体裁:议论文 题材:太空探索
[江苏连云港高级中学2022高二期中]Around the country and around the world, there is no shortage of human suffering. Poverty, disease, violence, hurricanes, wildfire and more are constantly troubling humanity, and even our best efforts thus far can’t address all of everybody’s needs. Many are looking for places to cut funding, and one of the first places that comes up in conversation is excessive spending on space exploration. What good is it to conduct microgravity experiments repeatedly when children are starving Why launch so many space related projects when nuclear war threatens our planet
This is a line of thinking that has been coming up throughout history. Yes, it’s short sighted, in that it fails to recognise that our greatest problems require long term investment, and that society’s greatest advances come about through hard work, research, development, and often are realised decades after that is made. Investing in science is investing in the betterment of humanity.

Over these years, many of the results of the space research have been adapted to be applicable to our daily lives. For example, NASA’s advancements in the areas of robotics have given manufacturers an additional basis for the development of more advanced artificial limbs. Additionally, certain nutritional enrichment ingredients (成分) that were developed by NASA have been integrated into baby food formula.
Space technology has also helped improve economies. Within the next three years, the space exploration and space tourism industry are expected to be valued at $3 trillion. It is true that for every dollar we spend on the space programme, the US economy receives about $8 of economic benefit. Space exploration can also serve as the motivation for children to enter the fields of science and engineering.
To many people, the idea of space travel may still seem far from practical. However, I believe that it is important that we keep going forward or we’ll risk delaying further discoveries and technological advancements that will be beneficial for us.

[湖北荆州中学2022高二期末]In the waves of human exploration into space, our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing.In just half a century, China has made remarkable aviation exploration success. After landing probes on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system—the sun.
Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 508 kilogramme Chinese H Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct 14, 2021 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in Shanxi Province. It then entered a sun synchronous orbit about 517 kilometres above Earth.
“The spacecraft is China’s first space based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years,” Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily.
Its scientific payload is an H Alpha imaging spectrograph. The H Alpha band is one of the best spectral lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in
the sun’s physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists’ studies of the dynamics and
physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily.

Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one dedicated to solar observation.
“Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.
Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post.
“Our country is ranked No.2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”

[黑龙江省实验中学2022高二月考]
How Is Eating in Space Different From Eating on Earth
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly the most important one, is nutrition. __1__ Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
__2__ If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission (task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. __3__ A loose knife bouncing around inside the cabin would be dangerous.

刷7选5
__4__ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. __5__ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A.Taste is also important.
B.Finally, weight is an important concern.
C.Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D.Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E.Nutrition and practicality (实用) are important things to consider.
F.For the same reason, sharp knives and forks are never used on board.
G.Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.

A
体裁:记叙文 题材:个人经历
[天津河东区2022高二期中]When I volunteered to spend a summer on a land based whale watching project in the West of Scotland, the project secretary warned me, “You have to be able to detect the whales from the shore—it’s not as easy as you think.” Although I assumed I was well qualified for the job, at the start of the project I had a few embarrassing moments screaming “Whale!” before realising that what I was pointing out were only waves breaking over underwater rocks, not sea creatures at all! After a while, I trained my eyes to “see”—to distinguish between waves hitting rocks and the rolling movement of whales underwater.
I spent a lot of time just watching the sea through my binoculars, looking actively for anything that indicated sea life below. My binoculars enabled me to spot the fins of a dolphin against the darkness of the sea, and without a good pair of binoculars I definitely would have missed out on lots of amazing sea life.

Exercise 1 刷阅读理解
In addition, I eventually realised that the birds provide us with signals that whales and dolphins may be in the area. Where there is a group of feeding seabirds such as seagulls or gannets, there is often a whale feeding under them. Gannets are really easy to spot from a distance—they drop out of the sky at speeds of up to 100 kph, spearing the surface and sending bursts of water up behind them.
If you want to try this activity, it is worth organising and planning carefully for whale watching. I recommend having a notebook and pencil nearby to record details of what you’ve seen and the environmental conditions at the time. This is not only a helpful aid in general, but you can also contribute your sightings to research projects such as the Sea Watch Foundation, which are monitoring the distribution of whales and dolphins.
Despite the early disappointments I had, I think there is undoubtedly something very special about watching whales. Nothing can compare with the secret thrill and the peacefulness of seeing a wild animal just doing its own thing.

体裁:说明文 题材:科学技术
[湖南长沙一中2022月考]It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63 year old woman until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to wrestle her purse away. She was in a state of shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe Personal Alarm (SPA) on her purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started just screaming. The man didn’t know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125 dB sound that attracts attention and scares away potential attackers. To compare, it’s the same volume as a military jet during take off.

Exercise 1 刷阅读理解
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in. But that’s not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it’s there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I’d have thought of it earlier,” said Paul.
The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock and being sold out nearly every other week, and it’s also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.

Tips for Successful Gift Giving
Good gift giving is an art.The perfect present can lighten one’s mood or cement a relationship.Whatever the occasion, gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration. __1__ Here are some useful tips for gift giving.
Don’t add a small gift to a big gift.When we receive gifts in a bundle, we tend to unconsciously average out their value, so a small gift tacked onto (附加) a big one will hurt the latter’s impact. __2__
__3__ Taking a dream vacation or seeing your favourite artist in concert will give you memories that last forever. Experiences often have more thoughts added to memories, and they create more vivid memories. We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two week holiday to Florida—the memories and the emotional attachment to experiences are greater than to physical objects.
Think like the receiver. __4__ That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we’d like. People tend to use gifts as jokes and encouragement to change one’s ways, or to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility or happiness for the receiver.
Part Ⅲ 单元限时作业
Exercise 1 刷7选5
Remember there’s a reason why we say that it’s the thought that counts. __5__ Most people don’t want lots of money spent on them—they just want you to think about them, and that can be done in lots of easy ways.
A.Give things you like best.
B.So there are a set of rules to follow.
C.Give experiences rather than things.
D.Don’t forget why you are giving gifts.
E.Buy things your receiver would buy for themselves.
F.When you give others gifts, never forget to choose the expensive things.
G.When it comes to gift giving, remember that sometimes less is more.

【语篇导读】送出合适的礼物是一门艺术。完美的礼物可以改善心情或改善关系,本文主要介绍送礼物的一些技巧。
1.B 根据设空处前一句中的gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration可知,送礼物需要仔细考虑。设空处后一句表示下文给出一些有用的送礼物的建议,且下文也与送礼物的规则有关,由此可推知,设空处应是说我们送礼物时需要遵守一些规则,B项承上启下,故选B项。
2.G 根据第二段的主旨句“不要把小礼物附加在大礼物上”及第二句的描述可知,小的礼物和大的礼物一起送出会影响大礼物的价值,意思是只送大的礼物就可以了,去掉小的礼物。G项中的sometimes less is more与此处相呼应。故选G项。
3.C 第三段第二句举例说明度假或观看演唱会将给你持久的回忆,第三句解释体验带给人的回忆是生动的,第四句对比说明亲身的体验所附带的回忆和情感远远大于物品。由此可判断本段的主旨是建议送人体验而非物件。故选C项。
4.E 根据第四段首句Think like the receiver.可知,本段主题为“站在收礼物的人的角度考虑”,E项“买收礼物的人会给自己买的东西”符合语境,其中receiver为原词复现。

大多数人并不希望别人为自己花很多钱,此处提醒我们不要忘记自己为什么要送礼物,故选D项。

Mrs Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt it my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out.I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.
With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned (皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (无思想的) pianist.

After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music ” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you ” Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now a princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers.

Suddenly the music changed. With her fingers hitting the keys harder, I sensed something dangerous getting closer to the princess. “Now the princess has slipped into the river and is being carried away by the rough water,” Pasha explained. At this moment, I felt myself sweating all over and my heart was beating faster.After a while, the pace of the music became slower and slower. “What is happening ” I asked. “The princess is saved by a fisherman,” She smiled. Hearing these words, I let out a sigh of relief.
That day means a lot in my musical life. Pasha’s way of teaching made a great difference to my understanding of music. Actually, it was her story that made me fall in love with music. Nowadays, whenever I play a piece of music on the piano, I become completely lost in my music. I know that I’m not only playing the music to the audience, but also creating a world that listens to my stories.
