Turkey and the Wolf:Flavour Trippin'in New Orleans by Mason Hereford Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop,Turkey and the Wolf.The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks.The meatloaf is my favourite. Mi Cocina:Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick Martinez With seven sections focused on different regions across the country,Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each.The recipes are lovely,but what I love 【高二英语第2页（共8页）】 25459B most are the stories alongside each of them.Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina, Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along. I Am from Here:Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh Bhatt Western India and the Southern US share more culinary()similarities than you'd think.from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes.Here,these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques. 21.Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking? A.Vishwesh Bhatt's. B.Rick Martinez's. C.J.Kenji Lopez-Alt's. D.Mason Hereford's. 22.Which book is titled after its author s sandwich shop? A.Turkey and the Wolf. B.The Wok. C.I Am from Here. D.Mi Cocina. 23.What is the similarity between Mi Cocina and I Am from Here? A.They feature Indian and American food. B.They share some stories. C.They emphasize the importance of fresh ingredients. D.They stress food's role in connecting cultures. B In 2016,when I was on the graduate scheme()at Deutsche Bank,Marie Inafidon. chief executive of Stemettes,who encourages girls to pursue careers in science,technology. engineering and maths (STEM),was also working there.I didn't meet her at the time,but I did read an article about her and her career. Learning at 21 years old about the career of a young black woman's succeeding in a traditionally white male-dominated industry was one of the most influential things that ever happened to me.It gave me confidence that it was possible to do well in the office and work on personal external project at the same time. Role models can play a central role in shaping a young professional's career.They are especially important if you belong to an under-represented group for whom a lack of representation in the workplace can lead to feeling isolated and lacking in confidence.They can help those just starting out,whether or not they are a graduate as I was,to believe in their own abilities. There's a growing need to have accessible role models.Given the tendency to exaggerate (success stories,hearing from women who talk honestly about the challenges they have faced,either when starting a business or forming a new career path,is much more effective. A study revealed that 70 per cent of girls say they think differently about their futures after hearing from women role models. I'm frequently asked about what businesses could be doing to increase racial diversity( 族多样性)in the workplace.A good starting point is to actively promote and support the voices of the people in the organisation that are leading positive change and inspiring others. This makes a real difference.Unlike the tokenism()I still come across,which results in individuals being made the lone representative for a group without real support from the organisation. Things came full circle for me when I interviewed Ms.Inafidon for my book in 2019.I was able to tell her of the incredible impact her passion and confidence had had on me as a graduate trainee and how grateful I would always be for that. 24.What do we learn about Marie Inafidon? A.She was a trainee at Deutsche Bank. B.She became successful at 21. C.She helped the author with her external project personally D.She encouraged girls to take up STEM-related work. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 25459B 25.Who can benefit most from role models in the workplace according to Paragraph 3? A.A graduate eager to succeed. B.Experienced professionals. C.The young from an under-represented group. D.People without special abilities. 26.What is effective in changing girls'mindset? A.Reading more made-up success stories. B.Taking on challenging projects. C.Listening to women role models share their experiences. D.Starting their own business as early as possible. 27.What should businesses firstly do to increase racial diversity in the workplace? A.Make more coloured people authorities. B.Encourage positive opinions. C.Understand the true meaning of tokenism. D.Include more people of different races. C Extremely authentic-looking prosthetic()eyes can now be 3D-printed in a fraction of the time it would normally take to produce the eyes by hand,scientists demonstrate in a new study. The new technology can create a prosthetic eye in just 90 minutes,compared with the eight hours it would normally take a skilled technician,or ocularist,to produce one by hand. The 3D-printed eyes require five times less labour to make than traditional methods,the scientists behind the technology wrote in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications. The 3D-printed eyes also look more natural than traditional prostheses;this could help improve a patient's self-confidence in using the devices."Patients are very conscious about wearing a prosthesis,and they don t want others to notice,"Johann Reinhard,lead study author and a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Germany,told us."With these more realistic eyes,it might help them to participate more in society,”he said.. The new printing approach involves taking a specialized image of a patient's empty eye socket()and of their healthy eye.These images are then processed and used to draft blueprints that can be sent to be 3D-printed in the lab.These 3D-printed eyes closely replicate the colour,size and structure of the patient's healthy eye and are particularly good at capturing the coloured part of the eye,known as the iris,and the white part of the eye,called the sclera.Once finished,the eyes take 15 to 30 minutes to be installed by an ocularist, Reinhard said. "About 80%of adults in need of prosthetic eyes could theoretically have one made this way,either due to a birth defect that causes an eye to be small or missing or because they've lost an eye,"the team said."However this wouldn't be possible for all patients,such as those who have a very complex eye socket,as the software wouldn't be able to find a matching shape for the prosthetic eye,"Reinhard said. "More data are needed to see if this technique could also be used to make prosthetic eyes for children,which would require more regulation,"Reinhard said. 28.Which of the following can best describe the 3D-printed eyes? A.Time-consuming. B.Eco-friendly. C.Realistic-looking. D.Fit-of-all. 29.How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A.By giving examples. B.By justifying an idea. C By making a comparison. D.By providing evidence 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 25459B 30.What can we know about a 3D-printed eye? A.Every adult in need of a prosthetic eye can't possibly have one. B.The patients prefer to show off their prosthetic eyes. C.The installment of one is 5 times faster than a traditional prosthetic eye. D.It normally takes a skilled technician,or ocularist,to produce one. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.3D Printing-a Promising Technology B.3D-printed Eyes-a Better Alternative C.Prosthetic Eyes-the Hope for all Blind People D.3D-printed Eyes-a Source of Confidence D One bird may not make a summer but seeing or hearing birds does improve mental wellbeing,a ground-breaking study in the journal Scientific Reports has found. Researchers tracked 1,292 participants'everyday encounters with birds last year via a smartphone app called Urban Mind.Over the course of two weeks,the participants,from the UK,Europe,the US,China and Australia,were asked every two hours to document how they were feeling,including whether they were happy or stressed. The researchers found that participants'average mental wellbeing scores increased when they saw or heard birds,including among those who said they had been diagnosed()with depression. Andrea Mechelli,professor of early intervention()in mental health at King s College London,said that the positive effect of bird encounters on people with depression was significant because many "interventions that help so-called healthy people'don t work for individuals with mental health issues".Mechelli said,"We know exercise makes everyone feel better.But it's so challenging to motivate someone with depression to exercise,while contact with bird life is something that,perhaps,is feasible." Adrian Thomas,the author of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Gutde to Birdsong,said the report's findings came as no surprise as most people described their reaction to birdsong as joy.He added,"Birdsong would have once been the natural soundtrack to all human lives,and I do think that it is rooted somewhere deep within us.It is related with spring and good times coming,which is just one of the reasons why we need to appreciate the role of birds in our life and ensure that nature. 32.What were the participants asked to do? A.Keep record of moods. B.Keep track of birds. C.Analyze feeling changes. D.Report health issues. 33.What does the underline word "feasible"mean in Paragraph 4? A.Inspiring. B.Practicable. C.Ineffective. D.Measurable. 34.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.A reasonable doubt to the research question. B.Potential application of the research results. C.A further explanation of the research findings. D.Detailed descriptions of the research process. 35.Which of the following may the research contribute to? A.Stress relief methods. B.Bird watching activity. C.Mental health treatment. D.Bird protection campaign. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 25159H 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.Many teens in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them popular.36 Here are some of them. With electronic products becoming more popular,it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves.Kids used to hang out around the town;now they just sit at home.37 In this case,they'll learn how to interact and work as a team-something they'll find useful later in life. 38 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape.What s more,these days,it is becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them.A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games.You can also help them practise,and help with the team fund-raising.These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them. You may think your teens aren't good enough to make their school team.39 There are plenty of other places besides the school to play team sports.You can also check other "for-fun clubs".You could look into sports that you may not have thought of.If you do a little research,you are sure to find something your teens will enjoy. Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house,get moving,make friends, and even get a scholarship to college.40 A.Take it easy. B.Sports help address teens'overweight. C.In my view,it is a waste of time and energy. D.So why not talk to them about getting into sports today? E.However,there are other benefits your teens don't realize. F How can we develop a hobby of doing sports from now on?

One rainy day,when Julia and I were heading towards home,I caught sight of an old lady wearing an orange jacket with a huge bag and a walking stick.Out of curiosity,I asked Julia, “Who is she？What is she doing with that huge bag?” Julia caught a glimpse()at her,then told me,"She is called Melinda.She has been collecting garbage()with that huge garbage bag in the town for several years.Nobody knows why she's been doing it.Maybe just for fun."Hearing her words,I couldn't help calling out,"Wow!It's so strange!Why does she find it funny to collect garbage?" Since that day,I had come across her for many times on my way home.She always carried the huge garbage bag whether it was rainy or sunny.Gradually,I didn't find her strange for collecting garbage.Instead,I began to greet her with a smile. Two years later,I was admitted to Chicago University.To my disappointment,I often saw garbage on the lawn on campus."Why should people litter everywhere?Who is responsible for the garbage?"A few days later,it occurred to me that,since nobody took responsibility for it,why not collect garbage myself?That way,I could walk past the lawn without feeling sorry. Then,I took action.I always took a garbage bag and collect garbage on the lawn every time I walked past it.A few students also followed suit soon afterwards,keeping the school cleaner and prettier than before. One day,an idea popped into my head when I finished collecting garbage-maybe we could help make the city cleaner and prettier too!Despite the thought that collecting garbage in front of so many people outside school was awkward,I knew it was the right thing to do. So I decided to give it a go. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day,I was collecting garbage outside the school. Then I realized that I should encourage more students to take part. 【高二英语第8页（共8页）】 25459B
