From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal (饰演) of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. Yet, the irony lies in how many of his career-defining roles fell into this “late bloomer’s” lap by chance. Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. Lucas was impressed by Ford’s presence and offered him the iconic role. In time, Ford rose to a star. Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg initially wanted Ford for the role, but Lucas was hesitant as he had already worked with Ford on Star War and 1973’s American Graffiti. Then the production team tried many other possibilities but without luck. Eventually, the role went to Ford, strengthening his status as a Hollywood legend. The film series became a worldwide sensation, stimulating people’s imagination and inspiring a generation of future archaeologists. Over 40 years and four films later, Ford found himself completing the series with the fifth and final installment. Eighty-one-year-old Harrison received a five-minute standing ovation (鼓掌) at the Cannes Film Festival Premiere and picked up an honorary Palmed’ Or for his achievements. Ford’s commitment to his career is evident as he said, “I love the work! My luck has been to work with incredibly talented people, to find my way into this crowd of geniuses.” Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. 4. What does the underlined word “prolific” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Productive. B. Fruitless. C. Hard-earned. D. Promising. 5. What made Harrison discouraged in his early film career? A. His lack of talent. B. The uncertain prospect. C. The dull industry. D. His family opposition. 6. What is the factor highlighted in the passage in Ford’s landing the important roles? A. His good fortune. B. His convincing acting. C. His fine reputation. D. His big circle of friends. 7. Which of the following best describes Harrison? A. A rising film genius. B. A humble carpenter. C. A Hollywood legend. D. A fearless challenger. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了好莱坞著名演员哈里森·福特的个人事迹和演艺经历。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse (在好莱坞，很少有演员经历过如此多样化的职业生涯)”以及“From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. (从无畏的印第安纳·琼斯到迷人的汉·索罗，再到厌世的瑞克·迪卡德，福特塑造的标志性人物在电影和流行文化中留下了永久的印记。)”画线词前说明的是多样化的职业生涯以及画线词后的各种角色，所以此处指的是“多产的”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. (哈里森出生在芝加哥，早年就被劝阻不要在银幕上发展事业，因为他没能得到任何重要的角色。相反，他转而从事专业木工工作，以此来养家糊口。)”可知，由于未能出演任何重要角色，职业前景的不确定性让哈里森在早期的工作中气馁。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. (但命运另有安排。在好莱坞当木匠时，福特结识了许多名人客户，比如琼·迪迪安，最著名的是导演乔治·卢卡斯，后者雇他为自己的办公室建造橱柜。福特一点也不知道，这次偶然的相遇会让他在《星球大战》中饰演迷人的汉·索罗。)”以及第四段中“Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark. (福特的下一个幸运时刻是在卢卡斯和史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格联合制作的《夺宝奇兵》中出演印第安纳·琼斯一角。)”可知，福特的好运是他获得重要角色的突出因素。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse and prolific as Harrison Ford. (在好莱坞，很少有演员像哈里森·福特那样经历了如此多样化和多产的职业生涯。)”以及最后一段“Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. (尽管福特在好莱坞有着传奇的地位，但他的谦逊依然闪耀着光芒。)”可知，哈里森是好莱坞的传奇人物。故选C。 C Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US $2 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 8. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are money-makers for good. B. Their intelligence is unquestionable. C. They are a natural climate solution. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 9. Why is a whale compared with a tree in paragraph 2? A. To indicate all matter regarding green efforts. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential. D. To emphasize the importance of tree planting. 10. What can be inferred from what researchers said in paragraph 4? A. Climate change intensifies. B. Whale populations stay low. C. Our survival is endangered. D. Whale protection is a priority. 11. What is the most suitable title for the article? A. Protect whales to protect the planet B. How to restore whale populations C. Live in harmony with ocean giants D. Whales can guarantee our survival 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文，主要介绍了关于鲸鱼的一项新研究发现及其对碳捕获的经济价值，同时也讨论了鲸鱼保护的紧迫性和现状。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation.(根据国际货币基金组织发表的一项新研究，生物学家发现它们还从大气中捕获了数吨的碳，这一服务对所有大型鲸鱼来说都具有1万亿美元的经济价值。该研究指出，保护鲸鱼通常被视为人类的一件好事，但也有金钱动机)”可知，新的研究发现，鲸鱼能从大气中捕获碳，它们是一种自然的气候解决方案。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale.(根据这项研究，每头鲸鱼平均能捕获33吨二氧化碳。在同一时期，一棵树只贡献了鲸鱼碳吸收的3%)”可知，第二段中把鲸鱼和树比较是为了强调鲸鱼的碳捕获潜力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said.(随着《巴黎协定》明年生效，气候变化的影响越来越广泛，我们必须防止对鲸鱼的伤害。研究人员分析说，除非提出新的方法，否则将需要30多年的时间才能使目前的鲸鱼数量增加一倍，并需要几代人的时间才能使它们恢复到捕鲸前的数量。他们说：“社会和我们自己的生存等不起这么久。”)”可知，研究人员表示，需要使用新的方法使鲸鱼的数量尽快恢复，否则回威胁我们自身的生存，因此保护鲸鱼是当务之急。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据根据第一段“Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. (根据国际货币基金组织发表的一项新研究，生物学家发现它们还从大气中捕获了数吨的碳，这一服务对所有大型鲸鱼来说都具有1万亿美元的经济价值)”和最后一段“With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales.(随着《巴黎协定》明年生效，气候变化的影响越来越广泛，我们必须防止对鲸鱼的伤害)”结合文章主要介绍了关于鲸鱼的一项新研究发现及其对碳捕获的经济价值，同时也讨论了鲸鱼保护的紧迫性和现状可知，A选项“保护鲸鱼就是保护地球”符合文章标题。故选A。 D Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. “We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. “It is also currently unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep-related outcomes, and no conclusions could be drawn about any potential effects on retinal (视网膜的) health in the longer term. People should be aware of these findings when deciding whether to purchase these spectacles.” The studies they reviewed ranged in size and length, with a span of as few as five to as many as 156 participants assessed over different periods, from less than one day to five weeks. The authors said more research with longer follow-ups in more diverse populations are needed to better assess any potential effects. Blue light, like that emanating from (从……发出) computer screens and smartphones, does stimulate the eyes, something that can cause sleeping problems. Vision issues including eye strain can lead to headaches, frontal headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as dry eyes and related problems. Earlier this year, Dr Robert Johnson said, “I would have patients coming in saying they just ordered blue-blocking glasses from the Internet for their daughter and what was my opinion. This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising.” Instead of shelling out money for special shades, however, experts advise taking screen breaks. They recommend small breaks away from screens every 20 minutes. During that break, look into the distance at an object at least 20 feet away or farther, for 20 seconds or more. Also shut your eyes for 20 seconds during the break. Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” 12. What can we infer from Laura Downie’s words about the blue light glasses? A. It reduces visual fatigue greatly. B. It helps us get a good sleep at night. C. It has no effect on our eye health. D. It relaxes our eyes for the time being. 13. What’s Dr Robert Johnson’s attitude toward using blue-light filtering spectacle leans? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral. 14. What is the core of the “20-20-20 rule”? A. Resting your eyes every 20 seconds. B. Keeping your eyes closed for a minute. C. Watching scenes at most 60 seconds. D. Making your eyes rest for a while. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Blue light comes from a variety of sources. B. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful. C. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses are popular. D. Blue light is really good for your eyesight. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了蓝光眼镜对眼健康的潜在影响及专家观点，建议采取有效的眼部休息措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段““We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. (Laura Downie说：“我们发现，与非蓝光过滤镜片相比，使用蓝光过滤镜片在减少因使用电脑而引起的视觉疲劳方面可能没有短期优势。”)”可知，Laura Downie认为蓝光过滤眼镜在短期内对减少电脑使用引起的视觉疲劳没有明显的好处，即它对我们的眼睛健康没有影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising. (这个防蓝光的情况基本上从一开始就是假的……这是广告中的一个荒谬之处。)”可知，Dr Robert Johnson对蓝光过滤镜片的态度是不赞同的，认为这种做法从一开始就存在误导。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段中“Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” (Johnson也遵循“20-20-20规则”。他说：“每20分钟，看超过20英尺的地方20秒，”“这将放松你的聚焦机制，给眼睛一个休息的机会，这会让你感觉更舒适。”)”可知，该规则的核心是为了让眼睛休息一会儿。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. (在过去的几年里，蓝光眼镜越来越受欢迎，人们认为蓝光眼镜可以保护我们的眼睛不受屏幕的影响，但一项新的分析显示了不同的结果。)”可知，文主要讨论了蓝光过滤眼镜可能并不像之前认为的那样对保护视力有显著好处，尤其是基于最新的分析结果。选项B“Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful (蓝光过滤眼镜镜片可能没有用)”最适合作为本文的标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s important to set a career goal so you can determine the steps that can help you get there.

Do you want a type of job that keeps you in the public eye, making a difference in the community, or do you prefer something that’s more behind the scenes?(你坚信团队合作，还是更倾向于独自奋斗？你希望从事一种能让你在公众视野中脱颖而出、在社区中有所作为的工作，还是更喜欢幕后工作？)”可知，下文都是在询问在工作中最看重的是什么，比如团队合作、个人成就、公众关注度等。因此，此空需要填入的句子应该与此相关。选项C“What matters to you most in a job?(在工作中，你最看重的是什么？)”引出下文内容。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文内容“Once you better understand your interests and values, it’s time to look at your options and identify a career that will make these goals a reality.(一旦你更好地了解自己的兴趣和价值观，是时候看看你的选择，并确定一个能让这些目标成为现实的职业了。)”可知，我们要确定自己的兴趣，并确定一个与此相关的职业目标。选项G“For example, your dream job is to be a marine biologist.(例如，你梦想的工作是成为一名海洋生物学家。)”延续上文内容，指出如果我们梦想的工作是海洋生物学家，从而自然引出下文“For you, success might mean working in zoological facility in Miami where you can train dolphins.(对你来说，成功可能意味着在迈阿密的一家动物设施工作，在那里你可以训练海豚。)”。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“Find detailed occupation descriptions, including salary, demand, and associated skills(找到详细的职业描述，包括薪水、需求和相关的技能。)”，可知，在确定了职业目标后，需要查找关于这个职业的详细信息。而空后内容“Speak to professionals, watch videos, or take classes in the related subject(与专业人士交谈、观看视频或参加相关课程。)”则是在建议如何获取这些详细信息。因此，此空需要填入的句子应该与“获取职业相关信息”相关。选项F“Do a deeper exploration of possible jobs.(对可能的工作进行更深入的探索)”与上下文内容相符，指的都是研究自己想从事的研究。故选F。 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节,满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Have you ever felt the need to grab a pen and start writing your thoughts on paper?

Ginny and I talked to my mom. We spoke to my uncles and aunts. I hadn’t seen any of them in seven years and Ginny hadn’t met them yet, but she hoped to one day. Those calls were completed, but I couldn’t relax. I still had one more call to make, and I was afraid. I paced up and down inside the room. I wasted time at my computer. I needed to call but I couldn’t. Five years ago, I received an e-mail from my brother. At that time, I had been out of work for several months. My life was very stressful. My brother’s e-mail was nothing terrible but it made me angry. I wrote back. As I typed, my anger grew. Months of frustration (沮丧) flowed into my unkind response. I said things that were not nice, but I sent the e-mail without hesitation. More thoughts occurred to me. I wrote a second e-mail. I screamed abuse at my brother in the emails. I didn’t care if I ever heard from him again. The next day I received another e-mail from him. I didn’t read it. I just deleted it, and then I blocked his e-mail address. For five years, he tried to get through to me but I ignored him. I had lived with this terrible guilt. I thought about contacting him, but was ashamed of myself for what I’d said. It was time to fix it. I picked up the phone and stepped outside. I wanted privacy. Ginny didn’t know I was calling my brother. I took a deep breath, blew out a cloud of my breath into the cold December air, and dialed (拨号) his number. Even after five years, I still knew it by heart. A phone rang 3,700 miles away in Nova Scotia. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 There was no answer, so I left a voice message. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then a week after I called, I received an e-mail. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There was no answer, so I left a voice message. “Bob, it’s Mike. I’m sorry. I said some things I regret. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope all is well with you.” I left my number. I walked back into the house and looked at Ginny. “I did it.” She looked puzzled. “You did what?” “I called Bob.” “Oh, honey! You did it right. We are family and it’s been too long. Christmas came and went. I waited for the call that never came. I prayed for his forgiveness. The phone didn’t ring. Then a week after I called, I received an e-mail. My brother left me a message in my mailbox. He said he listened to my voice message over and over and knew I was sincere. In the weeks to follow, we e-mailed back and forth. I felt so guilty about my stupid mistake. Why was I too proud to say sorry? Now it was time to put an end to all. Since then, we have grown close again. Even though I haven’t been able to afford the trip home, we are still family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了由于距离较远，作者已经七年没有回家了，圣诞节前夕，作者给在加拿大的家人电话问候，女儿金妮和作者几乎和家里的所有人都通过电话了，但是作者仍然无法平静，因为还有一个亲人没有联系，那就是作者的哥哥。五年前，由于作者失业好几个月，生活压力很大。作者和哥哥的邮件很不友善，产生隔阂，这让作者很害怕和哥哥联系。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“没人接，所以我留了语音信息。”可知，第一段可描写作者语音信息的内容，以及作者对于和哥哥联系的期待。 ②由第二段首句内容“打电话一周后，我收到了一封电子邮件。”可知，第二段可描写哥哥的回应，以及作者内心的感悟。 2.续写线索：打电话——留语音信息——期待回复——取得联系——消除隔阂——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①返回：walk back / go back ②后悔：regret / repent ③看起来：look /appear 情绪类 ①迷惑的：puzzled /confused ②内疚的：guilty / compunctious 【点睛】[高分句型1] I said some things I regret.（省略关系词that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] He said he listened to my voice message over and over and knew I was sincere.（省略that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 拉萨中学高三（2022 级）第二次教学质量监测 英语试卷 （考试时间: 120分钟 试卷满分: 150分） 注意事项: 1. 答第I卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 选出每小题答案后, 用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。不能答在本试卷上, 否则无效。 第一部分听力（共两节, 每小题1.5分, 满分30分） 第一节（共 5 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中给出的 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.

B In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse and prolific as Harrison Ford. From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal (饰演) of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. Yet, the irony lies in how many of his career-defining roles fell into this “late bloomer’s” lap by chance. Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. Lucas was impressed by Ford’s presence and offered him the iconic role. In time, Ford rose to a star. Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg initially wanted Ford for the role, but Lucas was hesitant as he had already worked with Ford on Star War and 1973’s American Graffiti. Then the production team tried many other possibilities but without luck. Eventually, the role went to Ford, strengthening his status as a Hollywood legend. The film series became a worldwide sensation, stimulating people’s imagination and inspiring a generation of future archaeologists. Over 40 years and four films later, Ford found himself completing the series with the fifth and final installment. Eighty-one-year-old Harrison received a five-minute standing ovation (鼓掌) at the Cannes Film Festival Premiere and picked up an honorary Palmed’ Or for his achievements. Ford’s commitment to his career is evident as he said, “I love the work! My luck has been to work with incredibly talented people, to find my way into this crowd of geniuses.” Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. 4.

Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US $2 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 8. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are money-makers for good. B. Their intelligence is unquestionable. C. They are a natural climate solution. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 9. Why is a whale compared with a tree in paragraph 2? A To indicate all matter regarding green efforts. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential. D. To emphasize the importance of tree planting. 10. What can be inferred from what researchers said in paragraph 4? A. Climate change intensifies. B. Whale populations stay low. C. Our survival is endangered. D. Whale protection is a priority. 11. What is the most suitable title for the article? A. Protect whales to protect the planet B. How to restore whale populations C. Live in harmony with ocean giants D. Whales can guarantee our survival D Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. “We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. “It is also currently unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep-related outcomes, and no conclusions could be drawn about any potential effects on retinal (视网膜的) health in the longer term. People should be aware of these findings when deciding whether to purchase these spectacles.” The studies they reviewed ranged in size and length, with a span of as few as five to as many as 156 participants assessed over different periods, from less than one day to five weeks. The authors said more research with longer follow-ups in more diverse populations are needed to better assess any potential effects. Blue light, like that emanating from (从……发出) computer screens and smartphones, does stimulate the eyes, something that can cause sleeping problems. Vision issues including eye strain can lead to headaches, frontal headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as dry eyes and related problems. Earlier this year, Dr Robert Johnson said, “I would have patients coming in saying they just ordered blue-blocking glasses from the Internet for their daughter and what was my opinion. This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising.” Instead of shelling out money for special shades, however, experts advise taking screen breaks. They recommend small breaks away from screens every 20 minutes. During that break, look into the distance at an object at least 20 feet away or farther, for 20 seconds or more. Also shut your eyes for 20 seconds during the break. Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” 12. What can we infer from Laura Downie’s words about the blue light glasses? A. It reduces visual fatigue greatly. B. It helps us get a good sleep at night. C. It has no effect on our eye health. D. It relaxes our eyes for the time being. 13. What’s Dr Robert Johnson’s attitude toward using blue-light filtering spectacle leans? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral. 14. What is the core of the “20-20-20 rule”? A. Resting your eyes every 20 seconds. B. Keeping your eyes closed for a minute. C. Watching scenes at most 60 seconds. D. Making your eyes rest for a while. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A Blue light comes from a variety of sources. B. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful. C. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses are popular. D. Blue light is really good for your eyesight. 第二节（共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s important to set a career goal so you can determine the steps that can help you get there.

Ginny and I talked to my mom. We spoke to my uncles and aunts. I hadn’t seen any of them in seven years and Ginny hadn’t met them yet, but she hoped to one day. Those calls were completed, but I couldn’t relax. I still had one more call to make, and I was afraid. I paced up and down inside the room. I wasted time at my computer. I needed to call but I couldn’t. Five years ago, I received an e-mail from my brother. At that time, I had been out of work for several months. My life was very stressful. My brother’s e-mail was nothing terrible but it made me angry. I wrote back. As I typed, my anger grew. Months of frustration (沮丧) flowed into my unkind response. I said things that were not nice, but I sent the e-mail without hesitation. More thoughts occurred to me. I wrote a second e-mail. I screamed abuse at my brother in the emails. I didn’t care if I ever heard from him again. The next day I received another e-mail from him. I didn’t read it. I just deleted it, and then I blocked his e-mail address. For five years, he tried to get through to me but I ignored him. I had lived with this terrible guilt. I thought about contacting him, but was ashamed of myself for what I’d said. It was time to fix it. I picked up the phone and stepped outside. I wanted privacy. Ginny didn’t know I was calling my brother. I took a deep breath, blew out a cloud of my breath into the cold December air, and dialed (拨号) his number. Even after five years, I still knew it by heart. A phone rang 3,700 miles away in Nova Scotia. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 There was no answer, so I left a voice message. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then a week after I called, I received an e-mail. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
