B As a boy,I watched spacecraft launches,and when looking up at all the stars in the night sky,I wondered whether I could go to space.I wish I could tell that boy that his dreams would come true and that he would grow up to pilot spaceships When I first arrived in space,I travelled eight and a half minutes on an extremely wild ride on a rocket ship.However,it was short enough that it was more like driving a car at maximum performance on a very rough road.As soon as I got to weightlessness my body was in a 高二英语试题(B卷)第4页（共12页） completely different environment,which brought about throwing-up and exhaustion.Travel sickness medicine helped my body adapt to it. It's extremely mind-expanding to get the true reality of our world from space,from glancing at the entire length of the Himalayas to seeing the wildfires of Australia.And perhaps the most impactful is to see something rare.One dawn,I looked down the world with my camera trying to steal every moment I could.It was just the right angle between the sun behind the horizon and the right rare collection of ice crystals ()high in the atmosphere.There was an unearthly light,almost like a surreal rainbow.I felt like the world had just shown me a secret. One night,I saw a shooting star,an enormous,random rock from the universe trapped by the Earth's gravity.You can't help but think that rock just went by us.It did make my blood run cold when I thought it could have just as easily come through our spaceship and made a significant hole,which probably would have killed all of us.I know how to repair holes in the ship,but if the chance event is large enough,you're dead.It is dangerous,risk-filled,but fascinatingly beautiful and rewarding. 24.What can we learn about the author in paragraph 1? A.He was fond of travelling. B.He longed to be an astronaut. C.He had an enquiring mind. D.He desired to own a spaceship. 25.What does the underlined word"it"in paragraph 2 refer to?

C.Innovative. D.Responsible. C Time zone differences have a stronger effect on tourism than geographical distance,according to new research from London School of Economics and Political Science and Danube University Krems. This means that tourists,in an effort to avoid jet lag,are more likely to travel further to a country within the same time zone or a country with only a small time difference,than to an equally far country with a larger time zone difference.They will on average even prefer a location further away as long as the time zone difference is less. The research is the first to analyse the effect of time zone differences on international tourist travel over and beyond the effect of geographical distance.Previous studies have already shown that 高二英语试题(B卷)第5页（共12页) international trade and foreign direct funding are negatively affected by time zone differences because of two main reasons:the reduction of overlap (in normal business hours and the negative impact on the well-being of individuals that travelling across time zones can have. The researchers studied every year's total arrivals and overnight stays between pairs of countries over 1995-2013.It found that international tourist arrivals between two countries are reduced by an average of 11.6 per cent per hour time difference.The researchers estimate that a time zone difference of eight hours reduces international tourism by about 88 per cent.After eight hours,additional hours of time difference are not statistically significantly different from the effect at eight hours.One possible interpretation is that after the eight hours limit,additional hours no longer make much difference since one's bio-physical clock doesn't match the time in the destination country completely. This study provides another piece of evidence of the importance of space and location in shaping international economic activity.Time zone differences significantly impact the extent to which tourism destinations can turn potential demand for tourism from source countries into actual arrivals if these source countries are located in different time zones. 28.What does the new research focus on? A.The role of location in international tourism. B.The influence of time zone differences on travel. C.The impact of geographical distance on economy. D.The relationship between jet lag and international trade. 29.What may cause time zone difference to harm business according to previous studies? A.Long travel distance. B.Increased overlapped hours. C.Extra overnight stays. D.Unmatched work schedules 30.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.Studies review. B.Data collection. C.Problem analysis. D.Research findings. 31.What's the author's attitude towards the study? A.Favourable. B.Doubtful. C.Unclear. D.Critical. D Who among us hasn't weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute )or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic?But while it's obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration,translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult. It's what Dr.Christian Krekel and Dr.George MacKerron have been exploring.They propose a new method for estimating the Value of Time (VOT)and calculate ()for the first time,VOTs for 高二英语试题(B卷)第6页（共12页） a wide range of common activities such as walking,commuting and socialising.Through an app called Mappiness,they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere.With data from over 30,000 people around the UK,the researchers were able to identify how people felt when carrying out 42 daily activities and calculate a monetary()value for each activity. Interestingly,"waiting or queuing"was found to have a strong and significant negative impact on happiness,ranking as the third least enjoyable activity.The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth f12.20 per hour;commuting f8.40 per hour;and waiting during commuting,a huge f17.20 per hour.These high costs suggest that respondents would be better off spending their time doing something else.Or,as Dr.Krekel says,"Someone who is waiting for 60 minutes would need to be paid f12.20 to achieve the same level of happiness if they were not waiting.” This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time-saving facilities,helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money.By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population,the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit. 32.Why does the author mention two situations in paragraph 1? A.To present a fact. B.To introduce the topic. C.To explain the issue. D.To compare the differences. 33.The researchers estimated the VOTs through A.random surveys B.calculated case studies C.on-site observations D.face-to-face interviews 34.Which of the following might have the highest VOT according to the research? A.Commuting to school on a bus for thirty minutes. B.Waiting for a coffee for nearly one hour at a cafe. C.Spending two hours shopping with a friend at a mall. D.Being stuck in traffic for an hour on the way to work. 35.What can be concluded about the new method? A.It can boost economy. B.It can benefit companies. C.It can guide policymaking. D.It can promote consumption. 高二英语试题(B卷)第7页（共12页） 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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings,we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life.36 Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression.The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you.37 Similarly,slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. 38 In video calls,you need to be aware that less is more.Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen-people need time to take in what they are hearing.And when you are listening to others,glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against“resting bored face"”syndrome(综合征).Our facial expressions are visible on screen,so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have.But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when"resting bored face"syndrome can set in-a facial expression that others register as boredom.39 Be present and active-don't multitask.Don't check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call.40 While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once,and not lose track of what's being discussed,the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A.Master the art of employing gestures. B.Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C.Even if you are silent,others can see what you are up to. D.For instance,crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E.This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F.To avoid this,remember to nod,smile and lean forward occasionally. G.Therefore,it's effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 高二英语试题(B卷)第8页（共12页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Whit,a professional magician,was hired by a restaurant to do magic for the customers.One evening he walked up to a family,pulled out a pack of cards and began 41.Turning to a young girl sitting at the table,he asked her to select a 42.The girl's father informed him that Wendy was 43 Whit replied,“That'sOK.Wendy,.would you like to_44_me with a trick(戏法)？"Being a little 45,she agreed with a nod.Whit sat down across from Wendy and said,"I'm going to hold up a card,and you use your super power to tell me what colour the card is,red or black.You got it?"
