Science.BIan Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field. the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home. the partnership led to something quite different.Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes. in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.24. What did Happ ask Vale to do?A. Join the baseball team.B. Find a different baseball field.C. Create three pictures of his home.D. Draw according to his own perspectives.25. What is the main purpose of Through My Eyes?A. To hold an exhibition.B. To do charity.C. To attract baseball fans.D. To promote the printing trade.26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. What Vale explained to Happ.B. How Vale corrected Happ’s mistakes.C. What Happ and Vale felt about the field.D. How Happ introduced Vale about Wrigley field.27. Which word can best describe Vale?A. Humble.B. Humorous.C. Casual.D. Conventional.COrigami (折纸工艺) is now pushing the limits of what scientists think is possible, particularly at the tiniest of scales.I know Miskin, an electrical engineer at University of Pennsylvania. He and his students have been using a clean room to make an army of robots no bigger than dust. Such tiny robots require big creativity. That’s where origami comes in. Fold patterns will bend and move the same way at any size. at least theoretically. Created by using the same techniques as the computer chip industry, Miskin’s robots look like pieces of fat with arms and legs. When the robots are exposed to electricity, their arms and legs bend easily, helping them walk through a drop on a glass slide.Miskin sees a world of possible ways these tiny robots can be used, from industry, tourism, service to other fields. Indeed, the art form, origami, holds particular promise for many fields. For example, Rus, an AI engineer developed a robot that can fold to fit into a pill capsule. After the capsule is swallowed, the robot unfolds and can be directed around the digestive system using programmable magnetic fields. An initial test demonstrated one possible use: removing the swallowed button batteries from the stomach, a potentially deadly condition experienced by thousands of children each year. “Just imagine using it to repair a wound,” Rus says. “We’ll see a future of surgeries with no pain and no risk of infection.”These types of big dreams are where origami seems to help science flourish most. Origami has provided d new tool to fire the imagination and create technologies once thought impossible, including a boat that folds down to be small enough to fit in a car’s trunk.On a bright fall afternoon, I took my boat for a spin on Virginia’s Lake Accotink. The plastic suitcase drew curious looks from passers-by as I unfolded it. Perhaps one day, folding forms will be considered prosaic. But for now, origami will continue to spark wonder and excitement as it pushes science, medicine and technology into the future and keeps me afloat as I leave the lakeshore.28. What are Miskin’s robots like?A. Flexible.B. Transparent.C. Awkward.D. Fragile.29. Which field is Rus’s robot used in?A. Art.B. Industry.C. Medicine.D. Tourism.30. What does the underlined word “prosaic” in the last paragraph mean?A. Fancy.B. Thrilling.C. Strange.D. Ordinary.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Robots: Taking on Varieties of Art FormsB. Origami: Being Applied in the Field of ArtC. Origami: Revolutionizing Science and TechnologyD. Robots: Being Powered by Electricity and BatteriesDFor some ant queens, the secret to long life might be a self-produced insulin (胰岛素) blocker. Ant queens are famously long-lived even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.Now, researchers have shown how one ant species pulls off this anti-aging great work. When queens of the species, Harpegnathos saltator (跳跃蚁), are prepared to reproduce, a part of what is called the insulin signaling pathway gets blocked, slowing aging. In a rare behavior for ants, when a queen H. saltator dies, some female workers begin competing in fights for the chance to replace her. These hopeful royals start laying eggs and then change into queen-like forms called gamergates (雌工虫). When a worker changes to a gamergate, her life length becomes five times as long as it was. But if she doesn’t end up becoming a queen and goes back to a worker, her lifetime shortens again.The researchers researched this behavior in these ants. It turns out that H. saltator gamergates extend their lifetime by taking advantage of a split in the insulin signaling pathway, the chain of chemical reactions that drive insulin’s effects on the body. One branch of this pathway is involved with reproduction, while the other is linked to aging.Examining patterns of gene activity, expert Yan and his colleagues found that gamergates have more active insulin genes than regular worker ants and, as a result, have increased metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity and physical development. But the secret sauce protecting the ants from the insulin’s aging effects appears to be what is called Imp-L2, which blocks the branch of the insulin pathway linked to aging. The branch involved in reproduction, however, remains active.These results represent a leap forward in our understanding of extreme social insect lifetime, while also showing an anti-aging evolutionary adaptation that hasn’t been seen in the wild before.32. How docs the author begin the text?A. By listing data.B. By quoting a saying.C. By asking a question.D. By describing a phenomenon.33. What can we learn about gamergates from paragraph 2?A. They live longer than before.B. They rarely fight with each other.C. They are resistant to become queens.D. They are five times shorter than worker ants.34. What do we know about Imp-L2?A. It may prevent ants from aging.B. It may reduce ants’ metabolic activity.C. It may regulate ants’ physical development.D. It may protect ants’ reproductive capability.35. What does the author think of the research results?A. Complicated.B. Controversial.C. Instructive.D. Invalid.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Music can relax the mind, energize the body, and even help people better manage pain. 36 .

I’d like to welcome you aboard our train trip through high desert scenery. Our trip today lasts one and a half hours and the train climbs uphill for the first forty-five minutes and then makes its way down to a town called Oldsville. In the twentieth century, oil was discovered here and an important industry developed. It didn’t last long, however, and tourism is the biggest industry these days. There’s a lot to see in the town. On the journey you won’t see any animals during the daytime because it’s too hot, but you should look out for beautiful desert plants right next to the track, although at this height there are no trees. At one point, we go over an old wooden bridge. People get worried because it’s noisy, but it’s quite safe. There’s no river under the bridge, but you can see some large colorful rocks-they’re fantastic. We don’t make any stops on the trip because all the stations were closed long ago. At the far end of our train there’s a small store selling souvenirs that you can’t buy anywhere else. The other things which we sell during your ride are drinks. Unfortunately, the machine selling these is broken, so once we’re underway I’ll be walking down the train with everything in a basket. So stop me if you want anything.第二节到此结束。现在，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。试题答案15 ABBAC 610 BAACC 1115 ACBCB 1620 CBBAA2123 CBB 2427 DBDA 2831 ACDC 3235 DAAC 3640 CBDGF4145 CBAAD 4650 CBADB 5155 ACBDC 5660 ADBDC61. featuring 62. to appreciate 63. what 64. largely 65. branches66. artistic 67. brought 68. of 69. exported 70. a短文改错As a little child, I liked to stay at my grandparents’ home during the summer holiday.
