202005. (2023•昆仑中学•二模) I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on:a place to feel grounded.I also needed to do laundry,so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes.As I struggled to close the washer door,the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand.The washer did its job,yet even after an hour,the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I left,having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
   A month later,I learned her name was Sandy,which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next week,Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
   It went on like this.I'd do laundry once a week,usually Thursday or Friday.Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes.She told me about her son and his grades,as well as the new dog they'd just adopted.She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased(开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.
   I began to recognize others there:workers taking breaks by the door,a mother and her baby,and even some delivery drivers.But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every week,I'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each other,expecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.There was a note of concern for the other's absence,a note of joy at their return.
   I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.

A.He liked the August heat better.

1)细节理解题。根据文章第一段The washer did its jobyet even after an hourthe dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I lefthaving decided to airdry them on my car in the August heat.(洗衣机完成了它的工作,然而即使过了一个小时,干衣机似乎也没有把我的衣服加热。我离开了,决定在八月的炎热中在车上自然风干。)可知,作者之所以拿着湿衣服离开是因为烘干机没用。故选D
2)推理判断题。根据文章第二段A month laterI learned her name was Sandywhich she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next weekSandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.(一个月后,我才知道她的名字叫Sandy,是在我帮她阻止一台洗衣机在地板上移动后,她告诉我的。当时我正在桌子旁批改诗歌,突然一个洗衣机松开了,飞到空中一英寸。我跳到洗衣机前,抓住不放,她拔下插头。第二个星期,Sandy告诉我8号烘干机是最快的。)可知,Sandy告诉作者8号烘干机最快是因为她想对作者表达感谢。故选C
3)推理判断题。根据文章第三段She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased(开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.(她开玩笑说,当诗人比当洗衣工更难谋生。即使那时我也知道她可能是对的。)可知,Sandy认为诗人的待遇太差。故选C
4)推理判断题。根据文章第四段But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every weekI'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each otherexpecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.(但Sandy是我生活的中心。在将近三年的时间里,几乎每个星期,我都会一边洗衣服一边和她聊天。我们互相查看对方在不在,并期望对方在那里。当我们错过一个星期的时候,我们会问对方去了哪里。)可知,作者和Sandy之间建立了亲密的友谊。故选A

213629. (2023•蓝田县•高二下期中) An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight.But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there,and I am proud to be the one to hold it.About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard,and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer.But after a page or two I found myself reading,really reading.Here was-here is-a masterpiece in which every sentence counts,a book packed with significant thought and beautiful,arresting phrases,the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist.
   To appreciate the rich variety of Mr.Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry.But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his power.Here are combined and blended(混合的) sort of "realism" and almost lyric(抒情的) imagery and rhythm.The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents;they fall in love,marry,work,fail,succeed,and die.But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars,Mr.Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose(散文) without violating its proper "other harmony."
   Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers (Mr.Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first):
   Where was he?One tiny upright speck of flesh,less than an ear of wheat lost in the field.He could not bear it.On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him,so tiny a spark,into extinction,and yet,almost nothing,he could not be extinct.Night,in which everything was lost,went reaching out,beyond stars and sun,stars and sun,a few bright grains,went spinning round for terror,and holding each other in embrace,there in the darkness that outpassed them all,and left them tiny and daunted(气馁).So much,and himself,infinitesimal,at the core a nothingness,and yet not nothing.
   Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story.I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you.Some are enthusiastic and impressive,like the paragraph above;others are keen, "realistic" observations of things and people.In one of his books Mr.Lawrence makes a character say,or think,that life is "mixed." That indicates his philosophy and his method.He blends the accurately literal and trivial(琐碎的) with the extremely poetic.
   To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision,we must go back to two older novelists,Hardy and Meredith.I do not mean that Mr.Lawrence derives(源于) immediately from them or,indeed,that he is clearly the disciple(弟子) of any master.I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature(名望) of Hardy and Meredith,and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company.When I first tried to express this comparison,this connection,I was contradicted by a fellow-critic,who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr.Lawrence cannot resemble both.To be sure,nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons,nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another.An artist's mastery consists in his difference from other masters.But to refer a young man of genius to an older one,at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality,is a fair,if not very superior,method of praising him.

(1)The underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        
A.meaningful
B.unnecessary
C.fundamental
D.unbelievable
(2)What does the author want to illustrate by including one paragraph from Sons and Lovers?        
A.The plot of the novel has little to do with daily life.
B.It is wise to read Lawrence's books from the end.
C.Lawrence is capable of telling good stories.
D.The language in Lawrence's books is elegant.
(3)Who were Hardy and Meredith?        
A.They taught Lawrence literature when he was young.
B.They were the realistic novelists of Lawrence's time.
C.They were novelists who resemble each other in writing.
D.They were novelists combining details with imagination.
(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?        
A.To introduce Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers.
B.To show his experiences of reading classics.
C.To analyze Lawrence's writing characteristics.

213714. (2022•高新一中•高二上期中) "Meet me in the conference room with the contracts and a cup of coffee," my boss barked at me. "Ten minutes."
   I didn't respond.I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor.I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone,supervisor or not.

   "Let's take a break," partway through the meeting,my boss stood,saying. "I need more coffee." I picked up my empty cup. "I do,too," I said,and handed it to him across the table. "Thanks," I added,looking at him expectantly.The boss was staggered for a moment,and then took the cup from me.

213867. (2021•西安中学•高三上期中) I was in Houston a few weeks ago,and needed to be back home in Austin by midmorning the next day.Though I usually left in the evening,for some reason last time I had to choose to set off after midnight.
   I was on my way back to Austin when I realized I left an important file,and knew I had to return to get it.I took the first exit I could,but when I rounded the corner,an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane.I swerved to avoid it,and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car.So I pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3:15 am.I've lived in urban areas most of my life.I'm fairly street-wise and don't become frightened easily,but I knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood.
   There was no one in Houston to pick me up.I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck.Soon a young man knocked on my driver's side window and asked if he could help me.Judging from his appearance,he was far from a mad man,but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me.So I lied to him.After a while,he asked again,but this time I politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute.He finally said, "Madam,you need help.A tow truck in Houston will arrive anywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never (which I knew was true),and you aren't going anywhere until you change your flat tire."
   After considering thoroughly,I got out.He looked surprised,but got right to work.He changed the tire,returned the seat to its place and said, "Thank you for letting me help you.You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me.Would it be okay if I gave you a hug?" When I recovered,I gave him a giant hug.I left with a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature.

(1)What's the matter with the author's car?

A.Because she thought the man was playing jokes.
B.Because she thought the man might be a bad man.
C.Because she thought the man wanted to get a lift.
D.Because she thought the man was a mad man.
(3)Which of the following can best describe the author?

213869. (2021•西安中学•高三上期中) How wonderful would it be if new technology could help the physically challenged?A smart wearable device that enables people with speaking disabilities to communicate normally is giving hope to those without a voice.
   Tao Luqi,a research fellow at Chongqing University,used a material called graphene to produce an artificial throat with a tiny sensor that allows people with speech impairments to speak normally,according to a paper published in Nature Communications in 2017.Tao has continued his work on the device for the last four years.
   Although it's a tiny mechanical sensor,it can work wonders.The device can detect weak vibrations and can produce sounds across a wide spectrum,from 100 Hz to 40 kHz,China Daily reported.Humans can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
"Although the speaking impaired people can't speak,their throats can vibrate," Tao told The Paper. "If I put a device made of graphene into the throat of a person,it can detect the vibrations and make sounds using electrical signals."
   Even whispers,screams and coughs at different frequencies can be recorded and encoded by the device,and it can arrange them into groups.When the device detects the sounds in a particular group,it will reproduce the words,phrases or sentences,according to Tao.
   "But the speaking impaired people need to classify their own language sounds in groups and memorize them,just like typing keys on a keyboard," Tao said.
   Tao's artificial throat has brought the possibilities of graphene to reality.It's been 17 years since the discovery of graphene,and the world has been waiting for the "wonder material" to provide groundbreaking innovations.At only the width of an atom,graphene is the thinnest material known to humans – and also the strongest.The material is also an efficient conductor of heat and electricity,and is ultra-lightweight,China Daily reported.
   "Graphene really does have fantastic properties and its potential is huge," said Khasha Ghaffarzadeh,a director at UK-based research consultancy IDTechEx.
   China has emerged as a key country for graphene production.Around 3,000 Chinese companies are exploring uses for graphene,according to government statistics in 2018,while half of the world's graphene-related patents have been filed in China,according to China Daily.

   With a nostalgic (怀旧的) look on his face,he softly said: "Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom." The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother,who is sadly no longer with us.

22266. (2016•新课标•ll卷) A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?       
A.They were made last week
B.They showed undersea sceneries

D.Caroline Alexander
35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?

214290. (2020•西安中学•高三上期中) When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March,16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
   But still,the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South,and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
   The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives,but for students,the disruption feels particularly acute.Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled.Summer plans,like camps and internships,are up in the air.
   But right now,many students are trying to stay connected,struggling with misinformation,and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
   For Josh Harycki,17,a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia,the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge" for young people.
   "I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out,hanging out with people.I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks,who were probably not watching the news."
   Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge.The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
   Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way,so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant,they're still connected.
   "Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously,but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.

(1)What do the underlined words "up in the air" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?        
A.unnatural
B.uncertain
C.unnecessary

A.To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B.To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C.To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D.To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
(3)Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?        
A.Friends who are worried and bored.
B.Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C.Younger generations trying to contribute to society.
D.Young people who are not aware of the situation.
(4)What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"?
