C A planarian (is an inch-long worm often found in rivers and ponds worldwide.Though it is nothing special to look at,it has a hidden talent that has made it famous.It can regrow its body parts better than almost any other aninal on Earth.If its head,tail,or both are removed,the remaining middle section can regrow into a full worm within weeks.Meanwhile,the severed()head and the lonesome tail will aiso each generate a full-sized new worm,so where you started with one worm,you'll now have three which are genetically identical to the provider. Two biologists at Tufts University,curious to learn how this little worm remembers things,did an experiment.Michael Levin and Tal Shomrat know that planarians don't like light.In the dark,the worms can hide from predators(天s敌，feel safe and secretly gather food.. They wanted to implant a memory about light in their laburatory worms.To do that,they placed a delicious liver snack on a well-lit plate,and rewarded the worms who went close and punished them if they sought the safety of the dark.So,gradually,their wormns began to trust the light,and approached it more quickly. Then,they cut off their heads.But in a couple of weeks,the severed worms had new heads.Levin and Shomrat wondered if those new heads would keep their old memories. According to National Geographic's account,these worms with new heads remembered where the light spot was,that it was safe,and that food could be found there.The worms'memories were just as accurate as those worms who had never lost their heads. How did the worms do it?"We have no idea."Michacl Levin told National Geographic.Since these animals were briefly brainless after their being severed,he says,"What we do know is that memory can be stored outside the brain-probably in other body celis-so that memories can get imprinted onto the new brain as it regenerates." 28.What amazes the biologists about planarians? A.Their ability to reproduce. B.Their living habits in water. C.Their identical look to each other. D.Their complex body shape. 29.What was the purpose of the experiment conducted on the planarians?

C.By placing planarians in complete darkness. D.By exposing planarians to various predators. 31.What did the researchers find about planarians in the experiment? A.They had better memories after losing head. B.They kept memories beyond the brain. C.They lost their ability to detect light. D.They rewrote some oid memerics. 高二年级英语期末试题第4页共8页 D The Semmelweis effect refers to the tendency to automatically reject new information or knowledge because it contradicts current thinking or beliefs.This is often seen in science and academics when a new theory is put forward that most people don't want to accept immediately.It is named after Dr.Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865),who is now considered a father of handwashing and used to work in the Viennese general hospital. Imagine the hospital in the 1840s.It was the biggest medical institution in the Austro-Hungarian capital,a center of European science,where doctors not only cared for patients,but also performed autopsies()to leam more about the human body and trained students.Therefore,it came as a surprise to Dr.Ignaz Semmelweis,an assistant physician in the materity department(),that almost every third woman died of childbed fever while giving birth.At times,the young doctor was terrified to learn that in his department, where doctors and medical students worked,the death rate was much higher than in the second department, where midwife()students were trained.After many observations,he figured out that doctors and students working on dead bodies and other patients were spreading bacteria to women in childbirth. When Semmelweis ordered fellow doctors to not only wash their hands,but disinfect them and their instruments before seeing patients,the death rate dropped to a record low at the time. Despite his clear and weil documented evidence,Semmelweis's efforts to introduce hand washing and disinfecting after every treatment,received little support from his colleagues.At the time,the popular medical theory held that diseases were spread by the bad air caused by rotten matter.Semmelweis'discoveries hit the self-image of physicians at a sensitive point.A doctor as the author of death and illness instead of a lifesaver was an unacceptable idea that most did not want to accept. It took generations of doctors to adopt Semmelweis'measures.This shows that in the struggle for truth, emotions play a central role in addition to objective evidence.In science philosophy,the expression “Semmelweis effect'describes the knee-jerk(下意识t的)reaction to reject an innovation in advance. 32.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A.The midwife students did better than the doctors. B.Midwife students had no access to dead bodies. C.The training of midwives was very successful. D.Young mothers had higher risks of dying. 33.What does the underlined word "author"mean in Paragraph 4? A.Writer. B.Founder. C.Suspect. D.Producer. 34.Why did Semmelweis's colleagues initially disapprove of his finding? A.They were uncertain about their mistakes. B.They were better doctors than Ignaz. C.It contradicted the popular theory. D.It lacked clear objective evidence. 35.What is the best title for the article? A.Semmelweis Effect:when facts beat beliefs B.Semmelweis Effect:when beliefs beat facts C.Hand Washing:a revolutionary discovery D.Hand Washing:an ignored practice 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。 高二年级英语期末试题第5页共8页 The Impact of Intelligent media on Intereultural Communication With the development of seience and technology,the media presents the characteristics of intelligence. 36 Due to these characteristics,it has transformed communication,enabling individuals and businesses to interact globally.However,its rapid growth brings both positive and negative consequences for intercultural communication. 37 Social media platform users constantly post pictures or videos covering a wide range of topics,with others liking,commenting.or sharing them.Through these interactions,individuals are exposed to diverse perspectives and lifestyles,building cross-cultural relationships and enhancing their intercultural competence. 38 Some companies using real-time translation platforms can negotiate contracts and esiablish parmerships with international customers without language barriers.

In conclusion,while intelligent media promotes global cross-cultural exchange,it creates tensicns within the values exchanged across cultures.As the digital world continues to expand,it is cruciai to strike a balance between embracing innovation and preserving our cultural roots.40 A.Numerous platforms create and share short videos. B.Besides,international business relationship is strengthened. C.Most probably,users'personal infonnation might be leaked. D.Intelligent media is cross-regional,virtual,timely,and cheap.
