D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，文章首先介绍了一年一度的密西沙加木偶节活动，重点介绍了儿童专场特色木偶剧，并在文末提供了活动剧场的相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。文章标题“Puppet Festival Mississauga! (密西索加木偶节！)”以及文章大意：文章首先介绍了一年一度的密西沙加木偶节活动，重点介绍了儿童专场特色木偶剧，并在文末提供了活动剧场的相关信息，可知，这是一篇关于密西沙加木偶节活动的广告宣传，最可能来自该地的旅游指南。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。注意选择最不可能的选项。根据第二段“Puppet Festival Mississauga presents live theatre that encourages children to be curious about the world around them.(米西索加木偶节推出了现场戏剧，鼓励孩子们对周围的世界充满好奇)”可知，木偶节推出的戏剧有助于帮助孩子们对世界充满好奇，故不选D。根据Featuring部分“A dog overcomes his fear of the unknown and ventures on a great train adventure!(一只狗克服了对未知事物的恐惧，冒险踏上了一场伟大的火车冒险之旅！)”可知，木偶剧会让小观众学会勇敢无畏，故不选A。根据The Happy Prince-A PUPPET SHOW FROM MEXICO部分“An unforgettable puppet show filled with magic and friendship. (一场令人难忘的木偶戏，充满了魔法和友谊)”可知，木偶剧会让小观众多了解友谊，故不选B。虽然在The Happy Prince-A PUPPET SHOW FROM MEXICO部分“Based on the classic children’s tale by Oscar Wilde. (根据奥斯卡·王尔德的经典儿童故事改编)”提到了Oscar，C选项Oscar statuette是奥斯卡小金人，文中Oscar Wilde是故事原作者王尔德，看似单词相关，实则木偶戏跟帮助孩子获得奥斯卡奖无明显关联，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“Maja Prentice Theatre is a 200-seat theatre located at the corner of Dixie and Burnamthorpe Road, which is home to live theatre shows, musicals, dance and community events, all year round (Maja Prentice剧院是一家拥有200个座位的剧院，位于Dixie和Burnamthorpe路的拐角处，常年举办现场戏剧表演、音乐剧、舞蹈和社区活动)”可知，去Maja Prentice剧院可以欣赏到音乐剧，故选D。 B Going to the bathroom while floating in space can be tricky. Gravity is very weak in space, meaning toilets cannot flush (冲刷) the same way that they do on Earth. In a new contest, NASA is asking inventors from around the world to develop a new space toilet. The space agency is looking for a design that would work both aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as well as on the moon. NASA plans to use this toilet aboard a future lunar lander as part of the Artemis program, which will send humans to the moon by 2024. Anyone can apply to this challenge, and the winning design will receive a $20,000 prize. The second-place design will win $10,000, and the third-place winner will win $5,000. The contest includes a “junior” category in which anyone under the age of 18 can apply with their creative space toilet idea. Winners in the junior category will receive public recognition and NASA souvenirs. Designs should also take up no more than 4.2 cubic feet of space. The toilet itself shouldn’t be louder than 60 decibels, which is about the same volume as a bathroom fan. The space toilet will have to be able to collect both urine (尿液) and fecest (粪便) at the same time. It should be able to hold at least a quarter gallon (1 liter) of liquid waste. It should also be able to hold 17.6 ounces (500 grams) of solid waste. The final requirements are that the system must be able to store or get rid of waste, and it should also be able to be cleaned and maintained in five minutes or less. Hopefully, this toilet will be an improvement on previous systems for waste removal. A waste removal system is a method of disposing of urine and feces. If you are a creative inventor, come and join us! 4. Which aspect of the design is not required in the contest? A. Its covering space. B. Its volume. C. Its time of cleaning. D. Its weight. 5. What can you know about this contest? A. It’s a toilet design contest held by ISS for the American inventors. B. It has a total prize pool of 45,000 to be shared by winning teams. C. For the contestants, there are no limits to your age and nationalities. D. If you are the winner under the age of 18, you will win 5,000. 6. What does the underlined word “disposing” mean? A. Giving away. B. Putting off. C. Getting rid of. D. Picking out. 7. What is the purpose of writing this text? A. To introduce a toilet design contest. B. To attract inventors to take part in the contest. C. To explain the necessity of a toilet in space. D. To show the difficulty of living in space. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍NASA的一项为登月活动而组织的马桶设计的比赛。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Designs should also take up no more than 4.2 cubic feet of space. The toilet itself shouldn’t be louder than 60 decibels, which is about the same volume as a bathroom fan. The space toilet will have to be able to collect both urine (尿液) and fecest (粪便) at the same time. It should be able to hold at least a quarter gallon (1 liter)of liquid waste. It should also be able to hold 17.6 ounces (500 grams)of solid waste. The final requirements are that the system must be able to store or get rid of waste, and it should also be able to be cleaned and maintained in five minutes or less.(设计还应占用不超过4.2立方英尺的空间。马桶本身的声音不应该超过60分贝，这和浴室风扇的音量差不多。太空厕所必须能够同时收集尿液和粪便。它应该能够容纳至少四分之一加仑(1升)的液体废物。它还应该能够容纳17.6盎司(500克)的固体废物。最后的要求是，该系统必须能够存储或清除废物，并且还应该能够在五分钟或更短的时间内进行清洁和维护)”可知，对马桶本身的重量没有要求，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anyone can apply to this challenge, and the winning design will receive a $20,000 prize.(任何人都可以申请这个挑战，获胜的设计将获得2万美元的奖金)”可知，对于参赛者来说，没有年龄和国籍限制。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The final requirements are that the system must be able to store or get rid of waste, and it should also be able to be cleaned and maintained in five minutes or less.(最后的要求是，该系统必须能够存储或清除废物，并且还应该能够在五分钟或更短的时间内进行清洁和维护)”可知，NASA希望这次比赛的设计能够清理掉人们在太空中的排泄物，即这个“废物清理系统”就是一种能够妥善处理人类排泄物的方法，故划线词意思是“清理掉”。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a new contest, NASA is asking inventors from around the world to develop a new space toilet. The space agency is looking for a design that would work both aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as well as on the moon. NASA plans to use this toilet aboard a future lunar lander as part of the Artemis program, which will send humans to the moon by 2024.(在一项新的竞赛中，美国宇航局要求来自世界各地的发明家开发一种新的太空厕所。美国宇航局正在寻找一种既能在国际空间站上工作，也能在月球上工作的设计。美国宇航局计划在未来的月球着陆器上使用这个厕所，作为阿尔忒弥斯计划的一部分，该计划将于2024年将人类送上月球)”结合本文主要介绍了NASA为2024年的登月计划准备的一项马桶设计的比赛，其中包括比赛日期，获胜奖励和参赛要求，结尾呼吁如果对这项比赛感兴趣的发明者就来参赛，因此写这篇文章的目的是为了让感兴趣的发明家来参赛，故选B。 C After two years of pandemic living, people are collectively ready for a vacation. No matter how much we might like to, though, it’s not always possible to take a vacation from COVID-19. The virus is still circulating widely, including in popular tourist destinations like the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy. That means getting sick while traveling is a real possibility — and one that can turn into an expensive and stressful logistical headache. What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally? To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. (This policy applies to both U.S .citizens and non-citizens, but children younger than 2 are exempt.) Without one of those documents, you cannot board a U.S.-bound flight. If you test positive, you should isolate and delay travel for 10 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad?And who pays for extended accommodations and rescheduled flights?Specifics vary from country to country, but the short answer is that travelers are often on the hook. Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay. A spokesperson for the State Department Jeanna Smialek said travelers who must isolate should contact their hotels and airlines to arrange accommodations and re-book travel, and, if necessary, seek assistance from their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC. 8. What do you need to enter the US if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally? A. A negative COVID-19 test result． B. A certificate of health recovery in the last 90 days． C. Two weeks’ travel delay． D. Extended accommodations and rescheduled flights． 9. What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Should pay the money． B. Be pleasant to stay longer． C. Have no choice but to obey the rule． D. Be not satisfied with the policy． 10. According to Jeanna Smialek, which one is not true? A. Accommodations should be booked by travelers themselves． B. American consulate is accessible to isolated travelers． C Travelers who must isolate have certain restrictions． D. Travelers should obey both local and American quarantine rules． 11. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How to isolate during the COVID-19． B. What international travelers should do after test positive． C. COVID-19 isolation spreads in popular tour destinations． D Isolation policies are different among countries． 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章详细介绍了国际旅行者在检测COVID-19呈阳性后应该做什么。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days.(目前，国际旅行者要进入美国，要么需要在飞行后一天内获得新冠病毒阴性检测结果，要么需要在过去90天内从新冠病毒中恢复过来的证明。)”可知，如果你在国际旅行时感染了COVID-19，进入美国需要在过去90天内从新冠病毒中恢复过来的证明。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay.(美国疾病控制与预防中心表示，在“极其有限”的情况下，可能会有例外情况，比如紧急医疗撤离或人道主义危机的情况，但普通的度假者除了付费延长逗留期限外，没有太多选择。)”可知，此处是指游客通常必须遵守规定，on the hook意为“不得不遵守规定”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC.(发言人补充说，美国公民出国旅行要遵守当地的检疫规定，这可能与美国疾控中心的规定不同。)”可知，美国公民出国旅行只需要遵守当地的检疫规定，并不需要同时遵守美国疾控中心的规定。选项D不正确。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally?(如果你在国际旅行时感染了COVID-19怎么办？)”和第三段第一句“But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad?(但如果你需要在国外隔离，你会住在哪里？)”可知，文章主要是讲国际旅行者在检测COVID-19呈阳性后应该做什么。故选B。 D The vicinity (地区), between southern Angola and northern Namibia, is home to a leafy green plant that can live up to 1,000 years. This “Immortal” plant’s lifespan encourages researchers wondering why, out of all climates the world has to offer, this plant finds itself to thrive in the harsh, dry, and quite unforgiving Namib Desert known to reach less than two inches of rainfall a year. Welwitschia (千岁兰), meaning “two leaves that cannot die,” in Afrikaans, was discovered by biologists Charles Darwin and the botanist Friedrich Welwitsch, whom the plant was named after in 1859. Andrew Leitch, a plant geneticist at Queen Mary University of London, explains, “Generally speaking, this plant can live thousands of years. When it does stop growing, it’s dead. Nature Communications, a study published in July, conducted research to discover and identify the magic within Welwitschia’s genetic makeup. Researchers were able to infer, “Approximately 86 million years ago, after a mistake in cell division, the entire Welwitschia genome (基因组) doubled during a time of increased and prolonged drought in the region.” Additional research concluded that repeated genes lost their defining purposes, allowing some to develop new functions. But because DNA reproduction consumes high levels of energy, repeated genes can at times cause more harm than good, especially in severe weather conditions. This plant also has more magic coming out of its leaves. Unlike most plants, where the leaves grow from the ends of its stem and branches, the Welwitschia’s leaves grow from a “vulnerable” area called the basal meristem (分生组织), which supplies fresh cells to the growing plant. The combination of internal and external factors of the Welwitschia has allowed the plant to continue thriving in extreme temperature conditions. Researchers are hopeful that Welwitschia can also provide insight into the agricultural industry and how we can develop drought tolerant crops. 12. What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Grow well. B. Fade away. C. Rise up. D. Break down. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. The Welwitschia must have a life span of several thousand years or more. B. Copied genes can do more harm than good due to energy consumption. C. Biologist Charles Darwin named the Welwitschia in 1859. D. The Welwitschia’s leaves, like most plants, grow from the basal meristem. 14. What can Welwitschia do according to researchers in Paragraph 4? A. Solve the crisis facing the agricultural industry. B Give a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry. C. Be planted as drought tolerant crops in the future. D. Not bear extreme temperature conditions. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Copied Genomes of a Long-lived Plant. B. Two Leaves That Cannot Die. C. The “Immortal” Plant Tells Its Tale. D. Agricultural Development with Welwitschia. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了千岁兰这一植物，解释了其能够在极端环境中生存的原因，并探讨了其基因组的特点以及潜在的农业应用价值。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“This “Immortal” plant’s lifespan encourages researchers wondering why, out of all climates the world has to offer, this plant finds itself to thrive in the harsh, dry, and quite unforgiving Namib Desert known to reach less than two inches of rainfall a year.(这种“不朽”植物的寿命让研究人员想知道，为什么在世界上所有的气候条件中，这种植物发现自己在恶劣、干燥、相当无情的纳米布沙漠中thrive，而Namib沙漠的年降雨量不足两英寸)”可知，这种指物的生长环境极其恶劣，但是确有“不朽”的寿命，推知是在生长，且生长的很好，推知thrive意为“茁壮成长”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Additional research concluded that repeated genes lost their defining purposes, allowing some to develop new functions. But because DNA reproduction consumes high levels of energy, repeated genes can at times cause more harm than good, especially in severe weather conditions.(另外的研究得出结论，重复的基因失去了它们原有的功能，允许一些基因发展出新的功能。但由于DNA复制消耗大量的能量，重复的基因有时可能弊大于利，特别是在恶劣的天气条件下)”可知，由于能量消耗，复制的基因弊大于利。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Researchers are hopeful that Welwitschia can also provide insight into the agricultural industry and how we can develop drought tolerant crops.(研究人员希望Welwitschia也可以为农业提供见解，以及我们如何开发耐旱作物)”可知，研究人员希望Welwitschia也可以为农业提供见解，加深对农业产业的了解。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The vicinity (地区), between southern Angola and northern Namibia, is home to a leafy green plant that can live up to 1,000 years. This “Immortal” plant’s lifespan encourages researchers wondering why, out of all climates the world has to offer, this plant finds itself to thrive in the harsh, dry, and quite unforgiving Namib Desert known to reach less than two inches of rainfall a year.(在安哥拉南部和纳米比亚北部之间的附近地区，生长着一种能活1000年的绿叶植物。这种“不朽”植物的寿命让研究人员想知道，为什么在世界上所有的气候条件中，这种植物发现自己在恶劣、干燥、相当无情的纳米布沙漠中茁壮成长，而Namib沙漠的年降雨量不足两英寸)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了千岁兰这一植物，所以C项“The “Immortal” Plant Tells Its Tale.(“不朽”的植物讲述了它的故事)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2．5分，满分12．5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many Americans suffer from chronic (慢性的) conditions connected to their diets.____16____.

(使用了动名词充当主语) 第二节 续写(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run. Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me? I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy. So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone. Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone. Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first. As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his leg was cramping. I tried to help him stand and move forward, but he refused. He asked me to run after the others so that I could get the first place. I thought for a second and decided to accompany him for a rest. Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together. A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. During the time, the photo got a lot of likes. Many strangers sent the emails to praise me about the incident. In fact, I was a little hesitant at the beginning, but the moment I decided to help Blake, I felt calm and relaxed. I’m happy that I did the right thing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加跑步赛跑，一开始跑的很轻松，后来遇到Blake，决定和他一起跑，但是后来作者想超过他，所以作者紧紧地跟在他后面跑，但是越跑越困难，但是作者仍然没有放弃希望，继续追赶他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，布莱克慢了下来，痛苦地坐在地上。”可知，第一段可描写Blake腿抽筋，我决定帮助他和他一起跑向终点。 ②由第二段首句内容“一位记者拍下了这动人的一幕，并把它传到了网上。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到很多人的赞扬，非常开心自己做了一件正确的事情。 2.续写线索：帮助——陪着一起走——到达终点——受到赞扬——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.加快：hurry up/ hasten ②.跑向：run up to /run to ③.追赶：run after /catch up with 情绪类 ①.感到轻松：feel relaxed/ feel comfortable ②.平静的：calm / peaceful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his leg was cramping. （运用了不定式作结果状语和that引导的宾语从句作find的宾语） [高分句型2] Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together.（运用了由although引导的让步状语从句） 1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．B 7．A 8．B 9．C 10．C 11．C 12．A 13．C 14．A 15．B 16．B 17．A 18．C 19．A 20．B 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2022-2023学年度第二学期期中教学质量检测 高二英语试题 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、座号、考生号、县区和科类填写到答题卡和试卷规定的位置上。 2.第Ⅰ卷每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3.第Ⅱ卷必须用0.5毫米黑色签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应的位置;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案;不能使用涂改液、胶带纸、修正带。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 第一部分 听力(共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What does the man want to do with his money?

Gravity is very weak in space, meaning toilets cannot flush (冲刷) the same way that they do on Earth. In a new contest, NASA is asking inventors from around the world to develop a new space toilet. The space agency is looking for a design that would work both aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as well as on the moon. NASA plans to use this toilet aboard a future lunar lander as part of the Artemis program, which will send humans to the moon by 2024. Anyone can apply to this challenge, and the winning design will receive a $20,000 prize. The second-place design will win $10,000, and the third-place winner will win $5,000. The contest includes a “junior” category in which anyone under the age of 18 can apply with their creative space toilet idea. Winners in the junior category will receive public recognition and NASA souvenirs. Designs should also take up no more than 4.2 cubic feet of space. The toilet itself shouldn’t be louder than 60 decibels, which is about the same volume as a bathroom fan. The space toilet will have to be able to collect both urine (尿液) and fecest (粪便) at the same time. It should be able to hold at least a quarter gallon (1 liter) of liquid waste. It should also be able to hold 17.6 ounces (500 grams) of solid waste. The final requirements are that the system must be able to store or get rid of waste, and it should also be able to be cleaned and maintained in five minutes or less. Hopefully, this toilet will be an improvement on previous systems for waste removal. A waste removal system is a method of disposing of urine and feces. If you are a creative inventor, come and join us! 4. Which aspect of the design is not required in the contest? A. Its covering space. B. Its volume. C. Its time of cleaning. D. Its weight. 5. What can you know about this contest? A. It’s a toilet design contest held by ISS for the American inventors. B. It has a total prize pool of 45,000 to be shared by winning teams. C. For the contestants, there are no limits to your age and nationalities. D. If you are the winner under the age of 18, you will win 5,000. 6. What does the underlined word “disposing” mean? A. Giving away. B. Putting off. C. Getting rid of. D. Picking out. 7. What is the purpose of writing this text? A. To introduce a toilet design contest. B. To attract inventors to take part in the contest. C. To explain the necessity of a toilet in space. D. To show the difficulty of living in space. C After two years of pandemic living, people are collectively ready for a vacation. No matter how much we might like to, though, it’s not always possible to take a vacation from COVID-19. The virus is still circulating widely, including in popular tourist destinations like the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy. That means getting sick while traveling is a real possibility — and one that can turn into an expensive and stressful logistical headache. What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally? To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. (This policy applies to both U.S .citizens and non-citizens, but children younger than 2 are exempt.) Without one of those documents, you cannot board a U.S.-bound flight. If you test positive, you should isolate and delay travel for 10 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad?And who pays for extended accommodations and rescheduled flights?Specifics vary from country to country, but the short answer is that travelers are often on the hook. Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay. A spokesperson for the State Department Jeanna Smialek said travelers who must isolate should contact their hotels and airlines to arrange accommodations and re-book travel, and, if necessary, seek assistance from their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC. 8. What do you need to enter the US if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally? A. A negative COVID-19 test result． B. A certificate of health recovery in the last 90 days． C. Two weeks’ travel delay． D. Extended accommodations and rescheduled flights． 9. What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Should pay the money． B. Be pleasant to stay longer． C. Have no choice but to obey the rule． D. Be not satisfied with the policy． 10. According to Jeanna Smialek, which one is not true? A. Accommodations should be booked by travelers themselves． B. American consulate is accessible to isolated travelers． C. Travelers who must isolate have certain restrictions． D. Travelers should obey both local and American quarantine rules． 11 What’s the passage mainly about? A. How to isolate during the COVID-19． B. What international travelers should do after test positive． C. COVID-19 isolation spreads in popular tour destinations． D. Isolation policies are different among countries． D The vicinity (地区), between southern Angola and northern Namibia, is home to a leafy green plant that can live up to 1,000 years. This “Immortal” plant’s lifespan encourages researchers wondering why, out of all climates the world has to offer, this plant finds itself to thrive in the harsh, dry, and quite unforgiving Namib Desert known to reach less than two inches of rainfall a year. Welwitschia (千岁兰), meaning “two leaves that cannot die,” in Afrikaans, was discovered by biologists Charles Darwin and the botanist Friedrich Welwitsch, whom the plant was named after in 1859. Andrew Leitch, a plant geneticist at Queen Mary University of London, explains, “Generally speaking, this plant can live thousands of years. When it does stop growing, it’s dead. Nature Communications, a study published in July, conducted research to discover and identify the magic within Welwitschia’s genetic makeup. Researchers were able to infer, “Approximately 86 million years ago, after a mistake in cell division, the entire Welwitschia genome (基因组) doubled during a time of increased and prolonged drought in the region.” Additional research concluded that repeated genes lost their defining purposes, allowing some to develop new functions. But because DNA reproduction consumes high levels of energy, repeated genes can at times cause more harm than good, especially in severe weather conditions. This plant also has more magic coming out of its leaves. Unlike most plants, where the leaves grow from the ends of its stem and branches, the Welwitschia’s leaves grow from a “vulnerable” area called the basal meristem (分生组织), which supplies fresh cells to the growing plant. The combination of internal and external factors of the Welwitschia has allowed the plant to continue thriving in extreme temperature conditions. Researchers are hopeful that Welwitschia can also provide insight into the agricultural industry and how we can develop drought tolerant crops. 12. What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Grow well. B. Fade away. C. Rise up. D. Break down. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. The Welwitschia must have a life span of several thousand years or more. B. Copied genes can do more harm than good due to energy consumption. C. Biologist Charles Darwin named the Welwitschia in 1859. D. The Welwitschia’s leaves, like most plants, grow from the basal meristem. 14. What can Welwitschia do according to researchers in Paragraph 4? A. Solve the crisis facing the agricultural industry. B. Give a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry. C. Be planted as drought tolerant crops in the future. D. Not bear extreme temperature conditions. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Copied Genomes of a Long-lived Plant. B. Two Leaves That Cannot Die. C. The “Immortal” Plant Tells Its Tale. D. Agricultural Development with Welwitschia. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2．5分，满分12．5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many Americans suffer from chronic (慢性的) conditions connected to their diets.____16____.

I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run. Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me? I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy. So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone. Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone. Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first. As I moved up the hill my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．B 7．A 8．B 9．C 10．C 11．C 12．A 13．C 14．A 15．B 16．B 17．A 18．C 19．A 20．B 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
