201598. (2025•长安区•二模)     Almost all humans acquire at least one language before the age of five.How do young children understand and produce complex sentences with complicated meanings?Do adults learn language differently from children?Most linguistic(语言学的) researchers agree that both nature and nurture(后天) are involved in language acquisition They disagree,however,about how much linguistic knowledge children have from birth-and thus whether genetics or experience is more important in language acquisition.
    For many linguists,biological factors are the most important in language learning.Some argue that some linguistic knowledge must exist in our brains from birth because children cannot possibly experience every feature of their language before the age of five.These linguists point out that nearly all children can produce the same kinds of complex sentence structures by the age of five,even without having heard them before.
    Many researchers have theorized what this innate(先天的) linguistic knowledge must look like.One popular theory(理论) is universal grammar.This theory believes that all languages have the same basic structural foundation.That foundation is the innate knowledge universal to all humans.While children are not genetically tending to speak a particular language,a universal grammar gives them certain linguistic information as a starting point,which allows them to readily acquire the rules and patterns of whichever language they are exposed to.
    Not all linguists,however,believe that an inborn ability for language is the most important factor in language acquisition.These researchers place greater emphasis on the influence of usage and experience.They argue that children are exposed to a wealth of linguistic structures over the course of five years.They gather data and determine language patterns and structures from what they have observed.
    Linguists on both sides of the debate are still working to explain the different language learning abilities of adults and children.Early childhood seems to be an important period for mastering certain aspects of language.Children also tend to have a heightened ability to learn second languages.While adults may have some advantages when studying in a formal classroom they usually do not learn as quickly and easily as children.Are these different abilities a result of differences in how adults and children are exposed to a new language?Are they the result of biological changes,or do both biology and experience come into play?
    While our understanding of language acquisition is incomplete,this pursuit is well worth the effort"We still don't understand how a child learns its first language,why some children have language disorders,or how children and adults learn a second language,"explains Professor Joan Ma ling.
    Explaining the process of language acquisition promises not only to help scientists answer these questions,but also to explain fundamental features of learning and the human brain.

(1)What does the passage mainly talk about?        
A.The control of nurture over nature in language acquisition.
B.The influence of universal grammar in language acquisition.
C.The best methods for children and adults to acquire language.
D.The role of biological and environmental factors in language acquisition.
(2)What is covered in the second paragraph of this article?        
A.Studying language acquisition will help understand language and the brain better.
B.Some experts believe innate factors explain children's language development.
C.Some experts focus on the role of environmental factors in language acquisition.
D.Acquiring a language is complicated,and it involves both nature and nurture.
(3)What can we know about what the author wants from the 2 and 3 paragraph?        
A.Present a general argument and then explain a specific theory.
B.Present a specific theory and then propose a new study to prove it.
C.Present a general argument and then disprove an opposite argument.
D.Present a scientific debate and then discuss what all linguists agree on.
(4)What is the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6?        
A.To raise open questions that all linguists have.
B.To present two different viewpoints on language learning.
C.To stress the importance of experience in language learning.
D.To introduce adult language acquisition and show why it's unpopular.

[解析]
1)主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段Most linguistic researchers agree that both nature and nurture are involved in language acquisition.(大多数语言研究者认为先天和后天因素都参与语言习得。)以及后续段落分别讨论生物因素(nature)和环境因素(nurture)的作用可知,文章主要探讨生物因素和环境因素在语言习得中的角色。故选D
2)细节理解题。根据第二段For many linguistsbiological factors are the most important in language learning.Some argue that some linguistic knowledge must exist in our brains from birth because children cannot possibly experience every feature of their language before the age of five.(对于许多语言学家来说,生物因素在语言学习中是最重要的。一些人认为,某些语言知识一定从出生起就存在于我们的大脑中,因为儿童在五岁之前不可能体验到他们语言的每一个特征。)可知,一些专家认为,先天因素可以解释儿童的语言发展。故选B
3)推理判断题。根据第二段For many linguistsbiological factors are the most important in language learning.(对于许多语言学家来说,生物因素在语言学习中是最重要的。)和第三段中Many researchers have theorized what this innate (先天的) linguistic knowledge must look like.One popular theory (理论) is universal grammar.(许多研究人员已经对这种先天的语言知识进行了理论化。一个流行的理论是普遍语法。)可知,第二段首先提出一个普遍观点(生物因素在语言习得中起主要作用),第三段则具体介绍了一种理论(普遍语法理论)来解释这一观点,因此作者的行文逻辑是"提出总体论点,再阐述具体理论"。故选A
4)写作目的题。根据文章第五段和第六段,特别是第五段中Linguists on both sides of the debate are still working to explain the different language learning abilities of adults and children.(争论双方的语言学家仍在努力解释成人和儿童不同的语言学习能力。)可推断,作者写第五段和第六段的目的是提出两种不同的语言学习观点。故选B

204517. (2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高一下期末)     When I was young,a friend and I came up with a "big" plan to make reading easy.The idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. "Moby-Dick" by American writer Herman Melville,for instance,was reduced to: "A whale of a tale about the one that got away." As it turned out, the joke was on us.How could a single sentence convey the essence (精髓) of a masterpiece with over five hundred pages?
    Blinkist,a website and an app,now summarizes nonfiction titles in the form of quick takes labeled "bliks." The end result is more than one sentence,but not by much.Sarah Bakewell's "At the Existentialist Cafe" is broken into 11 screens of information;Michelle Obama's "Becoming" fills 13.
    Blinkist has been around since 2012.It calls its summaries "15-minute discoveries" to indicate how long it takes to read a Blinkist summary. "Almost none of us," the editors assure us, "have the time to read everything we'd like to read." Well,yes,of course. "So many books,so little time." declares a poster I once bought at a book market.But I judge the quality of someone's library by the books he or she has yet to read.
    That's because a book is something we ought to live with,rather than speed through and categorize.It offers an experience as real as any other.The point of reading a book is not accumulating information,or at least not that alone.The most essential aspect is the communication between writer and reader:The idea behind Blinkist,however,is the opposite:
    Reading can be,should be,measured by the efficient uptake (吸收) of key ideas.No,no,no.What's best about reading books is its inefficiency.
    When reading a book,we need to dive in,let it take over us,demand something of us,teach us what it can.Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who don't,in fact,want to read.A 15-minute summary misses the point of reading;speed-reading with the app isn't reading at all.

(1)What does the underlined part "the joke was on us" in Paragraph 1 mean?        
A.We were actually joking.
B.We were laughed at by others.
C.We were underestimating ourselves.
D.We were just embarrassing ourselves.
(2)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?        
A.What Blinkist is.
B.Why Binkist is popular.
C.How to use Blinkist.
D.Where you can use Blinkist.
(3)What is mentioned as a problem about reading in paragraph 3?        
A.There are few new books of quality.
B.Many books are hard to understand.
C.People do not have enough time to read.
D.People do not like reading as much as before.
(4)What is an ideal pattern of reading according to the author?        
A.Obtaining key ideas efficiently.
B.Further confirming our beliefs.
C.Accumulating information quickly.
D.Deeply involving ourselves in books.

214607. (2019•西电附中•高一上期中) If you are planning on travelling,there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
   First of all,always check and doublecheck departure(出发) time.It is surprising how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport,the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore,I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
   The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards(信用卡),it is still important to have some local money in cash(现金).Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars,I offered to pay in pounds instead. "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily.You can image how terrible I felt at that moment.
   The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May,when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester,to places like Athens,Rome or Madrid,where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

(1)Where is the writer most probably from?        
A.Britain
B.The USA
C.Italy
D.Greece
(2)When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver,he        
A.asked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake(假的)money
D.tried to pay by credit card
(3)Generally,in May the weather in London is        
A.warm and dry
B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet
D.cool and rainy

217962. (2023•西安中学•高三上四月) Lately,I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s,when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing,public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills .The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view,with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.
   And that was a missed opportunity because young children are remarkable listeners.They take in words,ideas and speech patterns,quite often without our awareness.Yet somewhere along the way,we teach them to stop listening.Perhaps they would benefit from lessons in selective silence,concentration,while focusing on knowing how to process all incoming information.Sadly,to the best of my knowledge,no such programs are offered.
   We seem to spend less time actually listening to one another.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as a result of exposure to television,the Internet and all manner of hand-held wireless devices.We tend to be more self-absorbed and primarily focused on hearing ourselves talk rather than listening to others.
   I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone,except my 86-year-old aunt,was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered to get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another.We could just as easily have had an online get-together.
   Listening is indeed a rare and special talent,and one that takes a lot of practice.But once you have gotten comfortable with the technique,you might find your next face-to-face talk a whole lot more meaningful.Simply listening for nuances(细微差别) in conversation will provide so much more context and substance for the words you are hearing.Remember,in order to be interesting,you must first be interested.And in conversation,you are supposed to be listening,not waiting to talk.

(1)What is the author's attitude toward the class in the 1990s?        
A.Objective.
B.Tolerant.
C.Favorable.
D.Prejudiced.
(2)What might be a reason that makes us bad listeners according to the author?        
A.We have less time to communicate.
B.We have a sense of self-importance.
C.The rapid development of technology.
D.The lack of care and understanding for others.
(3)What can we learn about the author's family gathering a few years ago?        
A.His aunt wasn't good at listening.
B.His aunt didn't like attending family gatherings.
C.His family members were engaged in hot discussions.
D.His family memberowed little interest in one another.
(4)What is the purpose of the last paragraph?        
A.To lead a discussion.
B.To give a suggestion.
C.To provide a warning.
D.To make a comparison.

217933. (2023•师大附中•高一上二月) Last year,I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange(交换) student.

217897. (2024•华清中学•高二上一月) With 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 it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside,as we continue to expand 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 arrived 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 quickly killed by wars 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 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 achievements 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 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.

(1)What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?        
A.Modern American society.
B.The creation of constitution.
C.The settlement of Europeans.
D.The exploitation of resources.
(2)What's the author's 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 make mining on Mars hard.
(3)What's the author's 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.
(4)Which column is this text most probably taken from?        
A.Opinion.
B.History.
C.Technology.
D.Environment.

217830. (2024•西安八十五中•高二上一月)     All authorities on the style of English essays agree that good writing is brief.Careful writers say what they mean in as few words as possible.
    A classic statement of this principle appears in the famous little book of William Strunk,Jr.,and E.B.White,The Elements of Style :"Vigorous(有力的) writing is brief.A sentence should contain no unnecessary words,a paragraph no unnecessary sentences,for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts."
    It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence—that is,which add nothing to the meaning—should be edited out.
    Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese,(or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese) contains unnecessary words Draft translations are commonly full of them,and even polished final versions are rarely free of them.
    Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers—a magazine article,a news story,an advertisement—and you are likely to find unnecessary words.Re 'even the shortest of English texts—the label on a food product,a billboard on the street,':company name on the front of a building—and,if you are on the alert to recognize the chances are that you will find words that could and should have been left out.Unnecessary words are the typical quality of Chinglish.

217803. (2024•西安一中•高一上一月)  Current Culture:Is Common Culture Alive? The digitizing(数字化) and globalizing world is changing the working of culture.As some see it,cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit:people can no longer depend on those around them valuing any of the same music or films.Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as changing forms:it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks.
    The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today,that the culture is increasingly available everywhere you want it,and whenever you want it,not just in the two months after the movie or book came out.Cultural possibilities have multiplied (倍增) as a result,but the change also means fewer cultural moments.It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society.So what will it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture?
    For the enthusiasts (热衷者) of these changes,culture is not about popular artists or books,but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia,where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas,and makes connections across boundaries (边界) .It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have participated in such websites,but in totally different corners of them,have had a cultural experience in common.In fact,these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people,who build things together,share information,and forward articles back and forth.
    There are still more questions.What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation?Is there anything to defend and preserve(维护) in the passing cultural world,or is that only to favor pen over printing press,horse over automobile(汽车)?
    Up to now a growing quantity of culture has been globally spreading and developing.More individuals than ever have the chances to be makers of culture,even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common.What it means is this strange feeling:that of being more connected than ever,with one-click(点击) access to so much of the cultural harvest around the world,and yet,of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others,concerned only with ourselves.

(1)In Paragraph 1 the author indicates        .
A.the missing of common culture
B.the cultural diversity among people
C.the disadvantage in the digitizing society
D.the double standard of cultural evaluation
(2)It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that        .
A.people feel satisfied with the current culture
B.enthusiasts look for current culture from famous artists
C.disappearance of common culture is a problem to be solved
D.common culture may exit into websites that connect the world

217774. (2025•西安中学•高二下期末) A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In reality,it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.
   How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
   This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
   It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become …take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

(1)Why does the lion tamer use a chair?       
A.To trick the lion.
B.To show off his skills.
C.To get ready for a fight.
D.To entertain the audience.
(2)In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?       
A.They feel puzzled over choices.
B.They hold on to the wrong things.
C.They find it hard to make changes.
D.They have to do something for show.
(3)What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?       
A.Tolerant.
B.Doubtful.
C.Respectful.
D.Supportive.
(4)When the world is "waving a chair in your face",you're advised to       
A.wait for a better chance
B.break your old habits

    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs,not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators :'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle(微妙的) emotions you put into the work, "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow,I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First,it's sped-up songs and movies;then gradually,it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test , "a Chinese netizen said,Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks,I would think to myself, "How can I speed this up?"We already live in a fast-paced society,yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush?Some thingould not be sped up,like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down,control the usage of screens,and regain our patience.

214609. (2019•西电附中•高一上期中) When it comes to learning a foreign language,many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary.But this question never happens about their mother tongue,and yet,it was a foreign language once.However,among all the questions that new parents ask,no doctor has ever heard: "Will my baby be able to learn my language?" Be honest,do you know all the words of your mother tongue?The answer is: "no".
   New words,and new ways of using old words,appear every day.Twenty years ago,who could have been able to understand a sentence like this: "Click here to download your digital book."?Nobody.You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.
   Sometimes,you have the word on the tip of your tongue…and it sticks there!But you do know this phenomenon(现象) and don't think that it is because of a bad memory.You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.
   You need to learn only 2000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly.And before you consider buying into any method,be sure it is right for you.It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics(记忆群).The first few words seem very easy to learn,so you buy the course,but then you discover quickly,though too late,that a dozen words later,it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.

(1)From the first paragraph,we can infer that       
A.there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language
B.it is honest to answer "no" to a question you don't know

214608. (2019•西电附中•高一上期中) When an earth hit a small town,many houses fell down.After the earthquake,all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
   One Sunday,when I was reading a newspaper,a special picture touched me.It gave the clothing sizes of each family member.I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,Megan,and three-year-old Meghan, "We have so much,and these poor people now have nothing.We'll shall what we have with them."
   I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this,I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their toys and games and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later,she came back with Lucy,he much-loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh,dear," I said. "You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much." Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy,Mummy.Maybe she'll make another little girl happy,too."

201549. (2025•西安中学•一模)     Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben,whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this:do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them,thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle,our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation(拯救).Of course,there are things we could and should be doing,but in terms of forestry practice,often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring(蒸发).If there's no water,there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast,but trees have many ways of dealing with it,and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species,we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive,too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip(点滴)-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous(落叶的) forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood,but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years:they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy",and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees,they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
    
(1)What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture?        
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
(2)How do trees survive the drought?        
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
(3)What can we infer from the text?        
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the text?        
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

218039. (2023•长安区•高三上一月)     We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles.Many of the world's cities are blocked with traffic,creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides.The solution for a cleaner,greener future could be electric vehicles.But how optimistic should we be?There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.But is that easier said than done?
    The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.Currently,battery life is an issue —a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol.There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course,technology is always improving.Some of the biggest tech companies,like Google and Tesla,are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars.And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too.
    Colin Herron,a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology,told the BBC: "The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries,which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars." These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range.Cost is another issue that may discourage people from switching to electric power.But some countries offer incentive,such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes,and not charging for road tax and parking.Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on,overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.
    These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future. "It's emission-free motoring,but the car has to be built,the battery has to be built,and the electricity does come from somewhere." Maybe it's time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.

(1)Which statement can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1?        
A.Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
B.Probably it is hard to procure a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
C.We should not be too optimistic about the future.
D.It's not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
(2)What does the underlined word "incentive" mean in Paragraph 3?        
A.Improvements.
B.Drawbacks.
C.Communications.
D.Bonuses.
(3)According to the passage,which opinion the author might agree to?        
A.Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a "great leap forward".
B.There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
C.Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
D.Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.
(4)What is the most suitable title for the text?        
A.Total Electric Traffic:a Long Way to Go.
B.Electric Power or Petrol:a Tough Decision to Make.
C.Petrol and Diesel Vehicles:a Main Source of Gases.
D.Electric Vehicles:a Road to a Modern Society.

214534. (2020•西安一中•高二下期中) Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese,as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.The first,a World Natural Heritage,is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries(候鸟保护地)along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng,East China's Jiangsu Province.The second,the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou,East China's Zhejiang Province,was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.
   China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017.It only took two years to successfully complete the process.The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area.It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world.The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea.The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species,especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos,go there to hunt for food during the migration season.The birds usually take a month to finish their migration.At about 10 days into their migration,they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.
   Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application,the Liangzhu application was far more complicated.The application team spent six years making their dream a reality.A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site,which means the application and assessment(评定)process takes a longer time.The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China,which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago.The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China.
   With these two new additions,China now has 55 World Heritage sites,the highest number in the world.The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations(义务).Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work.The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns.Meanwhile,the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers,some 14.3 square kilometers,makes protection a difficult issue to handle.Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure.Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts,so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation.

(1)What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries?       
A.It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea.
B.It provides safe habitats for endangered species.
C.It's located along the coast of the Yellow River.
D.It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds.
(2)According to Paragraph 2,how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds?       
A.By creating warm places to produce baby birds.
B.By preventing them from being killed by hunters.
C.By providing food supplies during their migration.
D.By curing the endangered birds after their journey.
(3)Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site?       
A.It shows the long history of China.
B.It proves the wisdom of the people.
C.It witnesses the civilization of an age.
D.It reveals the food of the late Neolithic.
(4)What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?       
A.The application success's promotion of tourism.
B.Chinese responsibilities after the successful application.
C.The two places' influence on Chinese history.
D.Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration.
