202691. （2020•西安中学•二模） I always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something．Not just as in， "Great job，Jimbo!" No，I wanted to be best-in-class，awe-inspiring，tiptop：a world-famous genius，like Michael Phelps，or Mark Zuckerberg．
   Unfortunately，my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision．I was a good swimmer，but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level．My academic record was pretty solid，but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools．
   Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas，the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond．God apparently had other plans．
   What drove me crazy，though，was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn．Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose of it．Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williams，the famed New York Yankees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso？
   Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time．Around ten thousand hours，to be precise，according to author Malcolm Gladwell．I don't question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one's expertise，but it seems that raw talent is equally important．You either have it or you don't．
   I've heard that as people approach middle age，their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality．After a few decades of frustration without the desired results，we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out，even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations．
   Hope bends，it seems．

（1）What does the word "delusional" in Para．2 most probably mean？
A．Imaginary．
B．Realistic．
C．Disappointing．
D．Material．
（2）In the passage，the writer thinks of himself as a       ．
A．real genius
B．mere nobody
C．super star
D．top swimmer
（3）According to the writer，what makes "greatness"？
A．Extraordinary efforts．
B．Ten thousand hours of practice．
C．Raw talent．
D．Talent and time．
（4）Which of the following might be the best title？

[解析]

（1）A．词义猜测题．根据文章第一段，I always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something．Not just as in， "Great job，Jimbo!" No，I wanted to be best﹣in﹣class，awe﹣inspiring，tiptop：a world﹣famous genius，like Michael Phelps，or Mark Zuckerberg．可知，我一直想特别擅长某件事，不只是做得好，我是想成为一流的世界天才，像Michael Phelps或者Mark Zuckerberg一样．可以看出作者有自己的远大理想，接着通过第二段中划线词所在句子中的unfortunately一词表示转折，说明自己的现实情况与上面的理想或想象不符，因此划线单词delusional为理想的、想象的，Imaginary一词与它的意思相同，而Realistic意为现实的，逼真的；Disappointing意为令人失望的；Material意为物质的；故选A．
（2）B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid﹣ sized fish in a small pond．令人失望的是我永远类似于池塘里的一条中等的鱼．因此，看得出作者认为自己是无足轻重的小人物，故选B．
（3）D．推理判断题．根据文章第五段，Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time．和 but it seems that raw talent is equally important．有人说，伟大只是投入时间去练习的一项功能，但似乎天赋也同样重要．因此，在作者看来，天赋与付出时间对于伟大的成就而言缺一不可，即天赋和时间造就了伟大，故选D．
（4）A．标题归纳题．根据文章最后两段，After a few decades of frustration without the desired results，we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out，even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations，Hope bends，it seems．经过几十年的挫折而没有取得预期的成果，我们最终接受了现实的生活，即使这远末达到我们最初理想化的期望，看起来希望是难以实现的．因此判断出文章主要内容是关于理想与现实之间的矛盾，作者认识到先天的天赋与后天努力一样重要，并且接受理想与现实之间的巨大差距，心中的愿望和梦想难以实现．而Hope bends能够体现现实与愿望的差距，因此选择Hope bends作为标题是合适的，故选A．

202833. （2020•西工大附中•四模） We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置） well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment and our wallets-as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．
   To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box-set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e-readerowed up in 2007．
   As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones． "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices -we continue to use them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy，consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放） more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．
   So what's the solution （解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．

（1）What does the author think of new devices？
A．They are environment-friendly．
B．They are no better than the old．
C．They cost more to use at home．
D．They go out of style quickly．
（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？
A．To reduce the cost of minerals．
B．To test the life cycle of a product．
C．To update consumers on new technology．
D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．
（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？
A．The box-set TV．
B．The tablet．
C．The LCD TV．
D．The desktop computer．
（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？
A．Stop using them．
B．Take them apart．
C．Upgrade them．
D．Recycle them．

202672. （2020•西安中学•三模） I used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning．Over the years，little tweaks to my routine have changed things to the point that I am in the "I Love Mondays" camp．Here's what I've found that works：
   Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday．Get everything you need for the morning ready to go．If mornings are a struggle…give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference．Once that's done，consider a special "Sunday Night Only" calming down ritual （惯例）．It might be tea and a favorite TV show，or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you're ready for sleep．Whatever it is，enjoy this Monday morning warm-up，and consider sleeping a little earlier than you're used to，in order to help with the second step．
   One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I'm ready instead of fighting with the alarm for "Just five more minutes!" Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning - not to pack more into your morning to-do list，but to give yourself time to take it slowly．When you have a little extra time in the morning，you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week．
   Find a theme for the week．Every Monday，I post an inspiring quote or saying．These are intentional!Each week，as part of my Sunday night calming down time，I consider what I'd like to focus on in the coming week，and look for a quote that's a good fit to strengthen it．
   What are you excited about for the new week？What problem-solving opportunities do you have？What's been hanging over your head undone from last week？During your preparation time on Sunday night，think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish．If possible，schedule at least one of them for Monday，so you've started your week off feeling successful，instead of feeling like there's a mountain of tasks ahead of you．The work is the same either way，but our attitudes are always within our control．
   When you are intentionally creating a life you love，Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery（单调乏味的苦差事），and more like a beautiful start!

（1）The underlined word "tweaks" is the closest in meaning to       ．
A．mistakes
B．problems
C．adjustments
D．encouragements
（2）What's the benefit of getting up early enough on Monday morning？
A．You can get to your office and start work in time．
B．You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee．
C．You can have the weekend feeling longer by starting slowly．
D．You can have enough time to make a to-do list for the week．
（3）What does the author want to indicate in Para.5？
A．Be confident to solve the problems．
B．Look for opportunities for the week．
C．Arrange your tasks well for the week．
D．Positive attitude means a happy Monday．
（4）What might be the best title for this passage？
A．Monday Morning Warm Up
B．How to Love Your Mondays
C．How to Spend Your Mondays
D．Troublesome Monday Disease

203033. （2017•铁一中学•一模） ONE day I saw a TV advertisement．A couple - she in a black dress，he in a super-stylish shirt and tie - was enjoying a candlelit （烛光的） meal accompanied by romantic music．The location？Pizza Hut．I nearly choked on my tea．
   "What？!" I laughed to my Chinese friend． "Pizza Hut is trying to be all gourmet（美食的）and fashionable？!" My friend looked confused． "But Pizza Hut is fashionable，" she said． " You go there for a special meal．"
   In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says， " I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，" but also， "I'm cosmopolitan（见多识广的）enough to be part of globalization．"
   Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing． "I'm hungry!" any longer．In my own case（with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first "date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the "let's just be friends" phone call the next day．
   In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says "let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth" （an independent café） is much cooler than one says "let's go to Starbucks"，Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations．
   Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK；you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste．I do，however，have a confession．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have retreated to McDonald's．Even so，I would never describe my Big Mac as "haute cuisine．"
（1）Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because        ．
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food．
B．Branches of Monmouth's café can be found all over the UK．
C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the Uk．
D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant．
（3）What does the underlined word " haute cuisine" in the last paragraph mean？
A．high-class cookery
B．expensive cookers
C．delicious food
D．a fashionable tradition
（4）What is the main point of the article？
A．The difference between Chinese food and the western food．
B．The comeback of independent cafes and restaurants in the UK

202956. （2017•师大附中•七模） My divorce was now final and I needed to find a new home for me and my six-year-old son，Dash．A few days earlier I'd seen an ad．I was willing to try anything，so I contacted the owner，a woman named Camille．When she e-mailed me back I discovered she wasn't renting a house at all．She was renting the attic （阁楼） apartment．I left her a message calling off our meeting．
   But Camille called me back and insisted I come over．So here I was．I pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage．The house was small as it was．The attic window looked too tiny to let much light in．We couldn't live in a dark，depressing place．I could make do（凑合） with almost anything．But Dash needs a good home，a place he really feels safe．
   No sense in wasting her time or mine．I knocked．The woman who opened the door was small and bright-eyed．She was much older than I'd guessed，but I could see she had the energy of someone half her age．She looked so sympathetic that I found myself wanting to keep talking to her．"We have to leave our home，"I explained．"My marriage ended．I only have a few days to find something else，but I want it to be right．"
   Camille nodded．"You're a good mother．You never know the miracles that await you around the corner．"Camille walked me to the door and wished me well．I got back in the car and snapped out of it．I drove off slowly，hoping to make the feeling last．I turned down a side street I didn't recognize．I glanced out of the side window．Just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front：for rent．

202975. （2017•西安中学•三模） An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains．Schools were canceled，roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed．Still，I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside．The snow got all over my shoes．The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes．My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation（预想）of the shoveling（铲雪）I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon．
   Yet，when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground，I couldn't help but smile a bit．It was so beautiful．It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass．In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow（雪犁） on the road，the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside，enjoying their way off from school．
   The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past．I remembered catching snowflakes （雪花） on my tongue，building snowmen，making snow angles，running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children．Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore（疼痛的）．I turned up my head，stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it．It tasted so fresh and clean．It tasted like youth，like joy and like love．
   May you always feel young in spirit，no matter how old or achy your body may be．May you always delight in the simple joys of life．May you alwayare your happiness with the hearts of children．And may you always give your love，your light，your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days．

203148. （2016•西安中学•一模） The easy way out isn't always easiest．I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug，my husband of one month，to a special meal．I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread．Knowing the bread would take time．I started on it as soon as Doug left for work．As I was not experienced in cooking，I thought if a dozen was good，two dozen would be better，so I doubled everything．As Doug loved oranges，I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl．Soon there was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks．Realizing I had been defeated，I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work．I went on preparing the rest of the meal，and，when Doug got home，we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice．He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed．Twice he got up and went outside，saying he thought he heard a noise．The third time he left，I went to the windows to see what he was doing．Looking out，I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin，holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container．When I came out of the house，he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin．Picking up the stick again，he held the lid up enough for me to see．I felt cold．But I stepped closer and looked harder．Without doubt it was my work．The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast （酵母） made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing．I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there．I don't know who was more embarrassed （尴尬） by the whole thing-Doug or me．

203167. （2016•西安中学•四模） In her outstanding book， "Choose the Happiness Habit"，Pam Golden wrote， "Take the story of two twin brothers for example．One grew up and became an alcoholic，while the other became a successful businessman．When asked why he became an alcoholic，the alcoholic replied， "Because my father was a drunk．" However，the successful businessman's answer was also "Because my father was a drunk．" when asked why he succeeded．The same background．The same upbringing．However，the results were quite
different．Why？The reason is that they had different choices．The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last，so they had different experiences．
   There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to "bad luck"．Have you ever heard the saying "When it rains，it pours"？That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble．So what do you think I got？
   "RAIN"．More and more "RAIN"．I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me．Pam Golden says， "You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution．" Now，when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative situation，I use a different way to think about it．I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely．Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution，
which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past，and often，I find a solution to the problem soon．
   It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with．The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience，from which I can benefit．
   Now，it doesn't "rain" as much in my life as it used to．In fact，most days are beautiful，cloudless and sunny!Sometimes I do get a rain，but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up．

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．

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．

A．It proved to be frightening．
B．It was more comfortable．

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．

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．

205753. （2018•西安一中•高一上期末） Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney．There I found another surprise waiting for me．My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me．Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything；how could he have booked the room only for three days？There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel．The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel，and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport，thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city，they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport．There was one small matter：the room rate was＄300 per night．The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only＄145．I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time．
