Based on the theme of “Celebrity Biography”, all the activities are intended to raise our awareness of celebrities’ literary works at home and abroad.

Noticing my bad mood, he asked me what was wrong. Full of deep sorrow, I told him tearfully, “I have been eager to join our school basketball team all the time and I practiced hard. But I failed.” Hearing what I said, my father nodded his head and comforted me, “I hope that the unexpected failure will not let you down. Success is never an easy task, but needs painstaking efforts and patience. I believe you can make it. Cheer up!”
Inspired by what my father said, I decided to work toward my goal. I made a much tighter schedule from then on. I practiced hard for an hour every day to improve the basic skills and strength. To my delight, I was finally recognized by the coach, who said that I showed great talent in sports. When hearing that, I could hardly contain myself and yelled excitedly, "Yeah! I made it!" All my efforts and persistence paid off!

18.答案：C
19.答案：A
20.答案：B
解析：M/W: Alice works at a local department store. She spends most of her day interacting with customers and co-workers. There’s a lot of talking involved, but there’s also another form of nonverbal communication that’s being used just as often —body language. We read body language and interpret it as some expressions of feelings or intentions. Even before she speaks, she may be communicating all kinds of things to customers. For example, Alice has a habit —she sometimes stands with her arms folded across her body. So customers may find her to be very unfriendly. However, Alice is a friendly person, even though her body language suggests otherwise. But if Alice is aware of her habit, she can work on improving her body language. This awareness can also be applied to reading others body language. Let’s say Alice notices that her co-worker Tim is unusually quiet and turns his body away from her. She can know that he’s upset. Depending on Alice’s relationship with him, she may want to give him some space or ask if anything is wrong.福州市五校2023-2024学年第一学期高二英语

Tired of your winter break Here comes a list of best sellers on Amazon.com
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns
by Julie C. Dao
The first book in the Rise of the Empress series takes the bones of a traditional fairy tale—a poor girl fated for power, an evil queen determined to stop her, love for someone who doesn’t love back and magic— and gives them a richly imagined East Asian setting.
Born a Crime
By Noah Trevor
Born a Crime is the story of a naughty young boy in South Africa, who grows into a restless young man, the author of the book, as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless and religious mother. “Don't cry, Trevor. Trevor, listen. Listen to me. Listen.” “My child, you must look on the bright side.” It was Mother's faith and positive attitude that shaped the young man.
Two Can Keep a Secret
By Karen M. MeManus
Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders. As threats and clues pile up, you’ll be burning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn.
Dune
By Frank Herbert
If the Star Wars movies have made you fall in love with the space opera, eventually you're going to read Frank Herbert's most famous creation. The story of centuries-old political plotting — about warring factions (派系) battling over control of the extremely valuable planet Arrakis — is a classic and remains a wonderful introduction to the larger, more complex world of science fiction just beyond the Star Wars trilogies.
21. Which book is about growth
A. Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. B. Born a Crime.
C. Two Can Keep a Secret. D. Dune.
22. What is Two Can Keep a Secret mainly about
A. A poor girl with special power. B. A girl's space adventures.
C. The murders remaining to be settled. D. Battling for control of another planet.
23. What kind of book is Dune
A. A love story. B. A fairy tale. C. An autobiography. D. A science-fiction story.
B
People are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles. Working in a public health unit, I probably have more daily interaction with syringes (注射器) than the average person. But the truth is, having my blood drawn scares me.
When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. A few months before I turned 30, my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam. I panicked. Sensing my fear, she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). "Dr. M helped my other patients with the same fear," she said.
When Dr. M called to set up an appointment, I hesitated. Talking about personal problems to a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. "A psychiatrist " Mother asked. "He'll just put you on drugs. Can't you get over this yourself " I almost listened. But I went to Dr. M's clinic finally. "Phobias (恐惧症) are pretty easy to treat," he said. I wasn't convinced of his words. But despite my doubts, I was running out of options.
We started with basic exposure treatment. I watched videos of blood being drawn every day. As I started to feel more at ease with needles, Dr. M suggested drawing blood. As he gently pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at the needle. It wasn't so bad. I didn't pass out. "You're doing well," Dr. M said.
I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn, but thanks to several months of treatment, I'm less scared. I hate to admit it, but Dr. M is right — phobias can be treated. Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end.
24. What caused the author's phobia
A. Her sensitivity to pains. B. Her bad medical experience.
C. Her anxiety about the blood test. D. Her regular contact with syringes.
25. What was the author's mother's attitude toward her appointment with Dr. M
A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
26. What can we know about the author's treatment
A. It centered on watching videos.
B. It eased the author's pain totally.
C. It was smoother than expected.
D. It cost the author a great deal of money.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Walk toward what scares us B. Ups and downs make one strong
C. Bravery brings us a happier life D. Nurse our mental health carefully
C
An unconventional method for growing rice has been found to increase yields by 20 to 50 percent. Reports from China, India, Southeast Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the “system of rice intensification (SRI)”， which needs one tenth as many seeds and aims to stimulate the root system of plants rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved seeds and fertilizers.
The idea of using less to gain more is seen as an important innovation for adapting farming to climate change and a way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but traditional plant breeding and genetically modified (转基因的) techniques have failed to increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Norman Uphoff, professor of International Agriculture at Cornell University.
The new way to grow rice needs only half as much water, and proves most popular in water stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph.D. researcher.“Rice growing in Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and warmer summers.”
“SRI is a great technique, not just from the water saving perspective but because it offers better yields and soil conditions. Different studies, both at the experimental level and farmer participative level, have shown that SRI improves yields with less water.” Shah adds.
Some academics, the global seed industry and the international community once rejected reports of “fantastic” yields, blaming farmers for falsifying records and researchers of carelessness and “non science”．But more than 600 articles, checked by SRI International Network and Resources Center at Cornell University, have shown benefits.
Uphoff says, “Attitudes are changing. The original hostility (敌意) has gone.” However, the early opposition has resulted in comparatively little scientific research being conducted into SRI and a slow understanding by funders.
28. How does SRI increase the yields of rice
A. By using improved seeds. B. By improving its root system
C. By sowing more seeds. D. By adopting special fertilizers.
29. From the farming method, which area may need SRI technology most
A. Australia B. Thailand C. Japan D. Iraq
30. What does the underlined word "falsifying" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Adding. B. Faking. C. Setting. D. Defending.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to increase yields
B. People's attitudes towards SRI.
C. An innovative means of growing rice.
D. The disadvantages of conventional plant breeding.

Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. 32 Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense.
However, scientists will need to teraform（地球化）Mars for people to be able to live, which means changing the environment on Mars so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature is about-60℃. 33 This could take many centuries. However，it should lead to rainfall and growth of plants, resulting in more air for people to breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. 34 Some people living there said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. 35
One particular organization is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. 36 Anyway, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than people believe.
A. However, many experts think it can cost too much money.
B. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive.
C. NASA believes new astronauts should be chosen for future missions immediately.
D. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there producing greenhouse gases.
E. Besides, the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
F. It'll prevent us learning about the ability of humans to live in a different environment.
G. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy.

阅读下面材料，根据其所给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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze. It felt as though my soul departed my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the roster (名单) posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze. I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team while I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey coach, are you sure that the roster you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading (担心) his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year, there is always next year,” the coach replied.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Trying to forget about the situation, I headed over to the cafeteria to buy some food. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day. Everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the rear of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being the only one in our friend group failing to make the team.
