202186. （2022•周至县•三模） On Friday January 14，2022，blast was heard 2，000km away in New Zealand and 3，300km away in Australia.Boats crashed into a quiet harbor in Southern California，a remote island was battered in Japan by 4 foot waves and two women were swept to their deaths on a beach in Peru some 6，000 miles from an undersea volcanic eruption so powerful that the tsunami which it set off stirred ocean waters halfway across the globe.
   But on Sunday，as reports of the volcano's effect crowded in from far-flung countries，there was little word from Tonga，the island nation just 40 miles from the site of the extraordinary explosion.As concerns from all over the world grew，the nation of about 100，000 people remained largely cut off from the rest of the world，its undersea internet cables knocked out of commission by the volcano.
   In Tonga on Sunday，many residents lost not only communication channels but electric power.Up to 80，000 people there could be affected，the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies told the BBC.
   New Zealand and other nations in the region pledged to give Tonga aid to recover.But with heavy concentrations of airborne ash making flights impossible，just like the Iceland volcano eruption in 2021，it was difficult even to know what was needed.Ardern，the New Zealand prime minister，said flights over Tonga were planned for Monday or Tuesday，depending on ash conditions.
   Tonga has experienced a succession of natural disasters in recent years.In 2018，more than 170 homes were destroyed and two people killed by Cyclone Gita，a Category 5 tropical storm.In 2020，Cyclone Harold caused about ﹩111 million in damage.

（1）Which country wasn't affected by Tonga undersea volcanic eruptions according to Paragraph 1？
A．Japan.
B．America.
C．Peru.
D．Iceland.

A．30%.
B．20%.
C．50%.
D．70%.
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？

204555. （2023•鄠邑区•高一上期末） Pet lovers were very angry．Last May，a news article online said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets that each household could have to only two．The news spread quickly，as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites．But pet owners had nothing to worry about----the article was made-up．
   Many fake （虚假的） news are harmless，but others might have played a role in real-world events．When it comes to online news，even adults can have a hard time telling fact from fiction．
   Education experts say kidould start learning how to tell the difference．
   Of course，there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news．Well-known news organizations，such as The New York Times and the Associated Press，have their own sites．

   Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true？The most common reason is to make money．Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on them．Companies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors．So people create fake news with attention-catching headlines to try to get users to click on them．
   Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news．Last November，Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages．Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles．But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical（'怀疑的） of what they read online．

（1）What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph？
A．To make readers focus on fake news．
B．To introduce the topic about fake news．
C．To state the reasons for fake news' spread．

B．Colorful．
C．Official．
D．Honest
（3）What's the main idea of this text？
A．People create fake news to make money．
B．The growing trend of fake news raises concerns．
C．It's unnecessary for kids to be able to spot fake news．
D．Most school children can easily recognize fake news．
（4）What's the best way to reduce the influence of fake news？

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

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

205999. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．
When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print．The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation．Many more newspapers were started，representing all kinds of political opinions，and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs．Growth continued in every state．By 1814 there were 346 newspapers．
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker．It had to be paid in full and in advance．This cheap，interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading，which is now taken for granted．
（1）The main force to affect public opinion in America for America's independence was        ．
A．different kinds of newspapers
B．the appearance of more papers

A．Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government．

C．Because it published a large number of newspapers．
D．Because never before was one newspaper published．
（3）Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published？        ．
A．Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time．
B．Because only the British Library had the right to publish it．
C．Because it was published without the permission of the government．
D．Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time．
（4）What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783？        ．

205980. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too-but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．
It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．
In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．
Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"
Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．

205979. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

205961. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） LONDON（Reuters）--Organic fruit，delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers，and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible，the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
"Organic produce is always better，"--Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides（农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty．"Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting，and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce？Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market，"said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business．

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

205880. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） A new study in December's Journal of Family Psychology says that working mothers report being healthier and happier than the stay-at-home mothers．The author，Dr．Cheryl Buehler，concludes that"A mother's economic role is central to family life，and it supports her well-being and her parenting．"What about the miserably conflicted working mother crying at her desk because her baby's first words were"au pair（家务女工）"？
Though Buehler's study relies on data from more than 1，300 mothers of young children across the U．S．-tracked over a 10-year period-the research is far from perfect．To begin with，it's pretty old，as it covers the decade beginning in 1991．So it's unfair to ask whether contemporary（当代的）working moms，whose companies have been downsized（减员的） and whose bosses may expect them to turn on their Black Berries for 24 hours，are quite as peaceful as their Clinton-time mothers．Even more importantly，the study focused on part-time working moms．
But what really makes this study unique is that the focus is on the mothers as well as the children．After decades of research on how working mothers affect their children，somebody's finally gotten around to investigate how it affects the moms．The study also takes a big step to the ongoing need for flexibility（灵活性） in the American workplace-and at home，because this is the power of balance．What's right for any family is what makes the members within it as happy and fulfilled as possible．
The idea that both work and parenting-especially in combination-can contribute to a woman's mental and physical health is good news．But we're complicated beings and the things that satisfy us are diverse（多元的）．They're our children and our careers．Nobody said it was easy．But maybe if you want to have it all，a good place to start is by doing it all．

（1）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph？
A．Working mother doesn't like her job．
B．Working mother is often not very happy．
C．Working mother hates the au pair very much．
D．Working mother loves to cry to relax herself．
（2）What do we know from the second paragraph？
A．Part time working mothers are happier than before．
B．The Clinton-time mothers are much busier than today's．
C．Today's moms have much better cellphones than before．
D．The contemporary working moms have much more pressure．
（3）In the third paragraph，the author        ．
A．emphasizes the flexibility in the American working time
B．believes it is not very important to do this kind for research
C．loves to see the research on how working mothers affect themselves
D．considers study on how working mothers affect their children necessary．

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

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

205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report
C．An experiment report
D．An exploration review

218655. （2023•铁一中学•高二下二月） A remarkable new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century has implications for the way they react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.
   The paper is authored by Whitehead and Rendellt at Dalhousie University and their research addresses an age-old question：if whales are so smart，why did they hang around to be killed？The answer？They didn't.Using newly digitised（数字化的）logbooks detailing the hunting of whales in the north Pacific，the authors discovered that within just a few years，the strike rate of the whalers' harpoons（捕鲸者的鱼叉） fell by 58%.This simple fact leads to an astonishing conclusion：that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales，who made vital changes to their behaviour.They learned quickly from their mistakes.
   "Sperm whales have a traditional way of reacting to attacks from orca（杀人鲸），" notes Whitehead.Before humans，orca were their only predators（捕食者），against whom sperm whales form defensive circles，their powerful tills held outwards to keep predators at bay，"But such techniques just made it easier for the whalers to kill them，" says Whitehead.
   Sperm whales are highly socialised animals，able to communicate over great distances.Information about the new dangers may have been passed on in the same way they share knowledge about feeding grounds.They also possess the largest brain on the planet.It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them.
   The hunters themselves realised the whales' efforts to escape.They saw that the animals appeared to communicate the threat within their attacked groups.Abandoning their usual defensive formations，the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters，ships，themselves wind-powered.
   Now，just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial destruction by 20th-century whaling fleets，whose steamships and grenade harpoons no whale could escape from，they face new threats created by our technology. "They're having to learn not to get hit by ships，cope with the depredations（劫掠）of long line fishing，the changing source of their food due to climate change，" Whitehead says. "The same sort of urgent social learning the animals experienced in the whale wars of two centuries ago is reflected in the way they negotiate today's uncertain world."

（1）What is the new study mainly about？
A．Whales' social lives.
B．Whales' emotional intelligence.
C．Whales' reaction to climate changes.
D．Whales' behavior under human attack.
（2）What caused whales to make changes to escape the hunters' ship？
A．The wind in their favor.
B．Their powerful physical strength.
C．The shared ship attack information.
D．Their usual defensive formations.
（3）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5？
A．State possible reasons.
B．Add background information.
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
（4）What's Whitehead's attitude towards whales' future survival？
A．Pessimistic.
B．Unclear.
C．Cautious.
D．Optimistic.

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

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

（1）What inspired Curry to invent Oasis？
A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car．
B．His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat．
C．The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car．

A．It would inform the parents or even the police．
B．It would pump out the hot air in the car．
C．It would sound the alarm attached to the car．
D．It would get the window open to save the child．
（3）What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention？
A．It used some of the most advanced technology．
B．It simply combined technologies that existed．
C．It could accelerate production of new technology．
D．It is the most advanced among similar products．
（4）Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money？
A．To conduct experiments to test the invention．
