202500. （2021•西安中学•一模） The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago.Millions of people worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdown.All public attractions，including museums and aquariums，are closed，and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty.An unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely.
   The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward，two penguins who live at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.A video released on March 15，2020，showed the couple eagerly walked around，exploring the aquarium's various exhibits.The video，which instantly became popular，inspired other institutions to share short videos of their four-legged creatures playing as well.
   The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16，2020，with a "Home Safari" live-stream series - the first starring its adorable baby panda，Fiona. "Let us help make your children's hiatus from school fun and educational." zoo officials announced，"Join us for a Home Safari Online Live each weekday at 3 pm，where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home."
   Meanwhile，the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams（网络摄像头）rolling，allowing fans to enjoy lovable animals without leaving home.Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors.The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari，while groups of wild turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland.
   Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time，the heartwarming videos and imageared on social media，are also bringing much-needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide.Stay strong and healthy!We are all in this together!

202502. （2021•西安中学•一模） Why do you go to the library？For books，yes - but you like books because they tell stories.You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life.At one type of library，you can do just that - even though there's not a single book.
   At a Human Library，instead of books，you can "borrow" people.Individuals volunteer as human "books" and participants in the event can "read" the book - meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual's experience. "Books" are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination based on race，religion，class，gender identity，age，lifestyle choices，disability and other aspects of their life.
   For a certain amount of time，you can ask them questions and listen to their stories，which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book.Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype（模式化形象）.You can speak with a refugee （难民），a soldier suffering from PTSD，a homeless person or a woman living with HIV.The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs - to truly get to know，and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
   According to its website，the Human Library is "a place where difficult questions are expected，appreciated and answered." It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
   The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen，Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel，his brother Dany，and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival，hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth.After the success of this event，Abergel founded the Human Library Organization，which has been growing ever since.
   Though there are a few permanent human libraries，most aren't places at all，but events.Though many do take place at physical libraries，you don't need a library card - anyone can come and be part of the experience.There have been human library events all over the globe，in universities and in pubs，from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
   The stories these "books" tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between.And that's the very point of the organization - to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word.It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover - or by its title or label.

（1）The "books" in human libraries are       .
A．long-held beliefs attracting individuals
B．inspiring stones motivating people in trouble
C．events in which people can talk to volunteers
D．unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences
（2）The event in Copenhagen is significant because it       .
A．aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B．attempted to replace traditional physical libraries
C．laid a foundation for the Human Library Organization
D．led to a pleasing development for the community with racism
（3）In human libraries，the readers are likely to       .
A．deepen their understanding of people
B．enrich their own personal experiences
C．hear the stories from all over the world
D．make quick judgments about the "books"
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to       .
A．compare and evaluate
B．inform and explain
C．discuss and persuade
D．analyze and suggest

204080. （2023•西安中学•高一上期末） If English means endless new words，difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong.Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language？
   According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
   The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from London University，took a group of Britain people who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners.
   Scanowed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference was.
   "Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，" said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
   Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skill. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，" he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."
   The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing and comprehension were all tested.The resultowed that the younger they started to learn，the better. "Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，" explained the scientists.

（1）The main subject talked about in this passage is       .
A．science on learning a second language
B．man's ability of learning a second language
C．language can help brain power
D．language learning and math study
（2）In the second paragraph，the writer mentions "exercise" in order to       .
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
（3）In the last two paragraphs，the author wants to tell us that       .
A．learning a second language is the same as studying math
B．early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects
C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D．we'd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

205256. （2021•阎良区•高一下期末） Plenty of science fiction （sci-fi） movies over the decades have shown us different versions of Mars.The truth about the Martian surface might be exciting because it's real.And with NASA's Mars 2020 mission set to launch this summer，we're facing more discovery.
   So far，thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA's Curiosity rover，we've learned that lakes，rivers streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars.While its water disappeared over three billion years ago，it tells us that Mars used to be habitable.This knowledge confuses us because so far，we've seen no clear evidence of life there，not even a virus.But if Mars was once habitable，wouldn't it have life？NASA is now prepared to take the next step to answer this question with the launch of another rover （探测器），Perseverance.Every time a rover goes to Mars，it just stays there，with no way to fly back home.So we have never brought rock or soil samples back from Mars.
   Perseverance rover will change this.Its primary and unique purpose is to collect samples that a future spacecraft can return to Earth.These samples will tell us more about the geologic history of Mars than anything we've learned，which is already a lot.Since 2012，the Curiosity rover has traveled more than a dozen miles，making observations along the way with its 10 instruments.
   Thanks to data from the Curiosity rovers Sample Analysis at Mars instrument，we know that Mars does indeed have organic materials.That's more complex than we expected to find on the surface of Mars.And that's exactly why we want to gather the most interesting samples and bring them back to Earth.We expect to find out much more about Mars once we get samples back from the Mars 2020 mission.

（1）What is the purpose of Mars 2020 Mission？
A．To study the life on Mars.
B．To travel around the universe.
C．To show the power of NASA.
D．To explore the Martian surface.
（2）What does the underlined word "habitable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Enjoyable to visit.
B．Suitable for living.
C．Ready for changes.
D．Convenient to travel.
（3）What was the problem with Mars exploration before Perseverance？
A．The rovers could not reach Mars.
B．Observations were hard to make.
C．Samples on Mars couldn't be brought back.

204106. （2023•西安中学•高二上期末） I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning，wondering at itape：Hexagonal（六边形的） paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork，with a tidy stone wall running alongside.Just past the wall lay the park itself，where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky，and sparrows emerged from trees.
   The contrast between the straight-lined，orderly，man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man's creation.
   The world holds many examples of circles：the moon，grapes，drops of water and the center of flowers.Triangles（三角形） are readily evident，too.There are kitty cat noses and ears，mountain peaks and river deltas.
   But what about the most common shape in the man-made world，the rectangle（矩形）？I searched my brain for natural equals.Though I thought and thought，I came up with only two：teeth and salt crystals.That surprised me.Do we prefer rectangles simply because it's easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines？Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear？I don't know.
   There are bent lines everywhere.As I look at the beauty of，a tree in winter，with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern，I can apprehend something of what that means.
   Our world isn't always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be.There are twists and turns in my life that I can't foresee or predict.That doesn't mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong.It means that when I find myself in each new place，I need to continue growing and reaching upward.

（1）How did the author feel about the sidewalk'ape？
A．disappointed.
B．surprised.
C．worried.
D．pleased.
（2）What is the author' s attitude to the variouapes mentioned in the text？
A．negative.
B．cautious.
C．unconcerned.
D．objective.
（3）Which can explain the underlined word "apprehend" in paragraph 5？
A．create.
B．imagine.
C．understand.
D．arrange.
（4）What may the author agree with？
A．People should live in a complex world.
B．Triangles are the most common in nature.
C．Natural creation and man's creation should be balanced.
D．We should move forward in the face of uncertainties.

204040. （2023•西安中学•高一下期末）     The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during Field Day in elementary school.
   Small for my age，and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast，I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.But Field Day，which focused on individual skills，was different.
   In the softball throw event，I got my first taste of sporting victory.Credit goes to the example of my first coach，my father.He lifted weights every morning at home.He bought us all baseball gloves and hats，and in the warm months，we spent hours playing catch.With the fall coming，our backyard football games began with passing practice.
   Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school，our entire student body was assigned to either the red team or the white team.Throughout the year，we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of The Committee of Games，accelerating my competitive fever.However，in girls' sports games at my school，I was no star.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.
   School sports did not bleed into the weekends，as they do today，but at home，playing tennis，skating，skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.
   During downtime，magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow，my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force （RCAF） exercises every day，a practice that continued into my marriage，when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
   So，though it shocks some of our friends，that early foundation evolved （进化） in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus，considered essential even on vacation.
   I still love reading and the arts，too.As far as I'm concerned，life is richest with my feet in both worlds.

204298. （2023•西咸新区•高二下期末）     When I was a kid，a sycamore （枫树） grew in front of my home.At the age of 10，I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch and lift myself into its embrace.Sometimes two or three of my friends would join me in the sycamore，or in the maple down the street，or Mrs.DiMarco's old peach tree，some of whose stout horizontal branches allowed us to sit shoulder to shoulder，eating sweet fruit.
    In my small town there are some kinds of trees，their branches spreading wide，open for business.But I have not yet seen a climber.Perhaps computer games have replaced tree climbing，or maybe the activity went the way of monkey bars，which came to be viewed as too risky and have largely disappeared from playgrounds.
    It is a sad loss.I have always believed that，since low-hanging branches provide no benefit to the tree，they must be meant for the child.Robert Frost understood this when he wrote：
    When I see baches （桦树） bend to left and right，
    Across the lines of straighter darker trees，
    I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
    My only disagreement with Frost is his inference that tree climbing is a gender-specific task.Both boys and girls make a joyful climb.
    The campus of the university where I teach has all sorts of trees.During a recent walk，I found myself bending under the branch of an immense spruce （云杉）.I grabbed the thing，and a moment later was sitting on a branch.Then the memories came flooding back.The old sycamore，the friends，and finally，the reluctance to return to earth when the parental call to supper came.
    I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the student calling to me from below.He asked what I was doing.I didn't waste time on explanations. "Come on up，" I said "The air's fine." But he only laughed and waved me off.He didn't know what he was missing.

（1）What does the underlined word "stout" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．Slim.
B．Bent.
C．Smooth.
D．Strong.
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．Why kids don't climb trees.
B．Why monkey bars are dangerous.
C．Why there is no business under trees.
D．Why kids are addicted to computer games.
（3）What does the author want to prove by mentioning Robert's poem？
A．Some branches of trees are useless.
B．Trees are intended for kids to climb.
C．Trees are a source of inspiration for poets.
D．Climbing trees is a unique right of boys.
（4）What did the author think the student had missed？
A．The explanations to his question.
B．The fresh air above the tree.
C．The pleasure of climbing trees.
D．The sense of safety on earth.
