201674. (2024•师大附中•八模)     Recently,I was walking with some parents when we came across a five-pound note lying on the ground.We stood around it for a moment,a bit awkwardly,until someone suggested putting it on a nearby bench.Then one of the parents remarked that we'd probably have behaved differently — that is,we would have just taken the money — had we been alone.
    This relates to a classic question in studies of human generosity:do we behave more selfishly when we aren't being observed?The debate goes on across the psychological and biological sciences,as well as in popular culture,about whether kindness can exist in a competitive world.
    Yom Kippur is a Jewish (犹太人的) religious holiday when Jewish people fast and ask for forgiveness for the wrongs they've committed.One of the points of Yom Kippur is to behave better regardless of who is watching.There's an evolutionary beauty to the teachings of Yom Kippur,which are the products of thousands of years of cultural changes and evolution.
    The Maasai people of Kenya practice osotua:relationships between people that operate based on need.When someone forms an osotua relationship with another,they enter into an unwritten contract to help their partner in times of need.And hunter-gatherer groups,which can represent the circumstances our species evolved in,have many similar examples.
    Cultural evolution helps to explain the existence and complexity of these systems.Cultural changes are far faster than biological evolution,allowing intelligent species like humans to develop behavioral adaptations for managing complex social environments.Osotua,or any other practice that helps to maintain good treatment of others in society,is the result of tens of thousands of years of cultural trial and error.The customs passed down over time are those that help us to develop as cultural groups.
    The study of those changes has helped us to understand how we successfully spread around the world as cooperative groups.Biological evolution has helped humans be more cooperative,but cultural changes have accelerated this process.
    Cultural evolution helps us to overcome our selfish natures.Try to understand rules before you ignore them — and next time you find a fiver on the ground,you might think about the awkward situation your discovery represents.

(1)What made the parents feel a bit awkward?        
A.The difficulty sharing the money.
B.The difficulty finding the owner of the money.
C.The thought of putting the money on the bench.
D.The thought of keeping the money for themselves.
(2)Why is "Yom Kippur" talked about in the text?        
A.To highlight a fact.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To make a comparison.
D.To support an argument.
(3)How is biological evolution different from cultural evolution?        
A.It evolves much slower.
B.It takes much less time.
C.It is a more complex process.
D.It makes humans more cooperative.
(4)What does the author intend to explain in the text?        
A.How cultural evolution takes place.
B.Why people sometimes behave selfishly.
C.Why kindness exists in a competitive world.
D.How kindness spreads throughout the world.

[解析]
1)细节理解题。根据第一段We stood around it for a momenta bit awkwardlyuntil someone suggested putting it on a nearby bench.Then one of the parents remarked that we'd probably have behaved differently that iswe would have just taken the money had we been alone. (我们围着它有点尴尬地站了一会儿,直到有人建议把它放在附近的长凳上。然后,其中一位家长说,如果我们单独在那里,我们的行为可能会有所不同﹣﹣﹣也就是说,我们会直接拿走钱。)可知,当看到地上的钱时,这些父母们实际上产生了自私的想法:将钱占为己有,这种想法使人感到有点尴尬。故选D
2)推理判断题。根据第三段Yom Kippur is a Jewish (犹太人的) religious holiday when Jewish people fast and ask for forgiveness for the wrongs they've committed.One of the points of Yom Kippur is to behave better regardless of who is watching.There's an evolutionary beauty to the teachings of Yom Kippurwhich are the products of thousands of years of cultural changes and evolution. (赎罪日是犹太人的宗教节日,犹太人在这一天斋戒,为自己犯下的错误请求宽恕。赎罪日的要点之一就是无论谁在观看,都要表现得更好。赎罪日的教义有一种进化的美,它是几千年文化变化和进化的产物。)可知,赎罪日的教义要求人遵循善行,为自己的错误请求宽恕,它源于文化变化和进化,再结合第二段中的The debate goes on across the psychological and biological sciencesas well as in popular cultureabout whether kindness can exist in a competitive world. (关于善行是否能存在于一个竞争激烈的世界,在心理学和生物科学以及流行文化中都有争论。)可推知,提到赎罪日是为了支持"善行能存在于一个竞争激烈的世界"的论点,并引出其背后的原因。故选D
3)细节理解题。根据第五段中的Cultural changes are far faster than biological evolutionallowing intelligent species like humans to develop behavioral adaptations for managing complex social environments. (文化的变化比生物进化要快得多,这使得像人类这样有智力的物种能够发展出适应复杂社会环境的行为。)可知,生物进化与文化进化的不同之处在于它进行地慢得多。故选A
4)推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章在语篇结构上分为三部分,第一部分由第一、二段构成,引出文章的话题:在这个充满竞争的世界里是否还存在善行,第二部分由第三、四段构成,列举有关例子来证明人的善行的存在,第三部分由第五至七段构成,解释仍然存在善行是千百年来的文化进化所致,最后一段中Cultural evolution helps us to overcome our selfish natures. (文化进化帮助我们克服自私的本性)点明文章的主旨。由此可知,作者主要想解释"为什么善行存在于充满竞争的世界"。因此CWhy kindness exists in a competitive world(为什么善良存在于竞争的世界)符合题意。故选C

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.

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?

B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

204106. (2023•西安中学•高二上期末) I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning,wondering at itape:Hexagonal(六边形的) paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork,with a tidy stone wall running alongside.Just past the wall lay the park itself,where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky,and sparrows emerged from trees.
   The contrast between the straight-lined,orderly,man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man's creation.
   The world holds many examples of circles:the moon,grapes,drops of water and the center of flowers.Triangles(三角形) are readily evident,too.There are kitty cat noses and ears,mountain peaks and river deltas.
   But what about the most common shape in the man-made world,the rectangle(矩形)?I searched my brain for natural equals.Though I thought and thought,I came up with only two:teeth and salt crystals.That surprised me.Do we prefer rectangles simply because it's easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines?Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear?I don't know.
   There are bent lines everywhere.As I look at the beauty of,a tree in winter,with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern,I can apprehend something of what that means.
   Our world isn't always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be.There are twists and turns in my life that I can't foresee or predict.That doesn't mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong.It means that when I find myself in each new place,I need to continue growing and reaching upward.

(1)How did the author feel about the sidewalk'ape?        
A.disappointed.
B.surprised.
C.worried.
D.pleased.
(2)What is the author' s attitude to the variouapes mentioned in the text?        
A.negative.
B.cautious.
C.unconcerned.
D.objective.
(3)Which can explain the underlined word "apprehend" in paragraph 5?        
A.create.
B.imagine.
C.understand.
D.arrange.
(4)What may the author agree with?        
A.People should live in a complex world.
B.Triangles are the most common in nature.
C.Natural creation and man's creation should be balanced.
D.We should move forward in the face of uncertainties.

202832. (2020•西工大附中•四模) At the first Olympic marathon in 1896,athletes ran a shorter course than today's 42.2-kilometer event.Even so,only the winner finished within three hours.However,runners have improved,and one expert predicted last year that the two-hour mark would be broken in 2028.
   On Oct 12,Eliud Kipchoge came in ahead of schedule - literally.The 34-year-old Olympic champion from Kenya became the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours.Clocking in at 1:59:40,Kipchoge pumped his chest and even sped up after crossing the finish line as he ran happily to his wife. "No one is limited.Thiows the positivity of sport," Kipchoge told the BBC after the race in Vienna,Austria. "Together when we run,we can make it a beautiful world."
   Apart from Kipchoge's strong willpower and outstanding physical condition,a few tricks of science and technology helped him reach this milestone in human athletic achievement.
   Hills and turns slow runners down,so Kipchoge's team picked the course in Vienna for its gentle curves (弯曲度).
   The city's cool and dry weather was also important,said Wired.The magazine talked to exercise physiologists,who think the weather helped keep Kipchoge's body running more efficiently throughout the race.
   A special pair of shoes also played a big part.According to The New York Times,the shoes Kipchoge wore were designed to give a significant edge (优势) to anyone wearing them in a race.
   One other key to this breakthrough was Kipchoge's pacing strategy.He ran with a dream team of pacers, deployed by sports scientists.Five runners formed a V-shape ahead of Kipchoge,reducing drag (阻力),and two runners followed directly behind to push him forward.Kipchoge stayed in the center of the formation.The team rotated (轮换) members every five kilometers,and he stayed under a two-hour pace for almost the entire length of the race.There was also a pace car driving 15 meters in front of everyone,casting a laser (激光) line on the road to keep them on track.
   "Few world records today are technology free," noted The Telegraph.Hard work and dedication are still the core (核心) of athletic achievement,but science and technology are helping modern athletes maximize their potential.

(1)Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs?       
A.42.2-kilometer marathon first started in 1896.
B.Eliud Kipchoge is predicted to break the record in 2028.
C.Eliud Kipchoge won the Olympic champion at 1:59:40.
D.Eliud Kipchoge from Kenya set a new marathon record in less than two hour.
(2)What factor does not benefit Eliud Kipchoge in the challenge?       
A.His strong willpower.
B.Physiologists' talk.
C.His extraordinary physical condition.
D.Special running shoes.
(3)What's the closest explanation of the underlined word?       
A.follow
B.monitor
C.arrange
D.motivate
(4)What's the best title for the passage?       
A.Running into record books.
B.How to maximize one's athletic potential.
C.Few world record today are technology free.
D.Eliud Kipchoge's outstanding sports achievements.

202833. (2020•西工大附中•四模) We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new,but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style.That's bad news for the environment and our wallets-as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
   To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation.Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box-set TVs defined 1992.Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones,and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,before tablets and e-readerowed up in 2007.
   As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room,and suddenly one day,you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher.The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.We're not just keeping these old devices -we continue to use them.According to the analysis of Babbitt's team,old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy,consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
   So what's the solution (解决方案)?The team's data only went up to 2007,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing.They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.

(1)What does the author think of new devices?        
A.They are environment-friendly.
B.They are no better than the old.
C.They cost more to use at home.
D.They go out of style quickly.
(2)Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?        
A.To reduce the cost of minerals.
B.To test the life cycle of a product.
C.To update consumers on new technology.
D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
(3)Which of the following uses the least energy?        
A.The box-set TV.
B.The tablet.
C.The LCD TV.
D.The desktop computer.
(4)What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?        
A.Stop using them.
B.Take them apart.
C.Upgrade them.
D.Recycle them.

202834. (2020•西工大附中•四模) Spring is coming,and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough,so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us,but the workplace may not.
   A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(文身)nose rings,or certain dress styles.It is true you can't judge a book by its cover,yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey certain messages.What we wear,including tattoos and nose rings,is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies.Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons,but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
   Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom,but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees,because those people represent the companies to their customers.
   As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers.There are plenty of well-qualified candidates,so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded,I can't expect all our customers are.
   There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards,as long as its standards are legal.

(1)Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2?       
A.People's appearances carry message about themselves.
B.Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.
C.Candidates with tattoos or nose ringould be fairly treated.
D.Strange dress styleould not be encouraged in the workplace.
(2)What can be inferred from the text?       
A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
(3)Which of the following would be the best title for the text?       
A.Employees Matter
B.Personal Choices Matter
C.Appearances Matter
D.Hiring Managers Matter
(4)The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as       
A.enthusiastic
B.negative
C.positive
D.sympathetic

203033. (2017•铁一中学•一模) ONE day I saw a TV advertisement.A couple - she in a black dress,he in a super-stylish shirt and tie - was enjoying a candlelit (烛光的) meal accompanied by romantic music.The location?Pizza Hut.I nearly choked on my tea.
   "What?!" I laughed to my Chinese friend. "Pizza Hut is trying to be all gourmet(美食的)and fashionable?!" My friend looked confused. "But Pizza Hut is fashionable," she said. " You go there for a special meal."
   In China,chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool.Going to Starbucks,for example,is a status symbol.It not only says, " I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee," but also, "I'm cosmopolitan(见多识广的)enough to be part of globalization."
   Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet.Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere are neither fashionable nor gourmet.Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing. "I'm hungry!" any longer.In my own case(with regards to McDonald's),a chain is where you are taken on your first "date".Even at the age of 13,I knew to give the guy the "let's just be friends" phone call the next day.
   In the UK,independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.Nowadays,a Londoner who says "let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth" (an independent café) is much cooler than one says "let's go to Starbucks",Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
   Of course,there are chain stores all over the UK;you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee.But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do,however,have a confession.After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated to McDonald's.Even so,I would never describe my Big Mac as "haute cuisine."
(1)Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because        
A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE?        
A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B.Branches of Monmouth's café can be found all over the UK.
C.Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the Uk.
D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
(3)What does the underlined word " haute cuisine" in the last paragraph mean?        
A.high-class cookery
B.expensive cookers
C.delicious food
D.a fashionable tradition
(4)What is the main point of the article?        
A.The difference between Chinese food and the western food.
B.The comeback of independent cafes and restaurants in the UK
C.What makes chain restaurants gourmet and fashionable both in China and the UK.
D.The different attitudes towards chain restaurants of Chinese and British people.

203035. (2017•铁一中学•一模) The following passage is adapted from the writings of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
   Any scientist who is not a pretender will admit the important part that luck plays in scientific discovery.A colleague and I carried out an experiment in which little tissue fragments(组织碎片),which were very difficult to work with,were injected into mice of different DNA strains.If we had been more experienced,we would have injected only white blood cells (which would have been easier to handle) into the mice.We now know that if we had done this,we would not have made the discovery.Obviously,we were lucky,but our scientific training enabled us to recognize the significance of the accident.
   It might nevertheless seem as if luck plays a significant role in scientific discovery.However,I would like to challenge this view for the following reasons:we sometimes describe as "lucky" a person who wins a prize in a lottery at long odds;but if we describe such an event as luck,what word shall we use to describe the accidental discovery of a lottery ticket that turns out to be the winning one just on a park bench?
   The two cases are quite different.A person who buys a lottery ticket is putting himself or herself in the way of winning a prize.This individual has,so to speak,purchased candidacy(候选资格)for such a turn of events and all the rest is a matter of mathematical probabilities.So it is with scientists.A scientist is anyone who,by observations and experiments conducted,by the literature read,and even by the company kept,puts himself or herself in the way of making a discovery.These individuals,by deliberate action,have enormously enlarged their awareness-their candidacy for good fortune-and will now take into account evidence of a kind that a beginner or a casual observer would probably overlook or misinterpret.
   Nearly all successful scientists have emphasized the importance of preparedness of mind,and I want to emphasize that this preparedness of mind is worked for and paid for by a great deal of effort and reflection.If these efforts lead to a discovery,then I think it would be inappropriate to credit such a discovery to luck.
(1)The outcome of the experiment described in paragraph one suggests that       
A.luck play an insignificant part in scientific discovery
B.the injection of only while blood cells allowed the two scientists to make their discovery
C.It was difficult to inject little tissue fragments into mice of different DNT strains
D.the scientists concerned in the experiment were able to benefit from luck
(2)The author uses the example of the lottery winner in order to suggest that       
A.blind luck occurs more frequently than people realize
B.luck plays a more important part in most events than people realize
C.luck is not the correct term to use when referring to a significant scientific discovery
D.luck is the best word to be used to describe the accidental discovery in science
(3)The author implies that a scientist achieves " candidacy for good fortune" by       
A.making careful and repeated mathematical calculations
B.depending on feelings rather than on scientific research
C.performing enough experiments to increase the statistical probability of success
D.obtaining knowledge that allows him or her to recognize important evidence
(4)The primary purpose of the passage is to       
A.make a single definition of luck
B.show that scientists discover what they intend to find
C.compare scientific discovery to a lottery game
D.discuss the role of luck in science

203806. (2024•周至四中•高一上期末) It was a village in India.The people were poor.However,they were not unhappy.After all,their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
   Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs.However,they did not have enough frogs of their own,and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
   This seemed like money for nothing.There were millions of frogs in the fields around,and they were no use to the villagers.All they had to do was catch them.Agreement was reached,and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs.Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money.For the first time,the people were able to dream of a better future.But the dream didn't last long.
   The change was hardly noticed at first,but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worrying was that the children fell ill more often,and,there seemed to be more insects around lately.
   The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak.They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines.Soon there was no money left.
   Then the people realized what was happening.It was the frog.They hadn't been useless.They had been doing an important job-eating insects.Now with so many frogs killed,the insects were increasing more rapidly.They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
   Now,the people are still poor.But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

(1)From Paragraph 1,we learn that the villagers       
A.worked very hard for centuries
B.dreamed of having a better life
C.were poor but somewhat content
D.lived a different life from their forefathers
(2)Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?       
A.The frogs were easy money.
B.They needed money to buy medicine.
C.They wanted to please the visitors.
D.The frogs made too much noise.
(3)What might be the cause of the children's sickness?       
A.The crops didn't do well.
B.There were too many insects.
C.The visitors brought in diseases.
D.The pesticides were overused.
(4)What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?       
A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B.Health is more important than money.
C.The harmony between man and nature is important.
D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

203880. (2024•阎良区•高二上期末)     At thirteen,I was diagnosed(诊断) with kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I couldn't.
    In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems I might not be able to do it."
    She glanced down at me through her glasses, "You are not different from your classmates,young man." I tried,but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.
    In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person Louis Braile.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots(点),which opened up a whole new world of.knowledge to the blind.
    Wasn't I the "blind" in my class,being made to learn like the "sighted" students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was not different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problem,why should I ever give up?
    I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an "A" on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words, "See what you can do when you keep trying?"

(1)What problem did the author meet when he was in class?        
A.He didn't like the teacher.
B.He was not fond of literature.
C.The classroom was too noisy.
D.He couldn't focus his attention in class.
(2)What can we learn about Louis Braile from the passage?

203956. (2024•鄠邑二中•高二下期末)     When I was a 19-year-old college student,a call from the hospital about my father's blood transfusion and throat surgery came the night before an exam.My father had been in a deep unconscious state for a week,and I was the closest son to him,responsible for his medical decisions.The blood transfusion was an easy decision.It was a relatively safe procedure.The throat surgery was another thing.I didn't know how my father would feel if he recovered consciousness and had a hole in his throat for the rest of his life.Ultimately,I declined.This experience made me even less willing to be vulnerable (脆弱的) and honest about my struggles of making big decisions.
    Years later,I became a professor.I learned to value my students' growth and others' perceptions.My students needed compassion and support.So,I shared something about my father's illness and death to acknowledge that life went on outside of my classroom and grades were not the most important thing in the world.I told my students my past lessons.I knew they might be suffering in adversity,and I wanted them to know that if they needed help,I would understand.The response was immediate and powerful.My connections with students deepened and I could instruct them on a new level.I changed nothing about the way I delivered course material,but student exam scores improved,as did my teaching evaluations.
    A fellow professor asked me, "If this works so well,why didn't you do it sooner?" I said, "Vulnerability is really hard.It involvearing of yourself as fully as you are able to,including admitting wrongdoing and acknowledging that you can't always be your best self.Far from being a sign of weakness,it requires a ton of strength."
    Exposing your imperfections,connecting with students on a deeper level and creating space for them to grow will always be challenging,but it is worth it.I cannot know everything that is going on in every student's life,but I can always choose compassion.

(1)Why did the author reject his father's throat surgery?        
A.He was worried about the risks during the surgery.
B.He was unsure about his father's post-surgical feeling.
C.He was unsure if his father would regain consciousness.
D.He was worried about the pre-surgical preparation procedure.
(2)What change did the students have after the author shared his past lessons?        
A.They were less focused on their grades.
B.They became more distant from the author.
C.They became more engaged and responsive.
D.They were less willing to ask the author for help.
(3)What does the author convey in paragraph 3?        
A.It is easy to admit our imperfections.
B.It is hard to acknowledge we are the best.
C.Vulnerability is challenging but shows courage.
D.Vulnerability is more a sign of weakness than strength.
(4)What is the text?        
A.A science fiction novel.
B.A news report.

204011. (2023•师大附中•高二下期末)     My wife,Hannah,and I don't usually keep houseplants.Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered,but after my diagnosis with brain cancer,I loved the idea of having something green around.
    A friend gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green bowl.We placed the plant in the living room and I told Hannah I wanted to care for it myself.When it didn't immediately turn yellow or lose leaves,I was pleasantly surprised.Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment when I sometimes felt useless.As a family physician,I was used to offering care,not receiving it.
    Since my diagnosis,I had to rely on help from other people. Watering the plant,small act as it was,connected me to a core part of my old identity.
    After I recovered from the operation and returned to work,I continued to care for the plant.Soon,it had nearly doubled in height.Both the plant and I were thriving.Then,without any reason,it began to show signs of stress.Its leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor.Hannah reminded me that we'd seen houseplants die before,but I couldn't shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my health.I grew increasingly depressed and fearful.
    Looking back,I realized I had wrongly connected my caring of the plant—something I could manage—with my own survival—something I couldn't.Knowing I couldn't control my fate (命运),my anxiety actually lessened.I began to search online to figure out how to care for my plant.Following the instructions,I transplanted the plant to a larger pot,giving it room to grow.When it was back in the sunny window,we both began to thrive again.Whenever I look at the plant in its new pot,I make a point to think of those who have cared for and supported me.

(1)Why was the author surprised about the plant's good condition?        
A.Because he had unusual good luck.
B.Because his health was worsening.
C.Because he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
D.Because the plant didn't grow badly like before.
(2)What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 imply?        
A.The author considered himself useless.
B.The author desired to provide care.
C.The author was concerned about his health.
D.The author hoped to return to work.
(3)Why was the author fearful?        
A.Because the plant's poor health might indicate his death.
B.Because the stress of work would harm his well-being.
C.Because he may have to rely on others from then on.
D.Because he would experience a rather risky operation.
(4)How did the author lessen his anxiety?        
A.By searching plant knowledge online.
B.By accepting his unavoidable limitation.
C.By knowing he will survive in the end.
D.By thinking of those who supported him.

204080. (2023•西安中学•高一上期末) If English means endless new words,difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation,you are wrong.Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
   According to a new study by a British university,learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
   The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli,from London University,took a group of Britain people who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt a second language before the age of five,as well as a number of later learners.
   Scanowed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language,the smaller the difference was.
   "Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
   Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skill. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible," he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."
   The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading,writing and comprehension were all tested.The resultowed that the younger they started to learn,the better. "Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.

(1)The main subject talked about in this passage is       .
A.science on learning a second language
B.man's ability of learning a second language
C.language can help brain power
D.language learning and math study
(2)In the second paragraph,the writer mentions "exercise" in order to       .
A.say language is also a kind of physical labor
B.prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C.show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
(3)In the last two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us that       .
A.learning a second language is the same as studying math
B.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects
C.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D.we'd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

204107. (2023•西安中学•高二上期末) I once met a young woman who had dreams of swimming for the U.S Olympic team.She had to get up every morning at 4 a.m.to swim for 3 hours before going to school.She did not party with her friends on Saturday night.She had to study and keep her grades up,just like everyone else.
   When I asked her what compelled her with such super-human ambition and sacrifice(牺牲),she simply said. "I do it for myself and the people I love.It's love that gets me over the hurdles and sacrifices."
   A reason or a purpose is a combination of "wants" and "don't wants. "When people ask me what my reason for wanting to be rich is,it is a combination of deep emotional "wants" and "don't wants."
   I will list a few.First the "don't wants." for they create the "wants." I don't want to work all my life.I don't want what my parents aspired for,which was job security and a big house.I don't like being an employee.I hated it that my dad always missed my football games because he was so busy working on his career.I hated it when my dad worked hard all his life and the government took most of what he worked for at his death.
   Now the "wants".I want to be free to travel the world and live in the lifestyle I love.I want to be young when I do this.I want control over my time and my life.I want money to work for me.
   Those are my deep-seated,emotional reasons.What are yours?If they are not strong enough,the reality of the road ahead may be greater than your reasons.I have lost money and been set back many times.but it was the deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up and going forward.I wanted to be free by age 40.but it took me until I was 47 with many learning experiences along the way.
   I wish I could say it was easy.It wasn't,but it wasn't hard either.But without a strong reason or purpose anything in life is hard.

(1)The passage is started by        .
A.giving an example
B.explaining the causes
C.pointing out similarities
D.describing the differences
(2)The underlined word "compelled" in Para.2 probably means        .
A.committed
B.inspired
C.forced
D.combined
(3)We know from the passage that        .
A.the "wants" lead to the "don't wants"
B.the "wants" come from the "don't wants"
C.the "don't wants" have little to do with the "wants"
D.the "don't wants" are more important than the "wants"
(4)What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Para.6?        
A.The reality is greater than the deep emotional reasons.
B.With stronger emotional reasons,life must be much easier.
C.With deeper emotional reasons,the road ahead is likely to be harder.
D.In reality,we may meet many more obstacles without deeper emotional reasons.

202805. (2020•西安中学•三模) We often hear such statements: "I spilled (洒出) juice,but it wasn't my fault.", "I got in trouble at school,but it wasn't my fault." or "I was in a car accident,but it wasn't my fault." That "It's not my fault." is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.
   Parents complain they are tired of the "excuse".The reason why variations of "It's not my fault." are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame.I'm a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can't control.Teens who often say "It's my fault." when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical,perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.
   While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself,many teens over-rely on "It's not my fault." When trying to get them to take responsibility,parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault.The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle.No one wins.A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.
   Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives.This sense has been shown to cause low motivation.Besides creating feelings of lack of ability,overuse of "It's not my fault." focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.
   People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway.The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake.One can certainly stay in water,yelling, "It's not my fault." However,that won't get him out of water.He needs to swim to the shore,regardless of the fault.
   If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens,you can help them avoid over-reliance on "It's not my fault."

(1)What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?        
A.The teenagers' dislike for school life.
B.The common trouble faced by teenagers.
C.The reasons for blaming others for accidents.
D.The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life.
(2)What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text?        
A.Those lacking confidence and ambition.
B.Those allowing others to find excuses.
C.Those unable to get along well with others.
D.Those often blaming themselves for some incidents.
(3)What's the author's attitude to parents' usual way of guiding children?        
A.Supportive.
B.Negative.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Neutral.
(4)What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author?        
A.We should try to avoid troubling others.
B.We should focus on how to solve problems.
C.We should dare to point out others' mistakes.
D.We should be self-critical as much as possible.

204145. (2023•周至四中•高一下期末) As a teenager,school was difficult for me.I had a kind of attention disorder,which means I couldn't direct my attention to what I was doing.So when everyone else in the class was centering their attention on tasks,I could not.
   In my first reading class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all finished in 45 minutes.I immediately put up my hand and said, "Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to finish the task."
