202367. （2021•西安中学•四模） Learning to say "yes，and"
When I first heard about the improvisation （即兴交流） class，I was hesitating.As a quiet and shy girl，I feared improvising in front of strangers.However，I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D.，so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively.I signed up，knowing the experience would give me help.
   During our first class，we learned an important concept of improvisation："yes，and." It means that，as improvisers，we'd better accept what fellow performers say.If someone says that rhinos（犀牛）are librarians，for example，then rhinos are librarians.We do not question the logic；we say "yes" and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
   The first few scenes were hard，but as weeks turned into months，I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes.I became better at listening，relating to my conversation partners，and communicating clearly in the moment.Once when I was giving a presentation about my science，an audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I'd presented.Instead of getting confused and nervous，I took the "yes，and" approach-accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked.That helped me find an appropriate answer.I got pretty excited about it.
   The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication.Before attending the class，I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data，thinking that I had made a mistake.But now，instead of getting discouraged，I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real，keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell-one that isn't behaving as expected.
   I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.If the data say rhinos are librarians，then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are，in fact，librarians.As scientists，our job isn't to challenge data that support a preconceived （先入为主的）story，but to say "yes，and."

（1）Why did the author attend the improvisation class？
A．To get a different experience.
B．To finish her Ph.D.at university.
C．To give up her job as a science communicator.
D．To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
（2）What was the author's change after attending the improvisation class？
A．She formed her own idea quickly.
B．She came up with lots of creative responses.
C．She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D．She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
（3）The author mentions applying the "yes，and" approach to her scientific experiments to        .
A．explain the process of using the method
B．prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C．share her own research experiences with readers
D．attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
（4）What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph？
A．They should attend the improvisation class.
B．They should question all preconceived ideas.
C．They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D．They should try to improve their professional knowledge.

[解析]

（1）D.细节理解题。根据第一段中"As a quiet and shy girl，I feared improvising in front of strangers.However，I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D.，so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively.I signed up，knowing the experience would give me help.作为一个安静害羞的女孩，我害怕在陌生人面前即兴发挥。然而，我知道我想在完成博士学位后，成为一名科学传播者，所以这似乎是一个学习如何有效地与他人交流和沟通的绝佳机会。我报了名，因为我知道这种经历会给我帮助。"由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课是为了提高她的开口说话的沟通能力。故选D.
（2）D.细节理解题。根据第三段中"The first few scenes were hard，but as weeks turned into months，I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes.I became better at listening，relating to my conversation partners，and communicating clearly in the moment.开始的几场戏很难，但是几周变成了几个月，我变得更加舒服，甚至开始享受我们的课程。我变得更善于倾听，更善于与我的谈话伙伴交流，更善于在那一刻清晰地沟通。"由此可知，作者参加了即兴交流课之后所发生的变化是她在发表意见之前，先成为了一个好的倾听者。故选D.
（3）B.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication.Before attending the class，I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data，thinking that I had made a mistake.But now，instead of getting discouraged，I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real，keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell﹣one that isn't behaving as expected.即兴表演的好处不仅仅是沟通。在上课之前，当我的实验产生了意想不到的数据时，我会陷入困境，认为我犯了个错误。但是现在，我不会灰心丧气，我会接受结果是真实的这种可能性，继续探索数据，最终发现一种新的细胞，它的行为不像预期的那样。"由此可推知，作者提到在她的科学实验中运用"yes，and"的方法，是为了证明即兴交流课的好处。故选B.
（4）C.推理判断题。根据最后一段"I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.If the data say rhinos are librarians，then it's worth finding out whether rhinos are，in fact，librarians.As scientists，our job isn't to challenge data that support a preconceived （先入为主的）story，but to say "yes，and."我想所有的科学家都能从中受益。如果数据显示犀牛是图书管理员，那么很有必要弄清犀牛是否真的是图书管理员。作为科学家，我们的工作不是质疑那些支持预设故事的数据，而是说"是的，而且。"由此可推知，科学家应该通过承认早期数据来进行研究。故选C.

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.

204240. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） When he tells people that he is deaf，Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption，" the sophomore（大二学生）said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face - things commonly found right in Rochester.This city is home to 90，000 deaf people，a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national population.The percentage of deal people here is higher than the national average t due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf，the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing. "Really，there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people，" said sophomore Stephen Davis，another deaf student.This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying 'deaf' is offensive，but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it，" Davis said.He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations（令人心烦的事）on their end when interacting with others. "Sometimes people talk about you，maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me，as if I'm not there，" Davis said. "That's depressing." As Davis put it， "We don't see ourselves as the disabled，so the awkwardness is only one-sided."
Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability.If you have a question，ask.A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.

（1）Why are there more deaf people in Rochester？
A．Deaf people have some privileges here.
B．Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.
C．Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.
D．A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.
（2）What may embarrass people when communicating with the deaf according to Davis？
A．They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.
B．They are unwilling to communicate.

D．They don't challenge enough assumptions.
（3）What kind of person is Stephen Davis？
A．Sensitive and talkative.
B．Reasonable and reliable.
C．Confident and intelligent.
D．Outspoken and aggressive.
（4）What can be the best title of the text？
A．We can hear your heart
B． "Deaf" is not a bad word
C．Deaf people are not liars
D．Embarrassment is one-sided

204903. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末） A mild-mannered cat by day，at night Rusty was just the opposite.Often，Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
So，instead，we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do.And always in the morning，if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard，there were marks from a rough，little tongue and once even a paw print.
   Something had to give.Bill looked at me straight in the eyes， " Do it." My reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.
   That night，I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head.Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water.Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor.According to the article I saved from a website to my folder，cats used to jumping into your sink，but they won't do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
   Next，I cleared the cupboards of everything.Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each.According to the article，you should support a cookie sheet with a fork.When your cat jumps on the counter，he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets.What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
   Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise of metal.A chain reaction of crashes next.Finally，Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed，trembling under our cover.And that was the night Rusty，the Midnight Troublemaker，retired.

   The woman has since come to the restaurant every Friday，and after several months，her condition has improved.
   "She started to comment that the food was 'delicious' and speak with others.Moreover，she began to hug me every time，" Zhu said.

204827. （2022•长安区一中•高一下期末） We've all heard the stories of an actor's struggles before a career breakthrough：living a hard life，working part time，being a couch potato before getting that major role.Shelby，the star of "A Dog's Way Home，" has a hardluck tale that could top them all.Before her big break，she was living in a landfill，rooting through garbage for her next meal.
   Shelby's big break came in April 2017，when animal control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County，Tennessee.Out on an unrelated call，Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump."I knelt down and just said， 'Oh，come here，baby，'" said Buhler."She was so scared，but she came right up to me，and I was able to put her in my truck." The pair headed to the county animal shelter，where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.

   Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby's performance.Variety made the comments "an amazing dog，perfect performance"！

204373. （2023•铁一中学•高三上期末） On April 30，2020，the world's most famous musicians met online to celebrate the tenth International Jazz Day，with the hope to revive jazz music and explore its possibility as aunifying voice across cultures.
   Despite the celebrations，though，the jazz audience continues to grow older because the music has failed to attract the younger generations.It's their job to help change that.
   Jason Moran，the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz，was one of the musicians.He hopes to widen the audience for jazz and make the music more accessible and enjoyable.
   "Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite（胃口）." Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. "I hope that the younger generations understand that jazz is not black anymore.It's actually colorful，and it's actually digital."
   Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the fun side of the music has been lost. "Today，the music can't be presented the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move，because the way the world works is not the same. "says Moran.
   Last year，Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party. "I just wanted to put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music." says Moran. "For me，it's just to re-contextualize.Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context.It can be adapted to（适应）different situations. "
   During the interview，he asked，"In music，where does the feeling lie？Are we，as humans，gaining any insight（感悟）on how to talk about ourselves and how a Fats Waller record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts？"
   He added that most of the musicians have recognized the need and agreed to continue those dialogues for the year.

（1）Why did the musicians meet online on April 30？
A．To celebrate the Jazz Day.
B．To show the value of jazz.
C．To remember the birth of jazz.
D．To protect different jazz cultures.
（2）What does the underlined word "re-contextualize" in paragraph 6 mean？
A．To mix jazz with other music.
B．To adapt to different situations.
C．To be performed by different bands.
D．To play with more advanced instruments.
（3）What does Moran think of jazz？
A．It will disappear gradually.
B．It should be black and white.
C．It has to keep up with the times.
D．It has become more popular.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．The Rise and Fall of Jazz
B．Goals Set for Jazz Day 2020
C．The Story of a Jazz Musician
D．The New Problems With Jazz

203638. （2025•西安八十五中•高二上期末） I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet，I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
    Last May，I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history，migrations，and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao（the Southern Silk Road），the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake，the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
    I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28，2021，we set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.We woke up at sunrise，set off in high spirits，and rested at sunset，dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
    We met many people on the road.Some were curious，surrounding us and watching us；some gave us directions；some invited us into their home to take a rest；some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls，simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
    Together，we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains，I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
    Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul，I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake，while healthy and admirable，is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us，shortening the distance between each other，and sharing each other's cultures.
