Godfrey was extremely annoyed.He wanted to do what he thought was his duty.And adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past."But,Eppie,you must agree,"he cried."You are my daughter!Silas Marner,you know,Eppie's mother was my wife and she is my own child." Eppie's face went white.Silas,who had been relieved by hearing Eppie's answer to Godfrey,now answered bitterly,"Then,sir,why didn't you confess this sixteen years ago, before I began to love her?Why do you come to take her away now,when it's like taking the heart out of my body?God gave her to me because you abandoned her!And He considers her mine!" "I think,Marner,"he said firmly,"that you should consider what's best for Eppie.You shouldn't stand in her way when she could have a better life." Silas was silent for a moment.He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right,and that it was selfish of him to keep Eppie.At last he brought out the difficult words."All right.Speak to the child.I won't prevent her from going." Godfrey and his wife were relieved to hear this,and thought Eppie would now agree. "Eppie,my dear,"said Godfrey,"although I haven't been a good father to you so far,I want to do my best for you now." But Eppie did not come forward this time.She stood by Silas's side,holding his hand in hers,and spoke almost coldly."Thank you for your kind offer.But I wouldn't be happy if I left father.He'd have nobody if I weren't here.Nobody shall ever come between him and me!" "But you must make sure,Eppie,"said Silas worriedly,"that you won't be sorry,if you decide to stay with poor people.You could have a much better life." "I'll never be sorry,"said Eppie firmly."I don't want to be rich,if I can't live with the people I know and love." 24.Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back? A.To please his present wife. B.To repair his public reputation. C.To ease his sense of guilt. D.To make things easier for Silas. 25.How did Silas feel according to paragraph 3? A.Annoyed. B.Relieved. C.Surprised.

Q Each year,an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica,and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow,according to a new study published in Nature Communications. The culprit is black carbon,created when fossil (fuels and biomass are burnt.Black carbon settles on the snow,causing it to darken in colour.This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. Due to its remoteness,Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution compared to other parts of the world.However,the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape. The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula.The researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula. The study estimates that,in heavily impacted areas,black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year.Altogether,an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone-translating to 83 tonnes per visitor.Although these figures are striking,the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest. "It is likely that local emissions (account for most of the black carbon content in samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,"the paper states. Ships,aero planes,helicopters,generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon that can settle on snow.The study authors suggest that tourist cruises()and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution in the study area.That's despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism,such as switching to marine diesel(船用柴油)or deep cycle battery power.. "Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica,"the authors write. 28.What does the underlined word "culprit"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Main cause.B.Harmful gas. C.Useful energy. D.Unexpected result. 29.How is black carbon produced in Antarctica? A.From winds blowing in foreign dust. B.From volcanic activities under the ice. C.From natural changes in temperature. D.From fuel use in tourism and research. 30.What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply? A.They exactly show each visitor's carbon footprint. B.The impact of human activity may be underestimated. C.They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned. D.The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem. 31.What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica? A.They still show limited effect. B.They paint a rosy picture. C.They are a drop in the bucket. D.They boost Antarctica tourism. D Alongside the crisps in the snack aisle,supermarkets are now stacking shelves with 1 roasted chickpeas,cheese bites,and beef jerky.An array of high-protein alternatives is appearing alongside low-fat and low-sugar foods.Dairy sections are packed with hard-to-pronounce fare such as skyr and kefir.High-protein diets have become mainstream. On social media,food and fitness influencers recommend protein.Celebrities have made it trendy to look strong,rather than skinny.A trend is close to an obsession.Google searches for "high-protein diet"reached their highest point ever in January.Some 64%of Americans want to increase the amount of protein they eat.In Britain,Ocado,an online supermarket,figures over 40%of consumers have increased their protein intake over the past year.So what explains the constant appetite? Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades.More recently the less strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while feeling fuller for longer. Juergen Esser at Danone,a French dairy giant,says hunger for protein first took off among youngsters who want to look muscular.It soon spread to older people eager to stay strong and healthy.The pandemic got people worrying about their health and increased demand. High-protein products are helping firms expand.Revenues at Danone increased by 4.3% in 2024,driven by high-protein yoghurts and drinks.The question is whether the trend has gone too far.The World Health Organisation recommends 0.83 grams a day per kilogram of body weight.By that measure,the average American or Briton consumes too much. For food firms already,struggling to meet multiple requirements,it is yet another challenge.Consumers do not only want more protein and less ultra-processing,but also more plant-based food and anything good for the gut ()The Curators,a British snackmaker,has a balancing act to perform.When the firm began making soya and lentil chips,it settled on ten grams of protein per bag.Recipes with more were not as tasty.And as food crazes come and go, a pleasant flavour may be the most enduring requirement of all. 32.What can we learn about high-protein diets? A.High-protein foods on supermarket shelves are always low in fat and sugar. B.Their popularity was largely driven by social media and celebrity influence. C.The majority of Google users are obsessed with adopting high-protein diets. D.The consumption of high-protein diets in America is higher than that in Britain. 33.How does the author develop the idea in Paragraph 3? 6 A.By presenting a series of statistical data. B.By tracing the spread of the trend over time. C.By analyzing the benefits through expert opinions. D.By comparing the attitudes across different groups. 34.What is the main challenge food companies face in the high-protein market? A.Ensuring that high-protein products satisfy nutritional guidelines. B.Reducing the costs of protein-rich products to remain competitive. C.Balancing the dietary preferences and health concerns of consumers. D.Convincing consumers that high-protein diets are universally healthy. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Fueling the Future:The Science Behind the Protein Obsession B.Protein Revolution:Whether Modern Diets Have Gone Too Far C.The Rise of Protein:How Demand Reshaped Consumer Behavior D.from Gym to Shelves:A Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 No matter how scheduled your life may be,there's always that feeling of never having enough time at home.Life goes by too quickly.36Could we slow down and enjoy a simpler,freer,and happier home life?Absolutely!Here are several ways to create a "culture of slow”in your home. Identify your reasons to rush. Begin observing your patterns of rushing.When do you usually tend to rush?Maybe it's when you're about to leave the house,or maybe it's in a time-pressured situation.Then,slow down by using an inner reminder like "The hurry only hurts",really observe the situation,and breathe.Identify what's most important to you during that moment.37 Practice digital minimalism. 38Technology is most likely to take our attention away from what we are doing in our homes.Creating a "culture of slow"means concentrating your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that support what you value.And then being okay with missing out on everything else. ●Take more walks. Nature moves at a slow pace,and the more you spend time in the outdoors,the more your pace also slows.39It also provides opportunities to slow your thoughts and refocus them on what matters.For a healthier lifestyle,take more walks. Practice one rest day a week. Choose one day a week for rest and leisure.Consider it a"do-nothing day",where work is set aside and relationships are renewed.40Maybe you take a family hike,cook together,or enjoy a cozy reading session on the sofa.Rest days,when taken seriously,dramatically slow the pace of life A.Make time and space to just be together. B.Schedule your outdoor activities properly. C.Every day can feel like rush hour on repeat. D.Use that as motivation to move more slowly. E.Simple,slow living is basically a matter of focus. F.Being outside has a unique power to reset the mind. G.Take this a step further by practicing mindfulness. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 African sun shone brightly overhead as we drove along.I was in Malawi on my way to see the new41,funded in part by our money-raising efforts.

The day started nice enough.I went to work,got off at five and decided to head to the beach.It was sweltering hot,and I knew the cool waters of Lake Michigan would help wash away my sweat.The first sign of trouble was when my cellphone navigation stopped working properly and showed the wrong directions.I was new to the area and didn't quite know my way around yet,so I ended up taking a wrong turn and driving through a web of neighborhoods, turning a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute one. But fine,I get lost often.I made it to the beach eventually.Took a quick dip in the water, had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier.I made it back to my car,pulling some clothes out to change into.As I headed to the restroom,I realized I had forgotten a shirt.So I walked back,tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the passenger seat of my car. I called AAA(American Automobile Association).As it turns out,I don't have an AAA membership.I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their card,while my phone battery was at 21%and dropping. I called AAA again,and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a half,which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car.The sun was lowering in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out.I heard thunder,and I saw people exiting the beach at an increasing rate.When I checked my weather app,I saw an alarming update:a heat advisory )a 100%chance of a lightning storm,and a tornado warning. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 102024-2025学年度（下）沈阳市五校协作体期末考试 高二年级英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150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。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.What does the woman ask the boy to do?

"But you must make sure,Eppie,"said Silas worriedly,"that you won't be sorry,if you decide to stay with poor people.You could have a much better life." "I'll never be sorry,"said Eppie firmly."I don't want to be rich,if I can't live with the people I know and love." 24.Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back? A.To please his present wife.

C Each year,an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica,and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow,according to a new study published in Nature Communications. The culprit is black carbon,created when fossil (fuels and biomass are burnt.Black carbon settles on the snow,causing it to darken in colour.This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. Due to its remoteness,Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution compared to other parts of the world.However,the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape. The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula.The researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula. The study estimates that,in heavily impacted areas,black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year.Altogether,an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone-translating to 83 tonnes per visitor.Although these figures are striking,the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest. "It is likely that local emissions account for most of the black carbon content in samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,"the paper states. Ships,aero planes,helicopters,generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon that can settle on snow.The study authors suggest that tourist cruises()and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution in the study area.That's despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism,such as switching to marine diesel(船用柴油)or deep cycle battery power. "Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica,"the authors write. 28.What does the underlined word "culprit"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Main cause.B.Harmful gas.C.Useful energy. D.Unexpected result. 29.How is black carbon produced in Antarctica? A.From winds blowing in foreign dust. B.From volcanic activities under the ice. C.From natural changes in temperature. D.From fuel use in tourism and research. 30.What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply? A.They exactly show each visitor's carbon footprint. B.The impact of human activity may be underestimated. C.They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned. D.The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem. 31.What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica? A.They still show limited effect. B.They paint a rosy picture. C.They are a drop in the bucket. D.They boost Antarctica tourism. Alongside the crisps in the snack aisle,supermarkets are now stacking shelves with 1 roasted chickpeas,cheese bites,and beef jerky.An array of high-protein alternatives is appearing alongside low-fat and low-sugar foods.Dairy sections are packed with hard-to-pronounce fare such as skyr and kefir.High-protein diets have become mainstream. On social media,food and fitness influencers recommend protein.Celebrities have made it trendy to look strong,rather than skinny.A trend is close to an obsession.Google searches for "high-protein diet"reached their highest point ever in January.Some 64%of Americans want to increase the amount of protein they eat.In Britain,Ocado,an online supermarket,figures over 40%of consumers have increased their protein intake over the past year.So what explains the constant appetite? Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades.More recently the less strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while feeling fuller for longer. Juergen Esser at Danone,a French dairy giant,says hunger for protein first took off among youngsters who want to look muscular.It soon spread to older people eager to stay strong and 3 healthy.The pandemic got people worrying about their health and increased demand. High-protein products are helping firms expand.Revenues at Danone increased by 4.3% in 2024,driven by high-protein yoghurts and drinks.The question is whether the trend has gone too far.The World Health Organisation recommends 0.83 grams a day per kilogram of body weight.By that measure,the average American or Briton consumes too much. For food firms already,struggling to meet multiple requirements,it is yet another challenge.Consumers do not only want more protein and less ultra-processing,but also more plant-based food and anything good for the gut ()The Curators,a British snackmaker,has a balancing act to perform.When the firm began making soya and lentil chips,it settled on ten grams of protein per bag.Recipes with more were not as tasty.And as food crazes come and go, a pleasant flavour may be the most enduring requirement of all. 32.What can we learn about high-protein diets? A.High-protein foods on supermarket shelves are always low in fat and sugar. B.Their popularity was largely driven by social media and celebrity influence. C.The majority of Google users are obsessed with adopting high-protein diets. D.The consumption of high-protein diets in America is higher than that in Britain. 33.How does the author develop the idea in Paragraph 3? 6 A.By presenting a series of statistical data. B.By tracing the spread of the trend over time. C.By analyzing the benefits through expert opinions. D.By comparing the attitudes across different groups. 34.What is the main challenge food companies face in the high-protein market? A.Ensuring that high-protein products satisfy nutritional guidelines. B.Reducing the costs of protein-rich products to remain competitive. C.Balancing the dietary preferences and health concerns of consumers. D.Convincing consumers that high-protein diets are universally healthy. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Fueling the Future:The Science Behind the Protein Obsession B.Protein Revolution:Whether Modern Diets Have Gone Too Far C.The Rise of Protein:How Demand Reshaped Consumer Behavior D.from Gym to Shelves:A Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 No matter how scheduled your life may be,there's always that feeling of never having enough time at home.Life goes by too quickly.36 Could we slow down and enjoy a simpler,freer,and happier home life?Absolutely!Here are several ways to create a "culture of slow”in your home.

But fine,I get lost often.I made it to the beach eventually.Took a quick dip in the water, had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier.I made it back to my car,pulling some clothes out to change into.As I headed to the restroom,I realized I had forgotten a shirt.So I walked back,tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the passenger seat of my car. I called AAA(American Automobile Association).As it turns out,I don't have an AAA membership.I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their card,while my phone battery was at 21%and dropping. I called AAA again,and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a half,which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car.The sun was lowering in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out.I heard thunder,and I saw people exiting the beach at an increasing rate.When I checked my weather app,I saw an alarming update:a heat advisory ()a 100%chance of a lightning storm,and a tornado warning 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 10
