Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana,a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.Peterson sells the paintings for money,splitting the proceeds (and putting half into a"love account"for his splitting model.He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.

"Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent?"When the check was delivered,"They both wept in my arms,"Peterson recalls. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself.But there's more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who's down and out.He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting,finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped.stereotyped "People often tell me,'I was the one that would cross the street,but I see homeless people differently now,""Peterson says."I didn't know that would happen." 24.What made Peterson start a conversation?

Located on the Mediterranean,just two hours south of Barcelona,the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year,making it one of the continent's most important rice-growing areas.As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes(沼v泽)，however,rising salinity(盐度)is hurting rice production.At the same time,this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail,an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants.The most promising strategy has become to play one enemy off against the other. The battle is currently being launched on land,in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. withstand Scientists workingndehejNeicre sking varieties of ri that cn the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes. "The project has two sides,"says Xavier Serrat,Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona,"the short-term fight against the snail,and a mid-to long-term tight against climate change.But the snail has given the project greater'urgency." Originally from South America,the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies,a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums (but failed to prevent their escape.For now,the giant apple snail's presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta.But hoeiotwhether it illre rice-growing areas of Europe,but when." 高三英语半期试题第5页共11页 Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt tolerant rice they've bred. strains In 2018,farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe's other two main rice-growing regions along the Po in Italy,and France's Rhone.A season in the field will help determine which,if any,of the varieties are ready for commercialization. commercialization As an EU-funded effort,the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries.Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt resistant gene.The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that successive incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome () incorporate retain 28.Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage?

D Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed,dating from the dawn of the universe,and found that it is“eating'”its host galaxy(里系)to death. The international team,led by the University of Cambridge,used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)to detect the black hole,which dates from 400 million years after the big bang.The results,which 1 lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are"a giant leap forward",are reported in the journal Nature. That the surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow.The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways:they might be 'born big'or they can eat matter at a rate that's five assumptions 高三英语华期试愿第6页共11四 times higher than had been thought possible.Like all black holes,this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel its growth. According to standard models,supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars,which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun.If it grew in an expected way,this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size.However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected. The young host galaxy,called GN-z11,is a compact galaxy,about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way,but the black hole is likely harming its development.When black holes consume too much gas,it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind.This"wind"could stop the process of star formation,slowly killing the galaxy,but it will also kill the black hole itself,as it would cut off the black hole's source of"food". igantic Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career."It's a new era:the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo's telescope to a modern telescope overight,"he said."The universe has been quite generous in what it's showing us,and this is just the beginning.” 32.What does the underlined word"devours"mean in Paragraph 3? A.Changes 。 B.Swallows.Swallows C.Observes. D.Forms. 33.According to Paragraph 5,why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed? A.Because the host galaxy is too small. B.Because the black hole is killing itself. C.Because the"wind"ceases star formation.D.Because black holes produce too much gas. 34.What is Maiolino's attitude to the new discovery about the black hole? A.Favorable .B.Intolerant.Intolerant C Doubtful. D.Ambiguous. Amibiguous 35.What can we learn from this passage? A.The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size. B.Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight. C.The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward. D.The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the"wind". 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的途项中选出能填入空白处的最佳透项。选项中有两项多余选项。 Maybe you are probably getting an earful(l)from your inner voice.30.Here are several ways to change your self-talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better. Listen critically to your inner critic In high-pressure situations.self-talk is often critical.Instead of thinking deliberately and logically.our inner voices are caused by emotion.That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors.37 And when your inner voices start to fill with words_of 高三英语半期试题第7页共11页 frustration and discouragement,pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it. Create psychological distance from yourself One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance.This can be achieved by using second-or third-person pronouns when referring to the situation.Asking yourself."Why are you feeling so stressed?"is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion.38. Fit your conversation to your goal 39.Instructional self-talk like"shoulders back"or"keep the left arm straight"works to improve technique.Motivational self-talk such as"you've got this"or"keep going"can help with confidence,strength,or endurance.It's important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it aligns with your goals and needs. 40 Demeaning or negative self-talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead.speak compassionately to yourselfjust as you would to a friend.Recreate negative messages to include positive content."I am not good at this."can be changed to"Relax.You are prepared for this.""I don't know what to say."can be replaced by"Remember to smile and ask good questions..” A.Treat yourself as a friend. B.Make as many friends as possible C.Using instructional language is appropriate. D.Different types of self-talk work best for specific goals. E.So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself. F.Often negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed. G.This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat. 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） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 Recently Mom Elisa received a call from school about her 14-year-old son's behavior in the lunchroom.The boy toasted Pop-tarts for anyone who wanted them,and gave them out for free.Elisa 高三英语半期试题第8页共11页 explained that the family kitchen was being built,41 she had purchased a bunch of purchased convenience foods that could be42 in the microwave or toaster,including Pop-Tarts."I guess microwave he saw how many we had and 43 we had plenty to share!"she said.
