205387. (2020•西安中学•高三上期末) Many Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air,especially when it reaches critical pollution levels,but one local entrepreneur decided that canning(灌装) and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea.Believe it or not,he was right.
   After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France,Canada or Australia and selling it in China,Dominic Johnson-Hill,a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop,decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.
   "I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia,so I thought it was time to push business the other way," the entrepreneur said. "They're perfect gifts!What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing?A roast duck?A Plastered T-shirt?These cans are light,portable,you can just imagine someone' s face when they unwrap (打开) it for Christmas."
   The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents: "a unique mix of nitrogen,oxygen and some other stuff".The ironic (讽刺的) souvenirs cost 28 RMB (US $4)and are available at the Plastered 8 shop,as well as on its online shop.But if you're actually considering buying some,you'd better ask shop in advance,as they are virtually flying off the shelves.Johnson-Hill said that hiop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.
   Personally,the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions.Yet one thing that' s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing,as the cans are labeled as "Made in Shenzhen".There's a big chance that's just a kind of Plastered 8 humor,as they also list "Choking Hazard" and "May have unidentified objects inside." as warnings.
   Anyway,it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.

(1)What contributes to Dominic's idea of canning and selling the poor quality air?        
A.Try to get used to it.
B.Sell it all over the world.
C.Can it as a souvenir.
D.Try to push business the other way.
(2)How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas?        
A.Satisfied.
B.Surprised.
C.Frightened.
D.Refreshed.
(3)Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stuff" in Paragraph 4?        
A.liquids
B.objects
C.minerals
D.risks
(4)What can we infer from the passage?        
A.There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air.
B.The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour.
C.People should make efforts to protect the environment.
D.Dominic Johnson-Hill likes the poor quality air in Beijing.

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

202730. (2020•西安中学•六模) Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available.While they sound efficient and cost-saving,a recent study reports that they are not effective,primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.
   The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.
   Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression,helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors.However,online CBT programs have been gaining popularity,with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.
   A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England.The patients were split into three groups:one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care I from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs.Participants were balanced across the three groups for age,sex,educational background,severity and duration of depression,and use of antidepressants.
   After four months,the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.
   "It's an important,cautionary note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists," says Christopher Dowrick,a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. "We do still need the human touch or the human interaction,particularly when people are depressed."
   Being depressed can mean feeling "lost in your own small,negative,dark world," Dowrick says.Having a person,instead of a computer,reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation. "When you're emotionally vulnerable,you're even more in need of a caring human being," he says.

(1)What does the recent study say about online CBT programs?        
A.Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure.
B.Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer.
C.They can save patients trouble visiting physicians.
D.They have been well received by a lot of patients.
(2)What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular?        
A.Their effectiveness in combating depression.
B.The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy.
C.Their easy and inexpensive access by patients.
D.The recommendation by primary care doctors.
(3)What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs?        
A.They should not be neglected in primary care.
B.Their effectivenesould not be overestimated.
C.They should be used by strictly following instructions.
D.Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists.
(4)What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?        
A.A positive state of mind.
B.Appropriate medication.
C.Timely encouragement.
D.Human interaction.

214214. (2022•鄠邑区•高二下期中) Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running,research shows,while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does,however,have its own problem.
   Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk,which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity,however,says Jaclyn Norberg,an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem,Mass.
   Like running,race walking is physically demanding,she says,According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour,which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,although fewer than running,which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
   However,race walking does not pound the body as much as running does,Dr.Norberg says.According to her research,runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step,while race walkers,who do not leave the ground,create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
   As a result,she says,some of the injuries associated with running,such as runner's knee,are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact,anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique,she says.It takes some practice.

(1)Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?        
A.They must run long distances.
B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
(2)What advantage does race walking have over running?        
A.It's more popular at the Olympics.
B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building.
D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
(3)What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?        
A.Getting experts' opinions.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach.
D.Doing regular exercises.
(4)Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?        
A.Skeptical.
B.Objective.
C.Tolerant.
D.Conservative.

204810. (2022•周至四中•高二下期末) You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference?Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源)of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明)a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

(1)What are Von Wong's artworks intended for?        
A.Beautifying the city he lives in.
B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
(2)Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?        
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B.To explain why they are useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art.
D.To find a substitute for them.
(3)What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers?        
A.Calming.
B.Disturbing.
C.Refreshing.
D.Challenging.
(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?        
A.Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

205313. (2021•新城区•高一下期末) Major cities across the country,from Washington D.C.to Los Angeles,are heating up.The downtown parts of Phoenix can be up to 15 degrees warmer at night than its suburb(郊区).During the day,the street can reach over 160 degrees,hot enough to cook an egg.Unsurprisingly,walking across such a hot street to get to work,school,and do your daily work takes its toll on your health.
   Local governments have turned to planting trees to help stop rising temperatures in city areas.These tree planting efforts are usually announced with much showing off but are not as simple as planting a few trees and calling it a day.There's typically this sort of blind faith that trees will provide all of wonderful social benefits.But the environmental benefits that trees provide depend entirely on context.Tree planting plans may not lead to the cooling joy we desire in city areas.
   While tees,theoretically,are a "green" solution to unbearable summer city weather,in practice,many problems arise,namely keeping track of just how many trees have already found their roots and convincing land owners to keep planting trees along their personal property(私产).In some cases,cities are already doing a good enough job that they are running out of space,like in Washington,D.C.where they are currently at 38 percent canopy (树冠)coverage but are hoping to raise coverage up to 40 percent.But the biggest problem is that public area alone isn't enough for new trees in Washington D.C,as well as in cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles,and now,citizens will have to plant trees on personal property to help reach their canopy coverage goals.In many cases,that means landowners need to take care of those trees since they technically don't belong to the city itself.
   At the end of the day,trees are a good starting point,but we still have so much to learn about how well they work to cool down our hottest cities.

(1)What does the underlined word "toll" in paragraph 1 mean?        
A.Cost.
B.Turn.
C.Time.
D.Place.
(2)What is the author's attitude to planting trees to cool cities?        
A.Unconcerned.
B.Dissatisfied.
C.Supportive.
D.Confident.
(3)What is the biggest problem of planting trees in cities?        
A.Skills of planting trees.
B.Space for planting trees.
C.The high canopy coverage.
D.The unsure tree ownership.
(4)What can be the best title for the text?        
A.Heating Cities in the United States
B.A "Green" Solution to Climate Change
C.A Typical Blind Faith in Planting Trees
D.Problems of the Measure to Cool Hot Cities

202805. (2020•西安中学•三模) We often hear such statements: "I spilled (洒出) juice,but it wasn't my fault.", "I got in trouble at school,but it wasn't my fault." or "I was in a car accident,but it wasn't my fault." That "It's not my fault." is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.
   Parents complain they are tired of the "excuse".The reason why variations of "It's not my fault." are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame.I'm a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can't control.Teens who often say "It's my fault." when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical,perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.
   While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself,many teens over-rely on "It's not my fault." When trying to get them to take responsibility,parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault.The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle.No one wins.A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.
   Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives.This sense has been shown to cause low motivation.Besides creating feelings of lack of ability,overuse of "It's not my fault." focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.
   People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway.The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake.One can certainly stay in water,yelling, "It's not my fault." However,that won't get him out of water.He needs to swim to the shore,regardless of the fault.
   If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens,you can help them avoid over-reliance on "It's not my fault."

(1)What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?        
A.The teenagers' dislike for school life.
B.The common trouble faced by teenagers.
C.The reasons for blaming others for accidents.
D.The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life.
(2)What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text?        
A.Those lacking confidence and ambition.
B.Those allowing others to find excuses.
C.Those unable to get along well with others.
D.Those often blaming themselves for some incidents.
(3)What's the author's attitude to parents' usual way of guiding children?        
A.Supportive.
B.Negative.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Neutral.
(4)What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author?        
A.We should try to avoid troubling others.
B.We should focus on how to solve problems.
C.We should dare to point out others' mistakes.
D.We should be self-critical as much as possible.

201825. (2024•西安中学•九模)     From the world's last seven to a global population of more than 5,000,China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.
    With its typical red crest and face,as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers,the crested ibis is known as "the oriental gem" in China.They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting,ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
    In 1981,the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County,northwest China's Shaanxi Province,and deep in the Qinling Mountains,making Qinling,a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.
    Since 1981,the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species,prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest,using chemicals in their food-finding areas,and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas.The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises,sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
    Years of constant effort have brought promising results.It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now,and a majority of them live in Shaanxi.The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
    "It is lucky that the crested ibis,an ancient bird,is still flying around," said Zan Linsen,head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. "The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life,but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection."

(1)Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises?        
A.They are where crested ibises were first found.
B.They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C.They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D.They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
(2)What can we conclude from paragraph 4?        
A.Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B.It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C.Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D.The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
(3)How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?        
A.Merciful and ambitious.
B.Relieved and happy.
C.Shocked and curious.
D.Sorry and regretful.
(4)What is a suitable title for the text?        
A.Rare animals in China:crested ibises
B.Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C.Endangered crested ibises making a comeback

201845. (2024•西安一中•二模)     A carbon footprint is only one component of the broader ecological footprint.An ecological footprint compares the population's consumption of resources and land with the planet's ability to regenerate.The Earth's ecological footprint is currently 23 percent over capacity.It takes about one year and two months to regenerate what we consume in a year.
    Carbon footprints help people keep track of changes.Because footprints quantify an amount of carbon that increases or decreases based on energy use,they let people know that a new hybrid car or home insulation (隔离) helps.Transportation accounts for 33 percent of CO2 emissions in the United States,so many people try to lower their mileage (里程).Some walk or bike whenever possible;others take public transport.Home energyuse accounts for 21 percent of U.S.CO2 emissions,so it helps to have an efficient home.Setting the thermostat (恒温器) at a moderate temperature and installing double-paned windows lowers energy costs.
    Of course,individual efforts can go only so far.Cutting CO2 and other greenhouse gases down to safer levels requires significant government regulation.Lessening carbon footprints does let people see where they are and how they can change.Those who want to accept personal responsibility for their emissions can track their own reductions and change their habits.
    Because carbon calculators ask for only rough estimates,it's easy for investigators to approximate the footprints of celebrities and politicians.Analysts hope to uncover high-profile figures,especially those who promote environmentalism.Although performer Madonna and other celebrities have been accused of flying frequently,former vice president Al Gore has drawn the harshest accusations.The Gores' spokesperson did not deny that but emphasized that the couple subscribes to green power.

(1)How long can the Earth produce what we need in a year?        ?
A.2 months.
B.12 months.
C.14 months.
D.23 months.
(2)What is the second paragraph mainly about?        ?
A.Why people are worried about CO2 emissions.
B.How individuals can help to lower CO2 emissions.
C.Where most CO2 emissions come from in the United States.
D.What measures have been taken to cut down CO2 emissions.
(3)What is still needed to cut greenhouse gases down to safer levels?        ?
A.The participation of the public.
B.The development of new equipment.
C.The changes of our living habits.
D.The powerful efforts of the government.
(4)Why do investigators estimate the footprints of famous people easily?        ?
A.Because they have mastered methods.
B.Because it doesn't call for much accuracy.

213668. (2023•鄠邑区•高一下期中)     International Tiger Day is an annual celebration to raise the awareness of tiger conservation.It's held on 29 July.Governments and citizens across the world organize awareness programs on that day to spread the importance of protecting tigers.
    From ancient times,tigers were the subject of constant attraction for their beauty,size and sometimes mythical stories related to them.People's fascination (迷恋) for tigers is obvious from the fact that tigers are still a part of many national symbols and flags.Tigers are the largest cat species.Unfortunately,the population of tigers is fast decreasing.Every part of tigers from tail to skin to nail is traded in the illegal market for very high values.Many tigers are hunted,which is one of the key threats to their existence.They are also caught and raised as pets.97 percent of the world tiger populations decreased in the last 100 years and only 3,890 tigers are left.If tigers get extinct,we will lose a species.And it also means that enough forests have been destroyed,which may endanger many other species.
    For us,tigers are symbols of wildlife's fighting for survival.It reminds us of the dangers we face because of people's over-exploitation (过度开发) of the nature.It's an opportunity as well.Many efforts are on the way to double the tiger population by 2024.Strict national and international laws are against hunting and trading tigers.As a result,the number of tigers in the wild has risen for the first time in more than 100 years.Even though this is just a small increase,it's a huge symbolic victory in our efforts against the destruction of forests and wildlife.It's very important that we all join together in this effort,not only to save tigers,but also to save our forests.

204393. (2023•铁一中学•高二下期末) In southeastern Brazil,local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own,it would be tricky to find the silvery fish.But the humans get help from an unusual partner:wild bottlenose dolphins.
   With nets in hand,the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore.A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets.This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations,lasting for more than a century.
   While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing,they couldn't confirm whether it benefited the dolphins.Now,in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don't.
   "Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale." says Mauricio Cantor,a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. "Usually humans gain the benefit,and nature pays the cost.But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years."
   Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins.When dolphins were present,the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans' signals.Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from "synchronous (同时的) interactions"—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.
   The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins.These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore,reducing their chance of entanglement (缠绕) in illegal fishing equipment.Besides,the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers' harvest.

(1)What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers?        
A.They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B.They harvest more fish with dolphins' help.
C.They have been training dolphins over a century.
D.They cast the fishing nets when dolphins surface.
(2)What does Mauricio Cantor's research show?        
A.Nature favors human beings at a huge cost.
B.Fishers benefit from cooperating with cetaceans.
C.Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.
D.Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.
(3)What does the underlined word "allies" refer to in paragraph 5?        
A.Prey.
B.Mullet.
C.Partners.
D.Researchers.
(4)What's the author's main purpose in writing the text?        
A.To appeal for the protection of sea creatures.
B.To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.
C.To applaud for development in fishing research.
D.To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.

205078. (2022•蓝田县•高一上期末) The Chinese paddlefish(白鲟)-one of the world's largest freshwater fish-has been announced extinct.Scientists say the paddlefish,also called the Chinese swordfish,is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years.With its long nose and mouth,the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.
But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total.Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct.The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences,Britain's University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
   The paper says the paddlefish was announced extinct for two reasons.It said that the fish was not able to survive because of widespread overfishing and damage to its native environment in the Yangtze River.
Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018.But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish.They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010.The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was "a huge loss" to nature.
   Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. "The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades" Pan said.She stressed that China had taken measures to improve the Yangtze's environment,including a 10-year ban(禁令)on fishing.
   After the extinction was reported in the news,some Chinese media and Internet users look a look back at the large creatures.Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.
   "Every time I see the news of another species going extinct,my heart starts to ache, "wrote one Weibo user. "Humanould not live alone on this planet, " the user added.

(1)What do we know from Paragraph 3?        
A.Fishing in the Yangtze River.
B.Environment in the Yangtze River.
C.Researchers of the Chinese paddlefish.
D.The reasons for the Chinese paddlefish's extinction.
(2)Which of the following best describes the present situation of the Yangtze River?        
A.To protect animals is to protect humans.
B.It's never too late to mend.
C.Well begun is half done.
D.No pain,no gain.
(3)What's the writer's altitude towards the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish?        
A.Excited.
B.Shocked.
C.Satisfied.
D.Happy.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?        
A.Fishing is not Allowed in the Yangtze River

218059. (2023•长安区•高二上一月) 根据短文内容,从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Cities are diverse ecosystems.In addition to visitors from the world,a large number of specieare our urban areas. (1)       .
    Because cities are built for humans,they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.(2)       But when we cut grass or plant flowers,we destroy natural habitats.
    However,our actions sometimes help other species.When a bridge in Austin,Texas was repaired,engineers added small gap s running along the length of its bottom.This made a good home for bats,and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. (3)        Now,they have come to value their winged neighbours.The bats are a tourist attraction,and they eat lots of bugs every night.
    (4)       The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example.The park used native plants and created open,natural spaces for wildlife.The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds.In many ways,the park is the opposite of a zoo. (5)       .
    Another example is a tall"Birdscraper"building in New York,which is in the middle of a lake.Birds would sit on it,and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis(光合作用).
    Only if we learn to share our space,can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.

A.Therefore,we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B.Instead of being kept in cages,wildlife can move about freely.
C.At first,people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E.As our cities spread,we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
F.In the past,bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G.For example,most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.

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

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

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

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