203226. （2016•西安一中•一模） Open Letter to an Editor I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you．In fact，he's one of your best reporters．He wants to leave．
   Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you．The headlineowed you played them proudly．With great enthusiasm，he talked about how he finds issues，approaches them，and writes about them，which tells me he is one of your best．I'm sure you would hate to lose him．Surprisingly，your reporter is not unhappy．In fact，he told me he really likes his job．He has a great assignment，and said you run a great paper．It would be easy for you to keep him，he said．He knows that the paper values him．He appreciates the responsibility you've given him，takes ownership of his profession，and enjoys his freedom．
   So why is he looking for a way out？
   He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him．He wants to be pushed，
challenged，coached to new heights．
   The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions，but his editors usually ask how long the story will be，when it will be in，where it can play，and what the budget is．
   He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones．He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out，exploring the best ways to report it．He wants to be more valuable for your paper．That's what you want for him，too，isn't it？
   So your reporter has set me thinking．
   Our best hope in keeping our best reporters，copy editors，photographers，artists-everyone-is to work
harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential．If we can't do it，they'll find someone who can．

（1）What does the writer think of the reporter？        ．

（2）Who probably wrote the letter？        ．

202386. （2021•西安中学•十模） Twelve-year-old Lydia Denton was recently named the winner of CITGO's Fueling Education Student Challenge，where she earned ＄20，000 after creating the Beat the Heat Car Seat，which is a portable device placed in the car seat that not only senses weight over five pounds but monitors temperature when the baby is in the seat.
   The soon-to-be seventh grader saye became inspired to make the invention after watching the news that babies were being left in hot cars，often by accident. "At first，I thought about raising money for the families，but that wouldn't fix the problem：I wanted to invent something that could prevent the deaths from happening."
   Lydia's device is started when it senses the weight of the child and the temperature setting reaches over 100℉（38℃）.At that point，an alarm goes off and a warning is sent via SMS to the parents.If the parents don't reset the device within 60 seconds，a built-in GPS chip sends a message to local authorities with the vehicle's location.After many rounds of testing with her local 911，Lydia is proud to say that Beat the Heat Car Seat is a success.
   Though many newer vehicles come with warning systems and smart seat systems，Lydia's goal was to create a device that would reach more people and that could also transfer from car seat to car seat as the child grew.She decided to use her prize money to continue making improvements on the device，which would sell for only about ＄40.
   Lydia is now working with an instructor who is helping her with production and teaching her about business.Lydia hopes that her work will inspire more kids of her age to make their ideas come true. "Don't think that you have to accept things in the world.If there is something that bothers you，think of ways to make it better!"

（1）Why did Lydia make the invention？
A．To win 20，000-dollar prize.
B．To raise money for unlucky families.
C．To help stop babies dying in hot cars.

（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the device？
A．How it works.
B．What it consists of.
C．Why it raises the alarm.
D．How parents respond to it.
（3）How will Lydia's future device differ from other smart seat systems？
A．It will be much stronger.
B．It will be more affordable.
C．It will be less problematic.
D．It will be more effective on older kids.
（4）What can we learn from Lydia's story？

205789. （2017•西北大附中•高一下期末） How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again．Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets．
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult．If a child has good parents，he is fed，looked after and loved，whatever he may do．It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return．In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known．But a child has his parents．He is not so free to do what he wishes to do；he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong．
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes，and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably．If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry．And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may go to prison．If，however，he works hard，keeps out of trouble and has good health，he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society．

（1）According to the second paragraph，the writer thinks that        ．
A．life for a child is comparatively easy

（3）The underlined word"responsibilities"in the second paragraph means        ．
A．duties
B．jobs
C．suggestions
D．desires
（4）The main idea of the passage is        ．

   One Friday，12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy．They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house，but as they got close，Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street．Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man．
   Amy said not to worry，Mr Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone．Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house．When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown，but when he saw it was Amy，a broad smile changed his entire face as he said， "Hello，Miss Amy．I see you've got a little friend with you today． "

203339. （2016•西工大附中•九模） Compassion is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn't help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，but store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．If anything，he looked more pitiable．"Change it to me，"was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

In the teacher's office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions："Is your son mentally retarded（弱智的）？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？"
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？NO，no，it can't be．What a helpless，lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead．I asked him why he was asking me all these questions．
My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class．Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet？
He was angry；"Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？"
No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied．I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language．Well，wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time？"Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？"
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of"those people．"Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left．
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over．He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures．He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted，contented life．And he has benefited from being bilingual（双语的）．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places-something very basic and obviously lacking in the"educator"I met in New Jersey．

A．to discuss Scola's in-class performance

205978. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） The Chinese put up with a lot living in the world's most populous country：standing on over-crowded trains for 40 hours；sleeping outside hospitals to secure a doctor's appointment；waiting more than a year to earn a driver's license．
Add getting a U．S．entry visa to the list．Applicants here have waited as long as 60 days to secure an appointment at one of five U．S．consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas．There，they're often greeted by long lines，followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds．
Now there are only about 100 U．S．visa officers in China，facing considerable challenges during the summer when tourists and students travel the most．"It's not easy work，"Charles Bennett，minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U．S．Embassy in Beijing，said to his staff．"You're making，in some cases，life-changing decisions many times a day，and that can cause great tiredness．"
To adapt，US consular services expanded their hours，took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20 officers by spring．More facilities are also being expanded．
Despite the shocking numbers，the embassy remains troubled by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly burdensome．"I'm fed up，"said Wendy Liu，24．The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable．"I'll go anywhere but the U．S．now，"she said．"I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom．"
To visit the US，Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely they'll return to China．The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas．
Student visas can be refused on grounds of national security．Beijing native Tan Ge，25，believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application．He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University．
By its very nature，the on-the-spot process at the U．S．Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants，who are asked to take their bank statements，property deeds（房产证），marriage licenses and HUKOU，a Chinese household ID．
"It made me feel very uncomfortable，"said Xu Yong，28，a journalist who needed a business visa last month to cover a conference in New York．"They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good．"
After giving his fingerprints，Xu waited to be called for his interview，sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library．Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century．
After an hour，Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview．Two were rejected before his turn．Then the American officer，speaking fluent Chinese，reached for Xu's paperwork，asked some simple questions and said，"Congratulations．"
"I was so nervous．The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed，"Xu said．"She was the one who warned me it wasn't going to be easy．"
（1）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that in China        ．
A．you may quickly be rejected for a U．S．visa after a long wait
B．getting a U．S．visa is not as hard as getting a driver's license
C．an applicant has to wait two months to get a visa for the U．S．
D．there are more than five US consular locations stamping visas
（2）Beijing native Tan Ge was refused a U．S．visa probably because he        ．
A．had no stable income
B．was supposed to be unsafe for the U．S．
C．had too wide interests
D．had got a full scholarship in the U．S．
（3）Why does the author give a detailed description of Xu Yong's experience？
A．To show how lucky Xu is to make it to New York．
B．To reflect the problems in processing a U．S．entry visa．
C．To stress what a hard-won success it is to get a U．S．visa．
D．To persuade readers out of working or studying abroad．

206074. （2016•七十中•高二下期末） Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that，especially if people admire their pictures．But Picasso，the great Spanish painter，was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting．He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973．
   Some of Picasso's painting are rich，soft colored and beautiful．Others are ugly and cruel and strange．But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves．They force us to say to ourselves，"What does he see that makes him paint like that？"And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see．．
   Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles．Sometimes he painted the natural look of things．Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces．He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eyes see．At the age of 90，he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young．That is why people have called him"the youngest painter in the world．"

（1）The ugly cruel and strange paintings by Picasso       ．
A．make us try to notice something latent（隐藏） in the things
B．allow us to ask questions about them
C．force us to question anything we see
D．cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
（2）The sentence"Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces"means       ．
A．sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
B．he broke something he was painting and threw them away
C．sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
D．things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder
（3）Why have people called Picasso"the youngest painter in the world？"
A．Because he observed things with the eye and the mind．
B．Because he looked young when he was old．
C．Because he never stopped painting he was old．
D．Because he never gave up looking for something new．
