When itwas col ouwesao the coueith the fire bnh firepace.I eedher shoulerand watched theinesn her face disappear asshesed her voice to mimic the characters in the book. It coud have beenher time toefer tking are of hildren and a husband all day,but instead,she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and come tiptoeing back into the living room afier everyone else was asleep.Being the youngest of 11 children,sometimes,it was easy to get lost in the crowd,and I cherished those moments:I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother's lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn't thinking about cooking,cleaning,disciplining,or paying the bills.When she read Cinderella to me,she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it,too. When I became a busy parent with my children,I understood my mother's sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me.But,somehow,I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later.I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first- grade class for National Children's book week.Besides helping a child develop a love for reading,it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills ()a sense of security they never forget.It's when the parent focuses on the child without distractions,and a child can feel that.I did.For a moment,we aren't adults with all the answers and rules,but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children,either.When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life,I find a book and let myself get lost for a while.The difference between reading a book,hanging out on your iPad,or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book,the story can be what you imagine it to be,and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to.I like that. 24.What impressed the author most? A.His mother read to him during his childhood. B.The warmth beside the fireplace in a cold night. C.They sat on the couch late at night. D.He mimicked the characters in the book. 25.What made the author have conflicting feelings? A.He slipped out of my bed and tiptoed to Mum. B.He did everything when others were asleep. C.He was always lost in the crowd. D.He stole mum's time to relax but enjoyed it. 26.Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage? A.It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. B.It helps kids form a sense of security. C.It helps kids perform well in elementary school. D.It helps adults find answers and rules. 27.What is the passage mainly aimed at? A.Relieving everyday stress. B.Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C.Advertising for National Children's book week. D.Calling for kids to read more. 高二英语试燃第4项共心典 C Tardigrades()with nicknames like "water bear",may be the toughest animals on Earth.They have evolved to live almost anywhere and survive almost anything.Some tardigrades can escape conditions that would kill most living beings,including extremes far beyond anything fo1ndon上ath Tardigrades have been around for at least 500 million years or so.possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods(节肢动物).Over I.OO0 species are known today,including marine, freshwater.and terrestrial tardigrades.Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes A typical tardigrade is about 0.5 mm long.and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length. Perhaps the most famous thing about tardigrades is their strange and mysterious durability (抗时性)，Tardigrades are not immortal,.but they have a powerful adaptation that allows them to survive for decades in extreme conditions. To endure environmental stress,.tardigrades suspend their metabolism(新陈代谢)through a 安顺卷 process called eryptobiosis.They curl up and enter a death-like state known as a tun.Their metabolism slows to 0.01%of normal,and their water content drops to less than 1%.They 高二 survive in this state by replacing the water in their cells with a protective sugar called trehalose()which preserves all the cellular machinery until water is available again. Some tardigrades in a tun can handle pressure as high as 600 megapascals (MPa).That's nearly 6.000 atmospheres,or 6,000 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere at sea level,and it's about six times higher than the pressure found in the planet's deepest ocean trenches.Even half as much pressure,300 MPa,would kill most multicellular life and bacteria. Two tardigrade species flew into low-Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission in 2007.becoming the first animals known to survive direct exposure to space.The 12-day mission proved that exposure to space was no problem for them,and the lack of gravity had little effect,either.Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission.Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1.000 times more radiation than a human. Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation- resistant,which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to increase the stress tolerance of human cells in the future,according to a study published in the journal Science in October 2024. 28.How does the author introduce the features of tardigrades in Paragraph 2? A.By making comparisons. B.By analyzing cause and effect. C.By showing examples. D.By listing figures. 29.Why can tardigrades possibly survive in extreme conditions according to this passage? A.Because they are immortal. B.Because they can change extreme conditions. C.Because they slow down their metabolism. D.Because they can regain life from death for many times. 30.When tardigrades face pressure or space,what is a possible condition? A.They can't handle pressure more than 500 Mpa. B.They will be killed by the pressure about 300 Mpa. C.They can only survive indirect exposure to space. D.They are almost not affected by the lack of gravity 31.What is important for the study of Chinese scientists? A.Their findings can be applied to help human beings. B.They focuses on the reproduction of tardigrades C.They study the dietary habits of tardigrades. D.They proved tardigrades radiant-resistant. 高二英语试选第5贞共10项 D A famous travel writer,Pico lyer,recently wrote of his experience in the deep south of the world.The visit,he said,"awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world,and you go home with important questions for your conscience (as well as radiant memories".Iyer isn't alone.This response is widespread.known in the industry as Antarctic ambassadorship. In Antarctica,crowding.environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues. While 100,000 tourists a year is tiny by global tourism standards,and visits are concentrated in highly sensitive ecological areas for only a few months per year.There are no residents to disturb (other than local wildlife),because there's no host community to protest if visitor numbers get too high. Even so,strong protections are in place.In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System-- the set of international agreements signed by countries with an Antarctic presence or an interest- tourism operators based in those nations have to apply for permits and follow strict environmental regulations. For instance,to avoid introducing new species,tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice,and keeping a set distance from wildlife. Almost all Antarctic cruise owners belong to the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators,the peak body that manages Antarctic tourism.For the first time this year. operators have to report their overall fuel consumption as part of IAATO's efforts to make the industry more climate-friendly.Some operators are now using hybrid vessels(合成船舶)that can run partly on electric propulsion (for short periods,reducing carbon dioxide emissions. If you're one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer,enjoy the experience-but go with care.Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctica and once you're safely back home. 32.What's the function of Paragraph 1? A.To introduce the famous writer Pico lyer. B.To show how amazing to be Antarctic Ambassador. C.To arouse public interest in Antarctic tourism. D.To show concerns for Antarctic environment. 33.What's the possible meaning of the underlined word"vacuuming"in Paragraph 4? A.protecting. B.emptying C.staining. D.filling 34.Which is true about the operator this year according to the passage? A.They needn't report overall fuel assumption. B.They made no effort to be climate-friendly C.Hybrid vessels are a good choice to reduce CO2 D.Polar travel can be stopped right away by the company 35.What's the author's attitude towards Antarctic tourism? A.Positive. B.Neutral. C.Negative. D.Unclear 高二英语试幽第6贞共10项 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分125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。 It is always good to be informed about how to deal with possible emergencies and difficulties when travelling abroad 36 Health Care Italy guarantees medical assistance to anyone who needs it and goes to a public hospital or similar facility (emergency rooms,polyclinics,doctor's surgeries).37 However,we recommend taking out travel health insurance before you depart,to make sure you are covered for any accidents and ilnesses not covered by the National Health Service.
