204556. （2023•鄠邑区•高一上期末）     You may not like it，but learning English is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed abroad.Not just that，you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency（精通） tests：the IELTS or the TOEFL.
   Which test you should take depends on your goal.The TOEFL remains the top exam in the U.S.But the IELTS is gaining ground in the U.S.and it has already been the preferred test in the U.K.and Australia.There are also differences in the test themselves.They both measure the four main language requirements：speaking，reading，writing and listening.However，the tests are very different in their forms and methodology. "Compared with the TOEFL，the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp of the language and ability to use it，rather than simply being well prepared for the test，" explained IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.
   The key reasons for this are that the IELTS test requires fill-in answers besides multiple choice（选择题），and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. "The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for real-life communication，which shows real academic（学业的） and workplace situations， " said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.
   What scores do I need？For the IELTS，a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs.For top schools，you will probably need at least a 7.When it comes to the TOEFL ，there is a range.It all depends on the colleges.Ordinary schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60.For a top-tier university，on the other hand，you will need to score upward of 100 points on your TOEFL.

（1）What does Paragraph 2 suggest？
A．The TOEFL score is preferred in Australian universities.
B．Universities in the U.K.mainly see students' IELTS scores.
C．The IELTS is more widely accepted than the TOEFL by US.School.

（1）段落大意题。根据第二段中The TOEFL remains the top exam in the U.S.But the IELTS is gaining ground in the U.S.and it has already been the preferred test in the U.K.and Australia.（托福仍然是美国的首选考试，但雅思在美国的地位正在上升，它已经成为英国和澳大利亚的首选考试。）可知，英国的大学主要看学生的雅思成绩。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段中Compared with the TOEFL，the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp of the language and ability to use it，rather than simply being well prepared for the test，" explained IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.（雅思考官Julian Fisher解释说："与托福考试相比，雅思考试要求你真正掌握语言并有能力使用它，而不是简单地为考试做好准备。"）以及第三段中The key reasons for this are that the IELTS test requires fill﹣in answers besides multiple choice（选择题），and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer.（其主要原因是，雅思考试除了多项选择题外，还要求考生做填空题，而且口语部分是由真正的考官完成的，而不是电脑。）可知，雅思考试需要考生真正地掌握语言，而不仅仅是应试技巧，因为雅思考试中不仅有选择题，还有填空题，而托福考试中没有填空题的设置。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段中The face﹣to﹣face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for real﹣life communication，which shows real academic（学业的） and workplace situations， " said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.（高级考试营销官庞帅说："与受过英语培训的人进行面对面的面试，可以在现实生活中进行交流，展现真实的学术和工作环境。）可知，庞帅认为面对面的面试对一个人的学习和工作都有帮助。故选B。

212801. （2025•二十六中•高二下期中）     A new study，led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University （ARU），found the benefits of letter-spacing and coloured overlays （涂层） among a group of dyslexic （诵读困难的） and non-dyslexic children.It discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups of children.On average，the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed，while the comparison group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase in reading speed.
    The study involved 59 children aged between 11 and 15，32 of whom had dyslexia，with 27 non-dyslexic children forming a control group.The participants were from six UK schools in Cambridgeshire，Hertfordshire and London.
    Participants read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter-spacing，both with and without a coloured overlay.The children were instructed to read these texts out loud while being recorded.The recordings were used to measure the number of errors they made —specifically missed words，added words，wrong words，and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.
    In addition to improving reading speed of children with and without dyslexia，the larger letter-spacing also resulted in a significant reduction in the number of words being missed by the children with dyslexia.Dr Stagg said， "We believe that extra-large letter-spacing reduces what is known as the 'crowding effect'，which can prevent the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed."
    When viewed in the context of previous research，the findings strongly suggest that teaching professionalould be confident that all children will be helped by increased letter-spacing in reading materials.It's a relatively simple change for teachers to make when they produce handouts and exercises，and children with dyslexia won't feel singled out by the introduction of specially adapted reading materials，as this change is something that everyone can benefit from.
    The study showed colored overlays didn't affect reading speed or error reduction in children.Despite this，Dr.Stagg recommends using them，as they might improve reading stamina （耐力）.

（1）What does the new study focus on according to Paragraph 1？
A.The features of dyslexia.
B.The gap in children's reading ability.
C.Ways of examining children's comprehension.
D.Certain factors helping improve children's reading ability.
（2）What did the researchers do during the study？
A.They asked children to document the reading material.
B.They taught children some reading skills.
C.They studied the recordings of children's reading.
D.They observed children's performances in class.
（3）How are children with dyslexic affected by the "crowding effect"？
A.They may read materials faster than usual.
B.They may make more mistakes when reading.
C.They are forced to reflect on themselves more.
D.They are willing to spend more time reading.
（4）What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 5？
A.The significance of previous dyslexia children research.
B.The necessity of paying attention to children with dyslexia.
C.The suggestions and expectations from teaching professionals.
D.The practicability and benefits of specially adapted reading materials.

203842. （2024•周至六中•高一上期末）     As you probably know，learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging.But it can also be fun.Learning to speak a second language opens doors to new opportunities，helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.
    It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium.Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options.There are some reasons for this，including many students' opinion that languages are difficult.Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.
    Matthew Fell，chief UK policy director for business group the CBI，believes that "The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed，or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world."
    Some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue.Cassandra Scott，from Edinburgh，studied three languages in her final year at school.She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh，and says "Learning languages at school really set the course for my career."

（1）How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languages？
A.By offering background information.
B.By giving specific examples.
C.By analyzing underlying reasons.
D.By showing personal research.
（2）What does the underlined word "reversed" in paragraph 3 mean？
A.Developed rapidly.
B.Pushed quickly.
C.Changed completely.
D.Maintained properly.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A.A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.
B.Learning languages at school may contribute to one's future career.
C.Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.

204278. （2023•阎良区•高二下期末） Nobel prize winners，well-known authors，and famous scientists- you might think all these people were born to be creative.However，that's not always the case.
   While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers"- people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
   This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States. "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively（独有地） associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you' re talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
   According to the .study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual（概念的） and experimental thinkers.
   To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks.
   Some peaked from ages 25-29.Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
   The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s.These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time.This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions.
   "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg.He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative subjects.So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic.Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.

（1）What does the author indicate by mentioning Robert Frost in paragraph 2？
A．Some people stand out in their later life.
B．Robert Frost is a famous natural scientist.
C．It's better to be late bloomers in literature.
D．Creativity makes a difference to success.
（2）How did the researchers draw the conclusion：there are two types of creative people？
A．By referring to some data.
B．By doing some experiments.
C．By interviewing some creative people.
D．By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
（3）What can we learn about conceptual thinkers？
A．They owe their success to life experience.
B．They adopt common scientific approaches.
C．They follow a new pattern of thinking.
D．They learn from errors and experiments.
（4）What does Weinburg probably agree with？
A．Creative peaks never come for some.
B．The older，the less likely to succeed.
C．Most people prefer conceptual thinking.
D．Great creativity can arrive at different stages.

217830. （2024•西安八十五中•高二上一月）     All authorities on the style of English essays agree that good writing is brief.Careful writers say what they mean in as few words as possible.
    A classic statement of this principle appears in the famous little book of William Strunk，Jr.，and E.B.White，The Elements of Style ："Vigorous（有力的） writing is brief.A sentence should contain no unnecessary words，a paragraph no unnecessary sentences，for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts."
    It follows that any words which perform no useful function in the sentence—that is，which add nothing to the meaning—should be edited out.
    Almost every text that has been translated into English from Chinese，（or that has been written directly in English by a native speaker of Chinese） contains unnecessary words Draft translations are commonly full of them，and even polished final versions are rarely free of them.
    Read anything that has been published in English for foreign readers—a magazine article，a news story，an advertisement—and you are likely to find unnecessary words.Re 'even the shortest of English texts—the label on a food product，a billboard on the street，'：company name on the front of a building—and，if you are on the alert to recognize the chances are that you will find words that could and should have been left out.Unnecessary words are the typical quality of Chinglish.
    Unnecessary words can be any part of speech—nouns，verbs，adjectives，adverb prepositions，articles（冠词），and so on.In the following chapters we shall consider the 'important types，starting with unnecessary nouns and verbs，which often go hand in he

A.Unnecessary words is a common issue.
B.Only Chinglish contains unnecessary words.
C.Readerould be careful about unnecessary words.
D.Polished sentences could avoid unnecessary words.

205509. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） A recent study conducted by researchers from Canada's Wilfrid Laurier University found that the snakes actively seek out socialization with their peers （同伴），but also they are extremely particular about who they spend time with．However，snakes used to be thought of as solitary animals．They are seldom seen hanging out in groups．
   A team of researchers led by Morgan Skinner and Dr．Noam Miller selected 40 non-poisonous garter snakes （袜带蛇）．Ten were purchased from a snake keeper and the rest were caught in the wild．After marking each snake with a spot of color to allow for easy identification，the researchers placed ten snakes inside each of the four plastic shelters．
  Skinner photographed each snake group twice a day before removing them from their shelters．After cleaning the areas thoroughly to rid them of any familiar smells，the reptiles were rearranged into different groups，and returned to the enclosure．A camera fixed over the shelters allowed the scientists to track the animals' movements for a total of eight days．
   When Skinner and Miller analyzed the images，they found that regardless of where they were placed，the snakes always slipped back to their original "friends" forming groups of three or eight inside the small shelters． "They can tell others apart，" Miller said．
   Gordon Burghardt，a biologist，says， "The study should help convince people that snakes have more social intelligence than most of us realize．"
   Miller believes the research could help with snake protection efforts．Endangered snake species relocated to safer habitats often leave these areas．Now，conservationists may be able to avoid that by transferring entire snake groups to the new location．Alternatively，they could also spray（喷洒）the new habitat with the species' smells to make transplants feel at "home．"

（1）What does the underlined word "solitary" mean in paragraph 1？
A．Causing fear．
B．Existing only in small numbers．
C．Causing death or illness．
D．Enjoying being alone．
（2）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．The findings can contribute to snake conservation．
B．Snakes like to spray smells on the trees．
C．Snakes are easy to adapt to new locations．
D．Snakes tend to stay in safer habitats．
（3）Which of the following proverbs can be used to describe the findings？
A．Barking dogs don't bite．
B．The early bird catches worms．
C．Things of one kind come together．
D．A friend in need is a friend in deed．
（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？

205527. （2020•蓝田县•高三上期末） Almost like a clock tower，a town in the western highlands of Guatemala has been able to practically tell the time by the regular eruptions of a local volcano.In the town of Quetzaltenango，volcanoes have erupted so frequently that they have nearly marked every passing hour of every day for 96 years.
   The source is Santiaguito，one of the world's most active volcanoes.It is situated at the base of the large volcano Santa Maria.It took shape about twenty years after the violent eruption of Santa Maria in 1902.
   "Since then，almost continuous small explosions have happened along with the growth of Santiaguito，" says Stephanie Grocke，a volcanologist. "There has not been a long period of time since 1922 when Santiaguito was quiet."
   Scientists are trying to figure out what is causing the regular activity at Santiaguito.Grocke adds. "What we know for sure is that magma（岩浆） and gas are steadily rising from deep within the system，allowing the volcano to continuously show signs of life，" Grocke says.
   A possible explanation is that before an explosion，the vent，or opening，at the top of Santiaguito is closed，trapping hot gases and magma below.As the gas builds up，the pressure increases and eventually tears through the tops sealed vent，letting out the gases and sending magma and rocks skyward.Santiaguito eventually runs out of fuel，causing eruptions to stop.The materials that were sent out cover the top，reclosing Santiaguito's vent and starting the process over again.
   The sizes of the eruptions are never the same，Grocke say.Most often，they tend to small，producing mainly ash plumes（火山灰） that can reach a height of nearly 1，640 feet，lava flows that travel about two miles from the top.However，there are some eruptions they are very hazardous.
   "At times，larger explosions happen，producing ash plumes that rise less than kilometers above the vent." Grocke ways.Such cases can result in hot fast moving flow made up of gas，ash，and rock，which can be deadly to local communities.Volcanic mudflow are also another serious risk.

（1）When did Santiaguito form according to the text？
A．Around 1806.
B．Around 1902.
C．Around 1922.
D．Around 1942.
（2）Which of the following about Santiaguito have scientists understood？
A．When the volcano stops erupting
B．Why the regular activity changes
C．What is happening inside the volcano
D．How fast the magma and gas are rising
（3）What happens after Santiaguito erupts？
A．The vent is closed again.
B．Cooler gases are produced.
C．The fuel inside gradually increases.
D．More openings form at Santiaguito's top.
（4）What does the underlined word "hazardous" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？
A．Weak.
B．Dangerous.
C．Brief.
D．Similar.

205622. （2019•蓝田县•高二下期末） Dolphins are not fish，but warm-blooded animals．They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language．In this，they are like other animals，such as bees and birds．But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals．Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years．Like some animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around．They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food．We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw．
   Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people．
   There is a story about sailors in the 19th century．In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack．From 1871 to 1903，Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way．Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack．He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area--except for The Penguin．
   Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them．

205943. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） Visualization is closely related to positive thinking．It is used by athletes，musicians，actors，speakers，and others to improve their performance in stressful situations．How does it work？Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber：
Right before a big race，I'll picture myself running，and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind．Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in…behind someone，being pushed，different positions on the track，laps to go，and，of course the final part．And I always picture myself winning the race，no matter what happens during the event．
Of course，Huber doesn't win every race she runs，but research haown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance．It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright．
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech．Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak．See yourself at the lectern（放演讲稿的讲桌），self-assured，making eye contact（接触）with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm，clear voice．Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying．Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best．
As you create these images in your mind's eye，be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech．Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones．Acknowledge your nervousness，but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation．If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble，visualize yourself getting through it without any problems．And be specific．The clearer your mental pictures，the more successful you are likely to be．
As with your physical rehearsal（排练）of the speech，this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak．It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation．But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation．
（1）Huber's visualization of her races        ．
A．is detailed and thorough
B．is used during the event
C．is based on real pictures
D．is created with other runners
（2）According to the text，if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech，you should        ．
A．ignore the negative aspects
B．do the mental imaging later
C．imagine finishing it smoothly
D．create clearer mental pictures
（3）What do we learn about mental rehearsal？
A．It usually produces the desired results．

205668. （2018•西安中学•高一上期末） After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations - major food sources （来源） for the wolf - grew rapidly．These animals consumed （消耗） large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity （多样性） in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．

（1）What is the text mainly about？
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Tested．
B．Separated．
C．Forced out．
D．Tracked down．
（3）What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves？
A．Damage to local ecology．
B．A drop in the park's income．
C．Protection of vegetation．
D．An increase in the diversity of animals．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Unfavorable．
D．Uncaring．

205695. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） Summer heat can be dangerous，and heat leads to tragedy far too often．According to kidsandcars.org，an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US，when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle．
   For Bishop Curry，a fifth grader from McKinney，Texas，one such incident hit close to home．A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car．After hearing about her death，Curry decided that something needed to be done．Young Curry，who turned 11 this year，has always had a knack for inventing things，and he drew up a sketch（草图） of a device he called "Oasis．"
   The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car．If it reached a certain temperature in the car，and the device sensed a child in the car seat，it would begin to circulate cool air．Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology，which would alarm the child's parents and，if there was no response from them，the police．
   Curry's father believes that the invention has potential． "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new，" he said． "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster．" His father even introduced the device to Toyota，where he works as an engineer．The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan．
   In January，Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention．They hope to raise money to finalize the patent，build models，and find a manufacturer．Their goal was＄20，000，but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over＄46，000．
   Curry's father remembers the first time he saw his son's sketch． "I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution，" he said． "We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions．"

（1）What inspired Curry to invent Oasis？
A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car．
B．His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat．
C．The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car．
D．The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident．
（2）What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child？
A．It would inform the parents or even the police．
B．It would pump out the hot air in the car．
C．It would sound the alarm attached to the car．
D．It would get the window open to save the child．
（3）What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention？
A．It used some of the most advanced technology．
B．It simply combined technologies that existed．
C．It could accelerate production of new technology．
D．It is the most advanced among similar products．
（4）Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money？
A．To conduct experiments to test the invention．

205754. （2018•西安一中•高一上期末） The most popular PE class at Waukegan High School in Illinois，US，takes place in a basement field house．
It is the school's version of CrossFit，the difficult physical exercise that has exploded in popularity over the last 16 years at thousands of gyms．It has more than one million devotees（爱好者） and a professional competition shown on ESPN．
Schools around the Chicago area have adopted CrossFit to interest students at a time of a rising weight problem among young people，and most say it really works compared with traditional gym classes．
"I think it's a great way to teach kids lifelong fitness，especially those kids who aren't interested in hockey（曲棍球），soccer or basketball，"said the teacher，Tracy Haraf from Illinois' Stony Creek Elementary，which devotes half of its PE days to CrossFit exercises． "They think it's tough，but I think they have a lot of fun doing it．"
Senior Alexus Wiltz，18，said the workout had improved her performance on the basketball court．"I noticed I was faster．I paid more attention on the court，my defending was better，"she said after a recent class．"It just really helped me．"
But some doctors and researchers advise caution，saying the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries，particularly when performed by few inexperienced people．
Doctor Craig Finlayson at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said he was worried that while strength training is fine for kids，heavy weights could be trouble for teenagers who might hurt themselves by trying to do too much or using poor form．
CrossFit Inc，the company that certifies（证明） trainers and licenses gyms，disagrees that its program is more dangerous than other fitness routines．Gym teachers in Waukegan's Greg Moisio，whose two-campus school has about 73%kids taking CrossFit each day，also say the risk of injury can be reduced with proper teaching and CrossFit's flexibility（灵活性）．

205489. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） Churchill，Manitoba is a small town．The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay．It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers．
   It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight．The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619．That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area． "It was of good taste and did not disagree with us．" That's what Munk wrote in his journal．
   Over the years，the animals' coming has earned the town the name of "Polar Bear Capital of the World．" Today，Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population．There used to be about 7，000 residents but now only 813 living there．There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980．The town might have been in terrible financial hardships．But the growing bear tourism industry helped．
   Today，some 10，000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year．But the reasons why they come are different from before．Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears．Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears，Churchill Bears，are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out．So when the tourists come up，they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear，but they're also looking at a dying-out bear，which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different．Unfortunately，that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well．Come and see the bears before it's too late．

205879. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） Today just as technology changed the face of industry，farms have experienced an"agricultural revolution"．On the farm of today，machines provide almost all the power．
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer．A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently．The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant，how much livestock（家畜） to buy，when to sell their products，and how much profit they can expect．Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers．Programs are being written for pig producers，grain farmers，potato farmers，and dairy farmers．In the future，farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs．Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm，students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses．There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future．While the old-time farm depended on horse power，and modern farms depend on machine power，farms of the future will depend on computer power．
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot，a real"mechanized（机械的） hired hand"that will be able to move and，in some ways，think like a human being．Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century．Unlike farmers of the present，farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them．Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear（修剪） sheep，drive tractors，and harvest fruit．Even complex jobs will be done by robots．For example，in order to milk their cows，farmers must first drive them into the barn，then connect them to the milking machines，watch the machines，and disconnect them when they are finished．In the future，this will all be done by robots．In addition，when the milking is completed，the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure．The complete change of the farm is far in the future，but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long．

（1）Why are students at agricultural colleges required to take computer classes？
A．Because computers help them keep more accurate records．
B．Because they need to develop special computer programs just for farmers．
C．Because computers will be more and more important on future farms．
D．Because computer classes are more important than normal agricultural courses．
（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A．Computers are now used by many farmers to help run their farms．
B．Computers can help farmers to make better decisions and predictions．
C．Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms．
D．Farms may be totally changed in the coming years．
（3）What's the author's attitude toward the agricultural revolution？
A．Positive
B．Negative
C．Doubtful
D．Indifferent
（4）What is the best title for the whole passage？
A．Computer，Farmers' Best Friend
B．Farmers in The Future
C．Computers and Robots
D．The Agricultural Revolution．
