205920. （2016•西北大附中•高一下期末） Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys？ The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the Egyptians，green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．In China，children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils．
   People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them．Green is said to be the most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically．People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches．
   Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites（食欲）．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．Similarly，many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye．
   Blue is another calming color．Unlike red，blue can cause people to lose appetite．So if you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help．
   The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room，think about the color carefully．

（1）Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their
A．cultural values
B．commercial purposes

202976. （2017•西安中学•三模） Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States．It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season．Although it's not an official holiday，millions of employers give their employees the day off，and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping．A similar day in Canada and
Great Britain is called"Boxing Day"．
Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years．Since 2005，it has been the busiest shopping day of the year．To lure shoppers，retailers （零售商）routinely open their doors as early as 4 a．m．and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early．Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities．That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they'll be the first in line when the doors open．
But why Black Friday？Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s．Bus drivers and police used"Black Friday"to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving aoppers headed to the stores．
Businesses，however，didn't like the negative tone associated with the"Black Friday"name．In the early 1980s，a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate．According to this alternative explanation，Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year．In accounting terms （会计行业），operating at a loss is called being"in the red"because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts．Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink．Thus，being"in the black"is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit．
Recently，for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just don't want to fight the crowds，the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday （网络星期一） for the many online deals．

（1）On Black Friday，the Americans        ．
A．don't have to go to work as usual
B．look exactly like the Canadians
C．are usually busy doing shopping
D．stay at home and relax themselves
（2）The underlined word"lure"（in Paragraph 2）probably means        ．
A．protect
B．attract
C．persuade
D．remind
（3）How do the retailers understand Black Friday？
A．It is totally different from Boxing Day．
B．They usually lose some money on the day．
C．It never keeps them very busy．
D．It probably brings them more money．
（4）The author writes this passage in order to        ．
A．state the development of Cyber Monday
B．tell the difference between red and black
C．introduce Black Friday to the readers
D．explain the meaning of Boxing Day．

205040. （2022•莲湖区•高二下期末） Like many of the arts，music flourished during the Zhou dynasty.From this period we have instruments，models of performers，descriptions of musicians and dancers，and the Shijing，or The Book of Poetry，which contains poems and songs of court and common people during the Zhou dynasty.It is likely that music played an extremely important role in the Zhou dynasty for all social classes.
   One of the most important sources of information the researchers have regarding Zhou-dynasty music is from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng （433 B.C.E.）.This tomb was uncovered in 1977 in Hubei Province and contained the most extensive and well-preserved set of musical instruments ever found in an ancient Chinese tomb.This four-chamber （室） tomb was designed in imitation of a palace with a central courtyard，reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi would require the same comforts in the afterlife that he had enjoyed during his lifetime.The central chamber of the tomb，which reflected a palace courtyard，contained most of the musical instruments found，including a complete set of sixty-five graduated bells fixed on wooden shelves.In addition，twenty-one young women were buried with the Marquis Yi，some of whom were likely his favorite musicians and dancers.
   The Marquis Yi's set of sixty-five bells is remarkable for a variety of reasons.First，they are clearly dated—an inscription （碑文） indicates that the bells were a gift given to him in 433 B.C.E. .Second，the bells were very expensive to produce and to purchase，particularly a set of this size，so they are further evidence of the Marquis Yi's status.Finally，the bells，along with the other instruments in the room，illustrate what an instrumental band might have consisted of during this period.Scholars predict that it would have required twenty-four musicians to play all instruments at once.
   There are still many gaps in our knowledge of ancient Chinese music，partly because there was no system for recording music in a written form.

（1）The Book of Poetry is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to        .
A．show the significance of the book
B．show the popularity of music in the Zhou dynasty
C．describe the meaning and the history of the book
D．represent the life of people in the Zhou dynasty
（2）According to the passage，what can we know about the tomb？
A．It contains all kinds of musical instruments.
B．It is designed by the Marquis Yi of Zeng.
C．It reflects the wish of the Marquis Yi for his life after death.
D．It is of the same size as that of the palace.
（3）Why is the set of sixty-five bells extraordinary？
A．Because it might prove the Marquis Yi's position.
B．Because it was difficult to buy at that time.
C．Because it once was an expensive gift.
D．Because it needs 24 performers to play at the same time.
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the text？
A．Health.
B．Business.
C．Sports.
D．Art.

205841. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） Ireland has had a very difficult history．The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer （征服） Ireland．For hundreds of years，the Irish people fought against the English．Finally，in 1921，the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland．The result is that today there are two"Irelands"．Northern Ireland，in the north，is part of the United Kingdom．The Republic of Ireland，in the south，is an independent country．
   In the 1840s the main crop，potatoes，was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger．This，and a shortage （短缺） of work，forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA，the UK，Australia and Canada．As a result of these problems，the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851．

   The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly．Oscar Wilde，a famous Irish writer，once said that the Irish were"the greatest talkers since the Greeks"．Since independence，Ireland has revived （复兴） its own culture of music，language，literature and singing．Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments．Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin，whistles，etc．

205962. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） Easter（复活节） is still a great day for worship，randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies．
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The culprit is climate change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US．
Take the Lower Keys March rabbit，for instance．An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys，this species of cottontail is a great swimmer-it lives on the islands!-but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels．According to the Center for Biological Diversity，an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat （栖息地） completely．
The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color issue．Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer，each designed to give them better cover from predators（捕食者）．As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country，however，more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators．Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight，but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question．The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down．
American pikas or rock rabbits，a relative of rabbits and hares，might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change．About 7-8 inches long，pikas live high in the cool，damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains．As global temperatures rise，they would naturally migrate （迁徙） to higher ground-but they already occupy the mountaintops．They can't go any higher．The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem．These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico，and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters，but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher，so they are stuck in the middle．Scientists are concerned about their populations．
Native to the US，pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West．They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world．Their habitats have been destroyed by development．Several populations，such as the Columbia Basin pygmy，almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs．Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators，but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed．
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter．
（1）The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to        ．
A．show the importance of Easter Day
B．remind people of Easter traditions
C．introduce the issue about bunnies
D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
（2）The word"culprit"（ Paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to        ．
A．producer
B．judge
C．victim
D．criminal
（3）Which best describes the writer's tone in the postage？
A．Concerned．
B．Approving．
C．Enthusiastic．
D．Doubtful．

202804. （2020•西安中学•三模） By the 1970s，the Olympic Marathon had come a long way from the dusty roads of Athens．Yet women were still not allowed to compete and the struggle to establish a women's Olympic Marathon was itself something of a long-distance race．
   Women had been excluded from long-distance running until 1928，when the typical long race was the 800 meters．The women competitors hadn't properly prepared for the race and several fell down and became temporarily unconscious due to extreme tiredness．This led Olympic organizers in 1928 to consider the marathon too violent for women．
   This is not to say there was no tradition of women's long-distance running．Women had been prohibited from participating in the ancient Olympics by the cruel law．But women in ancient Greece held their own festival to honor the goddess Hera every five years．Only one athletic event was held - a running race．
   When the Olympics were revived in 1896，women were again excluded．However，in 1967，women's ability in running attracted great attention．Number 261 in the Boston Marathon was given to K V．Switzer．Not until two miles into the race did officials realize that Switzer was a woman．Race officials tried to catch Switzer and remove her from the race but her teammates fended them off with body blocks．And Switzer wasn't scared by officials' aggressive actions．She kept running．Although the running was demanding，Switzer didn't give up and eventually finished the race．Switzers story made the quest for equality in long-distance running for women a political issue．Slowly，the rules did begin to change．
   The first women's marathon officially agreed by the IAAF was the Tokyo International，held in 1979．IAAF president Adriaan Paulen watched the race．He was so impressed by the level of the competition that he announced he would fully support the effort to establish a women's marathon in the Olympics．Soon the IAAF recommended to the IOC that a women's marathon be included in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics．And the advice was adopted．

（1）What was the reason for women's failing to attend the Olympic Marathon in 1928？
A．They generally weren't enthusiastic about it．
B．They were thought not strong enough for it．
C．They weren't supported by the public to attend it．
D．They were too tired to make full preparations for it．
（2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3？
A．separated
B．banned
C．freed
D．protected
（3）Which of the following best describe Switzer？
A．Brave and determined．
B．Talented and kind．
C．Honest and easygoing．
D．Optimistic and clever．
（4）What's Adriaan Paulen's contribution to women's running？
A．Letting women have the right to compete against men in running．

203542. （2025•铁一中学•高二上期末）     Released on Aug 30，a three-episode web series titled Escape From the British Museum has gone viral online for its touching and innovative narrative （叙事）.The series follows the journey home of a Chinese jade teapot that has come to life as a girl.She runs away from the British Museum and comes across a Chinese journalist who helps the artifact return to China.The series，created by two Chinese vloggers，aims to raise broader awareness of Chinese artifacts that were stolen or looted （掠夺） from China and are displayed or stored in the British Museum.
    The video series echoes the Chinese people's call for the British Museum to return these Chinese artifacts.However，some UK media outlets said that the video series promotes nationalism （民族主义）.In fact，every country whose artifacts are displayed or stored in the British Museum wants them back.These countries，such as Greece，Nigeria and Sudan，have already issued their demands for the return of artifacts.It's fair enough to say these demands are shared.They can correct centuries-old wrongs by having the UK return artifacts to their rightful homes.
    An opinion in the UK newspaper The Telegraph said that if the British Museum gives back its collection of artifacts，then nationalism will win over humanity's common heritage.It also said that the artifacts were "lawfully acquired （合法取得） " by the UK.By "lawfully acquired"，does the writer mean the artifacts were acquired with the "help" of machine guns and warships？Or does he mean that the cultural artifacts of African，Asian and American countrieould be kept in the hands of looters，rather than in their land of origin？

（1）What is the video series Escape from the British Museum mainly about？
A.Cultural artifacts looted by the UK.
B.Hidden dangers in the British Museum.
C.The arguments about the British museum.
D.The journey of a Chinese artifact coming home.
（2）What does the video series aim to highlight？
A.Protests against UK's nationalism.
B.The beauty of Chinese cultural artifacts.
C.The desire of stolen artifacts to be returned.
D.Efforts made by Chinese activists to get artifacts back.
（3）What's the author's purpose in mentioning countries like Greece，Nigeria and Sudan？
A.To show the UK did something wrong in the past.
B.To stress China's demands are shared by many countries.
C.To emphasize former colonized countries have grown stronger.
D.To highlight diverse artifacts are housed in the British Museum.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward the opinion in The Telegraph？
A.It's totally unacceptable.
B.It's a little bit reasonable.
C.It lacks enough evidence.
D.It shows the writer's ignorance.

   During the Middle Ages，the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it was considered as a symbol of power.By 1680，the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.
   By the eighteenth century，the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas did not change much in style during all this time，though they became much lighter in weight.It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colours.

203861. （2024•长安区•高一上期末）     Do you speak a dialect（方言）in daily life？While many Chinese people speak Mandarin，some local dialects are in danger of disappearing.To save them，the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
    This project looks at how people talk in 1，712 places.Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone.It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world.There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips（音频）and over 5 million videos.
    Why is it important to protect the dialect culture？According to British linguist Harold Palmer，dialects are a key to store local cultures.Language faithfully shows the history，the beliefs and the biases（偏见）of an area，he said.
    Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets， "For about over 10 years，in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou，children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect.Meanwhile，young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it，but not very well.If this keeps happening，the dialect might disappear，" he said.
    So how did China make this big library？ "A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen，" said Cao Zhiyun，chief expert on the project.Over five years，more than 350 universities and research groups joined in，along with over 4，500 experts and more than 6，000 dialect speakers.
    The project is now entering into its second part.This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.

203305. （2016•西工大附中•十模） As children grow and develop，they'll begin to show interest in many different things．They'll start to give more attention to certain things that really interest them，some of which will turn into dreams．
（36）       But for goals that are so far off and often so big，how do we even start to provide guidance？
Have Them Write Down Their Dream．Writing down the dream allows them to see the idea in the first steps of fabrication and helps them stay responsible for their goal．
Research Their Dream．（37）       Research will also give them important information on what they'll need in order to turn the dream into reality．
Make A Timeline For Achievement．Setting a date for achievement of a goal helps keep you focused．For children，the goal could be，"within 5 years after I graduate from college"，or，"before I turn 16．"
（38）       How do you plan on achieving your goal？What steps are you going to take？What education or special skills do you need to accomplish your goal？
Focus on the Dream and Develop Perseverance．The first step is to get focused，which is the fuel that drives people to achieve．Perseverance is the extra push you need to be able to give yourself when things start to slow down （or seem like they're slowing down）．（39）
Play Games．Develop games or challenges that allow your children to make small achievements．Or simply ask them if they have any smaller dreams or goals that they want to accomplish sooner．（40）       If children can achieve on a small scale，they'll learn two important things：achieving on a large scale is possible；the process of achieving works．The importance of this process isn't really about the initial dream．It's about teaching children how to achieve anything．We want them to learn the process so that even if their dreams change，their chances of success do not．

A．Show Your Support and Set a Good Example．
B．As far as kids are concerned，anything is possible．
C．If your goal is to help your children achieve these dreams，you should show them how and help lead the way．
D．The more they learn about their dream，the more realistic it becomes．
E．Use these things as teaching tools．
F．A dream without a determined attitude is simply a"once was．"
G．Develop a Plan of Action．
