The mother said,“This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat !” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben’s face became red, lowered his head and said a thank-you in a low voice. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand. “This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.” She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these remarks, Ben felt much ashamed, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolates for any other merits he had displayed in this event.
Now with some chocolates in hand, a sense of guilt welled up inside the boy. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother and admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally. He then asked for punishment. “I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolates. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.”葫芦岛市2021-2022学年高二下学期期末学业质量监测考试

Traveling on an airplane can be a very tiring task even in the best of circumstances, which is why when Sophie Murphy boarded a recent flight from Sydney to Melbourne and noticed an “awful tension” in the cabin, she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.
A teenage boy with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew’s warnings over the
loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing—and angering people on the already tense flight.
“If it were a cartoon,” remembered Murphy, “there would have been smoke coming out of people’s ears.”
As the boy’s elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, but in vain, Murphy, 42 — who had been a teacher for more than 20 years — stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.
She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him.
Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand—and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Murphy asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times, including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they’d get through it together.
After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers—obviously following Murphy’s amazing example — allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Murphy for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.
24. How did Murphy manage to handle the “awful tension”
A. She communicated with the boy.
B. She fought against unfair treatment.
C. She asked an experienced doctor to help.
D. She called on other passengers to join her.
25. The landing was delayed because ________.
A. a family ignored the warnings
B. a boy refused to sit in his seat
C. smoke was coming out of the engine
D. the pilot was forced to change the destination
26. What changed the angry passengers’ attitude at last
A. The boy’s improvement. B. The plane’s safe landing.
C. The teacher’s efforts. D. The crew’s behavior.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Murphy
A. Kind and cool-headed. B. Patient and interested.
C. Wise and cooperative. D. Generous and cautious.
C
Scientists in Australia have discovered that they can use the world’s smelliest fruits to make devices that could power electric cars. A durian is a fruit that looks like a pineapple. It is a delicacy in some Asian countries, but its smell is so unpleasant that some of those countries have banned it from public places. Its smell has been compared to rotting eggs and even smelly old gym socks.
Vincent Gomes and his colleagues at the University of Sydney, in Australia, used a durian and a jackfruit—another fruit known for its terrible smell—to make energy-storing devices called supercapacitors.
Supercapacitors are an alternative to batteries. They can’t store as much energy as a normal battery does, but they are much quicker to recharge. Durians and jackfruits contain some of the chemicals used in supercapacitors, which gave Gomes the idea. To make the fruit-based devices, the team heated and then freeze-dried the uneatable cores of the durian and jackfruit to make a special kind of material called an aerogel.
Aerogels are one of the world’s lightest solid materials. Often called “frozen smoke”, they are made by removing the liquid from a gel (凝胶) and replacing it with air. They have many scientific uses, but one of their special properties is the ability to conduct electric currents, which makes them an important part of supercapacitors. The aerogels made from durian and jackfruit both worked well when placed inside a supercapacitor, although the durian aerogel was found to be the better of the two.
The discovery is important because the materials currently used to make supercapacitors are expensive. Using natural foods like durians and jackfruits, Gomes says, could reduce environmental pollution, as well as costs.
28. What makes some countries have different attitudes toward the durian
A. Its appearance. B. Its smell . C. Its value. D. Its popularity.
29. Which paragraph mentions Gomes’s inspiration of innovation
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Properties. B. Scientific uses. C. Electric currents. D. Aerogels.
31. What can we learn about fruit-based supercapacitors
A.They are light and liquid.
B. They are green and economical.
C. They are chemicals from durians.
D. They are devices for producing electricity.

Pandas have always been one of the cutest creatures of the animal kingdom, but did you know that there are actually two types of pandas
These animals are divided into Sichuan and Qinling subspecies (亚种群). The Qinling giant panda, which lives in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, has a round head and short mouth, which makes it look like a cat. The Sichuan giant panda, which lives in Sichuan province, is more bear-like and has a bigger and more oval (椭圆形的) head, according to a study published in a recent issue of the Chinese Science Bulletin.
The study, conducted by Zhejiang University, the BGI Life Science Research Institution and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, showed the subspecies’ differences and evolutionary (进化的) characteristics, including the first report on the genome (基因组) of the Qinling subspecies.
The two subspecies evolved around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, which means they haven’t contacted one another for at least 10,000 years. Besides their different physical features, the Sichuan subspecies is better adapted to survive in the wild due to its history of greater genetic variation. The Qinling subspecies never migrated (迁徙) across the Yellow River Basin, so it has had no major changes in genetic variation.
The key factors affecting the long-term survival of a species are its ability to reproduce and develop immunity (免疫力) against disease. When it comes to making babies, the Sichuan subspecies is more reproductive than the Qinling subspecies, said Fang Shengguo, a professor at Zhejiang University’s College of Life Sciences.
Pandas were once meat eaters but later turned to a bamboo diet. In response to the huge changes in their eating habits, they evolved relatively small internal organs to slow down their metabolism (新陈代谢). Changes in giant panda genes are mainly related to their reproductive system, which may be responsible for their reduced reproduction, according to the study.
Accurate genetic management is important in artificial breeding (繁殖) and conservation, Fang pointed out. He also suggested gene exchanges between small populations of pandas within the same subspecies should be sped up, which could help reduce inbreeding (近亲交配) and genetic decline. “Unless the species is in danger, interbreeding between the two subspecies should be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, the reproduction of the offspring (后代) may be reduced, which would be very bad for the Sichuan subspecies population,” said Fang, who also noted the importance of restoring pandas habitats.
32. What do we know about pandas
A. The Sichuan subspecies tends to live longer.
B. They mainly live in two provinces in China.
C. The Qinling subspecies is less able to reproduce.
D. The two subspecies share similar facial features.
33. According to the study, what could be the reason for pandas’ reduced reproduction
A. The frequent migration in the wild.
B. The shortage of bamboo for them to eat.
C. The decreased immunity against disease.
D. The changes in genes related to reproduction.
34. What does Fang Shengguo think is a better solution to pandas inbreeding
A. Accurate genetic management.
B. The restoration of pandas’ habitats.
C. Interbreeding between the two subspecies.
D. Gene exchanges within the same subspecies.
35. What’s the main purpose of the article
A. To report on new research about pandas.
B. To inform people of how pandas evolved.
C. To compare different subspecies of pandas.
D. To call on people to protect the endangered species.

Nowadays we all have hundreds of Facebook“friends”. 36 Studies show that even if people have thousands of Facebook friends, they usually only keep close relationship with a few people in real life. So, what are the signs of your true friendships Let’s read on and find out the answer.
True fiends stick with you through both good and bad times. In hard times, a true friend will never leave you in the shadow alone. 37 Fake friends often fail you because they only want to stick around when things go well for you, and feel like helping you through your problems is a burden for them.
38 To know whether you’re dealing with a true friendship or not, just notice who sticks around when you reach new heights in your life. Some people will get jealous and try to tear you down, but the real friends in your life will feel happy for you.
They allow you to have other friendships without getting jealous (妒忌的) and possessive. Real friends feel confident enough in your friendship. They give you the freedom to pursue other friendships and activities in your life. 39
They forgive you when you make a mistake. Don’t expect perfection from true friends, and they won’t expect it from you. They know that you will slip up (出现疏漏)）from time to time. 40 They just put it behind them and know that you have good intentions despite mistakes you might make.
A. They treat their friends as treasure.
B. So you don’t have to give them a long apology.
C. That’s because they know your friendship is rock solid.
D. True friends will congratulate you when you reach a new goal.
E. Instead, they offered to give you a helping hand whenever they can.
F. That’s because they probably know things about you that many others don’t.
G. We can instantly connect with them online, but does that make them true friends.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董)，which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favorite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together quickly and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced round the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious (怀疑) looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed,the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished, but as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
