When it came time for college,I never considered anything other than a science major.I earned a bachelor's degree in wildlife science from Virginia Tech.After graduating,I worked as a biological technician for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)in North Carolina,assisting with a range of projects that included staring at photos to count the barnacles (on dolphin fins,as well as checking up on dolphin stomachs to document their contents. After working for a couple years,I attended graduate school to earn a master's degree in marine biology from Florida Atlantic University.For my research,I worked with Denise Herzing,Ph.D., founder and research director of the Wild Dolphin Project.I spent my summers living at sea in the Bahamas,free-diving among dolphins to study their behavior,communication and ecology.Even with the temperamental(喜s怒无常的)crew,seasickness during rough seas,.and painful skin problems because of stings（蛰伤)，it was a dream come true. Getting used to human presence,those dolphins granted me access to the most intimate moments of their lives.I observed baby dolphins learn to swim and hunt,watched mothers nurse their young and glimpsed males'fights for the attention of shy females.Watching their relationships and struggles due to human activity,I ultimately developed an interest in storytelling and conservation photography. Now,I try to combine my scientific background,writing and artistic ability to help people emotionally connect to wild subjects and experience the wonders of nature.I hope my efforts in science communication increase ocean literacy,raise awareness of conservation issues,and inspire positive action toward the environment. 24.Why does the author mention his childhood in paragraph 1? A.To show he had a wonderful childhood. B.To tell about his growing environment. C.To show the ocean is in his blood. D.To recommend activities in the sea. 25.How did the author choose his major? A.By following his heart. B.By taking his parents'advice. C.By comparing different majors.

C In some cities,as many as one in four office spaces are empty.Some start-ups are giving them a second life.Vertical (indoor farms-where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments using the latest planting techniques-have been popping up around the world. The open-plan nature of most modern offices makes them suitable for indoor farm use.Still, repurposing,particularly to ensure a space can accommodate the proper equipment and has proper electrical,heating,ventilation ()and air conditioning systems,can be difficult. The Calgary Tower Project,developed by the company Agriplay Ventures,has worked to overcome these challenges..Agriplay uses 1-by-2.5 m modular racks(有标准组件的架子)rising up to3 m tall, which can easily adapt to any space with ventilation.The racks are also easy to remove once a project is completed. Unoccupied office buildings are often close to final consumers.In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington,about a mile outside of Washington,D.C.,Area 2 Farms is growing over 180 organic varieties of green vegetables.By serving consumers within 10 miles or less,the company has driven down transport costs and any associated carbon footprint. Energy use,however,is the "Achilles'heel"of this field,says Fraser.Vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems,smart devices,and automated harvesting technologies. "But if energy is sourced from renewable sources,they can outperform regular farms in this regard,too," he says.They face other challenges,too.And,for now,aside from leafy greens,most indoor facilities cannot yet mass produce other types of crops like wheat,corn or rice. "One thing cities dislike is unused spaces that don't drive economic growth,"says Fraser."If indoor farm projects in cities like Arlington prove successful,others may follow suit." 28.What can be learned about Agriplay? A.It helps clients locate storage areas. B.It develops new planting techniques. C.It focuses on maintaining office buildings. D.It offers equipment suited for indoor farming. 29.What does the author indicate by mentioning Arlington? A.The achievements of Area 2 Farms. B.The benefits of urban indoor farms. C.The significance of vertical farming. D.The popularity of organic vegetables. 高二英语期末试题(L-1)-5-(共10页) a^“6"1.%。a 可织 30.Which word is closest in meaning to "Achilles'heel"underlined in paragraph 5? A.Core. B.Future. C.Weakness. D.Advantage. 31.What might be the best title for the text? A.The Rise of Organic Farms B.A New Life for Empty Offices C.A Bright Future for City Farmers D.The World of High-Tech Agriculture D Minerals such as lithium,cobalt,nickel and rare earth elements are essential for wind generators, electric vehicles,cell phones and other technologies.With demand rising,some are now looking to tap the seafloor for its vast metal ores.This practice,called deep-sea mining,aims to retrieve ( mineral resources from the ocean floor,hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface. While exploratory mining to test equipment has occurred at a small scale,deep-sea mining has not yet been undertaken commercially.Most deep-sea mining interest is concentrated in international waters. 盼 This means the industry's future will largely depend on how the UN's International Seabed Authority (ISA)decides to regulate it.Despite years of negotiations,the ISA and its membership have been unable 燕 to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters.Meanwhile, 席 opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all. Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and ® digital technologies,while avoiding deforestation and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. 班 They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains. 喀 The science so far paints a concerning picture,predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy ·鸥 equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment,long-term disturbance of rare,slow-reproducing species and ecosystems,and potential species extinction due to habitat loss.Mining also carries social and governance 性 risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution,and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean's carbon cycle,weakening its role in regulating global climate. The need for critical minerals is undeniable.But there is no easy answer to meet this demand 0 responsibly,given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land.With so many unknowns,the question remains:Is deep-sea mining necessary-or too great a gamble? 32.What is the main reason why large-scale deep-sea mining has not started yet? A.Lack of suitable technology. B.Concern about human rights abuses. 0 C.Rising cost of seafloor mineral extraction. D.Disagreement on international regulations. 33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning deep-sea mining? A.Its possible advantages. B.Its environmental risks. 締 C.Its development history. D.Its potential market value. 高二英语期末试题(L-1)-6-(共10页) 000000000 34.Which of the following is NOT a direct harm caused by marine mining? A.Damage to marine life. B.Unfair profit distribution. 都 C.Possible species extinction. D.Disturbance to rare marine species. 35.What is the author's attitude toward deep-sea mining? A.Slightly doubtful. B.Sharply disapproving. o C.Thoughtfully concerned. D.Enthusiastically supportive. 0 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As is well known,making art is good for your health.It can reduce stress and improve your spirit. 36 All you need to do is just make art.And the more you do it,the better.Here're some tips to help you kick-start your creative art habit. 37 In fact,there're no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as 名 杯 experienced in art and those who aren't.So no matter your level,you could feel all the good things that come with making art. ● Figure out your mode of creative expression.There're many choices available:painting,cooking, baking,woodworking,sewing-the sky's the limit.38 Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you.And don't feel like you have to stick to one thing.Mix it up-do whatever you're in the mood for.

Halfway up the mountain,a sudden rainstorm broke out,making the rocks wet and slippery.The wind howled,and visibility dropped sharply.Mia accidentally twisted her ankle and couldn't move forward.Mr.Carter had to stay with Mia to take care of her,leaving Lila with two choices:turn back alone or continue climbing to find a safer spot to call for help.Lila felt a wave of panic-she was terrified of being alone on the mountain,and the harsh weather made the journey even tougher.She sat on a rock, tears mixing with rain,and wanted to give up. 玲 Mr.Carter noticed Lila's hesitation and shouted to her firmly:"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to keep going when you are afraid.You have trained hard,and you are stronger than you think.We need you to be brave now-your courage will save us all.Lila lifted her head,looked at 薜 Mr.Carter's encouraging eyes and Mia's worried face,and felt a strong determination rising in her heart.
