But climate change, environmental disasters and wars threaten these modern Noah’s arks. Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon. A biobank in a permanently shadowed region at the moon’s south pole could be far more stable than those on Earth. This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term, marine biologist Mary Hagedorn and colleagues report in BioScience. Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan. A different team has proposed building a lunar ark in lava (熔岩) tubes that run beneath the moon’s surface. But that design requires a solar-powered cooling system; any loss of power and the samples would be destroyed. In the moon’s forever-frozen shadowed regions, a lunar vault wouldn’t need energy or constant human maintenance, Hagedorn’s team says. Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says. The cells could be valuable for regenerating populations of threatened or extinct species and for building ecosystems in future human settlements on the moon or Mars. The proposal has its share of barriers. For instance, the moon’s permanently dark regions aren’t free from temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen of the Johns Hopkins University. “They are still cold but perhaps not always cold enough for this project without some level of temperature management.” 8. Why is the moon an ideal place for the biobank? A. It’s not affected by wars. B. It’s not environmentally polluted. C. It has proper temperatures. D. It has rich resources for research. 9. What led to Hagedorn’s proposal of a lunar biobank? A. The solar-powered cooling system. B. The lava tubes on the moon’s surface. C. The problem facing the Norway Vault. D. The discovery of ice on the lunar pole. 10. What can scientists use fibroblasts to do? A. Form stem cells for cloning. B. Explore moon soil conditions. C. Help land humans on the moon. D. Improve the eco-system of the earth. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lunar Exploration: The Next Frontier for Cloning B. Relieving Climate Change: The Moon Biobank Project C. The Moon as a Backup: A New Solution for Seed Storage D. Building Biobanks on the Moon: A Proposal to Save Biodiversity 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述随着气候变化和人类活动对地球的威胁日益加剧，科学家们提议在月球上建立一个生物库，以保护地球上濒危物种。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term(月球的这一部分通常保持在零下196摄氏度左右，非常适合长期储存大多数动物细胞)”可知，月球温度适宜，是建立生物库的理想之地，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017, melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan.(Hagedorn和他的同事们从挪威的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库获得了灵感，该种子库利用北极零下的温度保存了来自世界各地的数百万颗种子。2017年，融化的冻土有可能淹没了种子库，这凸显了后备计划的必要性)”可知，挪威的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库面临的问题致使Hagedorn提出建立一个月球生物库，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says.(Hagedorn说，鉴于南极阴暗地区低温，那里的一个储藏室可以储存“我们今天拥有的最强大的细胞之一”——成纤维细胞。科学家们可以将这些动物细胞转化为干细胞，“然后这些干细胞可以用于克隆，”她说。)”可知，成纤维细胞可以转化为干细胞用于克隆，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon.(现在，一组研究人员正在集思广益，想出一个天外飞行的解决方案：在月球上建造一个这样的储藏库)”可知，文章主要讲述随着气候变化和人类活动对地球的威胁日益加剧，科学家们提议在月球上建立一个生物库，以保护地球上濒危物种。D项“在月球上建立生物库：拯救生物多样性的建议”为最佳标题，故选D。 D Awe experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or powerful, something that challenges one’s understanding of the world. These are often, but not always, encounters with nature, such as looking over mountains from an airplane, or standing at the foot of an enormous tree. New developmental research suggests the experience of awe is crucial for a child to grow stronger. Historically, awe has featured in psychological accounts of peak experiences. William James spoke extensively about various spiritual moments that intensely moved him and shaped his viewpoint. He felt strongly these peak experiences made for the deeper development of a person’s inner world. Contemporary researchers theorize that awe may have helped our ancestors survive throughout history and continues to impart positive effects today. Previous studies have shown awe can be instrumental to the formation of social groups and can set off helpful social behaviors among adults. But our research shows that perceptions of awe start much earlier in life. Four to nine-year-old children perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences and differentiate them from everyday experiences. When watching fantastic footage of sweeping natural scenes, the children perceived themselves as smaller — a phenomenon known as the “small self”— in comparison with how they felt after watching footage of everyday nature imagery. They further reported being filled with power, believing they were capable of achieving great things. Additionally, they felt a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore more, seeing themselves as adventurers on a journey of discovery. In our busy lives, nevertheless, potential moments of awe often get overlooked. With the pressure to achieve seeping (渗透) into childhood earlier and earlier, it's easy to understand why you, as a parent, might be more focused on getting your children to the next activity or competition. However, as you become more receptive to sources of awe and knowledgeable about its importance during development, you’ll most likely see them obtain considerable advantages when giving awe experiences greater priority. 12. Which aspect of awe experience does the new study highlight? A. Its historical origin. B. Places of its occurrence. C. Its benefits for kids. D. Its impacts on adults’ behavior. 13. What does the underlined word “impart” mean in paragraph 3? A. Restrict. B. Withdraw. C. Generate. D. Transform. 14. How did the children feel when viewing footage of breathtaking scenery? A. Contented. B. Motivated. C. Panicked. D. Confused. 15. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph? A. To appeal to parents for a change. B. To advocate a care-free childhood life. C. To state his point on the fast-paced society. D. To describe a common cultural phenomenon. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了敬畏的经历对孩子成长的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“New developmental research suggests the experience of awe is crucial for a child to grow stronger.(新的发展研究表明，敬畏的经历对孩子的成长至关重要。)”可知，这项新研究强调了敬畏体验对孩子们的好处。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。划线单词前面的部分“Contemporary researchers theorize that awe may have helped our ancestors survive throughout history(当代研究人员推测，敬畏可能帮助我们的祖先在历史上生存下来)”是说敬畏在人类历史上的作用，根据句中的continue to和划线单词后面的positive effects today可知，此处是说敬畏在今天继续产生积极的作用，所以划线单词impart的意义为“产生”，与C项中的generate意义相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“They further reported being filled with power, believing they were capable of achieving great things. Additionally, they felt a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore more, seeing themselves as adventurers on a journey of discovery.(他们还说自己充满了力量，相信自己能够成就大事。此外，他们感到一种好奇心和探索更多的欲望，将自己视为探索之旅的冒险家。)”可知，孩子们在观看令人惊叹的景色时受到了激励。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“In our busy lives, nevertheless, potential moments of awe often get overlooked. With the pressure to achieve seeping (渗透) into childhood earlier and earlier, it's easy to understand why you, as a parent, might be more focused on getting your children to the next activity or competition. However, as you become more receptive to sources of awe and knowledgeable about its importance during development, you’ll most likely see them obtain considerable advantages when giving awe experiences greater priority.(然而，在我们忙碌的生活中，潜在的敬畏时刻往往被忽视。随着压力越来越早地渗透到孩子身上，很容易理解为什么作为父母，你可能会更专注于让你的孩子参加下一个活动或比赛。然而，当你更容易接受敬畏感的来源，并了解其在开发过程中的重要性时，你很可能会发现它们在给予敬畏体验更大的优先权时获得了相当大的优势。)”可知，作者认为现在父母往往忽视孩子的敬畏体验，而文章的主要内容是说敬畏的经历对孩子的成长至关重要。所以作者写文章的目的是呼吁家长做出改变。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to deal with depression can help you live a fuller, more productive life.

Rumor was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes served as a fence between our house and theirs. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of six active girls. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. One day, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve done to our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!” Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red — it was her eyes. 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。 Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will fix them and help weed the roses.” My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship was formed between the families. Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ruby Rednose和Crazy Jack这对老夫妇的花园被邻居家的小孩破坏了，Ruby Rednose很生气并要求邻居家的妈妈管教小孩。邻居家的妈妈和Ruby一起修复了花园，并发现Ruby Rednose很思念自己的母亲，因为这些玫瑰让她想起了母亲的花园。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ruby走向我母亲，我们女孩子都屏住了呼吸。”以及第二段首句内容“几周后，这些植物都恢复了生机。”可知，第一段可描写Ruby和作者的母亲交涉，作者的母亲提出修复玫瑰栅栏。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，这些植物都恢复了生机。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰栅栏成为了两家人情感的纽带。 2.续写线索：Ruby Rednose和Crazy Jack这对老夫妇非常珍爱自家的玫瑰花丛——作者一家和Ruby就隔着一个玫瑰栅栏——一天，作者和姐妹们一起玩耍时，Mary不小心摔在了玫瑰花丛上——作者的妈妈知道情况后开始检查玫瑰栅栏——这是，Ruby冲了出来，开始交涉，要求修复玫瑰栅栏——作者的妈妈带着孩子修复了玫瑰栅栏，也了解了Ruby之所以这么珍爱玫瑰的原因——后来，两家人关系非常密切，玫瑰栅栏也成了情感的纽带 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix/repair ②形成：form/develop ③转变成：turn into/transform into 情绪类 ①害怕地：in horror/frightenedly ②开心地：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said.（运用了who引导的宾语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.（运用了because引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 云南省楚雄第一中学2024-2025学年春季学期期中考 高二年级英语试卷 试卷分值：150分 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回， 第一部分听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, his life took an unexpected turn when a severe illness forced him to miss numerous school days, leaving him struggling to keep up with his studies. Later, when he downgraded to a new class, he encountered bullies who made his school days a nightmare (噩梦). That summer, right after his graduating from his primary school, he, together with his parents, visited his grandma in Chongqing, China. Michael immediately fell in love with the city. Well aware of Michael’s situation in the US, his mother decided that they would make Chongqing their new home, hoping that the new environment can provide her son with a fresh start. For Michael, the transition to a local middle school came with its own set of challenges. He struggled with the unfamiliar dialect, the different teaching methods, and school schedules With determination, Michael put himself in his studies, diligently completing his assignments, constantly seeking guidance from his teachers and peers, and he goes so far as to set his alarm for 5 a. m. each morning, all in the name of squeezing in some extra time to memorize Literary Chinese passages (文言文篇目). His hard work paid off. Michael gradually achieved remarkable academic progress, ultimately securing a place in a great local high school. During his senior year, Michael’s substitute English teacher, Linda CHEN, was deeply impressed by his language abilities and shared a video of him confidently speaking English outside of his classroom. The video quickly went viral, and Michael instantly became a sensation (轰动的人物) on campus due to his extraordinary linguistic skills and charming personality. Despite the newfound attention, Michael remained grounded and stayed committed to his studies, prioritizing his academic pursuits above all else. Michael’s diligence bore fruit when he was accepted into the Artificial Intelligence Institute of Wuhan University. His journey showcased the power of determination and resilience (适应能力), proving that even in the face of adversity (困境), one can achieve remarkable success. 4. Why did Michael’s mother decide to make Chongqing their new home? A. To escape from the atmosphere of insecurity B. To get better medical care. C. To seek help from relatives and friends D. To pursue his dream of Chinese learning 5. What helped Michael improve his academic performance in the new school? A. Constant tolerance from teachers B. Michael’s enrolling in additional afterschool programs C. Michael’s participating in extracurricular activities D. Michael’s self-discipline and strong willpower 6. How did Michael become popular on campus? A. By attending a talent show B. Through the recommendation of his teachers C. By having his talent acknowledged. D. By taking advantage of his good appearance 7. What lesson can we learn from Michael’s experience? A. The importance of perseverance in the face of challenges B. The benefits of moving to a new city for educational opportunities C. The significance of learning a foreign language. D. The key impact of a supportive school environment on students’ success C As more and more species near extinction, scientists have been collecting samples from animals, plants and other creatures and storing them in biobanks across the globe. But climate change, environmental disasters and wars threaten these modern Noah’s arks. Now, a team of researchers is brainstorming an out-of-this-world solution: building one of these vaults (库) on the moon. A biobank in a permanently shadowed region at the moon’s south pole could be far more stable than those on Earth. This part of the moon usually remains around -196° Celsius, perfect for storing most animal cells long-term, marine biologist Mary Hagedorn and colleagues report in BioScience. Hagedorn and colleagues drew inspiration from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway which takes advantage of below-zero Arctic temperatures to preserve millions of seeds from around the world. In 2017 melting (融化) frozen soil threatened to flood the vault, highlighting the need for a backup plan. A different team has proposed building a lunar ark in lava (熔岩) tubes that run beneath the moon’s surface. But that design requires a solar-powered cooling system; any loss of power and the samples would be destroyed. In the moon’s forever-frozen shadowed regions, a lunar vault wouldn’t need energy or constant human maintenance, Hagedorn’s team says. Given the shadowy south pole’s low temperatures, Hagedorn says, a vault there could store “one of the most powerful cells that we have today” — fibroblasts. Scientists can transform these animal cells into stem cells, “and then those stem cells can be used for cloning,” she says. The cells could be valuable for regenerating populations of threatened or extinct species and for building ecosystems in future human settlements on the moon or Mars. The proposal has its share of barriers. For instance, the moon’s permanently dark regions aren’t free from temperature swings, says lunar scientist Benjamin Greenhagen of the Johns Hopkins University. “They are still cold but perhaps not always cold enough for this project without some level of temperature management.” 8. Why is the moon an ideal place for the biobank? A. It’s not affected by wars. B. It’s not environmentally polluted. C It has proper temperatures. D. It has rich resources for research. 9. What led to Hagedorn’s proposal of a lunar biobank? A. The solar-powered cooling system. B. The lava tubes on the moon’s surface. C. The problem facing the Norway Vault. D. The discovery of ice on the lunar pole. 10. What can scientists use fibroblasts to do? A. Form stem cells for cloning. B. Explore moon soil conditions. C. Help land humans on the moon. D. Improve the eco-system of the earth. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lunar Exploration: The Next Frontier for Cloning B. Relieving Climate Change: The Moon Biobank Project C. The Moon as a Backup: A New Solution for Seed Storage D. Building Biobanks on the Moon: A Proposal to Save Biodiversity D Awe experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or powerful, something that challenges one’s understanding of the world. These are often, but not always, encounters with nature, such as looking over mountains from an airplane, or standing at the foot of an enormous tree. New developmental research suggests the experience of awe is crucial for a child to grow stronger. Historically, awe has featured in psychological accounts of peak experiences. William James spoke extensively about various spiritual moments that intensely moved him and shaped his viewpoint. He felt strongly these peak experiences made for the deeper development of a person’s inner world. Contemporary researchers theorize that awe may have helped our ancestors survive throughout history and continues to impart positive effects today. Previous studies have shown awe can be instrumental to the formation of social groups and can set off helpful social behaviors among adults. But our research shows that perceptions of awe start much earlier in life. Four to nine-year-old children perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences and differentiate them from everyday experiences. When watching fantastic footage of sweeping natural scenes, the children perceived themselves as smaller — a phenomenon known as the “small self”— in comparison with how they felt after watching footage of everyday nature imagery. They further reported being filled with power, believing they were capable of achieving great things. Additionally, they felt a sense of curiosity and a desire to explore more, seeing themselves as adventurers on a journey of discovery. In our busy lives, nevertheless, potential moments of awe often get overlooked. With the pressure to achieve seeping (渗透) into childhood earlier and earlier, it's easy to understand why you, as a parent, might be more focused on getting your children to the next activity or competition. However, as you become more receptive to sources of awe and knowledgeable about its importance during development, you’ll most likely see them obtain considerable advantages when giving awe experiences greater priority. 12. Which aspect of awe experience does the new study highlight? A. Its historical origin. B. Places of its occurrence. C. Its benefits for kids. D. Its impacts on adults’ behavior. 13. What does the underlined word “impart” mean in paragraph 3? A. Restrict. B. Withdraw. C. Generate. D. Transform. 14. How did the children feel when viewing footage of breathtaking scenery? A. Contented. B. Motivated. C. Panicked. D. Confused. 15. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph? A. To appeal to parents for a change. B. To advocate a care-free childhood life. C. To state his point on the fast-paced society. D. To describe a common cultural phenomenon. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing how to deal with depression can help you live a fuller, more productive life.

Rumor was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes served as a fence between our house and theirs. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of six active girls. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. One day, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve done to our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!” Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red — it was her eyes. 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。 Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
