But that only lasted until my dad told me I had to put my arms up cow s’backsides. Immediately I rethought my career path. Driving instructor followed, and then somewhere along the way, footballer.I remember the exact moment when I told my dad I admired my sister, who had trained with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a leftback. I was watching the game with him and it just came out, “it makes me sad I can't be a footballer.” H e asked why not, and I answered, because I'm not a boy and no one watches women’s football.” Looking back I can see exactly why I felt like that.At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys I'd never seen a women's football match on TV; the only female athletes I’d heard of were in the Olympics.Representation is critical, and although we talk about it a lot, I'm yet to be convinced that those were represented often fully understand what it means to those who are n’t, and how, without really releasing, it affects the decisions that makes and the general trajectory(轨迹) of their life. In the words of Marian Wright-Edelaman, you can't be what you can't s ee.” L ack of representation leads, at least, to a misunderstanding around a certain group of people, or at worst. fear and discrimination.When I look back at the conversation with my father, I often wonder what paths I would have taken if the option had not seemed so impossible. In June of last year, people across the world watched talented, skillful female footballers play as the Lionesses took on Scotland in the 2019 FIFA World Cup. Among the millions of viewers, perhaps was a little girl believing that she too can be a Lionesses one day.24. What did the author go through on her career pass？A. She stuck to her initial goal.B. She followed her sister's footsteps.C. She took her parents' words seriously.D. She sought advice from others actively.25. What was the school sports like then？A. They had no clear rules.B. They were not inclusive.C. They enjoyed great. Popularity.D. They were impacted by the Olympics.26. Why did the author quote Marian Wright — Edelman?A. To show pity for Marian’s being discriminated.B. To describe the general trajectory of Marian's life.C. To stress what lack of representation can lead to.D. To explain how the misunderstanding is caused.27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The author has been part of the Lionesses.B. The Lionesses is a female team without equal.C. FIFA Women's World Cup will catch on.D. Girls will be motivated to Pursue their dreams.CThe milk carton, made from layers of paperboard and plastic first, appeared in 1952 and soon replaced glass bottles. They were far lighter, could be piled and distributed more easily, and more significantly, they were found to have 78 percent less of an impact on the climate than glass bottles. The Tetra Pak cartons, with a layer of aluminum foil(铝箔) that allowed heat –treated milk to remain fresh, followed in 1961.However, every technology has drawbacks and those of plastics are becoming painfully obvious. Landfills are stuffed with bottles and cartons, and trillions of pieces of plastic float in the world's oceans.Cotton makers are far from the only contributions to the ballooning volumes of packaging waste. In some ways, they're encouraging recycling. However, it is not universal even in Europe, only 47 percent of materialsfrom the 37 billion cartoons, made for European countries in 2016 were recycled.Cartoons are also stuck in a broader paradox(悖论)：as economy advances, people tend not only to recycle more but also to consume more. Croatia’s overall recycling rate for packaging in 2016 was 55 percent, compared with German y’s 71 percent, but the average German produced four times as much packaging waste as the average Croatian.In theory, cartoons are fairly recyclable. When pulped （打成浆）in liquid, their various layers are separated into paper, plastic and metal. All of them can then be turned to other uses. In practice, recycling is currently unfeasible for cartoons, because a cotton is carefully bonded and constructed often with a plastic lid and a straw fixed to the side.This means cotton makers need to do more to make their products not only useful but also sustainable. This involves stronger links with recycling factories and waste companies to ensure that containers they pump into the world are returned and reused. In the long term, they face a huge technological challenge to get to what Tetra Pak says is its ultimate aim -- to construct cartoons entirely out of renewable materials.28. What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?A.To provide examples.B. To introduce the topic.B.To make comparisons. D. To present the argument.29. Why have numerous cartoons ended up as waste？A. Their materials are not recyclable.B. Cartoon makers lack environmental awareness.C. There are no recycling regulations in the world.D. Consumption increases as recycling rate rises.30. What does the underlying word unfeasible mean?A. Urgent.B. Expensive.C. Impracticable.D.Unimaginable31. What is the top priority for cartoon makers?A. To come up with new ways to reuse plasticB. To make their products, the market leader.C. To set up a new standard for the materialsD. To seek cooperation with recycling and waste companies.DBioprinting is a branch of regenerative medicine currently under development. It is a biological cousin of 3D printing, a technique that deposits layers of material on top of each other to construct a three - dimensional object. Instead of starting with metal or plastic, a 3D printer for organs and tissues uses bioink. The main part of many bioinks are water-rich molecules(分子) called hydrogels. Mixed into those are millions of living cells as well as various chemicals that encourage cells to communicate and grow.Let's say you want to print a meniscus(半月板), which is made up of sales called chondrocytes. First, you will need a healthy supply of them for your bioink. Then, bioink gets loaded into a printing chamber and pushed through a round nozzle(喷嘴), it comes out from the nozzle and can produce a continuous filament(细丝) roughly the thickness of a human fingernail. A computerized image or file guides the placement, either onto a flat surface or into a liquid bath that'll help hold the structure in place until it stabilizes. After printing, some bioinks will harden immediately, others need UV light or an additional chemical or physical process to stabilize the structure.If the printing process is successful, the cells in the tissue will begin to behave the same way cells do in real tissue: Signaling to each other,exchanging nutrients, and multiplying. We can already print relatively simple structure like this mensicus. However, replicating the complex biochemical environment of a major organ is a sleep challenge. One of the biggest challenges is how to supply oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in a full-size organ.That's why researchers are busy developing ways to incorporate blood vessels into bioprinted tissue. There's huge potential to use bioprinting to save lives. And the technology opens up a lot of possibilities. Could we one day engineer organs that surpass current human capability, or give ourselves features like unburnable skin?32. What is the first paragraph mainly about ?A. A giant leap for medicine.B. A brief introduction to the bioprinting.C. Advantages of bioprinting over 3D.D. The relationship between bioprinting and 3D printing33. Which procedure is required to print a meniscus?A. The collection of chondrocytes.B. The separation of. filament.C. The use of UV light.D. the supply of nutrients.34. What's the author's attitude to the technology of bioprinting?A. Hopeful.B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Ambiguous35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The magic of 3D printingB. The challenges for bioprintingC. 3D printing：From Plastic to BioinkD. Bioprinting：Can We Create Brand New Organs?第二节：（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两个多余选项。

2023届山西省临汾市高三下学期高考考前适应性训练考试（一）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The library is the heart of a university——its collections,services,and study spaces are central to every student’s educational journey.Let’s take a look at some famous university libraries around the world.Magdalen College Old LibraryOxford University is famous for its academic programs,but it’s also known for its outstanding libraries that are said to include more than11million books.The Old Library at Magdalen College is the crown jewel of the university’s library system.It contains more than 20,000rare books and manuscripts.Nearly all of these volumes were published before1800. TU Delft LibraryThe library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in1997,which has more than862,000books,16,000magazine subscriptions and its own museum.But it will only take a glance to be attracted,as it is a sight to remember.The building itself exists beneath the ground,so you can’t really see the actual library.What makes it interesting is the roof,which is a grassy hill.Trinity College LibraryThe Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland,founded in1592by Queen Elizabeth I.It contains more than200,000of the library’s oldest books.Treasures of the library’s extensive collection include a rare copy of the1916proclamation of the Irish Republic and a beautiful15th century harp(竖琴).Joe and Rika Mansueto LibraryOpened in2011,the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago is designed with a grand glass roof,perfect for staring out when you are tired.The library can hold around3.5million volumes through its underground automatic storage and retrieval system.If you are not already impressed,the librarians,robotic cranes,will knock your socks off.They can locate and bring you any book within an average time of3minutes. 1．What do Magdalen College Old Library&Trinity College Library have in common? A．Both house stringed instruments.B．Both feature attractive designs.C．Both boast numerous ancient books.D．Both gain recognition as crown jewels. 2．Which library possesses its own museum?A．TU Delft Library.B．Trinity College Library. C．Magdalen College Old Library.D．Joe and Rika Mansueto Library. 3．What may impress you most in Joe and Rika Mansueto Library?A．The glass roof.B．The volume of books.C．The storage system.D．The robotic librarians.In1665,Johannes Vermeer,one of the greatest painters in Netherlands,completed his masterpiece“Girl With a Pearl Earring.”On an April day357years later,Janine Strong slowed her bike to stop,paused her fitness app,and watched as the snaking line of her cycling route drew the shape of Vermeer’s masterpiece over the streets of Brooklyn.Ms.Strong creates what has come to be known as“GPS art”—a practice that uses the Global Positioning System mapping capabilities of modern phone apps to create digital drawings with an athlete’s route.It has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people.In fact,the idea has been around since before the popularity of smartphones for fitness like Strava released in2009.In2003,The New York Times Magazine told of how Jeremy Wood got the idea for GPS art.Mr.Wood said while he was using a GPS tracker on a flight and the plane flew in a holding pattern above Heath-row Airport,he was attracted by the pattern appearing on his Garmin GPS device.In recent years,technology has advanced enough to create visual maps in real time using a phone or smart watch.“I get bored cycling on the same path in the same streets,”Ms.Strong said.“Creating GPS art gives me more reasons to hit the pavement,which makes cycling a lot easier.I always have a big smile on my face when it works out and I upload it and it’s done,”she added.“It’s a very satisfying feeling.”To complete her digital vision of“Girl With a Pearl Earring,”she biked almost50miles around southern Brooklyn,carefully checking Strava to make sure each turn,circle,and straight line was achieving the shape of earring and head covering of Vermeer’s original. 4．What can we infer about Janine Strong in paragraph1?A．She tests a fitness app.B．She is an innovative cyclist. C．She likes pearl earrings.D．She is a painter of some note.5．What information can we get about GPS art?A．It is rarely used by common people.B．It arose after the popularity of fitness apps.C．It is based on apps’GPS mapping functions.D．It is a practice of creating realistic drawings.6．What does paragraph3mainly talk about?A．The origin of GPS art.B．The prospect of GPS art.C．The function of a GPS tracker.D．The advancement of a GPS device. 7．Who will be most likely to create GPS art?A．Painting lovers.B．Mobile game players. C．Software developers.D．Running enthusiasts.People are looking to make meaning after the global pandemic.And one way that some of us do this is to credit coincidences—the unexpected concurrence(同时发生)of events—with helping to find jobs,friends and spouses,make significant career decisions and relieve pains.Scholars disagree on the cause of coincidences.Some say they are random and due to probability.Others see God or spiritual forces at work.Still others say it’s our subconscious making connections.No matter the cause,people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us,especially in times of stress.Studies show that noticing coincidences may help boost both the effectiveness of psychotherapy and mental well-being.Michael Schauch,42,an investment-portfolio manager in Squamish,British Columbia,who is an avid mountaineer,lost his best friend Brent last year.A few months later,Mr.Schauch climbed a mountain he and Brent often scaled together. At the summit,Mr.Schauch found hundreds of ladybugs.When he climbed a different mountain on the anniversary of Brent’s death,he saw a ladybug as he started up each new section of the rock face.“I knew at once that it was Brent,and that he was still there with me, as if to say:‘You’ve got this,Mike.Keep going!’”he says.Coincidences can make the world feel like it makes good sense,says David B．Yaden,an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School.Varieties of spiritual experiences show a correlation(关联)between coincidences and an increase in positive emotions，better personal relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.Coincidences are more likely to happen to certain people.“People who are troubled bydistress and searching for signs are more likely to experience coincidences,”says Bemard Beitman,a psychiatrist and a coincidence researcher.If you’d like to enhance your ability to notice coincidences,there are several strategies,says Lisa Miller,a clinical psychologist:Be open to them.Write them down.Talk about them with others.“We really need this deep inner wisdom.”she says.8．What can we learn about coincidences from paragraph1?A．They happen as expected.B．They provide guidance or relief.

Finally, he reached out to touch the insect. To his surprise, he found only wet paint. Actually Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.Giotto di Bondone was born in a poor farming family. Legend has it that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the artist Cimabue,who happened to be passing by, saw him at work and was so impressed with the boy’s talent that he took him into his studio as an apprentice(学徒).In the Middle Ages,an apprentice’s job was to copy his master as exactly as he could, which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas. In fact,art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut. The people in paintings didn’t look like real people,and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level. But Giotto thought art could be something more.To accomplish this goal, Giotto adopted many techniques that were uncommon at the time. He painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something thathad not been done since Roman times. Finally, he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting. For example, at that time the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby in size. This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was young. Instead,Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby,which emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.4．Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1?A．To prove the pupil outdoes the master.B．To stress the fly was vividly painted.C．To relate how Cimabue was tricked.D．To demonstrate art has no limits.5．Why did Cimabue decide to instruct Giotto?A．Giotto would be a helpful assistant.B．Cimabue desired to rid Giotto of poverty.C．Giotto badly needed Cimabue’s guidance.D．Cimabue sensed a great potential in Giotto.6．What can we learn about art in the Middle Ages in paragraph 3?A．It lacked innovation.B．It highlighted realism.C．It bonded well with viewers.D．It underwent great changes.7．Why did Giotto paint the Christ Child as a baby?A．To portray people in a realistic way.B．To try the technique of perspective.C．To distinguish himself from other painters.D．D．To bring a sense of symbolism to his painting.Winemakers in the Rioja area in northern Spain make some of the best wine in the world. But in recent years,winemakers there have been having difficulty producing good wine. They say when the temperature was cooler, the wine tasted better, but it was 2.2 degrees Celsius higher than average in 2022. Now,a genetic research has shown that grape vines living for more than 35 years are better able to deal with high temperatures brought by climate change.Researchers like Pablo Carbonell think older grape vines may be able to grow better inhigher temperatures. Carbonell looks at rows of gray shapes on his computer screen. Among them was a green rectangle,which represents a kind of grape vine that produces grapes that take longer to ripen,even in warmer conditions.A longer ripeness period is what winemakers want. The current vines produce grapes that are ready to pick too early. Such grapes do not make wine that has the right color and smell and has too much alcohol.People who work in the vineyards have long crossed old vines with new ones. Now they are working with special laboratories to find a climate-resistant vine. One of them is the Vine and Wine Research Institute,known as the ICVV in Spain. The lab is working to keep the Spanish wine making industry alive as temperatures rise. The scientists there are studying the genomes(基因组)of commonly used grapes in wine and looking for traits，or qualities，that might permit the vines to survive in a warmer climate instead of looking for mutation(变异)that causes diseases.In addition to the genetic research,scientists are also working on different planting methods.A winery called RODA is planting vines in a curve instead of a straight line. The hope is that plants will soak up more water this way. The new vineyard is made up of vines that were over 100 years old and moved from another place.Maria Santolaya is an agricultural engineer and part of RODA’s technical team. She said the hot weather was very problematic. But,“our biggest concern,”she added,“is what will happen in 20 or 30 years. We don’t really know how things will come out.”8．What mainly causes the quality of wine to decline in Spain?A．Shortage of rainfall.B．High temperature.C．Genetic variation.D．Geographical location.9．What does the Carbonell’s research find in paragraph 2?A．Grapes picked too early won’t have the sugar content.B．Grapes with a longer ripeness period make good wine.C．Grapes in hot regions won’t lose their original flavor.D．Grapes from older vines have a rise in production.10．What is being done to keep the Spanish winemaking industry alive?A．Make use of older grape vines.B．Develop disease-resistant grape vines.C．Replace old grape vines with new ones.D．Cultivate grape vines with abundant water.11．What is Maria’s attitude to climate change?A．Indifferent.B．Unclear.C．Worried.D．Conservative.Imagine you bought a new shirt and did not intend to buy a new jacket,however,you suppose that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. You weaken and buy a new jacket, new trousers,even new shoes.Before you realize it,you have a whole new wardrobe.And maybe an empty bank account.This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot,a well-known French philosopher,was the co-founder and writer of Encyclopedia. However，he was too badly off to afford a dowry(嫁妆)for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s financial troubles,Catherine the Great,the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale，Diderot acquired a new dressing gown(长袍)which had a huge effect on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. Thus, he began replacing them.According to many social scientists,it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to reflect our self-image. In1988, anthropologist Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.Marketers utilize this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is the Swedish furniture company IKEA, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, website and catalogue. One is dividing items like lamps and rugs into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms. Shops count on all of these to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.We may occasionally give in to the Diderot Effect,but knowing it exists can help us resist it so we don’t regret our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!12．What can we infer about Denis Diderot from paragraph 2?A．His belongings were out of style.B．He showed interest in nothing but books.C．He kept on buying new items after the lucky sale.D．His new dressing gown landed him in financial troubles.13．Why are people always buying things they don’t actually need?A．To improve their social status.B．To show off their beauty and elegance.C．To make their belongings better matched.D．To cater for the needs of family members.14．What does the underlined word “utilize” mean in paragraph 4?A．Get rid of.B．Ignore.C．Affect.D．Take advantage of.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Keep an eye on your bank accountB．Embrace Minimalism:less is moreC．The Diderot Effect:a two-edged swordD．Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?二、七选五Expressive writing is a cornerstone of wellness and writing connections. If you are not familiar with it,you may be asking:“Just what is expressive writing, and how is that related to my wellness?”Expressive writing is personal and emotional writing without regard to form or other writing conventions.____16____It is one common tool used by psychologists in therapy and hundreds of studies found that it could be healing in many circumstances such as for cancer patients or those with disabilities.Expressive writing therapy works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience,experts say.

It shouldn’t be used as a replacement for other treatments.

"Narrating a book really is a performance，" she said， "and it can be harder to do than acting，because I can't use my eyes or facial expression to communicate something to the audience."Her narrating voice，slightly different from her regular speech，is crisp and low-pitched.There is no singsong，no up speak， "I have an absolute affection on her voice，with a detached but not uninterested tone that makes her a very persuasive storyteller.When I listen to Julia read my stories，it sounds like she is calling you over to tell you a great story." said Olivia Nuzzi，New York magazine's Washington correspondent.Flynn，an American writer and film maker，decided against rereading the book Gone Girl，opting instead to listen to the narration when preparing to write the screenplay for the film adaptation. "Julia gave me the benefit oflistening to Amy and seeing the world through her eyes，" Flynn said.Just before the pandemic，Whelan began her writing Thank You for Listening.She learned about her writing when she experienced it as a narrator. "There is something about it that changes when you're performing it，" Whelan said， "I read the book out loud during every stage of its revisions but it's different when you sit down and have the microphone in front of you.When I finally am inhabiting all the characters，the story comes to life."4.Why did Julia Whelan make the preparations？______A.

The contribution of Whelan's narration to writing.CAngus Neish dared to hope that his fine-looking cattle，bred at Rodmead Farm in Wilt-shire，would won a prize at the Royal Bath and West Show last month.The annual fair，held near Shepton Mallet，in Somerset，is England's oldest and grandest.As well as a fiercely competitive livestock parade，it features Morris dancing，sheep-shearing and a vintage fairground.Its pony-chariot races are second to none.Many contestants performed vigorously before a large crowd.100，000 turned out for some of the three-day show.Britons love a fair.No one is sure exactly how many shows there are across the country，but at least 400 days of such rural events happen annually across the country.Roughly one in ten Britons attend them each year.It appears their popularity is rising.In late June，it was the turn of the Royal Highland Show，near Edinburgh，where 217，000 people—breaking a record set in 2019—rolled up.It is estimated that the event last year boosted nearby businesses by almost £40 m （＄51 m）.Why do people go Nostalgia （怀旧） is evidently a draw.At Bath and West，as colored flags flapped，visitors formed queues，bought cream teas and listened as a military band played wartime hits.Rural shows also have a purpose.Many fairs were founded to spread the knowledge of new farming technology among rural populations.Some of that mission lives on.A secondary goal is to better educate those who flood in from towns and cities—urban folk make up a decent share of those who pack the grounds.Some consumers also come armed with powerful knowledge of food supply chains—as well as sometimes picky personal preferences for organic，local，animal-friendly and environmentally sound ura Williams，of the Royal Welsh Show，notes that visitors are "much more invested in farming and interested in where their food comes from" than in years past.A last purpose，naturally，is for farmers to excel against their rivals in friendly competition.In this respect，Mr.Neish enjoyed an utterly successful day.In a first for Bath and West，his cattle scooped all four of the top prizes on offer in their categories.Such victories do not bring immediate，large financial rewards，but should boost the reputation of his breeding program.8.What do we know about the fair last month？______A. It saw high attendances.B. It was a monthly show.C. It was a fierce art competition.D. It conveyed British moral values.9.What's the purpose of the shows？______A. To narrow the urban-rural gap.B. To promote wartime hit records.C. To offer an insight into farming.D. To erase competition among farmers.10.What will Mr.Neish gain from Bath and West？______A. An instant profit.B. Marketing strategies.C. A chance to advertise.D. An academic reputation.11.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. Rural shows：Victors' stageB. Masses of farmers：True winnersC. Farm products：Sweeping BritishD. Fun of the fair：Gaining popularityDA team from Newcastle University and Northumbria Uaiversity in the UK has found that the thin，root -like threads produced by many fungi （真菌） can potentially be used as a biodegradable，wearable material that's also able to repair itself.In their tests，the researchers focused on the Ganoderma lucidum fungus，producing a skin from branching thin threads，which together weave into a structure called a mycelium （菌丝体）.With a little more work，the fragile skins could serve as a substitute for leather，satisfying environmental and fashion tastes."The results suggest that mycelium materials can survive in dry and unfavourable environments，and self-repairing is possible with minimal intervention after a two -day recovery period， "write the researchers in their published paper.However，the process used to produce these materials tends to kill off the fungal spores （孢子）hat help the organism regenerate itself.A new approach involving a mix of mycelia，proteins，and other nutrients in a liquid encouraged the growth of a skin.The results are currently too thin and delicate to be tuned into a jacket.However，the researchers are confident that it's possible that future innovations could turn it into a tougher skin，possibly by combining layers or plasticizing in glycerol.Crucially，the production process didn't kill off the fungal spores.Tests on the material showed that it was indeed able to replace holes made in it.The material was as strong as before，though it was still possible to see where the holes had been."Due to their functional properties，the ability of this regenerative mycelium material to heal micro and macro defects opens interesting future prospects for unique product applications in leather-goods replacements such as furniture，automotive seals，and fashion wear，" write there searchers.There's a long way to go here before you'll be wearing clothes made out of fungus.The growing and healing processes take several days to happen at the moment for example，something which could be sped up over time.12.What did the team find in their tests？______A. An alternative to fragile skin.B. Thin threads shaped like roots.C. A mycelium with a complicated structure.D. Mycelium materials with self-healing function.13.What is mainly presented in paragraph 3？______A. The recovery period of fungal spores.B. Crises of mycelium materials' survival.C. Imperfection in producing mycelium materials.D. The method of intervening organisms' regeneration.14.What can we learn about the new approach？______A. It speeds up the creation of mycelia.B. It keeps fungal spores from destruction.C. It makes the holes in materials invisible.D. It combines the liquid with layers of skin.15.What is the prospect of mycelium-based materials？______A. A flash in the pan.B. Promising but challenging.C. Inspiring but unachievable.D. A growth and decline cycle.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。
