Let's have a look at some regional products that have helped to revive (振兴) the rural economy. Maybe here is one project that appeals to you.Woodblock printingWith a history of more than 1, 000 years, woodblock printing was adopted by ancient Chinese as a way to keep written records. Sibao town in Fujian province is famous for the preservation of traditional Chinese woodblock printing. The town now has 50 ancient bookshops and many cultural relics. It also invited tourists and students to learn from artisans. Bark paintingsBark paintings, a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is made from bark chippings scaling off white birch trees. The painting has helped many villagers overcome poverty in White Wolf town, as the town is rich in forest resources and making such paintings is environmentally friendly and also beneficial by providing employment for some locals. Handicraft weaving and tie - dyeingExperiencing traditional handicraft dyeing and weaving techniques is a special cultural and creative endeavor in Pingtian village of Sidu town in Lishui, East China's Zhejiang province. It is also an effort to protect and carry forward traditional handicraft intangible cultural heritage. All the dyes used are produced from plants and tea leaves in the mountains around the village. Oilpaper umbrellaOilpaper umbrella is a kind of traditional Chinese handicraft made of bamboo and paper coated in the oil of the tung nut for waterproofing. It has been around for at least 1, 000 years and was eventually adopted in other parts of the planet.

BClassical musician Titcomb feels strongly about Symphony No. 2 and its composer, Mahler. “Mahler is just... It's so remindful. It's so emotional and maybe it is a cheap thrill, but to me it is a deep emotional work.”Titcomb played the trombone (长号) professionally for more than thirty years. He says it was a difficult decision to stop playing and to do something else. “When I had to decide to stop my career as a player and move on to just the organizing of an orchestra, it was my heart and soul to play in orchestras and after a 30 - year career I think I have done my part and wanted to move aside. Now I'm semi - retired. I only play the trombone in my wife's rock and roll band, but for 30 years I was a member of the New York City Opera Orchestra and I also played very often with the Metropolitan Opera and various other organizations and the New York City Ballet as well.”Now Titcomb is the Managing Director for PONY, which hopes to bring new audiences to classical music and aims to make performances higher - tech and more affordable. PONY is composed of many New York's finest musicians and many of them continue to work in the major companies at Lincoln Center including Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic. And musicians come together shortly after some big events, such as natural disasters. Mahler Symphony No. 2 music is reflective of a project dear to Titcomb's heart. Titcomb has worked effortlessly on bringing the Philharmonia Orchestra of New York, which aims to use performances to support disaster relief, and to give people in disaster some inspiration to continue to deal with their troubles. Seeing an orchestra of 90 players on the stage and making music together with a chorus of 200 made him smile. Titcomb's devotion to music is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain hard work and determination. 24. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1?A. Titcomb is very emotional.  B. Mahler is good at cheap thrills. C. A music masterpiece must be strong.  D. Symphony No. 2 impresses Titcomb. 25. What can we learn about Titcomb in the first half of his career?A. He was eager to earn money.  B. He avoided taking up challenges. C. He focused on playing the trombone.  D. He organized a high - quality orchestra. 26. Which of the following best describes Titcomb's work at PONY?A. Boring.  B. Confusing.  C. Demanding.  D. Encouraging. 27. What does Titcomb's career story tell us?A. Well begun, half done.   B. Devotion requires enthusiasm. C. He who laughs last laughs best.  D. A change of work is as good as a rest. CA big city might not seem like the best place to learn about nature and the environment. But one group in Washington, D. C. is trying to change that. City Blossoms is a non - profit organization, with the aim to bring nature to children who might not otherwise have green spaces. The organization has assisted in creating green spaces at seven elementary schools. City Blossoms assists schools in creating and caring for the garden. But the gardens are mainly operated by the schools. McNerney partners with schools that already understand the importance of an outdoor education. “It's a school - run program that City Blossoms is supporting,” McNerney said. “We don't want it to be a ‘plop and drop’ where it's seen as a City Blossoms garden and it's not fully embraced by the community, because that won't really lead to a sustainable garden program.” “At the end of the day, we're not designing these sites,” said Isa Zambrano, who oversees the community gardens for City Blossoms. She helps maintain the community spaces for City Blossoms. “The community designs it. Every garden takes the shape of the community and the culture that exists there. Young children and older adults have gotten involved with the community green spaces,” said Isa. During cooking lessons, for example, people will talk about meals that are special to their culture. While City Blossoms' main goal is to teach children, many older families and adults have also gotten involved. The organization holds gardening lessons for all ages. Isa said the pandemic had made people want to spend more time outside experiencing nature. “People have really woken up to the fact that green spaces are really important in our communities,” she added. “They have realized the good that comes from being outdoors and being disconnected from technology,” she explained. 28. What is the original goal of City Blossoms?A. To develop students' planting skills.  B. To call for protecting the environment. C. To allow students to experience nature.  D. To change teenagers' academic performance. 29. What does the underlined phrase “a ‘plop and drop’” refer to in paragraph 2?A. An improper course.   B. A school - run garden. C. An unsustainable garden.   D. A community program. 30. What do we know about a community green space in paragraph 3?A. It helps students only.   B. It is run with joint efforts.  C. It is designed by City Blossoms.  D. It creates a new culture. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Exploring city gardens  B. Establishing City Blossoms C. Developing gardening lessons D. Bettering communities via city gardensDAnts have the ability to sniff out cancer cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca (丝光褐林蚁) has a well - developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed. But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancer cells. As such, the scientists found that ants distinguished between cancer and healthy cells. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect organic compounds (混合物) released by cancer cells. “This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient,” points out CNRS. This isn't the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancer cells. “Dogs' noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the specific detection of cancer,” the researchers explained. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. “On the other hand, insects can be easily raised in controlled conditions, and hundreds of individuals can be trained with very few trials,” the researchers pointed out. “Our approach could potentially be applied to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.” 32. What can we learn about Formica fusca?A. It has a sharp sense of smell.  B. It can diagnose ants' illnesses. C. It faces a challenge of surviving.  D. It has been used in clinical settings. 33. What did scientists take into consideration when conducting their research?A. The number of ant species.  B. The different smells of cells. C. The association between cells.  D. The time exposed to cancerous samples. 34. In what aspect do ants have an advantage over dogs to detect cancer cells?A. Diagnosis accuracy.  B. Low cost.  C. Scientific interests.  D. Smelling ability. 35. What is the author's purpose in writing the article?A. To appeal to people to protect ants.  B. To argue if ants are sensitive to cancer cells. C. To introduce the ants' ability of curing cancers.  D. To inform the ants' special skill to distinguish cells. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Control Weeds When PlantingNo matter what you choose to grow in the garden, at some point, you will have to deal with unwanted plants, known as weeds.   36   Even a tomato plant can become a weed if it grows where you don't want it to.    37   Weeds can bring many problems. They steal nutrients and water. Weeds can also bring harmful bugs and diseases into your garden. Some weeds release chemicals that can slow the growth of nearby plants. It is important to note that some weeds are not all bad. In fact, you can eat them. Dandelions (蒲公英) are also viewed as a weed by many people.   38   And you can eat or use nearly every part of the plant. But even other weeds can do good things in our garden. The roots of weeds can prevent the soil from being blown away by wind or washed away by rain. However, left to grow on their own, weeds can take over a garden. To slow the growth of weeds, add a layer of weed - free, organic material to the top of your garden, around the plants.   39   A simple and effective method of weed control is to break up the surface layer of the soil. But you must do this regularly. Do not turn the soil over.   40   If you turn the soil over, you give those seeds the light and air they need to grow. Probably the best way to fight some weeds is to eat them! Just make sure they are, in fact, eatable. A. But their leaves are also full of nutrients. B. This makes it difficult to reshape a garden. C. A weed is just a plant growing in the wrong place. D. This improves the soil and keeps weeds from growing. E. Besides being unwanted, what else do weeds do to a garden?F. Buried in the soil are weed seeds, waiting for the right conditions. G. So, before we hurry outside to kill all the weeds, consider their good side. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。After the long, boring winter, kites everywhere couldn't wait for the chance to go dance in the air and to run after the sun.

I believe in all the elements from which love is made. And I believe in their combined power. Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage (孤儿院) dropped him off and turned to leave. “What are his favorite things?” I yelled. “Noodles,” they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified. Luke kicked and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick. That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, “What is it?” I said, “The moon. It's the moon.” He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas. Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to. “What should I do?” I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。“Who is she?” Luke asked.  Now, every little change Luke made has produced a combined power.   高二英语试题参考答案第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）1—5 ACABC 6—10 BCBCA 11—15 BCACA 16—20 BBABA第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2. 5分，满分50分）21—23 ADA 24—27 DCDB 28—31 CCBD 32—35 ABBD36—40 CEADF第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）41—45 CBACD 46—50 BDCDA 51—55 ACBBD第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分）56. which         57.

Just want to say thanks to Mark Wright for taking over the show yesterday while I was at the dentist's. He did a great job and I noticed he got a haircut as well just for the occasion! So, if you've had a look out of your window, you'll see it's pretty much the same as yesterday, dry but dark, with highs of 22 degrees. Because of that cloud cover, the temperature isn't going to drop that much at night, with lows of 16 degrees, which is practically summer here in central Scotland. Not to be serious, but I definitely would not be leaving the house tomorrow without an umbrella, as those gathering clouds are going to bring the rain. How likely is it to rain? The chance is 80%, which is pretty much definite. Looking north, it's going to be cold weather as storms are coming in the mountains. It can get a bit scary if you are driving, so you might wish to delay any journeys you re planning to make. OK, that's all for today's weather report. Next, let's welcome George Bennett to give us the local news.
