   Susanna asked Maisie if she had a technique for dealing with her nerves. "It depends on what it is，" said Maisie. "A lot of the time — and it's going to sound really stupid — but I write a script.I write down all of the questions that I could be asked and try to come up with something so that my brain won't go blank when I'm under pressure.

220409. （2016•长安区一中•高一下一月） Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform？It's too early to answer．But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education．Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students，so-called child prodigies（奇才），to begin classes on March l，2011．On graduating in 2015，these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education----unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities．
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology，but if the government will not approve the school，the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions．Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas．

203073. （2017•铁一中学•三模） Good news for giant panda lovers：The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction．
The International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii．
$德优题库$
The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1，864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014-their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014．
Chinese conservation efforts，including forest protection and reforestation，are considered to be the driving force behind the animal's resurgence．
"It's all about restoring the habitats，"Craig Hilton-Taylor，head of the IUCN Red List，told the BBC．
The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67，from 13 in 1992．Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves，according to the World Wildlife Fund．
"Just by restoring the panda's habitat，that's given them back their space and made food available to them，"Hilton-Taylor said．
A loss of habitats，on the contrary，was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1，200 in the 1980s，Hilton-Taylor added．
Apart from giant pandas，the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from"endangered"to"near threatened"．According to a statement from IUCN，the animal's numbers dwindled severely-dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65，000-72，500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching．Rigorous（严格的） protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100，000 and 150，000．
Despite the improved statuses，wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges．The IUCN warned，for example，that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80 years，which would reverse the species recent gains．

（1）What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean？

A．dangerous and threatened

B．safe and sound

C．weak and easily hurt

D．normal and common

（2）Which of the following can account for pandas' living improvement？
A．Better climate．
B．More built reserves．
C．Well restored habitats．
D．Aroused public awareness．
（3）The passage is written in order to ．

A．convince

B．inform

C．argue D advocate

（4）What does the last paragraph imply？
A．The climate will influence the threatened species．
B．We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species．
C．Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food．
D．Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply．

203283. （2016•华清中学•二模） When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam，he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake，President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that，in Korea，wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore，she should be addressed （称谓） as Mrs．Sohn．
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．
In addition to Koreans，some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents．They become puzzled about the student's correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．
Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries，she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name，they generally write the father's family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures，the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce，admit it，and ask the person to help you say it correctly．
（1）The story of Bill Clinton is used to        ．
A．improve US-Korean relations
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea
D．tell us how to address a person
（2）When a woman marries in Korea，she        ．
A．continues to use her family name
B．uses her husband's given name
C．shares her husband's family name
D．adds her husband's given name to hers
（3）To address a married woman properly，you'd better        ．
A．use her middle name
B．use her husband's first name
C．ask her which name she likes
D．change the order of her names．

203285. （2016•华清中学•二模） Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants，nurses，sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．
Many of these wage-earners return in the end．In the meantime，they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines' case，over 10% of its GDP．Between January and November，the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting （劳务输出） countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import （输入） labour，as in Europe，falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．
On January 13^th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） signed an agreement to help migrant （流动的） workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries，but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．
Of the ten ASEAN countries，the Philipines，Indonesia，Myanmar，Cambodia，Vietnam and Laos export labour，Singapore and Brunei import it，and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that，in the next ten years，the total labour force of the worker-exporting countrieould grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control．
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers，and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore，just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates （犯罪率）．
（1）It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that        ．
A．the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B．labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D．the country both exports and imports labour force
（2）The flow of labour is a growing problem because        ．
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
（3）For the labour-importing countries，the flow of labour may lead to        ．
A．higher birth rates
B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows
D．stronger job competition
（4）The writer of the text seems to        ．
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem．

SHANGHAI---The Huachen Group，which has put 83 million yuan in the development of the commerce market since its official registration late last year，recently held a meeting in Shanghai to show the use of its newly opened tourism business payment network．The network aims to serve tourists from all over the world，but especially from Europe and the United States where credit cards are popularly used．After opening the www．ehinaeonet．com website，netizens can get information about hotels and tourism services on tourism page．Hotels and services can be reserved and payment made through credit cards．The network opened in February in Beijing．
SYDNEY---The Sydney Olympic flame will travel underwater on Australia's Great Barrier Reef during the torch relay following a successful test．
Scuba diver Wendy Craig，a marine biologist，will carry the torch on three-to-four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27，creating Olympic history，organizers said yesterday．
Burning at 2，000 degrees，the torch is expected to remain alight three meters underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a "fierce flame"--- too powerful to be drowned out by water．Charles Tegner，managing director of torch creator，said the flame would burn like a flame from oxygen-producing chemicals．
BEIJING---The election of a new leader in Taiwan cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China． "Taiwan Independence" in whatever form will never be allowed，according to a statesman of China's central government．
"We should listen to what the new leader in Taiwan says and watch what he does．We will observe where he will lead Cross-Straits relations．We are willing to exchange views on Cross-Straits relations and peaceful reunification（统一） with all parties，organizations and people in Taiwan who favor the one-China principle，" says the statesman，from Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee．
HAIKOU---Customs officers in Haikou，capital of South China's Hainan Province，recently stopped a boat loaded with 781 cases of foreign-brand cigarettes being smuggling into China．The cigarettes are estimated to be worth more than 1.8 million yuan，said a customs officer．They discovered the smuggling boat as they were going around the northern sea area of Yangpu Port．
The smuggled cigarettes cases，packed into two containers，were disguised to avoid being examined．The boat was registered in the coastal city Xiamen in East China's Fujian Province．All eight suspects aboard the boat were kept by the police in Haikou．

（1）Why does the network aim to serve tourists especially from Europe and the USA？
A．Because they are from developed countries．

215147. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期中） Like most people，I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting．It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery：giving away makes life much more exciting．You need not worry if you lack money．
This is how I experimented with giving away．If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me，I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper．One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back，though the return often comes in an unexpected form．
One Sunday morning，the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my office．I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation．More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting．I was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list．As I was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorway．He had overheard（无意中听到）our conversation．"Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？"I said yes．"Well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you．You don't know what a letter like that means to us．We usually get nothing but complaints．"
（1）From the passage，we understand that       ．
A．the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties
B．the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers
C．the author received the same education as most people during his childhood

（2）The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper       ．

215027. （2017•长安区一中•高二下期中） How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change color to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimps．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000 shrimps!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．

In the past seven years，Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime；many had been collected in her book"A Small Corner of Hell：reports from Chechnya．"Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield，and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery，and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians-and almost no other reporters-cared to think about．

214701. （2017•西安中学•高三上期中） Every day we are exposed to images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aura（l听觉的）hyper-stimulation（过度刺激），the medium of radio is making a great comeback．
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster（播客）．
Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast．These statistics，released by Edison Research，show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast"was invented in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast sales have jumped．
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities（功能）．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTurns．"I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said，"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts，but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，majoring in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're listening，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．

205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report
C．An experiment report
D．An exploration review

205979. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

205999. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．
When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print．The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation．Many more newspapers were started，representing all kinds of political opinions，and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs．Growth continued in every state．By 1814 there were 346 newspapers．
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker．It had to be paid in full and in advance．This cheap，interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading，which is now taken for granted．
（1）The main force to affect public opinion in America for America's independence was        ．

C．Because it published a large number of newspapers．
D．Because never before was one newspaper published．
（3）Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published？        ．
A．Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time．
B．Because only the British Library had the right to publish it．
