We can decorate this frame and put your best photos in it. Then we'll add small items that represent special moments." Emily and Jake exchanged glances - this could work! Over the next two days, they worked together after school. Emily carefully selected photos while Jake painted the wooden frame in their dad's favorite blue. Their mother helped them attach small mementos inside the box. Father's Day morning arrived. As Mr. Thompson came downstairs for breakfast, he found the dining table decorated with balloons and a large gift box. "What's all this?" he asked. "Happy Father's Day!" Emily and Jake shouted together. Mr. Thompson carefully opened the box. His eyes widened as he lifted out the memory frame, turning it to see all the photos and items. When he discovered the letters, his hands trembled slightly as he read them. Emily's letter recalled how he stayed up all night helping her with a science project. Mr. Thompson pulled both children into a tight hug. "This is the best gift I've ever received," he said.

Onyeiwu had loved art in high school, but sacrificed taking classes in favor of rigorous courses that she felt would strengthen her college applications. The idea of creating again was irresistible. 　 “As I nestled my hand onto a neatly kneaded lump of clay on the potter’s wheel, chaos ensued,” Onyeiwu told an audience at Sanders Theatre. “Slip started moving everywhere, splattering across my limbs. But finally I found my center and got everything under control. I danced with the clay in that moment, directing it but also listening to its energy, spinning and turning and moving in a continuous rotation.” 　　Now an Art, Film & Visual Studies and Social Anthropology joint concentrator, Onyeiwu has spent hours honing her skills in the Ceramics Program through the Office for the Arts (OFA). 　　Many students had similar experiences to share at the OFA’s 50th birthday celebration this month, an evening filled with storytelling and performances in music, dance, poetry, and more. Students, administrators, and alumni took turns reflecting on their involvement with the arts on campus. 　　“The OFA is an idea and a promise,” said Office for the Arts Director Fiona Coffey. “The OFA is a declaration that the arts are not ancillary, but vital to a Harvard education. The OFA is confirmation that knowledge and pedagogy are produced in traditional academic classrooms and also in art studios, in music rehearsal rooms, and on stages.” President Alan Garber spoke about how his childhood interest in photography expanded to a love for films after he got a job working at a movie theater in high school while saving up to buy a camera. “I think that’s something that art does for all of us,” Garber said. “The aperture, once open, tends to widen, tends to let in more work done in more ways, to include more artists. Each encounter causes us to see and appreciate the world in a different way, and to see and appreciate people in different ways.” 24. Why was Tiffany Onyeiwu initially drawn to the ceramics studio? A. She wanted to avoid academic pressure. B. She hoped to join a student performance group. C. She needed credits for her anthropology degree. D. She missed creating art after focusing on college preparation. 25. How did Onyeiwu describe her first experience with the potter’s wheel? A. Calm and controlled. B. Messy but ultimately rewarding. C. Technically flawless. D. Discouraging and chaotic. 26. How does the OFA integrate art into Harvard’s education? A. By requiring all students to take art courses. B. By hosting annual photography competitions. C. By prioritizing studio work over academic research. D. By confirming art’s role alongside traditional classrooms. 27. How does Garber’s story about photography reflect the OFA’s mission? A. It prioritizes film over other art forms. B. It shows art’s role in career preparation. C. It illustrates how art broadens perspectives. D. It warns against neglecting technical skills. （原创）C https://www.sciencealert.com/first-ever-amber-discovered-in-antarctica-shows-rainforest-existed-near-south-pole Scientists in Germany and the UK have now discovered amber in West Antarctica for the first time – the fossilized 'blood' of ancient coniferous（针叶树）trees that once grew on Earth's southernmost continent between 83 and 92 million years ago. Along with fossils of roots, pollen, and spores, the amber provides some of the best evidence yet that a mid-Cretaceous, rainforest existed near the South Pole, and that this prehistoric environment was "dominated by conifers", similar to forests in New Zealand and Patagonia today. The unearthing of amber in Antarctica pulls back the continent's current icy exterior to reveal an ancient habitat once warm and wet enough to host resin(树脂)-producing trees. In the mid-Cretaceous, those trees would have had to survive through months of total darkness over winter. Before this discovery, scientists had only found Cretaceous amber deposits as far south as the Otway Basin in Australia and the Tupuangi Formation in New Zealand. "It was very thrilling to realize that, at some point in their history, all seven continents had climatic conditions allowing resin-producing trees to survive," says marine geologist Johann Klages from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany. "Our goal now is to learn more about the forest ecosystem – if it burned down, if we can find traces of life included in the amber. This discovery allows a journey to the past in yet another more direct way." Scientists have unearthed fossilized wood and leaves in Antarctica since the early 19th century, but many of these discoveries date back hundreds of millions of years to when the southern supercontinent Gondwana existed. As Antarctica drifted away from Australia and South America toward the South Pole, it's not entirely clear what happened to its forests. After several years of analysis, Klages and a team of researchers announced that they had found a web of fossilized roots that dated back to the mid-Cretaceous. Under the microscope, they also identified evidence of pollen and spores（孢子）. That same drilling has now offered up concrete proof that resin-producing trees once existed in Antarctica. The amber was probably preserved and fossilized because high water levels quickly covered the tree resin, protecting it from ultraviolet radiation and oxidation. Piece by miniscule piece, scientists are gradually putting together a picture of what Antarctica's forests once used to look like and how they functioned 90 million years ago. 28.What does the amber provide proof for? A. Ancient volcanic activity in Antarctica. B. The existence of a mid-Cretaceous rainforest near the South Pole. C. The history of human exploration in Antarctica. D. The movement of the southern supercontinent Gondwana. 29. What does Johann Klages find exciting about the discovery? A. The possibility of finding life traces in the amber. B. The challenge of drilling into the Antarctic seafloor. C. The opportunity to study the mid-Cretaceous period. D. The fact that all continents once had resin-producing trees. 30. What do the underlined words "putting together a picture" mean in the last paragraph? A. Creating a physical image or model of the forests. B. Piecing together a historical account of the forests' decline. C. Assembling information on forests' appearance and operation. D. Rebuilding the forests from fragments of amber and other materials. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe the process of amber formation. B.

A team led by Arizona State University not only tested the effects of regular vinegar consumption but also looked at metabolic activity – the chemical processes that convert food into energy and other biological materials – to look for reasons for the benefits seen with vinegar. A significant boost in the levels of nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) was noticed across the study participants who took liquid vinegar each day. The nutrient has previously been linked to anti-inflammatory effects. "This data provides additional support that daily vinegar ingestion over four weeks can improve self-reported depression symptomology in generally healthy adults and that alterations in [vitamin B3] metabolism may factor into this improvement," write Arizona State University dietician Haley Barrong and colleagues in their published paper. The trial was completed by a total of 28 overweight but otherwise healthy adults, who were split into two groups: one group taking two tablespoons of red wine vinegar twice daily, and the other group taking a daily pill with a very small amount of vinegar in it. Across the course of the four-week experiment, the participants were asked to answer questions across two standard mental health surveys: the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) questionnaire, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Although there was no significant difference between the groups on the CES-D, on the PH9-Q, there was an average drop of 42 percent in depressive symptoms for the high vinegar level group compared with 18 percent for the control group taking the vinegar pill. There are some limitations: it was a small sample size, the patients had low-level depression to begin with, and the improvements in PHQ-9 symptoms were not significant in a secondary analysis that adjusted for baseline survey scores. But Barrong and her team say the findings warrant a closer look at the relationship. "Depressive disorders are the most prevalent mental health conditions in the world, and future research will examine the effects of vinegar administration in clinically depressed or at-risk populations, " write the researchers. 32.

It is unrelated to the study's findings on depression. C. It isn’t connected with outcomes that fight inflammation. D.

Studying the long-term effects of vinegar on mental health. C. Examining the effects of vinegar in clinically depressed populations. D. Comparing different types of vinegar for their effects on depression. 35.What is the best title for the text? A. The Impact of Vinegar on Metabolic Activity. B.

However, children and teens have not confined themselves to the role of mere consumers of literature. ____36____ Who better to tell stories about how a young person might process emotions than young people themselves? Teenagers and children are particularly tuned in to how transformational or devastating certain events can be, differing from adults, who may see these events through the lens of many years of experience. It might be hard to lose a friend at any age, but when you’re young, it can feel like the world is ending. ____37____ This applies equally to other intense emotions such as grief, envy, and freedom. Christopher Paolini, the author of the renowned book Eragon and its sequels, holds the Guinness World Record for the youngest author of a bestselling book series. ____38____He Paolini self-published Eragon at the age of nineteen, although he began writing it when he was merely fifteen. Even as a teenager, Paolini created a work that resonated with millions of readers worldwide. S. E. Hinton is another notable teenage author. Although her groundbreaking novel, The Outsiders, was published when she was eighteen, she wrote it at the age of sixteen. ____39____ Fortunately, Hinton persevered, and her book has since captivated countless readers, including critics and other authors of young adult literature. ____40____ However, it is not surprising that even at a young age, children possess insights that deserve acknowledgment. Providing children with the tools to express themselves has led to these remarkable creations, and it is hoped that these expressions will continue to receive — and perhaps even gain — support in the future. A. There have been even younger authors, as well. B. They have restricted themselves to the role of readers only. C. As adults, it is easy to underestimate or overlook children's big emotions. D.

Sixteen-year-old Emily Thompson shoved her history textbook into her already overflowing backpack, her mind racing about the upcoming weekend. As she walked through the crowded hallway, her younger brother Jake, a freshman, caught up with her. His face was flushed from the day's activities, but he was energetic, as always. "Hey, have you thought about Dad's Father's Day gift yet?" Jake asked, adjusting the straps of his backpack that seemed a size too big for his slender frame. Emily sighed, her shoulders sagging slightly under the weight of her backpack and the thought of yet another gift to buy. "Not really. We always just get him a tie or a coffee mug. I want to do something special this year." Jake's eyes lit up with excitement. "What if we make something? Like a scrapbook of memories?" He had always been the creative one. Emily considered this, her eyes softening as she thought about their father, a hardworking accountant, who always cherished handmade gifts the most. "That could work. But we only have three days until Sunday." That evening, the siblings spread out craft supplies on the dining table, which was already cluttered with homework and school projects. Emily carefully printed photos from their family vacations - Disneyland last summer, camping in Yellowstone, and their dad teaching Jake to ride a bike. The memories brought a warm smile to her face. Jake brought out colored paper, stickers, and markers, his hands moving quickly as he sorted through the materials. "Let's make a timeline from when we were babies to now," Emily suggested, her eyes shining with a newfound enthusiasm. They worked for hours, laughing and reminiscing as they arranged the photos and wrote captions. But by 10 pm, disaster struck. Jake accidentally spilled grape juice on half the pages. The sticky liquid ruined their carefully arranged photos, the vibrant colors now smeared and the memories blurred. "Great! Now we have nothing!" Emily snapped, her frustration evident as she threw a ruined photo on the table. Jake's earlier enthusiasm replaced with disappointment. "Maybe we should just buy him a gift card like everyone else." Their mother, Mrs. Thompson, hearing the chaos, came downstairs. Seeing the mess and their disappointed faces, she smiled knowingly. "Having trouble with your project?" 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mrs. Thompson examined their work. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Father's Day morning arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Sheet1 高二下期期中考试英语原创试卷 双向细目表 题号 题型 分值 知识点（考查内容） 预估难度系数 21 阅读理解A 2.5 细节理解（推荐早上爬山的原因：避开炎热和午后阵雨） 0.68 22 阅读理解A 2.5 细节理解（九拱桥的特殊之处：殖民时期铁路建筑的代表） 0.65 23 阅读理解A 2.5 细节理解（斯里兰卡美食的风味特点：新鲜且辛辣） 0.62 24 阅读理解B 2.5 细节理解（Tiffany被陶瓷工作室吸引的原因：想念创作艺术） 0.66 25 阅读理解B 2.5 细节理解（第一次使用陶轮的经历描述：混乱但最终有收获） 0.6 26 阅读理解B 2.5 细节理解（OFA如何将艺术融入教育：确认艺术与传统课堂并重） 0.64 27 阅读理解B 2.5 推理判断（Garber的故事反映OFA使命：艺术拓宽视野） 0.58 28 阅读理解C 2.5 细节理解（琥珀提供的证据：白垩纪中期南极附近存在雨林） 0.65 29 阅读理解C 2.5 细节理解（Klages感到兴奋的原因：所有大陆都曾有产树脂树木） 0.62 30 阅读理解C 2.5 词义猜测（putting together a picture的含义：拼凑森林样貌与功能信息） 0.55 31 阅读理解C 2.5 写作目的（告知读者南极琥珀发现及其意义） 0.6 32 阅读理解D 2.5 细节理解（每日食用醋的潜在效果：改善抑郁症状） 0.66 33 阅读理解D 2.5 推理判断（烟酰胺水平提升的意义：与改善存在间接联系） 0.58 34 阅读理解D 2.5 细节理解（未来研究建议：在临床抑郁人群中检验醋的效果） 0.62 35 阅读理解D 2.5 标题概括（每日饮醋与抑郁症状缓解） 0.6 36 七选五 2.5 语篇衔接（青少年不仅是消费者，也是文学作者） 0.62 37 七选五 2.5 语篇衔接（成年人容易低估青少年的强烈情绪） 0.58 38 七选五 2.5 语篇衔接（Paolini是年轻作者捕捉非凡之处的典型） 0.6 39 七选五 2.5 语篇衔接（Hinton的故事灵感来自写作课不及格之后） 0.56 40 七选五 2.5 语篇衔接（存在更年轻的作者） 0.64 41 完形填空 1 动词辨析（won a contest：赢得比赛） 0.65 42 完形填空 1 名词辨析（design：设计（年鉴封面）） 0.62 43 完形填空 1 动词辨析（noticed：老师们注意到） 0.66 44 完形填空 1 名词辨析（margins：作业和笔记的页边空白处） 0.58 45 完形填空 1 动词辨析（pair with：与某人组队） 0.6 46 完形填空 1 名词辨析（guidance counselor：指导顾问） 0.68 47 完形填空 1 形容词辨析（wrapped：包装好的盒子） 0.65 48 完形填空 1 动词辨析（open：打开盒子） 0.7 49 完形填空 1 名词辨析（supplies：美术用品） 0.64 50 完形填空 1 短语辨析（breaking down：情绪崩溃） 0.55 51 完形填空 1 动词辨析（insisted：坚持要知道是谁） 0.6 52 完形填空 1 动词辨析（create：创作艺术） 0.62 53 完形填空 1 副词辨析（eventually：最终） 0.66 54 完形填空 1 动词辨析（graduated：毕业时获得称号） 0.58 55 完形填空 1 形容词辨析（misty：泪眼模糊） 0.6 56 语法填空 1.5 非谓语动词（related：相关的书籍） 0.62 57 语法填空 1.5 冠词（a key crossroad：一个关键十字路口） 0.65 58 语法填空 1.5 非谓语动词（marking：现在分词作伴随状语） 0.58 59 语法填空 1.5 时态语态（was held：被举行） 0.6 60 语法填空 1.5 名词复数（representatives：代表们） 0.66 61 语法填空 1.5 词性转换（cultural：形容词修饰heritage） 0.64 62 语法填空 1.5 情态动词被动（cannot be separated：不能被分离） 0.58 63 语法填空 1.5 介词（affection for：对……的热爱） 0.6 64 语法填空 1.5 副词（highly：高度评价） 0.62 65 语法填空 1.5 定语从句（which：指代敦煌文化） 0.56 应用文 写作（应用文） 15 邮件写作：请求指导辩论赛（主题、具体事项、表达期待与感谢） 0.6 读后续写 写作（读后续写） 25 情节发展、语言连贯、情感表达、逻辑衔接（父亲节礼物的制作与意外及解决） 0.55 $
