That's a second faster than the record Phelps set at the same event in 1995 with a time of 1: 10. 48 in the same category of boys under 10.Clark, a rising fifth-grader who is Filipino-American, told HuffPost he's been dreaming about breaking Phelps' record ever since he started swimming competitively at age 7."I was so motivated,"Clarksaid about his win."I was so happy that I was able to beat that record.”Phelps competed in his first Olympics at age 15. He went on to become the mostdecoratedOlympian in history, with 28 medals overall. “Everyone in the crowd was excited when they realized what a special swim they had just seen when we announced the long-standing record had been broken,"Cindy Rowland,Pacific Swimming's director, wrote in an email.Clarkwon first place for all the swimming events he competed in at this year's Far Western Championships. Pacific Swimming or PacSwim, a regional association that is part of USA Swimming, organizes the Far Western Long Course Championships. Cynthia Apuada,Clark' s mother,said that her child seems to be “living by his name at this point”。

S. theaters and HBO Max on Dec.25，nine days after it starts appearing at cinemas in international markets, Warner Bros.，said in a statement Wednesday. HBO Max subscribers will have a month to see the movie at no additional cost.The film's director, Patty Jenkins, confirmed the move earlier in a tweet, saying that fans should see the movie in theaters if it's safe to do so-otherwise, they can enjoy it at home. Releasing a would-be hit like Wonder Woman 1984 to home and theater audiences meanwhile would have been unthinkable earlier this year, and for decades before that. However, the pandemic has made it impossible for studios to generate the kind of returns at the box office they need to recover their investments in big films. Cinemas in two of the biggest moviegoing markets in the US-Los Angeles and New York City-are closed entirely.Against this background, several major movies from other studios were shown online this year, including Walt Disney Co.'s Mulan. The studios have been typically charging about ＄20 to see those films at home. Wonder Woman 1984 won't have an extra fee, but it will require fans to sign up for HBO Max, which costs ＄15 a month.Under any other set of circumstances, a move like this would be decried by theater owners, whohave long enjoyed the right to exclusively show new hit films for two or three months. However, they've been struck by the effects of the coronavirus. Most cinemas have been closed for portions of 2020 and those that have reopened don't have many new movies to show. Most big films have been delayed until 2021.4.What makes the movie Wonder Woman 1984 different from other movies released thisyear？______A. The approach of releasing.B. The time it will be on show.C. High expectation from audience.D. The theaters where it will be released.5.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？______A. The tough challenges studios have to face.B. Ways for film industry to recover from the pandemic.C. The influence the pandemic has had on film industry.D. The possible success of the movie Wonder Woman 1984.6.What does the underlined word " decried" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？______A. Appreciated.B. Accused.C. Valued.D. Commented.7.Where does this text probably come from______A. A news report.B. A film review.C. A movie advertisement.D. A hit fiction.CDuring the "golden week" national holiday that began on October 1st,hundreds of thousands of sightseers flocked to Lijiang,a picturesque historic town in the south-western province of Yunnan. Among its attractions are the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts（Starbucks included）. They are Dongba pictographs,an ancient form of script（文字）that originated among the Naxi,a local ethnic group. It almost died until about a decade ago,when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it. Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi,of whom there are about 300，000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as in Tibet and Sichuan province. The pictographs,which evolved as early as the seventh century,were developed by shamans （巫师）of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.Over 20，000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi peoplethought about war,geography,astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the area's Dongba priests（神职人员）. There are about 600，most of them very old,including Yang Guoxing, who ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was growing up, "everyone was too busy farming" to learn it. Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture, he says.Signs at bus stations in rural Yunnan encourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute,says this is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp "the very spirit of their own culture". And this will also help tourism to develop in Lijiang.8.What do we know about the Dongba script？______A. It is widely used by local people.B. It was a tool used by certain people.C. It was quite popular at certain periods.D. It has a history of more than 3000 years.9.According to Yang Guoxing, what makes it difficult to spread the Dongba script______A. Only priests can read it.B. It's extremely hard to read.C. Its value hasn't been fully recognized.D. People are too busy to learn a new language.10.What has been done to keep the Dongba script alive？______A. New schools are opened to teach it.B. Some tourists are invited to preserve it.C. Only the Dongba script can be used in schools.D. People are more exposed to this language than before.11.What is the best title of the text______A. The Dongba Script Is DyingB. The History of the Dongba ScriptC. The Dongba Script Survives in LijiangD. The Influence of the Dongba ScriptDBig, old trees are dying faster than in the past, leaving younger, less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide. They give us paper and fuel, as well as vital ecological services-like cleaning the air, storing carbon and providing habitat. We're talking about trees, of course. But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.In a new study, scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death. They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation. And they found that worldwide, older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature, wildfires, drought and pathogens（病原菌）."And most of the drivers of that decrease in large, old trees are increasing themselves, such as temperature is going up, droughts are more severe, wildfires, windstorms and deforestation are all on the increase-although variable across the globe-they're generally increasing. And so for both the loss has already occurred, but we expect more continued loss of big, old trees." said Nate McDowell, an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab, who was one of the study's authors."So if we have an increasing rate of death, particularly of the larger, older trees, what's left are the younger trees. So that's why, on average, through the loss of bigger, older trees, our forests are becoming inherently（天生地）younger and shorter."This trend is a problem, because old trees are vitally important."For sure,the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere. The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective：old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do. And the third reason is aesthetic：as a society, we care about these trees. We have national parks named after these big trees. So there's a personal reason for people to care about this as well."12.What has the new study found about the forests？______A. Forests are getting younger and shorter.B. Many factors cause the death of big old trees.C. Old trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.D. The death of big old trees influences biodiversity.13.What do the underlined words " the drivers" in Paragraph 3 refer to______A. The death rates of big old trees.B. The trends in the death of big old trees.C. The human changes to the environment.D. The factors causing high death rate of old trees.14.How is the significance of big old trees illustrated？______A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing reasons.C. By listing facts.D. By providing figures.15.What's the purpose of the text______A. To call on people to protect old trees.B. To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.C. To share the findings of a new study about trees.D. To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you invest too much value into words added by strangers？No matter what you do or say,or how you act,people will always give their opinions about you.（1）______ Otherwise,you'll allow others' opinions to not only hurt you,but often define you. Here are ways to stop caring about what other people think of you.Keep in mind not everyone cares. Everyone is troubled by anxiety, and they might be too busy to immediately recognize yours. （2）______ They're always too busy thinking about their families, work, and whatever else to form a detailed opinion about you.Think about who you want to be.

There will be people who will accept all of you and people who will be supportive and kind. These are the people who deserve to walk with you.（5）______ You may worry about ending up looking like a fool because of a mistake, but mistakes are unavoidable. When you overcome your fear of making mistakes and build resilience to the pain that may come from failure, you will be unstoppable.

高考英语二轮专题限时训练(37)科普知识型阅读理解(1)及答案
专题限时训练(三十七) [科普知识型阅读理解(一)](限时：25分钟)(一)DNA left at a crime scene could be used in the future to build up a picture of an offender's face, which was revealed tonight.A first step towards genetic mugshots has been taken by researchers in the US who link specific DNA markers with face shapes. To identify the genes, they focused on known mutations(突变) that cause changes of the face and head. Normal versions of these genes were found to influence individual features. For instance, one gene affected the lips, another the shape and configuration of bones around the eyes, and a third the appearance of the midface and skull. In total, 20 genes had “significant effects” on facial appearance.Lead scientist Professor Mark Shriver, from the Pennsylvania State University, said, “We use DNA to match to an individual or identify an individual, but we can get so much more from DNA. Currently we can't go from DNA to a face, or from a face to DNA, but it should be possible.” The implications are farreaching, raising the possibility of creating a data bank of facial types based on genetic markers. DNA from a crime scene could then be used to produce a rough image of the face of an offender or victim. S uch genetic mugshots may be more reliable than computergenerated “Efits” based on witnesses' memory. Other uses of the technique might include proving the identities of fathers in paternity cases, or visualizing our remote ancestors from fossil DNA.The scientists wrote in the online journal Public Library of Science Genetics，“Such predictive modelling could be forensically useful. For example, DNA left at crime scenes could be tested and faces could be predicted in order to help to narrow the pool of potential suspects. Further, our methods could be used to predict the facial features of descendants, deceased ancestors, and even extinct human species. In addition, these methods could prove to be useful diagnostic tools.” The team developed a model which first established a range of physical face shapes from people of mixed West African and European ancestry from the US, Brazil and Cape Verde. Measurements were taken of thousands of point coordinates on grids placed over 3D images of the faces.Statistical methods were then used to determine the relationship between facial differences and the effects of genders, ethnic ancestry and individual gene variants.1．The underlined word “mugshots” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”．A．different faces B．characteristicsC．pictures of faces D．genders2．What can be inferred from the passage?A．DNA has been used to build up a picture of an offender's face.B．It may be much easier to catch criminals with the help of DNA.C．In all, 20 genes had“significant effects”on facial appearance.D．One gene can affect more than one part of your face.3．According to Professor Mark Shriver, we know________.A．they can merely match to an individual or identify an individualB．there is a possibility of going from DNA to a faceC．DNA could be used to produce a rough image of an offender's faceD．this technology is more reliable than computergenerated “Efits”4．What is the most possible title of the passage?A．Creating a data bank of DNAB．Recognizing the DNA of criminalsC．Predicting the locations of offences using DNAD．Building up an image of an offender's face from DNA(二)The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆)．Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country's largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate's owners saved 3.5 million on a 36 million building because air conditioning plant didn't have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fo rtyeight brick chimneys.During summer's cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level, and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃at night.“You couldn't do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters，”Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃， with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in a irconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.5．Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A．It was designed in a smaller size.B．No air conditioners were fixed in.C．Its heating system was less advanced.D．It used rather different building materials.6．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．Fresh air from outside. B．Heat in the building.C．A hollow space. D．A baseboard vent.7．Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficiently in New York?A．New York has less clear skies as Harare.B．Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C．New York covers a larger area than Harare.D．Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.8．The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate's temperature control system________.A．allows a wide range of temperaturesB．functions well for most of the yearC．can recycle up to 30% of the airD．works better in hot seasons(三)Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory(APL) in Howard County, Maryland have designed a new humanlike robot. Its name is Roho Sally. The machine can be controlled from a distance and can be used to do work that is dangerous for human beings.Roho Sally has two long arms with humanlike hands. She ca n use her fingers to pick up small objects, examine them in detail and do most things that human hands can do. Each finger contains a tiny motor, capable of squeezing 20 pounds of pinch force, enough to defuse a bomb under the direction of an operator. She sits on a metal base with wheels that let her move around, turn in tight spaces and climb over small objects.Mike McLoughlin is the main investigator for the Applied Physics Laboratory's Prosthetics Programme.“The purpose of that programme is to deve lop prosthetic arms that have all the capability of your natural arms, and you do all the complex motions that you can do with the natural arms—with the robot.”It was a difficult job. Mr McLoughlin says the device had to have many small motors to have the ability to do what a human hand does. It also needed to have humanlike strength. The thumb was especially difficult because it permits the hand to hold objects. And everything had to fit into a space about the size of a human hand.The next problem, h e says, was to figure out how to control the artificial hand.“So we had to figure out how to make the connection between the brain and this arm.”For searchandrescue duties, Roho Sally will be operated by a human being using a wireless machinethat is far from the robot.

They loved and hated andquarreled with each other, like men. They were gods, though, and could not kill eachother because they were immortal. They were, however, subject to a higher power which Line 5 they called Necessity.Many of the myths are beautiful, but some are not. They seem to say that the gods rose from savagery, just as men did, and were not always sure what was good andnoble. The Greeks thought of the gods as friendly people, rather like themselves.

He was fourteen minutes behind time, and thethrottle was wide open. As a result, when he swung around the curve at the flowerbed, a wheel of his cart destroyed a tulip. Number 36 slowed down at once and looked Line 5 guiltily at his father, who was mowing the lawn. The doctor had his back to the accident, and he continued to pace slowly to and fro, pushing the mower.Jim dropped the handle of the cart. He looked at his father and at the broken flower. Finally, he went to the tulip and tried to stand it up, but it would only hanglimply from his hand. Jim could not repair it.

In 1836, Andrew Crosse actually believed he sawmicroscopic insects appearing as a by-product of his research. He had wanted to createminerals artificially by sending an electrical current through certain chemicals. Crosse Line 5 recorded what he observed through his microscope-small, white projections growing from an electrified stone. He observed that, after he had electrified the stone, eachprojection became “a perfect insect, standing erect on a few bristles which formed its tail.” Crosse reported that the smaller insects had six legs and the larger ones, eight. Heguessed them to be a previously unobserved specimen genus Arcurus, said they flew10 about the laboratory, hiding in dark spots as though avoiding light.In 1872, Bastian, a noted English biologist, also claimed to have witnessed spontaneous development of life in his microscope. But when colleagues repeatedhis experiments, taking precautions against bacteria in the air, the results weredisappointing. In 1906, Burke, using radium, thought he had developed half-living,15 half-crystalline forms which he called “radiobes”. Other scientists, however, failed toconfirm Burke’s findings.23.When Andrew Crosse bean hisexperiments, he was trying to(A)determine the number of legscharacteristic of the genusArcurus(B)test the reactions of the genusArcurus to light(C)study certain minerals todetermine their ability to conductelectrical current(D)produce artificial mineralsthrough the application ofelectrical current to chemicals(E)prove that microscopic insectsgrow from electrified minerals24.According to the passage, Burkeclassified a “radiobe ” as which of the following?(A)a vegetable(B)an animal(C)a mineral(D)part vegetable and part animal(E)part living and part non-living 25.It can be inferred that the living formsthat Bastian observed with hismicroscope were actually(A)radiobe specimens(B)members of the genus Arcurus(C)multiplying bacteria in the air(D)insects capable of standing ontheir tails(E)projections from the electrifiedstone26.Which of the following would theauthor probably believe bestestablishes the truth or falsehood of ascientist’s claims?(A)reading the scientist’s notes(B)repeating the scientist’s originalexperiment(C)checking the scientist’sbackground and qualifications(D)examining the scientist’sequipment for defects(E)studying the previous scientificinvestigation in the field27.The passage is primarily concernedwith(A)proving that life cannot developout of mineral matter(B)describing how experiments canbe carefully controlled(C)showing how some scientistsmisunderstand what they see(D)demonstrating that amateurscientists often are moresuccessful than professionals(E)criticizing scientist for failure toconfirm the findings of Crosse,Bastian, and Burke28.According to the passage, AndrewCrosse believed that the things he saw in his(A)insects(B)chemicals(C)light rays(D)dark spots(E)electrical currents29.According to the passage, which ofthe following did Burke use inconducting his experiments?(A)radium(B)crystals(C)bacteria(D)radio waves(E)electrified stonesWomen played an important part in the Hopi society. Although Hopi political leaders and warriors were traditionally men, both genders took part in storytelling,music and artwork, and traditional medicine. The fields, the crops, the pueblos, belongedto women. Descent is traced through the women; a child belongs to its mother’s clan. If Line 5 a marriage is broken, women typically retain property rights.Each clan is divided into “lineages” whose members are all descended from a common ancestor. The clan organizations extend across all the villages. Children arenamed by the women of the father’s clan. On the twentieth day of a baby’s life, thewomen of the paternal clan gather, each woman bringing a name and a gift for the10 child. The parents selected the name that was to be used.Hopi children learned all domestic skills from their mother. Boys learned to weave, while girls cared for the infants, learned to grind corn, weave baskets and makepottery. Each clan was in charge of certain religious ceremonies throughout the year.The spirits of natural elements, animals, or deceased ancestors, known as kachinas, are 15 welcomed to the village each spring to dance and sing, bring rain for the harvest, andgive gifts to the children.Prior to each kachina ceremony, the men spend days carefully carving masked dolls in the likeness of the kachina represented in that particular ceremony. Followingthe ceremony, the dolls are hung on the walls of the pueblo and are studied in order to 20 learn the characteristics of that certain kachina. The revered dolls are then passed on toThe daughters of the village to give visual understanding to the spirits.30.Which of the following best expressesthe main idea of the passage?(A)The Hopis were governed by men(B)Hopi men brought about thekachina ceremony(C)Although the Hopi, women are ofgreat importance(D)Hopi children learned weavingfrom their mothers(E)Hopi women were responsible fornaming children31.If a Hopi marriage fails, the couple’sfields are probably(A)confiscated by the clan(B)held in trust for the children(C)turned over to the entire tribe(D)kept in the wife’s possession(E)reverted to the husband’s family32.We can infer from the passage thatkachinas are(A)feared by the children(B)valued for their ability to dance(C)former, deceased clan members(D)sacred spirits treasured by thetribe(E)chosen for their influence on theweather 33.According to the passage, woman wasusually(A)The main storyteller(B)Subjected to rule by men(C)The model for the kachina dolls(D)Responsible for politicalleadership(E)Considered the main propertyowner34.A carved kachina doll is most like(A)a spiritual aide(B)the head of a ceremony(C)a casual toy(D)a wall hanging(E)a member of the clan35.It is reasonable to infer that kachinadolls(A)signified a good harvest(B)identified a chief’s lineage(C)represented material wealth(D)were treated with reverence(E)were award to the best dancerMelanie’s purse was pink suede, and the purple patches on it were beautiful, but Alex was very tired of it. A colorful, braided yarn bracelet finished off the handle andmarked it as special; the bracelet greeted Alex whenever Melanie hung her bog on theback of her chair. It was there now. Thoughtfully, he took the bracelet’s strand between Line 5 his fingers, and, without disturbing Melanie, uncapped his black marker and doodled on it.

They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites:Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly plaees and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标), making it easy to read any map, whatever thenationalities of those who produce it. At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps’ advertised idea is ―think global, map local‖. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranning from community gardens to good places of birdwatching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website.Maps MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to exsiting maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World. Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre (古怪的)，such as where America’s drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.60.

Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.Passage 2Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it?

Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty .our own generation has access to more nutritious food .more convenient transport .bigger houses, better ears .and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us .This will continue as long as we there things to make other things, This more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ener before is that the four most basie human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it’s half second.3) Let’s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating(减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welface as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fassil-fuel(化石燃料) electrieity is forhidden by well meaming members of green polucal movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that mes in a flood caused by climate change.

What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. Overreaction to cliamate change may be dangerous.C.

If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.Rent（出租）a roomSpare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed ―rent a room‖ program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.Make money during special eventsDon’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.Live on setRenting your home out as a ―film set‖ could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed.
