I didn’t score.Not a free throw, not an accidental layup, not even a lucky throw-the-ball-up-oops-it-went-in-basket.My father Joe “Jellybean” Bryant and my uncle John “Chubby” Cox were Future League legends in their day. My father as a 6’10” point forward and my uncle as a 6’4” point guard.I was putting my family to shame!I considered maybe just giving up basketball and just focusing on soccer. Here’s where my respect and admiration for MJ was forged (形成). I learned that he had been cut from his high school team as a freshman; I learned he knew what it felt like to be embarrassed, to feel like a failure. But he used those emotions to fuel him, make him stronger, he didn’t quit. So I decided to take on my challenge the same way he did. I would channel my failure as fuel to keep my competitive fire burning.I became obsessed with proving to my family — and more importantly to myself —that I CAN DO THIS.It became an obsession. I learned everything about the game, the history, the players, the fundamentals. I wasn’t just determined to never have a summer of zero again, I was driven to inflict (使遭受) the same sense of failure on my competition as they unknowingly inflicted on me. My killer instinct to score was born.Twenty-four years later, I pass my muse. What a journey this has been. Setting this mark is a huge honor. Thank you all for your love and support, it is much appreciated, even if the villain (恶棍) in me refuses to acknowledge it all the time.24.Why did the author feel like giving up basketball when he was a kid?A. He lost interest in basketball.B. He showed a greater talent for football.C. He felt that he didn’t deserve his family name.D. His family was disappointed at his performance.25.What did the author think of failure after knowing about MJ’s story?A. Motivator.B. Nightmare.C. Embarrassment.D. Shame.26.What has the author achieved Twenty-four years later?A. He has beaten MJ in his achievement.B. He has known everything about basketball.C. He has become another Future League legend.D. He has defeated his nightmare of the Zero-scored summer.27.Which word can best describe the author’s character?A. FragileB. AggressiveC. OptimisticD. ProudCWe already know that plants are capable of learning and adapting to their environment, just like any organism. But a new study seems to suggest that plants can do more than just adapt. They can actually make decisions at that.Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. Plants might be rooted, but their environments can be complex. In fact, researchers discovered that competition and a dynamic environment are what really pushes plants decision-making to its limits.For instance, when competing with competitors for limited sunlight, a plant is faced with having to choose among a number of options. It can attempt to outgrow its neighbors, thus gaining more access to light. It can also attempt to go into a low-light survival mode, if it doesn’t consider an arms race to be worthwhile. The plant might also need to determine which way it should grow to best maximize its resources.“In our study we wanted to learn if plants can choose between these responses and match them to the relative size and density(密度) of their opponents,” said Michal Gruntman.In the experiment, whenever plants were presented with tall competitors, theywould go into shade-tolerance mode. On the contrary, when plants were surrounded by small, dense vegetation, they would attempt to grow upright. But there were also wise decisions built into each of these situations, too. For instance, plants in shade-tolerance mode would make their leaves thinner and wider to capture as much light as possible relative to the level of their competition.“Such an ability to choose between different responses according to their outcome could be particularly important in diverse environments, where plants can grow by chance under neighbors with different size, age or density, and should ther efore be able to choose their appropriate strategy,” said Gruntman.All of this basically means that scientists are beginning to look more closely at how plants work through their decisions. Obviously plants don’t have nervous systems, so more research will be needed to see exactly how these decision-making mechanisms (机能) operate within our plant friends.28. Why do plants need to make decisions?A. They are far different from other organisms.B. They know how to adapt to their environment.C. The environment where they are suited can change.D. They have the ability of learning about environment.29. The underlined phrase “an arms race” in Paragraph 3 means .A. the attempt to growB. the choice to surviveC. the way to maximize the resourcesD. the competition for more sunlight30. What influences the size and shape of plant leaves?A. How fierce their competitions are.B. Where the plants grow actually.C. Whether vegetation is dense or not.D. What small plants they are surrounded with.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Plants can easily adapt to the environment.B. Plants are capable of decision-making.C. Plants can work like other organisms actually.D. Plants compete for sunlight with each other.DScientists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale（须鲸类）became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations（模拟）and knowledge about how evolution works, they concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted, Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator(赤道）and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that whales eat.Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鲸), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants that made food less evenly spread out didn’t affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really con vincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.32. What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?A. The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.B. The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.C. Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.D. Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.33. What played the key role in baleen whales’ becoming huge?A. Man-made climate change.B. Its eating a huge amount of fish.C. The water circulation in the oceans.D. The increase of food supply for whales.34. What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?A. Sperm whales eat more food.B. Blue whaler live much longer.C. Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.D. Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. There are no whale fossils now.B. The whales may become even bigger.C. Global warming has threatened the whales.D. Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018-2019学年四川省宜宾市高二（下）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1. A long layover（滞留）can be absolutely annoying． What are you supposed to do ifyou've got six, eight, or 12 hours to kill before your next flight? Most of the time, your options are to eat an overpriced meal, or to browse an overpriced bookstore． Well, you might have more choices than you think． These are the airports with the world's coolest activities you'd never expect．Munich Airport （MUC）, Munich: Brewery（酿酒厂）toursWhere else but in Germany would you find not only a lively beer garden at an airport but also the actual brewery that supplies it? Airbräu is home to an award﹣winning lineup of cold ones and even offers brewery tours if you've got the time．Los Angeles International （LAX）, Los Angeles: Canine FriendsYou're already anxious enough at the airport, and a long layover is bound to make it worse． Sounds like you need to take advantage of the therapy dogs at the Pets Unstressing Passengers program （PUP for short）．Incheon International（ICN）, Seoul: Ice﹣Skating RinkThere's tons of stuff to do at Incheon International, including catching a movie or checking out a cultural museum． But what really sets it apart is the free ice﹣skating rink and ice forest, which opens seasonally．Don't worry: inline skating（直排轮滑） is available year﹣round．Hong Kong International （HKG）, Hong Kong: Golf Simulator（模拟器）Hong Kong Airport used to be home to a real nine﹣hole golf course, but it was closed in 2015 due to an expansion of the airport hotel． Still, while you're waiting for yourflight, you can borrow some clubs and hit the Golfzon simulator located in Terminal 2． It's probably better for air traffic control this way．（1）If your flight from Munich to Hongkong is delayed， you may choose to________．A walk a therapy dogB hit the Golfzon simulatorC visit a beer gardenD enjoy the beer festival．（2）What makes Incheon International better than others？________A Visiting a cultural museum．B Going skating as you like．C Watching an interesting movie．D Wandering in the ice forest year﹣round．．（3）What's the purpose of the passage？________A To show must﹣see tourist attractions．B To inform tourists of the airport facilities．C To introduce interesting layover activities．D To tell passengers unique airports worldwide．2. When she was just 17 years old, Jerry crashed into the back of a truck that was waitingto turn in a left turn lane． The crash is a life﹣changing one for her． Because of the crash, she's blind in one eye, lost her sense of smell, lost some of her hearing, lost theability to create tears, and she cannot fall asleep naturally．"Initially, I thought I would not be defeated but clearly I was completely wrong． Apart from the medical problems, the hardest part about my life after the car accident was the fact that I was alone．" Jerry said, "Everyone was away at college, I wasn't． I couldn'tdrive, couldn't go to college． My friends who used to hang around with me were there for me at first, but after a while they stopped coming by．""I looked up on her Facebook page, and she said on there: Can anybody please hang out with me today? I don't have any friends．" recalled Jerry' mother, Ketty．In time, Jerry and her mother teamed up with the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make a video． They want to get the point across that texting while driving can have life﹣transforming consequences．In the video Jerry appealed to drivers not to text while driving． She admitted she was checking and sending messages via her phone when she crashed her car into the back of the truck．"Don't text your loved ones when you know they're driving, " said Jerry's mother． "It can change their lives forever．""If you get a text, don't look at it, " Jerry said． "It's not worth it．"（1）What happened to Jerry when she was 17 years old？________A She lost all her friends．B She couldn't cry naturally．C She suffered a traffic accident．D She was waiting to turn left．．（2）What was Jerry's hardest part in her life after 17？________A Having no chance to attend college．B Having no ability to live on．C Having unsolved medical problems．D Being alone without friends around her．．（3）Why did Jerry regret texting while driving？________A Because it caused her a life﹣changing result．B Because she couldn't see the message clearly．C Because she was afraid to miss the message．D Because she couldn't send the message quickly．．（4）The purpose of making the video was to________．A warn people not to use phones while drivingB call on people to help accident victimsC ask teens to be careful while ridingD expose the truth of the car crash．3. In emergency medical services（EMS）, the treatment of choice for unconscious patients that are breathing is to place them in the recovery position． The idea is to prevent getting stomach contents into the lungs．The problem with the recovery position is the same as many other first aid treatments: it sounds good in theory but nobody knows if it really works． Positioning someone to prevent them from aspirating（吸入）is absolutely free． Because there's nothing to gain, very few people do research on things like the recovery position．There is only one study that looked at the effectiveness of different body positions on aspiration． In that study, the recovery position was better if the unconscious person was lying flat on his or her back． However, the best option for protecting the airway﹣at leastaccording to this study﹣was to make the patient lying on his or her belly． It turns out that if you are lying flat with your mouth at the lowest point, then the stuff coming out of your stomach won't find its way into your lungs．Of course, it's not quite that simple． Most of us would hesitate to have our patient lie over completely．The recovery position is taught in a very ________ way． Some first aid textbooks﹣and more advanced texts as well﹣have the rescuer put the patient on his or her side with one leg bent and the head resting on an arm． However, the real world isn't likethat． Understanding what you need to accomplish is more important than how you do it． Keep stuff out of your patients' lungs． If that means you roll them almost all the way on their bellies, do it． Make sure you are watching their breathing and if they stop, roll them back over and start CPR．（1）Why should unconscious patients be placed in the recovery position？________A To assist them to recover consciousness．B To make them feelcomfortable． C To keep them from choking． D To cure them of their illnesses．．（2）Which is the best way to protect the unconscious person in the study？________A Lying with his or her face up．B Bending one leg and having arest． C Lowering his or her head and sitting． D Lying on his or her stomach．．（3）What does the underlined word "precise" mean in Paragraph 5？________A Clear and accurate．B Perfect and helpful．C Valuable andimportant． D Simple and interesting．．（4）What does the author mainly tell us in the passage？________A First aid is necessary for an unconscious patient．B A suitable recovery position in first aid is important．C Reading books about first aid can help treat some patients．D Laying a patient on the ground can help him or her recover．4. Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans． But one common human quality that has been difficult for engineers to recreate in machines is humor．Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence, or AI． Some have performed better than humans in tests designed to measure machine intelligence．Computer scientists have also hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor． But these attempts have mostly failed．Kiki Hempelmann is a computational language expert who studies humor at Texas A&M University． "Artificial intelligence will never get jokes like humans do, " he told the Associated Press． The main problem, Hempelmann says, is that robots completely miss the context of humor．Tristan Miller is a computer scientist and linguist at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany． In one research project, he studied more than 10, 000 puns（双关语）．Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings． For example, you could say, "Balloons do not like pop music．" The word "pop" can be a way of saying popularmusic; or, "pop" can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes．But a robot might not get the joke． Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand．Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University's Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots． It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm（讽刺）, he noted． Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another．But Texas A&M's Kiki Hempelmann is not sure such attempts are a good idea． "Teaching AI systems humor is dangerous because they may find it where it isn't, and they may use it where it's inappropriate, " he said． "Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny, " he added．（1）Which is difficult for robots to gain according to the passage？________A Thinking．B Humor．C Intelligence．D Action．．（2）What does Kiki mean by saying robots' missing the context of humor？________a． They lack creativity and skills．b． They have no sense of humor at all．c． They don't understand the situation．d． They have no related ideas that make a joke funny．A abB acC bdD cd．（3）What's the main idea of the last paragraph？________A The risk of teaching humor to AI．B The necessity of making AI smart．C The reason to keep robots humorous．D The possibility of robot understanding humor．．（4）Which is the best title of the passage？________A To Be Smarter， Be Humorous．B AI can Get Jokes Like Humans．C How to Help Robots Learn Humor？D Why Robot Humor Mostly Falls Flat．第二节（共1小题：每小题10分，满分10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.
