203657. (2024•师大附中•高二上期末)     It was October 2005,and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
    Yasmeen Lari,a 65-year-old architect,was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements,but she had never done disaster work before.Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete.But here,she'd be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片).With each passing day,she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work.So she made it her new mission,spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
    Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris,bamboo and mud,Lari'elters can better withstand disasters.Lari says this local,cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem.Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari's Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
    The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018."We need to believe in people's capacity to bring about change.I treat displaced people as partners,not victims.They know what to do," says Lari.
    Over the decades,Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist.While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941,she had an unconventional upbringing.At home,her father would talk about the desperate need for housing.Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari.On a family visit to London when she was 15,she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University.She laughs ae recalls her bravery.
    At age 83,Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs,skills building and self-sustaining villages. "Architects can no longer work for just the one percent," she says. "That doesn't allow them to serve humanity as much as they could."

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

D.Caroline Alexander
35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?

202348. (2021•西安中学•五模) Unless your parent is a head chef or bento box(便当盒)master,school lunch is usually nothing to write home about.For artist and father Dominick Cabalo,however,his son Nicholas' lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity.Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas' paper lunch bags,usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.
   Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school. "I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others," he said. "So by creating a piece of artwork to 'break the ice',kids would come up to him and start talking and hopefully a conversation,or better yet,a new friendship,would start."
   Though Nicholas is in middle school now,he still asks his dad to draw on the lunch bags,and will make requests for characters or drawings that he'd like to see on the next bag.Cabalo has drawn about 400 lunch bags in the past three years.He explained that the bags had really helped his son become more confident at school. "He's broken out of hiell because of this,and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags." he wrote.
   Nicholas keeps most of the bags. "Some come back in better condition than others," Cabalo said. "We may lose one due to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink,but that's to be expected." As for the bags that make it home undamaged,Cabalo posts their photos to social media.His favorites are the more time-consuming series of bags that can be joined up to create a larger image,such as the "Finding Nemo" triptych(三联画).

202083. (2022•西安中学•六模) Just when we thought we had seen all the magical things that 3 D printing can do,here comes another-a working artificial leg has transformed the life of a little Canadian duckling(小鸭) called Dudley,who had been struggling to get by after losing a leg.
   The story began on August 19th,2013,when the newly-born healthy Dudley and his brother were placed inside a chicken coop(笼子)at the K9-1-1 Animal and Rescue Services in Sicamous,British Columbia.Within a few hours,an aggressive chicken attacked the two,killing Dudley's brother and leaving him with a disability!
   While Dudley could swim with his single leg,he had a hard time walking on the firm ground.Determined to help him,Doug Nelson,the owner of the shelter decided to consult Terence Loring,the founder of a design firm that among other things also offers 3 D printing designs.
   Given that he had just launched 3 pillar designs,Terence somewhat hesitated to take on a duckling as his first client(客户).But as soon as he saw brave little Dudley walking around on one leg,Terence knew he had to do something.Using his biomedical engineering training,Terence spent the next few weeks creating a 3 D template(模板),after he found out how ducks' legs work in YouTube videos about ducks.Once ready,he sent them to Ontario-based 3 D engineering firm Proto3000,who agreed to print the leg.
   The second artificial leg was much stronger than the first one.When the artificial leg that is printed from strong ABS,a thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) that becomes soft and moldable when heated and attached to a foot designed from soft and flexible robber-like plastic,was fitted to Dudley,his whole manner changed.He wagged his tail and showed it off to his best friend一a pig called Elsie.
   Of course,as Dudley has been growing,the leg and foot have had to be replaced.But that hasn't bothered Terence who continues to improve the design.The best part is that Terence has put all the designs on his website so that anyone wishing to help out an animal suffering from a similar injury can do so,by simply hitting the print button on his/her 3 D printer!

A.He wasn't well looked after.
B.He lost it in a traffic accident.

202119. (2022•西安中学•二模) When I was 6,my elder brother brought me to the local BMX(自行车越野) track to ride in a kid's race for the first time.The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and steep that I backed off.My parents took me back for another try the next week.I fell almost immediately but still managed to win the second place.I've loved racing ever since.
   I turned pro at 15,which isn't possible now:You have to be 17 to compete professionally around the time I went pro.BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school.I'm the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.
   BMX isn't judged on tricks or how you handle barriers,but it's an extreme sport.It's like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster.It starts with a huge burst of speed - I go 40 mph by the time.I'm two and a half seconds out of the gate.Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track,which includes 40-foot jumps.I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness,big jumps,and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.
   Strength and balance are key in competition,so I work out at least five days a week to prepare.I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活)training,both on and off the bike.I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I'm focused and confident going into competition.If I make a mistake on the course,I have to move on.Everyone is out to beat me;I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can't capitalize on an error and pass me!
   I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio,but I felt I was capable of gold,so that will push me to do better.I'm continually working to reach my potential in the sport.Until I feel completely satisfied,I'll keep coming back.

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.

202205. (2022•长安区一中•五模) 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 a move to New York to begin a degree.However,the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up,and as a keen touring cyclist,Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility:"The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list.It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything,so I should."
   Fahey rode across Africa,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."
   Post-degree,Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project)in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
   It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. "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 successful global brand,but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.

202224. (2022•临潼区•一模) Camelli's duty was simple:to give back to the community where she was raised.Warren,Ohio lies just thirteen miles north of Youngstown,the former center of steel production,and now one of the neediest cities in the country.Both cities' populations and its finance have been on the decline each year,with unemployment rates surpassing both the state and national average.
   But it wasn't always this way.Thirty years ago,when Camelli was a student at Howland High School,the school where she now teaches Advanced Placement Psychology,"The poorness level was around 6%," she says.Today,it is closer to 40%.
   This financial condition influences everything from the way students learn,to their ability to deal with social and emotional issues.Knowing this,Camelli created Paw Pantry.Whether it's for food,clothes,school supplies or personal hygiene(卫生)products,students and their parents can go on the district's website and fill out a request form for Paw Pantry products.They can choose to pick their items up-or have them delivered-at school.
   Camelli mentioned Paw Pantry when she attended her high school activity in 2017.It made her former classmates aware of how their hometown has changed over the years. "soon,money started pouring in from all over the country,all over the world," she says.
   In just a year and a half since the Paw Pantry began,Camelli has received plenty of non-perishable (不易变质的)food,clothing,lunch boxes,backpacks,school supplies-even home goods,including a refrigerator,a washer and dryer,and a stove.
   Camelli actively shows her students the power of connection. "I'm definitely kinder because of Ms.Camelli.Ms.Camelli is a mother,but she's also a mother figure for all of us".Blake says,"Ms.Camelli,you will never understand how happy this act of your caring had made me," she added.
   Camelli is a community activist,a mental heath supporter,and by many people's standards,she's most certainly a hero,but she doesn't see herself that way.And that's what she as a teacher should do.

(1)What does the underlined word "neediest" in the first paragraph mean?

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.

(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.

   I take the steps two at a time,not bothering to hold on to the wooden rails.I stand on tiptoe to take down the preserves(果 酱 ).I put both my hands around the jar.I can hear Pa laughing upstairs and Ma joining in.I want to be with them in the kitchen.I hurry up the steps,and my bare foot catches on the middle one.I put out my hand to steady myself,but I fall down,the jar slipping through my fingers.The jar smashes on the hard-as-rock mud floor.Bits of apple fly everywhere.
   Ma's footsteps,Ma's voice: "Are you hurt?" She checks me for cuts. "Go on upstairs now.Mind you don't cut your bare feet." I want her to yell at me,but that's all she says.
   Upstairs,Pa wipes my eyes with the tail of hiirt. "Never mind,old son,accidents happen." I bury my face in Pa's torn old jacket.I smell the miles he's walked looking for work to bring us those bags on the table.

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
