A good point of reference is to first look at attractions labeled as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites are culturally or physically significant places listed by the United Nations for their importance to humanity as a whole.The Mogao Caves, ChinaAlso known as the Mogao Grottoes the caves are located along the cliffside above the Daquan River in Gansu province. First built in 366 and comprising 492 caves, the Mogao Caves are known as the biggest collection of Buddhist art in the world. The Mogao Caves, vital sites on the historic Silk Road, are a perfect display of Chinese art history over a period of a thousand years.Redwood National Park, USLying in the mountainous region north of San Francisco in California, US, the Redwood National Park is significant for its collection of redwood trees—the tallest and oldest trees in the world—as well as its variety of sea and land wildlife. Once abundant throughout the mild regions of the world, the Redwood trees of California are among the only living examples left of this old plant species, a biological group which has existed for 160 million years.Machu Picchu, PeruSituated in the Andes Mountains, this fascinating ancient city is remarkable both for its beautiful setting as well as its use of complex city planning.

In this blizzard weather, it was the only restaurant that remained open.The restaurant has a long history in Hong Kong. Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running the restaurant since 2007.“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years” Peter said. “Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-cent bowl of rice was too expensive, but now a $20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant, featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said, “We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can’t fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person’s effort.”He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought.Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman’s spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.4.

He cares about the taste of the dishes rather than customers’ complaints.CA robot created at Standford University is diving down to shipwrecks (沉船) in a way that humans can’t do. Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like they’re underwater explorers, too.OceanOneK resembles (像) a human diver from the front, with arms, hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color. The back of the robot has computers and eight multidirectional thrusters (推进器) that help it carefully explore the sites of fragile shipwrecks. When an operator at the ocean’s surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK, the robot’s touch-based feedback system causes the person to feel the water’s resistance.The idea for OceanOneK came from a desire to study coral reefs in the Red Sea at depths beyond the normal range for divers. While OccanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet, researchers had a new goal:1 kilometer, hence the new name for OceanOneK. The researchers changed the robot’s body by using special foam to increase buoyancy (浮力) and fight the pressures of 1, 000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level. OceanOneK also got two new types of hands and increased arm and head motion.During OceanOneK’s deep dive in February, team members discovered the robot couldn’t rise when they stopped for a thruster check. Flotations on the communications and power line had collapsed, causing the line to pile on the top of the robot.OceanOneK’s descent was a success. It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads, “A robot’s first touch of the deep seafloor — A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib, a professor, called the experience an “incredible journey.” “This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth, interacting with the environment, and permitting the human operator to feel that environment,” he said.8. What can we learn about OceanOneK A. Its eyes are colorful.B. It functions automatically.C. It looks like its operator from the front.D. It is remotely controlled to explore underwater.9. How does the author develop the third paragraph A. By listing data. B. By raising questions.C By reasoning and analyzing. D. By presenting an argument.10. What does the underlined words “descent” mean in the last paragraph A. Successful operation. B. Deep diving.C. Pressure resistance. D. Flexible exploration.11. What is a suitable title for the text A. A Creative Explorer B. The Ambitious ExplorationC. A Self-driven Seeker — A Robot D. A Deep-Sea Explorer — OceanOneKDIncreased human activity and climate change have caused a rise of algae (藻类植物) in water bodies around the world—sometimes choking ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. In more extreme cases, they can produce dangerous poisons that can sicken or kill people and animals. But the plenty of algae could prove crucial as our population rises beyond eight billion people worldwide because algae are crops that don’t need land, freshwater, or fertilizer to fill nutritional gaps.And even though they are so closely associated with human’s bad impact on Earth, algae could also play vital roles in slowing climate change and helping fight against pollution, viruses, and more. With microplastic pollution documented in almost all habitats related to water, a study showed that algae can help filter microplastics from water. Algae can also filter chemicals that can be used for fertilizer.Algae can produce more effective biofuel than traditional sources. Rescarchers at a German algae growing facility are already using it to fuel plane. Researchers believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon released from airplanes by up to 80 percent.Animal feed containing a kind of red algae reduces harmful methane(甲烷)released from cattle by more than 80 percent. The addition works by changing the environment in a cow’s stomach, stopping the production of methane before it can be released.Red algae can stop the copies of some viruses, and have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune (免疫的) system and could become a powerful anti-HIV medicine.In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to change the CO2 breathed out by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.12. What can we know about algae from the first paragraph A. Better late than never. B. Every coin has two sides.C. All is well that ends well. D. Two heads are better than one.13. Why do algae have a positive impact on environment A. They avoid climate change. B. They absorb pollutants in the air.C. They reduce microplastics in the water. D. They filter most poisonous chemicals.14. What can algae help in our life A. Change animal feed into methane.B. Store carbon released from airplanes.C. Help researchers to create traditional sources.D. Create biofuel and reduce methane in cows’s stomach.15. How do algae benefit human’s health A. By helping fight against diseases. B. By increasing human’s strength.C. By producing more oxygen than other plants. D. By replacing much food for astronauts.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。There’re a variety of different reasons for us to save money.

My parents rented the first floor of a two-storey house. My job that summer was to take care of my three-year-old brother, Joey. There wasn’t much to do, but one thing that kept me happy was spending time with our house owner, a young Italian mother-to-be. They called her Catuzza. It was Italian for “sweet little Catherine.” She was well into her pregnancy, happy though she was, but she was also lonely much of the time. She knew very little English, and during the day she missed her husband a great deal. He was a shoemaker and worked long hours to support his growing family.Catuzza enjoyed spending time with little Joey and me. It was also always nice for children to feel that adults enjoyed being with them, and we knew that she enjoyed time with us. My little brother had golden hair. She loved to play with his hair, running her fingers through it. d Her smile always made me feel that she was wondering about her own small child, not yet born. Sometimes when the baby kicked, she would let us touch her stomach. Once, when Joey was close by, the baby kicked as if it showed a response to Joey’s gentle stroke. Gradually, Joey’s company made Catuzza no longer feel lonely.After that summer, my family moved to another part of the city, where Joey and I spent the rest of our childhood, but we still kept in touch with Catuzza. I went on to finish school and became a writer. My brother Joey grew up to join the army, go to college, work for the New York State Department of Labor — and, suddenly, discover at age 35 that he had leukaemia, which was cancer of the blood. The disease was killing him.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。However, Joey wanted to live.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Then I realised that the unborn baby saved my brother’s life.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力1—5 ABCBA 6—10 ACBAC 11—15 BABAC 16—20CACCB大连市 2022～2023学年度第二学期期末考试高二英语注意事项：1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的名字、准考证号填写在答题卡上。2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。例：How much is the shirt A. 19. 15.

Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like they’re underwater explorers, too.OceanOneK resembles (像) a human diver from the front, with arms, hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color. The back of the robot has computers and eight multidirectional thrusters (推进器) that help it carefully explore the sites of fragile shipwrecks. When an operator at the ocean’s surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK, the robot’s touch-based feedback system causes the person to feel the water’s resistance.The idea for OceanOneK came from a desire to study coral reefs in the Red Sea at depths beyond the normal range for divers. While OccanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet, researchers had a new goal:1 kilometer, hence the new name for OceanOneK. The researchers changed the robot’s body by using special foam to increase buoyancy (浮力) and fight the pressures of 1, 000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level. OceanOneK also got two new types of hands and increased arm and head motion.During OceanOneK’s deep dive in February, team members discovered the robot couldn’t rise when they stopped for a thruster check. Flotations on the communications and power line had collapsed, causing the line to pile on the top of the robot.OceanOneK’s descent was a success. It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads, “A robot’s first touch of the deep seafloor — A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib, a professor, called the experience an “incredible journey.” “This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth, interacting with the environment, and permitting the human operator to feel that environment,” he said.8. What can we learn about OceanOneK A. Its eyes are colorful.B. It functions automatically.C. It looks like its operator from the front.D. It is remotely controlled to explore underwater.9. How does the author develop the third paragraph A. By listing data. B. By raising questions.C. By reasoning and analyzing. D. By presenting an argument.10. What does the underlined words “descent” mean in the last paragraph A. Successful operation. B. Deep diving.C. Pressure resistance. D. Flexible exploration.11. What is a suitable title for the text A. A Creative Explorer B. The Ambitious ExplorationC A Self-driven Seeker — A Robot D. A Deep-Sea Explorer — OceanOneK【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了一款深海探测机器人OceanOneK。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like they’re underwater explorers, too.(该机器人被称为OceanOneK，它让操作员感觉自己也是水下探险家)”，第二段“OceanOneK resembles (像) a human diver from the front, with arms, hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color.(OceanOneK从正面看就像一个人类潜水员，手臂、手和眼睛捕捉到了全彩色的水下世界)”及“When an operator at the ocean’s surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK, the robot’s touch-based feedback system causes the person to feel the water’s resistance.(当操作员在海面上使用控制装置来指挥OceanOneK时，机器人基于触摸的反馈系统会使人感受到水的阻力)”可知，OceanOneK是被人远程控制的，可以在水下探险。故选D项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While OccanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet, researchers had a new goal: 1 kilometer, hence the new name for OceanOneK. The researchers changed the robot’s body by using special foam to increase buoyancy and fight the pressures of 1, 000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level.(虽然OccanOneK的设计最大深度为656英尺，但研究人员有了一个新的目标：1公里，因此OceanOneK有了新名称。研究人员通过使用特殊的泡沫来改变机器人的身体，以增加浮力，并对抗1000米的压力，这是人类在海平面上所承受的压力的100多倍)”可知，文章第三段通过列数据来开展。故选A项。【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线词后文“It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads, “A robot’s first touch of the deep seafloor — A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib, a professor, called the experience an “incredible journey.” “This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth, interacting with the environment, and permitting the human operator to feel that environment,” he said.(它在海床上留下了一块纪念碑，上面写着：“机器人第一次触摸深海——一个供人类探索的广阔新世界。”哈提卜教授称这次经历是一次“不可思议的旅程”。他说：“这是机器人第一次能够到达这样的深度，与环境互动，并让人类操作员感受到那种环境。”)”可知，机器人OceanOneK成功潜入深海，descent与Deep diving“深潜”意思接近。故选B项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A robot created at Standford University is diving down to shipwrecks in a way that humans can’t do. Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like they’re underwater explorers, too.(斯坦福大学发明的一个机器人能以人类无法做到的方式潜入沉船。这个被称为OceanOneK的机器人让它的操作员也感觉自己是水下探险家)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了一款能进行深海探险的机器人OceanOneK。A Deep-Sea Explorer — OceanOneK“深海探险家——OceanOneK”作为最佳标题，符合题意。故选D项。DIncreased human activity and climate change have caused a rise of algae (藻类植物) in water bodies around the world—sometimes choking ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. In more extreme cases, they can produce dangerous poisons that can sicken or kill people and animals. But the plenty of algae could prove crucial as our population rises beyond eight billion people worldwide because algae are crops that don’t need land, freshwater, or fertilizer to fill nutritional gaps.And even though they are so closely associated with human’s bad impact on Earth, algae could also play vital roles in slowing climate change and helping fight against pollution, viruses, and more. With microplastic pollution documented in almost all habitats related to water, a study showed that algae can help filter microplastics from water. Algae can also filter chemicals that can be used for fertilizer.Algae can produce more effective biofuel than traditional sources. Rescarchers at a German algae growing facility are already using it to fuel plane. Researchers believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon released from airplanes by up to 80 percent.Animal feed containing a kind of red algae reduces harmful methane(甲烷)released from cattle by more than 80 percent. The addition works by changing the environment in a cow’s stomach, stopping the production of methane before it can be released.Red algae can stop the copies of some viruses, and have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune (免疫的) system and could become a powerful anti-HIV medicine.In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to change the CO2 breathed out by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.12. What can we know about algae from the first paragraph A. Better late than never. B. Every coin has two sides.C. All is well that ends well. D. Two heads are better than one.13. Why do algae have a positive impact on environment A. They avoid climate change. B. They absorb pollutants in the air.C. They reduce microplastics in the water. D. They filter most poisonous chemicals.14. What can algae help in our life A. Change animal feed into methane.B. Store carbon released from airplanes.C. Help researchers to create traditional sources.D. Create biofuel and reduce methane in cows’s stomach.15. How do algae benefit human’s health A. By helping fight against diseases. B. By increasing human’s strength.C. By producing more oxygen than other plants. D. By replacing much food for astronauts.【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了藻类植物与人类对地球的不良影响密切相关，它们也可以在减缓气候变化、帮助对抗污染、病毒等方面发挥重要作用。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Increased human activity and climate change have caused a rise of algae (藻类植物) in water bodies around the world—sometimes choking ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. In more extreme cases, they can produce dangerous poisons that can sicken or kill people and animals. But the plenty of algae could prove crucial as our population rises beyond eight billion people worldwide because algae are crops that don’t need land, freshwater, or fertilizer to fill nutritional gaps.(人类活动的增加和气候变化导致世界各地水体中藻类的增加，有时会阻碍生态系统的阳光和氧气。在更极端的情况下，它们会产生危险的毒物，使人和动物生病或死亡。但随着全球人口超过80亿，大量的藻类可能变得至关重要，因为藻类是不需要土地、淡水或肥料来填补营养缺口的作物)”可推知，藻类植物体现了凡事都有两面性。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“With microplastic pollution documented in almost all habitats related to water, a study showed that algae can help filter microplastics from water.(几乎所有与水有关的栖息地都有微塑料污染记录，一项研究表明，藻类可以帮助过滤水中的微塑料)”可知，藻类对环境有积极的影响是因为可以减少水中的微塑料。故选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Animal feed containing a kind of red algae reduces harmful methane(甲烷)released from cattle by more than 80 percent. The addition works by changing the environment in a cow’s stomach, stopping the production of methane before it can be released.(含有一种红藻的动物饲料可以将牛释放的有害甲烷减少80%以上。这种添加剂的工作原理是改变奶牛胃里的环境，在甲烷被释放之前阻止它的产生)”可知，藻类可以制造生物燃料，减少奶牛胃里的甲烷。故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Red algae can stop the copies of some viruses, and have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune (免疫的) system and could become a powerful anti-HIV medicine.(红藻可以阻止一些病毒的复制，并已被证明可以刺激人体的免疫系统，并可能成为一种强大的抗艾滋病毒药物)”可知，藻类可以帮助对抗疾病，有益人体健康。故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。There’re a variety of different reasons for us to save money.

My job that summer was to take care of my three-year-old brother, Joey. There wasn’t much to do, but one thing that kept me happy was spending time with our house owner, a young Italian mother-to-be. They called her Catuzza. It was Italian for “sweet little Catherine.” She was well into her pregnancy, happy though she was, but she was also lonely much of the time. She knew very little English, and during the day she missed her husband a great deal. He was a shoemaker and worked long hours to support his growing family.Catuzza enjoyed spending time with little Joey and me. It was also always nice for children to feel that adults enjoyed being with them, and we knew that she enjoyed time with us. My little brother had golden hair. She loved to play with his hair, running her fingers through it. d Her smile always made me feel that she was wondering about her own small child, not yet born. Sometimes when the baby kicked, she would let us touch her stomach. Once, when Joey was close by, the baby kicked as if it showed a response to Joey’s gentle stroke. Gradually, Joey’s company made Catuzza no longer feel lonely.After that summer, my family moved to another part of the city, where Joey and I spent the rest of our childhood, but we still kept in touch with Catuzza. I went on to finish school and became a writer. My brother Joey grew up to join the army, go to college, work for the New York State Department of Labor — and, suddenly, discover at age 35 that he had leukaemia, which was cancer of the blood. The disease was killing him.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。However, Joey wanted to live.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Then I realised that the unborn baby saved my brother’s life.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】范文However Joey wanted to live. In Albany he found hope and strength in a very good doctor who was single-minded in his ambition to treat patients. The doctor kept Joey alive until he was able to start a new miracle drug that finally stopped his cancer. On hearing good news, I went to the hospital to show my gratitude to the doctor. Waiting for the doctor, my eyes were suddenly caught by a photo of the doctor and his mother, whose smiling face would never fade from our memory.Then I realised that the unborn baby saved my brother’s life. I told my brother how his hand stroked the tummy of Catuzza and felt the baby. Never would any of us have imagined that the unborn baby would one day save the life of the little child feel it kick. What a pleasant surprise! With happy tears streaming down Joey’s face, he hugged doctor tightly and felt the warmth of the baby directly this time. It’s love that makes an extraordinarily lucky ending.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者11岁那年的夏天要照顾三岁的弟弟Joey，让作者高兴的事是和房东Catuzza一起玩耍，Catuzza怀了孕，丈夫在外长时间工作，她很孤独，她喜欢和作者以及Joey在一起，有一次当Joey靠近时，婴儿踢了起来，好像是对Joey温柔抚摸的反应，后来作者一家搬走了，但仍和Catuzza保持联系，多年后，35岁的Joey患上了白血病。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“然而Joey想活下去”可知，第一段可描写Joey遇到了优秀的医生，医生治好了他的疾病，作者在向医生表示感谢时看到了那位医生和母亲的照片。②由第二段首句内容“然后我意识到那个未出生的孩子救了我弟弟的命”可知，第二段可描写作者认出医生就是房东的孩子后众人的反应。2.续写线索：治好疾病——去向医生表示感谢——被照片吸引——得知医生就是房东的孩子——惊喜——Joey拥抱医生——感悟3.词汇激活行为类①能够：be able to/be capable of②消失：fade from/disappear③拥抱：hug/embrace情绪类①感激：gratitude/appreciation②快乐：happy/joyful【点睛】[高分句型1] In Albany he found hope and strength in a very good doctor who was single-minded in his ambition to treat patients.
