202006. （2023•昆仑中学•二模） The classic 1951 science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"features a frightening robot（Gort） whose threatening actions are under control only when he is commanded，"Klaatubaradanikto".What does this mean？I don't know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.
   I teach at a university.One of the"problems"is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn't an issue，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.
   Let me illustrate：Recently，when I walked into my class，my students were chatting happily with each other.One of their comments caught my ear："Venmo it to me."I had no idea what "Venmo"meant，so I asked.The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me，and in return I nodded with an expression of silly embarrassment，as if I should have known better..
   I went home that evening，absorbed in that moment of non-comprehension.I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five-year nap，I'd have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn't understand the language.
   Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort，and I congratulate myself on at least having the desire to know what they're talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
   But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon？The answer，to me，is clear：Klaatubaradanikto.

（1）What did the author probably meet with？
A．Hearing loss.
B．Cultural shock.
C．A language barrier.
D．A frightening robot.
（2）What makes the author fall behind in language？
A．Learning needs.
B．Age difference.
C．Teaching loads.
D．Language abuse.
（3）What does the author think of language change？
A．It is entirely avoidable.

C．It is very beneficial.
D．It is much too rapid.
（4）What does the underlined word"wanes"mean in the last paragraph？
A．Lessens.
B．Grows.
C．Happens.

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据文章第一段I don't know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused（谈及自己经常不懂学生说的话。）及第三段中的举例One of their comments caught my ear："Venmo it to me."I had no idea what "Venmo"meant，so I asked.（他们的一条评论吸引了我的注意： " Venmo it to me."我不知道" Venmo"是什么意思，所以我问道。说自己不懂学生的谈话Venmo it to me ）可知，作者遇到了语言障碍。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据文章第二段Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn't an issue，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.（早些时候，当我二三十岁的时候，这并不是一个问题，因为我们的年龄足够接近，可以说同一种语言。但是最近我很清楚地意识到，一艘语言之船似乎已经起航了，而我却不在船上。）可知，自己语言障碍的原因是和学生的年龄差越来越大。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five﹣year nap，I'd have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn't understand the language.（但我对变化感到不舒服，因为它的步伐让我紧抓不放。如果我从五年的午睡中醒来，我根本不知道人们在说什么，我只是听不懂他们的语言。）可知，作者认为语言变化太快了。故选D。
（4）词义猜测题。根据上文I congratulate myself on at least having the desire to know what they're talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.（我庆幸自己至少有渴望知道他们在说什么，也庆幸自己有能力（在大多数情况下）理解他们的解释。）及But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon该句中的But可知，该词意思为"减退（wanes）"。A.Lessens减轻，减退；B.Grows成长；C.Happens发生；D.Maintains维持。故选A。

212588. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中）     Sitting in the garden for my friend's birthday.I felt a buzz（振动） in my pocket.My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name.The email started off："Dear Mr Green，thank you for your interest" and "the review process took longer than expected."It ended with"We are sorry to inform you…"and my vision blurred（模糊）.The position-measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme-had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying，and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
   So I waocked when，not long after the email，Professor Mary Devon，who was running the programme，invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance，and a few weeks later I was equally shocked-and overjoyed-when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to，but I was going to give it my all.
   I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely.That project，which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert，not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end.I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
   When I applied to graduate school，I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction.And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before.When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit，it was undoubtedly difficult.But this time I had the perspective（视角）to keep it from sending me into panic.It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
   Rather than setting plans in stone，I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered，even if they don't sound perfect at the time，and make the most of them.

（1）How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender's name？
A．Anxious.
B．Angry.
C．Surprised.
D．Settled.
（2）After talking with Professor Devon，the author decided to        .
A．criticise the review process
B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C．apply to the original project again
D．put his heart and soul into the lab work
（3）According to the author，the project with the robotics professor was        .
A．demanding
B．inspiring
C．misleading
D．amusing
（4）What can we learn from this passage？
A．An invitation is a reputation.
B．An innovation is a resolution.
C．A rejection can be a redirection.
D．A reflection can be a restriction.

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
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
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

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.
   "It's a brand-new science，and China is trying to take the lead，" said Neill Ricketts，chief executive at Versarien，a UK-based advanced material company.

（1）How does the artificial throat give those who are speaking impaired the ability to speak？
A．It makes their throat vibrate.
B．It transforms vibrations into readable words.
C．It detects sounds normal people cannot hear.
D．It makes sounds based on the vibrations it detects.
（2）What do the speaking impaired people need to do to use the device？
A．Identify frequencies of different sounds.
B．Arrange the words into sentences.
C．Memorize their sound groups.
D．Type the words with the device.
（3）What do we know about graphene？
A．It is widely used in groundbreaking innovations.
B．It is the thinnest and strongest material ever found.
C．It can improve the efficiency of heat and electricity.
D．It weighs less than any other material.
（4）What is the second to last paragraph mainly about？
A．Graphene's potential widespread use in China.
B．Development of technology using graphene.
C．Graphene-related patents in China.
D．China's leading role in graphene production.

212590. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中） An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle，a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
   Salah Sukkarieh，a professor at the University of Sydney，sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape，color and texture （质地）of grass.That way，cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
   Machines have largely taken over planting，watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat，but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
   For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds，it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds，who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago，still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
   Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris，vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association，said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen，making them appealing targets.

（1）What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？
A．Soil pollution.
B．Lack of workers.
C．Aging machines.
D．Low profitability.
（2）What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？
A．Monitor the quality of grass.
B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Move cattle to another field.
D．Predict weather changes.
（3）Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle？
A．He wants to help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can do the job better.
C．He is inexperienced in using robots.
D．He enjoys the traditional way of life.
（4）How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？
A．Increase the value of cattle.
B．Bring down the cost of labor.
C．Make the job more appealing.
D．Keep cattle from being stolen.

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．

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.
   I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman.It happened to Mrs.Wilson next door.Old Mr.Wilson couldn't put in his own false teeth without his wife's assistance，let alone make himself lunch.It was a miserable union.I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her.I adopted the motto：Don't help those who won't help themselves.
   I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone.I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do，only to be asked back.He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question.Fortunately，I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.
   I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot.I took two cups and made two cups of coffee.Then I walked into the boss' office with a cup of coffee in each hand.I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.
   "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.
   When I finally left my boss' office，I hid in the bathroom and called my dad.My father's laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.

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.

   In September 2001，Professor?Richard?Wiseman?and?the?British?Association for?the?Advancement?of?Science created?a?project?called?LaughLab in?order?to?find?the?world's?funniest?joke.And in one year，LaughLab?received?more?than?40，000?jokes.The?following?joke?is?considered the world's funniest joke by LaughLab：
   "Two hunters are out?in?the?woods when?one?of?them?falls?down.He doesn't seem to be breathing.The other man?calls?the?emergency?services.He?says， 'My?friend?is?dead!What?can?I?do？' The operator says， 'Calm down.I can help.First，let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence，and then a shot is heard.Back on the phone，the guy says， 'OK，now what？'"
   If you decide you must share a joke or two in another country，ask the opinion of your interpreter first.Otherwise，the?joke?may?be?on?you.
