The Lake District The Lake District is England's largest National Park.Stretching across the North-West,it's home to the nation's highest mountains and deepest lakes.This district is very famous for its food.There are seven Michelin-starred restaurants.Besides,cosy,traditional and hearty pubs are plentiful in the popular towns.The romance and charm of the lakes have inspired many lake poets in their creativity. The Roman Baths The Roman Baths are one of the finest examples of preserved ancient thermal spas in the world,and the only official hot spring in Britain.During the Roman Invasion in 50 CE,they dedicated the spring to a healing goddess.Rich or poor,they thought this spring would rid them of their illness,believing it to be blessed by the Goddess. Westminster Palace and Big Ben The most iconic architectural structures of not only London but the whole of the UK are Westminster Palace and Big Ben.It was originally built as a royal palace about 1000 years ago.During Henry VIII's reign,he gave it over to parliament.Big Ben has enormous cultural significance for Britain.Its clock rings are broadcast on television every New Year's Eve to count down and welcome the New Year. Stonehenge Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments.It was built 5000 years ago as a ditch (and an earthwork,and the stones now stand within it.In the 1960s,an astronomer theorized that it might be a calendar since you could see the perfect view of the summer sunrise hitting the stones. People will not fully understand it until they are bathed in its remarkable mystery 21.What is a highlight of the Lake District? A.Ancient royal buildings. B.Ancient thermal springs.

D.Stonehenge B After seeing how many seniors struggle with loneliness,Jacob Cramer wanted to make a difference -one heartfelt letter at a time.What started as a simple gesture has now grown into a nationwide movement. When his grandfather passed away in 2014,middle-schooler Jacob Cramer started volunteering at a local senior living community to ease his sadness.He quickly made friends with some people living there. He really liked an energetic elderly lady named Cynthia."I often feel so lonely,Jacob,"Cynthia once told Jacob,explaining that her niece calls occasionally but she gets very few visitors and never receives letters in the mail.Jacob's heart broke,and he decided to do something to help Cynthia.So he wrote his friend a letter and read it to her.Cynthia was full of joy as her tears flowed.Jacob realized that many seniors were on their own."Can I help them feel less alone?"he wondered.Inspired,Jacob called communities to find more seniors who would like to receive letters,and began writing and mailing out hundreds of letters. After one nursing home sent Jacob photos of residents smiling with their letters,he wanted to do more.So in 2015,with help from his parents,Jacob started the nonprofit Love for Our Elders.Over the years,his organization has drawn volunteers from around the country to write 800,000 handwritten letters.At first,the letters were not written to anyone in particular and mass letter-sending was adopted. But starting in 2021,people could write letters to specific seniors featured on Love for Our Elders,which gives an introduction to each resident's situation and interests.Letter-writers can then mail their letters- which typically include jokes,a little information about themselves and inspiring messages-directly to the seniors'families,who will pass the letters along to the elderly people. "This project has shown me how kind people can be,"says Jacob,now 24 and a Yale University graduate."It's not just a letter-it's something very powerful." 24.Why did Jacob take up volunteer work at first? A.To meet new friends. B.To relieve his own grief. C.To develop social skills. D.To help lonely seniors out. 25.What can we leam about Cynthia? A.She has little daily company. B.She often writes to her niece. C.She works in the community. D.She loves reading old letters. 26.How did Jacob's activity develop after 2015? A.It mainly served local nursing homes. B.It focused on taking photos of elders. C.It attracted more helpers nationwide. D.It stopped regular mass letter-sending. 韩城市高二英语期末试题-4-（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 27.What is Jacob's attitude towards the project now? A.It needs more government support. B.It has made him a national celebrity. C.It carries meaning beyond the letters. D.It proves pretty hard to keep running. C There are many popular genres for books and movies,including action and adventure.Yet science fiction is far too often overlooked. Many people associate sci-fi only with parallel universes,aliens and space travel,viewing it as something distant and hard to relate to.This shallow mindset stops them from seeing its true value-sci-fi is actually closely connected to real life. A large number of Gen Z feel unsatisfied with traditional social frameworks.They also hold deep concemns over technology,climate change,public health and other pressing social issues.Worries about current problems and future trends have left many feeling pessimistic.To break away from such despondency,we need creative imagination to drive positive change,and science fiction is an excellent way to nurture this ability. Edward Finn,founding director of the Center for Science and the Imagination,stresses the power of imagination.“It is a skill we can develop both individually and collectively.It fuels resilience（韧性)， empathy and innovation-things we all value greatly,Finn explains. He also points out that sci-fi,which invites us to picture alternative realities,plays a key role in social progress."Science fiction helps us face the present by encouraging imagination.By exploring possible futures,we can look beyond current troubles and figure out what kind of world and people we want to become. This imaginative ability is especially valuable when it comes to technology.It has become an essential part of modern life,with smart devices and home technology developing at an incredible speed.As technology advances,humans grow increasingly reliant on it.Sci-fi encourages us to reflect on its hidden risks,think ahead and work out solutions to potential troubles. From social conflicts to technological challenges,sci-fi offers us a new perspective to examine the present and explore ways to reform and advance society.By broadening our imagination,it equips us with the power to build a better world. 28.What do many people wrongly think of sci-fi? A.It lacks creative ideas. B.It has too many genres C.It describes real life. D.It is unapproachable. 29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "despondency"in paragraph 3? A.Courage. B.Hopelessness. C.Agreement. D.Threat. 30.How does imagination benefit people according to Finn? A.It promotes fine human qualities. B.It speeds up new devices'creation. C.It reduces hidden tech risks. D.It solves all troubles effectively. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Gen Z faces many social issues. B.Social reforms encounter great barriers. C.Sci-fi helps build a better future D.Imagination relieves people's pessimism. 韩城市高二英语期末试题-5-（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 0 Beneath the ocean's surface lies a truly secret world of light.While bioluminescence-the ability of living things to produce their own light-has long interested scientists,a lesser-known phenomenon called biofluorescence(生物荧光)is now stealing the spotlight. Biofluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green,red,or orange.Unlike bioluminescence,which produces light through chemical reactions,biofluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.This natural light show is not just for beauty;it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs of the Pacific,researchers observed corals sending out green light under blue light. "It's a dance of partnership guided by light,explains marine biologist Dr.Kenji Nakamura.Without this interaction,coral bleaching-a major threat to coral ecosystems-would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid（短尾乌賊).When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink.The sudden burst of light confuses attackers,buying the squid precious seconds to escape.Dr.Emily Carter,who led the study,notes,"This is evolution's version of a 窃 smoke screen-but far more shining." The discovery of GFP一green fluorescent protein（绿色荧光蛋白)一in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science.Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells,making invisible processes visible.Today,it lights up nerve cells in brain studies,helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer's."GFP is a window into the brain's hidden workings,"says brain scientist Dr.Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying biofluorescence to develop sustainable technologies.For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting,and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging."Nature's designs are blueprints for human innovation,"says materials scientist Dr.Raj Patel. Yet mysteries remain.Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered,their 些 purposes still unclear.As submarines dive deeper,each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show,proving that the ocean's depths still guard ancient secrets. 32.How is biofluorescence different from bioluminescence? A.It creates dark ink for defense. B.It cures serious illnesses. C.It relies on chemical changes. D.It needs outside light. 33.What can be known from the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A.They involve light-based survival strategies. B.They use same natural glowing substances. C.They show attackers are often confused by bright light. D.They explain how light affects whole ocean ecosystems 34.Which field makes use of GFP? A.Energy and food production. B.Brain and medical research. C.Deep-sea biological survey. D.New species observation work. 韩城市高二英语期末试题-6-（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 38 35.What does the last paragraph imply? D A.New fish species are easy to find. B.Old secrets have been explained. 38 5 C.All sea creatures can glow brightly. D.More ocean findings lie ahead.

Sitting on a 4-meter-tall stone platform,the pagoda is 67.31 meters in height.It is higher than a 20- storey building in modern times.The base floor of the pagoda is 30.27 meters in diameter.37 Seen from the outside,the pagoda appears to be five storeys.However,it has nine storeys (with four hidden storeys inside the pagoda).On each storey,there are two circles of wooden pillars (to 令 support the upper storey.38 Among the pillars,there are also many diagonal braces and short columns to enhance the stability and shock resistance of the pagoda. A lot of dougongs are used to connect various pillars and crossbeams.Dougong is a system of brackets in Chinese architecture,wooden square blocks inserted (between the top of a column and a crossbeam.39 The connection works are completed through the Chinese mortise and tenon joint structure.The Chinese mortise and tenon joint structure can bear a large load and it allows certain deformation,thus it can reduce the influence of earthquakes,and this structure is the main reason why the pagoda has survived numerous earthquakes through nearly a thousand years. 40 Besides the leaning,some wooden pillars and beams are decayed ()So tourists are not allowed to go up the pagoda.Please help protect this ancient pagoda during your visit. 御 A.There is a legend about this architecture. B.The whole pagoda weighs about 7,400 metric tons. C.The outer circle has 24 wooden pillars,while the inner one has 8. D.At present,the pagoda is leaning towards the north at an angle of over 15.

Then there's me.I'd never been involved in community service.Instead,I spent my time and money buying snacks,dining out,watching TV and movies,etc. 韩城市高二英语期末试题-9-（共10页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP That changed one evening last winter when Emma called me.She told me she needed my help and then asked what I would do the next evening.I replied briefly that I wanted to see a film. "But David,tomorrow I need your help for several hours at my clothing center,"Emma continued. "I had a family who signed up to help this week,but they've got the flu.My husband and I can't run the place alone."I hesitated,thinking I might not be able to help since I had never been to her clothing center before.But Emma insisted,saying that the next evening she needed me to boldly go where I had never gone before.Since my friend was desperate,I had to agree. Al 6:45 the next evening,I showed up at the clothing center in an old brick building on Main Street. "Thank you,"said Emma when I arrived."It's really simple.My husband and I will manage the actual clothing room;we just need you to run the welcome table by the door.Have people line up,make sure they know what they need,give them a bag,and then we'll take them in one at a time.In the past few weeks,we've got a ton of donations of clothes,shoes,gloves,etc.,so we should be able to help many people." The directions seemed clear enough;I figured I could handle it.How many people in my town were going to show up on a snowy Wednesday night for free clothes anyway?At 7:00 pm,Emma unlocked the front door. 注意： (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。 Looking out,I was surprised by the number of people who were coming in.
