So here are some favorite books for kids picked by readers and expert judges to while away the hours at home. The Snowy Dayby Ezra Jack KeatsOn
2、e morning, a little boy in Brooklyn wakes up to a changed world - shining with fresh snowfall. Young Peter is black.

7、s and Hidden Figures have in common?A. The way they are created. B. The authors experiences. C. The ages of the potential readers. D. The theme they try to convey. BEdward O. Wilson, known as “ant man”， was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he
8、 was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures. Wilson earned his bachelors and masters degrees from the University
9、of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement. Wilsons early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Hlldobler published their P
10、ulitzer- winning The Ants. It detailed the insects social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers. Another of Wilsons major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they
11、sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species. What many consider to be Wilsons most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes
12、 shaped human behavior. Wilson faced accusations for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979. Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These a
13、ccomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with, ” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilsons final advisees. 24. What contribute
14、d to Wilsons passion for ants?A. His accidental disability. B. The discovery he made about ants. C. The school education he received. D. His boyhood time spent in nature. 25. What is Wilsons first Pulitzer-winning book about?A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species.
15、C. The links between biology and human culture. D. The role of chemical signals in communication. 26. According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson?A. Productive. B. Humble. C. Open-minded. D. Independent. 27. What is the best title of this text?A. The Pioneering “Ant Man”B. Disc
16、overies in Evolutionary BiologyC. A Leading Figure in Popular ScienceD. The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize WinnerCIndian stepwells(阶梯井） are nothing new, having provided access to fresh water for years before they were abandoned. And while they are a part of Indian cultural heritage, they had lost the
17、ir purpose for some time, until now. As the extreme droughts are rocking India, these ancient stepwells are restored for what they do best - providing water. Shaped like an upside-down pyramid(金字塔）digging into the ground and lined by thousands of steps, stepwells can collect rainwater. They are wond
18、erfully efficient at providing water for nearly 1, 500 years. Sadly, over 3, 000 stepwells have either been abandoned or left to rot, with some even covered by garbage. Now, thanks to the restoration programme (also known as BAORIS), stepwells will come full circle. Since the restoration process beg
19、an, at least 15 wells have been restored in the city of Delhi. The cost will be around $60, 000, but by doing so, the water supply for the city could reach an additional 33, 000 gallons. Rajkumar Sharma, a local citizen, said, “I was elated at the reuse of the stepwells. The stepwell in our village
20、was the only source of water. With time, it had dried up and changed into a place for rubbish. We now have access to clean water for drinking and other purposes. ”Historian Rana Safvi explained, “Costly and painstaking as this program is, repairing these traditional stepwells to their former glory p
21、rovides water for many. But apart from that, it also spotlights the beautiful architecture features of ancient India. This helps attract tourists and can also be used in religious ceremonies. ” She added, “These stepwell restorations not only help India reduce the impact of drought, but they are a p
22、romise of a better future for India overall. ”28. Why are the stepwells in India restored?A. They have a new purpose. B. They are cultural heritage. C. They can ease water shortage. D. They are in poor conditions. 29. What does the underlined word “elated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Encouraged. B. Shock
23、ed. C. Impressed. D. Thrilled. 30. Whats Rana Safvis attitude to the program?A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Uncaring. 31. What does this text mainly talk about?A. Stepwells are brought back to life. B. Stepwells make India more attractive. C. Stepwells offer a new solution to drought. D.
24、 Stepwells provide convenience for Indians. DWith rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism, it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars, though its likely decades away. Technological challenges aside, as we continue to e
25、xpand our exploration of Mars, there is a question: What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about?Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries, but it has also led to the exploitation(开发） of resources. Not long after early European settlers arri
26、ved at America, they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions. However, this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty, happiness, and even survival. Native Americans were
27、 quickly killed bywars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land. The natural environment, with which they had established a harmonious relationship, was similarly destroyed by the settlement. Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life, but on Mars, humans will be the
28、 invasive(侵略的）species. Will our landing on mars break the ecosystem on Mars? It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development. But apart from technology challenges, will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth?The achieve
29、ments of space exploration are certainly to be applauded. The contributions of the related researches on chemistry, medicine and many others are potentially limitless. However, as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own, we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with
30、different life forms, cultures and environments. We may be capable of writing a law, but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless. 32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Modern American society. B. The crea
31、tion of constitution. C. The settlement of Europeans. D. The exploitation of resources. 33. Whats the authors concern about the exploration of Mars?A. Humans cannot survive on Mars. B. Humans may bring new diseases to Mars. C. The exploration may destroy Mars ecosystem. D. Technology challenges will
32、 make mining on Mars hard. 34. Whats the authors suggestion for future space exploring?A. Making relevant laws properly. B. Conducting more scientific researches. C. Predicting its impacts on other planets. D. Learning from past exploration experiences. 35. Which column is this text most probably ta
33、ken from?A. Opinion. B. History. C. Technology. D. Environment. 四川省成都市2021届高三二诊英语试卷第一节（共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30分）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的ABC和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项ATraining for SavingFirst Aid at Work 3 days 279Suitable for people aged 16+ who might need to provide first aid by responding to a wide range of accidents, injur

41、ependence, and Europeans value togetherness. I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph. D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common roo
42、m, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air. Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But
43、mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what youre going through. The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my work
44、days in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, Id keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldnt exactly copy the results of another
45、study. I didnt want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help. How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas dont just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. Its helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue
46、 to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life. Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that its important to create space for organic conversations about lab l
47、ife. A scientists life can feel isolating, but its not necessarily so when youre connected to a supportive community.4. How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?A.
