204013. （2023•师大附中•高二下期末）     The Living Planet Index （LPI） report shows that wildlife numbers have dropped sharply since 1970.It says that，on average，wildlife populations dropped by 69% in the 48 years from 1970 to 2018.That's a huge drop.Marco Lambertini，who leads the World Wildlife Fund （WWF），said， "The message is clear and the lights are flashing red."
    The LPI is reporting the average change in the size of animal populations over time.Some kinds of animals are in worse trouble than others.Populations of vertebrates （脊椎动物） that live in fresh water （not oceans） have dropped by 83%.The numbers of sharks and rays in the oceans have gone down by 71%.Central and South America and the Caribbean had the greatest population losses — a drop by 94%.Next came Africa，with a 66% drop，followed by Asia and the Pacific with a 55% drop.Europe and North America showed smaller losses.These areas probably had greater losses before 1970.
    The biggest problem is the loss of wild areas to growing cities，and activities like farming and deforestation.Hunting，poaching （偷猎），overfishing，and pollution are also big challenges.Climate change is a growing problem，and may soon be the biggest one.
    But there are some hopeful signs.About half of the populations are jarless or growing.In some cases，human efforts to protect animals are working.For example，nests of loggerhead turtles in Chrysochou Bay，Cyprus rose by 500% from 1999 to 2015 because of efforts to protect them.
    An international meeting on biodiversity this December is seen as extremely important.The meeting，called COP15，is being run by the United Nations in Montreal，Canada.The meeting's goal is to get countries to agree to new guidelines to help stop the loss of animals，plants and wild lands by 2030. "Our future depends on reversing （逆转） the loss of nature just as much as it depends on addressing climate change，" says Carter Roberts，who leads WWF in the US. "And you can't solve one without solving the other."

（1）What does Marco Lambertini say about the drop of wildlife numbers？
A．It's alarming.
B．It's unreal.
C．It's tolerable.
D．It's puzzling.
（2）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

B．Effects that climate change brings.
C．Causes for wildlife populations' decline.
D．Challenges of protecting wild animals.
（3）What does the underlined word "jarless" mean in Paragraph 4？

220551. （2016•七十中•高二下二月） The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags．Only the basic flags of Austria，Denmark，Great Britain，the Netherlands，Sweden，and Switzerland are older．
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States，the flags of various European nations were flown over the land，as symbols of possession．Later，in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods，flags representing famous persons，places，and events were flown in the American Colonies．
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14，1777．It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue，representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776．Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795 to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union，Vermont and Kentucky．
By 1817，there were 20 states in the Union，and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag．As a result，Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star．In 1912 President William H．Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars．He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each．Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy．
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States．After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959，the flag was officially changed for the 26th times since its creation．There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag．Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies．Each state in the Union has an official flag．The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling．
（1）The basic flag of the United States is        ．
A．the oldest national flag in the world．
B．one of the world's oldest flags．
C．the most beautiful flag in the West．
D．as old as the basic flags of some European nations．
（2）The first official flag of the United States was adopted        ．
A．before the Independence War
B．right after the Independence War
C．in the following year of the Independence War．
D．when independence was declared in 1776
（3）The 13 red and white stripes and 13 white stars represent        ．
A．13 independent states
B．the colonies that declared independence in 1776
C．the U．S．Congress
D．13 famous figures in the American colonies
（4）Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818？
A．The American people suggested it．
B．Congress insisted 13 is the best number．
C．That was a decision President Taft had made．
D．Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag．

205426. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete．Several years ago，it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality （道德） or religion．
   Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial，among many cases，it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．Moreover，cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own．
   Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned，so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．
   However，arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily，I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life．There would be a large number of same genes，which reduce the chances of evolution，since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment，which will result in ultimate disappearance．Furthermore，cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus，leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and，chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society．
   Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool"．
   Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent．We should try to look at all "shades" of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs；not humans．Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life"．It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．

（1）What's the author's opinion on cloning？
A．Cloning should be entirely banned．
B．Cloning should be used in creating life．
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．
（2）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？
A． $德优题库$ B． $德优题库$
C． $德优题库$ D． $德优题库$
（3）Where is the text probably from？
A．A story book．
B．A magazine．
C．A science fiction．
D．A novel．

205453. （2020•西安中学•高二上期末） A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK．
   The documentary，titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough？focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire．
   The teachers instruct the students for a month．The pupils are then tested，and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system．The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance．
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students．A clip from the documentary online shows some problems，with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline，while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy．
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK，with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline．Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking．For instance，Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters．They should inspire students，helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature．This is a higher level of teaching．
  Yang Dongping，dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute，says， "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority．Foreign teaching methods，however，are more natural and relaxing，and designed to inspire students' interest in learning．Education methods are based on culture．That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place．"
   Yang Dongping says， "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods．Nobel prize winner，Yang Zhenning，gave a very fair comment on this issue．He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively，helping them reach high standards．However，it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students．"

（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens？
A．To test the intelligence of the UK teens．
B．To help the school improve their teaching efficiency．
C．To do some practical research into the UK education system．
D．To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods．
（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word "harsh" in the fourth paragraph？
A．Extremely strict
B．Quite friendly
C．Rather cold
D．Very attractive
（3）According to Yang Dongping，Chinese teaching methods        ．
A．fit all countries
B．could be improved
C．are the best in the world
D．are not as good as British methods

205508. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina，but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world．Denmark now gets 47% of its electricity from wind，and there will be more to come，thanks to a combination of history and policy．
   Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century．So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest．Since the 1970s，Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country．In the 1980s，due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants，Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it．
   Even back in 2002，Denmark took climate change warnings seriously．They drew up policies，aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%，which they did via renewable energy investment．Some of the world's largest companies in the field-including Vestas，which builds turbines（涡轮机），and Orsted，which specializes in offshore wind projects-are Danish，so the country has an impact beyond its borders．
   The huge impact of Denmark's wind industry is important．But Denmark is a small country，so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable，it's also minor in terms of entire global impact．
   While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5，758 megawatts （MW） of capacity，Spain's 23，000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country．China is the leader in wind energy at 221，000 MW，and the U．S．is the second in the world at about 96，000 MW．
   At the end of 2019，lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%．

（1）What can we know about Denmark？
A．It is a leader in solar energy．
B．It is a pioneer in clean energy．
C．It is a victim of climate change．
D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy．
（2）What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects？
A．Indifferent．
B．Ambiguous．
C．Positive．
D．Opposed．
（3）Which country produces the most wind energy in the world？
A．Denmark．
B．China．
C．The U．S．
D．Spain．
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Almost Half of Denmark's Electricity Comes from Wind Power
B．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel Projects
C．Denmark Has a Great Effect on World's Wind Power Equipment
D．Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable Power

205961. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） LONDON（Reuters）--Organic fruit，delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers，and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible，the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
"Organic produce is always better，"--Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides（农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty．"Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting，and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce？Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market，"said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business．

205979. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

205999. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．
When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print．The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation．Many more newspapers were started，representing all kinds of political opinions，and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs．Growth continued in every state．By 1814 there were 346 newspapers．
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker．It had to be paid in full and in advance．This cheap，interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading，which is now taken for granted．
（1）The main force to affect public opinion in America for America's independence was        ．
A．different kinds of newspapers

C．Because it published a large number of newspapers．
D．Because never before was one newspaper published．
（3）Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published？        ．
A．Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time．
B．Because only the British Library had the right to publish it．

206027. （2016•长安区一中•高二下期末） On May 3，2002，archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC．Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior．There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat．He carried a copper knife on his breast．The most amazing find was two gold earrings．That would have made him a man of distinction．Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay，tools and materials to make arrows，a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second，smaller copper knife．Next to them lay a cushion stone，upon which the man could work metal．
His grave is the richest of any found from that period，because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）．Besides，he was buried three miles from Stonehenge．Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge．
Stonehenge was begun around 3，000 BC．In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built．The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons．But the smaller blue stones，still weighing 4 tons on average，came from west Wales．It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km．It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries．
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain．In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age．

206054. （2016•七十中•高一下期末） It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia．EL Nino，referring to the Christ son in Spanish，was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas．EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．El Nino lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions，warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds bring early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms no longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．El Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，El Nino was stronger than usual．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry，forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2，000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over 3，000，000，000．It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．
