吉林省松原市宁江区实验高级中学2021届高三英语下学期二轮复习试题
一、 Tricia Hurt, her husband Brian, and their son Brady were out enjoying a fishing adventure on Marsh-Miller Lake in Wisconsin when they found a baby bear in huge suffering. According to the locals in the area, the little bear had been running on land with a plastic tub on his head for three to four days, but he somehow got into the water, worsening his condition.
The bear could be seen swimming in fear and shifting away from the family as they edged the boat closer. He was terrified, but the tub was quickly filled with water and he was in danger of drowning.
"Go a little faster, Brady. Get in front of him," Tricia instructed her son to drive the boat closer to the animal. Brian got close to the bear and tried to pull the tub out, but it had become too slippery. Brian lost his control, but he wasn't discouraged because the bear's ears had managed to come loose. That meant the plastic tub wasn't stuck and he just had to get closer.
The rescue lasted about five minutes and they made several attempts before the tub finally came off. Brady made the boat circle around the bear and his father gave one last try that set the animal free. Once the tub came off, the bear was able to swim easily to the shore and catch a much-needed break.
The family was extremely relieved as Tricia called out to the swimming animal, "Swim happily.''
"We were so excited! We did our good deed for the day. It felt good to help the poor bear. You don't like to see animals struggle." Tricia later said in an interview.
When the Hurts returned to their resort, everyone offered their gratitude. Tracy, a native, said, "No one else had been able to help the bear for several days as it struggled with the deadly tub on its head. We need more people like the Hurts!"
1. What happened to the bear?
A. He was drowned in the lake. B. He was hurt by hunters.
C. He got a tub on his head. D. He got trapped by the locals.
2. Who pulled out the tub?
A. Tracy. B. Tricia. C. Brady. D. Brian.
3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

二、
The final bell rings at a high school in downtown Los Angeles. Nearly every student walking out of the school gate studies a screen, with their head bowed down. Over the past decade, such scenes have become quite common — at least in the United Sates. Research indicates that American millennials (千禧一代的人) look at their phones 150 times a day on average.
In the meantime, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. Some people blame the increase on the Great Recession (经济大衰退) following 2008 and other social changes. However, a big new study suggests a different explanation --- the rise of social media. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, led the study.
With data collected from more than 50,000 American teenagers, she found that those who spent lots of time on social media were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems hopeless.” Those who used screens less, spending time playing sports or socializing with friends in person, were less likely to report feelings of depression.
This, in fact, is not the first time that scientists have found that social media can rob people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a randomly selected group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week than those who continued using it.
Some research, however, suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if used to engage directly with other users, rather than just to feel jealous(妒忌的) of happy moments someone shares online. This provides a reminder that it is users’ attitudes that shape their experiences on social media.“I often remind myself that it's all filtered(过滤)," reflects Sarah, a junior at the high school in Los Angeles. “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is superior to yours.” But when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social media accounts, Sarah looks confused.“No. I would feel lost."
1.What is the topic of the passage?
A.Feelings of depression. BThe rise of social media.
C.Addiction to recreation. D.The use of smart phones.
2.What can we learn from the two studies in paragraph 3 and 4?
A.Sports and socialization are supposed to be encouraged.
B.Most American teenagers have sunk into hopelessness.
C.Social media have negative effects on people's feelings.
D.People are not in a position to live without social media.
3.According to Sarah, what is the right attitude to others' happy moments shared online?
A.Jealous. B.Critical. C.Concerned. D.Tolerant.

Plants: we eat them, juice them—and now it seems we can mine them too
After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo, the botany professor Alan Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining (harvesting minerals from plants) as a better, partial substitute for traditional mining.
Phytomining, also known as agromining, means collecting metals from live plants. However, this can only be done with a group of plants known as "hyperaccumulators". There are around 700 identified types worldwide, and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they naturally attract and absorb minerals through their roots—metals poisonous to other plants—and then store huge, pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies. The metals can then be extracted from the plants' sap(汁;液), oil, or sometimes even live tissue.
Baker and his colleagues see a lot of potential in phytomining. Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals, but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining.
One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area. Phytomining can extract metal waste, plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations. Aside from this, if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining, then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines, which pollute the nearby waters. Also, since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure, there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore(矿石).
Phytomining has its drawbacks. Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today, compared to traditional mining. Besides, plants can be wiped out by diseases or unexpected weather conditions.
However, there are many reasons to consider phytomining. After all, we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesn't mean sacrificing Mother Earth.
1. What makes hyperaccumulators different from other plants?
A. The sap poisonous to other plants.
B. The ability to take in and store minerals.
C. The oil extracted from live plant tissue.
D. The concentrations of minerals in their bodies.
2. What is the advantage of phytomining?
A. It can stop deforestation.
B. It may reduce the desertedmines.
C. It uses clean energy to purify the ore.
D. It can't be destroyed by diseases.
3. What is the author's attitude toward phytomining?
A. Pessimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Metals From Plants
B. The Future of Phytomining
C. What Are Hyperaccumulators?
D. Benefits of Phytomining
