Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. 36 Not necessarily.In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer （嗅探员）NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecrafts.37 A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. "Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells." Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health.Another job, the “space tour guide”，may seem a little ahead of its time ——after all, what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. 38Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. 39Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research, said, "We're crossing the boundaries（界限）between science fiction and reality. 40 ”A. But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space?B. Modern astronauts led less lonely and helpless when they work as a group.C. There is almost no possibility that normal people will be able to a fiord space travel.D. Things we've seen in the past in movies arc now becoming real career opportunities.E. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually very important.F. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for human beings.G. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers to help experience the amazement of space travel.安徽省皖南名校2020-2021学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题第二节（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填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余。

2020-2021学年安徽淮南高二上英语期中试卷一、阅读理解1.Lakeville College Employee BenefitsVacationsAll employees are entitled to a minimum of two weeks paid vacation time annually. The actual days to be used as vacation are subject to approval by the individual employee's supervisor.InsuranceAll employees are qualified for any of the health insurance plans offered by the college. Information on the various plans is available from Human Resources. This benefit is extended to members of the employee's immediate family. Part-time employees may apply for this benefit but will pay a higher percentage of the premium.Use of College FacilitiesAll employees, full and part time, may use any of the college facilities, including the library, gym, swimming pool, and tennis courts, free of charge. A faculty or staff ID card must be shown when requesting access to these facilities.Immediate family members also have the right to enjoy this benefit, but must obtain an ID card from Human Resources before using college facilities.ParkingFree parking is available on campus for all college employees; however, a parking sticker must be obtained from Human Resources. The sticker must be displayed on the windshield at all times when parked on campus. The sticker is valid for parking in specially designated employee parking areas as well as in any parking space marked "Visitor." Student parking areas are reserved for student parking only.Taking ClassesEmployees may take classes in any department at the college. Show your faculty or staff ID when registering for the class. Employees may enroll in up to three classes per year free of charge. Any additional classes beyond that must be paid for at the full tuition rate. In addition, any employee wishing to pursue a degree must apply for and be accepted into the program of his or her choice before being considered a degree candidate. In this case, student service fees will apply.（1）Who is qualified for health insurance benefits?A.Full-time employees only.B.All employees, but not their family members.C.All employees and their immediate family.D.Part-time employees and their immediate family.（2）Where can employees park their cars?A.In the employee parking areas only.B.In both employee and visitor parking areas.C.Anywhere on campus.D.In both employee and student parking areas.（3）What is required of employees who want to study for a degree?A.Permission of their supervisors.B.Student service fees and the full tuition rate.C.Payment of full tuition.D.Application for admission into a program.2.Most good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact. Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away. Do not stare.Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation—if only the interviewer would let you. Slower nodding, on the other hand, exphasizes interests, shows that you are validating（确认）the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Tilting（倾斜）the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability（可接近的）.Your smile is one of the most powerful body signals. Everybody looks better when they smile. Offer an unforced,confident smile. Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning（咧口笑）idiotically for the length of the interview, no matter what. This will only communicate that you are insincere（虚假的）.It's worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness. This may be done by touching the mouth frequently; "faking" a cough when confused with a difficult question; or bite one's lips absentmindedly （茫然地）. Employing any of these "insincerity signs" when you are asked about say, why you lost your last job, will confirm or instill（慢慢灌输）suspicions about your honesty.（1）The mouth may make your weakness known by ________ according to the passage.A.pretending to be coughingB.having an unforced smileC.open your mouth frequentlyD.showing your teeth（2）The main purpose of this text is to ________.A.tell you how to communicate with others effectivelyB.show you how to make yourself more understandableC.remind you of respecting the interviewerD.give you some advice on facial signals for job interviews（3）What does the underlined word "suspicion" in the last paragraph mean?A.Understanding.B.Uncertainty.C.Expression.D.Agreement.（4）Which facial signal can cause you lose an opportunity of being employed?A.Eye contact.B.Tilting the head slightly.C.A natural smile.D.Touching the mouth frequently.3.More than 450 kinds of plants eat insects. These plants use their special leaves as traps. When insects land on the leaves, they are eaten.One of these insect-eating plants is the Venus flytrap（捕蝇草）. It grows only in North Carolina and South Carolina.The Venus flytrap has special juices on its leaves. Insects land on its leaves to taste the juices. When the insects land, their bodies touch tiny "trigger hairs" on the leaves. The insects struggle, making a vain effort to free themselves. Then the leaves close up suddenly, taking the insects prisoner.The sundew（茅膏菜）is another insect-eating plant. It has red vines that look and move like arms and can close around things. These vines are covered with sticky drops. When an insect lands on one of these drops, it gets stuck in it. Then the sundew's "arms" hold the insect close.The leaves of a butterwort（捕虫堇属植物）plant also are covered in a sticky substance. An insect attracted to the sticky material gets stuck on the leaf. Then the leaf of the butterwort rolls up, trapping the insect inside.The pitcher plant（瓶子草类）is another insect eater. However, this plant gets its prey in a different way. It cannot move its leaves the way the other insect-eating plants do. The leaves of the pitcher plant, covered with tiny spikes（钉状物）, make a sweet-smelling juice, which insects approach the leaves to taste. When they touch the leaves, they get caught by the spikes. The insects cannot escape, and they drown in a pool of juice before becoming a meal for the pitcher plant.Insect-eating plants are an important part of nature. They do not need to get their food from the soil as other plants do. Because of this, they can grow in poor soil. Some of them even live on trees or underwater. In many cases, they survive after a disaster when other plants do not. They can live through floods and freezing weather and often are the first plants to grow again after a fire. Insect-eating plants are among nature's most interesting forms of plant life.（1）How does the pitcher plant trap insects?A.By closing their mouth.B.By holding them with spikes.C.By keeping them from eating.D.By hurting them with vines.（2）What happens when an insect lands on the leaf of the butterwort plant?A.It drowns in a pool of juice.B.It gets caught by tiny spikes.C.It gets stuck in a sticky material.D.It gets caught in leaves that close up.（3）The author of this passage would most likely agree that ________.A.insect-eating plants are interesting to observeB.insect-eating plants are the most dangerous form of lifeC.after a disaster, an effort should be made to grow more insect-eating plantsD.a butterwort plant kills insects more efficiently than other insect-eating plants（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A.How insect-eating plants get their foodB.How insect-eating plants grow in poor soilC.Why insect-eating plants survive other plantsD.Why insect-eating plants can live through a disaster4.The world food safety could be in danger because of a number of food production shocks （冲击）, according to an Australian study.The researchers from the University of Tasmania found that there were 226 shocks in the area of food production across 134 nations and the frequency has been increasing over the past 50 years.According to Cottrell, a researcher from the University of Tasmania, the main causes behind the shocks are different. For crops, extreme weather events such as floods and no rain for a long time play the biggest part. Weather also plays a role in livestock（家畜）production, but disease plays a bigger role. Disease also leads to aquaculture（水产业）shocks, while in the ocean most of the food shocks are caused by overfishing."When we look at the food production systems, covering crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, Cottrell said, "we find that crops and livestock are more easily affected than aquaculture. And some countries in South Asia are more frequently affected than others."The effects of production shocks reached far away from where they happened. When one means of food production is greatly reduced, it will cause unexpected results. "The India got a lot of food production shocks in crops and livestock, largely because of floods," Cottrell explained. "If countries like India are shocked and the rice production is much smaller, they'llprobably send less goods to another country. And that shock suddenly starts to affect all the trade partners of the major producers as well."According to what Cottrell said, while the international community faces a great challenge to these problems, steps taken now can help fight against unexpected shocks in the future. "This can be done through measures such as food store systems so that they are better able to deal with the effect which is caused by problems such as climate change." said Cottrell.（1）What do we know about food production shocks?A.Their causes are different in different production areas.B.Some diseases are the main cause.C.Extreme weather is the biggest shock.D.Overfishing is the main cause.（2）Which of the following is more frequently affected according to Cottrell?A.Livestock in Australia.B.Crops in Australian.C.Fisheries in India.D.Livestock in South Asia.（3）Why does the writer mention Indian food production shocks?A.To show India sells a lot of crops to other countries.B.To show the shocks can cause unexpected results.C.To show Indian shocks are more often.D.To show India has a lot of flood.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Results Caused by the Problem of Global Food SafetyB.Measures Solving the Problem of Global Food SafetyC.Production Shocks Threatening Global Food SafetyD.The Importance of Global Food Safety二、七选五5. 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。
