In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season. So a very unique farm in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticide-free(无农药的)vegetables in a hydroponic(水培的)farm all year long. There the plants are grown in water instead of soil.
Growing vegetables in the middle of nowhere, about 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, may seem like a big risk, but there is no other place for people to get locally grown food. Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away.
The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018. It was empty and if an alternative use wasn’t found, it would be pulled down. “We started looking for ideas, and we went and proposed doing this, ”Jan Nel said. “And they loved it. ”
After the proposal was accepted, the family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month.
The company has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local, according to June Nel. “It’s not two weeks old;it hasn’t travelled across the country or across the world, ”she said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have commented on our herbs. It actually still tastes fresh when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used. ”
She expects more producers to turn to hydroponics in the future but notes that the technology is limited to only some fruits and vegetables and doesn’t work for potatoes or grains. “It’s not the answer to the food security question or challenge, but it will play an increasingly larger role, ”she adds.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Vegetables are plentiful in Saskatchewan.
B. People in Saskatchewan can’t get fresh vegetables.
C. Hydroponic farms are very popular in Saskatchewan.
D. The climate in Saskatchewan is not good for farming.
5. What did the farm use to be
A. A supermarket. B. A school.
C. A garden. D. A factory.
6. What is the biggest advantage of the Nels’vegetables
A. They are cheap. B. They are fresh.
C. They are nutritive. D. They are delicious.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Way Helps Deal with Food Security
B. A Family Devote to Improving People’s Life
C. A Used School Turns into a Hydroponic Farm
D. An Innovative Practice Boosts the Future of Farming
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】

We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day Research suggests about 30—40 minutes per day of building up a sweat should do it.
Up to 40 minutes of“moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity” every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent.
That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.
While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants.
The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour.
Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.
8. How does the author start the text
A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By raising questions.
9. What did the research find
A. The longer you sit still, the earlier you will die.
B. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
C. Productivity can be improved through physical activities.
D. Proper intensive activities help reduce the risk of earlier death.
10. Why is the research reliable
A. It’s based on previous studies.
B. Its data is relatively objective.
C. It’s carried out in different countries.
D. Its data is from the participants’reports.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To analyze the risk of sitting still.
B. To recommend a healthy lifestyle.
C. To inspire people to do more exercise.
D. To show benefits of physical activities.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们应该需要多少锻炼来抵消我们久坐所造成的负面影响，从而鼓励人们多参加锻炼。
【8题详解】
推理判断题，根据第一段第一句“We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day ”（我们知道花很多时间坐着对我们没有好处，但我们知道需要多少运动才能应对整天坐着对健康的负面影响）可知，本文以设问的方式开篇。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.”（换句话说，进行一些强度合理的活动——骑自行车、快走、园艺——可以降低你过早死亡的风险。）可知，这个研究发现恰当的高强度活动有助于减少早亡的风险。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题，根据第四段中“the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants”（这项研究的好处是，它依赖于可穿戴设备的相对客观的数据，而不是参与者自我报告的数据）可知，这个调查可信是因为它的数据相对来说更客观。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题，根据文章最后一段“Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift，playing with children and pets，taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.”（研究人员表示，走楼梯而不是乘电梯、与儿童和宠物玩耍、参加瑜伽或舞蹈、做家务、散步和骑自行车都是人们更活跃的方式——如果你不能马上完成30-40分钟，那就从小处着手。）可知，本文的主要目的是通过介绍我们应该需要多少锻炼来抵消我们久坐所造成的负面影响来鼓励我们多参加锻炼。故选C项。
D
Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!
The North Pacific“Garbage Patch”is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck. However, it’s not just wastes that get caught up in this mess. Researchers from Georgetown University found that many sea creatures like jellyfish, snails, and barnacles also live there.
In 2018 and 2019, scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch, and found 46 different species of invertebrates(无脊椎动物)living on them. About 80％of those species normally live near the coast rather than in the middle of an ocean. The researchers also found that these species have been breeding on the patch—meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean.
Lead author Linsey Haram said that it’s not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem. But she said the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species, and they may also be eating each other.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres(环流). Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific, two are in the Atlantic Ocean, and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean.
A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan. Up to 20％of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year, the study said.
12. What makes the plastic waste get stuck in the garbage patch
A. Climate change. B. Human activities.
C Sea creatures living there. D. Huge circular ocean currents.
13. What does the underlined word“breeding”in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Reproducing. B. Restoring.
C. Revising. D. Refreshing.
14. Why does the author mention Japan in the last paragraph
A. To blame Japan for polluting the ocean.
B. To indicate one of the sources of the garbage.
C. To stress the responsibility of some countries.
D. To suggest clues that help with the plastic pollution.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Education. B. Economy.
C. Environment. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在塑料污染的影响下，海洋中形成了新的生态系统。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段首句“The North Pacific ‘Garbage Patch’ is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck.(北太平洋“垃圾带”是海洋中一个巨大的区域，大量塑料垃圾被困在这里。)”以及第五段首句“The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres.(大太平洋垃圾带是在被称为大洋环流的巨大环流中间形成的五个垃圾区之一。)”可知，塑料垃圾卡在垃圾堆里是由巨大的环形洋流造成的。故选D。
2. 词句猜测题。联系下文“there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean(现在海洋中央可能有一个永久的沿海物种群落。)”可知，此处指“这些物种在这里生息繁衍。”可知A选项Reproducing(繁殖)符合题意。故选A。
3. 推理判断题。阅读文章最后一段“A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan. Up to 20％of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year，the study said.(2018年对大太平洋垃圾带的一项研究发现，大约三分之一的垃圾可能与日本有关。研究称，自2011年以来，多达20%的垃圾是由当年袭击日本北部的巨大海啸造成的。)”可知，文章作者只是客观地描述了部分垃圾来源与发生在日本的海啸有关。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!(塑料污染已经成为全世界生活中的一个不幸事实，包括在海洋中。虽然所有漂浮在周围的垃圾都会对许多动物构成严重威胁，但一项新的研究发现，一些物种实际上可能已经将其变成了一个全新的生态系统！)”并且阅读全文可知，文章主要介绍了在塑料污染的影响下，海洋中形成了新的生态系统。因此本文应该来自一份报纸的环境板块。故选C。

Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience ___16___
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___17___Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___18___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___19___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
___20___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction ”
A. So, how is the film music created
B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film.
E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡农历新年期间的一个传统——捞鱼生。
【36题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：其中一些是著名的，但新加坡有一种特殊的方式，你可能不知道。此处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词way，关系词在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：每年，全国各地的厨师都会准备用生鱼做成的沙拉“鱼生”。分析语境可知，此处结构为use sth.to do sth.。意指“吃饭的人会聚在一起用筷子来把沙拉向上扔到空中”，因此用throw的不定式形式。故填to throw。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：这种做法被称为Lo Hei。be known as为固定搭配，意为“被称为……”符合句意。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：自20世纪30年代作为一道简单的生鱼片起源以来，这道菜的食谱经历了一系列的转变，直到今天，人们仍在寻找创新的方式来呈现这道菜，分析语境可知，此处单词表示数量“一”的含义，泛指任何一道源于20世纪30年代的简单的生鱼菜，因此用不定冠词，simple词首音素是辅音音素，因此不定冠词用a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：这道菜是19世纪末由中国移民带到新加坡的。根据所给单词可知，本句指“这种菜在19世纪晚期被来自中国的移民带到了新加坡”，本句主语dish和bring之间是被动关系，因此用被动语态，再根据时间状语“in the later 19th century”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的动作，因此be动词用过去式was。故填was brought。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：“Lo Hei”在广东话中的字面意思是“抛起好运”，它指的是新加坡的一种仪式，一群人围在一个巨大的盘子周围，猛烈地扔盘子里的东西，同时在吃之前说出吉利的短语。此处作状语，修饰动词translate，因此用literal的对应副词literally。故填literally。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：“Lo Hei”在广东话中的字面意思是“抛起好运”，它指的是新加坡的一种仪式，一群人围在一个巨大的盘子周围，猛烈地扔盘子里的东西，同时在吃之前说出吉利的短语。分析语境可知，此处作定语，意指“一个大盘子”，因此用mass的对应形容词massive。故填massive。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：“Lo Hei”在广东话中的字面意思是“抛起好运”，它指的是新加坡的一种仪式，一群人围在一个巨大的盘子周围，猛烈地扔盘子里的东西，同时在吃之前说出吉利的短语。此处指人们说出的多个吉利的短语，因此phrase用复数形式。故填phrases。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致，句意：例如，当加上金色的饼干时，每个人都会说“扁地黄金”。这意味着“整个地板都将被黄金覆盖”。这个短语的意思是“整个地板都会被黄金覆盖”，本句描述的是客观事实，因此用一般现在时，this相当于单数第三人称，因此谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填means。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。句意：因此，人们普遍认为，掷硬币越高，你在未来一年的前景和财富就越好。联系上文“the higher the toss”可知，此处为固定句式“the more... the more...”，因此用good的比较级，意指“抛得越高，你来年的运势就会越好。” 故填better。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our science teacher always enjoys giving out challenging assignments to our Grade 10 science class. Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands-on, do-it-yourself approach.
“Today, ”said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition was quite straightforward：every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win!
As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体).
The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of the competition came very fast.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The day of the competition came very fast. We all brought our masterpieces into the classroom. Every team had a different design-from boxes made of different materials to boxes that operated in different ways. One fellow even attached a motor to his icebox and turned it into a refrigerator. Before we left school, Mr. Hussey gave each group an ice tube of the same size. We put them in the iceboxes that were placed side by side on the table. Then we left for home, hoping that we would win.
The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art. We all hoped that there would still be some ice left. Some kids searched and searched, and were even about to tear their iceboxes apart, but couldn’t find anything. Luckily, it turned out that we didn’t do too badly. Having almost 60 percent of the ice cube still remaining, we had an above-average result! The winner of the competition, however, was the guy who made a motorized refrigerator. When we opened his icebox, he had a piece of ice that was 140 percent the size of the original! His innovative design was definitely a cut above the rest.

In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season. So a very unique farm in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticide-free(无农药的)vegetables in a hydroponic(水培的)farm all year long. There the plants are grown in water instead of soil.
Growing vegetables in the middle of nowhere, about 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, may seem like a big risk, but there is no other place for people to get locally grown food. Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away.
The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018. It was empty and if an alternative use wasn’t found, it would be pulled down. “We started looking for ideas, and we went and proposed doing this, ”Jan Nel said. “And they loved it. ”
After the proposal was accepted, the family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month.
The company has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local, according to June Nel. “It’s not two weeks old;it hasn’t travelled across the country or across the world, ”she said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have commented on our herbs. It actually still tastes fresh when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used. ”
She expects more producers to turn to hydroponics in the future but notes that the technology is limited to only some fruits and vegetables and doesn’t work for potatoes or grains. “It’s not the answer to the food security question or challenge, but it will play an increasingly larger role, ”she adds.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Vegetables are plentiful in Saskatchewan.
B. People in Saskatchewan can’t get fresh vegetables.
C. Hydroponic farms are very popular in Saskatchewan.
D. The climate in Saskatchewan is not good for farming.
5. What did the farm use to be
A. A supermarket. B. A school.
C. A garden. D. A factory.
6. What is the biggest advantage of the Nels’vegetables
A. They are cheap. B. They are fresh.
C. They are nutritive. D. They are delicious.
7 What is the best title for the text
A. A New Way Helps Deal with Food Security
B. A Family Devote to Improving People’s Life
C. A Used School Turns into a Hydroponic Farm
D. An Innovative Practice Boosts the Future of Farming
C
We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day Research suggests about 30—40 minutes per day of building up a sweat should do it.
Up to 40 minutes of“moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity” every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent.
That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.
While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants.
The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour.
Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.
8. How does the author start the text
A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving examples. D. By raising questions.
9. What did the research find
A. The longer you sit still, the earlier you will die.
B. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
C. Productivity can be improved through physical activities.
D. Proper intensive activities help reduce the risk of earlier death.
10. Why is the research reliable
A. It’s based on previous studies.
B. Its data is relatively objective.
C. It’s carried out in different countries.
D Its data is from the participants’reports.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To analyze the risk of sitting still.
B. To recommend a healthy lifestyle.
C. To inspire people to do more exercise.
D. To show benefits of physical activities.
D
Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!
The North Pacific“Garbage Patch”is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck. However, it’s not just wastes that get caught up in this mess. Researchers from Georgetown University found that many sea creatures like jellyfish, snails, and barnacles also live there.
In 2018 and 2019, scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch, and found 46 different species of invertebrates(无脊椎动物)living on them. About 80％of those species normally live near the coast rather than in the middle of an ocean. The researchers also found that these species have been breeding on the patch—meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean.
Lead author Linsey Haram said that it’s not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem. But she said the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species, and they may also be eating each other.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres(环流). Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific, two are in the Atlantic Ocean, and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean.
A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan. Up to 20％of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year, the study said.
12. What makes the plastic waste get stuck in the garbage patch
A. Climate change. B. Human activities.
C. Sea creatures living there. D. Huge circular ocean currents.
13. What does the underlined word“breeding”in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Reproducing. B. Restoring.
C. Revising. D. Refreshing.
14. Why does the author mention Japan in the last paragraph
A. To blame Japan for polluting the ocean.

Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience ___16___
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___17___Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___18___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___19___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
___20___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction ”
A. So, how is the film music created
B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film.
E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our science teacher always enjoys giving out challenging assignments to our Grade 10 science class. Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands-on, do-it-yourself approach.
“Today, ”said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition was quite straightforward：every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win!
As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体).
The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
