However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them. Venice Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica. Wandering along Venice’s canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West. Milan Milan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries and restaurants 1t also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade (大理石外墙), is magnificent. Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan’s top attractions. Naples Naples is one of Italy’s most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts! Bologna Bologna is known for its beauty, wealth and food. Its flat streets are lined with arcades (拱廊), making it a good walking city in every kind of weather. Bologna is the biggest city in northern Italy’s Emilia Romagna region and its Piazza Maggiore is one of the biggest squares in Europe. Even among Italians, it’s considered the cooking capital of the country. 21. How does Venice differ from other cities in Italy according to the article? A. Its streets are lined with arcades. B. It’s a city built over the water. C. It is a starting point for trips to Pompeii. D. It has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. 22. Where can tourists appreciate The Last Supper? A. In La Scala. B. In Gothic Duomo. C. In Saint Mark’s Basilica. D. In Santa Maria Delle Grazie. 23. What do Naples and Bologna have in common? A. They are famous for food. B. They are the capitals of fashion. C. They are located in northern Italy. D. They have famous opera houses. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了意大利的四个城市以及各自的特色。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities.(威尼斯是一座独特的水上城市，是意大利最美丽、最浪漫的城市之一)”可知，威尼斯与意大利其他城市的不同在于是一座建在水上的城市。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan’s top attractions.(达・芬奇的画作《最后的晚餐》是米兰最吸引人的景点之一，收藏在Santa Maria Delle Grazie美术馆)”可知，在Santa Maria Delle Grazie可以欣赏到《最后的晚餐》故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts!(它拥有许多历史和艺术珍品，并以披萨和甜点而闻名！)”以及最后一段“Bologna is known for its beauty, wealth and food.(博洛尼亚以其美丽、财富和美食而闻名)”可知，那不勒斯和博洛尼亚的共同之处是都以食物闻名。故选A。 B When asked what his father did for a living, my son explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it's O.K. because he gets paid to do it.” He wasn't wrong. I'm a hacker, and I run a team of hackers. We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet, to access information never meant to be seen. If we get to it before a criminal does, then we've done our job. I'm proud of what I do for a living, just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do. In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards. Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with computers. Companies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do. Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour - that's illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients' money, but if they do so without permission, that's illegal. Hacking isn't an inherently(本质上)criminal activity. Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actor”. Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM - security professionals. Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us. 24. Why did the author mention his son's words in paragraph 1? A. To show off his son's intelligence. B. To describe the daily life in kindergarten. C. To raise readers' interest in his job. D. To raise a problem of parent-child relation. 25. What is the common misunderstanding of hackers? A. Hackers can both be males and females. B. Hackers can ensure a company's security. C. Hackers are usually considered as criminals. D. Hackers are extremely proud of what they do. 26. What do we know about hacking? A. Hacking is an inherently criminal activity. B. Permission plays an important role in hacking. C. Professional skills are not necessary for hacking. D. Hacking involves breaking into shops and houses. 27. What's the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the job of hackers. B. To attract more hackers to IBM. C. To stress the importance of hackers. D. To compare hacking with other jobs. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者的工作是黑客，但是黑客这个工作的具体内容，并不是像人们普遍误解的那样是一种违法行为，而是一种得到许可的合法行为。 【详解】1.推理判断题。由第一段“When asked what his father did for a living, my son explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it's O.K. because he gets paid to do it.””(当我儿子被问到他父亲是做什么工作的时候，他向他的幼儿园老师解释说“他偷东西，但是没关系，因为他是靠偷东西挣钱的”。)和第二段“He wasn't wrong.”(他没错。)可知，作者提到当儿子被问到父亲是做什么工作时，儿子说作者是偷东西的，作者这样写是为了激起读者对作者工作的兴趣，故选C。 2.推理判断题。由第四段“In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards.”(在好莱坞，黑客通常被描述为在黑暗的房间里，身穿连帽衫，进行非法活动，同时窃听电脑键盘的人。）可推断出，对于黑客普遍的误解是黑客经常被认为是罪犯，故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据第五段“Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission.”(黑客行为是一种活动，任何一种活动与犯罪的区别在于是否得到许可。)可知，得到允许对于黑客这个工作来说是非常重要的。选项B“Permission plays an important role in hacking.”(得到许可在黑客行为中起着重要作用。)符合，故选B。 4.目的意图题。分析文章可知，文章开头作者介绍了作者的工作是黑客，接着介绍了具体解释了黑客这个工作的具体内容，并不是像人们普遍误解的那样是一种违法行为，而是一种得到许可的合法行为。根据最后一段“Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us.”(黑客在保护公司和个人安全方面扮演着重要角色。在IBM公司，我的团队做的一件事就是黑进自动驾驶汽车，飞机和火车，以确保在每台机器上市前，发现并纠正所有可能的安全漏洞。想象一下没有我们会发生什么糟糕的事情。)可推断出，文章的主要目的是介绍黑客这种工作，故选A。 C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 28. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting?”（当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？）可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”（正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。）和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”（似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”（几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.”（随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。）可知，接下来，文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。 【点睛】 D 136 types of seeds, including crops, forest vegetation, flowers, and microorganisms will be carried on board the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft to start their space breeding journey. These seeds will contribute to the advancement of China’s agricultural science and technology and enhance food security, the China Manned Space Engineering Office announced on Wednesday in a statement. The seeds were selected through a four-month application and review process and have been chosen from 53 institutions across the country. The project, conducted by manned spaceflight, is of a public welfare nature and does not charge any carrying fees. It has been 36 years since China’s first space seed breeding effort in 1987, the country has sent the seeds of hundreds of plant species into space on dozens of retrievable satellites (返回式卫星) and Shenzhou spaceships. Nearly 1,000 new species have been created, of which 200 have displayed outstanding performances, according to media reports. Space seed breeding uses cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) to mutate the genes of seeds sent into space, in order to create new species for greater variety. “Space peppers and watermelons” commonly found in supermarkets in China are successful varieties of space breeding. China ranks first in the world in the number of cultivated varieties and the range of popularization and application of space breeding. The area under cultivation for grains, vegetables, fruits and other plants developed by space seed breeding has surpassed 4 million hectares, and generated economic benefits of over 200 billion yuan ($30.51 billion), media earlier reported. The seeds need further improvement, especially in disease resistance, through conventional breeding methods and space breeding, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Space breeding involves exposing seeds and strains to cosmic radiation and microgravity during a spaceflight mission to mutate their genes. China’s space seed breeding level also reflects the nation’s advancing aerospace technology, Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times. And he added, “There are only a few countries in the world with mature aerospace technology, and China’s level of space seed breeding technology is world-class.” 32. What does the underlined word “mutate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Change. B. Destroy. C. Infect. D. Enhance. 33. What do Chinese authorities need to do to further improve the seeds? A. Increase the number of seeds sent into space. B. Cultivate new species through genetic mutation. C. Combine space breeding with traditional breeding methods. D. Use more advanced aerospace technology to breed seeds in space. 34. What achievement is an example of China’s space seed breeding project? A. The seeds are now capable of resisting diseases. B. It has successfully cultivated over 1,000 new species. C. The project has mutated thousands of plant genes in space. D. China’s space seed breeding technology is the world’s best. 35. What is the best title for this article? A. Space Breeding: China’s Leading Role in Agricultural Science B. Space Breeding: A breakthrough in China’s genetic technology C. Space Breeding: Benefits and Risks for China’s Future Agriculture D. Space Breeding: A contribution to China’s agricultural technology and food security 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太空育种项目，解释了太空育种的过程和太空育种项目目前所取得的成就。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Space seed breeding uses cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射)”以及后文“in order to create new species for greater variety(从而创造出更多品种的新物种)”可知，太空种子育种主要是利用宇宙辐射来改变送入太空的种子的基因，从而创造出更多品种的新物种。故划线词意思是“改变”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The seeds need further improvement, especially in disease resistance, through conventional breeding methods and space breeding, the Xinhua News Agency reported.(据新华社报道，这些种子需要通过传统育种方法和太空育种进一步改进，特别是在抗病性方面)”可知，中国当局需要将空间育种与传统育种方法相结合来进一步改善种子。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nearly 1,000 new species have been created, of which 200 have displayed outstanding performances, according to media reports.(据媒体报道，已经创造了近1000个新物种，其中200个表现出色)”可知，中国的太空育种项目已经成功培育了1000多个新物种。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“136 types of seeds, including crops, forest vegetation, flowers, and microorganisms will be carried on board the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft to start their space breeding journey. These seeds will contribute to the advancement of China’s agricultural science and technology and enhance food security, the China Manned Space Engineering Office announced on Wednesday in a statement.(神舟16号载人飞船将携带136种种子，包括农作物、森林植被、花卉和微生物，开始他们的太空繁殖之旅。中国载人航天工程办公室周三在一份声明中宣布，这些种子将有助于中国农业科技的进步，并加强粮食安全)”结合文章主要介绍了太空育种项目，解释了太空育种的过程和太空育种项目目前所取得的成就。可知，D选项“太空育种：对中国农业技术和粮食安全的贡献”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Here come some of the ways advised to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard. ♦ Be grateful and say thanks often ___36___.

They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA. After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions. Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me?” Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance. This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points. 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。 “You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. The coach was very sad and told Chris that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but he said Paul couldn’t play. Meanwhile, another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Then, Paul asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn’t let him down. The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. The other team couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, his team had won by two points. The coach was surprised at Paul’s performance. He smiled at Paul and said he’d earned his place on the team. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了克里斯和保罗这对好朋友都是篮球队队员，但是由于保罗不够高，他只能作为替补队员，在一次比赛中克里斯受伤无法继续比赛，在队友们的推荐下保罗上场展现了自己的实力，最终帮助球队赢得比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““你不能再比赛了，”医生说，并把冰袋放在克里斯的膝盖上。”可知，第一段可描写克里斯不能比赛，大家推荐保罗上场。 ②由第二段首句内容“教练表示同意，“保罗，是让你发光的时候了。””可知，第二段可描写保罗在赛场上发挥出色，帮助球队反败为胜。 2.续写线索：建议保罗打比赛——教练不同意——教练最终同意——保罗上场——球队反败为胜——保罗获得认可 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：recommend/suggest ②同意：agree/approve ③鼓掌：clap/applaude 情绪类 ①悲伤的：sad/unhappy ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1]The coach was very sad and told Chris that there were no more players. （由从属连词that引导的宾语从句作told的宾语） [高分句型2]And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. （由关系代词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年高二上学期半期考试 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where is the conversation probably taking place?

However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them. Venice Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica. Wandering along Venice’s canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West. Milan Milan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries and restaurants 1t also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade (大理石外墙), is magnificent. Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan’s top attractions. Naples Naples is one of Italy’s most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts! Bologna Bologna is known for its beauty, wealth and food. Its flat streets are lined with arcades (拱廊), making it a good walking city in every kind of weather. Bologna is the biggest city in northern Italy’s Emilia Romagna region and its Piazza Maggiore is one of the biggest squares in Europe. Even among Italians, it’s considered the cooking capital of the country. 21. How does Venice differ from other cities in Italy according to the article? A. Its streets are lined with arcades. B. It’s a city built over the water. C. It is a starting point for trips to Pompeii. D. It has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. 22. Where can tourists appreciate The Last Supper? A. In La Scala. B. In Gothic Duomo. C. In Saint Mark’s Basilica. D. In Santa Maria Delle Grazie. 23. What do Naples and Bologna have in common? A. They are famous for food. B. They are the capitals of fashion. C. They are located in northern Italy. D. They have famous opera houses. B When asked what his father did for a living, my son explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it's O.K. because he gets paid to do it.” He wasn't wrong. I'm a hacker, and I run a team of hackers. We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet, to access information never meant to be seen. If we get to it before a criminal does, then we've done our job. I'm proud of what I do for a living, just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do. In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards. Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with computers. Companies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do. Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour - that's illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients' money, but if they do so without permission, that's illegal. Hacking isn't an inherently(本质上)criminal activity. Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actor”. Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM - security professionals. Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us. 24. Why did the author mention his son's words in paragraph 1? A. To show off his son's intelligence. B. To describe the daily life in kindergarten. C. To raise readers' interest in his job. D. To raise a problem of parent-child relation. 25. What is the common misunderstanding of hackers? A. Hackers can both be males and females. B. Hackers can ensure a company's security. C. Hackers are usually considered as criminals. D. Hackers are extremely proud of what they do. 26. What do we know about hacking? A.

But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 28. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. D 136 types of seeds, including crops, forest vegetation, flowers, and microorganisms will be carried on board the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft to start their space breeding journey. These seeds will contribute to the advancement of China’s agricultural science and technology and enhance food security, the China Manned Space Engineering Office announced on Wednesday in a statement. The seeds were selected through a four-month application and review process and have been chosen from 53 institutions across the country. The project, conducted by manned spaceflight, is of a public welfare nature and does not charge any carrying fees. It has been 36 years since China’s first space seed breeding effort in 1987, the country has sent the seeds of hundreds of plant species into space on dozens of retrievable satellites (返回式卫星) and Shenzhou spaceships. Nearly 1,000 new species have been created, of which 200 have displayed outstanding performances, according to media reports. Space seed breeding uses cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) to mutate the genes of seeds sent into space, in order to create new species for greater variety. “Space peppers and watermelons” commonly found in supermarkets in China are successful varieties of space breeding. China ranks first in the world in the number of cultivated varieties and the range of popularization and application of space breeding. The area under cultivation for grains, vegetables, fruits and other plants developed by space seed breeding has surpassed 4 million hectares, and generated economic benefits of over 200 billion yuan ($30.51 billion), media earlier reported. The seeds need further improvement, especially in disease resistance, through conventional breeding methods and space breeding, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Space breeding involves exposing seeds and strains to cosmic radiation and microgravity during a spaceflight mission to mutate their genes. China’s space seed breeding level also reflects the nation’s advancing aerospace technology, Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times. And he added, “There are only a few countries in the world with mature aerospace technology, and China’s level of space seed breeding technology is world-class.” 32. What does the underlined word “mutate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Change. B. Destroy. C. Infect. D. Enhance. 33. What do Chinese authorities need to do to further improve the seeds? A. Increase the number of seeds sent into space. B. Cultivate new species through genetic mutation. C. Combine space breeding with traditional breeding methods. D. Use more advanced aerospace technology to breed seeds in space. 34. What achievement is an example of China’s space seed breeding project? A. The seeds are now capable of resisting diseases. B. It has successfully cultivated over 1,000 new species. C. The project has mutated thousands of plant genes in space. D. China’s space seed breeding technology is the world’s best. 35. What is the best title for this article? A. Space Breeding: China’s Leading Role in Agricultural Science B. Space Breeding: A breakthrough in China’s genetic technology C. Space Breeding: Benefits and Risks for China’s Future Agriculture D. Space Breeding: A contribution to China’s agricultural technology and food security 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。 Here come some of the ways advised to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard. ♦ Be grateful and say thanks often ___36___.

They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA. After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions. Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me?” Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance. This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points. 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。 “You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始听下面对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的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。We are going to the indian restaurant for a lunch in a minute.
