B In my early teens,I was once given a film camera as a gift.On receiving it,I jumped on my bike,headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos,just for me:photos of trees and wildlife.I was out all day.On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour.Rushing home,I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store,desperate to see how it came out.I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood,that simple.deep happiness gradually faded away.One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls,my eyes caught a box in the comner of the room.I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the comner.I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down.It was a great joy that it still worked.I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went.Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys,to allow me time to myself.Even if the day is full and busy,I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display,along with photos I've faken.To me,the room represents how I've found happiness:by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight 24.What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy?

The seed of this idea was planted when Mendoza was in middle school,watching Ridley Scott's 2015 film The Martian,in which Mark Watney becomes stuck on the planet and grows potatoes to survive."That got me really iterested in what nutrients or what soil structure Martian soil has that we could potentially take advantage of,"Mendoza said. Now,he's running an experiment growing English peas in simulated Martian soil."I definitely considered potatoes like Mark Watney,"he said."But the fact was that I couldn't necessarily get the data I wanted out of them." He wanted to be able to measure plant growth as it occurred throughout his experiment.Since potatoes grow underground,he'd only be able to collect data once they were done growing.In the end,Mendoza chose ta grow English peas because they're self-pollinating(自花传粉)，grow fairly quickly and he can see the shoots climb. Martian sou,though It does contain other essential nutnents,Isn't exactly ideal for plants from Earth.It tends to be rocky and lacks the right organic (matter.Here's where the larvae come in.Mendoza turned to the larvae of black soldier flies,which produce a waste known as frass."Theyn break down almost any biomatter and tum it into really useful matter,"Mendoza said."And then you can use e frass as a nutrientafterativero soil." For this experiment,Mendoza mixed different percentages of simulated Martian soil and frass to see what best supported growing English pea plants.Now,he said he's seeing growth across all his plants-even the ones growing in 100%simulated Martian soil. 28.Why does the author.mention the film The Martian? A.To show Mendoza's enthusiasm for films. B.To illustrate Mark Watney's intelligence. C.To introduce the origin of Mendoza's experiment. D.To prove Mark Watney's interest in gardening. 29.Why did Mendoza grow English peas instead of potatoes? A.He was unwitling to repeat others'study. B.It was more convenient to collect the data. C.Potatoes needed stricter living conditions. D.English peas grew far faster than potatoes. 30.What is the function of frass? A.It serves as certain essential nutrients. B.It loosens the soil for plants to grow. 高一英语试卷第4页 共8页 蜜蜂试卷创建 4 C.It makes the soil become quite rocky. D.It helps black soldier flies grow stronger. 31.How does Mendoza feel about his experiment results? A.Doubtful. B.Pleased. C.Intolerant D.Disappointed. D A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21si century. The paper is authored by scientists Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell,and their research addresses an age-old question:if whales are so smart,why did they hang around to be killed?The answer?They didn't. Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales in the Pacific,the authors discoyered that within iust a few vears,the strike rate of the whalers'tools fell by 58%.This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion:that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales,who made essential changes to their behavior. Before humans,orca()were sperm whales'only hunters,against whom sperm whales form protective circles, their powerful tails held outwards to keep orca away.But such methods"just made it easier for the hunters to kill them," says Whitehead. It was a frighteningly rapid killing.Sperm whales are highly socialized animals,able to communicate over great distances.They also have the largest brain on the planet.It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them.Giving up their usual formations,the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters'wind-powered ships."This was cultural evolution,much faster than genetic evolution,"says Whitehead. Now,just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial damage,they face new threats."They're having to learn not to get hit by ships,adapt to the changing sources of their food due to climate change,and deal with noise pollution,"says Whitehead. As Whitehead observes,whale culture is many millions of years older than ours.Perhaps we need to learn from them.After all,it was the whales that inspired Herman Melville to produce Moby-Dick."We account the whate immortal (永恒的)in his species,however short--lived in individuality,”he wrote,.“and if ever the world is to be again flooded. then the whale will still survive..." 32.What is the focus of the new study A.How whales communicate with each other. B.The impact of human activities on whale populations. C.The evolution of whale species over millions of years. D.How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19century. 33.What caused the sharp drop in whales'successful strikes on sperm wales? A.Whale numbers fell. B.Weather conditions worsened. C.Whales changed their behaviour. D.Demands for whale products decreased 34.What does"cultural evolution"mean in paragraph 5? A.A slow process of change. B.Genetic changes over time. C.Natural selection in the real world. D.Quick learning and adaptation 35.What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph? A.Humans should respect and learn from whales. B.Whales have a deep connection with the ocean. C.Whales can adapt to changing environment rapidly. D.Whale culture is more advanced than human culture 高一英语试卷 第5页 共8页 蜜蜂试卷创建 第二节七选五（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。 Asking for help can feel scary.We may worry that the request wili be rejected or that it will be a burden to the nelper.3.And afterward,they often feel better about having helped than we expect. Scientists conducted a series of six experiments.Altogether,more than 2,100 people were involved in the research. n one experiment,participants had to ask strangers to take their photo at a public botanical garden.In another, participants answered questions about times when they had either asked for or given help.Researchers had the"askers" guess how the "helpers"might feel about the request.37. In each experiment,people who asked for help underestimated the helpers'willingness to assist and how good they would feel afterward.38 However,only four out of 100 people refused to take the phote,and those who did take one said they felt relatively good about doing this helpful act for a stranger. 39Aiding others can create what is known as a "helper's high",reducing stress and providing a sense of neaning and connection."We feel good making a positive difference in other people's lives,"said Xuan Zhao,co-author of the new study. Despite these benefits,the study authors said that askers'fears functioned like "barriers",stopping them from naking a request.They noted that the type of request and cultural differences could affect the way people react.The tudy's results suggest,however,that people are usually happy to lend a hand.40Zhao said this research should provide some reassurance because"you might be really underestimating how willing others are to help." A.The askers expressed rather different opinions. B.Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt C..Studies show that helping someone out makes both feel good D.Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people's health. B.Buonew research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think. F.perts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable.it can be useful to practice. C For example askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo. 第三部分语言运用（共二节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（供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。 In 2016,Yu Yongguang,a teacher at the Jiangsu University,saw a Yangtze finless porpoise (for the first time n a newspaper.He found himself 41 by the"smile"of the porpoise.Two months later,Yu set up an on-campus ssociation to protect the sneies in.At first,there were only seven members.
