Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·郑州高二期中)Born after 1995,Lin Xi learned the Turkish language at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and went on to pursue graduate studies in journalism and communications at a university in the UK.After graduation,she had been a travel vlogger and worked for a TV station.
During a visit to a museum in Japan in 2019,Lin was impressed by how beautifully the disassembled(拆分) parts of a lamp were arranged in a frame,and later thought she might try her luck at the craft—turning old objects into exquisite works of art that remind people of their past.
Lin perfected her skills by deconstructing her old items while following the instructions provided by teaching videos.She also designed all the layouts for her works.
To deconstruct an object,Lin first takes it apart,leaving out the parts that might affect the visual effect of the final work,while keeping those she thinks can add to its beauty.
She then washes the selected spare parts in an ultrasonic(超声波) cleaner,dries them,puts them on a piece of white paper on which she draws a layout,prints the final version of the layout,sticks the spare parts on the background surface and then frames the work.
Since 2019,Lin has so far disassembled hundreds of cellphones,as well as cameras,game consoles,and items that have special significance for their owners.To date,she has gained 2 million followers across various platforms through showcasing her skills on videos.Lin said her customers include tech fans who hope to use spare cellphone parts to show the evolution of technology and also those who want to preserve their past memories.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读
(2023·西安高二期末)How is dining in space different from eating on Earth?
Spacesuits?Check!Oxygen?Check!Water?Check!Are we forgetting something?Food!If you send astronauts into space,you have to send along food as well.But what do astronauts eat,and how do they eat it?1.
First,and possibly most important,is nutrition(营养).Maintaining the astronauts' physical health is a top task for any space mission.Providing junk foods to eat,such as potato chips,sodas,and pizza,would make the astronauts feel unhealthy.
2. If the food that has been provided is distasteful,then the astronauts may avoid eating it.If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn't feel well,you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space.Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill into the cabin.Liquids or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it.3. A loose knife bouncing(弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
4. The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and home again.5. Most foods are stored in plastic bags,and often,the foods are dehydrated(脱水).When an astronaut is ready to eat,hot water is added to rehydrate the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements,much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A.Variety and taste are also important.
B.Finally,weight is an important concern.
C.Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D.Believe it or not,they also have fresh fruit and vegetables.
E.Nutrition and practicality are important things to consider.
F.For the same reason sharp utensils are never used on board.
G.Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在太空吃饭和在地球吃饭有何不同?文章介绍了科学家设计太空饮食时考虑的几个因素。
1.G [解析]根据上文“But what do astronauts eat,and how do they eat it?”可知,本句是疑问句,空处应承接上文,再根据下文给出的几个因素可知,G选项“科学家在设计太空饮食时考虑了几个因素”符合题意,其中factors呼应下文的几个具体因素。故选G。
2.A [解析]根据下文“If the food that has been provided is distasteful,then the astronauts may avoid eating it.”可知,如果提供的食物不可口,宇航员可能不会吃。由此可推知,本段在说明食物种类和口味是很重要的。所以A选项“食物种类和口味是很重要的”可以作为本段的主旨句。故选A。
3.F [解析]根据上文“Liquids or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it.”可知,液体或食物残渣可能会进入机器或电子设备并造成损坏。F项承接上文,说明出于同样的原因,飞船上从不使用锋利的器具,且呼应下文“一把松动的小刀在船舱里乱弹是很危险的”。sharp utensils are never used on board呼应be dangerous。故选F。
4.B [解析]根据下文“The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and home again.”可知,必须计算航天器中每一个物体的重量,以确保有足够的燃料和动力将航天器安全地送入太空并返回地面。由此可推知,本段在说明另一个考虑因素是重量。所以B选项“最后,重量是一个重要的问题”符合题意。weight是关键词。故选B。
5.C [解析]根据下文“Most foods are stored in plastic bags,and often,the foods are dehydrated.”可知,大多数食物都储存在塑料袋里,而且通常都是脱水的。由此推知,食物的包装做得尽可能轻。C项符合题意。故选C。

My Favorite Scientist
My favorite scientist is Yuan Longping,the “father of hybrid rice”.
As one of China's most famous scientists,Yuan devoted himself to studying agriculture.His hybrid strains have helped feed not just China,but many other countries that depend on rice as well.He received numerous awards,but he cared little for celebrity or money.Instead,he made large donations to support agricultural research.
Yuan's great contributions to human beings and his noble personality have impressed me deeply,which motivates me to be excellent.
Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When we are having quarrels with others,it is easy to say or do hurtful things in anger.The verbal wound can be as bad as a physical one.And no matter how many times you say you are sorry,or how many years pass,the scar of those wounds will still be there.If we are wise,we will spend our time building bridges rather than barriers in our relationships.
Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented,creative,handsome,and extremely bright.A natural leader.The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project.But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper.When he got angry,he usually said,and often did,some very hurtful things.In fact,he seemed to have little regard for those around him.Even friends.So,naturally,he had few.“But,”he told himself,“that just shows how stupid most people are!”
One day at school,when having a craft class,his partner accidentally crushed a small part of their handiwork.The boy immediately got extremely angry,starting to criticize and tease her.“You disgust me!”After hearing those hurtful words,she started to cry uncontrollably.Before long,the girl began shutting herself away from everyone and was seized by a sense of worthlessness.Fortunately,under the guidance of teachers,she broke away from the trap of worthlessness.But she never talked with the boy.
Having known what happened at school,the boy's parents became concerned about this personality flaw,and thought long and hard about what they should do.Finally,the father had an idea.And he struck a bargain with his son.He gave him a bag of nails,and a big hammer.“Whenever you lose your temper,”he told the boy,“I want you to really let it out.Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back.Hit that nail as hard as you can!”
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。
Paragraph 1:
The boy started to hit the nail,but it wasn't as easy as it first sounded.
Paragraph 2:
To show him what remained in the fence,his father told him to pull out one nail each time he controlled his temper.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
The boy started to hit the nail,but it wasn't as easy as it first sounded.By the end of the first week,the boy had driven 40 nails into the oak boards of that old fence.Little by little,the number became less.Holding his temper proved to be easier than driving nails into the fence.Finally,the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.He took pride in himself as he told his parents about his progress.
Paragraph 2:
To show him what remained in the fence,his father told him to pull out one nail each time he controlled his temper. He did as his father told him.Finally,one day the boy was able to report excitedly that all the nails were gone.At that point,the father asked his son to take one more look at the fence.The young boy found many holes were left.The father said,“No matter what happens from now on,the fence will never be the same.Saying or doing hurtful things in anger produces the same result.No matter how many times you say sorry,the hole is still there.”
