核心素养测评三十七选修8Unit 2Cloning(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AAn exciting landing process of Chang’e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a. m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang’e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说), was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the Halo Orbit, nearly 500, 000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments.The maximum distance betwee n the satellite and the Chang’e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79, 000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the e arth’s and moon’s gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the Halo Orbit was first put forward by U. S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang’e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.【文章大意】这是一篇应用文。

BDreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.Cumberland Islands, GeorgiaJust a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, th e stars line up for a spectacular show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.Grant Park, ChicagoIf you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.Cranberry Islands, MaineHere, you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry (渡船) service. Bring a picn ic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.Big Sur, CaliforniaThe Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It’s good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

核心素养测评三十六选修8Unit 1 A land of diversity(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AEvery country has certain cultural patterns making it unique. Of course, habits and customs between cultures and countries tend to overlap(重叠). The popularity of social media, for instance, ignores borders and breaks down cultural differences. Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country, we will always find differences between our traditions and theirs. Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some noticeable differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.Most American teens have part-time jobs through high school and college. Youths in Italy tend not to. The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is, to begin with, rather hard in Italy to find the type of part-time jobs students usually take up. Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially whenthinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, therefore lacking interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work.In a lot of ways, young Italians and Americans spend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially, make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzeria or birrerie (place for pizza or beer), which stays open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big group. In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular (课外的) activities, many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many.When going out, Italian teens tend to meet and gather on the streets of their cities or towns, something not as common in the United States, especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns. Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas(广场) and areas built around historical sites that have now become gathering places for the young. If you’re in Italy, don’t be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street, laughing and drinking the nightaway.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

限时规范练37(选修8Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、克隆科技的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AThe news that researchers have used cloning to make human embryos for the purpose of producing stem cells may have some people wondering if it would ever be possible to clone a person.Although it would be immoral,experts say it is likely biologically possible to clone a human being.Since the 1950s when researchers cloned a frog,scientists have cloned dozens of animal species,includingmice,cats,sheep,pigs and cows.With mice,researchers are able to use thousands of eggs,and conduct many experiments,to work out these problems.“It’s a numbers game,” said Dr.Robert Lanza,the chief scientific officer at a biotech company.“But with primates (灵长类动物),eggs are very precious,and it is not easy to get them to conduct experiments.”In addition,researchers can’t simply apply what they’ve learned from cloning mice or cows to cloning people.Cloning an animal requires that researchers remove proteins that are necessary to help cells divide.In mice,this isn’t a problem,because the embryo that is created is able to make these proteins again.But primates aren’t able to do this,and researchers think it may be one reason that attempts to clone monkeys have failed.What’s more,cloned animals often have different kinds of abnormalities.These abnormalities are common because cloned embryos have just one parent rather than two,which means that a process known as “imprinting (印记)” does not occur properly in cloned embryos.“Problems with imprinting can result in extremely large embryos,which leads to problems with blood flow for the baby,” Lanza said.“The extremely high rate of death and the developmental abnormalities from cloning make cloning people immoral.It’s like sending your baby up in a rocket knowing there’s a 50-50 chance that it’s going to explode.”1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Animal cloning is illegal.B.Human cloning is possible.C.Human embryos may have new functions.D.Animal embryos can be used for medicine.2.How were the experiments on cloning monkeys?A.They have solved the problem with proteins.B.They have been applied to human cloning.C.They were successful.D.They were in trouble.3.How does Lanza feel about human cloning?A.It is risky.B.It is practical.C.It is beneficial.D.It is promising.BIn beautiful rural Montana can be found the town of Livingston.It is close to Yellowstone National Park,which makes it a tourist center.Outdoor enthusiasts gather here each year.Low-income families are more likely to face food insecurity.Around half the students in the Livingston School District qualify for free or reduced-price lunches,according to local educator Rachael Jones,known as “Farmer Jones.” She is the director of the Livingston Farm to School program,which uses the district’s two greenhouses and four gardens to grow food that supplements school meals while offering kids hands-on lessons.Jones said,“In many places around the country,if you can’t pay for your school meal,you don’t eat.Well,here,we don’t turn anyone away.”The town’s school district and community members started the program eight years ago.It’s part of the National Farm to School Network,which aims to increase access to local food and nutrition education across the country.Jones,who attended public school in Livingston as a kid,has headed up the local program since 2014.Farm to School enriches the curriculum in all of the schools through garden lessons,cafeteria and kitchen lessons,and classroom lessons.Research has shown that healthy school meals can improve academic performance,including improved test scores.Though the Farm to School program is not aimed only at lower-incomestudents,Jones said such kids are more likely to eat lunch provided by the school.Eventually she wants to get healthy,affordable meals on the plates of every child in Livingston.It is important for kids to understand where their food comes from.That’s a life-changing experience for them.Jones said,“When I

small hospital somewhere.But then a friend told me about Volunteer Now.I’d always wanted to go to an African country and use my nursing skills to help people.And here was a chance to do that,so I

villages,we taught basic ways to improve hygiene (卫生) and to avoid catching diseases.For example,we gave instruction about how to avoid catching malaria (疟疾) and distributed mosquito nets to some of the homes.I think we did some good.I hope so anyway.3 I was suddenly in a completely different culture,teaching people who had such a different lifestyle from my own.It made a big difference to the way I see the world.And I also made some very good friends out there,both local people and the other volunteers.4After I came back,I got accepted straight away for a job at the university hospital.5
