220437. （2015•长安区一中•高三上一月） The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you．Air pressure is a powerful force．When you swim underwater，you can feel water pushing on your body．The air all around you does the same．However，your body is so used to it that you do not notice this．The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere．This layer surrounds the Earth，extending to about five kilometers above the Earth's surface．
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home．But make sure that you are supervised，because you will need to use matches．Now for the experiment!
What you need
●A hard-boiled egg without the shell
●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
●A piece of paper
●A match
Method
Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle．
Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle．
Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle．
Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle．
Result
Astonishingly，the egg will be sucked into the bottle．Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment．But be careful when you handle matches．
Why it happened
As the paper burns，it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen（air） in the bottle．The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside．This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle．The air pressure must equalize，so more air from outside must enter the bottle．The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle!This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us．

（1）The experiment is carried out to prove       ．
A．water pushes on your body when you swim underwater
B．the pressure of air around us has a powerful force
C．the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere
D．the air pressure is not equalized around us
（2）Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment？
A．The bottle could break．
B．The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle．
C．The egg needs to be shelled．
D．You need to light the paper with a match．
（3）In the experiment，the burning inside the bottle can       ．
A．finish up the oxygen inside the bottle
B．make a seal in the neck of the bottle
C．equalize the air pressure inside and outside
D．Produce more oxygen inside the bottle
（4）How did the egg get into the bottle？
A．The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in．
B．It became soft without the shell．
C．The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle．
D．The neck of the bottle was wide enough．

202597. （2021•高陵一中•二模） Video chat is now the go-to outlet for many social distancers longing for social
interaction.But having a successful fete isn't only a question of hopping on camera with friends and kicking off.Social grace is a big part of a successful virtual party
— and etiquette doesn't go out the door just because you're in your pajamas in
front of a camera.
Introduce everyone to the group
Gone are the days during which you can introduce yourself to new people at your leisure.Instead，the second you click 'Join Meeting'，you're pushed in front of potentially dozens of faces staring straight at you.
This is particularly problematic if not everyone on the call knows each other
— Zoom itself recommendort ice-breaking sessions for everyone to introduce themselves on meetings.
"I like to use the wait room，" says Tamiko Zablith，founder of Minding Manners International. "For security reasons，it means outsiders don't come crashing into your meeting.But also，you can let people come in one at a time，and then you can take that time to introduce them to the group as well."
Learn the art of the pause
Another wildly confusing thing about Zoom parties：everyone has to talk one at a time.There's no chance for small groups to organically form，for joking talk to fill a room，or for guests to talk at the same time.The whole group，no matter how large，can only listen to one person at a time.
That's why putting pauses in your speech is critical，especially since low internet speeds or weird audio may mean it's easy for someone to talk over someone else，drowning out what they have to say to the group.
"If the internet is a bit unreliable，you have those unstable signals.If I keep rambling，and the other person starts，there's that delay，" says Zablith. "Work those pauses into your conversation."
Know when to change backgrounds
Using Zoom's backgrounds can actually be a courtesy to eliminate distractions behind you.
Hiding those dirty dishes or pizza boxes，or obscuring other members of the household coming and going，eliminates distractions and makes the other people feel like they're getting your full attention.
"Wouldn't it be better if that distraction just wasn't there？" Zablith says，pointing to the advantage of virtual backgrounds being able to hide anything unsightly behind you.For others，virtual backgrounds also provide a sense of comfort or normalcy to the audience.
（1）According to the passage，which of the following is considered impolite？
A．To introduce everyone individually to the group.
B．To use virtual backgrounds to avoid distraction.
C．To put several pauses in your online speech.
D．To keep silent when joining in the meeting.
（2）According to Tamiko Zablith，        .
A．Internet speed matters little in Zoom parties
B．the wait room makes it easy to introduce everybody
C．for some，real room background has a comforting effect
D．pauses in speaker's conversation may delay the conference
（3）What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To attract more people to use Zoom.
B．To explain how to maintain social manners.
C．To offer guidance on Zoom social etiquette.
D．To compare online meetings with offline ones.

202689. （2020•西安中学•二模） $德优题库$ If you're looking to buy a gift for your children，why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard？
   What is a Hoverboard？
   A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device．It's electrical，portable and became highly popular in 2015 in reference to a popular 1980's movie．Typically，this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard．
   How Does a Hoverboard Work？
   The device may have many designs，but the mechanism itself isn't complicated．Basically，a standard hoverboard contains：
   ?Battery：stores the electrical power．Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery．
   ?Gyroscope （one for each wheel）：allows riders to tilt （倾斜） the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction．
   ?Motor （one in each wheel）：provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright．
   ?Logic board：functions as the hoverboard brain．It processes data - your speed，tilt，etc． - and sends information to the motors．This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed．
   All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced，upright and moving at a controlled speed．
   Why Buy a Hoverboard？
   Undoubtedly，hoverboards are cool．You've probably seen kids riding one around the house．They're a phenomenon and everybody wants in．So，why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend？
   Where is a hoverboard legal？
   Despite their wild popularity，hoverboards have yet to become "street-legal"．Currently，some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices，and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places，like campus buildings，parks，shopping malls and subway stations．Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths．However，open areas - including your yard - are free of these restrictions．

（1）The logic board of a hoverboard can        ．
A．store electricity
B．power the wheels
C．send information to the riders
D．receive data and give command
（2）According to the passage，a hoverboard can be used        ．
A．on campus
B．in parks
C．on bike paths
D．in shopping malls
（3）What is the main purpose of this passage？
A．To evaluate a gift's quality．
B．To recommend a gift choice．
C．To compare new hoverboard models．
D．To clarify functions of the latest hoverboards．
