Walking over to the young offender,I asked for the note.31,she refused to give it to me.I waited,all attention in the classroom on the quiet32 between teacher and student.When she finally33it over,she whispered,"Okay,but I didn't draw it." It was a hand-drawn 34 of me,teeth blackened and the words"I'm stupid"coming out of my mouth.I managed to fold it up calmly.My mind,however,was working35as I struggled not to cry.I figured I knew the two most likely 36for drawing the picture.It would do them some37to teach them a lesson,and maybe it was high time that I did it! Thankfully,I was able to keep myself38.When there were about six minutes remaining,I showed the class the picture.They were all silent as I told them how39 this was for me.I told them there must be a 40reason and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me.Then I let them write silently while I sniffled in the back of the classroom. As I 41 the notes later,many of them said something like,"I've got nothing against you,”or“T'm sorry you were hurt,.”Some kids said,“We're_42_of you..”But two notes, from the girls who I 43 were behind the picture,had a list of issues.I was too 44 too strict....Reading those notes,I realized that over the course of this year,instead of 45 my students,I had begun commanding them to 46.Where I thought I was driving them to success,I was 47 driving them away. I had some apologizing to do.When the kids walked into the classroom the next day, one boy and one girl each handed me a card.The one 48by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke.The one from the girls asked for 49 This was a 50for both the kids and me.Forgiveness does not change the past,but it does enlarge the future 31.A.Shocked B.Delighted C.Frozen D.Interested 32.A.battle B.barrier C.conference D.confusion 33.A.took B.thought C.turned D.handed 34.A.statue B.portrait C.sculpture D.poster 35.A.curiously B.angrily C.cautiously D.chilly 36.A.contestants B.applicants C.candidates D.sponsors 37.A.good B.harm C.favor D.wrong 38.A.affected B.relieved C.charged D.controlled 39.A.grateful B.hurtful C.regretful D.helpful 40.A.forgotten B.chosen C.hidden D.broken 41.A.looked through B.saw through C.got through D.put through 42.A.proud B.aware C.afraid D.ashamed 43.A.figured B.clarified C.convinced D.confirmed 44.A.agreeable B.mean C.straightforward D.considerate 45.A.forcing B.teaching C.comforting D.encouraging 46.A.appreciate B.accumulate C.compromise D.accomplish 47.A.actually B.normally C.immediately D.generally 48.A.posted B.renewed C.signed D.registered 49.A.thankfulness B.forgiveness C.compensation D.communication 50.A.history B.motto C.pattern D.lesson 天津一中20242025-2高二年级英语学科模块质量调查试卷第3页共7页 V阅读理解（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Shipping containers,currently experiencing a major shortage,have a life of 10 to 15 years when used to transport goods across oceans.So what happens to these massive and durable structures after that?Often they're recycled into low-cost storage---other times they simply sit in ports around the world.Now,architects are finding new and improved ways to unlock their low-cost and sustainable development potential. Sustainable Support System On land that was meant to become a jail,instead stands a 60,500 square-foot housing facility supporting unhoused people.The Care First Village holds 232 units,as well as a common building with laundry facilities,dining areas and a dog park. Performing Art Cart The concept of the microtheater first began in Madrid,where audiences gathered to watch short performances in different rooms of an old hotel.In 2021,Microtheater first appeared,hosting short plays in shipping containers.Step inside and watch one or all of the original 15-minute shows. Eco-Friendly Attraction This is not your typical cafe.Its design,inspired by coffee trees,features 29 shipping containers piled in a manner to look like branches.While a shipping container doesn't typically evoke the idea of "natural light,"skylight windows are strategically placed throughout the structure. Green Arena(竞技场) Located on the Gulf shoreline,Stadium 974 is a 40,000-capacity arena created from 974 shipping containers.The first temporary stadium in World Cup history,it will host FIFA World Cup matches this year---and then its components will be shipped to countries in need around the world for repurposing. Mach 1 "Every single thing you buy in the world has been transported in these things,"artist David Mach says of his fascination with shipping containers.While still in the design stages, his sculpture will soon have a home in Edinburgh Park,with a coffee bar and exhibition space available to visitors inside. 51.Why might architects be interested in using shipping containers for construction? A.They are not expensive but long-lasting. B.They are perfectly fit for temporary structures. C.They offer a creative and cost-effective building material. D.They are more durable than traditional concrete buildings 52.How does the concept of Stadium 974 differ from other projects mentioned in the passage? 天津一中2024-2025-2高二年级英语学科模块质量调查试卷第4页共7页 A.It is designed as an'artistic landmark in a public space.

B Frances Amold has always been a rebel.Her willingness to question authority and make her own way helped her earn the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her pioneering work in "directed evolution of enzymes ()"Getting there,though,required Arnold to refine her innovative effort in a process that took decades. Arnold,64,grew up in a conservative family in a suburb of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.At the age of 15,she left home to seek an independent life.She found her own apartment in the city and worked a number of jobs to get by---while still attending high school. The experience taught her valuable life lessons."I'm not a follower,"she says."I had to do my thing in my own way and often it was the hard way." Arnold was eventually reconciled with her family.She applied to the Mechanical Engineering Department at Princeton University,her dad's alma mater().After graduating in 1979,she briefly took up jobs in solar technology before realizing it was not where her passion lay.Her determination to make a difference,however,remained unchanged.She went back to school to earn advanced degrees in chemical engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. When she completed her postdoctoral(博士后的)work there in 1986,Arnold joined the faculty at Caltech(加州理工学院)and has since been working there in the fields of chemical engineering,bioengineering and biochemistry. In terms ot research potential,her timing was perfect.The world of DNA was just opening up.Gene splicing(基因剪接)technology was new. "We were hoping to make the code of life work for us,"Arnold recalls.At the time it was a complicated,laborious process that required knowing which changes in the DNA would lead to whatever traits()the researchers wanted to change.To make a useful medicine for instance,the responsible gene had to be modified(). Never one to follow the crowd,she thought she had a better idea---use evolution, because DNA was "composed by evolution over the millennia".Her vision was to speed it up and make it work for us. "Humans have been creating new forms of life by artificial selection for thousands of years,"she says."From corn to hairless cats,we've been modifying DNA to serve us by choosing who goes on to parent the next generation."She decided to breed proteins that had the traits she was interested in.And as it turned out,proteins were able to adapt quickly to new demands that were being placed upon them. "To me,directed evolution seemed obvious,"she recalls.This was not true for everyone. "I got a lot of pushback.People were telling me the only proper way was to sit down and design genes.Despite the pressure,Amold persevered.In part,it was her determination and courage.But she doesn't claim credit for herself."Anything I do is small.But I amplify() that by sharing ideas with other people,"she says."They gave me the Nobel Prize really because my ideas were magnified by so many other people." 54.According to the article,which of the following statements about Frances Arnold is true? A.She never listened to anything her parents said. B.She applied to study engineering at her father's request. C.She didn't know early on that her interest was in studying DNA. D.She had to take several part-time jobs to put herself through college 55.We can tell from the context that "Amold was eventually reconciled with her family."in Paragraph 4 probably means A.she and her family got back in touch B she chose not to trust her family in the end C.she refused to live with her family D.she was no longer in conflict with her family 56.According to the article,what is the secret of Frances Amold's success? A.Her optimistic attitude toward life. B.Her natural curiosity about everything. C Her willingness and courage to take an unusual path. D.Her passion for making a difference in the scientific world. 天津一中20242025-2高二年级英语学科模块质量调查试卷第5页共7页 57.According to the article,which of the following descriptions DOES NOT fit Frances Arold? A.Creative and capable. B.Generous and considerate. C.Adventurous and pioneering. D.Straightforward and stubborn. C Many economists have offered theories about how financial crises develop and how they could be prevented.There is no consensus,however,and financial crises continue to occur from time to time.And now,from bankers to factory staff,employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global depression starts to bite.For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut. Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times,which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports.The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff,but build up a more loyal and devoted group. "In the Confucian mindset,the right thing to do is to share the burden,which is the sense of collective responsibility.While in the West,it's more about individual survival,"said Michael Benoliel,associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU). In contrast,local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousand,but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups,job cuts will probably be less severe. Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September,up from 3.8 percent in January,while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent.But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January. Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West,the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad. 58.The underlined word"prospect"in the first paragraph most probably means A.weather B.scene C.place D.possibility 59.Compared with job cuts,pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that
