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
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

205944. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） In Africa，wild baboons（狒狒） like banding together to find food and protect each other．They may not be the smartest species，but like all animals，survival instincts（本能） are programmed into their DNA．They know that being together makes them safer．
Now think about your school．Sure，no one is trying to eat you alive，but you too are a social animal．And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment．From day one，you sense that there's safety in numbers．And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs，you feel more secure．"When I first walked into my new high school last year，I was so nervous，"says Mike，15，a high school student in New York City．"Everyone sat and walked together，in twos or threes-sometimes as a'group' of five or more people．I didn't understand how I would ever belong．"
Mike isn't alone．In a survey，63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular，and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups．
It is believed that to be popular is to be liked．But all popular people aren't necessarily liked．They just make rules．Popular groups aren't the only ones making rules．Zoe，a freshman from New York，says that even her close crew，which calls itself the"booknerds（书呆子），"has unspoken guidelines．When Zoe wears makeup or a dress，her friends act like she's betrayed them："They'll say，'Oh，she's painting her nails．She's a popular girl now．'They're joking，but they're not，if you know what I mean．It makes me upset．"
"Because of the way the teen brain works，differences are seen as threatening，"says researcher Alexandra Robbins．"But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood．"
Take，for example，Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5．In high school，he was a"nerdy，awkward kid crazy about music．"Now he's successful and famous．Then there's Taylor Swift：Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her，she put her energy into songwriting．
（1）When Mike first came to his high school，he        ．
A．was excited to make new friends
B．was proud of his new pretty school
C．was pretty nervous about his coming exams
D．was worried about finding new companions
（2）Which of the following would the author most probably agree with？
A．Most of us like popular people．
B．Only popular groups make rules．
C．Being popular is important to students．
D．There are always some rules in a group．
（3）Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress，her friends        ．
A．praise her
B．appear unhappy
C．are proud of her
D．are envious of her
（4）Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student？
A．She was very popular．
B．She had many friends．
C．She was devoted to her hobby．
D．She was one of the coolest kids．

205962. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） Easter（复活节） is still a great day for worship，randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies．
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The culprit is climate change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US．
Take the Lower Keys March rabbit，for instance．An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys，this species of cottontail is a great swimmer-it lives on the islands!-but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels．According to the Center for Biological Diversity，an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat （栖息地） completely．
The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color issue．Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer，each designed to give them better cover from predators（捕食者）．As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country，however，more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators．Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight，but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question．The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down．
American pikas or rock rabbits，a relative of rabbits and hares，might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change．About 7-8 inches long，pikas live high in the cool，damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains．As global temperatures rise，they would naturally migrate （迁徙） to higher ground-but they already occupy the mountaintops．They can't go any higher．The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem．These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico，and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters，but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher，so they are stuck in the middle．Scientists are concerned about their populations．
Native to the US，pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West．They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world．Their habitats have been destroyed by development．Several populations，such as the Columbia Basin pygmy，almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs．Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators，but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed．
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter．
（1）The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to        ．
A．show the importance of Easter Day
B．remind people of Easter traditions
C．introduce the issue about bunnies
D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
（2）The word"culprit"（ Paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to        ．
A．producer
B．judge
C．victim
D．criminal
（3）Which best describes the writer's tone in the postage？
A．Concerned．
B．Approving．
C．Enthusiastic．
D．Doubtful．

206028. （2016•长安区一中•高二下期末） "You're going to the United States to live？How wonderful!You're really lucky!"Does this sound familiar？Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home．But does it seem true all the time？Is your life in this new country always wonderful and exciting？A great many factow that it's not easy for newcomers to adjust to life in a new culture．They have to experience culture shock．
What causes culture shock？Maybe the weather is unpleasant．Perhaps the customs are different．Perhaps the public service systems such as the telephone，post office，or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes．The simplest things seem difficult．The language may be difficult．The food may seem strange to you．If you don't look similar to the natives，you may feel strange．You may feel as if everyone is watching you．In fact，you are always watching yourself．
Everyone experiences culture shock in some form or another．But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people．A lot of the time，the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries．They were active and successful in their community．They had hobbies or pastimes which they enjoyed．When they come to a new country，they do not have the same positions or hobbies as they already had in their countries．They find themselves without a role，almost without an identity．They have to build a new self image．
Culture shock produces a feeling of disorientation （晕头转向），which may be homesickness，imagined illness，or even paranoia （妄想症）．When people feel the disorientation of culture shock，they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time．They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment．They want to create an escape within their room to give themselves a sense of security．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term，but it does nothing to familiarize the person more with the culture．Familiarity and experience are the long term ways to settle the problem of culture shock．

B．Those who have got rid of culture shock．

212589. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中） We journalists live in a new age of storytelling，with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don't even realize it's new.For them，it's just normal.
   This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures- a perfect match for his age.
   Picture this：my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read，he reaches out and pokes（戳）the page with his finger.
   What's up with that？He just likes the pictures，I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused：Is there something wrong with this kid？
   Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that.
   Sorry，kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It's an outdated，lifeless thing.An antique，like your grandfather.Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites.
   There's one notable gap in my new-media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing，Tianjin and Hebei province.
   Anyway，grandpa is now an internet star- two minutes of fame!I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

（1）What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2？

212590. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中） An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle，a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
   Salah Sukkarieh，a professor at the University of Sydney，sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape，color and texture （质地）of grass.That way，cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
   Machines have largely taken over planting，watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat，but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
   For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds，it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds，who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago，still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
   Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris，vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association，said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen，making them appealing targets.

（1）What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？
A．Soil pollution.
B．Lack of workers.
C．Aging machines.
D．Low profitability.
（2）What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？
A．Monitor the quality of grass.
B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Move cattle to another field.
D．Predict weather changes.
（3）Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle？
A．He wants to help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can do the job better.
C．He is inexperienced in using robots.
D．He enjoys the traditional way of life.
（4）How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？
A．Increase the value of cattle.
B．Bring down the cost of labor.
C．Make the job more appealing.
D．Keep cattle from being stolen.

212857. （2023•西安中学•高一上期中） It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyson.As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.
   Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me，"Mum，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."
   At the front of the supermarket，a charity（慈善）group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better，" he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up."Just take it，" she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."
   By now paramedics（急救人员）had arrived，and were attending to the injured woman.As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
   Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."
   At that，the old man started crying and said，"Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."
   The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

213475. （2023•长安区一中•高一下期中） A potato farmer，Cliff Young took part in a Sydney to Melbourne ultramarathon （超级马拉松） race in1983.Coached by his mother who was 81 at the time，Cliff Young started the marathon with work shoes and work clothes.
   Competing against world-class marathon runners who were backed up by big sports companies and spent hundreds of hours preparing for the race，Cliff Young's training method was just running after hieep.He told the organizers he could run after hieep for a few days and that he could surely compete with other runners.
   The ultramarathon generally took 5 days to compete and this potato farmer's decision seemed suicidal.In fact，some tried to stop him from running the super-difficult race because they thought Cliff Young could die because of the heat and fatigue（疲劳）.After all，he was 61 years old!
   To cut the story short，Cliff Young managed to finish the race.While the young racers slept，he continued to race throughout the night.The young athletes left him far behind until the very last night where he finally led the marathon.Not only did Cliff Young，a 61-year-old potato farmer，survive the race，but he even managed to win the marathon and actually broke the race record by 9 hours!He even gave away his prize money to the rest of the runners after him.
   After the win，he continued to run in many ultramarathon races and even set standards in the world of endurance racing.His running style，named "The Young Shuffle" is a famous running technique used by many runners in the world today.

213629. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期中） An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight．But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there，and I am proud to be the one to hold it．About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard，and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer．But after a page or two I found myself reading，really reading．Here was-here is-a masterpiece in which every sentence counts，a book packed with significant thought and beautiful，arresting phrases，the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist．
   To appreciate the rich variety of Mr．Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry．But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his power．Here are combined and blended（混合的） sort of "realism" and almost lyric（抒情的） imagery and rhythm．The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents；they fall in love，marry，work，fail，succeed，and die．But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars，Mr．Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose（散文） without violating its proper "other harmony．"
   Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers （Mr．Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first）：
   Where was he？One tiny upright speck of flesh，less than an ear of wheat lost in the field．He could not bear it．On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him，so tiny a spark，into extinction，and yet，almost nothing，he could not be extinct．Night，in which everything was lost，went reaching out，beyond stars and sun，stars and sun，a few bright grains，went spinning round for terror，and holding each other in embrace，there in the darkness that outpassed them all，and left them tiny and daunted（气馁）．So much，and himself，infinitesimal，at the core a nothingness，and yet not nothing．
   Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story．I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you．Some are enthusiastic and impressive，like the paragraph above；others are keen， "realistic" observations of things and people．In one of his books Mr．Lawrence makes a character say，or think，that life is "mixed．" That indicates his philosophy and his method．He blends the accurately literal and trivial（琐碎的） with the extremely poetic．
   To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision，we must go back to two older novelists，Hardy and Meredith．I do not mean that Mr．Lawrence derives（源于） immediately from them or，indeed，that he is clearly the disciple（弟子） of any master．I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature（名望） of Hardy and Meredith，and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company．When I first tried to express this comparison，this connection，I was contradicted by a fellow-critic，who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr．Lawrence cannot resemble both．To be sure，nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons，nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another．An artist's mastery consists in his difference from other masters．But to refer a young man of genius to an older one，at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality，is a fair，if not very superior，method of praising him．

（1）The underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        ．
A．meaningful
B．unnecessary
C．fundamental
D．unbelievable
（2）What does the author want to illustrate by including one paragraph from Sons and Lovers？
A．The plot of the novel has little to do with daily life．
B．It is wise to read Lawrence's books from the end．
C．Lawrence is capable of telling good stories．
D．The language in Lawrence's books is elegant．
（3）Who were Hardy and Meredith？
A．They taught Lawrence literature when he was young．
B．They were the realistic novelists of Lawrence's time．
C．They were novelists who resemble each other in writing．
D．They were novelists combining details with imagination．
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To introduce Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers．
B．To show his experiences of reading classics．
C．To analyze Lawrence's writing characteristics．
D．To compare the styles of different novelists．

213867. （2021•西安中学•高三上期中） I was in Houston a few weeks ago，and needed to be back home in Austin by midmorning the next day.Though I usually left in the evening，for some reason last time I had to choose to set off after midnight.
   I was on my way back to Austin when I realized I left an important file，and knew I had to return to get it.I took the first exit I could，but when I rounded the corner，an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane.I swerved to avoid it，and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car.So I pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3：15 am.I've lived in urban areas most of my life.I'm fairly street-wise and don't become frightened easily，but I knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood.
   There was no one in Houston to pick me up.I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck.Soon a young man knocked on my driver's side window and asked if he could help me.Judging from his appearance，he was far from a mad man，but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me.So I lied to him.After a while，he asked again，but this time I politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute.He finally said， "Madam，you need help.A tow truck in Houston will arrive anywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never （which I knew was true），and you aren't going anywhere until you change your flat tire."
   After considering thoroughly，I got out.He looked surprised，but got right to work.He changed the tire，returned the seat to its place and said， "Thank you for letting me help you.You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me.Would it be okay if I gave you a hug？" When I recovered，I gave him a giant hug.I left with a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature.

   In September 2001，Professor?Richard?Wiseman?and?the?British?Association for?the?Advancement?of?Science created?a?project?called?LaughLab in?order?to?find?the?world's?funniest?joke.And in one year，LaughLab?received?more?than?40，000?jokes.The?following?joke?is?considered the world's funniest joke by LaughLab：
   "Two hunters are out?in?the?woods when?one?of?them?falls?down.He doesn't seem to be breathing.The other man?calls?the?emergency?services.He?says， 'My?friend?is?dead!What?can?I?do？' The operator says， 'Calm down.I can help.First，let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence，and then a shot is heard.Back on the phone，the guy says， 'OK，now what？'"
   If you decide you must share a joke or two in another country，ask the opinion of your interpreter first.Otherwise，the?joke?may?be?on?you.
