Scientists are studying the design and the biological processes of these organisms to get ideas for products and technologies. This field of study is called biomimetics. Here are two examples.Toucan Bills(巨嘴鸟的嘴) and Car SafetyToucan usually has enormous bills. Scientists have found that the toucan's beak is designed to be both strong and light. The surface is made of keratin, the same material in human fingernails and hair. But the inside of the bill has a foam-like structure and is made up of a network of light, thin pieces of bone. It contains a lot of air, and some areas are hollow, not solid. This design makes the bill hard but very light. The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer. Studies show that the beak's structure can absorb high energy impacts very well. Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.Shark Scales and SwimsuitsShark skin may look smooth, but it's actually rough. Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth.Viewed up close, the scales actually look like tiny teeth. These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean. They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water. This movement reduces the waters drag on the shark and helps it to swim quickly.Scientists discovered that the shortfin mako's scales(鱼鳞) vary in size and flexibility over its body. For instance the scales on the sides of the body are tapered — wide at one end and narrow at the other. They can turn up or flatten to adjust to the flow of water around the shark and to reduce drag.Scientists believe that shark scales can inspire designs for machines that experience drag,such as airplanes. Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms.21. Why do car body panels copy the design of toucan bill?A. To better protect passers-by. B. To reduce the injury to drivers.C. To decrease the chances of crashes.D. To make cars lighter and easier to control. 22. What product or technology is inspired by shark scales?A. Coating for ship bottoms to run faster. B. Coating for airplanes to experience drag.C. The panel that makes the plane safer.D. Swimwear that is smooth to keep itself clean.23. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To present two innovative products. B. To introduce biomimetics by example.C. To show the unique adaptations of animals.D. To discuss the link between humans and animals.BThe sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn't be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, I'd read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She'd respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn.After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids.Over the past year, though, I've started to let go of some of this worry. I've realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it's also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose.24. How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program?A. It was fruitful but exhausting. B. It was the last thing she would do.C. It was hopeful but challenging. D. It was promising for the whole family.25. Which can best replace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3?A. Boost. B. Change. C. Create. D. Choose.26. What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4?A. People are afraid of having cancer. B. Cancer is health enemy No.1.C. Her mother takes her job seriously. D. Anne is proud of her mother. 27. What might be the best title of the text? A. Onwards and Upwards B. Double Gains of Mum’s PursuitC. Like Mother Like Daughter D. Generation Gap Narrowed by LoveCThere are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling Foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial (有争议的) speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.28．What is the main topic of the article?A．The case against TED. B．What’s on TED today.C．Pros and cons of www.ted.com. D．What is TED．29．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.com.B．Two TED conferences are now held every year.C．TED talks are available in many languages.D．The Sapling Foundation owns www.ted.com.30．From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A．it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB．the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC．TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD．the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation31．This author probably believes that________.A．TED is elitist B．TED is beneficialC．TED isn’t important D．TED is the best websiteDOn a Sunday afternoon, the sun was burning in eastern Singapore, and a group of young Singaporeans were busy laying out scissors, electric razors, brushes, mirrors, aprons and chairs.They were here to volunteer with the community initiative Backalley Barbers(BAB), which has been snipping away at social barriers since 2014 by offering free haircuts to the discriminated and the poor. Among them is Cai Yinzhou, the young man who heads BAB. He was inspired to take barbering matters into his own hands after befriending a group of migrant workers. “I was playing badminton with a group of workers who lived behind my house. And one of the workers, whose father had a health issue, was working very hard... to try to save money to send back home,” Yinzhou recounts. “Why not learn how to cut my own hair and offer him a free haircut? It was a very small thing that I could do for him. That was how BAB started.” Till now, volunteers have styled more than 2,200 heads, picking up their skills from professionals. “Our volunteers come from various kinds of background,” says Yinzhou. “The common heart is people who are willing to serve. With collective people working towards a common goal, we can change communities. That’s a great starting point.” Beyond the free haircuts, conversations form the root of BAB’s mission. “We learn about the sacrifices migrant workers have made, the challenges they have at work. And some of them with issues, for example, injuries, or salary claim problems, we refer them to the relevant authorities for help. But the baseline is really making friends with them first,” Yinzhou said. Yinzhou believes these friendships are invaluable, as they foster cultural understanding.“People come together although we are different, realising that we have the potential to help one another.” Yinzhou says.32. How does the author start the passage?A. By stressing the significance of BAB’s work.B. By referring to social problems in Singapore.C. By describing the scene of BAB’s voluntary work.D. By praising young Singaporeans for their kindness.33. What can we know about BAB in Paragraph 2?A. Its birth. B. Its founder. C. Its goal. D. Its service. 34. What does “a great starting point” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Taking to professional hairdressing.B. Volunteering for a better community.C. Befriending people with different backgrounds.D. Becoming a worldwide non-profit organization.35. What’s the core factor to push BAB forwards according to Yinzhou?A. Offering free haircuts. B. Solving social problems.C. Holding conversations. D. Forming true friendships. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分）It’s in Your HandsFeeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips to the local park. 36 Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds’ feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open.“Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline, “37 ” Over the last 20 years UK charity Swan Lifeline has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds. Adult swans can develop heart disease by eating much bread, so it’s important that we do our best to prevent this by feeding them the right kind of food.38 Rotten bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to breed, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs.39 Definitely not. Wild Things Swan & Duck Food has launched the “Better than Bread” Campaign to highlight the risk of a calorific diet to water birds. The campaign advises that there are much healthier alternatives to bread, such as specially developed feeds. They can float on the water surface, so birds can enjoy every last bit.40 A. So we must stop feeding the ducks.B But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?C Does this mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks?D. Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem.E. What a scene it is to watch ducks eating bread floating on the river!F. Otherwise the consequences can be serious — such as the loss of the wing.G. Next time take a healthier alternative and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分）第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）Hunter Leininger, from Georgia, USA has been adventure racing(探险速度赛) since he was seven years old.

In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mud. It was not a place for swimming.In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum(起泡的浮渣). Sometimes a strong, unpleasant smell rose from it. We stayed away. When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it, Harry said to me, “Try walking across.”The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. “Go ahead.” Harry urged. “Try it. You’re lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. It’ll be fun.” I wanted to please Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide across the pond.In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack! I stretched out my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures. I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was wearing a coat of heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.I looked at Harry on shore. He seemed rooted to the spot. “I can’t get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.Paragraph 1: Harry turned and ran from the pond.   ___________________Paragraph 2:The moment I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, mum rushed over._____2019级高二下学期三月份月考英语试题答案1-20C CBABC ABCAC CABCA BACAB21-40 BAB CADB DACB CABD BFDCG 41-55 DABAD CBADB DAACC 语法填空： 56. it 57. actively 58.

From now on, I want to try my best to ease myself of my pains and get more gains.Thank you for listening!读后续写：Para. 1 He turned and ran from the pond. Staring at him out of sight, I wondered: “Is he running for help, or is he running away and leaving me alone?” Frightened and scared, I was anxious to climb out by myself, but failed again and again. After what seemed to be centuries, I feel despaired. Just at that moment, Harry dashed with a large branch. Crawling on his stomach, he pushed the branch toward me. The moment the branch was within reach, I grabbed it immediately and was eventually dragged out by Harry. Trembling, we headed home, with my clothes dripping water.Para. 2: I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, mum rushed over. Taking off my clothes, she gave me a quick bath and then wrapped a thick blanket over me; meanwhile she gave me a cup of milk to warm me up. Feeling comforted and relieved, we tearfully murmured an apology to mum, but the pond was still a temptation to young Harry and me, especially when winter came again.
