In London, she has been named as the Guinness World Records ICON: a new category of the most excellent records introduced for the book’s 2025 edition, to honor the cream of the crop of record-breaking achievements.Originally from Turkiye, where she lives with her family, the 27-year-old, standing at 215.16 cm, achieved global fame thanks to her record-breaking height: a status that is fully matched by her drive and determined efforts to make the world a more inclusive, kinder place.After being recognized as the tallest living female when she was 17, Rumeysa was confirmed to be the tallest woman living in 2021. She also holds the records for the largest hands, the longest back and the longest ears on a woman.Rumeysa’s impressive height is due to a condition called Weaver syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition that causes bone overgrowth. Doctors have only identified about 50 cases of Weaver syndrome worldwide. Rumeysa was the 27th case ever diagnosed, and the first ever in Turkiye.Although the record holder has challenged stereotype (刻板印象) all her life and faced horrible situation, she never allowed hardships and negativity to stop her: as she works as an ambassador for diversity and positivity, her powerful voice continues to inspire and educate the crowds.Home-schooled, Rumeysa now designs a website and actively uses the platform to raise awareness about her condition.4. Which is the closest in meaning to “the cream of the crop” underlined in Para. 1 A. The first. B. The best. C. The tallest. D. The smallest.5. What made Rumeysa known worldwide A. Her journey to London. B. Her effort in work.C. Her medical condition. D. Her impressive height.6. What do we learn about Rumeysa A. She suffers from a bone disease. B. She experienced hardships at school.C. She creates her own web page. D. She works as an online educator.7. What can be the most suitable title for the text A. Rumeysa: The Tallest Woman B. Overgrowth: The Worst ConditionC. Celebration: A New World Record D. Positivity: A Source of InspirationCDo you feel like you always need to use GPS to get around Never quite sure if it’s a left or a right turn — even though you just looked at a map Are you tired of outsourcing your own body’s sense of direction to an app It can be anxiety-inducing, but researchers who study this topic believe that you can do something to gain more confidence while navigating.“Let go of your fear of getting lost, be observant and practice keeping a sense of direction in your head as you travel,” says Mary Hegarty, a cognitive psychologist at the Spatial Thinking Lab at University of California. An over-reliance on GPS can also lead to a narrower view of your surroundings, she says. “You’re not paying attention to the broader environment that gives you cues of where you are in space.”In fact, people who have a good internal compass may have a deeper connection to the world around them, says Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. He studied the brains of London cab drivers, who are required to memorize about 25,000 street names in the city in order to get the job. And he found that once the cab drivers mastered the names, they had a real sense of ownership of the city — and greater power over their environment.If you want to gain confidence on the road or be less reliant on GPS to get around, just turn off your GPS and get lost on purpose to boost your sense of direction. Next time you go for a stroll or drive down a street, and you’re not pressed for time, try to find your way around town, then see if you can make it back home without a GPS from your destination, says Ben Gero, an outdoor recreation specialist with Cleveland Metroparks, who helps kids from the city get used to the outdoors and teaches skills like navigation.8. Why did the author raise the questions in the first paragraph A. To introduce the topic. B. To emphasize the importance of GPS.C. To describe a phenomenon. D. To explain the concept of navigation.9. According to Mary Hegarty, what should you do when traveling A. Give up on the use of GPS. B. Observe the narrow environment.C. Take notice of your surroundings. D. Practice space thinking in your head.10. What’s the purpose of mentioning London cab drivers in Para. 3 A. To prove cab drivers’ good memories.B. To illustrate Hugo Spiers’ points of view.C. To present the situation of public transport.D. To show the requirements for driving a cab.11. Which of the following would Ben Gero most likely agree with A. Getting around outdoors less.B. Relying more on navigation system.C. Improving your own sense of direction.D. Using memory tricks to remember places.DResearchers think they’ve observed “dark oxygen” being created on the Pacific Ocean floor, potentially challenging commonly held ideas about how oxygen appeared on Earth.Until now, it was thought that oxygen was created only through photosynthesis (光合作用), a process that requires sunlight. But the discovery casts doubt on that theory and raises new questions about the origins of life itself.The scientists aren’t certain how oxygen is created at such dark depths, but they believe it’s being produced by electrically charged minerals called polymetallic nodules (多金属结核). These nodules — “effective batteries in a rock”, professor Sweetman said— may use their electric charge to separate hydrogen (氢气) and oxygen from seawater.“The traditional view is that oxygen was first produced around three billion years ago and there was a gradual development of complex life after that,” said Sweetman. “The potential that there was another source requires us to have a rethink.”Researchers conducted tests on the seafloor and also collected nodules to test above ground, and they got the same result: that oxygen levels increased near the nodules.Franz Geiger, a professor who worked on the study, said that there may be enough polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean to meet global energy demands for decades. But he also said that mining would have to be conducted in a way that did not affect life forms in that part of the ocean.Companies conducted exploratory missions for deep-sea mining in the 1970s and 1980s, Geiger said, and recent research suggests that those missions may have had effects on sea life in the area for decades.“A few years ago, a team of scientists went back to those areas that were mined 40 years ago and found essentially no life,” Geiger said. “And then a few hundred meters over to the left and right, where the nodules were untouched, there are plenty of life.”12. What was challenged according to the passage A. The way oxygen is produced. B. The theory of photosynthesis.C. The process of life development. D. The belief that oxygen is crucial.13. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their tests A. Sunlight is necessary in creating oxygen.B. Seafloor is the best place to store oxygen.C. Seawater is made up of hydrogen and oxygen.D. Polymetallic nodules may be the source of oxygen.14. What might Geiger think of the deep-sea mining A. It should be forbidden. B. It is not worth doing it.C. It is beneficial to the sea life. D. It should be handled properly.15. What is the main idea of the text A The life on the seafloor. B. Dark oxygen was found.C. The secret of photosynthesis. D. Polymetallic nodules matter.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights.

It is about our family’s grocery store. I worked hard making each picture as perfect as possible. Every time I messed up, I started all over again, so the floor under the kitchen table was covered with half-finished drawings.“It’s family chore time,” my mom announced. “You’ re on laundry duty,” she told me. Then she turned to Indi, my little sister, “And you, remember to move those papers from the floor to the recycling bin.” I zipped through the laundry as fast as possible. Just as I was about to get back to the picture book, my friend Mareya, who lived next door, invited me to take a walk outside. I like to chat with Mareya, who is a positive girl full of creative ideas. “Every cloud has a silver lining,” she always said when in trouble.We were walking and talking outside happily when it was going to rain. So we headed back home. As soon as we entered the yard, drops of rain poured down. Indi had just finished sweeping and put all the papers into a box in the yard. I caught sight of some papers. And that was when my heart pretty much stopped. Right there, in the box were my drawings for the picture book! Now they were getting wet in the rain!I picked up my once-perfect pictures from the box. They were ripped (撕破) and half-damaged with rainwater. “How did they get out here in the rain ” I called Indi and shouted.“Maybe it was me ” Indi said timidly, “I saw the cats jump up and knock some papers off the table. I may have mixed the good paintings with the waste paper and put them in this box since I couldn’t reach the lid (盖子) of the bin.” Hearing these words, I groaned, “I just went from having the best birthday present for Dad to having nothing.”注意:1.续写词数应150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。“We can do something to make up.” Mareya comforted me and put forward a solution._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________On my father’s birthday, I presented him with the imperfect gift._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力1-5 CABAC 6-10 ABCBB 11-15 ACACB 16-20 CCABA四川省2024-2025学年上学期12月学情检测高二英语试卷试卷共8页,67小题,满分150分。考试用时120分钟。注意事项:1.考查范围:选择性必修第一册~选择性必修第二册Unit 1。2.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。3.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。4.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后,请将答题卡交回。第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)做题时,先将答案标在试卷上,录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。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,并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

This event typically happens around December 21st or 22nd at Chinese lunar calendar. Known as “the shortest day of the year”, it marks the beginning of cold days in Chinese belief. As a result, Chinese prefer to celebrate the occasion by having food like dumplings and mutton soup, in the hope for a warm and prosperous winter. I sincerely invite you to celebrate the event with my family this year, when you can experience the customs in person.Looking forward to your coming.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)【47题答案】【答案】One possible version:“We can do something to make up.” Mareya comforted me and put forward a solution. She carefully took the pictures from my hand and asked my mom for a dryer. With the gentle wind, she dried off the pictures patiently. “Now, let’s add more paint to where it fades and stick those ripped parts with some stickers.” Mareya encouraged. Seeing that the pictures looked much better than I imagined, I found a glimpse of hope. My frustration gradually disappeared when we three worked together to save the rest of wet paintings.On my father’s birthday, I presented him with the imperfect gift. Worried that my gift was disliked, I told him about the whole story of how I had intended to draw perfect pictures for him, how the accident happened and how we restored the damaged pictures. “The gift is cool. I love it.” Dad said, “It is the imperfect that makes it special.” Dad happily accepted the picture book and kept it right next to the checkout counter in the store for everyone to see. This picture book also serves as a reminder to me that Mareya’s “every cloud has a silver lining” way of looking at things does help.听力1-5 CABAC 6-10 ABCBB 11-15 ACACB 16-20 CCABA 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
