After the clean-up, we will spend some time collecting data about the litter collected. We will do this so that we can learn more about the types of litter found in our river. So come along and help us to remove ocean litter from the sea, all the way back to the source! A Few Things to Remember * Registration is essential.

NOTE: There is a strict limit of 15 volunteers for this project. All volunteers will be required to answer a COVID-19 questionnaire (问卷) prior to participating. This project received funds from the Australian government. Time Required We will be running clean-ups along the Parramatta River on a monthly basis, with each event running for about 4 hours.

B As a teen, Mara Clawson loved making art — specifically drawing with pastels (蜡笔). So at 14, she reached out to Art Enables, a studio and gallery in Washington, D. C., where she really wanted to make that art. But Art Enables requires its members to be at least 21 years old. That didn’t hold her back. During the seven-year wait, Clawson stayed focused. She and her parents kept in close touch with the gallery, and she sent work to its exhibits as a special guest. After about 2,500 days, Clawson finally joined the ranks. Art Enables is a lot like other art studios — it is quiet enough to hear a paintbrush clink (碰得叮当响) the sides of a water glass and, of course, it’s full of art. Those things attracted Clawson, but she was also drawn to the artists who make up the studio-artists, like her, who have a disability of some kind. “Our mission is to help artists build a career in the arts,” says the director Tony Brunswick. “Art Enables is not an art therapy (治疗) program; it’s not an art education program. We’re a professional studio.” Artists regularly exhibit work in the galleries, and visitors can buy that art. This is a business — artists earn money from the sales and work to build their personal brands. Employment rates for people with disabilities can be pretty low. In Washington, D. C., about 33 percent of working-age people with disabilities are employed, compared with about 79 percent of working-age people overall, according to a 2015 survey. “Employers still don’t want to hire people with disabilities,” says Morris, who worked in the field of human services. From his point of view, any exposure that highlights the talents of the long-marginalized (长期边缘化的) community is good exposure. When passers-by walk into Art Enables and fall in love with a hand-painted birdhouse or a sketch (素描) before learning that it was made by someone with a disability, that piece of art has the opportunity to broaden their perspective. In other words, it allows art and artists to do what they do best. 24. How did Clawson react to Art Enables’s rejection? A. She stopped contacting the studio. B. She devoted herself to applying for membership. C. She gave up her passion for pastel drawing. D. She sent her works to other studios. 25. What do we know about Art Enables? A. It is run for educational purposes. B. It is an art therapy program. C. It welcomes artists of all ages. D. It works with disabled artists. 26. What might Morris think of Art Enables? A. It creates opportunities for disabled people to demonstrate their talents. B. It is unable to change employers’ attitudes toward disabled people. C. It exposes disabled people to public criticism. D. It should serve as a nonprofit. 27. What does the author say about art in the last paragraph? A. Art has the power to change the world. B. Art can motivate artists to try their best. C. Art can help widen people’s viewpoints. D. Art is a bridge between artists and society. C A smile is the key to a thousand doors, but deploying it in every situation without mastery of its use is dangerous, says a new social science study. Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast found that subtle(细微的)differences in the way in which a person smiled had not-so-subtle impacts on the opinions which the test participants had about the smiler. While playing a set of economic games, such as those that require trust to create value for both players, or which can gain more value for a single person willing to cheat, the subject individual first displayed uncooperative behavior and thus triggered(导致)a loss of trust or confidence in their partner. It was then that, depending on the characteristics of the smile made at the game’s end by the subject, the participants changed their expectations of how the smiler would behave during the next game. Three different smiles were used. After untrustworthy or uncooperative behavior, a reward smile — a big smile like a kid who got the ice cream he was begging for, and a dominance smile, a sign of superiority, won very little trust, expectations of change in behavior, and positivity. However, an “affiliation smile,” which seems to have a sign of regret, like the smile someone might make after comforting a dear friend, created a desire to repair the broken relationship and to trust the person who had just done something unfair. “Think about movie villains(反派), for example in James Bond films,” said Dr. Magdalena Rychlowska, who led the research. “They often smile happily when something bad has happened or is about to happen. This context makes these otherwise happy and normal smiles feel threatening and unpleasant.” She adds, “The findings of this study show the power of subtle facial expressions and the positive consequences that an affiliation smile can have in difficult situations. It also highlights the importance of social context — a happy smile that could be read as a signal of trustworthiness in one setting can, in another setting, be seen as evidence of bad intentions.” 28. What does the underlined word “deploying” in the first paragraph mean? A. Applying. B. Noticing. C. Hiding. D. Understanding. 29. Which smile could most probably repair relationships damaged by mistrust? A. A reward smile. B. A dominance smile. C. An affiliation smile. D. An intentional smile. 30. What does Dr. Magdalena Rychlowska think of happy smiles? A. They stand out in James Bond movies. B. Their meanings depend on the context. C. There are various ways to show them. D. They represent a potential risk. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To reveal the secret behind smiles. B. To persuade people to smile often. C. To introduce three different smiles. D To call people’s attention to affiliation smiles. D Some tiny birds called titmice(山雀)take risks to gather some hair for their nests(巢穴). They land on their sleepy natural enemies’ backs. They even steal hair directly from people’s heads. The behavior has rarely been described by scientists. But dozens of YouTube videos catch birds in the act, researchers report July 27 in Ecology Titmice — and one chickadee — have been recorded on video pulling hair from dogs, cats, and even humans. “Bird watchers and people with dogs knew much more about this behavior than scientists themselves” says Mark Hauber, an animal behaviorist at the University of Illinois. Witnessing(目击)an act of hair thievery in the wild inspired Henry Pollock to dig deeper. Pollock is an ecologist also at the University of Illinos. In March 2020, Pollock and his colleagues were counting birds in an Illinois state park. During the count, they saw something unusual: a titmouse stealing fur from a sleeping raccoon(浣熊). “I was like, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen anything like that,’” he says. Pollock, Hauber and their colleagues wondered if other scientists had seen similar behavior. The team found only 11 scientific descriptions of birds stealing hair from live mammals(哺乳动物). Most accounts involved titmice in North America. At least five other bird species also get in on the action. Researchers have seen an American crow harvest hair from a cow. In Australia three honey eater bird species steal fur from koalas. Scientists generally assume that birds gather hair for their nests in low-risk ways. It was a surprise to learn some birds take bigger risks for hair. “Taking hairs from raccoons, which are common skilled nest predators(捕食者), suggests that it’s obviously worth the risk to get that hair,” Pollock says. Hair-harvesting bird species tend to live in colder climates. So those birds probably need hair to keep warm the team says. Some birds might also fill their nests with mammal hair to confuse would-be predators. 32. What do we know about the birds’ behavior from paragraph 2? A. It has annoyed bird watchers. B. It is little known to scientists. C. It has excited dog owners’ interest. D. It is a very hot topic for YouTubers. 33. How did Henry Pollock most probably feel when seeing what a titmouse did? A. He was concerned about the bird’s safety. B. He considered it put people at risk. C. He believed it happened often. D. He was greatly surprised. 34. What does the underlined part “get in on” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Give up. B. Prepare for. C. Take part in. D. Survive from. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. A further explanation of the bird’s behavior. B. Supporting evidence for the research results. C. Potential dangers of hair-harvesting birds. D. Reasonable doubts about the bird’s behavior. 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。 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned journey that one arranges in advance and whose main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.

It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Every Friday I went to Aunt Evie’s because Friday was card night for my grandparents and their brothers and sisters. They would gather around in the dining room, eating pie and laughing, while I looked at the dollhouse for hours. Once, I asked Aunt Evie where she got the little miniatures so that I could buy some, too, one day. But Aunt Evie said that most of the miniatures were handcrafted (手工制作的) and couldn’t be replaced. One such item was a small teddy bear an inch high. I was amazed by how beautifully it was sewn (缝) together. I wanted the bear badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie wouldn’t even notice it’s missing. But I could hold it in my hand and admire it all day long,” I thought to myself. That Friday night, it took me a couple of hours to get the courage to take the bear and put it in my pocket. I had to wait until nobody was watching me. Once the bear was in my pocket, I couldn’t wait to get home and look at it. I would have to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I had it. That night, I couldn’t sleep. “What an awful person I am,” I thought. “I’m a thief (小偷), and I stole from my family.” When I woke up the next morning, I had a fever. I stayed in bed to punish myself for what I did. I couldn’t tell my grandmother or Aunt Evie. I was too embarrassed about what I did. My hands began shaking and my stomach started aching badly. I started hating the bear. I hated myself, too, and knew that if I didn’t do something quickly, I wouldn’t be released from the bad feelings I was having. 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。 I felt worse and worse, so I decided to tell my grandmother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried hard to hold back my tears when I rang Aunt Evie’s doorbell. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 大庆石油高级中学2024-2025 学年度第一学期 期末考试试题 高二英语 注意事项 1. 考试时间120分钟, 满分150分。 2. 答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并准确填涂。 3. 选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，用橡皮擦净后，再选涂其他答案的标号。非选择题答案使用0.5毫米中性（签字）笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 4. 按照题号在各答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写答案无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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，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。 【1题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】A 【5题答案】 【答案】C 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

I can’t live with myself and what I’ve done,” I said. “You have to take the bear back and tell Aunt Evie what you did,” she said. I started to panic. Facing Aunt Evie and expecting her to believe that her niece was a thief was too much to ask. Aunt Evie will never forgive me, I thought. “You’re going to stand up and take the consequences for what you did, whether you like it or not,” my grandmother said. I tried hard to hold back my tears when I rang Aunt Evie’s doorbell. She opened the door as if she already knew what I was going to say. I showed her the little bear and told her I was sorry. Quietly, Aunt Evie picked up a box by the door and handed it to me. Inside was a miniature tea set. “I admire your courage in coming here and returning the bear. You are my favorite niece even more now,” Aunt Evie said. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
