顽强的

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

204499. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期末）     Many years ago，I bumped into an old friend of mine.He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful.In his middle age，he seemed defeated and sad.
    I thought of his dogged （顽强的） perseverance.Was it smart or foolish？What could he have achieved？Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on？Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting.Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.
    We chant （反复喊着） "Winners never quit" and "If at first you don't succeed，try again." We lap up （欣然接受） stories of persistence，of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.
    Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success，but it does not reward every person.For every JK Rowling，there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published.For every Olympic athlete，there are innumerable （无数的） others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.
    We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise.So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea？We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak.We believe that perseverance is the key to success.Perseverance is only one part of success.You need talent or skill，as well as passion and drive.Luck and timing are also key to any great success.
    Our society believes that anything is possible，as long as you "believe".But not everyone can make it.Quitting when you're not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do.Obviously，if you enjoy a pursuit，regardless of its outcome，you should continue.If you knew your novel would never be published，would you want to write？If you could never be a champion swimmer，would you still train？Sometimes，it is wise to put your energy into something else.
    Failure is not always the path to success.Sometimes，failure is the door to something new.

（1）What do we know about the author's old friend？
A．He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.
B．He switched his dream of acting to something else.
C．He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.
D．He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.
（2）The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to        .
A．explain how she achieved success in writing
B．show that success doesn't happen to everyone
C．prove that success favors those who are perseverant
D．encourage readers to hold onto their dream until they succeed
（3）What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4？
A．Made out of their dreams.
B．Met the required standard.
C．Improved their performances.
D．Promised to be good players.
（4）What does the author advise us to do if we've failed many times？
A．Make an effort to try new things.
B．Stick to your goal until we succeed.
C．Wait for the right time and good luck.
D．Ask friends or family members for help.

[解析]

（1）推理判断题。根据第一段He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful.（他把一生都献给了表演，但从未获得过成功。）可知，作者的老朋友想成为一名成功的演员的努力都失败了。D．He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.（他想成为一名成功演员的所有努力都失败了。）符合文意，故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success，but it does not reward every person.For every JK Rowling，there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published.（坚持会得到成功的回报，但这并不会回报每一个人。对于每一个JK罗琳来说，都有成千上万的有抱负的作家永远无法出版自己的作品。）可知，作者提到JK罗琳主要是表明成功是不会发生在每个人身上的，故选B。
（3）词句猜测题。根据第四段Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success，but it does not reward every person.（坚持会得到成功的回报，但这并不会回报每一个人。）以及For every Olympic athlete，there are innumerable（无数的）others who trained every day of their lives and never...（对于每一位奥运会运动员来说，还有无数其他人每天都在训练，但从未…）可知，本段主要讲的是不是每个人都会成功，因此划线短语所在句子的意思是"虽然无数的奥林匹克运动员每天训练，但是却不成功"，也就是不一定会达到标准，划线短语的意思是"符合要求的标准"，故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Quitting when you're not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do.（当你没有领先的时候放弃有时候是最聪明的做法。）以及Sometimes，it is wise to put your energy into something else.（有时候，把你的精力放在其他事情上是明智的。）可知，如果我们失败了很多次，作者建议我们努力尝试新事物，故选A。

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

214607. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） If you are planning on travelling，there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey．
   First of all，always check and doublecheck departure（出发） time．It is surprising how few people really do this carefully．Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten．My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50．When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed．Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting．
   The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards（信用卡），it is still important to have some local money in cash（现金）．Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed．The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead． "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily．You can image how terrible I felt at that moment．
   The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave．I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day．

（1）Where is the writer most probably from？
A．Britain
B．The USA
C．Italy
D．Greece
（2）When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver，he        ．
A．asked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake（假的）money
D．tried to pay by credit card
（3）Generally，in May the weather in London is        ．
A．warm and dry
B．cold and dry
C．hot and wet
D．cool and rainy

218039. （2023•长安区•高三上一月）     We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel （柴油） vehicles.Many of the world's cities are blocked with traffic，creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides.The solution for a cleaner，greener future could be electric vehicles.But how optimistic should we be？There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.But is that easier said than done？
    The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.Currently，battery life is an issue —a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol.There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course，technology is always improving.Some of the biggest tech companies，like Google and Tesla，are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars.And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too.
    Colin Herron，a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology，told the BBC： "The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries，which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars." These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range.Cost is another issue that may discourage people from switching to electric power.But some countries offer incentive，such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes，and not charging for road tax and parking.Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on，overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.
    These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita （人均） at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future. "It's emission-free motoring，but the car has to be built，the battery has to be built，and the electricity does come from somewhere." Maybe it's time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.

（1）Which statement can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1？
A．Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
B．Probably it is hard to procure a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
C．We should not be too optimistic about the future.
D．It's not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
（2）What does the underlined word "incentive" mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Improvements.
B．Drawbacks.
C．Communications.
D．Bonuses.
（3）According to the passage，which opinion the author might agree to？
A．Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a "great leap forward".
B．There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
C．Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
D．Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.
（4）What is the most suitable title for the text？
A．Total Electric Traffic：a Long Way to Go.
B．Electric Power or Petrol：a Tough Decision to Make.
C．Petrol and Diesel Vehicles：a Main Source of Gases.
D．Electric Vehicles：a Road to a Modern Society.

217962. （2023•西安中学•高三上四月） Lately，I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s，when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing，public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills .The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view，with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.
   And that was a missed opportunity because young children are remarkable listeners.They take in words，ideas and speech patterns，quite often without our awareness.Yet somewhere along the way，we teach them to stop listening.Perhaps they would benefit from lessons in selective silence，concentration，while focusing on knowing how to process all incoming information.Sadly，to the best of my knowledge，no such programs are offered.
   We seem to spend less time actually listening to one another.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as a result of exposure to television，the Internet and all manner of hand-held wireless devices.We tend to be more self-absorbed and primarily focused on hearing ourselves talk rather than listening to others.
   I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone，except my 86-year-old aunt，was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered to get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another.We could just as easily have had an online get-together.
   Listening is indeed a rare and special talent，and one that takes a lot of practice.But once you have gotten comfortable with the technique，you might find your next face-to-face talk a whole lot more meaningful.Simply listening for nuances（细微差别） in conversation will provide so much more context and substance for the words you are hearing.Remember，in order to be interesting，you must first be interested.And in conversation，you are supposed to be listening，not waiting to talk.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward the class in the 1990s？
A．Objective.
B．Tolerant.
C．Favorable.
D．Prejudiced.
（2）What might be a reason that makes us bad listeners according to the author？
A．We have less time to communicate.
B．We have a sense of self-importance.
C．The rapid development of technology.
D．The lack of care and understanding for others.
（3）What can we learn about the author's family gathering a few years ago？
A．His aunt wasn't good at listening.
B．His aunt didn't like attending family gatherings.
C．His family members were engaged in hot discussions.
D．His family memberowed little interest in one another.
（4）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？
A．To lead a discussion.
B．To give a suggestion.
C．To provide a warning.
D．To make a comparison.

217897. （2024•华清中学•高二上一月） With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
   Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（开发） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on Mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
   The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Modern American society.
B．The creation of constitution.
C．The settlement of Europeans.
D．The exploitation of resources.
（2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？
A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
（3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？
A．Making relevant laws properly.
B．Conducting more scientific researches.
C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
（4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？
A．Opinion.
B．History.
C．Technology.
D．Environment.

217803. （2024•西安一中•高一上一月） Current Culture：Is Common Culture Alive？ The digitizing（数字化） and globalizing world is changing the working of culture.As some see it，cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit：people can no longer depend on those around them valuing any of the same music or films.Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as changing forms：it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks.
    The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today，that the culture is increasingly available everywhere you want it，and whenever you want it，not just in the two months after the movie or book came out.Cultural possibilities have multiplied （倍增） as a result，but the change also means fewer cultural moments.It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society.So what will it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture？
    For the enthusiasts （热衷者） of these changes，culture is not about popular artists or books，but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia，where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas，and makes connections across boundaries （边界） .It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have participated in such websites，but in totally different corners of them，have had a cultural experience in common.In fact，these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people，who build things together，share information，and forward articles back and forth.
    There are still more questions.What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation？Is there anything to defend and preserve（维护） in the passing cultural world，or is that only to favor pen over printing press，horse over automobile（汽车）？
    Up to now a growing quantity of culture has been globally spreading and developing.More individuals than ever have the chances to be makers of culture，even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common.What it means is this strange feeling：that of being more connected than ever，with one-click（点击） access to so much of the cultural harvest around the world，and yet，of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others，concerned only with ourselves.

（1）In Paragraph 1 the author indicates        .
A.the missing of common culture
B.the cultural diversity among people
C.the disadvantage in the digitizing society
D.the double standard of cultural evaluation
（2）It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that        .
A.people feel satisfied with the current culture
B.enthusiasts look for current culture from famous artists
C.disappearance of common culture is a problem to be solved
D.common culture may exit into websites that connect the world
（3）What is the author's attitude towards current culture？
A.Uninterested.
B.favorable.
C.Uncertain.
D.Critical.

217774. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
   How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
   This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
   It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．

（1）Why does the lion tamer use a chair？
A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skills．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．
（2）In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？
A．They feel puzzled over choices．
B．They hold on to the wrong things．
C．They find it hard to make changes．
D．They have to do something for show．
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？
A．Tolerant．
B．Doubtful．
C．Respectful．
D．Supportive．
（4）When the world is "waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to       ．
A．wait for a better chance
B．break your old habits
C．make a quick decision

217736. （2025•师大附中•高二下期末）     Are you a short video app user？If you are ，you will probably find yourself more familiar with 15-second sped-up snippets（加速的片段） of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms particularly Douyin and--TikTok， "Sped-up versions of tracks can help artists break through or go viral，although that initial success may not last， "a radio host said.This sped-up mode offers a faster route to the dopamine rush that social media aims to arouse，leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
    Watching everything at a sped-up pace seems like a good way to take in more content in a shorter time.However，what are the consequences？"So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing，fighting，timing and music，and speeding that all up just ruins it ， "a Reddit user commented.
    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs，not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators ：'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle（微妙的） emotions you put into the work， "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow，I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First，it's sped-up songs and movies；then gradually，it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test ， "a Chinese netizen said，Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks，I would think to myself， "How can I speed this up？"We already live in a fast-paced society，yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush？Some thingould not be sped up，like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down，control the usage of screens，and regain our patience.

（1）How does the Reddit user mentioned in the text comment on accelerating content？
A.It leads to people's addiction to social media.
B.It destroys the particular decisions of the creators.
C.It allows people to obtain more content in a shorter time.
D.It gives artists chances to break through or become popular.
（2）What is one of the results of the sped-up content？
A.Leading to a loss of patience with life.
B.Helping artists to achieve success.
C.Increasing the attractiveness of social media.
D.Allowing people to better enjoy movies and songs.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards sped-up content？
A.Critical
B.Neutral
C.Supportive
D.Indifferent
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A.To criticize people's addiction to short video apps.
B.To advocate regaining patience and concentration in creating.
C.To discuss the popularity of sped-up songs on social media.
D.To analyze the impact of sped-up content on people's patience and call for slowing down.

214609. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） When it comes to learning a foreign language，many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary．But this question never happens about their mother tongue，and yet，it was a foreign language once．However，among all the questions that new parents ask，no doctor has ever heard： "Will my baby be able to learn my language？" Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is： "no"．
   New words，and new ways of using old words，appear every day．Twenty years ago，who could have been able to understand a sentence like this： "Click here to download your digital book．"？Nobody．You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it．
   Sometimes，you have the word on the tip of your tongue…and it sticks there!But you do know this phenomenon（现象） and don't think that it is because of a bad memory．You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue．
   You need to learn only 2000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need．You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly．And before you consider buying into any method，be sure it is right for you．It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics（记忆群）．The first few words seem very easy to learn，so you buy the course，but then you discover quickly，though too late，that a dozen words later，it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it．

（1）From the first paragraph，we can infer that       ．
A．there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language
B．it is honest to answer "no" to a question you don't know

D．to pay more attention to your bad memory
（3）The author's attitude to mnemonics is       ．
A．supportive
B．neutral
C．opponent
D．indifferent
（4）The passage is mainly about       ．
A．using old words in a new way
B．learning new words from the context
C．finding a method to memorize vocabulary

   One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me．It gave the clothing sizes of each family member．I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves．I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，Megan，and three-year-old Meghan， "We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing．We'll shall what we have with them．"
   I filled a box with foods and clothes．While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things．Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their toys and games and put them together．Then she walked away．A few minutes later，she came back with Lucy，he much-loved doll．She put the doll on top of the other toys． "Oh，dear，" I said． "You don't have to give Lucy．You love her so much．" Meghan said， "Lucy makes me happy，Mummy．Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too．"
   I looked at Meghan for a long moment．She taught me a lesson．It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish（珍爱），isn't it？

214534. （2020•西安一中•高二下期中） Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese，as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites．The first，a World Natural Heritage，is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries（候鸟保护地）along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng，East China's Jiangsu Province．The second，the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou，East China's Zhejiang Province，was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site．
   China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017．It only took two years to successfully complete the process．The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area．It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world．The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea．The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species，especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos，go there to hunt for food during the migration season．The birds usually take a month to finish their migration．At about 10 days into their migration，they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey．
   Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application，the Liangzhu application was far more complicated．The application team spent six years making their dream a reality．A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site，which means the application and assessment（评定）process takes a longer time．The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China，which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago．The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China．
   With these two new additions，China now has 55 World Heritage sites，the highest number in the world．The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations（义务）．Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work．The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns．Meanwhile，the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers，some 14.3 square kilometers，makes protection a difficult issue to handle．Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure．Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts，so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation．

（1）What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries？
A．It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea．
B．It provides safe habitats for endangered species．
C．It's located along the coast of the Yellow River．
D．It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds．
（2）According to Paragraph 2，how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds？
A．By creating warm places to produce baby birds．
B．By preventing them from being killed by hunters．
C．By providing food supplies during their migration．
D．By curing the endangered birds after their journey．
（3）Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site？
A．It shows the long history of China．
B．It proves the wisdom of the people．
C．It witnesses the civilization of an age．
D．It reveals the food of the late Neolithic．
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly talking about？
A．The application success's promotion of tourism．
B．Chinese responsibilities after the successful application．
C．The two places' influence on Chinese history．
D．Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration．

218183. （2024•经开一中•高一下一月） Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy （常青藤）League universities.To our surprise，he wasn't excited as expected，but appeared extra calm.He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine.He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.
   Kwasi's success story is rare，but his reaction is not.After the admission letters arrive at home，students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person，which school would best prepare them for the future，and at which school they would be happiest.And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.
   But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university？Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings.But besides those advantages，many of these universities focus on graduate work and research，with undergraduates（本科生）taught mostly by part-time instructors.Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes.But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.
   Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job.This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide.A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty and thrive in society.It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years.So when you choose college，you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.

（1）What can we know about Kwasi Enin from paragraph 1？
A．He was from a very poor family.
B．He would choose the top university.
C．He was too excited to calm himself at the good news.
D．He considered his interests when choosing his university.
（2）What can you infer from paragraph 2？
A．Few students can be admitted to university.
B．Many students face the choices like Kwasi.
C．Top universities are the first choice for most students.
D．American students can afford their university by themselves.
（3）Which of the following can best explain the underlined word "thrive" in paragraph 4？
A．Fail
B．Succeed
C．Research
D．Work
（4）What should the best university be like according to the text？
A．Very large and have good instructors.
B．Small boarding schools with discussion-based classes.
C．It will offer the diploma to get the most highly paid job.
D．It will help continue to develop far beyond university years.

214516. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） On average，American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school，eight hours more that they did in 1981．They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet （芭蕾舞）．Involvement in sports，in particular，rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997：boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports；girls log half that time．All in all，however，children's leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%
   "Children are affected by the same time crunch （危机） that affects their parents，" says Sandra Hofferth，who headed the recent study of children's timetable．A chief reason，she says，is that more mothers are working outside the home．（Nevertheless，children in both double-income and "male breadwinner" households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively．In contrast，children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers．）
   All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids． "Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself，" says T．Berry Brazelton，professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured（unorganized）play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to handle their relationships with their peers，but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it．
   The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time" watching television．But that，believe it or not，was one of the findings parents might regard as good news．If they're spending less time in front of the TV set，however，kids aren't replacing it with reading．Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books，the children spent just over an hour a week reading．Let's face it，who's got the time？

（1）By mentioning "the same time crunch"（Line 1，Para．2）Sandra Hofferth means       ．
A．children have little time to play with their parents
B．both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
C．children are not taken good care of by their working parents
D．both parents and children have trouble managing their time
（2）According to the author a child develops better if       ．
A．he has plenty of time reading and studying
B．he has more time participating in school activities
C．he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D．he is free to interact with his working parents
（3）We can infer from the passage that       ．
A．extracurricular activities（after-class activities） promote children's intelligence
B．most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C．efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D．most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children

214515. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） I didn't know how to say no，and was afraid to tell people what I wanted．Instead，I got myself tangled （纠结的） in a web of obligations，anxiety，and white lies．
   The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing．I thought I knew how to say "no"-but couldn't remember the last time I had．Like a lot of people，I just wanted to be accepted，appreciated，loved-and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own．
I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do．I'd like to learn Spanish，write more fiction，and travel．These aren't huge，unrealistic goals．And yet，my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires．
   But recently，I decided I'd had enough．As an experiment，I began standing up for myself，even at the risk of alienating （使疏远） myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me．Several days ago，a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p．m．I was planning to hit the gym and then binge-watch Mad Men for the millionth time．I said， "Sorry，I've got things I want to do tonight．" She said， "That's fine．Maybe another time．" It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry．
   Saying "no" is so much easier．If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in，I'm polite but honest． "I'm sorry，I don't think that's really for me．" The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses．
   Learning how to say "no" has added several extra hours to my days，days to my weeks，and what feels like months to my years．I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search，or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know．Saying "no" has set me free．

（1）Why was the author afraid of saying "no"？
A．She didn't want to tell lies．
B．She wanted to make more friends．
C．She wanted to please every one．
D．She was always willing to help others．
（2）What was the bad point of being afraid of saying "no"？
A．She alienated many friends．
B．She was kept busy all day long．
C．She felt depressed now and then．
D．She had no time for her own hobbies．
（3）What was her friend's reaction when she said "no" to her？
A．Natural．
B．Painful．
C．Angry．
D．Disappointed．
（4）How did the author feel after she had learnt to say "no"？
A．Lonely．
B．Relaxed．
C．Confident．
D．Lost．
