Some involve treating patients, some involve managing people，and others are mainly about working with computers.” (OOH列出了在未来10年左右看起来很有前途职业。有些涉及治疗病人，有些涉及管理人员，还有一些主要是与计算机打交道。)以及通读全文后发现，本文主要介绍了医疗健康服务管理师、运营研究分析师和Web开发人员，三种未来很有前途的职业。由此可知，这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸上的职业专栏。故选A项。 B What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine.Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at capturing the night sky. Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare. Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back — I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera — I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography. Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing — the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures. Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot？According to Batak.“With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.” The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries, ”says Batak. “The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.” 4. Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa? A. It has a small population. B. It has ideal weather conditions. C. It is free from light pollution. D. It has a magnificent landscape. 5. Which is required in both car racing and photography? A. Willpower. B. Teamwork. C. Bravery. D. Creativity. 6. What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer? A. Annoying. B. Disastrous. C. Favorable. D. Challenging. 7. Which may be a message behind the team’s photography work? A. Appreciating the night sky. B. Connecting various cultures. C. Removing racial boundaries. D. Protecting the environment. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赛车手Bubba Wallace和摄影师Batak Tefreshi共同前往偏远的Gooseberry Mesa进行的一次旨在捕捉夜空美景的冒险经历。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers.(Gooseberry Mesa远离人口中心，因此免受夜间光污染的影响，使其成为星空摄影师的理想之地)”可知，他们选择Gooseberry Mesa是因为那里没有光污染，适合拍摄星空。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back — I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera — I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.(布巴说：“一旦你启动了引擎，就没有回头路了——我知道我要在那个座位上坐三个多小时。”巴塔克对此表示赞同，“我一摸到相机的方向盘就有同样的感觉——我已经准备好整个晚上都继续拍摄了。”对布巴来说，培养耐心使他成为一名成熟的司机，对他的摄影同样至关重要)”可知，对于Bubba来说，培养耐心使他作为赛车手更加成熟，对于他的摄影也同样重要。由此推知，赛车和摄影都需要耐心和意志力。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.(在拍摄广角夜景时，每一种意外的天气条件都可能成为一个机会)”可推知，Batak认为意外的天气是拍摄的有利条件。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries. The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.(我们都热衷于将不同文化融合在一起，并利用我们的工作打破界限。夜空具有统一的力量。天空像一把伞一样连接着整个世界)”可推知，团队摄影工作背后传达的信息是连接各种文化。故选B。 ★C Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years. The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it. All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck’s team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14. The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time. 8. What does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Impressive. B. Acceptable. C. Expensive. D. Difficult. 9. How does radiocarbon dating work? A. By analyzing samples from artwork. B. By removing the smaller samples. C. By measuring the carbon-14 left. D. By testing the carbon in the sample. 10. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4? A. It produces more carbon-14. B. It helps identify fake paintings. C. it reduces carbon concentration. D. It has been stopped completely. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Paintings waiting to be identified B. Two fake paintings found in France C. New technology in painting becomes a hit D. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了放射性碳测年法在画作防伪上的应用，工作原理。但是原子弹测试也会产生碳-14，会影响检测精度。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.(如果一幅画有可能是真实的，因此很有价值，他们不希望收集更大的样本会损坏它)”可知，推知划线词所在句子意为“从艺术品中去除较小的样本正变得越来越适合博物馆和绘画所有者”。由此可知，划线词palatable与acceptable“认同的，认可的”意思接近。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed.(所有生物都从大气和食物中吸收碳，包括放射性碳-14。当通常用于制作油画布的植物死亡时，其中所含的碳-14会继续脱落。放射性碳测年法测量剩余的时间来估计经过的时间)”可知，放射性碳测年是通过测量剩余的碳-14来估算经过的时间的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere. (原子弹测试始于1940年代，并于1950年代起飞，迅速增加了大气中碳-l4的含量)”可知，原子弹测试产生了大量的碳-14。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. (放射性碳测年法在法国发现了两幅伪造的画作，这可能是该技术首次用于警方调查。这些画据说是二十世纪初左右的作品)”可知，文章主要讲述的内容是放射性碳测年法在画作防伪上的应用。由此可知，Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper(放射性碳约会证明是一个反假助手)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 D Home to reefs, sharks and many exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a unique reserve of biodiversity off the northeastern coast of Australia. If a proposal by the Australian government goes ahead, the region will become the world's largest marine protected area, with bans on fishing, mining and marine farming. The Coral Sea reserve will cover almost 990,000 square kilometers and stretch as far as 1,100 kilometers from the coast. Revealed by environment minister Tony Burke, the proposal will be the last in a series of proposed marine reserves around Australia's coast. But the plan attracts criticism from scientists and conservation groups claiming the government hasn't done enough in protecting the Coral Sea. They even point out only half of the Coral Sea reserve is proposed as a “no take” area, in which all fishing would be banned. But the world's largest existing marine reserve, established by the British government in the Indian Ocean, spans 554,000 km2 and is a no-take zone throughout. Some people argue more of the Coral Sea should receive this level of protection. The Australian government didn't respond to the criticism. But Robin Beaman, a marine geologist, says the reserve does “broadly protect the range of habitats”in the sea. “I can testify to the huge effort that government agencies and other organizations have made to understand the ecological values of this vast area,” he says. Reserves proposed earlier for Australia's southwestern coastal regions have also been criticized for not giving habitats adequate protection. Some scientists pointed out the proposals for the southwestern region had not been based on the “core science principles” of reserves — the protected regions were not representative of all the habitats in the region, they said. Critics say the southwestern reserve offers the greatest protection to the offshore areas where there is little threat to the environment, a controversy also leveled at the Coral Sea plan. 12. What do we learn from the passage about the Coral Sea? A. It is extremely rich in marine life. B. It is the biggest marine protected area. C. It remains largely undisturbed by humans. D. It is a unique reserve of endangered species. 13. What does the Australian government plan to do according to Tony Burke? A. Make a new proposal to protect the Coral Sea. B. Revise its conservation plan owing to criticisms. C. Upgrade the established reserves to protect marine life. D. Complete the series of marine reserves around its coast. 14. What does marine geologist Robin Beaman say about the Coral Sea plan? A. It can compare with the British government's effort in the Indian Ocean. B. It will result in the establishment of the world's largest marine reserve. C. It will ensure the sustainability of the fishing industry around the coast. D. It is an enormous joint effort to protect the range of marine habitats. 15. What do critics think of the Coral Sea plan? A. It will affect Australia's fishing industry. B. It will do more harm than good to the environment. C. It will protect regions that actually require little protection. D. It will win little support from environmental organizations. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了由澳大利亚提出的珊瑚海海洋保护区计划所引发的争论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Home to reefs, sharks and many exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a unique reserve of biodiversity off the northeastern coast of Australia. (珊瑚海是珊瑚礁、鲨鱼和许多外来鱼类的家园，是澳大利亚东北海岸的一个独特的生物多样性保护区)”可知，这里海洋生物非常丰富。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Revealed by environment minister Tony Burke, the proposal will be the last in a series of proposed marine reserves around Australia's coast. (据澳大利亚环境部长Tony Burke透露，该提议将是一系列围绕澳大利亚海岸的海洋保护区提议中的最后一项)”可知，Tony Burke说这是系列海洋保护区的最后一项。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But Robin Beaman, a marine geologist, says the reserve does “broadly protect the range of habitats”in the sea. “I can testify to the huge effort that government agencies and other organizations have made to understand the ecological values of this vast area,” he says. (但海洋地质学家Robin Beaman表示，该保护区确实“广泛地保护了海洋中的栖息地范围”。他说：“我可以证明，政府机构和其他组织为了解这片广袤地区的生态价值所付出的巨大努力。”)”可知，政府和其他机构为了解这片广袤地区的生态价值付出巨大努力。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Some scientists pointed out the proposals for the southwestern region had not been based on the “core science principles” of reserves—the protected regions were not representative of all the habitats in the region, they said. Critics say the southwestern reserve offers the greatest protection to the offshore areas where there is little threat to the environment, a controversy also leveled at the Coral Sea plan. (一些科学家指出，针对西南地区的建议并不是基于保护区的“核心科学原则”——保护区不能代表该地区所有的栖息地，他们说。批评人士说，西南保护区对近海地区提供了最大的保护，那里对环境的威胁很小，这一争议也针对珊瑚海计划)”可知，珊瑚海计划保护的也是一些不需要保护太多的区域。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，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。 We all do little things to boost the way we feel and think throughout the day.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章认为写作可以改善心理健康，并说明了原因。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Something as simple as taking a walk or eating a piece of chocolate can brighten your mood almost instantly, thanks to certain chemical reactions that occur in the brain. (由于大脑中发生的某些化学反应，像散步或吃一块巧克力这样简单的事情几乎可以立刻让你的心情变好)”以及后文“If you’re going through something complex, you need a more permanent practice. (如果你正在经历一些复杂的事情，你需要一个更持久的练习)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出上文这样的事情无法持久，选项B中的“These pleasures”是指像散步或吃一块巧克力这样简单的事情带来的快乐。故选项B“然而，这些快乐只是暂时的。”切合文意。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据前文“it’s worth learning about the ways that you can use writing to support your mental well-being. (学习如何用写作来支持你的精神健康是值得的)”以及后文“Use writing for mindfulness. (用写作来保持专注)”与“Another benefit to writing is its ability to clear your mind of worries, negative thoughts, or sources of pain. (写作的另一个好处是它能够清除你的担忧，消极的想法，或痛苦的来源)”可知，后文是讲写作有什么好处，也就是说为什么说笔的背后有真正的力量的原因。空格处起到承上启下的作用，提到写作可以支持你的精神健康，故选项C“笔的背后有真正的力量——以下是原因。”切合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Mindfulness is a tried-and-true technique for improving mental wellness, but can writing have the same effect? (正念是一种久经考验的改善心理健康的方法，但写作也能有同样的效果吗？)”可知，此处提问写作是否能改善心理健康，所以空格处应是对这个问题的回答，根据后文“By focusing on a particular moment and getting it all out there on the page, you can free yourself from any of the other concerns that are crowding your mind. This way, you can use writing as an approach to mindfulness and as a way of relieving stress. (把注意力集中在某个特定的时刻，把所有的事情都写在纸上，你就可以把自己从那些挤满你头脑的其他事情中解放出来。这样，你就可以把写作当作一种正念和缓解压力的方法)”可知，回答是肯定的，所以选项E“事实上，每天写作20分钟就可以起到作用了”切合文意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Another benefit to writing is its ability to clear your mind of worries, negative thoughts, or sources of pain. Clearing your brain of negative thoughts can be really tough work.(写作的另一个好处是它能清除你的忧虑、消极的想法或痛苦的来源。清除大脑中的消极想法确实是一项艰巨的工作)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，再次强调写作给思维恢复清晰带来的好处。故F选项“幸运的是，写作可以加速恢复思维清晰的过程”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据后文“People were more likely to talk to others about a painful event after writing about.it privately, which powerfully suggests that writing can indirectly lead to reaching out for support, which can mean even greater healing and relief.(人们在私下把一件痛苦的事情写下来后，更愿意和别人谈论这件事，这有力地表明，写作可以间接地导致寻求支持，这意味着更大的治愈和解脱)”可知，此处是讲写作是一种自我治愈的好方法，所以选项D“写作也是自我护理的最好方法。”切合文意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I dismissed Tucker not for poor performance, but because her quiet confidence threatened me.

I acknowledged that labeling Tucker “not a team player” was simply a(n) ... for her unwillingness to ‘flatten herself to fit our hive’”和后文“memory remaining but no longer pulsing with such fierce regret”可推知，因为写了忏悔信，悔恨的锐痛会有些许“缓和”。故选A项。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) ★在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式。 36.

He did not look at Prissy, nor did she wish him a happy New Year. Uncle Richard had not been on speaking terms with her or her father for eight years. When she had been a little girl they had been great friends; but that was before the quarrel. When Prissy had been nine years old, Richard and Irving Baker had quarreled over the division of a piece of property. The fault had been mainly on Richard’s side, and that very fact made him all the more stubborn. He had never spoken to his brother since, and he declared he never would. Prissy and her father felt very badly over it, but Uncle Richard seemed to have completely forgotten them. Richard told Mr. Miller that he was on business but that he didn’t like it.“Well I always like a good dinner on New Year’s,” said Richard. “It’s about the only way I can celebrate. I got everything ready last night, but I won’t get back before one o’clock, so I think I’ll have to put up with a cold bite.” After Richard had driven away, Prissy walked thoughtfully home. She had planned to spend a holiday with a new book. She did not even mean to cook dinner, for her father had had to go to the town that morning and would be gone the whole day. There was nobody else to cook dinner for. Prissy’s mother had died long ago. Suddenly an idea popped into Prissy’s head. Dared she? Oh, she never could! But he would never know. There would be plenty of time! Prissy had no trouble breaking into Uncle Richard’s house, for the woodshed door was unfastened. She tripped into the kitchen with rosy cheeks and mischief sparkling in her eyes. In a short time, the kitchen was full of appetizing odors. As the clock struck twelve, Prissy had the table set. Prissy was about to slip away when the door was pushed open. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the meal was over, he talked to Prissy kindly and politely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Prissy was about to slip away when the door was pushed open. It was his uncle Richard who opened the door! He was surprised to see that Prissy was in his house. “Why are you here, little Prissy?” “I am here to cook for you, Uncle Richard. Because I heard in Oscar Miller’s store that you have no time to cook.” “Oh!” Uncle Richard replied with a lump in his throat. With Prissy’s company, he went to the dining room, where he smelt the appetizing odors created by Prissy immediately. Then, they had a perfect dinner together. When the meal was over, he talked to Prissy kindly and politely. Overwhelmed by pleasure, Uncle Richard said, “How time flies! Eight years has passed. I always want to apologize but I am afraid that my brother wouldn’t accept it.” Hearing his explanation, Prissy knew she did a right thing. She invited Uncle David to come to her home the next day when her father would be at home, saying that love can eliminate all hatred. Prissy’s father was extremely happy to reunite with his brother. So, with love, all would turn out all right. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展线索展开，讲述了Prissy在商店遇到了8年未讲过话的叔叔David，听到叔叔和别人说自己新年一般吃一顿好的庆祝，但是这一年有事要忙，可能得吃冷饭。新年那天，Prissy一个人在家，爸爸出门一整天，因此不需要为爸爸做饭。想来想去，她决定去叔叔家帮他做好饭，然后偷偷离开。没想到被叔叔撞见。两个人一起吃了Prissy准备的美味。然后好好地聊了一下。Prissy得知叔叔想要道歉想要和解，因此邀请他第二天去自己家。她爸爸很开心见到弟弟。由此可见，爱可以消除仇恨。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Prissy正准备溜走时，门被推开。”可知，第一段可描写Prissy的叔叔撞见她之后，两个人之间的交流，并一起吃了Prissy准备的饭。 ②由第二段首句内容“吃完饭之后，他友好礼貌地和Prissy聊天。”可知，第二段可描写两人沟通之后，叔叔答应Prissy的邀请，去Prissy家拜访她爸爸，一家人和解。 2.续写线索：Prissy与叔叔商店偶遇——听到叔叔和他人对话内容——偷偷去帮叔叔煮饭——被叔叔撞见——和叔叔聊天——邀请叔叔来家做客 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回复，回答：reply/answer ②.陪伴：with Prissy’s company/in company with Prissy 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised/shocked ②.开心的：overwhelmed by pleasure/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Some involve treating patients, some involve managing people, and others are mainly about working with computers. Medical and Health Services Manager Health care is a big and complicated business. Providing care to patients is only part of it. There’s also the work of scheduling appointments, collecting payments, keeping medical records, and teaming up with other care providers. Educational Requirements: At least a bachelor’s degree in a field such as health administration or health management, plus some experience working in the health care field. Operations Research Analyst An operations research analyst’s job is to use mathematical and analytical methods to find the best strategies for distributing resources, managing supply chains, developing production schedules, and setting prices. Educational Requirements: Most entry-level jobs in this field require a bachelor’s degree, and some employers prefer candidates with a master’s degree. Common college majors for future operations research analysts include business, operations research, mathematics, engineering, and computer science. Web Developer There are several kinds of Web developers: front-end developers responsible for the appearance of the site and how users interact with it, back-end developers for the site’s framework, which makes it run smoothly and allows for changes when necessary and webmasters in charge of maintaining websites, keeping them updated and meeting users’ requirements. Educational Requirements: The education required for a job in Web development varies. Most Web developers have an associate’s degree in Web design or a related field. However, some employers hire Web developers with only a high school diploma for front-end development while others require a bachelor’s degree in a field like computer science, particularly for back-end development. 1. What can you study in college to be an operations research analyst? A. Market. B. Web design. C. Education. D. Engineering. 2. What can a high school graduate probably choose as a job? A. Front-end developers. B. Back-end developers. C. Operations Research Analyst. D. Medical and Health Services Manager. 3. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Employment. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Science. B What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine.Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at capturing the night sky. Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare. Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back — I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera — I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography. Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing — the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures. Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot？According to Batak.“With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.” The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries, ”says Batak. “The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.” 4. Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa? A. It has a small population. B. It has ideal weather conditions. C. It is free from light pollution. D. It has a magnificent landscape. 5. Which is required in both car racing and photography? A. Willpower. B. Teamwork. C. Bravery. D. Creativity. 6. What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer? A. Annoying. B. Disastrous. C. Favorable. D. Challenging. 7. Which may be a message behind the team’s photography work? A. Appreciating the night sky. B. Connecting various cultures. C. Removing racial boundaries. D. Protecting the environment. ★C Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (伪造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years. The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it. All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb (原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck’s team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14. The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time. 8. What does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Impressive. B. Acceptable. C. Expensive. D. Difficult. 9 How does radiocarbon dating work? A. By analyzing samples from artwork. B. By removing the smaller samples. C. By measuring the carbon-14 left. D. By testing the carbon in the sample. 10. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4? A. It produces more carbon-14. B. It helps identify fake paintings. C. it reduces carbon concentration. D. It has been stopped completely. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Paintings waiting to be identified B. Two fake paintings found in France C. New technology in painting becomes a hit D. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper D Home to reefs, sharks and many exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a unique reserve of biodiversity off the northeastern coast of Australia. If a proposal by the Australian government goes ahead, the region will become the world's largest marine protected area, with bans on fishing, mining and marine farming. The Coral Sea reserve will cover almost 990,000 square kilometers and stretch as far as 1,100 kilometers from the coast. Revealed by environment minister Tony Burke, the proposal will be the last in a series of proposed marine reserves around Australia's coast. But the plan attracts criticism from scientists and conservation groups claiming the government hasn't done enough in protecting the Coral Sea. They even point out only half of the Coral Sea reserve is proposed as a “no take” area, in which all fishing would be banned. But the world's largest existing marine reserve, established by the British government in the Indian Ocean, spans 554,000 km2 and is a no-take zone throughout. Some people argue more of the Coral Sea should receive this level of protection. The Australian government didn't respond to the criticism. But Robin Beaman, a marine geologist, says the reserve does “broadly protect the range of habitats”in the sea. “I can testify to the huge effort that government agencies and other organizations have made to understand the ecological values of this vast area,” he says. Reserves proposed earlier for Australia's southwestern coastal regions have also been criticized for not giving habitats adequate protection. Some scientists pointed out the proposals for the southwestern region had not been based on the “core science principles” of reserves — the protected regions were not representative of all the habitats in the region, they said. Critics say the southwestern reserve offers the greatest protection to the offshore areas where there is little threat to the environment, a controversy also leveled at the Coral Sea plan. 12. What do we learn from the passage about the Coral Sea? A. It is extremely rich in marine life. B. It is the biggest marine protected area. C. It remains largely undisturbed by humans. D. It is a unique reserve of endangered species. 13 What does the Australian government plan to do according to Tony Burke? A. Make a new proposal to protect the Coral Sea. B. Revise its conservation plan owing to criticisms. C. Upgrade the established reserves to protect marine life. D. Complete the series of marine reserves around its coast. 14.

He did not look at Prissy, nor did she wish him a happy New Year. Uncle Richard had not been on speaking terms with her or her father for eight years. When she had been a little girl they had been great friends; but that was before the quarrel. When Prissy had been nine years old, Richard and Irving Baker had quarreled over the division of a piece of property. The fault had been mainly on Richard’s side, and that very fact made him all the more stubborn. He had never spoken to his brother since, and he declared he never would. Prissy and her father felt very badly over it, but Uncle Richard seemed to have completely forgotten them. Richard told Mr. Miller that he was on business but that he didn’t like it.“Well, I always like a good dinner on New Year’s,” said Richard. “It’s about the only way I can celebrate. I got everything ready last night, but I won’t get back before one o’clock, so I think I’ll have to put up with a cold bite.” After Richard had driven away, Prissy walked thoughtfully home. She had planned to spend a holiday with a new book. She did not even mean to cook dinner, for her father had had to go to the town that morning and would be gone the whole day. There was nobody else to cook dinner for. Prissy’s mother had died long ago. Suddenly an idea popped into Prissy’s head. Dared she? Oh, she never could! But he would never know. There would be plenty of time! Prissy had no trouble breaking into Uncle Richard’s house, for the woodshed door was unfastened. She tripped into the kitchen with rosy cheeks and mischief sparkling in her eyes. In a short time, the kitchen was full of appetizing odors. As the clock struck twelve, Prissy had the table set. Prissy was about to slip away when the door was pushed open. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the meal was over, he talked to Prissy kindly and politely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
