DANUBE CYCLE PATH Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile joumey.However,its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau,cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia,with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train. C2C(Sea-to-Sea)ROUTE Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian's Wall,this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines.Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset,and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle. CANAL DU MIDI This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind,but its tree- lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle.Exodus Travels'tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach. CROSS CAPE This leg-testing jourey crosses the southem tip of the African continent.Departing from Plettenberg Bay,the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem,passes historic towns,and eventually reaches Stellenbosch,the heart of the Cape Winelands. Distance Typical Duration Official Resource DANUBE CYCLE 250 miles About 8 days danube-cycle-path.com PATH C2C(Sea-to-Sea) 150 miles About 6 days c2c-guide.co.uk ROUTE CANAL DU MIDI 120 miles About 5 days exodus co.uk CROSS CAPE 450 miles About 14 days capecycleroutes.co.za 高二英语第3页共10页 21.What is the primary purpose of the text? A.To advertise cycling tours. B.To contrast cycling difficulties. C.To explore cycling path history. D.To feature distinct cycling routes 22.Which best suits cyclists seeking the most physically demanding challenge? A.DANUBE CYCLE PATH. B.C2C (Sea-to-Sea)ROUTE. C.CANAL DU MIDI. D.CROSS CAPE. 23.What is a common characteristic of all these trips? A.Being global cultural treasure. B.Offering transport flexibility. C.Integrating nature and culture. D.Focusing on history and tradition. B Our lives changed tracks the day our daughter was born.My wife and I felt settled in the United Kingdom-we'd even bought a house 6 months earlier-but the arrival of our daughter forced a moment of reflection.We wondered whether we should move back to our native Brazil.I remember looking down at our newbom baby and thinking about how different her life would be there.In our native country,we'd be closer to our family and culture.But in the United Kingdom,I had the funding and lab resources I needed for my costly and highly specialized research program.Would such a move sink my career? Several events over the next few months nudged us further in the same direction.We heard that new professor positions had opened up at a university in our hometown,in departments that matched both of our research programs.Then,a few weeks later,I received a call from my brother,who told me that our father had passed away.A deep sadness made me feel that I was losing precious time with my loved ones. There was no doubt it was the right time to return to Brazil.We applied for the professorships and both received offers.It felt'like our personal and professional lives were falling into place.It wasn't easy getting started with my research in Brazil.However,I didn't receive any startup funding for my lab and I had to share equipment with other professors.Nine years later,I still haven't been able to perform the kind of experiments that U.K.funding would have allowed. But looking back,I have no complaint.We've been able to have big meals with our extended family on weekends.We had a second child,and our kids are growing up close to their cousins who are around the same age.We are living the lives we wanted to live-working on rewarding research while staying true to what we feel is best for ourselves and for our family. 24.What is the root reason for the family's moving back home? A.Eagerness to live in their culture. B.Loss of a beloved family member. C.Concerns about their girl's growth. D.Promising career choices in the future. 25.What does the underlined phrase"nudged us further"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Reduced our anxieties. B.Strengthened our determination. C.Weighed the strengths and weaknesses. D.Increased our uncertainty. 26.What is the author's attitude toward life back at home? 高二英语第4页共10页 A.Content. B.Regretful. C.Uncertain. D.Disapproving. 27.What is the main idea of the text? A.Where there's love,there's home. B.When trouble comes,it's your family that supports you. C.East or west,home is the best. D.Your children need your presence more than your presents. C Carried by the wind,dust particles (from places such as the Sahara Desert can float halfway around the world before settling to the ground.As the plastics abandoned by humans break down into tiny pieces in the environment,they,too,travel through the atmosphere.Now scientists are a step closer to understanding how these microplastics travel in the globe,both locally and on long-distance flights. Researchers spent more than a year collecting microplastics from 11 national parks and wilderness areas in the western U.S.They examined the particles that settled on dry days and those that fell along with rain or snow.In addition to making clear how microplastics move around,the results,published on Thursday in Science,reveal the seriousness of the problem:more than 1 million kilograms of microplastics-the weight of 120 million to 300 million plastic water bottles-fall on protected lands in the country's western region each year. The new findings add to scientists'concern over microplastics pollution's potential impacts on the environment and human health."We're not supposed to breathe in this material,"says Steve Allen, a micro-plastics researcher at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland,who was not involved in the new study."Plastics in the environment carry all sorts of pesticides ()heavy metals and all the other chemicals that we've made over time,"he adds."They're going to carry them directly into our lungs.” Since their discovery in oceans in the 1970s,microplastics-which can be as large as a grain of rice or smaller than a particle of dust-have been found nearly everywhere researchers have looked: in cities,in Arctic snow,on remote mountaintops.Their presence in areas distant from the place where humans live has pointed to them being carried by winds. 28.What do the scientists further understand now? A.How plastic particles travel on the wind. B.Why it is hard for plastics to break down. C.How dust particles are spreading through the wind D.Why Sahara Desert is expanding to the south of Africa. 29.What do we know about the new study? A.The results showed the amount of microplastics is huge. B.Researchers collected microplastics across the U.S. C.Numerous plastic water bottles were found each year. D.Researchers focused on plastic particles in dry days. 30.What does Steve Allen say about plastics? A.They should be recycled. 高二英语第5页共10页 B.They do harm to weather. C.They carry harmful chemicals to human lungs. D.They can be used to make all sorts of pesticides. 31.What would be the best title for the text? A.Plastics Bring About Debate B.Microplastics Are Falling from the Sky C.Dust Particles Are Harmful to Our Lungs D.The Environment Is Threatened by Plastics D In work and in life,we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success.Yet after years of studying originals,I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides.It's true the early bird gets the worm,but we can't forget the early worm gets caught. Recently,researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea:procrastination()might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store.When they started the task immediately,they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store.When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games,they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility.Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity.Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task,you buy yourself time for divergent()thinking rather than"seizing and freezing"on one particular strategy. Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity,but it can be a resource for creativity.Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution's efficiency fever.In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination:one meant laziness;the other meant waiting for the right time. In a classic study,marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands,comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets.The result was striking:pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers. Settlers are often labelled as copycats,but this stereotype misses the mark.Instead of meeting the existing demand,they wait until they're ready to introduce something new.They're often slow to enter because they're working on revolutionary products,services,or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles,the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972,which mostly featured basic sports games.A settler,Nintendo,acquired the Odyssey's distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System.It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller,advanced characters, and interactive role-playing. 32.Which of the following best shows Shin's finding? A.He who hesitates is lost. B.More speed,less effect. C.Strike while the iron is hot. D.No pains,no gains. 33.What's the purpose of Paragraph 3? A.To support a viewpoint. B.To correct a misconception. C.To introduce a practice. D.To promote a phenomenon. 高二英语第6页共10页 34.What plays a key role in settlers'success based on Golder's findings? A.Doing effective marketing B.Mastering strategic timing. C.Employing high technology. D.Breaking existing rules. 35.Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A.Seize the Day:The Early Bird Principlel B.The War of Innovation:Pioneers VS.Settlers C.Unlocking Originality:Please Wait a Moment. D.The Secret to Success:Delaying or Not Delaying? 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Brand New You We're always told that no one likes a show-off,but a little bit of boasting (does us all the world of good. Once a year I teach a class on building personal brand to a group of women in the creative industries.At the start I ask each of the attendees how they feel about the phrase "personal brand". 36.Most of them will tell me it feels too much like boasting.By the end of the session,however, there's a change in mood and it always comes down to one key point that I think everyone should know.So I'm sharing it here! It's really quite simple:acknowledging your strengths does not mean you boast yourself.37 But then we do an exercise that proves my point.I put the women in pairs and give them five minutes each to talk about things they love and are good at.When I give the instructions I am greeted by looks of horror.Five minutes?!Only talking about themselves?!What if the other person thinks they're boasting? 38.So is sharing it with others.And yet it's so lovely to hear someone else share their passion.The room is filled with connection,laughter and joy.And so I tell them,and now you,if you only take one thing away from this workshop let it be this:sharing what you love and are good at-your passion-with someone else,never comes across as boasting.39. And if you want to feel really great today,ask someone to share what they love and are good at with you.If they only talk about what they love,encourage them to tell you why they're good at it. 40.Maybe we'll all feel better for it. A.It is a form of connection and a gift B.Almost everyone feels uneasy about it C.Many people are impressed by your passion D.Boast your strengths by building your personal brand E.Try to create a"boasting culture"in our pride-avoidant society F.When I say this in the workshop,there are always raised eyebrows G.Owning what we are good at is an unfamiliar concept in our culture 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 高二英语第7页共10页 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 When Sarah joined my third-grade class as an8-year-old with dyslexia(阅读障碍)，she'd sit at her desk and avoid eye contact.I didn't realize how her learning difference would 41 my teaching.
