Whether you’ve been a fan of his work since Edward Scissor-hands or Batman, there’s something for you at this exhibition, which is making its last stop here in London after a decade-long tour.(一场让影迷们一窥著名导演蒂姆·波顿内心世界的展览在伦敦举行。无论你是自《剪刀手爱德华》或《蝙蝠侠》以来就一直是他作品的粉丝，这次展览都是为你准备的，这是伦敦为期十年的巡回展览的最后一站)”可知，对于《剪刀手爱德华》的粉丝来说，这个展览可能会引起他们的兴趣。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Francis Bacon: Human Presence, National Portrait Gallery中的“This exhibition features over 50 paintings that span from the late 1940s until his death in 1992.(此次展览展出了从20世纪40年代末到1992年去世的50多幅画作)”和Drawing The Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴), The King’s Gallery中的“This exhibition brings you face-to-face with the genius of Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and beyond.(本次展览将带您与达芬奇、米开朗基罗等天才面对面)”可知，这两个展览都以绘画作品为特色，因此它们的共同点是都展出了绘画领域的杰作。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve rounded up the biggest (and best) art exhibitions to visit in London. Happy wandering!(我们收集了伦敦最大（也是最好）的艺术展览。快乐漫步！)”和整篇文章的内容，这篇文章提供了伦敦不同艺术展览的信息，包括展览名称、地点、日期和票价等，这些信息对于计划参观展览的人来说非常有用。文章的风格和内容更符合一个提供旅行和活动信息的网站，而不是博物馆指南、历史教科书或时尚杂志。因此，这篇文章最有可能出现在一个旅行网站上。故选D。 B In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift . On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 4. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful. C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging. 5. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A. He wanted to focus on his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow. C. He attempted to behave like an adult. D. He was faced with increasing pressure. 6. What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A. More fun in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild. C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B. Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. (那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我很高兴，它冻结了那些珍贵的时刻，温柔地鼓励了我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，对于作者小时候拍照这件事，作者觉得这是令人兴奋且值得的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. (这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。)”可知，作者面临的压力越来越大，这使得作者停止了拍照。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. (即使一天很满很忙，我也能抓住一些时间给自己拍照，观察周围的世界。)”和第四段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。所以D项“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography (通过摄影重新获得乐趣)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 C If you ever wondered what your child’s drawings might reveal, keep on reading. Imagine how you would feel when looking at Earth from outer space. That feeling of awe is what we call the Overview Effect, a feeling most astronauts report when they return to Earth, described as a transformative experience that changes their view of our planet and humanity — an experience that builds a sense of unity, interconnectedness, and responsibility for Earth’s well-being. Recently, 40,000 children experienced a virtual reality (VR) space journey, becoming a unique group to have a chance to undergo this awesome feeling without leaving Earth. To find out whether they had experienced the Overview Effect, we asked 100 children from this special group to draw self-images before and after the VR journey. In previous studies on adults, we found that after viewing a video to bring about the Overview Effect, participants tended to draw a smaller self. Apparently, going through the experience of awe and wonder makes one feel smaller, with a smaller drawing as the result. However, when we applied this method to children, we encountered unexpected results. The size of their drawings remained unchanged after the VR experience. This discrepancy led us to question: Were drawings by children simply not a good way to measure the Overview Effect? Did what worked for adults simply not work for children? Upon closer analysis, we discovered that the key to measuring transformative experiences in children lies mot in the size of their drawings but in the richness of their content. Before the VR journey, the children’s drawings were simple, often showing familiar elements from their daily lives. After the journey, their drawings became far more insightful, filled with vivid descriptions indicative of what they had learned during the VR journey — for example, the Earth’s ecology. This discovery gave us a new way to understand children’s responses to transformative experiences. I’m not proposing that we replace tests in schools with children’s drawings. But when it comes to transformative experiences, I’d recommend paying more attention to what children actually draw. 8. How can we describe the Overview Effect? A. It expresses man’s view of Earth and humanity. B. It helps people get deeper insights into the world. C. It brings about awesome feelings of the outer space. D. It is a transformative experience unique to astronauts. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” mean in paragraph 3? A. Problem. B. Progress. C. Doubt. D. Difference. 10. How did the children’s drawings change after the VR journey? A. The self-images became larger. B. They described more details. C. There were more familiar elements. D. They expressed richer emotions. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest a way of measuring children’s learning. B. To compare adults’ and children’s Overview Effect. C. To analyse the role of VR technology in child education. D. To describe the psychological experience of space travels. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是衡量儿童变革性体验的关键在于画作内容的深度和洞察力，而非画像大小。因此，作者建议在进行变革性体验时，应更多关注儿童实际画作的内容。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“That feeling of awe is what we call the Overview Effect, a feeling most astronauts report when they return to Earth, described as a transformative experience that changes their view of our planet and humanity-an experience that builds a sense of unity, interconnectedness, and responsibility for Earth’s well-being.(这种敬畏的感觉就是我们所说的“概览效应”，大多数宇航员在返回地球后都会有这种感觉，这种感觉被描述为一种改变他们对我们的星球和人类的看法的变革性体验——这种体验建立了一种团结、相互联系和对地球福祉的责任感)”可知，概览效应帮助人们更深入地了解世界。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In previous studies on adults, we found that after viewing a video to bring about the Overview Effect, participants tended to draw a smaller self.(在之前对成年人的研究中，我们发现，在观看了一段视频后，参与者倾向于画一个更小的自己)”和“However, when we applied this method to children, we encountered unexpected results. The size of their drawings remained unchanged after the VR experience.(然而，当我们将这种方法应用到孩子身上时，却得到了意想不到的结果。VR体验后，他们画作的大小并没有变化)”可知，成年人画的和孩子画的存在差异，discrepancy意为“差异”，和Difference意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After the journey, their drawings became far more insightful, filled with vivid descriptions indicative of what they had learned during the VR journey - for example, the Earth’s ecology.(旅程结束后，他们的画变得更有洞察力，充满了生动的描述，表明他们在VR旅程中学到了什么——例如，地球生态)”可知，在VR之旅之后，孩子们的画描述了更多细节。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m not proposing that we replace tests in schools with children’s drawings. But when it comes to transformative experiences, I’d recommend paying more attention to what children actually draw.(我并不是建议我们用孩子们的绘画来取代学校的考试。但当涉及到变革性的经历时，我建议更多地关注孩子们实际画的是什么)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提出一种衡量儿童学习能力的方法。故选A。 D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 12. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity. C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures. C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties. 14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. B. They are better than naturally grown plants. C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 15. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍麻省理工学院的研究人员为了减少树木损失而进行的一项研究。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees.

These robotics, ___37___ were designed specially for this show by Unitree, a Chinese company, spun (旋转) handkerchiefs instantly and formed creative group patterns.

The robots learned dance moves through AI to move ___39___ (safe) on the uneven stage. Their strong joints helped to balance ___40___ (they) perfectly during fast steps.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side . On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .” 【解析】 【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。 2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 选择：choose/make a choice/make an option 增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence 解决：solve/work out/tackle 情绪类： 充满信心：be confident/be full of confidence 高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight 感到困惑：be at a loss/be confused/be confounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 内江六中2024-2025学年（下）高2027届半期考试 英语学科试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生在答题卡上务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚。请认真核准准考证号、姓名和科目。 2．每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，在试题卷上作答无效。 第I卷（选择题 共95分） 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．Why is the man late?

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 4. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy? A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful. C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging. 5. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A. He wanted to focus on his work. B. He was struck by sudden sorrow. C. He attempted to behave like an adult. D. He was faced with increasing pressure. 6. What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A. More fun in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild. C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories B. Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography C If you ever wondered what your child’s drawings might reveal, keep on reading. Imagine how you would feel when looking at Earth from outer space. That feeling of awe is what we call the Overview Effect, a feeling most astronauts report when they return to Earth, described as a transformative experience that changes their view of our planet and humanity — an experience that builds a sense of unity, interconnectedness, and responsibility for Earth’s well-being. Recently, 40,000 children experienced a virtual reality (VR) space journey, becoming a unique group to have a chance to undergo this awesome feeling without leaving Earth. To find out whether they had experienced the Overview Effect, we asked 100 children from this special group to draw self-images before and after the VR journey. In previous studies on adults, we found that after viewing a video to bring about the Overview Effect, participants tended to draw a smaller self. Apparently, going through the experience of awe and wonder makes one feel smaller, with a smaller drawing as the result. However, when we applied this method to children, we encountered unexpected results. The size of their drawings remained unchanged after the VR experience. This discrepancy led us to question: Were drawings by children simply not a good way to measure the Overview Effect? Did what worked for adults simply not work for children? Upon closer analysis, we discovered that the key to measuring transformative experiences in children lies mot in the size of their drawings but in the richness of their content. Before the VR journey, the children’s drawings were simple, often showing familiar elements from their daily lives. After the journey, their drawings became far more insightful, filled with vivid descriptions indicative of what they had learned during the VR journey — for example, the Earth’s ecology. This discovery gave us a new way to understand children’s responses to transformative experiences. I’m not proposing that we replace tests in schools with children’s drawings. But when it comes to transformative experiences, I’d recommend paying more attention to what children actually draw. 8. How can we describe the Overview Effect? A. It expresses man’s view of Earth and humanity. B. It helps people get deeper insights into the world. C. It brings about awesome feelings of the outer space. D. It is a transformative experience unique to astronauts. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” mean in paragraph 3? A. Problem. B. Progress. C. Doubt. D. Difference. 10. How did the children’s drawings change after the VR journey? A. The self-images became larger. B. They described more details. C. There were more familiar elements. D. They expressed richer emotions. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest a way of measuring children’s learning. B. To compare adults’ and children’s Overview Effect. C. To analyse the role of VR technology in child education. D. To describe the psychological experience of space travels. D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 12. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity. C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures. C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties. 14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. B. They are better than naturally grown plants. C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 15. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. 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 Find Your Purpose in Life Many people are living life without knowing what they want out of life.
