202996. （2017•西安一中•一模） The following passage is adapted from the writings of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist．
Any scientist who is not a pretender will admit the important part that luck plays in scientific discovery．A colleague and I carried out an experiment in which little tissue fragments（组织碎片），which were very difficult to work with，were injected into mice of different DNA strains．If we had been more experienced，we would have injected only white blood cells （which would have been easier to handle） into the mice．We now know that if we had done this，we would not have made the discovery．Obviously，we were lucky，but our scientific training enabled us to recognize the significance of the accident．
It might nevertheless seem as if luck plays a significant role in scientific discovery．However，I would like to challenge this view for the following reasons：we sometimes describe as"lucky"a person who wins a prize in a lottery at long odds；but if we describe such an event as luck，what word shall we use to describe the accidental discovery of a lottery ticket that turns out to be the winning one just on a park bench？
The two cases are quite different．A person who buys a lottery ticket is putting himself or herself in the way of winning a prize．This individual has，so to speak，purchased candidacy（候选资格）for such a turn of events and all the rest is a matter of mathematical probabilities．So it is with scientists．A scientist is anyone who，by observations and experiments conducted，by the literature read，and even by the company kept，puts himself or herself in the way of making a discovery．These individuals，by deliberate action，have enormously enlarged their awareness-their candidacy for good fortune-and will now take into account evidence of a kind that a beginner or a casual observer would probably overlook or misinterpret．
Nearly all successful scientists have emphasized the importance of preparedness of mind，and I want to emphasize that this preparedness of mind is worked for and paid for by a great deal of effort and reflection．If these efforts lead to a discovery，then I think it would be inappropriate to credit such a discovery to luck．

（1）The outcome of the experiment described in paragraph one suggests that        ．
A．luck play an insignificant part in scientific discovery
B．the injection of only while blood cells allowed the two scientists to make their discovery
C．It was difficult to inject little tissue fragments into mice of different DNT strains
D．the scientists concerned in the experiment were able to benefit from luck
（2）The author uses the example of the lottery winner in order to suggest that        ．
A．blind luck occurs more frequently than people realize
B．luck plays a more important part in most events than people realize
C．luck is not the correct term to use when referring to a significant scientific discovery
D．luck is the best word to be used to describe the accidental discovery in science
（3）The author implies that a scientist achieves"candidacy for good fortune"by
A．making careful and repeated mathematical calculations
B．depending on feelings rather than on scientific research
C．performing enough experiments to increase the statistical probability of success
D．obtaining knowledge that allows him or her to recognize important evidence
（4）The primary purpose of the passage is to
A．make a single definition of luck
B．show that scientists discover what they intend to find
C．compare scientific discovery to a lottery game
D．discuss the role of luck in science．

202994. （2017•西安一中•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
C．What makes chain restaurants gourmet and fashionable both in China and the UK．
D．The different attitudes towards chain restaurants of Chinese and British people．

204622. （2023•高新一中•高二上期末） Dreams，according to Carl Jung，reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness.In Jungian philosophy，the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives.While Jung's mystical theories are debatable，he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming.A growing number of reportow that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.
   This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic （新陈代谢的） systems，let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns，which has long-term consequences on our memory system.One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM （Rapid Eye Movement） sleep，the stage in which we dream，the mice couldn't strengthen memories.
   You might think this is just a sleep problem，but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest.We sleep in cycles，each lasting about 90 minutes；in a sleep cycle，we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM.As the night progresses，REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep （one of the stages of non-REM sleep） decreases.The longer we sleep，the more time we spend in REM，which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning.If we sleep less than seven hours，however，it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.
   The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer.We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly.However，we're not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant （抗抑郁剂） — dreams.Instead，we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep，which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.
   We're paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways.For example，a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep，REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration （整合） of unassociated information.Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.
   Rowan Hooper，the managing editor at New Scientist，writes that dreams that include an "emotional core" appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.

（1）What's Carl Jung's view about dreams？
A．They cause chaos.
B．They damage immunity.
C．They reveal secrets.
D．They mirror reality.
（2）Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3？
A．To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.
B．To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.
C．To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.
D．To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.
（3）What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5？
A．REM sleep promotes creativity.
B．REM sleep helps fight depression.
C．The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.
D．The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.
B．The absence of dreams is terrible for us.
C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.
D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.

201824. （2024•西安中学•九模）     Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor，Niccolo Filippi，a 23-year-old Italian dance performer，recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career，but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.
    His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-style d dance on YouTube."I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity，which was mostly the reason why I liked it."says Filippi.

    "The biggest difference that I found（compared to other disciplines） is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances，"says Filippi，adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance.Despite various obstacles，Filippi's efforts have not gone unnoticed.Two of his friendared videos of his performances on social media，and the response was overwhelming.One video gathered 500，000 views，while the other received 200，000 views.
    Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless，and he sees it as a means of personal growth."I like to think of a person as a book，"he says."Embracing different traditions and cultures，such as Chinese culture and many others，is like adding new chapters to my book，making it more diverse and wonderful."

201827. （2024•西安中学•九模）     The view you adopt for yourself significantly affects the way you lead your life.It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value.How does this happen？How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and，as a result，your life？
    Believing that your qualities are carved in stone-the fixed mindset-create s an urgency to prove yourself over and over.Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age.Even as a child，I was focused on being smart，but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs Wilson，my sixth grade teacher.She believed that people's IQ scores told the whole story of who they were.We were seated around the room in IQ order，and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework，or take a note to the principal.She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one consuming goal—look smart，don't look stupid.
    I've seen so many people with this consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom，in their careers，and in their relationships.Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence，personality，or character.Every situation is evaluated：Will I succeed or fail？Will I look smart or stupid？Will I feel like a winner or a loser？
    But doesn't our society value intelligence，personality，and character？Isn't it normal to want these qualities？Yes，but...
    There's another mindset，the growth mindset，which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts.Everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience.Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children？That the photographer Cindy Sherman，who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century，failed her first photography course？
    You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning.Why waste time proving how great you are，when you could be getting better？Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them？The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it，even when it's not going well，is the feature of the growth mindset.This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward Mrs Wilson's way of teaching？
A.Unconcerned.
B.Sceptical.
C.Supportive.
D.Neutral.
（2）According to paragraph 5，the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that        .
A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B.achievements can be gained through hard work
C.It's difficult to predict one's future success
D.One single outcome defines our ability
（3）The author strongly believes that we should        .
A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B.See success as a proof of intelligence or talent
C.Focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D.Believe good things will happen during difficult times
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to        .
A.explain the differences between two mindsets
B.persuade people to adopt the right mindset
C.inform people of the influence of the mindset
D.advise people to access their mindset

205603. （2019•西安中学•高一上期末） Since the first Earth Day in 1970，American have gotten a lot"greener"toward the environment．"We didn't know at that time there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，"says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA．
   But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement．Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement．"The understanding has increased many，many times，"says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first．
    According to US government reports，emissions （排放）from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons．The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9．Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place．A kind of"Green thinking"has become part of practices．

202540. （2021•西安中学•八模） A living，bio-degradable （可生物降解的）fabric named "Biogarmentry" has been invented.Made from algae （藻），the textile （纺织品） purifies the air around it through photosynthesis （光合作用）.
   Researchers claim it's the first living textile，and have fashioned the material into sheer，cloak-like garment.While prototypes （雏形） like these are still in the early stages of research and design，and far from mass production，they challenge the fashion industry to reimagine ways it can reduce its large carbon footprint through alternative fabrics.
   Fashion is one of the world's most polluting industries.It's responsible for more carbon emissions than international flights and shipping combined，amounting to 10% of all greenhouse gasses emitted globally.The crops traditionally used to make clothing absorb carbon as they grow，but most natural materials are still carbon emitters.Take a single T-shirt made of cotton as an example.The estimated footprint of a cotton shirt over its lifetime is 15 kilograms （33 pounds） of carbon dioxide，with most of that emitted during the energy-intensive production and dyeing（染色） processes.
   In recent years，environmental start-ups have proposed a number of alternative natural fibres，many of which have the potential to sequester carbon but none have been shown to achieve zero emissions.As algae has the ability to trap carbon，a carbon-negative raincoat made of marine algae has been created.Algae-based materials are，currently，where electric vehicle technologies were a decade ago.The technology is now ready for prime time.When the resulting garments are commercially available，we can imagine people wearing their own organic cloak，spraying their organism as they go to work and encouraging their algae to purify the air.

（1）What's the text mainly about？
A．A textile helping purify the air.
B．An industry causing pollution.
C．A way to achieve zero-emission.
D．A trend in the fashion industry.
（2）Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly？
A．An international flight.
B．Clothing made of cotton.
C．A petrol-powered vehicle.

202578. （2021•长安区•二模） Scientists have discovered an astonishing number of Antarctic blue whales in the waters off the coast of South Georgia，an island in the South Atlantic Ocean，suggesting decades of conservation efforts are paying off.
   During a 23-day survey，a team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey（BAS） counted 55 animals.Dr.Trevor Branch，a scientist from the University of Washington，who specializes in studying blue whales，said the number was truly amazing.
   In the last century，Antarctic blue whales were nearly hunted to extinction for their blubber，a thick layer of fat that marine animals have under their skin to keep their bodies warm.Hunters used the blubber for oil to use in products like soap or fuel for oil lamps.Around South Australia，more than 33，000 whales are believed to have been killed.A hunting ban was introduced in 1966，but by that time the whales were critically endangered.In 2018 there were reported to be only around 3000 Antarctic blue whales left.
   These sightings by the BAS team，helped by scientists from the University of Auckland in New Zealand，are a positive sign that the population is increasing.
   "In a period of 40 or 50 years，I only had records for two sightings of blue whales around South Georgia，" Dr.Branch told the reporter. "So to go from basically nothing to 55 in one year is astonishing." The cold water around South Georgia has always been popular with whales because it is crowded with krill，tiny shrimp-like creatures that are the whales' favorite food.
   The high count was so unusual that other scientists wondered whether it was a one-off，perhaps caused by usually high number of krill temporarily attracting whales from other areas.However，Dr.Jennifer Jackson from BAS says the quantity of krill was no different from other years.She's confident the population growth shown in the recordings is real and down to the protection that the whales now have.This remains to be seen，but it is highly suggested that when the next assessment is released，most likely at the end of 2021，it could show a further increase in the number of Antarctic blue whales.With the comeback of the whale，this could be an inspiration for environmental campaigns that still have progress to make.

（1）Para.3 is mainly about       .
A．the danger that blue whales faced.
B．the efforts to save blue whales.

（2）What can we infer about the blue whales from the passage？
A．They will not be endangered in the near future.
B．The number of them rises because their food increases.
C．More conservation activities will be held to protect them.
D．The coast of South Georgia offered them suitable temperature.
（3）As for other scientists' opinion on the high count，Dr.Jennifer Jackson is       .
A．supportive
B．disapproving
C．fearful
D．uncertain
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Blue Whales Makes Surprise Comeback
B．An Amazing Secret of Blue Whales
C．The Best Way to Protect Blue Whales
D．Blue Whales Set New Trends in Conservation

201692. （2024•西工大附中•模拟） It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so）．

（1）How did the author find his friend a book liar？        ．
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．
C．By mentioning a famous name．
D．By discussing the book itself．
（2）Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report？        ．
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．
B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984．
C．The author admitted having read 9 books．
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read．
（3）By lying about reading，a person hopes to        ．
A．control the conversation
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book
D．make more friends
（4）What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers？        ．
A．Favorable
B．Uncaring
C．Doubtful
D．Friendly．

202938. （2017•师大附中•十一模） When I first got an email account ten years ago，I received communications only from family，friends，and colleagues．Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail，I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all．If we want e-mail to continue to be useful，we need special laws that make spamming（发送垃圾邮件） a crime．
   If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam，the problem will certainly get much worse．Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly．As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products，individual（个人的）e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails．Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time？
   This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well．Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company．Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other．Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks，and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively．Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks．These computer problems raise production costs of companies，which are，in the end，passed on to the consumer．
   For these reasons，I believe that lawmakers need to legislate （立法） against spam．Spammerould be fined，and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people．E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently，but spam is destroying this convenience．

（1）What does the underlined word"correspondence"in the Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．messages
B．ideas
C．connections
D．programs
（2）According to the text，what is the major cause of the flooding spam？
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications．
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail．
C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail．
D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam．
（3）According to Paragraph 3，who is the final victim of spam？
A．The business
B．The advertiser
C．The employee
D．The consumer
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To inform
B．To educate
C．To persuade
D．To instruct
