Mary Poppins She's the magical,singing babysitter beloved around the world.But the real-life inspiration was no Julie Andrewsthe actress who played Mary.Writer PL Travers based the main character in her 1930s' children's book on her great-aunt Helen Morehead,who looked after the author's family after their father's death. Severus Snape JK Rowling never talked much about the potions()master in her Harry Potter series,but he's thought to be based on her real-life science teacher John Nettleship.John taught Rowling chemistry,and he looked a lot like Snape.He was noted for being strict,but admitted he only started to suspect Snape was based on him when he got to the third book.However,his wife noticed the similarities straight away. 高二英语第2页共8页 James Bond Author lan Fleming served as a commander in the British Naval Intelligence during World War II.

Lynn's passion began in 1989,when she volunteered in Houston as a college student.Seeing children rescued from destructive situations by a devoted team touched her heart."I can see the sadness in the children's eyes melt away when they are finally safe,"she thought,"This is special work."

C Gardens seem sustainable as they absorb extra carbon.Yet not all reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide-some add to carbon pollution,and most gardeners aren't even aware of that.Even so,it is possible to attain a net-zero garden and sometimes create a carbon sink in your garden. The secret to developing a carbon-free garden is to be intentional about it.Home gardens cause carbon emissions via the gas-powered mowers(),plastic plant supports,burning garden waste and artificial fertilizers().Controlling these factors helps create such a garden. To attain a carbon-free garden,take a twin approach.First,aim to reduce your carbon output to net zero if possible.Use self-made compost (for fertilizer.Compost your leftover foods at home and vegetables.Grow native plants to reduce the use of pesticide.Native plants are hardy,pest-resistant, require no strict care or regular mowing,and may thrive with weeds that affect most plants. Secondly,aim at sequestering (extra carbon from the atmosphere.Plant trees-silver maple, London plane,American sweetgum and pines,to boost carbon capture.You don't have to turn your backyard into a forest to make an impact.Just spread trees in your garden to help remove more carbon. Grow grass alternatives-clove,chamomile and wildflowers to skip mowing,or'grow grass using an electric mower instead of a gas-powered mower.Plus,grow short trees or shrubs as natural plant supports that may act as supports for climbing plants rather than plastic supports. The concept of carbon-free gardening is quite new,but it is attainable.The beauty of it is that you don't have to make significant changes.Minor adjustments,such as changing from artificial to compost, can have a major impact. 28.Which of the following contributes to carbon pollution in home gardens? A.Burning garden waste. B.Bringing in foreign plant species. C.Making self-made compost. D.Growing natural plant supports. 29.What can be inferred about native plants from the passage? A:They require frequent mowing. B.They need special care to grow well. C.They are easily affected by weeds. D.They help reduce carbon indirectly. 30.How does the author present the issue in the fourth paragraph? A.By defining a concept. B.By providing statistics. C.By giving examples. D.By introducing a study. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Importance of Sustainability. B.The Art of Carbon-free Gardening. C.Tips on Choosing Alternative Plants. D.Twin Approaches to Growing Plants. 高二英语第4页共8页 D Playing pianos could help protect you from dementia(),according to a recent study looking into the brain health of older musicians.It investigated picking up a new instrument later in life.Playing music was associated with less age--related cognitive(认知的)decline. The Canada-China study,published in PLOS Biology,recruited 50 adults with an average age of 65. Half didn't play an instrument,and half played an instrument for at least 32 years.It also found 24 young people,with an average age of 23 without musical training. The scientists scanned the participants using MRI(f磁共振成像)to measure their brain blood flow. During the scans,participants were played a recording of someone speaking above background noise They were asked to identify what the main speaker was saying.Scientists found the older musicians' brains responded to the challenge similarly to the younger participants'brains.The older non-musicians, however,showed signs of cognitive decline. While the musicians benefitted from strong right-brain connections,the non-musicians didn't.They had to compensate by using the left side of their brains,putting more stress on the brain."The brains of older musicians stay sharp thanks to years of training,"said co-author Dr YiDu,from China."Our study shows musical experience builds cognitive reserve,helping their brains avoid the usual age-related overwork when understanding speech in noisy places." As we age,many brain's functions like memory and learning deteriorate,which can eventually lead to dementia.Scientists believe cognitive reserve-the brain's ability to cope with damage-might help build adaptability and prevent this decline. "It's not clear how this works."Dr Morten,associate professor of ageing in Copenhagen,noted."In general,it's advised to train your brain,but the data is actually not that clear." 32.What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A.Take a language test. B.Play a song recording. C.Identify background noise. D.Recognize speech content 33.Why did the older non-musicians put more stress on their brains during the MRI scan? A.They had weak right-brain links. B.They couldn't hear the speaker clearly. C.Their left brains were not functional. D.They compensated for the overuse of brains. 34.What does the underlined word "deteriorate"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Steady. B.Improve. C.Disappear. D.Worsen. 35.What will the follow-up study focus on? A.Making use of the findings. B.Clarifying the purpose of the study. C.Conducting further research. D.Assessing participants'cognitive reserve. 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。 Good news:Making small changes to your everyday routine breaks up the dullness().36 Here are some tips worth following.

She settled in Belfast at first and studied linguistics in the university.Then she met her husband and lived in Dublin for 13 years.During the pandemic,she lost her job as a translator.However,she surprised herself by returning to a childhood hobby-crocheting,and making a business out of it. She played with handmade dolls as a child,and her twin daughters,Elif and Zeynep,loved playing with dolls too.So,that was how it started.She believed Irish and Turkish cultures,both family-focused, gift-loving and appreciative of handmade items,would embrace her products. Arzu launched her online business in 2020,offering dolls,baby gift boxes,keyrings and more.She worked with a group of skilled craftspeople,located mainly in Turkiye,who made the items by hand."I speak the language,and I know the culture,so I can relate to so many things,"she said,"I have a nice bond with them."Meanwhile,she rented a place in a market to sell the popular goods. Her daughters,the new generation,were two balls of fire in crochet too.When Arzu was busy,they just helped her,and worked together at the market on weekends. One Saturday morning,when Arzu and her daughters arranged crochet blankets and handcrafted keyrings at their stall(),a middle-aged woman stopped by,staring carefully at a crochet tablecloth displayed."This pattern...it reminds me so much of the one my Turkish grandma made for me,"she said softly,her eyes filled with nostalgia ()The woman,named Clara,explained she'd lost touch with her Turkish relatives decades ago and had never found anything that brought back such vivid memories. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 Clara asked if Arzu could make a version of her grandma's tablecloth as a reminder.
