Uffizi Gallery,Florence Uffizi Gallery is a must-see,thanks to its display of works by young da Vinci.These paintings were all completed before 1482,the year the artist left Florence to paint for Duke Ludovico il Moro in Milan.In this room,visitors can explore the early stages of the artist's brilliance.Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi are two of the highlights that demonstrate his keen attention to detail,and amazing ability to draw landscape backgrounds. 【高二下学期第二次月考·英语试卷第2页（共8页）】 25-T-775B National Gallery of Art,Washington DC Another national museum lucky enough to have a da Vinci's work in its collection is the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.In fact,Ginevra de'Benci is the only work by da Vinci on public view in the Americas.The portrait (was one of Leonardo's first experiments with oil painting.The gallery bought the portrait in 1967 for a sum of $5 milliona record price at the time. The Louvre,Paris One of the largest museums in the world,the Louvre is well-known for being the home of da Vinci's Mona Lisa,the earliest Italian painting to focus on the sitter in a half-length portrait.But how did such an important work by the Italian Renaissance artist end up in France?That's because da Vinci brought the painting with him to France in 1517,where he continued to work on it-it was his favourite painting and he would continuously add details to it for the rest of his life. 21.Which museum only exhibits works by da Vinci during his youth? A.The Louvre. B.Uffizi Gallery. C.National Gallery of Art. D.Santa Maria delle Grazie. 22.When did the National Gallery of Art buy Ginevra de'Benci? A.In1482. B.In1517. C.In1915. D.In1967. 23.Which painting did Leonardo da Vinci like best? A.Mona Lisa. B.Annunciation. C.The Last Supper.

But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat?14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge for inventing an AI-based handheld pesticide detector called PestiSCAND that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue. Now in its 17th year,the Challenge supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM(Science,Technology,Engineering,and Mathematics)principles to discover real-world solutions.When the finalists are chosen,they are paired with a 3M scientist who guides them over the summer to help turn their ideas from just concepts to prototypes(). Sirish spent four months competing against nine other finalists and secured his win at the final challenge events at 3M's global headquarters in St.Paul,Minnesota that were held on October 14 and 15,2024.The finalists had to traverse a series of interactive challenges and were evaluated on their innovation,application of STEM,as well as their ability to inspire others. Sirish's journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and reminding him to always do so.He wondered whether washing actually made a difference.Since 70 percent of the produce in the US has pesticide residue that is linked to illnesses like cancer,it's very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe to eat. That's what PestiSCAND is designed to do. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the wavelengths that bounce (back.Sirish tested the device on more than 12,000 foods including strawberries,apples and tomatoes. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent.Sirish aims at making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices.But he still believes you should wash your produce anyway. 【高二下学期第二次月考·英语试卷第3页（共8页）】 25-T-775B 24.What is the function of PestiSCAND? A.To treat cancer. B.To clean vegetables. C.To detect pesticide residue. D.To promote the growth of fruits. 25.What does the underlined word "traverse"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Note down. B.Give up. C.Miss out. D.Get through. 26.What can we learn from the text? A.Sirish put a lot of effort into his invention. B.PestiSCAND came on the market last year. C.Sirish's mother was strict about his education. D.The 3M scientists mustn't provide help for the finalists. 27.What does Sirish suggest people do? A.Order a piece of PestiSCAND B.Wash produce before eating it. C.Buy fresh produce as often as possible.D.Enter as many competitions as they can. 0 Older trees have a major role to play in the fight against climate change,according to a recent study from the UK.Researchers at the University of Birmingham have found that older trees respond to increased levels of carbon dioxide(CO2)in the atmosphere by absorbing more of it with increased wood production.Previously,it was thought that only younger trees could do this. The scientists studied data from an experiment run by the University of Birmingham's Institute of Forest Research(BIFoR)in a forest in central England.This forest mainly consists of oak trees that are over 180 years old. To understand the impact of the changing climate on trees,scientists put a network of pipes()in the forest that fed the area a stream of CO.This created a local atmosphere of increased CO-something we might see everywhere if nothing is done to reduce global emissions(). After seven years of running the experiment,it was found that,in response to a 40% increase in CO2 levels,the trees had increased their production of wood by nearly 10%.Trees change COz into oxygen,which they emit into the air,and carbon,which is used to produce wood,leaves and roots. Leaves and roots can die quite quickly,and when they do,they emit CO2 back into the atmosphere.Wood,however,acts as a long-term carbon store.So when the BIFoR trees made more wood,they were keeping COz out of the atmosphere for many years to come,and stopping it from warming our atmosphere. Rob MacKenzie,the director of BIFoR and one of the authors of the study,described the findings as "hopeful and positive",and said we should carefully manage older forests."The old forest is doing a huge amount of work for us,"he added."What we definitely should not be doing is cutting it down." 28.Where was the experiment conducted? A.In a forest in central England. B.In an urban park. C.In a forest in western England. D.In a laboratory in Birmingham. 29.What is the purpose of setting up a network of pipes? A.To keep the trees warm. B.To provide people with gas. C.To transport large amounts of CO2. D.To store as much oxygen as possible. 【高二下学期第二次月考·英语试卷第4页（共8页）】 25-T-775B 30.Which of the following is Rob MacKenzie's idea according to the last paragraph? A.It is unavoidable to emit CO2 B.People should plant more trees. C.People should value old forests. D.CO2 is necessary to the environment. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.The Role of Younger Trees in Climate Change B.The Importance of Reducing Global CO2 Emissions C.Climate Change Impacts on Humans Are Increasing D.Older Trees Can Help Fight Against Climate Change D When a team of local rangers()and scientists arrived at the billabong,a lake that is formed when a river floods,in Australia's Northern Territory,they knew the clock was ticking.It was September 2024,and the hot dry season meant disappearing water,which would trap the young freshwater sawfish within days. After catching the young sawfish by hand and with nets,the scientists,including Peter Kyne,noted each sawfish's sex,placing a microchip()under their skin,while rangers poured water on the animals to keep them wet.Over two days,the team put 19 rescued sawfish into a water tank and drove them a short distance to the Daly River,freeing them into the dark depths. The freshwater sawfish is a type of large Australian ray()with sharp teeth that can cut through other fish.The 21-foot-long rays spend their long lives in fresh and sea water, with females giving birth to an average of seven babies annually in Northern Territory rivers. Young sawfish mature in fresh water for about a decade before returning to the ocean. Sawfish was once found in oceans worldwide.However,a combination of habitat loss and overfishing has reduced the large-toothed sawfish's range by an estimated 60 percent between roughly 2000 and 2010.The four other sawfish species are also critically endangered,and their ranges have decreased by up to 80 percent. Since 2012,the rangers have partnered with university scientists to look for and relocate sawfish in remote floodplains.Since then,the team has relocated 115 fish back into the Daly River. Now,there's a new concern for sawfish in the Northern Territory-cotton farming. Industrial farming stations,some double the size of London,have been built across the region,and more than 120,000 acres of cotton farms will likely be planted within the next few years.On average,cotton requires almost two Olympic-size swimming pools of water per acre.To meet this demand,agriculturists are pushing to harvest water from the Daly River and its surrounding floodplains. 32.What did the scientists do first after they caught the young freshwater sawfish? A.They poured water on them. B.They kept a record of their sexes. C.They put microchips in their mouths. D.They put them directly into the ocean. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The introduction of a fish. B.The benefit of cotton farming. C.The history of industrial farming. D.The description of the Daly River. 34.How many sawfish species are critically endangered according to the text? A.Six. B.Five. C.Four. D.Three. 35.What can be inferred about sawfish from the text? A.They will soon disappear completely. B.Their population is increasing rapidly. C.They are only affected by overfishing. D.Their survival is facing several threats. 【高二下学期第二次月考·英语试卷第5页（共8页）】 25-T-775B 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。 Learning can be a pretty personal thing-different skills tend to work for different people,and you may find that the strategies that have helped others understand one kind of topic may not be as effective for you.That's completely normal,so don't worry!36 Take notes while you learn.It can help you fully understand the material you are learning,making it easier for your brain to understand and absorb it.37,put down the key points as you listen.If you're reading,write down key words and important facts,and make note of any questions you have about the material.

"Grandma,everyone's getting a superhero jersey,"he said one afternoon."Can I get one,too?” Mrs.Hargrove looked at the price online."Dylan,those jerseys are awfully expensive," she said gently."I'm afraid we can't afford one right now.Dylan's face fell,but he forced a smile.“That's okay,Grandma..I understand..” But Mrs.Hargrove couldn't bear to see him disappointed.That night,after Dylan had gone to bed,she sat down with a plan.She stayed up all night,her fingers moving quickly as she made a jersey with all the love she had.By morning,she was exhausted but satisfied, holding up the finished product with a smile.
