202099. （2022•西安中学•七模） My color television has given me nothing but a headache．I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model．I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid．The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night．Fortunately，I didn't got any channelowing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．
   Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static （静电） noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscleaking my set．
   When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me ＄62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．

203265. （2016•西工大附中•六模） Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another．Choice，we are given to believe，is a right．But for a good many people in the world．In rich and poor countries，choice is a luxury，something wonderful but hard to get，not a right．And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices，the whole system is merely an illusion，a false idea created by companies and advertiser，hoping to sell their products．
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives．Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple．Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people，ending in the shopper giving up and walking away，or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted．Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed．More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals，lifestyle instructors，or advisors．
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem，but the speed with which new types of products come on the market．Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time．The typical example is computers，which are almost out-of-date once they are bought．This indeed makes selection a problem．Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing；no choice，no anxiety．
（1）What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1？
A．The exercise of rights is a luxury．
B．The practice of choice is difficult．
C．The right of choice is given but at a price．
D．Choice and right exist at the same time．
（2）Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety？
A．Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product．
B．People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion．
C．Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items．
D．Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice．
（3）By using computers as an example，the author wants to prove that        ．
A．advanced products meet the needs of people
B．products of the latest design fold the market
C．competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D．everyday goods need to be replaced often
（4）What is this passage mainly about？
A．The variety of choices in modern society．
B．The opinions on people's right in different countries．
C．The problems about the availability of everyday goods．
D．The helplessness in purchasing decisions．

205897. （2017•西安中学•高一上期末） When I recently told my friends，colleagues，and family members that I would be moving my family to Israel，the reactions were numerous and different．Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked：Why now？What will you do？
   For me，making the move to Israel is the realization of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life．I have always known that Israel is my home．Over the years Israel has been in my heart，but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence（永久定居地）：kids，the economy（经济），education…You name an excuse，and at some point I have probably used it．

   I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel．Before I answer，I remember that we have overcome the Greeks，the Romans，the Russian killings，Hitler and the Holocaust（大屠杀），and the armies of seven countries．How can I not feel confident that I，and my family，will overcome any difficulties that may come our way？I am not worrying，complaining，crying，or fearing as I prepare to move．I am proud and excited to say that I am realizing a 47-year-old dream．I am going home．

205822. （2017•西安中学•高二下期末） On June 10，2003，I graduated from U of T，Scarborough．As I stood at University College waiting with hundreds of others，I suddenly felt overcome with emotion．My very long and personal journey to convocation had started 20 years earlier on the St．George campus．
I first enrolled at U of T through the Transitional Year Programme in 1983．At the time I was a 30-year-old mother of two girls and married to"the boy next door．"I was both excited and terrified，and felt a little like Rita in the movie Educating Rita-traveling daily to classes in high heels．I decided that it would be better for my family if I attended classes closer to home，so I transferred to Scarborough for my second year．After picking up the girls from school，I'd bring them back to the studio where I rehearsed．Much to my horror，they would crawl around on the catwalks high above me．They were 10 and 12 and loved being at"Mom's school．"
My life changed drastically that year．On June 10，1986，my husband of 13 years was killed in a horrific accident．I picked up my life the best I could under the circumstances and returned to U of T，but failed to get all the credits I needed．Twenty years later，on the eve of my 50th birthday，I e-mailed an old professor，who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre．This time I made it all the way through．
As I stepped inside Convocation Hall，I searched the crowd for my girls，now in their thirties．They were in the highest balcony，waving frantically at me-just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago．I will never forget the look on the girls faces as they called out"Hi Mom．"I finally felt complete．

205805. （2017•西北大附中•高二下期末） I had often dreamt of the possibility of spending a year away from my hometown of Leeds in England，living in a foreign country．By the time I was old enough，however，I thought that my language was going to hold me back．
However，luckily for me，Leeds University，where I was studying at the time，made it possible for any student，even people like myself speaking only one language，to study abroad．Before I knew it I was boarding a plane for Salzburg，Austria．I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the experience ahead of me but I was prepared to accept the challenge．
The university was quite small but the classes were large．Also，Austrian students usually take five years to complete their courses，so studying was somewhat more relaxed than at home．Austrian students go home quite often，too．Therefore，the foreign students had to socialise with each other quite a lot，which didn't help our language skills．
Salzburg itself is a picture-postcard Austrian city．It is also famous for being the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music．As a result，it is usually very busy with tourists．I also found that it doesn't have a lot going on for young people，in comparison to Leeds．
There were，however，many advantages to living in Salzburg．For example，get on a train and you can be in Prague，Rome or Krakow within a matter of hours．By the end of my year in Salzburg，I had visited eight other countries in Europe．
After spending a year overseas，I went back to my course in Leeds much more focused on what I wanted to get out of my last year and more appreciative of the opportunities （机会） university provides．The year in Salzburg really showed me that you get a lot more out of a place when you live there compared to when you are just travelling through．I'd recommend all students to spend a year studying abroad if they can．

（1）In the author's opinion，what may have prevented his studying abroad？
A．His not being old enough．
B．His fearing the culture shock．
C．His becoming homesick easily．
D．His not knowing a foreign language．
（2）Compared with Leeds University，the university in Salzburg       ．
A．provides more social events
B．has longer university years
C．has more foreign students
D．offers more small classes
（3）One advantage the author mentions about Salzburg is that       ．
A．it's a good location for travelling
B．it has a high-speed rail network
C．it's the hometown of Mozart
D．it's full of foreign tourists
（4）What does the author think of his experience of studying abroad？
A．He benefited a lot from it．
B．He regretted studying abroad．
C．It was far from what he expected．
D．It badly affected his studies at home．

205788. （2017•西北大附中•高一下期末） If you live in a big city，there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route，and it's not just overcrowded subway trains．
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong．For her，one thing she can't put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯） in subway stations．"Escalators help us move faster and save time．It isn't a place to rest，"the 24-year-old says．"I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours．It annoys me to no end．"
Admitting she is not the patient type，Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where"stand right，walk left"signs are often ignored．
The logic behind the"stand right，walk left"escalator etiquette（礼仪） seems obvious．Even though you may want to catch your breath while you're transported up or down，you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry，so that they can run and catch the train．
Many cities' escalators，including London's and Beijing's，use the"stand right，walk left"system to speed up the flow of people．（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead．） But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons．In Hong Kong's subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to"stand still"on escalators．Even so，most people in this fast-paced city observe the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient．The BBC quotes one stander as saying："If the person is in such a rush，why not just take the stairs？Even when the escalator is packed and there's nowhere to move，I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass．"
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit，do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others：leave enough space between each other，don't stay at the end of the escalator，and if someone is blocking your way，a simple"excuse me"is enough．

（1）When on the escalator，a majority of local people in Hong Kong        ．
A．stand still as the railway stations require．
B．ignore the"stand right，walk left"signs
C．use the stairs instead of escalators．
D．follow the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
（2）What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph？
A．Not everyone follows the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
B．The BBC is against the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
C．People should be patient and take the stairs if possible．
D．People shouldn't complain about the crowded escalators．
（3）Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion？
A．People should stand right no matter where they are．
B．People should do as the Romans do and consider others．
C．People should do as they like on the escalators．
D．People should be seriously criticized when they block the way．

205770. （2018•西安一中•高二上期末） I am Henry Jekyll．I was born in the 1800s．I inherited（继承） a large fortune，a healthy body and an excellent mind．I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job．So the outside world saw a serious，hard-working，successful doctor．Behind this quiet character，however，was a wild，fun-loving，irresponsible young man．Both of them were me．They lived together in the same body．
"Was it possible，" I wondered， "to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body？"
After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer．I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory，searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug．At last I got everything ready．
Late one night，I mixed everything together and prepared my drug．I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green．Then，bravely，I drank every bitter drop．
I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones．The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear．Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange，sweet feeling took its place．Wild thoughts danced through my mind-the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger．But inside myself I felt younger，lighter，more carefree than ever before． "If this is pure evil，" I thought， "I like it．"
I stood there，enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I waorter．So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there．As I came into my room，I saw Edward Hyde for the first time．
At that time，the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side．Henry Jekyll had his faults，but he was mostly a good，kind man．I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll．But that was not the only difference between the two men．Henry Jekyll had a kind，open，honest face．But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde's eyes．I felt no dislike，however．Indeed，I welcomed him．Edward Hyde was me，young and strong and full of life．

（1）The writer wanted to find a drug to ．
A．discover the right mixture of chemicals
B．create separate bodies for both sides
C．observe the change of the chemicals
D．make himself smaller but stronger
（2）From the passage we can learn that the writer ．
A．felt quite delighted right after taking the drug
B．preferred kind Henry to pure evil Edward
C．was very sick of the shorter Edward Hyde
D．was satisfied with both of his bodies

The hotel was far from the train station，so I'd best take a taxi，at＄25．On the way to the Holiday Inn，we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of ＄104．At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot． "No，this is a 4-star hotel，"the waiter told me． "In that case，" I replied， "I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel．"But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room，it might not be available if I came back．Finally，I decided to take the room．
The room itself was big，but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat．I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am．

205724. （2018•西安中学•高二上期末） Stopping by woods on a snowy evening
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know，
His house is in the village though．
He will not see me stopping here，
To watch his woods fill up with snow．

My little horse must think it queer （奇怪的），
To stop without a farmhouse near，
Between the woods and frozen lake，
The darkest evening of the year．

He gives his harness （马具） bells a shake，
To ask if there is some mistake．
The only other sound's the sweep，
Of easy wind and downy flake （鹅毛般的雪花）．

The woods are lovely，dark and deep，
But I have promises to keep，
And miles to go before I sleep，
And miles to go before I sleep．
Robert Frost （1874-1963）is one of the most popular of all American poets．Like Walt Whitman，another famous American poet，he wanted his poetry to be read and understood by the "common man"．Frost wrote about farm and country life in early America，and his poems celebrate both the powerful force of nature and the strength and importance of human actions and choices．

203438. （2015•师大附中•一模） My grandmother was from a town in Michigan．Summer after summer，I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child．I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in．People knew everyone，their kids，their pets，their ancestors．The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older．Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting．She would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties．She'd make beautiful quilts for each one．I remember the small thimble （顶针） she would use while doing her needle work．
   A few years ago，when Grandma left this earth，I bid farewell to a loving grandmother．How quickly our lives can change．We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier，on her 91st birthday．
   I missed her very much．On one particular birthday，when I was feeling a little low，something happened to make me feel like she waaring that special day with me．I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made，and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow．It was small and hard．I moved the object to a seam （接缝） that I carefully opened，and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her．Not realizing it had fallen off her finger，I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day．I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I've collected over the years，where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me．What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow，I knew，was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow．

203379. （2016•西工大附中•四模） "People are ruder today because they are rushed and more'time poor' than ever before，"says Patsy Rowe，"Manners have fallen off the radar（雷达）．"Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise．Here are some examples of rudeness．
   Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet．To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward．It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4 G speeds．When you have dinner with friends，you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone．We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news，so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with．What is worse，some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email．
   However，rudeness is never acceptable．Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you．If you have something awful to say，have the courage to face the person and say it，write a letter or email and sign it，or forget it．Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting．
   We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings．Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives．An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings．People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them．

（1）What can be infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1？
A．People can tell good from bad behavior．
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior．
C．Radar can be used to predict human behavior．
D．People care little about their behavior．
（2）Some people are less willing to deal with humans because        ．
A．they are growing too independent
B．they are becoming less patient
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward．
（3）The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is        ．
A．ridiculous
B．acceptable
C．disgusting
D．reasonable
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．Technology will take over lives one day．
B．Technology can never be blamed
C．We should keep pointing out mistakes．
D．We should applaud good behavior．

203282. （2016•华清中学•二模） They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon：on foot，on mules（骡子）or by air．We chose the first．Up early，my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started．We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail．
As we set out，I waocked at how narrow the path was．And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us．They had heavy backpacks，water bottles，and hats．But as usual we were dressed．As the sun rose higher，Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast （烘烤） us．There was no shade and our legs were aching．We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind．By the time we finally got back，our legs were like jelly．
The next day，after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast，we were ready for another view of Canyon-by air．After our last walk，this would be the easiest thing in the world．
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon．But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed（翻转）the plane around，pretending he was going to hit the ground．I shouted，"STOP，TAKE US BACK!"When we finally arrived back on land，once again our legs were like jelly．We hardly spoke as we drove back．
As I said，there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon．We never tried the mules，but personally I'd suggest a fourth：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic．That way，you can see the Canyon，without fear or tiredness．

（1）Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph？
A．They made a careful preparation before the trip．
B．The children were more joyful than their parents．

（2）The underline expression"our legs were like jelly"probably means        ．

D．we were disappointed
（3）Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air？
A．It proved to be frightening．
B．It was more comfortable．
