Participation.Grading Criteria◆Category A:70%◆Category B:20%◆Category C:10%Within each category a different amount of points can be assigned per event. Participation grades are calculated at the end of each marking period. If a student does not participate, they do not earn any points. Completing homework assignments is part of your participation grade. Therefore any homework assignments not completed will result in points being lowered from both Category B&. C．This reduces the possible points that can be earned and thus the overall participation grade.Due DatesDue dates are final for all major grades. Advance notice will be given to help the students manage their time. Research papers should be finished prior to the deadline in order to avoid last minute problems, such as computer or printer errors or other distracting events. Students who do not complete or make up work within the scheduled time will not receive any credit for those assignments and will not have an opportunity to complete the work at a later date and scholarship is unavailable as well.1．Which grading item belongs to Category C?A．Quizzes. B．Presentations. C．Content readings. D．Discussions.2．What will happen if any homework is not completed?A．The marking period will be put off.B．The overall points will be reduced.C．The participation point will be zero.D．The Category A points will be affected.3．What can be inferred from Due Dates?A．Advance notice is unavailable to students.B．Preparing research papers in advance is essential.C．Students can make up their work after due dates.D．Scholarship can be obtained on a second chance.Jo Land, a 53-year-old teacher, was horrified when she realised how much her son‟s schoo l uniform was going to cost. She started thinking:“If it was this expensive for us, how on Earth must families with more children cope? And that‟s not taking into account the cost of living. Food, fuel and energy prices are going up for everyone. It seems wrong if it prevents some children from attending school. ”Therefore, Land bought a new plastic dustbin and put it outside her house, with a sign reading, “School uniform drop-off” . She set up an online group called School Uniform Swap and asked people to donate good-quality used uniforms for free. The operation started to grow almost immediately. People drive up and drop the clothing in her bin. Land sorts through it, keeps it and posts details about donations on her group. Recipients can come and collect at their leisure. She even drops clothes at the homes of people without cars.“Every child going to school deserves to feel smart and proud. We don‟t want children to go to school feeling negative, because that affects their learning. ”Land says. There is also a beneficial impact on the environment—the project stops good-quality uniforms ending up as landfill. Land has noticed that people rarely take without also giving: “Sometimes people leave flowers on the bin, or they drop off some outgrown clothes a s well, even if it‟s just a polo shirt or a few jumpers. ”She says she has never received soiled uniform:“Everything is always really clean. ”Parents send messages to express their thanks, saying she is doing a wonderful thing and talking about how hard things are at the moment. Land also receives so many messages from people who are absolutely desperate, because they cannot afford uniforms for their children.She is thinking about all the people in her community who will struggle this winter. Her determination to ensure children can access the uniforms they deserve grows ever stronger. 4．What inspired Land to launch the donation of school uniforms?A．The school‟s request.B．The environmental needs.C．The price of school uniforms. D．The students‟ personal t astes. 5．What can we know about the used uniforms?A．They are of high quality. B．People mainly swap them online. C．They are sold at low cost. D．People have to drive to get them. 6．Which of the following can best describe Land?A．Curious and diligent. B．Considerate and cautious. C．Inspiring and courageous. D．Responsible and determined. 7．What is the best title of the text?A．Uniform exchange to protect nature.B．Uniform swap to help the disadvantaged.C．Recycling school uniforms becoming popularD．Low-income families struggling for uniforms.Trees don‟t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush (苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected.Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green-ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect.According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter, the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green.On average cities are typically1. 8 to 5. 4F warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes evenmore than climate warming and can affect the allergy and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators(授粉媒介).Despite the worries and concern, it isn‟t all bad news. “With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide, ”A researcher said. “Hopefully they‟d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help mitigate the urban heating effect in cities. ”8．What is the purpose of the text?A．To reveal how trees survive bitter winters.B．To warn how human activities disturb nature.C．To explain why trees turn green earlier in cities.D．To clarify how trees turning green earlier benefits cities.9．How did the scientists conduct their research?A．Bringing out urban heat island effect.B．Developing pictures shot by the satellite.C．Allowing the city environment to reveal itself.D．Comparing the green-up time in sample cities.10．Which of the following elements contributes to trees turning green earlier?A．Street lamps. B．Water cycle. C．Road signs. D．Plant pollinators.11．What does the underlined word “mitigate”mean in the last paragraph?A．Deepen. B．Develop. C．Relieve. D．Realize.Nostalgia ( 怀旧) has become increasingly common in the current accelerated, unexpected changes. More and more Americans are turning back with longing to what feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters, even decades-old video games.Is it a mistake to miss the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it suggests loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contributes to anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, etc.But new studies suggest that a modest amount of nostalgia is not only harmless, butactually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self-discovery and memories are a psychological response when you want to take a break from negativity. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally, ” says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. “That is such a powerful comfort, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn‟t have to earn our love. ”Nostalgia can turn even the most ordinary past into legends which wa rms the heart and the body. Let‟s not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to countless American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, “After all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then. ”So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, a long-gone family pet, etc. As Dr. Sedikides says, “Nostalgia is absolutely central to human experience. ” But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well:“You can‟t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. ”12．How is nostalgia viewed by the psychologists in Paragraph 2?A．It might leave a person in low spirits.B．It suggests loneliness suffered in the past.C．It saves people from dull reality temporarily.D．It helps to solve the problems in modern life.13．What aspect of nostalgia is discussed in Paragraph 3?A．Its reasons. B．Its benefits.C．Its side-effects. D．Its working principles.14．Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the passage?A．He had a strong sense of identity.B．He took pictures of the good old days.C．He is an example of being obsessed with the pastD．He drew inspiration from nostalgia for his works.15．What is the author‟s attitude towards no stalgia?A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Indifferent,Many people with a combined love of reading and writing want to become book reviewers. ____16____ But most have at least a high school diploma, or often a college degree in literature or a related field. An English degree and a writing degree are also popularchoices for professional book reviewers.It generally takes much patience to become a book reviewer. It‟s important to learn much about book reviewing beforehand. Read as many book reviews as possible to get a sense for the tone and content found in the reviews. And remember book reviews are a little different from book critics. ____17____If you want to become a book reviewer, it‟s important to determine what type of book you wish to review. Most book reviewers focus on one specific type. ____18____ Whichever type you want to review, you should truly enjoy reading it, and be relatively knowledgeable about common themes and plot methods.____19____ Even if the reviews are never published, it‟s important to have samples. Most editors won‟t hire a reviewer without any sample pieces. It may be easier to start writing for a university newspaper while still in college, or for a local newspaper. Another option is to write reviews and post them on a blog. Thus, you prepare yourself for becoming a book reviewer,Most book reviewers are freelance writers who are paid per piece, if they are paid at all. ____20____ In exchange, they will receive free books to review, sometimes ahead of their publication dates. Like any other freelance writing career, it can be difficult to get started, but it won‟t be long for someone who really enjoys doing that.A．And the salary can be high.B．It can be historical fiction, or anything else.C．Some simply write book reviews on a volunteer basis.D．Interestingly, there are different types of book reviewers.E．It‟s impossible to become a reviewer without writing some reviews.F．Book reviews are traditionally less formal compared with book critics.G．There are no specific educational requirements for becoming book reviewers.Budha Magar, who lost both of his legs, hopes to become the first double above-the- knee amputee(截肢者)to climb Qomolangma.Though he will be ________ with special legs, the 43-year-old will essentially be crawling up Qomolangma using his ________.

When the sun rose one summer morning，Mark，a high school student，was riding his bike on the way to school as usual. He admired the attractive sights along the road with colorful flowers on both sides，and fresh air full of pleasant smell. It seemed to be a great day.Mark was passing a park when he noticed an elderly woman walking about 100 meters ahead slowly falling down onto the ground. He felt his heart standing still with great concern. With nobody else around to turn to for help，Mark decided to ride over to see what was wrong with her for himself.As he approached the old lady，he found her lying on the ground and looking pale and weak. Judging from her untidy clothes and messy hair，she might have been out for more than one day.＂Are you all right，Granny？＂Shaking her arm，Mark asked anxiously. The old lady opened her eyes，a confused and lost expression on her face. She hesitated and then took a closer look. Immediately a big smile appeared on her face. Grasping Mark＇s hand，she said with shining eyes，＂John，there you are at last！My son，I＇m hungry...hungry...Give me food...＂She repeated，patting herself on the stomach.Not knowing what to do，Mark anxiously asked her，＂Granny，where is your home？Can you tell me who your son is？＂But the old lady didn＇t respond，only mumbling （嘟囔），＂I＇m hungry. Give me food，John.＂Obviously，she mistook Mark for her son.All of a sudden，Mark realized the old lady might be a patient with Alzheimer＇s（痴呆症）disease because his own late grandpa used to suffer from such a condition. ＂She might have gone out without being noticed by her family. They must have been worried about her. Maybe they＇re searching like crazy for her everywhere. Mark thought to himself，＂But she is so starved. I must give her some food before I get in touch with her family.＂注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

AMost Famous Paintings in the WorldAmong the millions of paintings that are created and shown in galleries and museums all around the world,a very small number of them go beyond time and make history. Below are some examples.The Persistence of Memory— Salvador Dali. Painted in 1931,The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable pieces in art history. This work is known to make people reflect on their way of life and the way they spend their time, and it is also thought that Albert Einstein’s well-known Theory of Relativity gave Dali the idea for this wonderful painting.Girl with a Pearl Earring— Johannes Vermeer. Considered by many to be “the Dutch Mona Lisa”, this beautiful painting features an unnamed young woman looking over her shoulder to stare directly at the viewer.It was completed in1665and is exhibited in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Netherlands.Guernica — Pablo Picasso. The famous painting by Picasso was completed in1937. It was painted in Paris following the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The painting is on permanent display in the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain.Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889,Starry Night is one of the most famous paintings in modern culture, which is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.It is based on van Gogh’s direct observations as well as his imagination,memories,and emotions and was the inspiration for the song Vincent (also known as Starry, Starry Night).1. What do we know about The Persistence of Memory?A. It was finished in the 1920s.C. It reflects the painter’s memories.2. Which painting is based on a true story?A.The Persistence of Memory.C.Girl with a Pearl Earring.B.Starry Night.D.Guernica.B. It centers on people’s lifestyle.D. It may be inspired by a famous theory.3. What is the common feature of the listed paintings?A. They are everlasting artworks.B. They share the similar theme.C. They are on permanent display.D. They give ideas for music creation.BI’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school.But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others.Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities.Luckily,a local organization that drives senior citizens to theirdestinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school.But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media.Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.As my confidence grew,I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything.As these connections grew,my natural personality began to reappear.4. What led to the author becoming shy?A. The heavy academic burden.B. Fearing to talk to strangers.C. The loneliness of being abroad.D. Being unfamiliar with the new school.5. What did the author volunteer to do?A. Help with old people’s daily life.B. Provide transportation for the old.C. Communicate with senior citizens.D. Accompany old people to downtown.6. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3?A. Strength.B. Courage.C. Calmness.D. Enthusiasm.7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A. She worked very hard on her research.B. She experienced a sense of incompetence.C. She was in the same boat as her schoolmates.D. She regained connection with her friends.CForgiving doesn’t mean saying the pain doesn’t matter or what the other person said or did was OK. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means letting go of your need for an apology. It means making peace with past hurt and pain. It means choosing to move on. All of this is easy to say, hard to do. But forgiveness can happen in a series of small steps over time.Take your feelings seriously. Forgiving doesn’t mean shrugging your shoulders and saying “Oh,well.”Cry, feel sad,throw things hard, or write angry passages in your diary to get rid of some of the stress. Talk with trusted friends or family to ask for advice to help find solutions to your problems. You have the right to feel hurt and angry. But suffering these feelings over time does you great harm.Make a difference in your life.I’ve seen that many miss the opportunity for getting back a good relationship with someone else because they just wait for the apology that may never come. Others stay stuck in anger long after the other person has stopped to be a part of their lives.Make a decision to make a difference for yourself. That may be forgiving or being the first to reach out to the other so that you can move on with your own life.Forgive yourself and engage in positive self-talk.Although you may mainly blame the other person, it’s important to forgive yourself with positive self-talk. Feel certain that you can learn from this and move on. Tell yourself that you will survive this pain and that life will get better because you can make a choice to let go.Try understanding the other. This doesn’t reduce your pain but may make whathappened more understandable.Understanding doesn’t forgive hurtful behavior,but understanding can help to get rid of your anger and to forgive.Realize that forgiveness benefits you most of all.The other person may never know about your forgiveness.But forgiving and letting go can lighten the load on your body and on your spirit.8. What does forgiving mean according to the text?A. The pain the other person brought you isn’t very serious.B. What the other person has said or done doesn’t hurt you.C. You don’t care and have forgotten what happened to you.D. You needn’t the other person to say sorry to you any more.9. What is the attitude of the author to getting angry according to paragraph 2?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Uncertain.10.What should you do if you have a quarrel with your close friend according toparagraph 3?A. Wait for your friend’s apology.B. Take the initiative to say hello to your friend.C. Try your best to forget your problem.D. Have positive self-talk.11. What does the text mainly talk about?A. How to forgive other people.B. Forgiveness is helpful for us all.C. Understanding can help forgive others.D.Life gets better if you choose to forgive.DEarth is far more alive than we previously thought,according to“deep life”studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world’s oceans.Despite extreme heat,no light and intense pressure,scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms (微生物).“It’s like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.Results suggest 70 percent of Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions.They’re just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.The team consists of1,200scientists from52countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their study,they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week,which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist,but the deeper they dig,the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum— currently122℃ —but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved (共同进化).12. What do the scientists find about the underground organisms?A. They can’t reproduce and divide.B. They’re the oldest living things.C. Some of them consume no energy.D. Some of them almost always keep still.13. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 3?A. It lasts for around one year.B. It is conducted in 52 countries.C. It promotes technical development.D. It involves efforts from multiple fields.14. Why do the scientists drill deep?A. To break their previous record.B. To find the depth limit of life.C. To discover more ancient microorganisms.D. To detect the highest subsurface temperature.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Earth’s Depths Are Full of LifeB. Organisms Live Better UndergroundC. Earth Is Far Beyond Human ExplorationD. Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land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。

Remember the TV program Seven Up ? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and then catch up with them at seven-year intervals (间隔 ) : nervous 14-year-olds , serious 21-year-olds , then grown-ups.Some of the stories are inspiring ,others sad ,but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way inwhich the children's early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives, for example ,at seven ,Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Nicki ,who says, "I'd like to find out about the moon. " and goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft - spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India. But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so inspiring. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do ,by what they see on television ,or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors ,including Stephen Spielberg ,say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr. Magaret Mc Allister ,who has done a lot of research in this area ,thinks that the major influences are parents , friends and the wider society.【1】What does the text mainly discuss?A．New ways to make a TV program interesting.B．The importance of television programs to children.C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives.【2】In the TV program Seven Up ,we can meet______.A．different groups of people at different periods of their livesB．different groups of people at the same period of their livesC．the same group of people at different periods of their livesD．the same group of people at the same period of their lives【3】 What are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?A．Many people's childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.B．There are many poor children in India who need help.C．Children have different dreams about their future.D．A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.【4】Spielberg's story is meant to show that_______.A．going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about societyB．a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-upC．parents and friends can help a child grow up properlyD．films have more influence on a child than teachers do【5】What does the writer think of the TV program?A．Interesting.B．Crazy.C．Dull.D．Serious.三、阅读理解1.The entire house was lit with lights. It was Meera's wedding the next day. Seema walked to her daughter's bedroom. Meera was not there, so she left the envelope on Meera's bed and went away. When Meera cameout of the bathroom, her eyes fell on the envelope. She picked it up and opened it. Sitting on the bed, she started to read it:My darling daughter, I am so happy for you. My darling is getting married! To such a good man! At the same time, I am a little worried, too. The reason? You are going to a new house where everything is going to be new: the people, relationships and surroundings. Yes, you are smart and Vinod will be there with you to help, but I have a few things to say:Accept Vinod's parents as your parents. Remember that your mother-in-law will have her own understanding about you. So it is up to you to give her a good impression.Earn respect from family members. If that means changing yourself a little bit and adapting to their customs, just do it. It will help you to settle into your new home.Never compare your mother's home and their home. It may not be appreciated.The kitchen is one place where small fights can appear. It is your mother-in-law's king- dom, so ask her permission if you want to cook something. If she offers help, accept it. This will help in building trust between you. Similarly, offer her your help when she is busy cooking. Thus, a new relationship will be born: one of respect and understanding.Finally, respect your husband, as he is your life partner. Remember that a marriage requires trust, love and compromise (妥协).I could have sat with you and told you, but I felt that writing all this down would make you understand better and I am sure you will give your whole heart to this relationship. Remember that both Papa and I are here for you always.Love, Ma【1】Where was Meera when her mother went to her bedroom?A．In the kitchen.B． In Vinod's house.C． In the bedroom.D． In the bathroom.【2】 What was Seema's attitude towards Vinod?A．Satisfied.B．Cautious.C．Doubtful.D．Worried.【3】 According to the mother, the daughter should NOT_____ in the new family.A． earn respect from family membersB． accept Vinod's parents as her parentsC． compare her mother's home and their homeD．ask permission if she wants to cook something【4】What will help if Meera wants to build trust with her mother-in-law, according to the mother?A．Living with her.B． Cooking meals instead of her.C．Making compromises with her.D．Accepting her help in the kitchen.【5】The mother wrote the letter mainly to teach her daughter ______.A．how to respect her husbandB．how to trust her mother-in-lawC．how to adapt to her married lifeD．how to better understand her parents2.By the age of almost four, Elijah Edney has never had a haircut in his life. But now he can ' t wait to visit the barber's - for two reasons: losing his two - foot - long golden hair will mean that strangers stop mistaking him for a girl; the hair will be donated to charity to provide a wig (假发) for a child with cancer.Mrs. Edney, who works in a restaurant, says, "Elijah has always had beautiful hair, so I let him grow it as hew8nted. It' s like silk. But now it is at a stage where people mistake him for a girl and he wants it cut into a boy's haircut. "Mrs. Edney and her husband want to collect enough money-£350-to process Elijah's hair for a sick child. She says, "I couldn't bear to see all Elijah's beautiful hair go to waste and my mum mentioned charities that have human hair made into wigs. "Mrs. Edney says, "If we can raise the amount we want, it will mean a family will not have to pay for the wig and can receive it for free. When you've got children yourself, you hope that if they lost their hair someone would do the same for them by donating their hair. "The two-foot-long hair will be donated to the Little Princess Trust (小公主信托基金) to make a wig for children suffering cancer. Elijah keeps telling people he is giving his hair to poor princesses and he is so excited about it.A spokesman for the Little Princess Trust says, "We're very grateful to anyone who decides to have their hair cut to donate it to the Little Princess Trust. As a result of hair donations like this, the charity receives real-hair wigs for free to pass on to families whose children have sadly lost their own hair through cancer treatment.
