Lisa was a seience and math teacher at a high school in Louisiana.She helped inspire underserved students to conduct science research and helped their projects go into science fairs. But there was no flat way to success.School bus being the only form of transportation,several students were unable to ever stay after school to complete 高三英语第6页共12页 research.Therefore,project research had to be completed during lunch or over the phone.Usually,when it comes to conducting science research and participating in science fairs,purchasing a display board,staying after school,and doing research online are almost always a necessity.But students who don't have internet access at home or can't afford to buy supplies,or students whose parents are unable to pick them up from school often miss out. Lisa has made it her goal to help her students overcome barriers like these so that they have the opportunity to participate in science fairs.It has been a success. This year,two of her students,Ruth and Zachary,made it to the final science fair in Pittsburgh There being a large number of bacteria at beaches throughout Lousiana,Ruth decided to study the causes behind this at a local beach.In her project titled"Using Microbial Indicators to analyze Water Quality at Cypremort Point Beach",Ruth explained where the bacteria were coming from."My teacher gave me the equipment I needed to reserch,and spare her free time to help me work out ideas for how to design my exhbition to make it more readable for thr public,Ruth said. In Zachary's project,he tested som echaracteristics of honeys,Although initially he started his project due to a class requirement,he said"Once I started going,it got the ball moving.I just kept going and I was having fun.It was a great experience."And he added,"Now the lab has attracted me so much that I began to want to spend all my spare time in conducting science research and experiments. 61.Why did Lisa call on her students to participate in science fairs? A.Her son developed interest in science. B.Her school required the students to do so C.She wanted to promote seience fair participation. D.She realized the student would benefit from the fairs. 62.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The happiness that Lisa found in her work. B.The support that Lisa gave to her students. C.The success that Lisa achieved in her projects D.The challenges that Lisa met with in her attempts. 63.What can we learn about Ruth's project? A.It has something to do with Louisiana's environment. B.It tells us about the chemicasl at the local beach. 高三英语第7页共12页 C.It gets support from her classmates and teacher. D.It is a little hard for the public to understand. 64.What did Zachary's Words show? A.He became good at conducting science experiments. B.He showed great enthusiasm for science research. C.He didn't come across difficulties in his project. D.He appreciated Lisa's help with his research. 65.Which of the following can best describe Lisa? A.Friendly and strict B.Patient and confident. C.Generous and determined. D.Careful and humorous. C The question,"What do elephants and fish have in common?"may sound strange but researchers have found that they both have a feature not observed in any other creature. A team at Georgia Institute of Technology has discovered that elephants use a special form of air suction (in their trunks to pick up food and handle delicate objects.Animals using suction to handle objects are typically found in water.Many fish perform suction feeding that requires specialised body parts to quickly generate air pressure that can draw nearby food into their mouths. The researchers have found that an elephant could do the same thanks to its huge nostrils(鼻孔)and lung capacity.The radius(半径)of an elephant's nostrils can increase by up to 30%,and the volume of air that it can push through its trunk increases by 64%.This allows it to take in air at 30 times the speed of a human sneeze,enabling it to drink 3L of water a second. In an experiment at Atlanta zoo,the researchers looked at how an elephant would pick up a small crispy pancake,which was only 0.5mm thick.The force required to break the pancake was less than 1%of the trunk's weight(about 100kg).The elephant was found to either use suction at a fixed distance from the pancake to"raise"the object in the air and hold it,or gently press the tip of its trunk against the pancake and apply suction to pick it up.At no time during the experiment did the elephant break the pancake. The researchers believe that the findings could help technology companies develop better machines that use air to do their jobs,as suction has long been used in robotics to grab objects.The fascinating part of the study for robotics is that elephants can use air suction both on ground and in water.The researchers are so impressed that they suggest the elephant's suction technique could help improve robotics technology. 高三英语第8页共12页 Nature never ceases to surprise.Indeed,it is thought that over four-fifths of living species on earth remain undiscovered.That is a reminder of how little we know of our planet,and that we are not the only creatures with hidden complexities. 66.According to the researchers,what is the ability shared by both elephants and fish? A.Surviving low air pressure.B.Using air suction technique. C.Observing other creatures. D.Adapting to new environments. 67.Which of the following is TRUE about an elephant according to Paragraph 3? A.It drinks water 30 times faster than man B.It lets out 64%more air when sneezing. C.Its lung capacity is smaller than we think. D.Its nostrils can get 30%bigger in radius 68.What can be learned about an elephant's trunk in the experiment? A.Its tip can sense the thickness of objects. B.Its weight affects its movement. C.It breaks the food before holding it. D.It picks up delicate objects in different ways. 69.The research findings may contribute to the development of A.underwater robots B.nature reserves C.transport vehicles D.fish farming 70.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A.To promote a new technology. B.To recommend a research team. C.To introduce a scientific discovery. D.To explain a historical phenomenon. D Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways:as start-up fatigue()and performance fatigue.In the former case,we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it,the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real,even if not actually physical,not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply:always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago,I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule,I determined to write them in alphabetical( )never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule 高三英语第9页共12页 works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that,however hard we work,we fail again and again.In such a situation,I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》)，I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before,and day after day I kept coming up with solutions,but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day,mentally exhausted,I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself,not with me.Relived,I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later,I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed,the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before,I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings,I believe must try to succeed.Success,then,means never feeling tired. 71.People with start-up fatigue are most likely to A.delay tasks B.work hard C.seek help D.accept failure 72.What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue? A.Writing essays in strict order. B.Building up physical strength. C.Leaving out the toughest ideas.D.Dealing with the hardest task first. 73.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A.Before starting a difficult task.B.When all the solutions fail. C.If the job is rather boring. D.After finding a way out. 74.According to the author,the unconscious mind may help us A.ignore mental problems B.get some nice sleep C.gain complete relief D.find the right solution 75.What could be the best title for the passage? A.Success Is Built upon Failure B.How to Handle Performance Fatigue C.Getting over Fatigue:A Way to Success D.Fatigue:An Early Sign of Health Problems 2026-2027高三英语第一学期期中考试 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用英语回答问题。 I'm a 34-year-old man,married,lived in a nice house,and have a successful career as an educational consultant.But my life was not always so great.I had a learning disability from an early age.I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help.Still,I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art.The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words.I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay().Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language.I could still be smart and well express myself with clay.And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing.It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start.I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing;it was practice.So I did it more.After about five years of climbing,I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall.I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time,you will get better at it. Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write.Every day I practiced reading and writing,which I used to avoid as much as possible.After two hard years,I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art,rock climbing,and reading an d writing,now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown,hard,but interesting. 76.What made the author's school days difficult?(No more than 5 words) 77.Why did art give the author confidence?(No more than 10 words) 高三英语第11页共12页 78 What lesson did the author learn from rock climbing?(No more than 15 words) 79.What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 4?(No more than 5 words) 80.How does the author's story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life?Put it in your own words.(No more than 20 words) 六、书面表达（满分25分） 8l.最近中学生英文网站Student Post为了纳新，面向全市招聘中学生英文记 者。假设你是晨光中学的李津。请按照以下提示，写一封申请信： (1)应聘本地新闻local events))记者一职； (2)个人基本情况、相关特长； (3)你做出该决定的具体理由。 注意：(1)词数不少于100； (②)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯： (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, I am writing to I look forward to hearing from you.
