The team is committed to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals (and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site.The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road."Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures,is to better preserve the caves,which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,"says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen“diseases'”affecting the murals include cracking and chipping(裂痕)，as well as erosion (that is caused by changes in temperature and moisture of the caves.To restore a mural requires a multi-talented individual,and restorers should know painting,master the skills of craft and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics,to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution.They must also select proper materials and tools,and conduct experiments,before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the current situation of the murals rather than repainting them.When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away,they never repaint them to create a "perfect"appearance in restoration."Cultural relics are witnesses of history,”explains Su..“When you pursue the so-called intact(完好的)look for artistic reasons,you will lose their key meaning." Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems."It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves,over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,"Su says. But at least,they can keep the current look of the murals for as long as possible. 28.Why does the Dunhuang Academy restore the murals? A.To promote cultural exchanges. B.To help study the ancient Silk Road. C.To spread the spirit of Dunhuang globally. D.To keep it on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. 29How does the author feel the restoration work? A.Creative. B.Traditional. C.Risky. D.Demanding. 30.What does Su suggest about restoring mural? A.It is advised to keep its current state. B.It is supposed to pursue a perfect look. C.Its missing parts should be restored in time. D.It can be repainted to fix its appearance. 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.The Significance of Mural Preservation. B.The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. C.The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. D.The Experiments on Cave Conservation. 高二英语第5页共10页 D Evolution (can bring extraordinary makeovers.Today's songbirds evolved from the wingless dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago.But some creatures seem to be unchanged-in other words,escape natural selection.The coelacanth,a modern-.day fish,looks almost the same as its 410-million-year-old fossils. Scientists have long wondered how these species do so.It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities(directional selection)that would cause a species to change. But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA conflicts with this idea, showing that evolution constantly offers different qualities to those seemingly unchanging animals to improve short-term survival.In the long term,though,"all that evolution cancels out (相互抵消)and leads to no change,”says the study's lead author,James Stroud. Stroud and his colleagues studied lizards )all relatively unchanged for 20 million years.The researchers caught members of lizard groups every six months for three years.They measured each lizard's head size,leg length,mass and height,as well as the size of its sticky toes, noting which individuals survived.He saw clearer evidence of directional selection:some lizards with unique characteristics,such as stickier toes,survived better. "The study offers a good explanation,"says Tadashi Fukami,an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University.Many new qualities are evolving in the short term,but they don't provide a crucial advantage over the long term.In other words,species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment.So what happens when the lizards'environment changes more dramatically?To help answer this bigger question,Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards. 32.Why does the underlined word"makeover"refer to in paragraph 1? A.Challenges. B.Benefits. C.Changes. D.Abilities. 33 What's the focus of paragraph 2? A.A common belief. B.A new definition. C.Unsolved mysteries. D.Unique characteristics. 34.What can we learn from the study of James Stroud? A.Evolution causes long-term physical changes in lizard.popukations. B.Evolution helps lizards develop new species over millions of years. C.Evolution prevents lizards from changing their physical characteristics. D.Evolution brings lizards short-term survival qualities that cancel out over time. 35.What will Stroud probably do in the future? A.Make trips to visit lizard experts. B.Summarize average features of lizards. C.Reveal the best combinations of qualities. D.Examine lizards under extreme conditions. 高二英语第6页共10页 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。 In early October,Travis Gienger transported a huge pumpkin from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California.His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America.How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes?36 Gienger,who teaches horticulture (at Anoka Technical College,begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April,starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota's soil is too icy.37,-They can absorb sunlight,nutrients from the soil,and water there."At their peak,you're watering them with at least 600 liters a day,"he says. Depending on the variety,pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine ()But to maximize size,growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit's competition for resources 38 But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows?Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion.Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit's life.This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants.s39 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination ) 40.Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still,there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety.This has led to competition for the best seeds.Following each harvest,many growers auction off ( the seeds from their biggest pumpkins,which will then be used for the following year's plantings. A.Biology has the answers. B Genetics also influences pumpkin growth. C.The following tips will give you a head start. D.When it stops,cell expansion will then take effect. E.Once it warms up,the plants are transferred outside. F.Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible. G.Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason. 高二英语第7页共10页 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 Even before I opened my eyes I could tell that things had gone wrong.I was 41 all over,but it was not that serious.Checking my body,I was clearly 42 arld gould feel my legs despite the pain,so it was acceptable.

Therefore,twenty years later,when I entered my first official running race-a 3,000-meter challenge in my city at age thirty-eight,I felt very nervous. I was there because my college friend Sim Hosek was the director of the race,and he asked me to run.The race was aimed at raising money for the poor patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their families to be brave,determined,and confident with sportsmanship. It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it,so I wore the race number pinned ()on my back,and moved over to the starting line.There,I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin.I was nervous.Would I be the last one to finish again?Could I even finish the race?I wondered. Before long,someone spoke into a microphone,"Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale ()please."Knowing I was over 200 pounds,I walked down to the scale.A man asked me to stand on it."Two hundred and three pounds,"he said.Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back.Out of curiosity,I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony after the race.One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group,and this special award would be given at the end of the race. Not expecting the award,I ran towards the starting line,never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds.Soon after,the race started.While I was running,I saw many runners pass me on the way. 注意： 续写词数应为80个左右： 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Minutes later,I already felt tired. 高二英语第10页共10页
