Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Scientists identify vast underground ecosystemThe Earth is far more alive than 1 thought,according to"deep life"studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of that found in all the world's oceans.Despite extreme heat,no light,minuscule nutrition and intense pressure,scientists estimate this subterranean biosphere is teeming with between 15bn and 23bn tonnes of micro-organisms, hundreds of times the combined weight of every human on the planet.Researchers at the Deep Carbon Observatory say the 2 of underworld species bears comparison to the Amazon or the Galapagos Islands,but unlike those places the environment is still largely original because people have yet to 3 most of the subsurface.The team combines 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in 4 ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their 10-year study,they will 5 an amalgamation(融合)of findings to date before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week.Samples were taken from boreholes more than 5km deep and undersea drilling sites to construct 6 of the ecosystem and estimate how much living carbon it might contain.One organism found 2.5km below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not 7 at all on energy from the sun.Instead,the methanogen(甲烷微生物) has found a way to create methane in this low 8 environment,which it may not use to reproduce or divide,but to replace or repair broken parts.The strangest thing is that some organisms can exist for millennia.They are metabolically active but in stasis,with less energy than we thought possible of 9 life.Rick Colwell,a microbial ecologist at Oregon State University,said the timescales of subterranean life were completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years,barely moving except for 10 in the tectonic plates,earthquakes or eruptions.Underworld biospheres vary depending on geology and geography.Their combined sizeis estimated to be more than 2bn cubic kilometers,but this could be 11 further in the future.The researchers said their discoveries were made possible by two technical advances:drills that can penetrate far deeper below the Earth's crust,and improvements in microscopes that allow life to be 12 at decreasingly minute levels.The scientists have been trying to find a lower limit beyond which life cannot exist,but the deeper they dig the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum-currently l22C-but the researchers believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more 13instruments.Mysteries remain,including whether life colonizes up from the depths or down from chemical processes,and what this might the surface,how the microbes 14 revealing about how life and the Earth co-evolved.The scientists say some findings enter the realm of philosophy and exobiology-the study of extraterrestrial life.Robert,a mineralogist at the Carnegie Institution for Science,said:"We must ask ourselves:if life on Earth can be this different from what experience has led us to expect,then what strangeness might 15 as we probe for life on other worlds?"paratively B.dramatically C.elegantly D.previously2.A.variety B.diversity C.variability D.transformation3.A.distinguish B.faint C.probe D.drain4.A.disciplines B.subjects C.regions D.branches5.A.deliberate B.expose C.present D.promote6.A.patterns B.models C.imitations D.assumptions7.A.rely B.focus C.concentrate D.touch8.A.nutrition B.element C.fuel D.energy9.A.earning B.supporting C.breeding D.generating10 A.conditions B.stabilities C.shifts D.transmissions11 A.extended B.expanded C.calculated D.tempted12 A.scratched B.mortgaged C.monitored D.detected13 A.sophisticated B.feasible C.precise D.rough14 A.stick to B.strive for C.interact with D.see to15 A.await B.alter C.erase D.knit【词汇详解】注意:参考答案是本页右下方:释义及例句来自柯林斯词典minuscule/"mɪnɜ,skju:1/ADJ If you describe something as minuscule,you mean that it is very small.极小的例:The film was shot in 17 days,a minuscule amount of time.这部电影用了短短的17天就拍摄完成了。

原创外刊改编语法填空题打卡Day 31Indian railways have an impressive safety recordFrom: The Economist It was around 7pm on June 2nd when a train travelling from Kolkata in West Bengal to Chennai, 1,700km down India’s east coast, smashed at full speed into a parked freight train in the state of Odisha, 250km south of Kolkata. The passenger train’s coaches were derailed and collided with the rear coaches of another train travelling in the opposite direction.The trains were carrying around 2,000 people, many of _____1_____ migrants from West Bengal off to seek work in the richer south. At least 288 were killed and more than 1,100 injured, many of them gravely.The cause of the accident, the deadliest on India’s railways since 1999, when at least 290 people died in a train _____2_____ (collide) in West Bengal, was still unclear. An initial report pointed to a signal failure, _____3_____ experts suggested that would not normally lead to such a calamity. The railways minister has hinted that equipment was tampered with and ordered a _____4_____(crime) probe.Notwithstanding this disaster, rail travel is not especially dangerous in India, where some 20m people take a train every day. Of the roughly 25,000 who died in train-related accidents every year before the pandemic (a number that had changed little in a decade), most _____5_____(run) over or fell from trains.

This way, we can eat better without even realizing we are doing (6) According to Wan sink, (7) (avoid) “hidden eating traps,” like making junk food easily accessible or eating in front of the TV, (8) help us to lose up to two pounds per mouth.

Indeed,I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and (5) him as he travelled around the world,giving talks and collecting medals.I soon discovered some of Stephen's singular (6) .The first,of course,was that he was very smart.Students are probably always in awe of their (7) and with Stephen the awe was even greater.Indeed,on matters of physics,I always regarded him as an oracle,just a few words from him yielding(产生)insights that would have taken weeks to (8) on my own.However,Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to illumination.Once I asked a question about something that was (9) me.He thought about it silently for several minutes and I was quite (10) with myself for asking something that Stephen couldn't answer immediately.His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he wasclearly having to think about it very deeply.Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep.Nowadays,I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students,so I recall this incident with amusement.The other human side of Stephen is that he didn't suffer fools gladly and sometimes got annoyed.One of the stories put around is that he would vent his frustration by running over students 'toes.I'm not sure about that-he once ran over the toes of the Prince of Wales,and I'm sure that was just an accident.On the other hand,I well recall one occasion when I made a remark in the departmental common room at tea time that showed I had misunderstood what he'd been saying.Stephen screamed “No!"so loudly that his wheelchair shot back halfway across the room under the recoil.I was most impressed that a single word from him could have such (11) consequences.I also learned about Stephen's stubbornness and determination to continue doing things for himself as long as possible,despite the relentless progress of his illness.For example,because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge,I also had offices in both places.I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift(probably illegally!)between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car.I found this rather (12) because I thought he drove faster than was ter,he had to discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible.One regret is he didn't live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.I'm often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群)of great physicists.There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be (13) like runners in an Olympic race.Stephen himself never (14) to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been (15) because of his iconic status.His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous,but I doubt any other (16) physicist will achieve the accolade of being interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.Stephen died on Einstein's birthday and was born on the date of Galileo's death,so it's (17) that he should be connected to his two greatest heroes in this way.I doubt Stephen would haveattributed much significance to this,but he would certainly (18) that we don't understand the mystery of time.In any case,the synchronicity is fitting because his first major discovery was that spacetime trajectories can have singular endpoints where strange things may happen.Stephen was the most (19) person I have ever known and I feel truly (20) that he was my friend.1.A.Otherwise B.Nevertheless C.Moreover D.Therefore2.A.worldwide B.popular C.evident D.neutral3.A.in process of B.on account of C.in possession of D.accounting for4.A.familiar B.acquainted C.intimate D.related5.A.accompanied B.served C.treated D.entertained6.A.habits B.habitats C.tempers D.characteristics7.A.supervisors B.inspectors C.tutors D.conductors8.A.work out B.pick out C.put out y out9.A.bothering B.puzzling C.disordering D.suffering10 A.satisfied B.delighted C.impressed D.amused11 A.distant B.dramatic C.remote D.distinct12 A.fairy B.chilly C.scary D.nasty13 A.leveled B.classified C.ranked D.awarded14 A.claimed B.appealed C.fastened D.applied15 A.outnumbered B.emphasized C.outlined D.exaggerated16 A.optimistically B.potentially C.positively D.contemporary17 A.magic B.odd C.mysterious D.procedure18 A.overtake B.promote C.confess D.acknowledge19 A.singular B.strange C.single D.simple20 A.enjoyable B.grateful C.privileged D.rewarding【答案】BCBCA DAABC BCCAD DBDAC【解析】1,根据前面一句中,我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人,后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知,作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼,但是与自己关系密切,所以用让步比较合适,答案选B.2,由本段后文中可推出,我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。

I’ve heard this logic often, usually after I’m asked if I have children, then, when I say I don’t, if I plan to. I tend to evade the question, as I find that the truth—I have no plans to be a parent—is likely to invite swift dissent. I’ll be told I’ll change my mind 2.______ I’m wrong, and that while I’ll regret not having a child, people don’t regret the obverse. Close family, acquaintances, and total strangers have said this for years; I let it slide, knowing that, at the very least, the last part is a fiction.It is, 3.________(surprising), a challenge to get solid data on the number of parents who regret having children. In 1975, the popular advice columnist Ann Landers asked her readers if, 4._______(give) the chance to do it all over again, they’d have children. Seventy percent said they wouldn’t; this result, though, 5.________(come) from a group of self-selecting respondents. “The hurt, angry and disenchanted” are more inclined to write back than contented people, as Landers observed in a follow-up 1976 column. But in 2013,a Gallup poll asked Americans 45 and older how many kids they’d have if they could go back in time. Seven percent of the respondents with children said zero.

Perhaps in part because I’ve written publicly about choosing not to have children, I’ve had people, especially mothers, confide in me about parental regret, and frequently enough I’ve lost count.Most of the time— 8._______ I hear it in passing, quickly, from a stranger at a literary event, or late at night from a beloved friend—this kind of revelation arises from a place of anguish. Some of these parents talk about feeling utterly alone, like villains past all imagining. Several have noted that, afraid of 9._______(judge), they decline to be candid with their own therapists. If10._______(ask) what I think, I reply that, from what I’m hearing, they’re not alone. Not at all. I hope it helps; I’m told, at times, it does. It’s a physic to which I’ve devoted my life: asked why I write, I often respond that books, words have provided vital fellowship during spells of harsh isolation, when I thought that solitude and its attendant, life-torquing evils—shame, guilt, the pain of exile—might kill me.第三篇本篇原文出自:《The Economist 经济学人》The AI doctor will see you...eventuallyArtificial intelligence holds huge promise in health care.

作为一名英语教师,编制原创试题的能力是必不可少的。
即使在英语课务较重的高中,教师也应定期编制一套原创试题。
鉴于此,我参加了2020年扬州市高考原创题命题大赛并最终获了奖。
这是我第一次参加这一类活动,过程中很多工作都是从零开始的,收获了很多,也给了我很多启示。
编制试题之前,我做了很多准备工作。
首先,仔细研读了活动要求,“对应2020 年高考考试说明(大纲)及2019 年高考英语江苏卷及近3 年江苏卷,由一人独自命制一套高相似度的完整试卷”,再次,我把近几年的江苏高考英语卷做了一遍,这次角度变了,我是站在了出题者的角度,对文章选材和试题进行了详细的分析。
又仔细研读了2020 年高考考试说明(大纲)。
查阅了试题编制的相关论文和书籍,收看了有关江苏高考英语的专家讲座。
一、选材阶段本次活动对选材的要求比较高,必须是原汁原味的,还要提供原文的出处,如网址、外刊来源等。
我查阅了相关资料,知晓了历年高考英语试题文章来源的占比,原来高考英语真题的选材,主要来源于以下几类:45% 来自严肃媒体;16% 来自专业刊物;26% 来自生活类信息;13% 来自都市小报的国外主流期刊网站等。
在搜集材料前做到心中有数,有方向性和针对性。
我下载了数十本外刊合集,有《经济学人》(The Econo-mist)、《纽约时报》(The New York Times)、《读者文摘》(Reader's digest)等,花了好多天时间,敲定了几篇,总是选定了又因种种原因否定掉。

Indeed,I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and (5) him as he travelled around the world,giving talks and collecting medals.I soon discovered some of Stephen's singular (6) .The first,of course,was that he was very smart.Students are probably always in awe of their (7) and with Stephen the awe was even greater.Indeed,on matters of physics,I always regarded him as an oracle,just a few words from him yielding(产生)insights that would have taken weeks to (8) on my own.However,Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to illumination.Once I asked a question about something that was (9) me.He thought about it silently for several minutes and I was quite (10) with myself for asking something that Stephen couldn't answer immediately.His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he was clearly having to think about it very deeply.Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep.Nowadays,I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students,so I recall this incident with amusement.The other human side of Stephen is that he didn't suffer fools gladly and sometimes got annoyed.One of the stories put around is that he would vent his frustration by running over students 'toes.I'm not sure about that-he once ran over the toes of the Prince of Wales,and I'm sure that was just an accident.On the other hand,I well recall one occasion when I made a remark in the departmental common room at tea time that showed I had misunderstood what he'd been saying.Stephen screamed “No!"so loudly that his wheelchair shot back halfway across the room under the recoil.I was most impressed that a single word from him could have such (11) consequences.I also learned about Stephen's stubbornness and determination to continue doing things for himself as long as possible,despite the relentless progress of his illness.For example,because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge,I also had offices in both places.I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift(probably illegally!)between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car.I found this rather (12) because I thought he drove faster than was ter,he had to discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible.One regret is he didn't live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.I'm often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群)of great physicists.There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be (13) like runners in an Olympic race.Stephen himself never (14) to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been (15) because of his iconic status.His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous,but I doubt any other (16) physicist will achieve the accolade of being interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.Stephen died on Einstein's birthday and was born on the date of Galileo's death,so it's (17) that he should be connected to his two greatest heroes in this way.I doubt Stephen would have attributed much significance to this,but he would certainly (18) that we don't understand the mystery of time.In any case,the synchronicity is fitting because his first major discovery was that spacetime trajectories can have singular endpoints where strange things may happen.Stephen was the most (19) person I have ever known and I feel truly (20) that he was my friend.1.A.Otherwise B.Nevertheless C.Moreover D.Therefore2.A.worldwide B.popular C.evident D.neutral3.A.in process of B.on account of C.in possession of D.accounting for4.A.familiar B.acquainted C.intimate D.related5.A.accompanied B.served C.treated D.entertained6.A.habits B.habitats C.tempers D.characteristics7.A.supervisors B.inspectors C.tutors D.conductors8.A.work out B.pick out C.put out y out9.A.bothering B.puzzling C.disordering D.suffering10 A.satisfied B.delighted C.impressed D.amused11 A.distant B.dramatic C.remote D.distinct12 A.fairy B.chilly C.scary D.nasty13 A.leveled B.classified C.ranked D.awarded14 A.claimed B.appealed C.fastened D.applied15 A.outnumbered B.emphasized C.outlined D.exaggerated16 A.optimistically B.potentially C.positively D.contemporary17 A.magic B.odd C.mysterious D.procedure18 A.overtake B.promote C.confess D.acknowledge19 A.singular B.strange C.single D.simple20 A.enjoyable B.grateful C.privileged D.rewarding【答案】BCBCA DAABC BCCAD DBDAC【解析】1,根据前面一句中,我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人,后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知,作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼,但是与自己关系密切,所以用让步比较合适,答案选B.2,由本段后文中可推出,我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。
