The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steel work,which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel,which is combined with more traditional elements like the cabinetry ()We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond.It has carefully placed picture windows,which provide ever-changing views as the seasons continue. We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn (to the next,in order to take advantage of the views.Our architect creatively transformed our basic concept by turning it 90 degrees to include a large glass wall,which we hadn't thought of.I am always cooking,so I wanted plenty of space,and the ability to entertain on a large scale ( as well as somewhere for the two of us to eat.I love the size,the natural light and the peace and quiet,together with the amazing outlook. We have a large family and the open nature of the kitchen and outdoor terrace make it great for entertaining-but the most relaxing moment is sitting with a cup of tea and,Bill, our dog.I also enjoy the early mornings,watching the sunrise when no one else is up.I particularly love festivals in spring when all the family is home.The weather is warming up, we can open the doors to the garden,and the grandchildren are hunting for surprises from mother nature. 24.What do we know about the author?

In around one billion years,our Sun will swell to a red giant,absorbing Mercury and Venus during its growth.This process is called red giant period.There's a chance that Earth could be spared.As it swells,the Sun will start losing mass ()which will cause its planets to migrate outwards,meaning Earth could race ahead of the growing star."Whether life can survive on Earth through that red giant period is unknown.Our Sun will begin the long transformation into becoming a white dwarf(白矮星)，"says Jessica Lu from the research team of UC,Berkeley,which discovered the planet. The planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b is located about 4,000 light years away.It is about the same mass as Earth but it orbits a white dwarf star at twice the distance.In 2020,it was discovered using a method called microlensing(微透镜s效应)where the light from a far star,or source star,is made brighter by the gravity of a closer star,or lens star.By studying how the light brightens,the research team found this planet orbiting the lens star. Three years later,the source star moved away.The team returned to observe the lens star on its own,only to find the star was too cloudy to be seen."Our conclusions are based on removing various possibilities,since a normal star would have been easily seen by astronomers,"says Keming Zhang,who led the research team."Because the lens star is both dark and low mass,we concluded that it can only be a white dwarf." Will the future of the earth be like that of that planet?Only time will tell. 28.What does the underlined word "swell"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Reduce. B.Belong. C.Move. D.Expand. 29.What can we know about the planet KMT-2020-BLG-0414L b? A.It orbits a white dwarf. B.It is as large as the Earth. C.It is not far from the Earth. D.Its light helped find planets. 30.What do Keming Zhang's words mean? A.Astronomers will find more lens stars. B.People can distinctly see a normal star. C.A white dwarf is dark and low mass. D.Various discoveries led to their conclusions. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Distant Planet Is Moving Closer to Earth B.Earth Will Be Absorbed by the Sun One Day C.New Planet's Discovery Indicates Earth will Become Lifeless D.Newly Discovered Planet Betters Our Understanding of Earth's Future 高二英语试题第5页（共10页） D From long and winding migration fights to complex songs and clever tool use,many bird behaviors are known to be shared socially and to carry on through generations-what scientists define as animal "culture".Now a study suggests culture might play a role in bird architecture,too. Researchers analyzed more than 400 structures built by 43 different groups of sparrows (in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa.The scientists found that different gatherings of birds,even those living only a few meters from one another,built very different tube structures.The biggest difference was in "how short or long the structures are,"says study lead author Maria C.Tello-Ramos,a biologist at the University of Hull in England.Tube width also varied between groups.Furthermore,each group maintained the same architectural style over time-and when outsiders joined,they adapted to this style. To examine why the groups built differently,the team analyzed factors that can determine a nest's size and shape for a given bird species:weather conditions,tree height, individuals'body size and genetic relatedness.Yet none of these factors seemed to play a related role in shaping how the Kalahari sparrows built their nests,the researchers report in Science.Tello-Ramos and her colleagues suggested that cultural sharing might be key to nest building."In our paper,we haven't gotten there yet with experiments,but we have very good clues (that this might be it,"she says. "These are important questions that are understudied,"says Christina Riehl,a biologist at Princeton University.She's not convinced the study's data are enough to fully remove genetic influence."They can't actually look at the effect of genetic differences,because they don't have really good genetic information on all the individuals in these groups,"she says. "I think there's a lot left to be done,and I think this paper will inspire future research in a really good way." 32.What is the purpose of writing paragraph 1? A.To give examples. B.To introduce the topic. C.To make an assumption. D.To express a viewpoint. 33.What's the finding of researching different groups of sparrow nests? A.They are most different in shape. B.They are open to all groups of sparrows. C.They keep the same architectural style. D.They are of different length and width. 34.How did Tello-Ramos and her colleagues draw their conclusion in the paper? A.By removing the impossible factors. B.By carrying on experiments. C.By collecting enough proofs. D.By referring to historical data. 35.What does Riehl think of the study according to the last paragraph? A.It is not perfect but inspiring. B.It is good but not necessary. C.It is not accurate but detailed. D.It is different but not challenging. 高二英语试题第6页（共10页） 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。 To inspire in pupils a curiosity about the world and its people,we need to provide children with opportunities to be curious.36.They have been practised by thousands of teachers and proved to be effective.

Mary closed her eyes."Ignore him,"she told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day,Mary was still thinking about the tall boy's teasing.Kids laughed at her about her speech or her limping.Mary was tired of it.Sometimes,even in a classroom full of other students,the teasing made her feel all alone. Back home at the dinner table that evening,Mary was quiet.Her mother knew that things were not going well at school."There's a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,"Mary's mom announced."Write a letter to Santa,and you might win a prize." A smile took hold of Mary when an idea first came to her.Out came pencil and paper, and Mary went to work on her letter to Santa Claus.In the letter she described her problem at school and asked Santa for help,hoping to get one day when no one laughed at her or made fun of her. At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne,Indiana,letters poured in for the Christmas wish contest.The workers had fun reading about all the different presents that boys and girls from across the city wanted for Christmas. When Mary's letter arrived at the radio station,the manager read it carefully.He knew cerebral palsy was a muscle disorder that might confuse some of Mary's schoolmates,who didn't understand her disability.He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this girl and her unusual wish. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 So the manager called up the local newspaper immediately.

Mary and her family read every single letter filled with friendship and support.Each writer had a special message for Mary.Through the cards and letters from strangers,Mary glimpsed a world full of people who truly cared about each other.Also,teachers and students of her school talked together about how bad teasing could make others feel.Students realized that teasing others for their physical disabilities is wrong.Happily for her,Mary fulfilled her Christmas wish and her schoolmates no longer teased her.

Letters from friends and kind-hearted strangers came in their home,making Mary feel less alone and more hopeful. Mary and her family read every single letter filled with friendship and support.Unexpectedly, they found several letters signed by Santa Claus.Mary opened them one by one with excitement."I deeply apologize for the harm I caused you at school,"one mentioned."I would love to be your friend who will never make fun of you and stand by your side,"another stated.Upon finishing reading all Santas'letters,Mary hugged her family with tears of joy in her eyes.At that moment, Mary's Christmas wish was granted,which was the best prize from Santa.
