204573. （2023•鄠邑区•高二上期末） When I was young，I read many kinds of books，including fairy tales.Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful.So，I believed I had to be beautiful if I wanted to become a great person.
   As I grew up，I began to realize outer beauty was not so important to make someone good.I remember a friend of mine，Janie，who was so beautiful that every classmate wanted to talk with her，but she was very arrogant （傲慢的）.
   She believed that she could do everything she wanted because she was so beautiful，but she lost friends one by one.My poor friend!But she learned a good lesson：inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.After she learned that，she changed her attitude and made friends again.
   Whenever I see TV advertisements，I feel that these things make us believe beauty is very important— especially physical attractiveness.Although we say that inner beauty is more valuable，we often look for plastic surgery to make us more beautiful.There seems to be a boom （流行） in plastic surgery.It is surprising to realize the number of people who try it is increasing day by day.
   We know good-looking guys usually get higher scores on job interviews.So，what is real beauty？I want to say that inner beauty is the real one because if someone has beauty in his soul，he looks like a really beautiful person.
   The beauty looked at with eyes doesn't last forever.Instead of concentrating on outer beauty，we should concentrate on inner beauty.The point is that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.So，if we make the effort to make our minds beautiful，we'll be happier.

CADB

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第一段When I was young，I read many kinds of books，including fairy tales.Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful.So，I believed I had to be beautiful if I wanted to become a great person.（当我年轻的时候，我读了很多种类的书，包括童话故事。大多数书都描写英雄是英俊的，女英雄是美丽的。所以，我相信如果我想成为一个伟大的人，我必须变得漂亮。）可知，作者小时候，通过读书了解到，书中的英雄都是长相好看的，即作者认为成功的人必须有好的长相。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段中I remember a friend of mine，Janie，who was so beautiful that every classmate wanted to talk with her，but she was very arrogant （傲慢的）.（我记得我的一个朋友，詹妮，她是如此美丽，每个同学都想和她说话，但她非常傲慢。）和第三段中But she learned a good lesson：inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.After she learned that，she changed her attitude and made friends again.（但她学到了一个很好的教训：内在美比外在美更重要。在她学会了这一点之后，她改变了态度，重新交到了朋友。）可知，詹尼对待想和她说话的同学很傲慢，这导致之后她的朋友一个接一个的离她而去。故选A。
（3）词义猜测题。根据第四段中Although we say that inner beauty is more valuable，we often look for plastic surgery to make us more beautiful.（虽然我们说内在美更有价值，但我们经常寻求整形，使我们更美丽。）可知，人们知道内在美的价值，但常常大家为了外在的美，而寻求plastic surgery，即通过plastic surgery让自己变得更美，可推知划线词此处指"整形"。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。根据最后一段The beauty looked at with eyes doesn't last forever.Instead of concentrating on outer beauty，we should concentrate on inner beauty.The point is that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.So，if we make the effort to make our minds beautiful，we'll be happier.（用眼睛看的美不会永恒。我们应该关注内在美，而不是外在美。重点是内在美比外在美更重要。所以，如果我们努力让我们的头脑变得美丽，我们会更快乐。）以及通读文章可知，文章的前三段通过作者生活中的故事，尤其是第三段提到朋友詹尼的举例，詹尼自认自己长得漂亮，对待朋友傲慢失去朋友。之后她意识到内在美才是美，身边朋友的失而复得，内在美才是重要的。充分表明内在美才是真的美。所以文章的标题可以为"内在美才是真的美"。故选B。

204164. （2023•周至四中•高二下期末）     Eight months after my father died，I saw some letters on top of my mother's coffee table.They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father's neat handwriting.I couldn't imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.
    "Would you like me to read them to you？"Mom asked with a hint of a smile.
    The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved，sick mother，leaving his wife and me，their newborn daughter，behind in Toronto，the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.
    Growing up，my father was my hero and protector，but he was also a man of few words，part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.
    I sat back while my mother read his letters to me，and thought，"Who is this guy？"My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say.He referred to my mother as "my dearest"and "my companion"who was always in his thoughts.In each letter，he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared，"You and your mother are my life."
    As children，we assume we know everything about our parents.But，sometimes，we find that they were and are people with various facets.
    My father was proud and stubborn，and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard.During their 58-year marriage，their stubbornness often led to conflict .So it was bittersweet to hear my father's youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful（留恋的） tone.I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time.After she finished reading the letters，I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils.Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts，he had filled the front and back of several pages.
    These letters are only part of their correspondence.My mother wrote back to my father.One day she will read those letters to me，which she's assured me.And just as with my father，they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.

（1）What kind of person did the author think her father was？
A．Violent.
B．Optimistic.
C．Sensitive.
D．Reserved.
（2）What can we know about the author's parents according to the text？
A．Her father worked in Italy.
B．They didn't get on well with each other.
C．They were identical in terms of stubbornness.
D．Her mother didn't reply to the letters from her father.
（3）What does the underlined word"facets"in Paragraph 6 most probably mean？
A．Divisions.
B．Dimensions.
C．Goals.
D．Interests.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A．A Different Father in Love Letters.
B．The Hidden Sides of My Parents.
C．In Memory of My Late Father.
D．Love Stories of My Parents.

204298. （2023•西咸新区•高二下期末）     When I was a kid，a sycamore （枫树） grew in front of my home.At the age of 10，I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch and lift myself into its embrace.Sometimes two or three of my friends would join me in the sycamore，or in the maple down the street，or Mrs.DiMarco's old peach tree，some of whose stout horizontal branches allowed us to sit shoulder to shoulder，eating sweet fruit.
    In my small town there are some kinds of trees，their branches spreading wide，open for business.But I have not yet seen a climber.Perhaps computer games have replaced tree climbing，or maybe the activity went the way of monkey bars，which came to be viewed as too risky and have largely disappeared from playgrounds.
    It is a sad loss.I have always believed that，since low-hanging branches provide no benefit to the tree，they must be meant for the child.Robert Frost understood this when he wrote：
    When I see baches （桦树） bend to left and right，
    Across the lines of straighter darker trees，
    I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
    My only disagreement with Frost is his inference that tree climbing is a gender-specific task.Both boys and girls make a joyful climb.
    The campus of the university where I teach has all sorts of trees.During a recent walk，I found myself bending under the branch of an immense spruce （云杉）.I grabbed the thing，and a moment later was sitting on a branch.Then the memories came flooding back.The old sycamore，the friends，and finally，the reluctance to return to earth when the parental call to supper came.
    I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the student calling to me from below.He asked what I was doing.I didn't waste time on explanations. "Come on up，" I said "The air's fine." But he only laughed and waved me off.He didn't know what he was missing.

（1）What does the underlined word "stout" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．Slim.
B．Bent.
C．Smooth.
D．Strong.
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．Why kids don't climb trees.
B．Why monkey bars are dangerous.
C．Why there is no business under trees.
D．Why kids are addicted to computer games.
（3）What does the author want to prove by mentioning Robert's poem？
A．Some branches of trees are useless.
B．Trees are intended for kids to climb.
C．Trees are a source of inspiration for poets.
D．Climbing trees is a unique right of boys.
（4）What did the author think the student had missed？
A．The explanations to his question.
B．The fresh air above the tree.
C．The pleasure of climbing trees.
D．The sense of safety on earth.

204535. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高二下期末）     Should we focus on our goal，or on the process？
    What happened to Brenda Martinez，a US Olympic runner，may provide us with the answer.She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics.Focusing on everything that would give her another chance，she quickly let go of what happened in the 800 m race and got back to her routine.A week later，she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio.Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team，she concentrated on the process.
    Generally，overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking，unethical （不道德的） behavior and reduced motivation.We see this happen in the real world all the time：someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring，and，in the worst case，he'll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition.These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
    Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them.For example，some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues".Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there.Dieters often experience this in what's called "yo-yo dieting" — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
    However，focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment，regardless of the ultimate outcome.It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts.For Martinez，this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800 m race，but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition，sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500 m race.
    Therefore，after you set a goal，it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal，and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.

（1）With a question at the beginning of the passage，the author intends to        .
A．enhance the persuasion
B．persuade readers to accept his views
C．provide convincing evidence
D．inspire readers to reflect on the topic
（2）Brenda Martinez's example shows that         .
A．it is important to set big goals
B．failure is the mother of success
C．focusing on the process can lead to success
D．opportunity favors the prepared mind
（3）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4？
A．Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B．Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C．In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D．It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
（4）According to the author，what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process？
A．Avoiding failure during the process.
B．Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C．Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D．Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.

204040. （2023•西安中学•高一下期末）     The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during Field Day in elementary school.
   Small for my age，and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast，I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.But Field Day，which focused on individual skills，was different.
   In the softball throw event，I got my first taste of sporting victory.Credit goes to the example of my first coach，my father.He lifted weights every morning at home.He bought us all baseball gloves and hats，and in the warm months，we spent hours playing catch.With the fall coming，our backyard football games began with passing practice.
   Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school，our entire student body was assigned to either the red team or the white team.Throughout the year，we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of The Committee of Games，accelerating my competitive fever.However，in girls' sports games at my school，I was no star.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.
   School sports did not bleed into the weekends，as they do today，but at home，playing tennis，skating，skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.
   During downtime，magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow，my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force （RCAF） exercises every day，a practice that continued into my marriage，when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
   So，though it shocks some of our friends，that early foundation evolved （进化） in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus，considered essential even on vacation.
   I still love reading and the arts，too.As far as I'm concerned，life is richest with my feet in both worlds.

（1）What does the underlined word "humiliation" mean in paragraph 2？
A．shame.
B．desire.
C．responsibility.
D．disappointment.
（2）What did the author owe her victory in the softball throw event to？
A．Her advanced sportswear.
B．Her confidence in her sports ability.
C．The sports talent passed on in her family.
D．The guidance and training offered by her father.
（3）Which word best describes the author's relationship with sports as an adult？
A．Cooperative.
B．Uneasy.
C．Inseparable.
D．Casual.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．My Inborn Interest in Sports
B．The Benefits of Physical Exercise
C．My Childhood Memories of Father
D．My Passion for Sports and Fitness

201986. （2023•新城区•二模） Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots.Her ancestors navigated（航行）the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars，the sun，the currents and the wind.It's not that she does it in a canoe without technology，but rather uses the natural technology around her.It's called Way finding，and was taught to her by her father.
   "My father was my foundation，my rock."she says of her first voyage with him from Oahu to Lahaina in a traditional canoe.He taught her how to read the stars，the ocean swells and how to use them to hold the course."Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when you are Way finding.You have to look at each and determine if they are rising or setting.You know this star and the direction it represents.If you can do that，you can use it as a tool to orient（确定方向）."Kala added.
   Kala Tanaka sailed the canoe in the ocean for up to three weeks.During the day，Kala used the sun until it hit a certain height.When she got closer to land，she looked for certain species of land birds and clouds that indicated there was land below.When Kala sailed she felt"I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe.We're a family."The longer voyage required Kala to spend hours studying the day and the night skies.It was demanding physical work.But it also had its moments of awe.For Kala，the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment.So when she was not sailing，she was teaching Way finding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on.
   It's easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day，to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us.But if we will take the time to look up，to see the stars and the sun，the way the clouds move，the miracle of life beneath and above us，we will discover something deep inside us，something that will always lead to happiness.

（1）How does Kala navigate the ocean in a canoe？

A．Finding Our Way
B．Navigating the Ocean

205153. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） Richard Turere walks through his family's farm just outside Nairobi National Park in Kenya.Goats，cows，and sheep eat grass peacefully on the farm while in the park nearby，lions wander leisurcly，living in peace with the livestock （家畜）. An extraordinary picture! How do livestock manage to live safely near these huge lions？It' s all due to this young man's brilliant invention-Lion Lights.
   Livestock is his family' s entire livelihood--which is why whenever lions attacked their goats，sheep，or cattle，it was disastrous.There seemed to be no good solution to the problem until Richard began working on it.After a lion killed his family's only bull，Richard started experimenting with ways to scare off the lions.His first two attempts--fire and then a scarecrow--were unsuccessful.But one night when he was walking around with a flashlight，he noticed that lions stayed away.That's when he realized：these big cats were afraid of moving lights!
   Then Richard--who'd taken apart and studied machines since he was very small—began experimenting.Despite his lack of any formal training in electrical engineering，he fitted a system of flashing LED lights on poles around the farm.The flashing lights，which he made from vehicle indicator flashers，car batteries，and a solar panel，tricked the lions into thinking the grounds were guarded，keeping the lions away.
   The word got out about the brilliant "lion-lights boy".Soon Richard was fixing the Lion Lights system for neighbors.Later，his invention won him a scholarship to Kenya's well-known Brookhouse International School.And when Richard was 13，he was invited to California to speak about his invention at a TED conference.These days，Richard still lives on his family's farm，and fixes the Lion Lights system for people all over Kenya，which functions efficiently.He dreams of becoming an airplane engineer and pilot，but he also works to arouse people's awareness about the need to support young Kenyan inventors like himself.

（1）What does "an extraordinary picture" refer to？
A．Eye-catching scenery.
B．Well-protected ecosystem.
C．Lions losing their nature.
D．Animals existing in harmony.

204621. （2023•高新一中•高二上期末） Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical.At home，his dad never listened to music，while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf.But last month he started to play the harmonica （口琴） on the streets of Bradford.People clapped，danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.Horam caught himself thinking："How，at the age of 79，do I come to be playing music to people on the streets？"
   The question preoccupied him，because，some years ago at a family gathering，Cavin，his eldest son，said： "You know what，Dad？It can't be coincidental.We must have got our musical abilities from you." Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments.He was surprised. "There can't be music in me，because I can' play!" he said.
   Eight years ago，Horam，a retired civil servant，was on his way back from a trip with his family.Gavin stopped at a music shop.He walked out and said： "Here you are.I bought this for you，Dad.It's a harmonica.I'll try to show you how to play a bit."
   They went to a session at their local pub.Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica，trying to make a sound that no one would hear.After six months，he was invited into the group.He discovered a talent for improvisation （即兴表演），responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. "I don't play by ear.I play by heart." Actually，Horam says： "My harmonica plays me—how I feel，what I am，what I've been."
   Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel "part of something much bigger" than himself. "At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking，mine is expanding，" he says. "Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do."

201653. （2025•高新一中•十模）     Nearly 40 years ago，at the start of my career，I drove through a summer rainstorm to buy a copy of Henry David Thoreau's Walden.Thoreau，a 19th-century naturalist and philosopher，offered a sense of balance as I managed journalism's tight deadlines with the need for a break.While I don't live in a woodland cabin，repeated readings of Walden have taught me mindfulness principles that remain as useful today as they were nearly two centuries ago.
    Although summer travel is a cherished tradition，I can't routinely seek mindfulness through distant getaways.Thoreau，who boasted about traveling "a good deal in Concord"，found inspiration close to home.Following Thoreau's lead，I try to make time each morning to scan the bird feeders outside my home.Just a few minutes of this routine lowers my stress level and leaves me calmer for the day ahead.
    Although Thoreau is best known for Walden，he also kept a journal that stretches to 14 volumes and some 2 million words.I long to practice journalizing as a kind of spiritual exercise in expressing the pulses and routines of life more fully.Although I'll never match Thoreau's diligence，I keep a small journal in my pocket，and having it near reminds me to notice little things.Journalizing helps me see my life as a story，slowing its pace so that I can engage more purposefully within each hour.
    Though often regarded as a loner，Thoreau was known to take people along on his hikes.A recent kayak（皮划艇） club activity reminded me that fellowship inspires collective respect and surprise.I wouldn't have spotted a turtle kayaking if another kayaker hadn't pointed it out.As I pursue mindfulness，fellow travelers' support shows me that the hunger for mental centeredness is a shared human condition.It's why Thoreau alternated between privacy and society，recognizing that they could mutually support his desire to live with attentive purpose.

（1）What inspiration did the author get from Thoreau in Paragraph 2？
A.Keeping relaxed in the writing.
B.Seeking insights in the familiar.
C.Identifying birds for scientific recording.
D.Finding mindfulness from distant traveling.
（2）Why did the author keep a journal like Thoreau？
A.To live his life with a goal.
B.To write as a form of reflection.
C.To develop himself to be diligent.
D.To polish his sense of journalizing.
（3）What does the author highlight in the last paragraph？
A.Finding partners in mindfulness.
B.Desiring attention from society.
C.Appreciating endangered species.
D.Treating mindfulness as an individual pursuit.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A.The reasons behind Thoreau's decision to write Walden.
B.Thoreau's commitment to mindfulness and its significance.
C.The author's experience of living in the wild like Thoreau.
D.The calming influence of Thoreau's words on the author.

201634. （2025•铁一中学•六模）     As a freelance （自由职业的） writer，the structure of my workday can often vary wildly.Sometimes，it feels as if I have too much to do —other days，too little.Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5，one thing remains constant：emails.
    About a year ago，I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting （分心的） than usual.When working on my computer，I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block.Even worse，during lunch or walks，that habit of checking would come with me，making my breaks an extension of the workday.
    The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image：the more unread emails，the more I felt I was failing.By quickly responding to everyone，I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills，so I could charge my phone，read my emails and carry on the endless cycle.
    However，speed doesn't always mean quality.I was always contactable —but at what cost？I took on too much work，not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work.The content machine kept running and I was busy，producing "word salad" onto the internet.Something needed to change.After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing，I deleted the email app.
    The difference was immediately noticeable.I began to rest better.Now，my workdays remain unpredictable，but I've realised that a lack of structure needn't stop me setting boundaries （边界） for myself.Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work.Taking a few hours to respond to messages —instead of just minutes —often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly.
    I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry，but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.

（1）How did the email-checking habit affect the author？
A.It caused him mental disorder.
B.It made his breaks less relaxing.
C.It kept him extremely impatient.
D.It changed the structure of his workday.
（2）Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly？
A.He wanted to avoid long working hours.
B.He sought high pay to cover electricity bills.
C.He desired to maintain a professional image.
D.He believed multitasking ensured employment.
（3）What does the author imply by mentioning "word salad" in paragraph 4？
A.He was far from productive.
B.He valued quality over quantity.
C.His work was creative and tasteful.
D.His work lacked meaningful content.
（4）What does the author learn after deleting the email app？
A.Email senders prefer thoughtful replies.
B.Social media is more important than email.
C.Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency.
D.Freelancerould get used to a fast-paced lifestyle.

201615. （2025•临潼区•二模）     Today is the first day that my family is living without a car，after 16 years of owning and driving one.Our blue Nissan Sunny has served us well over the past 10-years that it has been with us.However，we have decided that we will not be renewing the certificate for our vehicle，nor to purchase either a new or second hand car.
    This car is our third sedan（轿车）.I have been driving since 1998 when I first obtained my driving license.While we have encountered occasional incidents on the road，our driving journeys have been pretty pleasant.Let me go through the reasons why I am going car free.
    A car is a resource intensive way to travel.Beyond the manufacturing process，the usage of cars also consume lots of energy.And that leaves a huge carbon footprint.So not driving a car helps us to save the Earth.But the elephant in the room is definitely the financial cost of owning a car in Singapore.It costs around ＄365，000 to own a brand new BMW 316 i over a 10 year period in Singapore.Moreover，driving in Singapore is a stressful experience.We don't exactly have the best behaved drivers in the world.
    Undoubtedly，not having a car does bring about inconveniences.Those with young kids and elderly folks may find it less convenient to travel on public transport.Rainy days would also be a pain if you are going to an unsheltered area.We will also have to cater more time to visit my parents on weekends，or send our son for his swimming or tuition lessons.
    Having said that，the truth is that we have already traveled most of the time by public transport on weekdays.The only difference is that we will now extend this way of life to Saturdays and Sundays.It will take some getting used to，but we are confident that it will still be worth it.

（1）What do we know from the first two paragraphs？
A.The author tried to renew the driving license but failed.
B.The author intends to quit driving due to road accidents.
C.The author grows tired of driving the same car for years.
D.The author's driving experience is enjoyable on the whole.
（2）Why is the BMW 316 i mentioned in Paragraph 3？
A.To promote a new model of the car brand.
B.To illustrate the huge cost of car ownership.
C.To demonstrate the full costs in making a car.
D.To stress the impressive performance of the car.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards going car free？
A.Doubtful.
B.Negative.
C.Positive.
D.Ambiguous.
（4）What could be a suitable title for the text？
A.Say Goodbye to My Car
B.My Brand-new Way of Driving
C.Traveling by Public Transport
D.My Driving Experience in Singapore

201596. （2025•长安区•二模）     It was a Tuesday night.In my apartment，I was doing three things at once-packing for a trip，trying to get dinner on the table and taking turns with my husband to calm a crying baby.Behind me，one work message after another popped up on my computer screen.I ignored them all.During dinner，a text appeared on my phone："Where are u？？？"asked my colleague.
    I didn't reply to the text.This wasn't the first time I'd ignored a digital summons（召唤）.I didn't mean to be disrespectful，but I was also aware of what I wanted my silence to communicate：This is not a priority for me now.
    For those who want to be polite，text-based digital communications can be extremely demanding.Ignoring a text message or an email feels rude，but should it？
    Cal Newport，the author of A World Without Email：Reimagining Work in an Age Communication Overload，has argued in his book that the etiquette（礼节） of digital communications is and should be different from that of in-person or phone conversation，especially when it comes to the back and forth of hellos，goodbyes and other pleasantries（打趣话）."In an in-person conversation it can feel rude not to finalize an exchange."he explained."But in the context of digital communication，the sender often prefers avoiding the receipt of additional messages when possible."
    Besides，in an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens，it is essential to prioritize our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives：when we're on vacation；when it's after 7 pm；when we're at the dinner table，
    It's also worth asking yourself who pressures you for immediate replies.Perhaps it's not the message sender，but you.A recent study found that we tend to overestimate our colleagues expectations for non-urgent work emails outside of work hours.So instead of criticizing yourself for not responding right away，consider slowing down and giving yourself a break，

（1）How does the author feel about ignoring the work message during family time？
A.Guilty.
B.Justified.
C.Indifferent.
D.Disrespectful.
（2）How does Cal Newport view the etiquette of digital communication compared to that of in-person conversation？
A.It should be the same.
B.It should be abandoned.
C.It should be more formal.
D.It should be less demanding.
（3）What should we do according to the last paragraph？
A.Remembor to put our family in the first place.
B.Find a good way to balance our work and life.
C.Realize the urgency and importance of our work.
D.Avoid pushing ourselves to respond to messages.
（4）Which of the following questions can be answered in the text？
A.Is it always rude to ignore digital communications？
B.Does politeness matter a lot in digital communications？
C.Why should we depend less on digital communications？
D.How can we express ourselves in digital communications？

202747. （2020•西安中学•一模） When I was a child growing up in Ohio，the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico．And it was awesome to see football fields full of them - and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale．I knew I had to go to see the migration in Mexico．
   But I was on a budget．I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo，the starting point for most butterfly adventures，so I called the guys at the Muddy Boot，travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate．
   And so，on January 2，I found myself in the Muddy Boot van （货车），being driven two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo，a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys．I booked a two-night stay at the Hotel Rodavento，an all eco-friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spread throughout the forest and around a lake．
   The first sanctuary （保护区） I visited was Piedra Herrada，a popular destination，as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo．The climb up is tiring．It is advisable to hire a horse．But the horse cannot take you all the way，and there is some hiking in thin air，so you must be patient，drink a lot of water，and be in reasonably good shape．
   The walk is more than worth it，though．As I struggled to catch my breath，I looked up and lost my breath again．At first glance，the trees had turned into different shapes，but on closer inspection，every inch of them was covered with butterflies．
   A few flew through the air （Most of them were not warm enough）．As the sun rose，they began to come alive．Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies，transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale．

204827. （2022•长安区一中•高一下期末） We've all heard the stories of an actor's struggles before a career breakthrough：living a hard life，working part time，being a couch potato before getting that major role.Shelby，the star of "A Dog's Way Home，" has a hardluck tale that could top them all.Before her big break，she was living in a landfill，rooting through garbage for her next meal.
   Shelby's big break came in April 2017，when animal control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County，Tennessee.Out on an unrelated call，Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump."I knelt down and just said， 'Oh，come here，baby，'" said Buhler."She was so scared，but she came right up to me，and I was able to put her in my truck." The pair headed to the county animal shelter，where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.
   Buhler and others didn't know that 3，200 kilometers away，Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon.The findaBella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller.Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella.One day，Miller spotted Baby Girl's adoption photo."Honestly，it was a really good picture，and she was flatout smiling，"Miller said.Then she met Baby Girl，and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands.After assessment，she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter，renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training.Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began.Then they were together each day on the set.
   Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby's performance.Variety made the comments "an amazing dog，perfect performance"！
