205564. （2019•西安中学•高二上期末） Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you're unsatisfied，the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires----not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes．
   Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much． They live in too big a house with too many rooms，yet their house of life is a hut．
   Your house of life ought to be a mansion，a royal palace．Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．
   Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry．
   Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．
   Music like Mozart's and Bach'ouldn't be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk，you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．
   Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are．you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days，if you could，and did，play a bit．
   Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．

204792. （2022•周至四中•高一下期末） Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact？Do you argue whether it's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit （限速）？
If you get into such arguments，try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant．The first blind man who felt the elephant's trunk （象鼻） said it was like a snake．The second who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall，while the third said it was like a spear（矛）as he touched the animal's tusk．The fourth，who took hold of the elephant's tail insisted that it was like a rope．The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant's legs．The last，who was tall and got hold of the elephant's ears，said it was like a huge fan．
Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience．So if someone disagrees with you about a"simple fact"，it's often because his experience in the matter is different from yours．
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a"simple fact"，try this simple experiment．Get three large bowls．Put ice water in one．Put hot water in the second．Put lukewarm water （温水）in the third．Now put your left hand in the hot water．Put your right hand in the lukewarm water．Your right hand will tell you the water is cold．Your left hand will tell you it is hot．

C．tall

D．strong

（2）The underlined word"it"in the last line of the paragraph refers to       ．

D．the bowl
（3）What makes people think about simple facts differently？
A．People's wrong ideas．
B．People's different experience．
C．Simple facts are different sometimes．

（4）It can be inferred from the passage that we should       ．
A．learn from the blind men
B．not agree about simple facts
C．never think about simple facts

203284. （2016•华清中学•二模） Teens don't understand the big fuss （小题大做）．As the first generation to grow up in a wired world，they hardly know a time when computers weren't around，and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online，chatting with friends．So what？
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated （孤寂），less skillful at person-to-person relationships，and perhaps numb （麻木） to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world．"And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless，"said Sherry Turkle．
Another researcher，Robert Kraut，said he's worried about the"opportunity costs"（机会成本） of so much online time for youths．He found that teens who used computers，even just a few hours a week，showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation．"Chatting online may be better than watching television，but it's worse than hanging out （闲逛） with real friends，"he said．
Today's teens，however，don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives．"School is busy and full of pressure．There's almost no time to just hang out，"said Parker Rice，17．"Talking online just kills time．"
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply．Some teens admit that asking someone for a date，or breaking up，can be easier in message form，though they don't want to do so．But they insist there's no harm．
（1）The researchers argue that        ．
A．teens may develop a different sense of values

205997. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences．Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars．Often they relive these experiences in nightmares．
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill，which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce，or possibly wipe out，the effect of painful memories．
In November，experts tested a drug on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced，not that the memories are wiped out．They are not sure to what degree people's memories are affected．
The research has caused a great deal of argument．Some think it is a bad idea，while others support it．Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war．They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．
"Some memories can ruin people's lives．They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare．They usually come with very painful emotions，"said Roger Pitman，a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School．"This could relieve a lot of that suffering．"
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people's memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity．They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past．
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are．I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out．"Said Rebcca Dresser，a medical ethicist．
（1）The passage is mainly about
A．a new medical invention
B．a new research on the pill
C．an argument about the research on the pill
D．a way of wiping out painful memories
（2）The drug tested on people can
A．prevent body producing certain chemicals
B．stop people remembering bad experiences
C．cause the brain to fix memories
D．wipe out the emotional effect of memories
（3）Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph？
A．Some memories can ruin people's lives．
B．People want to get rid of bad memories．
C．The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories．
D．Experiencing bad events makes us different from others．
（4）We can infer from the passage that
A．the pills will certainly stop people's emotional memories
B．people doubt the effect of the pills
C．taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health
D．the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US．

205898. （2017•西安中学•高一上期末） Threadsmiths，an Australian garment company based in Melbourne，has just invented a revolutionary new T-shirt that never gets wet or dirty．
   The garment，called "The Cavalier"，is made from 100 percent cotton but features brand new "hydrophobic（疏水的）" nano-technology（纳米技术） which is woven（编织） into the cotton and is totally able to resist most liquids，as well as different types of dirt．
   The new T-shirt is of course protected by patent（专利） as，unlike other attempts at waterproof and dirtproof garments，it doesn't use aerosols（喷雾剂） which can contain chemicals．As is stated clearly on the website："Our shirts emulate the natural hydrophobic characteristics of the lotus（荷花） leaf．The Cavalier shirt contains no aerosol applications and no dangerous chemicals，and is completely safe to wear - as a shirt should be．"
   "As it creates a natural self-cleaning effect，the new invention means that any remains left on the garment can easily be wiped off，or simply washed off with water．" Lewis Pitchford，an employee at Threadsmiths，spoke about the new product： "Most people are pretty amazed when they see it．" Pitchford confirmed that while the company is only producing T-shirts for the time being，they are more than open to suggestions from the public about other types of other clothes that could be produced．
   As well as the obvious benefits for the fashion industry，the new material could be revolutionary for restaurants and cafes which could avoid problems caused by spills during busy services．On top of that，restaurants could potentially save a fortune on laundry bills for their staff's aprons and their chef's clothes．
   The material is machine washable and apparently is good for at least 80 washes before the full effect of the waterproof technology fades a little．The new T-shirts are available for men and women in a variety of standard sizes and sold for ＄65 each．

202873. （2018•西安中学•六模） A comparison of nesting data recorded in the early 1900s with similar data today for more than200 species of California birdows that overall they are breeding（*1）5 to 12 days earlier than they did 75 to 100 years ago
Earlier studies found that many but not all birds in California's mountains are moving north or to higher altitude to find cooler temperatures in the face of global warming． "The shift to earlier breeding that we detected allows birds to nest at similar temperatures as they did a century ago，and helps explain why half the bird species in the mountainous areas of California did not need to shift upward in altitude in response to climate warming over the past century，said Steven Beissinger，a UC Berkeley professor of environmental sciences．
Early spring arrivals have long been noted by the public and reported by scientists，but the assumption has been that the birds are tracking resources，primarily food：with warming temperatures．plants produce leaves and seeds earlier，and insects appear earlier．
The new study spotlights another major reason：by nesting a week earlier，birds produce eggs and young at a temperature about I degree Celsius lower than if they nested at the normal time in the same place．This exactly counterbalances （抵消） the approximately I degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the past century．
"By nesting a week or 10 days earlier．birds are avoiding some of the negative effects of climate warming． " Beissinger said． "The good news is that there may be more flexibility for species to respond to climate change than we thought，and not all species may need to move farther north or to higher altitudes．" he added． "But we don't know yet whether staying in place and shifting schedules earlier is a permanent solution，or only provides temporary relief from the 2 degree Celsius rise in temperatures forecast to occur．
Birds may find，for example，that the window of good temperatures for breeding becomeorter．which may limit the opportunity to re-nest if they fail the first time．Larger species that have a longer nesting period might not have an enough time to complete their nests before it starts to become too warm，he said．

（1）To fight against the global warming．earlier studies found that
A．some birds tried to find cooler places
B．some birds failed to nest more than ever
C．some birds began to produce eggs earlier
D．some birds woke up earlier to catch insects
（2）What can we infer from the passage？
A．Early birds catch insects and get tender leaves
B．Global warming is responsible for earlier springs
C．Birds are smart in adapting to the climate changes
D．Birds are likely to have difficulty in breeding ways
（3）What is mainly talked about in the passage
A．Birds' moving north and global warming．
B．Early breeding of birds and climate changes．
C．Changes of birds' life and early spring arrivals．
D．Birds，reaction and early appearance of foods．
（4）What's Steve Beissinger's attitude to the finding according to the passage？
A．Disappointed
B．Panic
C．Relieved
D．Flexible

202919. （2018•交大附中•六模） Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar（花蜜）．But their flight plans actually do have a pattern．Flowers act as the insects' air-traffic controllers．And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren't too flashy．
   Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer．Those clues can be in the color of petals，in the type，in the smell or even in the electrical charge．All of these characteristics send signals to the bees，telling them whether to land or not，among which the colors play the most significant role．The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar．They then visit more flowers of that color．
   However，color can't guarantee bees a good meal．It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals．A yellow follower，for example，may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another．Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England．Glover and her colleagueowed that even when the color of petals looks similar，bees behave differently in searching for nectar．They started to guess that the strength of petals' indescence（色彩斑斓） might be related to how bees find the petals．
   Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab．In their experiment，they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent．The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology．
   "At first glance，it's very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily，" says Klaus Lunau，a biologist in Germany，who was not involved in the study．

（1）What can we know about the flight of bees？
A．They usually fly in a regular pattern．
B．They usually fly without any purpose．
C．They fly to some very flashy flowers．
D．They fly under the direction of flowers．
（2）What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar？
A．The petals' type．
B．The petals' color．
C．The followers' smell．
D．The followers' electrical charge．
（3）What does the underlined word "hypothesis" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Discussion．
B．Method．
C．Invention．
D．Assumption．
（4）What is the new finding of the team？
A．Petals of different color usually give different signals．
B．Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily．
C．Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments．
D．Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower．

202937. （2017•师大附中•十一模） Many people write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions．Letters to the editor must carry the writer's full name，address and telephone number，although the information is not necessary for publication．This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say．When a writer wants his voice heard，he needs to claim ownership of his voice．Responsibility is the name of the game．
  "People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship，" said social worker Ken Yip， "and this is what is causing a lot of family problems．" When we sign a paper，for example，a business contract or a bank document，the signature is a seal of consent，an agreement to take the matter seriously．Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer's signature．The absence of a signature，they explain，tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply．
   There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons．Multi-billionaire Mr．King donates generously to charity several times a year．He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring，and he does not want his good deeds to make news．In other cases，people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity．Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police，but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime．
   Name or no name？The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved．We all have a name．It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement，a claim or an accusation．We all want to honour our own name，and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say．

（1）What does the writer mean by saying "Responsibility is the name of the game"？
A．Writers need to provide their personal information in the game．
B．Publication must bear the writer's full name，address and phone number．
C．Writerould be responsible for their names．
D．Names are required to indicate writers' responsibility for what they say．
（2）The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may       ．
A．help to end a relationship
B．not get a reply
C．be accepted all the same
D．become a family problem
（3）Some people don't want their names known because they are       ．

C．afraid of an accusation
D．ready for involvement

202957. （2017•师大附中•七模） Body awareness helps children figure out how they can move their bodies and understand the concept of space and how it relates to their bodies．There are many fun games and songs that teach children body awareness and encourage them to move their bodies．Simon Says is a great example of such games，as long as you allow all children to continue playing instead of removing children who do not follow the directions correctly．Children who do not follow the directions correctly are generally the very ones that need to play the game most．Each time you call out an instruction - touch your toes/raise your arms/tap your head，the children are mentally relating the name of the body part to their own bodies．
   Do you remember the game Statue，or maybe you call it Freeze？The teacher plays music，and when the music stops，the children "freeze"．To add an element of learning about body parts，add this instruction：When the music stops，you freeze except for the body part that I call out when the music stops；So if you call "Hands"，everyone should freeze except for their hands，which should be moving．Children love this variation of the game，and it teaches them to listen and learn body parts．
   Listening to songs also helps teach children's body awareness．One of the songs is If You're Happy and You Know It．Although the standard refrains （副歌曲调） tell you to "clap your hands" and " stamp your feet"，you can try lots of fun verses：wiggle your fingers，pull your ears，knock your knees and touch your head，etc．
   Children enjoy guessing games，too．Try giving clues about which body part you are describing．For example， "I am thinking about a body part that I smell with．It is right under my eyes and right over my mouth．What am I thinking about？" To help thinking and language skills，encourage children to make up the clues for a body part．
   Children should enter school with a basic understanding of their bodies．Children programs can promote this understanding by including develop - mentally appropriate and fun activities into curriculum that teach children about their amazing bodies!

（1）The reason why children who do not follow the directions correctly is that they        ．
A．are not clever enough

205772. （2018•西安一中•高二上期末） There are two main types of office layouts used by most companies around the world：Landscape Office and Enclosed Office．A landscape office lacks privacy，however，this office layout is more beneficial than an enclosed office for employees to improve work efficiency（效率） and productivity．
Some people might desire an undisturbed workplace．According to the survey collected from a company with the two kinds of office layouts，most of managers prefer a workplace where they can concentrate on their work and make a clear thinking．However，managers that possess their own enclosed offices might have the feeling of being distant from their clerks，which leads to high pressure．Meanwhile，employees tend to be nervous when they have conversations with their managers in an obviously hierarchical（等级制的） environment．In contrast，a landscape office makes it easier and more pleasant for employees to communicate with their managers or their colleagues；this would result in speeding up work efficiency and productivity．
Besides，greater interaction is beneficial for employees to build up friendship in a landscape office．This can be proved by the experiment of Brookes and Kaplan．They recorded the attitudes and opinions of 120 employees toward their enclosed office before they moved to the landscape office，and then after nine months they were tested again．The researchers discovered that those employees performed positive changes in group sociability．When people have better group sociability，they experience a better team work and efficient cooperation，which surely promotes work productivity．
Some opponents claim that a landscape office would lead to the decline of the value of work satisfaction and motivation from employees．However，the result from other researchers remained controversial；in their opinion there are several factors which affect job satisfaction and motivation．600 Canadian federal government department workers who were housed at a modern landscape office and were surveyed gave both negative and positive feedback．They admitted that they felt the sense of belonging to a team or a working community，which mainly contributes to job satisfaction．Motivation is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team．
Admittedly，there are some advantages that only enclosed offices possess．However，a landscape office can combine the features of the traditional enclosed office，for example，designing the independent meeting room to decrease noise from discussion．Although the benefits of a landscape office outweigh those of an enclosed office，which layout is better should be decided by the characteristics of the people and the type of work they do．

（1）What is mainly talked about in the passage？
A．Colleague cooperation and its motivation．
B．Group sociability and its productivity．
C．Working environment and its effect．
D．Office privacy and its atmosphere．
（2）What has the significant effect on productivity according to Paragraph 2？
A．Job satisfaction．
B．Relaxed atmosphere．
C．Group sociability．
D．Undisturbed workplace．
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．Enclosed office leads to individual creativity．
B．Different working styles in enclosed office is encouraged．
C．Landscape office contributes to effective conversations．
D．Frequent communication in landscape office results in high pressure．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards office layouts？
A．Objective．
B．Casual．
C．Optimistic．
D．Sceptical．

203131. （2016•师大附中•二模） While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class，a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move．
   Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer's Los Angeles apartment，the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room．Her Internet access was locked-remotely-to prevent Internet searches，and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was：Did she enter her student number at the same speed ae had in the past？Or wae slowing down？
   In the battle against cheating，this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education．The technology gives trust to the entire system，to the institution and to online education in general．Only with solid measures against cheating，experts say，can Internet universitieow that their exams and diplomas are valid-that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers．
   Although online classes have existed for more than a decade，the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses．" Private colleges，public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field，spending millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance．
   Aside from the web cameras，a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular．Among them are programs that check students' identities using personal information，such as the telephone numbers they once used．
   Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones．As in many university classes，term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating．

203168. （2016•西安中学•四模） Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
   Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or café's rather than at the office．
   Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion；instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．
   After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
   Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．
   Certainly，English and German cultureare similar values；however，Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
   People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．

（1）In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to        ．
A．get to know each other

C．develop closer relations
D．keep each other company

A．the English prefer to make long speeches

203303. （2016•西工大附中•十模） If you never read the classic F．Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation．Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，"It's just like the book"．
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was"either to find a visual equivalent（相等物） for Fitzgerald's elegant essay--the open secret of the book's staying power--or to bend the material to his own exotic（异国的） strengths，"a Time magazine review says．He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success．
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream．
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy．His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby （Leonardo DiCaprio），who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War．Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect．As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy．Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his"golden girl．"They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer．Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war．However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick．Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again．
"All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，"US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review．"The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，"Taroli adds．
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm．"He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen，"David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review．
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film．"Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，"the Fox News review says．
For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue （composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924）is played in the background．
（1）What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success？
A．He adapted the story in the novel as he wished．
B．He made the film more powerful than the book．
C．He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay．
D．He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film．
（2）What is Taroli's attitude towards the film？
A．Favorable．
B．Sceptical．
C．Amazed．
D．Unconcerned．
（3）What are the characteristics of Gatsby？
A．Faithful and warm-hearted．
B．Charming and professional．
C．Selfish and stubborn．
D．Mysterious and devoted．
（4）Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph？
A．Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby．
B．Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well．
C．Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music．
D．Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director．
