I slipped on a rock and cut my foot (Text 3) W: Jim, it's me. I'm at the station now. I missed my train, so I'm going to be late. M: It's OK. Will you get back in time to pick up the kids?

M: That sounds cool! And then what did you do? W: We spoke about the idea with our teacher and she agreed. The problem was to find an appropriate time to do it, so we discussed it with our teacher at first. Because we had a busy study schedule, we couldn't have the club during our lessons.

W: Yes, It has opened an aecount for us to buy films online, Each month before we end a meeting, we ask for suggestions about the next film.

Welcome to Green Runners! Today, in our program, I'll talk about running marathons. Many people would struggle to run just one marathon. They would need months of training to get into shape to finish running, However, marathons are no problem for Australian runner Erchana Murray-Bartlett. She has run 150 marathons in 15o days. At age 32, she ran from Queensland, at the top of Australia, to Melbourne, at the bottom. She broke the previous record of 1o6 marathons in 1o6 days. Many species of animals and plants are dying out in Australia. Erchana decided to run the marathons to raise awareness of the risk of extinction. Her run has raised about $ 1oo, ooo for the Wilderness Society. She said it was a tough time, but she knew she could do it. She said, "Even though sometimes I was covered in sweat and flies, and everything ached, I thought,'No, I can go one more kilometer.' If you keep achieving tiny goals, you can make it."I think her determination is worth all our respect. 参考答案 1~5 BABCA 6~10 CBBAC 11~15 ACBCC 16~20 ABAAC 21.

She was 10 when her family fled Cali, Colombia, because of death threats to her father, who had been forced into hiding. They settled in Miami. Despite the challenges she faced as a migrant child, she was lucky to have teachers who advocated for her and guided her along the way. Rebellon moved from Miami to Los Angeles when she was 21 to pursue an acting career. In 2o18, she was so moved after volunteering in migrant camps in Tijuana that she put her career on hold. "There were no schools set up to help these kids. They were walking around the camps barefoot,"she said. Rebellon and her partner Kyle Schmidt used about $ 1,ooo of their savings to buy tents and supplies and set up a makeshift(临时的) school at the border. They enlisted volunteer teachers to provide learning opportunities in the camps. In the months that followed, when those families living in the camps were moved to shelters, Rebellon and Schmidt wanted to continue offering educational services. "I thought,'Why don't we turn a bus into a mobile classroom, and we could take it to all the different shelters?'"Rebellon said. Over the next year, Rebellon and Schmidt bought and transformed a bus, partnered with shelters, and drove the bus over the border. In 2019, she co-founded the Yes We Can World Foundation, a nonprofit organization that believes every child has the right to education and safe spaces regardless of their location. current legal status or economic background.

C Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh, therefore minimizing food waste-especially if consumers can better understand those packaging technologies. That's among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University(MSU)'s School of Packaging, detailed in a recently released white paper. In the United States, food waste in landfills doubled from 199o to 2o2o, according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year. Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year, with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level. Ameripen, the only organization exclusively focused on US public policy for the entire packaging industry, and the Environmental Research &. Education Foundation funded research that included a survey of more than 1,ooo people in the United States. Ameripen said it wanted to know what role packaging could play in reducing household food waste as well as understand consumer awareness of food packaging's value and functions. The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging , forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste, among other areas. The study found that whole fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas and lettuce, are the foods most wasted by households, with dairy products, prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits(罪魁祸首). "Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households, indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life, reuse and size," the white paper states. Researchers reported that while consumers'current understanding of packaging technologies was"limited", they indicated "they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life." "There's a need to design packaging for produce that is currently not packaged; that most of the produce in this study was wasted is because there is no packaging at all,"MSU's Korey Fennel said during the webinar(网络研讨会), also noting the importance of "intelligent packaging" that could indicate the shelf life of food products. 28. What does the underlined word"minimizing" in the first paragraph mean? A. Showing. C. Recovering. B. Continuing. D. Reducing. 第4页(共8页)】 【高二上学期期末考试·英语 242445D 29. What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph? A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Provide some advice for the readers C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion 30. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By making observations. B. By asking questions. C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to former studies. 31. What is the consumers' attitude to purchasing packaged food according to the study? B.Unclear. C.Critical. A. Cautious. D. Favorable. D Not unlike the wings of airplanes,the blades(叶片) of wind turbines(涡轮机) need to be kept ice-free in order to function properly. Scientists have now developed an inexpensive method of using drones(无人机) to apply an eco-friendly anti-icing coating to those blades. If too much ice builds up on wind turbine blades, they will turn more slowly, producing less energy. What's more, if an equal amount of ice isn't present on all three blades, the turbine's balance may be thrown off, leading to increased wear and possibly even disastrous failure. There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built into the blades, but these may be beyond the financial means of many wind farm operators. The same can be said for using helicopters to apply ice-prevention chemicals. Seeking a more economical but still effective alternative, scientists from two branches of Germany's Fraunhofer research group recently started looking to drones. The research project is known as "TURBO: Temporary coating by means of drones-Icing protection of wind turbines as a case study”. In the current version of the resulting system, a hexacopter drone is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is sprayed(喷酒) at high pressure- which is just o. 3 mm wide-producing tiny droplets with a diameter of 1oo micrometers. Using this setup, the drone has successfully been used to apply coatings of the droplets onto the edges of wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds of up to 35 km/h(22 mph). Once solidified, those coatings prevent ice formation for several weeks before a fresh coating is applied. The scientists are now seeking industry partners to help commercialize the TURBO technology. It could also find use in the maintenance of power lines, the upper levels of tall buildings, or other things that are difficult to reach by conventional means. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Problems caused by icing. B. The process of ice formation. C. Disasters brought about by drones. D. The function of wind turbines 33. Which word can best describe anti-icing heating systems? A. Ineffective. B.Unnecessary. C. Expensive. D.Dangerous. 34. What can we learn about the TURBO technology from the last paragraph? A. It has a wider range of applications. B. It is a relatively traditional approach. C. It can solve the problem once and for all. D. It is more costly than using ice-prevention chemicals. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Advantages of Using Wind Energy B. Drones Protect Wind Turbines From Icing C. Wind Turbines Remove Ice on Their Own D. A Major Breakthrough in Drone Technology 第5页(共8页)) 【高二上学期期末考试·英语 242445D 第二节(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。 The holidays can be a difficult time to stay on track with your fitness goals. 36 .
