There was a strange stillness．Where had the birds gone？It was a spring without bird voices．Only silence lay over the fields and woods．．．
Rachel Carson was a scientist，but these lines from her 1962 book Silent Spring show her talent as a writer．By imagining a world without birds，she aimed to warn the scientific community and the general public of the damaging effects of human activity on ecosystems —in particular，of the harmful use of pesticides（杀 虫剂），such as DDT．She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants，animals and even humans，and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible，limited and carefully monitored way．
Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies，which proves some programmes did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve．And the 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson's sources，showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist．
Carson's message has caused a great increase in environmental awareness：the use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）was established in the US．Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of green movement in the Western world．
Silent Spring was not，however，received positively by everyone．Though supported by most scientists，the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry．They said Carson did not understand the science because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist．Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific．These were attempts to damage Carson's reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy，but she remained determined to stand by her research．
Personally，I enjoyed Carson's book．Today，more than 50 years after it was published，the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear．
24．Why did Carson describe a world without birds？
A．To create a poetic atmosphere． B．To show Carson's talent as a writer．
C．To raise environmental awareness． D．To arouse readers' interest in science．
25．What do we know about Carson？
A．She is a committed scientist． B．She is an uninfluential biologist．
C．She is a well-recognized chemist． D．She is a productive writer．
26．What was the possible reason why Carson's book became a target for critics？
A．She couldn't control her emotion． B．She went against science．
C．She lacked scientific spirit． D．She threatened their profit．
27．What is the text？
A．A book review． B．A news journal．
C．A research article． D．A personal profile．
C
It shouldn't come as news to anyone that the planet is suffering a climate emergency．And the fashion industry certainly plays its part in this．In 2020，the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）calculated that the fashion industry produces ten per cent of annual global carbon dioxide emission and is estimated to use around 1.5 trillion litres of water every year．The industry's environmental impact is greatly worsened by fast fashion which releases hundreds of new styles every week，leading to overproduction and overconsumption．But how do we solve this issue？One answer lies in the new generation of made-to-order brands making their way into the mainstream．
These brands make clothes only as and when they're ordered．It's a far more sustainable approach，and because there's no overproduction，less unwanted stock（库存）ends up in landfills．It also promotes a slower fashion model，with pieces taking between three weeks and three months to arrive once purchased．Its focus is on creating special，well-made pieces for consumers to treasure for years to come．
MaisonCléo is such a clothing company，taking limited orders each week which are then handmade and delivered in approximately three weeks．And it advocates for fair and reasonable pricing．Thus it attracts loyal customer bases with their social and environmental responsibility，perfect craftsmanship and evergreen styles．
With made-to-order brands rapidly growing in popularity，it begs the question—-could this be the start of a new，environmentally responsible era？I hope so．With overproduction and overconsumption fueling a real climate crisis，the made-to-order clothing could be the future of fashion our planet badly needs．
28．Which is the problem with fast fashion？
A．It slows economic growth． B．It pollutes water resources．
C．It results in overpopulation． D．It causes overconsumption．
29．What do we know about the products of made-to-order brands？
A．They promise high quality． B．They are delivered fast．
C．They end up in landfills． D．They are produced in quantity．
30．Why does the author mention “MaisonCléo” in paragraph 3？
A．To explain a rule． B．To present an example．
C．To list a fact． D．To give an exception．
31．What is the suitable title of the passage？
A．Climate Crisis and Fast Fashion
B．The Development of Made-To-Order Brands
C．Could Made-To-Order be the Future of Fashion？
D．How to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions？
D
Mariana Bechtel isn't exactly someone who avoids stress．Throughout her career，she has pursued high-pressure management jobs：“I'm hard core，” says the 44-year-old wife and mother of two．“I wanted to be on top at work，and I wanted to be a great mom” - one who could attend baseball games，drive carpool and help with homework even after an hour-long commute（通勤）on workdays，more often than not，with a 5 a．m．marathon-training run．
However，after months of losing sleep，dropping weight and feeling pushed to lose her mind，Mariana Bechtel decided she had to address her stress -and turn it to her advantage．The new job she recently switched to still has its share of pressure，but with more support from her boss and more flexibility in her schedule，she says she feels great．
Contrary to popular belief，stress doesn't have to be a soul-sucking，health-damaging force．But few people know how to transform their stress into the positive kind that helps them reach their goals．
A recent research confirms that gaining control over job demands，doing work with meaning and purpose and enjoying support and encouragement from co-workers are all linked to beneficial stress．Simply changing attitudes and expectations about stress - through coaching，training or peer-support groups-can also develop the constructive kind of stress．
“Stress is paradoxical，” says Alia Crum，a research scholar．On one hand，it can be the thing that hurts us most．On the other，it's fundamental to psychological and physical growth．The attitude that we view and approach stress will shift the outcome．"
32．What is Mariana Bechtel's new job like？
A．It is health-damaging． B．It is physically demanding．
C．It has little stress． D．It has flexible worktime．
33．What does the author want to show by telling the story of Mariana Bechtel？
A．Stress can be turned beneficial． B．Too much stress is harmful to health．
C．It's hard to balance work and family． D．Every job has its own advantage．
34．How can we make stress to our advantage according to the recent research？
A．By refusing the boss's demands． B．By taking up a meaningful job．
C．By supporting co-workers． D．By sticking to our attitude to stress．
35．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean？
A．Stress has far-reaching effects． B．Stress has several disadvantages．
C．Stress has two opposite features． D．Stress is not necessary at all．

At only 9 years old, Lesia Cartelli was badly burnt in a gas explosion at her grandparents’ house. The burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. Lesia could have remained withdrawn for her whole life. But now, this woman uses her painful past to help other burn victims find healing(治愈). “My life got better when I started to look at my life as a gift,” Lesia said.
Lesia started Angel Faces, a national nonprofit organization offering week-long supportive retreats(休养所) for adolescent female burn victims. These retreats, for girls from 11-19 years of age, provide meetings to help the girls heal emotionally.
“She’s like a ball of sunshine,” said Casi Smith, a 17-year-old with burns on her face she received as a baby. “Looking at her, I can see everything she’s been through. But here she is; instead of hiding, she’s helping people. To me, that is amazing. I don’t know if I could ever do that.”
As a woman burned in a gas explosion, Lesia is able to connect with these young ladies on a personal level, as someone who knows what they’re going through. Her heart for helping others motivates fellow burn victims to take control of their circumstances.
All of these women are miracles. They are blessed to have survived horrible accidents most of us can’t even imagine. Yet, surviving the incident is just the beginning. Lesia describes the period following the actual event causing the burns as a “trauma cocoon”. And that’s where she steps in. “I didn’t want any other girl to go through what I had gone through,” she says. “We offer a place where the girls can suffer less pain and begin to really heal.”

Around 50 Mars missions have been launched globally since 1960. Yet more than half of them have failed to reach the planet. So after China’s Mars probe—Tianwen-1, was launched on July 23, Thursday last year, there was an anxious wait to learn its fate.
The news that the craft carrying exploration rover Zhurong landed safely on the surface of the planet on Saturday has therefore been met with both relief and celebration in the country.
That the landing was carried out exactly as planned has made China the latest member, after the United States and Russia, of the club of the world’s pioneering Martin explorers, and shows the reliability of the relevant technologies that China has developed on its own. Though the first Mars mission of the country, it was a brave undertaking: to complete orbiting, landing and roving in one single mission.
It is that can-do spirit of self-reliance（自力更生） that has played a key role in China’s scientific and technological development in recent decades despite some foreign countries’ attempts to prevent its progress. China made its early breakthroughs in rocket and space technologies with its own scientists, engineers and scientific workers starting from the 1960s under very difficult conditions when the country remained largely a backward agricultural country and faced foreign blocks of technology and materials.
However the country has made the most of what it had over the past more than six decades, making continuous efforts to go ahead in the aerospace（航天）cause. Thanks to the hard work and even sacrifices of generations of scientific workers, China has laid a solid foundation for the fast development of its aerospace industry, and has achieved one milestone after another in its space endeavors.
In the human space odyssey, China, with enthusiasm, diligence and willingness to cooperate, will help promote humankind to travel faster and farther.
8. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a kind of astronomical phenomenon.
B. To recall the development of China’s aerospace exploration.
C. To boost Chinese people’s confidence in aerospace exploration.
D. To state the difficulties China faced in aerospace development.
9. How does the author feel about the development of China’s aerospace industry
A. Confused. B. Proud.
C. Worried. D. Astonished.
10. What can we learn from the text
A. More than half of Mars missions have succeeded since 1960.
B. The exploration rover Zhurong landed on Mars on July, 25 th .
C. The mission of Tianwen-1 was to complete orbiting and landing.
D. China made a breakthrough in space technologies without efforts.
11. From which is the text most probably taken
A. A science fiction. B. A book review.
C. A geography textbook D. A daily newspaper.
D
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.
In the study, researchers conducted various experiments. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it’d be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they didn’t feel more awkward,” said study co-author Amit Kumar.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”. However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the real effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words.”
12. Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study
A. An email. B. A video chat.
C. A text message. D. A letter.
13. What did the participants in the first experiment do
A. They made predictions on the others’ intentions.
B. They made random phone calls to some strangers.
C. They imagined the joy of hearing someone’s voice.
D. They predicted a phone call would be embarrassing.
14. Why does Sabrina Romanoff consider making phone calls convenient
A. It can improve your communication skills.
B. It proves a controlled form of communication.
C. It can make it easier to understand each other.
D. It avoids unexpected additions in conversations.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. You Should Call Instead of Texting B. Technology Builds More Connections
C. Communicate With Your Old Friends D. Voice Communication Is Time-saving
辽宁省大连市2019-2020学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题
第一节 （共15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Four Famous Embroideries (刺绣) of China refer to the Xiang embroidery in Hunan Province, Shu embroidery in Sichuan Province, Yue embroidery in Guangdong Province and Su embroidery in Jiangsu Province.
Xiang embroidery
The earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No. 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.---A.D. 220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which shows that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty. In its later development, it absorbs the characteristics of traditional Chinese paintings and reaches a high artistic level. Xiang embroidery crafts include valuable works of art, as well as products for daily use.
Shu embroidery
Shu embroidery has formed its own unique characteristics: smooth, bright, neat, etc. The works choose flowers, animals, mountains, rivers and human figures as their themes. The craftsmanship of Shu embroidery involves a combination of fine art and practical uses, such as the facings of quilts, pillowcases, coats and screen covers.
Yue embroidery
Influenced by national folk art, Yue embroidered pictures are mainly of dragons and phoenixes (凤凰), and flowers and birds, with neat designs and strong, contrasting colors. Gold-and-silk thread embroidery is widely used, even for crafts of daily use.
Su embroidery
The weaving techniques of Su embroidery are characterized by the flat surface, dense lines, even pictures and harmonious colors. Su embroidery products fall into 3 major categories: costumes, decorations for halls and crafts for daily use. Double-sided embroidery is an excellent representative of Su embroidery.
1. The unearthed embroidery at Mawangdui shows Xiang embroidery’s _______.
A. time-honoured history B. excellent designs
C. artistic value D. advanced techniques
2. If you receive a double-sided embroidery as a gift, it must be ________.
A. Xiang embroidery B. Shu embroidery
C. Yue embroidery D. Su embroidery
3. What do we know about the four famous embroideries
A. All are rootedin folk art. B. All are valuable artworks.
C. All share the same themes. D. All have practical use.
B
He ran between two defenders, pasta third, and a couple of seconds later his team had two more points. At the end of his final game, on April 11, he had scored 30 points.
This was the end of a career for Dwyane Wade, nicknamed “Flash”. It was the 37-year-old’s last game for the Miami Heat and his last appearance on an NBA basketball court. Over his storied career, Wade played in 1,054 regular-season games and 177 post-season games, scored more than 23,000 points, appeared in three NBA championships and earned one Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
Coming from Chicago, Wade’s attitude and style of play moved many people, including former US President Barack Obama. “Whenever you got knocked down, you always showed us how to get back up,” Obama said in a tribute video. “You showed some Chicago spirit... and you did us proud.”
Wade broke down the door to the NBA in 2003 with his outstanding ball-handling skills and jumping ability. He had a strong principle, taking practice as seriously as he took games. He trained in the gym by himself during the off-season and exercised hard to stay in shape.
Wade has also spoken out on social issues. In 2012, 17-year-old Heat fan Trayvon Martin, an African-American, was shot in a racist attack on his way home from watching the NBA All-Star Game. Wade, together with LeBron James, led the Miami Heat squad, pulling up their hoodies (连帽衫) in support of justice for Martin, who had his hoodie up when he was killed. Wade hoped this action would bring attention to racist violence.
In 2003, he founded the Wade’s World Foundation, which provides support to various education, health, and family service programs. “Obviously, I’m one person. I can’t change the world, but I can help affect change in communities,” Wade told ESPN. “That’s what I want to continue to do.”
This is not the end of Wade’s story. He wants to continue fighting for economic and social equality in the US.
4. How many games did Wade play in his professional career
A. 1,054. B.177. C.23,000. D. 1,231.
5. Wade was thought highly of by Obama because of _____________.
A. his strong willpower B. his flexible playing style
C. his extraordinary skills D. his honourable ambition
6. Why did Wade and his teammates pull up their hoodies
A. To follow Martin’s heroic behaviour. B. To speak out for Martin.
C. To try on the latest fashion. D. To show racial equality.
7. This passage is mainly about Wade’s _________.
A. outstanding professional career B. legendary life experiences
C. achievements in social equality D. influence in sports and society
C
As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission. As those historic pictures were beamed (传递) back to Earth, millions of us sat transfixed (使…呆住) to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind---and, indeed, for womankind. It’s a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.
This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some 156,000 British, Canadian and American forces landed in northern France. It was the largest ever seabourne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather. I well remember the look of concern on my father’s face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no one.
For the 75th anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation (和解), those who had formally been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations (纪念) either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them. Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps.
Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy (民主) once won for us at so great a cost.
The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference. And, as we all look forward to the start of a new decade, it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
And so, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
8. Who does the “I” in the passage probably refer to
A. Neil Armstrong. B. Winston Churchill.
C. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ. D. Donald Trump.
9. What does the underlined word “bumpy” mean in the fifth paragraph
A. Smooth. B. Rough. C. Flat. D. Straight.
10. The passage might be a speech on _______.
A. Christmas Day B. New Year’s Eve
C. the anniversary of D-Day landing D. Victory in Europe Day
11. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To honour the achievements of moon-landing.
B. To remember the victory of D-Day landing.
C. To promote reconciliation across the Channel.
D. To urge efforts for a world of peace and unity.
D
14 days. That’s the time Chinese scientists took to identify the full genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) since its outbreak. It was shared with the WHO immediately, and has now become an important foundation for global researchers in the fight against the COVID-19. But first, let us turn the clock back 17 years, when it took months to identify the SARS virus. From months to 14 days, what changed It turns out AI played an important part.
The scientists first obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (支气管扩张灌洗液) samples from patients, isolated (分离) the DNA and RNA, then sequenced the genetic material by comparing them. AI’s advantage is its ability to recognize patterns among a flood of data.
Let me put it in a simple way. Sequencing the coronavirus genome (基因组) is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack (干草堆)---looking for genotypes (基因型) with specific characteristics from a huge gene pool. That’s where search algorithm (算法), a branch of modern AI, comes in. Think of it as an efficient search engine, which can find the needle in the haystack. This search algorithm can shorten months-long genetic sequencing to weeks or even just a few bined with macro-genomic sequencing and a virus library, this AI technology can also be used in tracking virus mutation (突变).
AI doesn’t just support scientists. It can also help patients by improving the efficiency of diagnosis (诊断). China launched a Genomics Service, which can run multiple virus gene comparisons and produce a detailed report within 60 seconds. This algorithm has been put into use in China and shared to the world for free.
12. AI’s advantage is that it can________.
A. slow down the spread of coronavirus B. separate DNA from RNA
C. identify specific genotypes rapidly D. obtain samples from patients quickly
13. The search algorithm helps shorten the time of genetic sequencing by __________.
A. finding a needle in a haystack B. serving as a search engine
C. combining with a virus library D. tracing virus mutation
14. What do we know about the Genomics Service in the last paragraph
A. It has been widely used in the world. B. Itis mainly based on blood test.
C. Itis for fast diagnosis of COVID-19. D. It is used to track COVID-19 patients.
15. What’s the best title of the passage
A. 14 Days---China Made it! B. AI Assists in COVID-19 Fight
C. Search Algorithm, Best Choice D. China’s Genomics Service

There was a strange stillness．Where had the birds gone？It was a spring without bird voices．Only silence lay over the fields and woods．．．
Rachel Carson was a scientist，but these lines from her 1962 book Silent Spring show her talent as a writer．By imagining a world without birds，she aimed to warn the scientific community and the general public of the damaging effects of human activity on ecosystems —in particular，of the harmful use of pesticides（杀 虫剂），such as DDT．She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants，animals and even humans，and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible，limited and carefully monitored way．
Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies，which proves some programmes did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve．And the 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson's sources，showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist．
Carson's message has caused a great increase in environmental awareness：the use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）was established in the US．Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of green movement in the Western world．
Silent Spring was not，however，received positively by everyone．Though supported by most scientists，the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry．They said Carson did not understand the science because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist．Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific．These were attempts to damage Carson's reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy，but she remained determined to stand by her research．
Personally，I enjoyed Carson's book．Today，more than 50 years after it was published，the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear．
24．Why did Carson describe a world without birds？
A．To create a poetic atmosphere． B．To show Carson's talent as a writer．
C．To raise environmental awareness． D．To arouse readers' interest in science．
25．What do we know about Carson？
A．She is a committed scientist． B．She is an uninfluential biologist．
C．She is a well-recognized chemist． D．She is a productive writer．
26．What was the possible reason why Carson's book became a target for critics？
A．She couldn't control her emotion． B．She went against science．
C．She lacked scientific spirit． D．She threatened their profit．
27．What is the text？
A．A book review． B．A news journal．
C．A research article． D．A personal profile．

It shouldn't come as news to anyone that the planet is suffering a climate emergency．And the fashion industry certainly plays its part in this．In 2020，the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）calculated that the fashion industry produces ten per cent of annual global carbon dioxide emission and is estimated to use around 1.5 trillion litres of water every year．The industry's environmental impact is greatly worsened by fast fashion which releases hundreds of new styles every week，leading to overproduction and overconsumption．But how do we solve this issue？One answer lies in the new generation of made-to-order brands making their way into the mainstream．
These brands make clothes only as and when they're ordered．It's a far more sustainable approach，and because there's no overproduction，less unwanted stock（库存）ends up in landfills．It also promotes a slower fashion model，with pieces taking between three weeks and three months to arrive once purchased．Its focus is on creating special，well-made pieces for consumers to treasure for years to come．
MaisonCléo is such a clothing company，taking limited orders each week which are then handmade and delivered in approximately three weeks．And it advocates for fair and reasonable pricing．Thus it attracts loyal customer bases with their social and environmental responsibility，perfect craftsmanship and evergreen styles．
With made-to-order brands rapidly growing in popularity，it begs the question—-could this be the start of a new，environmentally responsible era？I hope so．With overproduction and overconsumption fueling a real climate crisis，the made-to-order clothing could be the future of fashion our planet badly needs．
28．Which is the problem with fast fashion？
A．It slows economic growth． B．It pollutes water resources．
C．It results in overpopulation． D．It causes overconsumption．
29．What do we know about the products of made-to-order brands？
A．They promise high quality． B．They are delivered fast．
C．They end up in landfills． D．They are produced in quantity．
30．Why does the author mention “MaisonCléo” in paragraph 3？
A．To explain a rule． B．To present an example．
C．To list a fact． D．To give an exception．
31．What is the suitable title of the passage？
A．Climate Crisis and Fast Fashion
B．The Development of Made-To-Order Brands
C．Could Made-To-Order be the Future of Fashion？
D．How to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions？

Mariana Bechtel isn't exactly someone who avoids stress．Throughout her career，she has pursued high-pressure management jobs：“I'm hard core，” says the 44-year-old wife and mother of two．“I wanted to be on top at work，and I wanted to be a great mom” - one who could attend baseball games，drive carpool and help with homework even after an hour-long commute（通勤）on workdays，more often than not，with a 5 a．m．marathon-training run．
However，after months of losing sleep，dropping weight and feeling pushed to lose her mind，Mariana Bechtel decided she had to address her stress -and turn it to her advantage．The new job she recently switched to still has its share of pressure，but with more support from her boss and more flexibility in her schedule，she says she feels great．
Contrary to popular belief，stress doesn't have to be a soul-sucking，health-damaging force．But few people know how to transform their stress into the positive kind that helps them reach their goals．
A recent research confirms that gaining control over job demands，doing work with meaning and purpose and enjoying support and encouragement from co-workers are all linked to beneficial stress．Simply changing attitudes and expectations about stress - through coaching，training or peer-support groups-can also develop the constructive kind of stress．
“Stress is paradoxical，” says Alia Crum，a research scholar．On one hand，it can be the thing that hurts us most．On the other，it's fundamental to psychological and physical growth．The attitude that we view and approach stress will shift the outcome．"
32．What is Mariana Bechtel's new job like？
A．It is health-damaging． B．It is physically demanding．
C．It has little stress． D．It has flexible worktime．
33．What does the author want to show by telling the story of Mariana Bechtel？
A．Stress can be turned beneficial． B．Too much stress is harmful to health．
C．It's hard to balance work and family． D．Every job has its own advantage．
34．How can we make stress to our advantage according to the recent research？
A．By refusing the boss's demands． B．By taking up a meaningful job．
C．By supporting co-workers． D．By sticking to our attitude to stress．
35．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean？
A．Stress has far-reaching effects． B．Stress has several disadvantages．
C．Stress has two opposite features． D．Stress is not necessary at all．

At only 9 years old, Lesia Cartelli was badly burnt in a gas explosion at her grandparents’ house. The burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. Lesia could have remained withdrawn for her whole life. But now, this woman uses her painful past to help other burn victims find healing(治愈). “My life got better when I started to look at my life as a gift,” Lesia said.
Lesia started Angel Faces, a national nonprofit organization offering week-long supportive retreats(休养所) for adolescent female burn victims. These retreats, for girls from 11-19 years of age, provide meetings to help the girls heal emotionally.
“She’s like a ball of sunshine,” said Casi Smith, a 17-year-old with burns on her face she received as a baby. “Looking at her, I can see everything she’s been through. But here she is; instead of hiding, she’s helping people. To me, that is amazing. I don’t know if I could ever do that.”
As a woman burned in a gas explosion, Lesia is able to connect with these young ladies on a personal level, as someone who knows what they’re going through. Her heart for helping others motivates fellow burn victims to take control of their circumstances.
All of these women are miracles. They are blessed to have survived horrible accidents most of us can’t even imagine. Yet, surviving the incident is just the beginning. Lesia describes the period following the actual event causing the burns as a “trauma cocoon”. And that’s where she steps in. “I didn’t want any other girl to go through what I had gone through,” she says. “We offer a place where the girls can suffer less pain and begin to really heal.”

Around 50 Mars missions have been launched globally since 1960. Yet more than half of them have failed to reach the planet. So after China’s Mars probe—Tianwen-1, was launched on July 23, Thursday last year, there was an anxious wait to learn its fate.
The news that the craft carrying exploration rover Zhurong landed safely on the surface of the planet on Saturday has therefore been met with both relief and celebration in the country.
That the landing was carried out exactly as planned has made China the latest member, after the United States and Russia, of the club of the world’s pioneering Martin explorers, and shows the reliability of the relevant technologies that China has developed on its own. Though the first Mars mission of the country, it was a brave undertaking: to complete orbiting, landing and roving in one single mission.
It is that can-do spirit of self-reliance（自力更生） that has played a key role in China’s scientific and technological development in recent decades despite some foreign countries’ attempts to prevent its progress. China made its early breakthroughs in rocket and space technologies with its own scientists, engineers and scientific workers starting from the 1960s under very difficult conditions when the country remained largely a backward agricultural country and faced foreign blocks of technology and materials.
However the country has made the most of what it had over the past more than six decades, making continuous efforts to go ahead in the aerospace（航天）cause. Thanks to the hard work and even sacrifices of generations of scientific workers, China has laid a solid foundation for the fast development of its aerospace industry, and has achieved one milestone after another in its space endeavors.
In the human space odyssey, China, with enthusiasm, diligence and willingness to cooperate, will help promote humankind to travel faster and farther.
8. What’s the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a kind of astronomical phenomenon.
B. To recall the development of China’s aerospace exploration.
C. To boost Chinese people’s confidence in aerospace exploration.
D. To state the difficulties China faced in aerospace development.
9. How does the author feel about the development of China’s aerospace industry
A. Confused. B. Proud.
C. Worried. D. Astonished.
10. What can we learn from the text
A. More than half of Mars missions have succeeded since 1960.
B. The exploration rover Zhurong landed on Mars on July, 25 th .
C. The mission of Tianwen-1 was to complete orbiting and landing.
D. China made a breakthrough in space technologies without efforts.

So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.
In the study, researchers conducted various experiments. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it’d be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they didn’t feel more awkward,” said study co-author Amit Kumar.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”. However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the real effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words.”
12. Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study
A. An email. B. A video chat.
C. A text message. D. A letter.
13. What did the participants in the first experiment do
A. They made predictions on the others’ intentions.
B. They made random phone calls to some strangers.
C. They imagined the joy of hearing someone’s voice.
D. They predicted a phone call would be embarrassing.
14. Why does Sabrina Romanoff consider making phone calls convenient
A. It can improve your communication skills.
B. It proves a controlled form of communication.
C. It can make it easier to understand each other.
D. It avoids unexpected additions in conversations.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. You Should Call Instead of Texting B. Technology Builds More Connections
C. Communicate With Your Old Friends D. Voice Communication Is Time-saving

A
The Four Famous Embroideries (刺绣) of China refer to the Xiang embroidery in Hunan Province, Shu embroidery in Sichuan Province, Yue embroidery in Guangdong Province and Su embroidery in Jiangsu Province.
Xiang embroidery
The earliest piece of Xiang embroidery was unearthed at the No. 1 Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha City of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.---A.D. 220). The weaving technique was almost the same as the one used in modern times, which shows that embroidery had already existed in the Han Dynasty. In its later development, it absorbs the characteristics of traditional Chinese paintings and reaches a high artistic level. Xiang embroidery crafts include valuable works of art, as well as products for daily use.
Shu embroidery
Shu embroidery has formed its own unique characteristics: smooth, bright, neat, etc. The works choose flowers, animals, mountains, rivers and human figures as their themes. The craftsmanship of Shu embroidery involves a combination of fine art and practical uses, such as the facings of quilts, pillowcases, coats and screen covers.
Yue embroidery
Influenced by national folk art, Yue embroidered pictures are mainly of dragons and phoenixes (凤凰), and flowers and birds, with neat designs and strong, contrasting colors. Gold-and-silk thread embroidery is widely used, even for crafts of daily use.
Su embroidery
The weaving techniques of Su embroidery are characterized by the flat surface, dense lines, even pictures and harmonious colors. Su embroidery products fall into 3 major categories: costumes, decorations for halls and crafts for daily use. Double-sided embroidery is an excellent representative of Su embroidery.
1. The unearthed embroidery at Mawangdui shows Xiang embroidery’s _______.
A. time-honoured history B. excellent designs
C. artistic value D. advanced techniques
2. If you receive a double-sided embroidery as a gift, it must be ________.
A. Xiang embroidery B. Shu embroidery
C. Yue embroidery D. Su embroidery
3. What do we know about the four famous embroideries
A. All are rootedin folk art. B. All are valuable artworks.
C. All share the same themes. D. All have practical use.
B
He ran between two defenders, pasta third, and a couple of seconds later his team had two more points. At the end of his final game, on April 11, he had scored 30 points.
This was the end of a career for Dwyane Wade, nicknamed “Flash”. It was the 37-year-old’s last game for the Miami Heat and his last appearance on an NBA basketball court. Over his storied career, Wade played in 1,054 regular-season games and 177 post-season games, scored more than 23,000 points, appeared in three NBA championships and earned one Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
Coming from Chicago, Wade’s attitude and style of play moved many people, including former US President Barack Obama. “Whenever you got knocked down, you always showed us how to get back up,” Obama said in a tribute video. “You showed some Chicago spirit... and you did us proud.”
Wade broke down the door to the NBA in 2003 with his outstanding ball-handling skills and jumping ability. He had a strong principle, taking practice as seriously as he took games. He trained in the gym by himself during the off-season and exercised hard to stay in shape.
Wade has also spoken out on social issues. In 2012, 17-year-old Heat fan Trayvon Martin, an African-American, was shot in a racist attack on his way home from watching the NBA All-Star Game. Wade, together with LeBron James, led the Miami Heat squad, pulling up their hoodies (连帽衫) in support of justice for Martin, who had his hoodie up when he was killed. Wade hoped this action would bring attention to racist violence.
In 2003, he founded the Wade’s World Foundation, which provides support to various education, health, and family service programs. “Obviously, I’m one person. I can’t change the world, but I can help affect change in communities,” Wade told ESPN. “That’s what I want to continue to do.”
This is not the end of Wade’s story. He wants to continue fighting for economic and social equality in the US.
4. How many games did Wade play in his professional career
A. 1,054. B.177. C.23,000. D. 1,231.
5. Wade was thought highly of by Obama because of _____________.

7. This passage is mainly about Wade’s _________.
A. outstanding professional career B. legendary life experiences
C. achievements in social equality D. influence in sports and society
C
As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon. Yet this year we marked the 50th anniversary of the famous Apollo 11 mission. As those historic pictures were beamed (传递) back to Earth, millions of us sat transfixed (使…呆住) to our television screens, as we watched Neil Armstrong taking a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind---and, indeed, for womankind. It’s a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.
This year we marked another important anniversary: D-Day. On 6th June 1944, some 156,000 British, Canadian and American forces landed in northern France. It was the largest ever seabourne invasion and was delayed due to bad weather. I well remember the look of concern on my father’s face. He knew the secret D-Day plans but could of course share that burden with no one.
For the 75th anniversary of that decisive battle, in a true spirit of reconciliation (和解), those who had formally been sworn enemies came together in friendly commemorations (纪念) either side of the Channel, putting past differences behind them. Such reconciliation seldom happens overnight. It takes patience and time to rebuild trust, and progress often comes through small steps.
Since the end of the Second World War, many charities, groups and organisations have worked to promote peace and unity around the world, bringing together those who have been on opposing sides. By being willing to put past differences behind us and move forward together, we honour the freedom and democracy (民主) once won for us at so great a cost.
The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference. And, as we all look forward to the start of a new decade, it’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
And so, I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
8. Who does the “I” in the passage probably refer to
A. Neil Armstrong. B. Winston Churchill.
C. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ. D. Donald Trump.
9. What does the underlined word “bumpy” mean in the fifth paragraph
A. Smooth. B. Rough. C. Flat. D. Straight.
10. The passage might be a speech on _______.
A. Christmas Day B. New Year’s Eve
C. the anniversary of D-Day landing D. Victory in Europe Day
11. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To honour the achievements of moon-landing.
B. To remember the victory of D-Day landing.
C. To promote reconciliation across the Channel.
D. To urge efforts for a world of peace and unity.
D
14 days. That’s the time Chinese scientists took to identify the full genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) since its outbreak. It was shared with the WHO immediately, and has now become an important foundation for global researchers in the fight against the COVID-19. But first, let us turn the clock back 17 years, when it took months to identify the SARS virus. From months to 14 days, what changed It turns out AI played an important part.
The scientists first obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (支气管扩张灌洗液) samples from patients, isolated (分离) the DNA and RNA, then sequenced the genetic material by comparing them. AI’s advantage is its ability to recognize patterns among a flood of data.
Let me put it in a simple way. Sequencing the coronavirus genome (基因组) is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack (干草堆)---looking for genotypes (基因型) with specific characteristics from a huge gene pool. That’s where search algorithm (算法), a branch of modern AI, comes in. Think of it as an efficient search engine, which can find the needle in the haystack. This search algorithm can shorten months-long genetic sequencing to weeks or even just a few bined with macro-genomic sequencing and a virus library, this AI technology can also be used in tracking virus mutation (突变).
AI doesn’t just support scientists. It can also help patients by improving the efficiency of diagnosis (诊断). China launched a Genomics Service, which can run multiple virus gene comparisons and produce a detailed report within 60 seconds. This algorithm has been put into use in China and shared to the world for free.
12. AI’s advantage is that it can________.
A. slow down the spread of coronavirus B. separate DNA from RNA
C. identify specific genotypes rapidly D. obtain samples from patients quickly
13. The search algorithm helps shorten the time of genetic sequencing by __________.
A. finding a needle in a haystack B. serving as a search engine
C. combining with a virus library D. tracing virus mutation
14. What do we know about the Genomics Service in the last paragraph
A. It has been widely used in the world. B. Itis mainly based on blood test.
C. Itis for fast diagnosis of COVID-19. D. It is used to track COVID-19 patients.
15. What’s the best title of the passage
A. 14 Days---China Made it! B. AI Assists in COVID-19 Fight
C. Search Algorithm, Best Choice D. China’s Genomics Service
