202519. （2021•西安中学•二模） It was our last class before summer break.I was finishing the first year of an MFA program in poetry.I was tired and puzzled. "Was I good enough to be in the program？" When the professor asked about our summer plans，I panicked.I didn't want to appear idle. "Gardening，" I responded immediately.Actually I knew nothing about plants!My professor nodded and said，"What a good idea，Mary!Emily Dickinson loved gardening." Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside，studying plant as a child.I was in my late twenties，living in the city without gardening experience.
   A few days later，I bought a jalape?o seedling（青辣椒秧苗）.At least I could say I'd tried gardening.I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant.I even talked to it.And over the summer，it grew bigger and bigger.I was proud.Maybe I didn't have a black thumb after all.
   I started the second year of my MFA，and then it was almost December and my jalape?o was suffering.It was brown in some places；many of its leaves had fallen.Would my little guy make it？I prayed， "Please be okay，" as if its survival was closely linked to mine.
   I worked hard in school.Spring came.My jalape?o plant came back to life.It grew bigger，with new leaves.And then it flowered.I handed in my graduate paper，a book of poems，in May. "Your poems are strong，" my professor said.
   A huge weight lifted.I'd done it!At that time，I found the flowers on my jalape?o plant were gone.I watched closer.A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been.I smiled.I had succeeded in my MFA program，and my jalape?o plant had grown right beside me，and I successfully did things I hadn't thought possible.

（1）Why did the author begin gardening？

[解析]

（1）A.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中句子When a professor asked about our summer plans，I panicked.I didn't want to appear idle（闲散的）。"Gardening，"I responded immediately.Actually I knew nothing about plants!（当教授问我们的暑假计划时，我慌了。我不想显得无所事事。"园艺。"我立刻回答。其实我对植物一无所知！）可知，作者其实并不懂园艺，只是被教授突然问到，出于紧张，随口说了一个，因此，作者开始园艺只是出于偶然。A.Just by accident.（纯属偶然）正确。故选A.
（2）B.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句It was our last class before summer break.（这是我们暑假前的最后一节课。）和第二段第一句A few days later，I bought ajalapeño seedling（青辣椒秧苗）。（几天后，我买了一株墨西哥胡椒苗。）可知，作者是在一个暑假里开始的园艺种植。B.In one of her summer breaks.（在她的一个暑假里）正确。故选B.
（3）D.词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中句子And over the summer，it grew bigger and bigger.I was proud.（整个夏天，它变得越来越大。我很骄傲。）可知，作者种植的辣椒苗长势很好，因此作者很骄傲，但事实上作者根本不懂园艺，由此可推知此处指的是作者骄傲的自夸"或许我终究不是不擅长园艺的人"。D.An inability to do gardening.（无法做园艺）正确。故选D.
（4）C.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段最后一句I smiled.I had succeeded in my MFA program，and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me，and I successfully did things I hadn't thought possible.（我笑了笑。我成功地完成了我的艺术硕士课程，我的墨西哥胡椒就生长在我身边，我成功地做了我以前认为不可能的事情。）可知，通过作者的努力，成功做了自己认为不可能的事情，C.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.（心之所愿，无所不成）正确。A.It's never too old to learn.活到老，学到老；B.Easier said than done.说起来容易做起来难；D.Do not teach fish to swim.不要班门弄斧。均不适合为标题。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.

202300. （2022•西工大附中•六模） Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada，Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life.But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed： "I didn't get fed up and storm off，nothing like that；it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new."
   Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up her departure to New York to begin a degree.However，the opportunity for an open year between the MBA and the degree came up，and as a keen touring cyclist，Fahey realized that a dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility： "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list.It was a moment when I realized that I could do anything，so I should."
   Fahey rode across Africa，and it was a 7，500-mile trip that took four months.The whole experience had a life-changing impact.Fahey said， "Bicycles provide a literal freedom.You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions.But when you're out on the bike and there's nothing else，you're really free to experience what life is."
   After gaining the degree，Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP （United Nations Development Program） in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
   It was while she was working on these projects that the seeds of the next new investment were sown. "It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again." Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.
   In 2013，Apidura was born，producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike，race across continents and carry all they need to do so.It's now a successfulglobal brand，but Fahey remains reflective，curious about what else the company can do for people.

202330. （2022•交大附中•七模） If you enjoy American stories，you'll have noticed that many of them take place on the road.Many famous American novels are about stories that occur while their characters are traveling along highways.These novels are often celebrations of American life.
   Jesmyn Ward's National Book Award winner Sing，Unburied，Sing is a road novel，but not a celebration.The road journey here is through Mississippi，as an African-American mother and her two children travel to collect her white husband as he's released from jail.
   Neither the mother，Leonie，nor the father，Michael，are ideal parents.Leonie in particular is so full of anger and regret that she takes out her unhappiness on her children，the 13-year-old Jojo and his little sister Kayla.
   The telling of the story is divided between various narrators.Jojo，the boy，is the most sympathetic of them.But it is worrying to read about how he experiences the world.Even though he's young，he's already experienced the dark side of life.The opening sentence of the book gives a sense of Jojo's unnatural maturity-"I like to think I know what death is.I like to think that I could look at it straight."
   But who，or what，is to blame for these sad circumstances？For Ward，it's clearly the past.She admires the work of fellow novelist William Faulkner.When she thinks about the past，she's of the same mind as him.
   Faulkner famously wrote， "The past is never dead.It's not even past." At one point，Ward says that her characters are "pulling the past with them." like a too-heavy trailer（拖车） coupled to the car，as they journey on through Mississippi to the jailhouse.The biggest part of this past，of course，is racism—the remains of slavery-which is always there，and ruining life.
   This is probably why The Washington Post listed Sing，Unburied，Sing as one of its 10 choices of 2017's Best Books. "The misery of this one family is tied to crimes that stretch over decades，" wrote the newspaper.

（1）What can we learn about Sing，Unburied，Sing from the text？
A．It was recently adapted as a film.
B．It's a celebration of American life.
C．It is a story of a road trip through Mississippi.
D．It's one of 2017's best-selling American novels.
（2）According to the text，the character Jojo        .
A．is the main narrator of the novel
B．is unusually mature for his age
C．presents less sympathy than others
D．is the youngest child in the family
（3）What is the root cause of the family's difficulty according to the text？
A．The unhappy marriage of the parents.
B．The experience of being in prison.
C．The lack of financial support.
D．The existence of racism.
（4）Why is William Faulkner's line mentioned in the text？
A．To prove Ward shares a similar opinion of the past with him.
B．To show Ward has drawn a lot of inspiration from him.
C．To show Ward is as great a novelist as he is.
D．To compare Ward's writing style with his.

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.

202369. （2021•西安中学•四模） One day，gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers，but the whirr of robots，too.Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone （无人机） into a remote-controlled pollinator （授粉媒介） by attaching horsehairs coated with a special，sticky gel to its underbelly.
   Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops.Chief among those are bees - but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades.Thus，the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems，but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy.People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques，but none of them are especially effective yet.
   Scientists have thought about using drones，but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. "It's very tough work，" said senior author Eijiro Miyako，a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.His particular contribution to the field involves a gel，one he'd considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet.When it was rediscovered a decade later，it hadn't dried up or degraded at all. "I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity，" Miyako said.
   The chemist noticed that when dropped，the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor.Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen （花粉）.He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee's fuzzy body.They coated those horsehairs in the gel，and then controlled the drones over lilies，where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one，thus fertilizing it.
   The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
   Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether，but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties.There's a lot of work to be done before that's a reality，however.Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient，as well as smarter，with better GPS and artificial intelligence.

（1）What does the underlined word "viscosity" in Para.3 probably mean？
A．Hardness.
B．Stickiness.
C．Flexibility.
D．Purity.
（2）We can learn from the passage that        .
A．bees disrupt both agriculture and economy
B．scientists have invented self-powered robot insects
C．bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
D．Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance
（3）A drone works best in picking up pollen when        .
A．its body is made like a bee's
B．its GPS works more efficiently
C．some flowers are coated with the gel
D．horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
（4）According to Eijiro Miyako，the drones        .
A．are not yet ready for practical use
B．may eventually replace bees in the future
C．are much more efficient than bee pollinators
D．can provide a solution to economic depression

202405. （2021•西安中学•三模） The morning she left for Camp Kanawa，Maria awoke with an ache in her stomach.She had gone on plenty of parties.She'd even spent a whole weekend at Aunt Jolie and Uncle Ed's.So what happened to her？
   No breakfast today，she thought，imagining the ache turning into throwing up and a horrible road trip after a full meal.As usual，Maria felt hungry as soon as the room smelled of French toast.On the other hand，maybe a good breakfast was exactly what she needed.
   "There's my big camper!" said her mom.Then，she walked to the stove，placed two pieces of French toast on a plate and powdered sugar snowing down. "Just like you like it." At the meanwhile，Maria was already in position，armed with knife，fork，napkin and a full glass of milk.
   "Get started while it's hot.Your father's coming down in a minute.I told him to shave.I don't want the beard-I mean，the bushy black beard."

202424. （2021•西安中学•七模） My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lives.I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression.
   The place was full of life.There were insects，horses，rabbits and a cat.She told me to focus on my body in the environment.
   When I was ill，I tended to retreat into my mind and disconnect from here and now.So，when I met a horse named Fira，I expected nothing.
   As I got closer to Fira，she nuzzled her nose into my chest，putting a gentle pressure over my heart.Something happened inside me：I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts，fears and failings.I began to melt emotionally.
   I patted Fira's nose and breathed in her smell.I found I didn't have to concentrate on feeling better；Fira helped me feel loved and safe.
   I worked with Fira often，learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her.Initially，I wasn't sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it.But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better.She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open，affectionate way.
   In my meetings with Fira，I found that I lost my usual self-consciousness，and I would focus entirely on communicating.
   I learned to live in the present，to focus on what was happening this day，in this moment，in this place.I learned to forget the past，with all its hurts.I learned to forget the future，which hasn't happened yet.When you stand beside a horse，you exist completely in the moment.
   With Fira by my side，I saw into a life in which trust comes first，and compassion follows.
   I found a deep peace in leading her along a path，by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start，stop，turn left or turn right.I felt an inner quiet and even joy.My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.

202462. （2021•西安中学•九模） I'd done it before，and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different.I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip.As always，I'd bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots.A hole or two in my jeans and，of course，a lot of great memories.
   The summer before my high school graduation，I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need.Arriving at our destination，my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire.No sooner had we parked on the home's dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl，no more than six years old，standing in the doorway of the family's temporary home.Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I'd ever seen，she yelled， "Ma，Ma，they really came!" I didn't know it then，but her name was Dakota，and four more days would pass before she'd say another word near me.
   Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair - her grandmother，we'd soon learn.I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl.Over the following days，I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked.A few times，I tried talking with her，but she remained shy and distant，always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.
   By our fifth and final day，however，this was about to change.Before I went to work on her home on that last morning，I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother.I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room - so much.As we talked，I noticed something I hadn't seen before - Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.
   Cautiously，she stepped into view，and I could see that just like her clothes，her face was still dirty.But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and the big smile.She was simply adorable.Slowly，she began walking toward me.It wasn't until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand.Silently，she reached up and handed it to me.Once unfolded，I looked at the drawing she'd made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover.It was of two girls - one much taller than the other - and they were holding hands.She told me it was supposed to be me and her，and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart.Now almost in tears，I couldn't control myself anymore - I bent down and hugged her.She hugged me，too.And for the longest time，neither of us could let go.
   I left for home early the next morning.I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans.But because of Dakota，I brought back something else，too - a greater appreciation for all or the blessings of my life.I'll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face.I pray that she'll never forget me either.

202148. （2022•西安中学•八模） I'm running some 3，550 kilometers.To be more precise，this jog is mostly around my neighborhood in Ottawa.It is the distance by air to Vancouver that my friend Lucy and I are doing.If we make it，Lucy and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of the BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races.We may not win medals，but for sure we'll have cake for my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line.
   The workout for big birthdays represents a big change for me.I used to hate birthdays，especially those milestone ones.No longer feeling young is horrible.As I approached my sixtieth birthday，Lucy suggested setting targets to mark milestone birthdays. "That way you are looking forward to something，not dreading it，" she pointed out.
   By doing those expanding my world or demanding new skills，I feel myself growing，not shrinking.For my sixtieth，I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon （铁人三项赛），which turned out to be a real milestone.After over four hours on the course，I was last among the 95 competitors.But I was the oldest woman competing，so that made me first in my age category.Since then，I've looked on the special days as a call for trying something different.For my sixty-fifth birthday，I went to run a half marathon.And I finished seven activities that took me out of my "comfort zone" at seventy.
   I'm fortunate to have celebrated so many birthdays in good health and spirits，so whether I succeed in running to Vancouver or not，I'm grateful for the opportunity.One thing I've learned in taking up these challenges is that there are many possibilities for new adventures and achievements，even as we grow older.So do spend every day of every year with a definite end in view，which will release your energy and make you happy.
