Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children's Hospital in South Bend could nor go outside,and nis cousuuction site was the only view from their hospital rooms.So together with his teenage daugnter,Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (cutout of Waldo from the famous Where's Waldo?books. Every day,the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site,giving the children a new challenge.As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo,the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again. Heidi Prescott,a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System,which runs the hospital,said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable snowman for the children.The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout. "It didn't take long to catch on,the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area,they look across as soon as they get to the window,"Prescott toldABCNews."They will look all over the building, point and exclaim(惊叫)'I found him!'” Haney,meanwhile,simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children's day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes.He has said over and over again,"All I did this for was to make the kids smile." Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings.The project has been a huge success,with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable. Why did Jason-Haney create the Waldo cutout? A.To bring joy to sick kids in a nearby hospital B.To raise public awareness of child healthcare. C.To practice his hobby of art with his daughter. D.To attract more attention to his construction site. 25.What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3? A.The game ends when all kids find Waldo B.The game continues by relocating Waldo. C.The kids search for Waldo on the fixed spot. D.The kids begin by having fun hiding Waldo. 26.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids. B.Haney's next project will be more successful than the Waldo one. C.Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids. D.The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo's location. 27.Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney? A.Talented and humorous. B.Kind-hearted and creative C.Committed and modest. D.Open-minded and considerate. 高二英语第4页（共10页） 0 Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (plants into natural sensom which can find chemicals used m bombs.The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术)，which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. "Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store;like other plants,fhey normally take in carbon dioxide gas,"the scientists say."But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them.If we tap into this point,there is a wealth of information to access."That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment,the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants.To embed (them into the plants,the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves.As part of its natural process,the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves.If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs,the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes,which,along with the sensors,were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists. produce a slightly special kind of light.By watching the plant.constantly using a camera attached to a computer,the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card.They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly.Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring.They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well.From.their point of view,there's no doubt that in the future.such systems could give farmers specific information about the heaith of the land and water on their farms. 28.Why do the scientists use spinach plants to do the experiment? A.They are common in the daily life B.They are environmentally responsive. C.They are small in size and easy to store.D.They are efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide 29.What's the function of the nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A.Fixing the tiny sensors. B.Containing the liquid. C.Controlling the camera D.Giving off plant light. 30.What can you infer about the system from the last paragraph? A.Researchers are confident in its agricultural potential. B Future success depends on specialized phone cameras. G Farmers have received farm-specific environmental data. D The computer can be sized according to scientists'needs. 31.What is a suitable title for the text? A:Nanotech Helps Spinach Grow Healthily B.Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger C.Spinach Delivers Warnings via Nanotech D.Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs 高二英语第5页（共10页) D A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than,say,history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with.After all,"Was Henry VIII a good king?"is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom ofnine year-nlds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates.But"Solve this quadratic equation( 次方程式)”would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed.Maths is leamed by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be approachable,yet hard enough to be satisfying,is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason,books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think,but are aimed at those not already ip the field,are both valuable and rare.Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge,has added to the category with The Art o Uncertainty.His new book will attract many more than just mathematicians,for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance,uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine ()is tnat evidence that the vaccination program is harmful?How much of top football teams'performance comes down to luck rather.than skill?Professor Spiegelhalter's exploration of such questions is delightful.First,he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work.So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes's theorem,a precedure for improving one's judgment of propaourties as new evidence comes to light.The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter's approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive( 觉的)assumptions and very simple maths, Most important,though,is Professor Spiegelhalter's'skill at communicating these ideas.Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition,and the maths behind it is ofteo fearsome Rut this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 32.What does the underlined word "nonplussed"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Misguided. B.Amused. C.Confused. D.Prepared. 33.What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A.It covers various topics. B.It casts light on math thoughts. C.It satisfies maths professionals. D.It makes sense to ordinary people. 34.Why does the author mention Bayes's theorem in paragrapn 3? A.To prove the reliability of intuition. B.To reveal the book's academic nature. C.To underline the deep truth of judgement. D.To demonstrate Spiegelhalter's writing approach. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.A guidebook to teaching mathematics B.A book review on understanding probability. C.A statistical analysis of new vaccine safety.D.An introduction to a master's program in maths. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Paris is an ideal travel destination with its food,wine;shopping.complexes and sightseeing spots. 36 Actually it is possible to have a good time without spending a lot.
