Nakashima had a clear goal.He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation,because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood,sometimes from his own property.Later,he traveled to seek out English oak,Persian walnut,African zebra wood.He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down.Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots (and cracks instead of perfect boards.These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life. He never tailed to oreate an object that was both useful and beautiful.One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter Mira to use when she sat at the table for meals.The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions.Another famous piece,the Conoid chair,has two legs supported by blade-like feet. Always,Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful,marked by simplicity that revealed his love for the wood. As the years passed,Nakashima's reputation grew and his works received many awards.His children Mira and Kevin,now adults,joined the team of craftspeople in their father's studio. Nakashima's dream of combining work and family has come true. 11.Why was Nakashima called a national treasure? A.Because he loved both his work and family. B.Because his works showed high artistic value C.Because the wood materials he used were precious. D.Because he spent most of his life making furniture. 12.Which of the following best describes Nakashima? A.Generous and outgoing. B.Ambitious and friendly. C.Creative and modest. D.Honest and simple. 13.Which of the following is true of Mira and Kevin? A.They had an art studio of their own. B.They lacked the ability to create art works. C.They developed different hobbies from their father. D.They continued their father's woodworking career. B In the global effort to fight climate change,scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places-including the soil beneath our feet.A recent study published in Nature highlights a 第1页共4页 a^“6"1.%。a 可只 promising discovery:specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide(N.O),a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide,largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertilizer use,is a major climato concern.According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences,the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century. To develop the solution,researchers used organic waste to grow the bacteria.Building on past work,they searched for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil long so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertilizer treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months,.the makeup of microbial（微生物的)life was unchanged,.suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil. These bacteria exist naturally in anaerobic digesters(厌氧消化器)，which t女ansforms organic waste into biofuels.That might ease acceptance of their use,said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona,who was not involved in the research.Moreover,Bakken stared that this "opens up a number of new possibilities"for managing farmland.The bacteria could be added to fertilizers, offering a potential direct application for farmers.As Carini noted,using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective. However,'significant challenges remain before widespread use.Professor Lori Hoagland,an expert in the field,noted that soils vary globally,requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness.More critically,farmers carrently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods.Bakken argued that authorities must reate policies to make emission reductions profitable.If these limitations can be addressed, cteral treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture's contribution to climate change. 14.Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern? A.It is released in larger amounts than CO2. B.It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time. C.It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2. D.It comes mainly from industrial production. 15.What is mainly discussed about bacteria in paragraph 4? A.Its potential benefits. B.Its working principle. C.Its producing process. D.Its research value. 16.What prevents the application of the finding? A.Shortage of necessary bacteria. B.Lack of financial benefit for farmers. C.Difficulty in large-scale testing. D.Uncertainty about its effect. 高二英语期中测试卷 a^“"1.%。a Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence?Before the appearance of digital tools,you'd probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don't have to think them up,dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (ways.They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be.In 1946,George Orwell described good writing as "picking out words for the sake of their meaning,"a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle.Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice,while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them.The digital-mative approach delivers hands-oft,derivative（衍生的) communication.The other requires flipping through pages without knowing exactly where you'll end up.Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English's potential,writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical-it helps us define who we are.Dictionaries aid as m achieving this:They classify our unique ways of thinking through language.I'm a Canadian; ny feeling of pride in my country is enhanced because of small Canadian words such as "eaves rough"or"serviette",which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, or the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds,we need dictionaries more than ever.Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our ability for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 17.What might be a distinot feature of dictionaries according to the author? A.They promise error-free phrases. B.They possess academic authority C.They provide reauy-tnade expressions.D.They facilitate creative writing. 18.What does the underlined word stifle"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Favor. B.Revise. C.Observe. D.Discourago. 9.Why does the author mention“eaves trough”and“serviette”in paragraph4? A.To illustrate how language use affects identity. B.To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C.To celebrate the divensity of Canadian English. D.To show how Al aids us in expressing. :0.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.What to Expect from Dictionaries? B.How to Deal with Digital Writing? C.Why Keep Your Dictionary? D.Who Uses Writing Assistants? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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 :2页共4页 a^“"1.%。a 可织 多余选项。 In today's world of digital distractions,the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge.Surely a child won't have the patience to stare at something for long.21. Being exposed to art,however,holds profound significance for the development of young minds,both intellectually and emotionally.22.Each painting,sculpture,or photograph in art galleries tells a story,inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.But with many kids being extremely picky eaters,and galleties seeming as appetizing as yesterday's porridge,how can we get them to fuck (in?I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intenton of making them so. First,why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms?Wbo said that walking around a gallery had to be slow,stopping to look at every picture?4.If they want to head straight for a certain display,let them.If something catches their eye on the other side of the room,that's absolutely fine. 25.What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art,for whatever reason.To encourage this,you can make it into a game,either with or without a reward, with simple questions like,"Who can guess the artist?"I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest. A.Let them determine the pace B.Make the art gallery fit in with your kids C.Turning art into a game is another trick D.The answer is to approach them with fresh eyes E.It is a crying shame that they are least-visited attractions F.It allows children opportunities to engage in diverse perspectives and cultures G.It's understandable to think of art galleries as anything but child-friendly places 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分37.5分) 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 In the 1980s,I first encountered tai ehi in Dundonald Park.I watched people move in loose formation at an unhurried pace The 36 of their movements was like a water lily ( opening in slow motion.

The last game of the season came,and the gym was full of people.The crowd cheered loudly as the second half began.Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court.
