Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there. Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protectus from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered with snow and ice.!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water—a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.21. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. BusB. ShipC. TrainD. Airplane22. Why did they pay a fine?A.Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t wait in line.C. Because they came to the airport late.D. Because their bag was overweight.23.What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A.The flight to SeattleB. The breakfast in the airportC. The visit to Mount RainierD. The discovery of a small stream24. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlifeB. To take a shortcut to save timeC. To avoid the snowy roadD. To avoid being attacked by animalsBAre your children liked by their teachers? All parents want their children to impress their teachers and succeed in school. You can get your children to impress their teachers by following these easy steps.Make sure they’re prepared. Teachers are impressed by children coming to school prepared to learn. Make sure they have everything they need—pencils, textbooks, erasers and so on.Require them to be active in class. Teach them to ask teachers questions when they don’t understand something, some children think teachers are bothered by questions, but most teachers are impressed when children take the initiative(采取主动) in asking questions. They should take part in class discussions, giving their opinions politely.Keep your children healthy. If your children are tired and hungry, they won’t be ready to learn. Children need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Feed your children a solid breakfast and prepare a healthy lunch. Provide them with fruit and other healthy foods—apples or bananas are better for them than cookies.Make sure that your children do their homework. If they really don’t understand it , discuss it with them patiently. Don’t help them do their homework. Teachers can always tell who it is that does the work.Teach your children good manners and habits. Children need to arrive at the school punctually, and be polite to their teachers and classmates. Parents need to teach these skills at home. Nothing is sweeter than children who say”please” and “thank you”, and these are children their teachers are certain to love.25.The first paragraph serves as .A.an explanationB. an introductionC. a backgroundD. an example26.What should parents do according to the passage?A.They should ask their children’s teachers questions at times.B.They should prepare their children cookies as well as fruits.C.They have to require their children to get materials for learning themselves.D.They ought to have discussions over difficulties with their children patiently.A.Help your children to impress their teachers at school.B.Ask your children to get ready for classes before going to schoolC.Teach your children to be polite to both their teachers and classmates.D.Remind your children to observe all the rules when at school.CPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in f acial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.28. The discovery shows that Westerners _____________.A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions29. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participants in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the study.D. The data collected from the study.30. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the SoulB. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsD. How to increase Cross-cultural Understanding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。

Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work — The Underwater Museum of Cannes.―The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.‖The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.―The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.4. Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?A. To popularize the features of the locals.B. To remind people to protect themselves.C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.5. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the project was started.B. How the sea grass was restored.C. What recovery effort the project made.D. Why the surroundings were improved.6. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.B. The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.C. The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.D. The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.CA Hug from a Teenage BoyFifteen years spent in the field of education have provided Nancy Marra with many treasured moments. One of the most endearing happened when she was teaching second grade.That year, she decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother’s Day tea. After all the preparations were made for it, each child took home an invitation.Nancywas surprised and relieved to see that every mother was planning to attend. She even invited her own mother.Finally, the day arrived. That afternoon, each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom. As it got closer to starting time,Nancylooked around and her eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking upset.Nancytook her mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,”Nancysaid, “I have a bit of a problem here and I was wondering if you could help out. Since I’m going to be really busy today, I was wondering if you could keep my mother company.”Nancy’s mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other mother-child pairs. Jimmy servedNancy’s mom her treats, presented her with the giftNancyhad made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as they had practiced the day before. WheneverNancylooked over, her mom and Jimmy were in deep conversation Ten years later,Nancywas at a high school to take a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. On the way back,Nancyhad the students complete an evaluation form of their trip. She collected and checked the forms one by one.When she came to Jimmy’s evaluation page, he had written, “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had insecond grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”As they began unloading at the school, Jimmy made sure he was the last one to go.Nancytold him she really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed, mumbled (咕哝) his own thanks, and then turned to walk away. As the bus driverbegan pulling the bus away, Jimmy ran back and knocked on the bus door. He jumped back on board and gaveNancya big hug. “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra. No one even knew my mom didn’t make it that day!”She ended her workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had probably stopped hugging teachers years ago.8. Why was Jimmy paired withNancy’s mother?A. Nancy was too busy to spend time with her.B. Jimmy’s mother didn’t come to the event.C. Nancy wanted Jimmy to get to know her.D. Jimmy could get along well with her.9. Where did Jimmy meetNancyten years later?A. Near Jimmy’s high school.B. At a Mother’s Day tea.C. In Nancy’s classroom.D. On a field trip.10. How did Jimmy feel about whatNancyhad done for him?A. Upset.B. Embarrassed.C. Grateful.D. Satisfied.11. Which of the following best presents the theme of the passage?A. No act of kindness is ever wasted.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go.D. The best teacher must be the best performer.DIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memorythan we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.12. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago13. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.14. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.15. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AThere is nothing like a hug from grandma.But that special gift has become much less common—and thus more valuable—over the last12months.Out of concern for the safety of their loved ones.many people have been waiting months and months for that priceless moment when they will get to see their grandparents again.For one little boy in Rose City,that reunion(团聚)finally happened!Kelsey recently posted a video of her3-year-old son John having a surprise gathering with his grandma,Nana Jane.Because of the epidemic(流行病),the pair hadn’t seen each other since Christmas2019—17long months ago.As Kelsey told a newspaper,"All he ever said was,'I wanna go to Nanas.I miss my Nan.’And it just breaks our heart.”The turning point came when Jane finally received her second dose of the COVID-19(疫苗)!Kelsey and Jane immediately got to planning.and Kelsey decided to take John playground after day care...where Nana Jane would be waiting!In a video,we can hear Kelsey say,"Go see her!"Then little John begins running toward his grandma before she throws her arms around him."I cry every time I see it,I do,"Jane said.It's enough to leave the audience in tears,too—not only out of joy for John and Nana Jane,but also out of excitement for the day when we will experience the same kind of reunion with our loved ones!1.What makes family reunions more valuable?A.Concerns about the safety of the vaccine.B.The slim chance of seeing each other again.C.Grandparents being easy targets for diseases.D.The fear of losing contact with family members.2.What made it possible for John and Jane to meet again?A Media reports of their story. B.Janes second dose of the vaccine.C.Kelseys video posted on the Internet.D.Drop in the number of epidemic cases.3.What can we infer about the audience according to the last paragraph?A.They have the same experience as John.B.The feelings of John are beyond their belief.C.They are expecting to see their families again.D.The separation of John and Jane breaks their heart.BEverywhere you look,people are looking at screens,and then half an hour has gone by before they realize it.Researchers at the University of Washington conducted in-depth interviews to learn why we can’t stop checking our phones.They found a series of reasons,common across age groups,that start and end habitual smartphone use. Hiniker and her team interviewed three groups of smartphone users:high school students,college students and adults who have graduated from college.The39interviewees were smartphone users in the Seattle area between the ages of 14and64.In general,interviewees had four common reasons for using their phones:■During unoccupied moments,like waiting for a friend to show up.■Before or during boring and repetitive tasks.■When in socially awkward situations.■When they are expecting a message.The group also had common reasons that ended their phone use:■Meeting competing needs from the real world,like meeting up with a friend or needing to drive somewhere.■Realizing that they had been on their phones for half an hour.■Coming across content they’d already seen.The team was surprised to find that the reasons were the same across age groups."This doesn't mean that teens use their phones the same way adults do.But I think this desire to turn back to your phone plays out the same way across all these groups.The high school students would say‘Anytime I have a dead moment,if I have one minute between classes I pull out my phone.'And the adults would say'Anytime I have one dead moment,if I have one minute between seeing patients at work.I pull out my phone.’”4.When is a man most likely to use his smartphone?A.When he is talking with a friend.B.When he is late for a friend’s party.C.When he is given a challenging task.D.When he is taking the lift with a stranger.5.What did the research find about the smartphone users of different ages?A.They liked to read the same thing again.B.They used smartphones in the same way.C.They used smartphones nonstop for a long time.D.They shared the same reasons for smartphone use.6.What is the best title for the passage?A.Influence of Smartphone Addiction.B.Ways to Stop Smartphone Addiction.C Difference in Smartphone Use across Age Groups.

An elderly woman at the window was crying and so was the cashier(出纳员)helping her.Then Evans learned why: the woman was informed she would lose her house if she couldn’t pay the tax.He also heard the woman tell the cashier that her daughter had recently died.Evans,a businessman who had just buried his father,couldn't stand the idea of this woman losing her home right after losing her child.He approached the window and said to the cashier,"I'll pay her taxes.”The two women were stunned.Their hopelessness turned to disbelief.Evans promised to go straight to the bank and come right back withthe money.And he did.But when he returned to the office,he asked someone else waiting in line to hand the check to the cashier.Evans was trying to slip away quietly.Obviously,he didn't want the attention.Of course,attention found him.It's not every day that someone pays a stranger’s high tax bill That said,Evans often finds himself on the giving end of charitable situations,though for years he went unrecognized for it.He is the president of a company which owns a variety of businesses,from restaurants to a mobile restroom company,most located in the inner city of Detroit.In2015,when he saw a story on the news about a local boy with a severe disease, Evans held an event to raise money at his restaurant to help pay for the boy's medical fee.He also gave away all the money the restaurant made that day to the boy's family.Why does Evans give so much to strangers?"Doing things with your money is better than putting it in the banks, "he says.As for paying for the elderly woman's taxes,he says he did it"for no other reason but to make sure the lady was in her house.”7.Why did Evans pay the woman’s tax?A.He felt pity for the woman.B.He was moved by the cashier.C.He didn't want the disturbance.D.He felt sorry for the cashier's mistake.8.What does the underlined word"stunned"in paragraph2mean?A.Satisfied.B.Thankful.C.Shocked.D.Thoughtful.9.What can we infer from paragraph4about Michael Evans?A.He is used to doing good deeds.B.He is well known for his charity work.C.He is president of a charity organization.D He is an important figure in social reforms.10.Which of the following words can best describe Evans?A.Kind and Brave.B.Generous and caring.C.creative and successful.D.Energetic and warm-hearted.第二节课内阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，把短文后的选项填入合适的空白处。

专题04 阅读理解D【Passage 1•广东省东莞市2020-2021学年高一下学期期末英语试题】Some of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say. And climate change may be speeding up its loss. New research reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls. It's a huge loss for human history.Salt crystals（结晶）building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests. These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall. This process causes the rock to slowly break down.Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought. These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino （厄尔尼诺）events in the future. These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in the Pacific Ocean.The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient cave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites. It's merely a small part There are more than 300 known eave art sites around the region. The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem, adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention. 12．What is the main cause of the rocks breaking off from the wall?A．Weather patterns. B．Salt crystals.C．Wet conditions. D．Drought Periods. 13．Which of the following may researchers agree with?A．El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.B．Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.C．Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.D．Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.14．Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change? A．Worried. B．Curious. C．Doubtful.D．Positive.15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The formation and patterns of salt crystals.B．The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts,C．The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.D．The threats of human activities to ancient eave art sites.【答案】12．B13．D14．A15．B【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。

The souvenir shop provides attractive gifts for visitors at a fair price.1．Which one is unsuitable for kids of all ages?A．William’s Den, North Cave.B．East Riding Leisure Centres.C．Sewerby Hall and Gardens.D．Withernsea Lighthouse.2．Where can kids enjoy food?A．In William’s Den, North Cave and Sewerby Hall and Gardens.B．In East Riding Leisure Centres and Withernsea Lighthouse.C．In William’s Den, North Cave and East Riding Leisure Centres.D．In Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Withernsea Lighthouse.3．Where does this passage probably come from?A．A geography textbook.B．A science report.C．A financemagazine.D．A travel brochure.In the time to my Peru trip, I found out about a place known as Machu Picchu. It was so beautiful that it made me doubt whether Machu Picchu would even be the highlight of my trip. My first glance at the secret city of the Inca (spelled “Inka” in Peru, which means “king”) removed my doubt.Machu Picchu was built less than a hundred years before the Spanish conquest of the early 1500s, but was quickly abandoned before it was even completed when word of the Inka’s defeat reached the area. It was a place where the highest priests (神父) and selected worthy people lived to honor the gods above.When the Spaniards conquered the area known as the Empire of the Inca, they were known to destroy old signs of worship (崇拜) as they conflicted with their beliefs in a single God. Thankfully, Machu Picchu wasn’t known by the Spaniards, or anyone that wasn’t a local. Until 1911, the American historian, Hiram Bingham, made his famous exploration and exposition of the site.While Machu Picchu is known to almost everyone in the world today, it is quite surprising how isolated (与世隔绝的) it still is. Despite the difficulties of getting there, about half a million people visit it every year.The city is far larger than I expected and much like Chichen Itza in Mexico and has many geometrically positioned buildings. Starting from Cusco, you see signs everywhere that call Machu Picchu “La Maravilla del Mundo” (The World Wonder) and I couldn’t agree more. In 2007, Machu Picchu was named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and I have yet to see a more deserving site.4．How did the author feel after looking at Machu Picchu?A．He thought about it all day long.B．He was deeply impressed and loved it.C．He thought he would come back later.D．He doubted it was the highlight of his trip.5．Why was Machu Picchu abandoned quickly?A．It wasn’t well preserved.B．The king didn’t really love it.C．Some bad news reached the area.D．It couldn’t protect the people against enemies.6．What helped Machu Picchu survive when the Spaniards took control of the area?A．That it was unknown to others.B．That it was protected by locals there.C．That it had no roads to get into the place.D．That it lacked old signs of praising God.7．What’s the authors attitude towards Machu Picchu as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World?A．Unconcerned.B．Doubtful.C．Surprised.D．Approving.“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless.Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, yourlife will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener’s truly arduous work begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.8．What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A．Receiving some training in planting.B．Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C．Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.D．Doing research on the common local garden plants.9．What is compared to getting education by the author?A．Improving the condition of the soil.B．Growing your most favorable plants.C．Taking care of the plants in your garden.D．Selecting proper goals in gardening work.10．What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A．Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B．Your experience can help you understand plants better.C．Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D．Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.11．What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Beneficial B．Creative C．Boring.D．ToughHowever exciting space exploration sounds, there’s a necessary and important point about it that needs to be considered: food supplies. Right now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans, since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space.space explorers.For those who’ve made an effort to try to grow food during space flights, they’ve faced many difficulties, including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity (湿度). However, growing food to add and minimise (最小化) the food that must be carried to space will be increasingly important on long-duration flights into space. Great efforts have beenmade to explore the idea of space farming. Recently, a team led by Federico Maggi at the University of Sydney in Australia have worked out how plants can absorb nutrients from human urine (尿) , as was reported by New Scientist on March 27.After over 20 years of experiments, the results suggested that human urine could supply three to four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilised plants produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia.According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent made from nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine fueled life support system is obvious: By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be created.And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space flights will be greatly extended to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on flights to Mars, or even beyond.12．What does the underlined part “out of the question” in the first paragraph probably mean?A．Uncertain.B．Doubtless.C．Impossible.D．Unnecessary.13．What can we learn from the research by the University of Sydney?A．Human urine is harmless to plants.B．Human urine provides six necessary nutrients for plants.C．Urine fertiliser is safer and more productive than chemical fertiliser.D．Urine-fertilised plants only release a small amount of carbon dioxide.14．What is the biggest advantage of using human urine for space farming, according to New Scientist?A．It does little harm to the environment in space.B．It will greatly reduce the cost of farming in space.C．Urine-fertilised plants are healthier and taste better.D．It could create conditions for long-term space flights.15．What’s the text mainly about?A．The significance of space farming.B．A possible new way to grow food in space.C．How to use human urine to produce food in space.D．Problems faced by astronauts on long-term space flights.The Benefits of Digital ArtDigital art is the process of creating artwork using computers and software. 16 Lets have a look.Digital art is often quicker to finish.Take oil paintings for example. If you create one in the traditional way, you will need all kinds of tools like paper, water, paints, etc. 17 But with my computer and the right software, I can start a digital oil painting in less than 10 seconds.18A computer with the right apps and software might cost you $1, 000, but physical art is pretty expensive. Pencils, paper, paints, paintbrushes and all of the other things you need soon get expensive. And they all need replacing — things can easily reach that $1, 000 and beyond.Digital art avoids using much space of your room.Drawings and paintings can take up lots of physical space. I have many physical drawings which are stored in boxes in my room. Some of the drawings took me weeks to complete. 19 It sounds crazy to say this but they just kept building up. Joyfully, digital art will not take up much space of the room.Digital art makes it easy to deal with mistakes.Digital art gives you the wonderful ability to correct your mistakes. Any time you make a mistake, you can step back from it right away with a push of a button. As for traditional art, it’s not easy to correct a mistake. For example, when your pen accidentally falls on your painting, you may not be able to deal with it. 20A．Digital art helps save money.B．These tools can be very important.C．It takes time to prepare all of these.D．And your painting will be destroyed.E．Digital art will never be a paper killer.F．But they never see the light of day now.G．Compared with traditional art, digital art has some advantages.二、完形填空Talent can come from anywhere and anyone. Whether they’ve majored in art or wereworld.That’s 22 what Liz Powers decided to do when she, her brother, and four local artists founded ArtLifting. This organization helps 23 artists achieve financial independence by selling their works on ArtLifting’s website. Though the website features 145 artists at present, when Powers first decided to shine a light on 24 talent, she wasn’t 25 to make such an impact.Powers was 26 to find that many gifted, artistic people 27 simple shelters. When they did create art, it ended up in shelter basements. She understood that for many of these artists, 28 could provide income.

ArtLifting doesn’t just sell impressive pieces; it helps artists 35 what anyone deserves (应得) independence, freedom and respect.21．A．mix B．share C．trade D．exchange 22．A．hardly B．normally C．exactly D．accidental 23．A．shy B．polite C．busy D．homeless 24．A．responsible B．friendly C．undiscovered D．unavoidable 25．A．expecting B．fearing C．choosing D．fighting 26．A．scared B．delighted C．ashamed D．shocked 27．A．searched for B．set up C．stayed in D．went through 28．A．preparation B．experience C．competition D．creation 29．A．received B．needed C．minded D．promised 30．A．market B．club C．office D．school 31．A．comparison B．similarity C．connection D．gap 32．A．teaching B．supporting C．pitying D．protecting33．A．adventures B．dreams C．pleasures D．artworks 34．A．familiar B．regular C．different D．popular 35．A．achieve B．require C．judge D．admit三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
