205254. （2021•阎良区•高一下期末） Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career，since her first publication in 1968.In 1993，she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems，The Wild Iris.And on Oct 8，she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.
   Gluck was honored for her unmistakable poetic voice that，with simple beauty，makes individual existence universal.Often said to be an autobiographical poet，drawing from the inner parts of her life， "Gluck is not to be regarded as a confessional（忏悔）poet.She seeks the universal，" Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.
   Gluck，77，the author of 12 poetry collections，has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life，loss and isolation （孤独）.Because of this，readers have often found her poetry to be "dark".However，there is much more than darkness in her voice，as noted by Olsson. "It is direct and ...also a voice full of humor，" she said.
   For example，in her poem Snowdrops，she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death.She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end.At the conclusion of the poem，readers are left to feel the "cool wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring.This is often the case in Gluck's poetry，being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.
   Although she's already a well-known writer，experienced in exploring pain and healing（愈合），Gluck did feel honored to be given the famed Nobel award.However，when asked what the prize means to her，the lyric poet responded by saying， "It's too new...I don't know really what it means." Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life.

204241. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） As Valentine's Day approaches，many people with dogs will not care one bit whether they get a card.A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five said they were so attached to their pet because 'dogs don't let you down' in the same way that other people might.
   Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year，describing her pet as 'the best date a girl can have'.Comedian Miranda Hart and racing driver Lewis Hamilton have gone on holiday with their dogs，and actor Ryan Gosling has taken his cross-breed George，who he describes as 'the great love of my life'，to chat shows for moral support.
   This could be due to the numerous benefits that come with dog ownership—from the psychological to the physical.Dogs help their owners unwind，whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air，or with a cuddle（依偎） on a sofa.They can also be great listeners，help their owners release stress，and can play a part in improving their health and fitness.
   Nevertheless，for those dog owners who are still looking for love，the research suggests their pet might help.More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date with their dog appearing best for attracting a potential partner.Among those responding to the survey，21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
   Mr.Lambert said，"This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker，when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other，and that we tend to have more associations about people who love dogs."
   People who owned a pet dog were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.

（1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．Summarizing the previous paragraph.
B．Providing some advice for the pet owners.
C．Introducing some celebrities to the readers.
D．Giving some examples to support the view above.
（2）What does the underlined word "unwind" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Focus.
B．Relax.
C．Recover.
D．Participate.
（3）Why is dating out with a pet dog more appealing？
A．It comforts the strangers.
B．It is the best friend of mankind.
C．It is a bridge between the parties.
D．It makes the conversation romantic.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the company of a pet dog？
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Reserved.
D．Disapproving.

205099. （2022•蓝田县•高二下期末） The lack of clues left behind by ancient Americans has made it difficult for researchers to determine precisely when humans first arrived on the continent.However，it has always been believed to be about 13，000 years ago.Now，evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas，Central Mexico，seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30，000 years ago.
   Dr.Ciprian Ardelean，of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas who led the groundbreaking re- search，first became aware of the cave in May 2010.Getting to the cave located 2，750 meters above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain.However，Dr.Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012，2016，and -2017.
   The archeologists' efforts revealed many artifacts including over 1，900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave.The scientists found that most of the tools were between 16，000 and 13，000 years old.However，239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30，000 years!
   While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA，the team did find evidence of sulfur，potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals.Dr.Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time.
   The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans' origins or the path they took to get to America.They guess the groups were tribes （部落）who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations.Dr.Ardelean says， "We don't know who they were，where they came from or where they went.They're a complete enigma.We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas to- day are direct descendants from the earliest Americans，but now we don't think that is the case. " Archeologist Loren Davis，from Oregon State University，is unsure that the artifacts recovered are tools.The researcher says， "If it's true that people were in Zacatecas 32，000 years ago，that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas.I'm not going to say it's impossible，but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence，it's natural for people to challenge the conclusion. "

（1）What did Dr.Ciprian Ardelean do？
A．He sold hundreds of artifacts.
B．He explored the cave four times.
C．He made the cave world-known.
D．He collected artifacts from the cave.
（2）What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America？
A．Metal elements unearthed from the cave.
B．Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave.
C．The stone tools from the cave's deepest layer.
D．The artifacts from the upper layers of the cave.
（3）What does the underlined word "enigma" in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．Problem.
B．Breakthrough.
C．Appeal.
D．Mystery.
（4）In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage？
A．Archaeology.
B．Anecdote.
C．Economy.
D．Literature.

202025. （2022•西安中学•五模） Killer whales，or orcas，are known for their severe attacks on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans.However，since late July，the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
   The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29，2020，when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas，causing the boat to rotate（旋转） 180 degrees and having its engine switched off.Since then，over 30 more similar incidents have been reported.On September 23，2020，Spain's government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60-mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape，where the attacks have been occurring.
   Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas' behavior.Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefish tuna- the orcas' primary food source- which has left the area's killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. "I saw them look at boats carrying fish.I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages，" says Ken Balcomb，senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington，USA.The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic and fishing activities，after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring，could also be contributing to the agitation.
   However，Alfredo López，a biology professor in Galicia，Spain，thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against boat injuries.The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries.Hopefully，the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.

（1）What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1？
A．They are friendly to humans.
B．They are famous for hunting skills.
C．They have changed their behavior.
D．They have met tough living conditions.
（2）Who hold（s） the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents？
A．Alfredo López.
B．The environmentalists.
C．Ken Balcomb.
D．Spain's government.
（3）What does the underlined word "the agitation" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Human activities.
B．Food shortages.
C．The overfishing.
D．The attacks.
（4）What might be a suitable title for this text？
A．How do killer whales attack humans？
B．Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea？
C．How can we live in harmony with animals？
D．Why are Killer Whales attacking Boats？

202576. （2021•长安区•二模） Music died here last spring，or rather，it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high school curriculum.
   The committee decide that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts.Because the school system is running out of funding，it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost.If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes.They are failing because the "academic" classes are in deficiency in a way.
   It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing，acting，and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered.Many families cannot afford private music lessons，and many potential musicians and artists may not find their callings if they are not exposed to the arts in school.The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
   Teaching for a test does not shape students into well rounded people.It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through the arts-there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide.What happens after a test？Sure，a student might graduate，but they will have limited knowledge-certainly not a good preparation for the real world.

（1）Music and drama are removed from the high school curriculum in that       .
A．the school is afraid of losing financial support.
B．fewer and fewer students love to attend them.
C．the school curriculum has been changed.
D．some students fail the state standardized test.
（2）What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph？
A．Too many.
B．Not enough.
C．Too boring.
D．Not proper.
（3）It can be learned that the arts can       .
A．provide students with careful thinking.
B．make students round-shaped people in future.
C．motivate students in creativity and expression.
D．prevent students from graduating from high school.
（4）In what way does the author describe the passage？
A．Humorously.
B．Mildly.
C．Excitedly.

202063. （2022•西安中学•三模） $德优题库$
With a few minor exceptions，there are really only two ways to say "tea" in the world.One is like the English term──té in Spanish and tee in Afrikaans are two examples.The other is some variation of cha，like chay in Hindi.
   Both forms come from China.How they spread around the world offers a clear picture of how globalization worked.The words that sound like "cha" spread across land，along the Silk Road.The "tea" ──like phrasings spread over water，by Dutch traders bringing the novel leaves back to Europe.
   The term cha is Sinitic（汉语语系），meaning it is common to many varieties of Chinese.It began in China and made its way through central Asia，eventually becoming "chay" Persian.That is no doubt due to the trade routines of the Silk Road，along which，according to a Cha discovery，tea was traded over 2，000 years ago.The Japanese and South Korean terms for tea are also based on the Chinese cha，though those languages likely adopted the word even before its westward spread into Persia.
   But that doesn't account for "tea".Chinese character for tea，is pronounced differently by different varieties of Chinese，though it is written the same in them all.But in the Minnan variety of Chinese，spoken in the coastal province of Fujian，the character is pronounced "té".The key word here is "coastal".
   The "té" form used in coastal Chinese primary languages spread to Europe via the Dutch，who become the primary traders for tea between Europe and Asia in the 17 century.The main Dutch ports in east Asia were in Fujian and Taiwan，both places where people used the "té" pronunciation.The Dutch East India company's expensive tea importation into Europe gave us the French "the"，the German "Tee"，and the English "tea".
   Yet the Dutch were not the first to Asia.That honor belongs to the Portuguese.And the Portuguese traded not through Fujian but Macao，where "Cha" is used.That's why Portugal is a pink dot in a sea of blue.

（1）Which statement about the term of "cha" is correct according to the passage？
A．It is a variation of té in Spanish.
B．It is used in coastal Chinese languages.
C．It is based on the Japanese and Korean terms for tea.
D．The spread of the version is an example of globalization.
（2）The "té" form spread to Europe by        .
A．the German
B．the British
C．the Dutch
D．the Portuguese
（3）How does the author mainly develop the text？
A．By giving examples.
B．By raising questions.
C．By drawing conclusions.
D．By presenting research findings.
（4）Where is the passage probably from？
A．A guide book.
B．A novel.
C．A magazine.

202149. （2022•西安中学•八模） Adding a baby to a family can also add stress to a career.Now，a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology，engineering，and mathematics （STEM） professionals become parents，43% of women and 23% of men switch fields，change over to part-time work，or leave the workforce entirely.
   The results are based on the career paths of 629 men and 212 women who were full- time STEM workers in 2003 and became first-time parents in 2006，as compared with more than 3，000 STEM workers without children.By 2010，78% of new fathers were still working in STEM，the vast majority full time.For new mothers，68% were still in STEM，but only 57% worked full time.
   For professionals without children，on the other hand，84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2010.For the new parents across all fields，16% of women were working part-time and 15% had left the workforce，as compared with just 2% and 3% for men.These obvious differences make clear that mothers still face particular career challenges.
   "The researchers have considered causes including societal expectations，women's preferences，parenthood and unfriendly working environments.This new study suggests that parenthood does indeed play a role，but it probably acts in concert with other contributors（因素），" says Donna Ginther，a professor at the University of Kansas. "Contained in these data is what type of company you're working for and the climate within different fields，" she says.In other words，someone who tolerates a negative work climate before they have children may decide，when they become a parent，that the compromise is no longer worth it.But that doesn't mean that parenthood is the root cause；it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

（1）What does the author think of the findings of the study？
A．Surprising.
B．Frightening.
C．Uncommon.
D．Unacceptable.
（2）How did the researchers get the results？
A．They compared the career paths of 629 men and 212 women.
B．They compared the career paths of new fathers and new mothers.
C．They compared the career paths of full-time workers and first-time parents.
D．They compared the career paths of first-time parents and those without children.
（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A．New parents across all fields in STEM are less motivated.
B．Professionals without children are more popular in STEM.
C．Female workers in STEM need to deal with more challenges in work.
D．Clear differences in STEM suggest mothers are treated with prejudice.
（4）What does Donna think of parenthood？
A．It is the root cause of the situation.
B．It is better than unfriendly working environments.
C．It helps people to tolerate a negative work climate.
D．It is what makes the situation eventually unbearable.

202187. （2022•周至县•三模） The Chinese fashion icon，qipao，was born a century ago in Shanghai.However，the dress made its way through history from the hands of old craftsmen and is deep-rooted in Chinese culture.
   "Qipao used to be so popular，" Leung Long-kong，89，a well-known qipao craftsman，says，adding that the dress was an everyday outfit among women，from the less well-off to women at the highest levels of society. "Now，nobody is wearing them except on grand and happy occasions."
   To carry on the tradition，fashion designer Mary Yu，41，who has been attending classes teaching knot button-making techniques，is trying to renew the design of qipao by taking symbols from Chinese history and literature.
   "I feel I should look into Chinese culture and learn more about the past.People should have an in-depth understanding of their culture in order to move on，" Yu says. "Fashion design requires a profound knowledge of one's culture before visualizing it."

   Yu set up her own qipao brand in 2016.Most of the clothes were made by tailors based in Shenzhen and Hangzhou，for their lower cost and more traditional work.
   In the constantly evolving fashion industry，qipao is catching up with the times.Zippers，digital print patterns and new materials such as lace and denim have been introduced to a new generation.More daring ideas like 3 D printed qipao have also become a reality.Yu believed that with the help of these new technologies，qipao will find its way back to the daily life of Chinese people in the near future.

（3）What did Yu do to renew the design of qipao？
A．She devoted herself to using new technologies to make qipao.
B．She borrowed some symbolic designs from foreign brands.

204847. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期末） Tests，afterschool activities and problems at home can increase stress for students.But research now suggests that the main reason for the students' rising anxiety levels is something else.
   A psychology professor Jean Twenge said，"What a lot of teens told me is that using social media and their phones seems forced.This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions." Last year，in the journal Pediatrics three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problems in teenagers，such as loneliness，depressive symptoms and anxiety.
   Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use.Yet 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers，according to a February Pew Research Center report.
   Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem.Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students' social media activity for signs of pain.Some schools have organized some events in which people do not use their electronic devices.Belfast Area High School in Maine had one such event in April.About 20 percent of students and school employees took part，demonstrating the influence that the technology has on their daily life.
   Emily Mogavero，a 17-year-old student in New York，said，"I definitely feel stressed to keep up my information and stuff.It kind of worries me that I'm on my smart phone so long." Mogavero said she sometimes puts her phone out of reach or powers it down so she doesn't hear anything.
   Some parents are not letting their children get smart phones until they grow up.A teacher，Erin Schifferli，says her 12-year-old daughter，Aeva，won't get a phone until she is 16 years old.Deirdre Birmingham of Montclair signed on a campaign called "Wait Until Eighteen" because she didn't think her video gameloving 10-year-old son was ready for a smart phone.

（1）What's the main cause of teenagers' mental problems according to the text？
A．Too many activities.
B．Being lacking in enough sleep.
C．Too much homework.
D．Being addicted to social media.
（2）What does Mogavero think of using smart phones too much？
A．It is worrying.
B．It is necessary.
C．It is reasonable.
D．It is meaningless.
（3）How can parents deal with the children's problem？
A．Help their children grow up quickly.
B．Stop their children using smart phones.
C．Pay more attention to children's study.
D．Sign on more campaigns to make a difference.
（4）What can we learn from the text？
A．Almost all the students liked the schools' activities.
B．70 percent of people have anxiety and depression.
C．Overusing phones influences teens' social interactions.
D．The findings of the research are very definite.

204848. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期末） A new report shows that most American fourth and eighth graders did not do well in math and reading tests.The latest so-called "Nation's Report Card" was published last week.
   There were some exceptions.Students in Washington，DC，made important gains in both reading and math this year，according to the National Assessment of Education Progress.Students in the state of Mississippi also made major improvements compared to earlier reports.
   Nationally，however，America's eighth graders are falling behind in math and reading.And，math scores among fourth graders also decreased.Only a little more than one-third of eighth graders are proficient in reading and math.About a third of fourth graders are proficient readers.Over 40 percent are considered proficient in math.
   U.S.Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said the overall national resultow a student achievement crisis（危机）．She also said the problem cannot be fixed by giving more money to public schools.Instead，she called for expanded school choice.This includes her suggestions for greater dependence on privately run schools.

204866. （2022•长安区一中•高二下期末） Everyday wear like casual shirts，T-shirts，and jackets，embroidered （刺绣） with traditional patterns from the Yi ethnic group，staged a striking show at recent New York Fashion Week，which took place on September 4th.Chinese designer Wang Ta's new youth collection，decorated with Yi embroidery，a Chinese intangible （无形的） cultural heritage，was a definite hit on the last night of the fashion week.
   The audience was amazed by both the beautiful and mostly hand-embroidered colorful patterns and the perfect balance of modern and traditional elements.Leah Coulter，a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York，who dressed the models for the show，said the collection was a mix of old and new and loved all the patterns and embroidery，which aroused her interest in the unique handicraft dating back thousands of years. "I need to learn more about its history， " Coulter said.
   It's not something new in the fashion world to involve China's intangible cultural heritages as elements of design，Wang said，but it's not easy to make them into true fashion.Intangible cultural heritageould not always be displayed in museums or only appear on souvenirs.I hope to break the stereotype through using the Yi embroidery and make them everyday，fashionable items， " Wang told the media after the show. "I think fashion is the best way to introduce culture. "
   Wang's design ideas can be traced back to both her global experience as a fashion designer in Japan，the UK and China，and her unique educational background.Before receiving her second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen，she majored in history at ECNU（East China Normal University）in Shanghai.In order to create her collection，Wang and her team went to Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture （自治州） in southwest China's Yunnan Province and deeply studied the culture and history of Yi's craftsmanship to gain insight into the essence，delicacy and symbolism of Yi embroidery.But Wang's employing the patterns，colors and techniques of Yi embroidery in her contemporary fashion designs is not a simple imitation.The combination of modern and traditional parts can't be too striking for it to be widely accepted as everyday wear，Wang said，adding that her goal is for people，regardless of gender，color or nationality，to like her designs.

（1）What made Wang Ta's design appealing to the audience？
A．The totally hand-embroidered costumes in Yi culture.
B．The remarkable design of Chinese intangible cultural heritage.
C．The brilliant combination of traditional and modern parts.
D．The diversity of ethnic cultures displayed in the youth clothes.
（2）What does the underlined word "stereotype" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．Fixed impression
B．Commercial trend.
C．Unique style.
D．Controversial type.
（3）Which of the following contributes to Wang's design ideas？
A．Her aspiration to be famous worldwide.
B．Her fashion educational background at ECNU.
C．Her travelling experiences across ethnic regions in Yunnan Province.
D．Her working experiences in some European and Asian countries.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The application of China's ethnic elements in fashion.
B．China's intangible cultural heritage.
C．A China's talented designer.
D．A culture back to life.

202245. （2022•临潼区•二模） Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else.His conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
   The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
   Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening，during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time，they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.

（1）According to the author，people make conversation to        .
A．overcome their fear of silence
B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．exchange ideas
（2）According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors       .
A．about two or three plays they have seen
B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well
（3）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B．To encourage people to join in conversations.
C．To persuade people to stop making noises.
D．To explain why people keep talking.

205136. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years.In fact，pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
   In 1815，English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France，and the English were believed to be losing.A financial panic swept over London.Government bonds（债券）were offered at low prices.Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild，an English banker，was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them.A few days later，London learned the truth：the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.The value of the bonds soared （暴涨），and Rothschild became wealthy…all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.
   Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War I and World War II.Not only were the birds often the fastest，most reliable way to send messages，they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines，where radios and field telephone lines were useless.Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships，every branch of the armed services used the birds.
   Carrying messages could be a dangerous job.Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals.The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami.Stationed in France during World War I，he carried twelve important messages for American forces.On his last mission，though wounded，he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers.For his amazing service，he was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre."
   Today，modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it.However，few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history.

（1）Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by        .
A．relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons
B．predicting successfully the result of the battle
C．his experience and a good knowledge of bonds
D．his ability to tell right from wrong
（2）What does "snapping up" mean in the second paragraph？
A．Giving away.
B．Destroying.
C．Throwing out.
D．Buying.
（3）The author provides dates and numbers throughout this text in order to        .
A．avoid mixing up the readers' minds when reading for information
B．prove that carrier pigeons are more important in modern times than in the past
C．show the influence of carrier pigeons at important points in history
D．explain the causes and effects of world events
（4）What is the author's attitude towards carrier pigeons？
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.

204867. （2022•长安区一中•高二下期末） College debt is becoming as much of a problem for Americans close to retirement as it is for new graduates.There are now about 8.7 million Americans aged over 50 who are still paying off college loans.They borrowed the money either to pay for an education for their children or themselves.Their debt is growing fast，increasing by about half since 2017 to a total of ﹩ 370 billion — an average of ﹩ 40，900 per borrower.In 2019，roughly ﹩4.9 billion was deducted （扣除） right from retirees' Social Security income.
   "Part of the blame falls on the federally backed PLUS program，" said Tara Siegel Bernard in The New York Times. "Parent PLUS loans"，which have few application requirements other than a basic credit check，have broadened access to capital for many parents.But the "loans can be unforgiving".William and Kate Schweizer "didn't want their two daughters to begin their adult lives burdened with college debt".So they borrowed ﹩ 220，000 for their schooling.Increasingly they had trouble paying.Now their debt has ballooned to ﹩500，000.The consequences of defaulting （拖欠） are serious： "The government can take their wages and Social Security."
   "Unfortunately，President Biden's ﹩ 6 trillion budget doesn't offer much assistance，" said Eric Levitz in NYMag.com. "During his campaign，Biden called for forgiving ﹩ 10，000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower among other ways to ease the college debt burden.But the chances of passing such measures through Congress are slim."
   "Don't bankrupt yourself for your kids，" said Beth Akers in USA Today.The safer option to pay for college is "a student loan taken out in your child's name".A federal student loan — not a private one — can protect borrowers through income-driven repayment programs.There is also a better chance that a loan forgiveness program could materialize to help out student borrowers.And remember that "if you overextend yourself financially to make a college dream come true for your child，you are taking away your ability to be your child's financial backstop."

（1）How does the author illustrate his point in Paragraph 1？
A．By using quotes.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing statistics.
D．By giving definitions.
（2）What is the drawback of "Parent PLUS loans"？
A．They can trap parents in financial crises.
B．They have demanding requirements.
C．They are not enough to cover college costs.
D．They set limits on how much one can borrow.
（3）What does Eric Levitz think of President Biden's ﹩ 6 trillion budget？
A．It is tight.
B．It is flexible.
C．It is impractical.
D．It is beneficial.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．Debt：College Costs Swallow Retirement Reserve Funds.
B．Student Loans：A Stepping Stone to College.
C．Lessons in Finance Help Repay Student Loans.
D．Americans Are Burdened by College Debt.

202264. （2022•西安三中•五模） Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles（雀斑）.Actually，there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
   In East Asia，freckles might be considered a "destructive weakness" for celebrities，especially actors or singers.Although normal people don't care that much，subconsciously they might prefer a "clean" face.Generally speaking，freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently，and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
   Having freckles，instead，is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world，and some call freckles "angel kisses".For most westerners，having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with；instead，it is something to be desired.After all，not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
   When it comes to eye shapes，it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don't see eye-to-eye.Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful.If their eyes have a double fold eyelid，that is considered perfect.However，most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows.Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country's most beautiful by foreigners，while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn't fit with traditional beauty standards.
   Young，girly feature or hot and mature feature？Zhao Liying from China，Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia，as they boast bright faces with warm smiles，which win them lots of male fans.The three young celebrities represent Asia's beauty standards：women with cute，girly features.Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly.Unlike Chinese girls，Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness.The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
   As ties continue to grow between China and the West，it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop.But one thing's for sure — no matter how you look，you are who you are，and that should be satisfaction enough.
（1）What do most western people think of having freckles？
A．It is something unbearable.
B．It is a destructive weakness.
C．It is something to wish for.
D．It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
（2）What do the underlined words "see eye-to-eye" mean in Paragraph 4？
A．Have the same opinion.
B．Recognize their strengths.
C．Misunderstand each other.
D．Argue against one another.
（3）Why do western girls prefer to appear mature？
A．They think this beauty standard is better.
B．They want to look independent and unique.
C．They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
D．They admire Wonder Woman very much.
（4）What does the text mainly talk about？
A．What Zara's beauty standard is.
B．Why Chinese people don't like freckles.
C．What causes the different beauty standards.
D．How easterners and westerners think of beauty.
