212588. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中）     Sitting in the garden for my friend's birthday.I felt a buzz（振动） in my pocket.My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name.The email started off："Dear Mr Green，thank you for your interest" and "the review process took longer than expected."It ended with"We are sorry to inform you…"and my vision blurred（模糊）.The position-measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme-had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying，and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
   So I waocked when，not long after the email，Professor Mary Devon，who was running the programme，invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance，and a few weeks later I was equally shocked-and overjoyed-when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to，but I was going to give it my all.
   I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely.That project，which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert，not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end.I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
   When I applied to graduate school，I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction.And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before.When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit，it was undoubtedly difficult.But this time I had the perspective（视角）to keep it from sending me into panic.It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
   Rather than setting plans in stone，I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered，even if they don't sound perfect at the time，and make the most of them.

（1）How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender's name？
A．Anxious.
B．Angry.
C．Surprised.

（2）After talking with Professor Devon，the author decided to        .
A．criticise the review process
B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C．apply to the original project again
D．put his heart and soul into the lab work
（3）According to the author，the project with the robotics professor was        .
A．demanding
B．inspiring
C．misleading
D．amusing
（4）What can we learn from this passage？
A．An invitation is a reputation.

[解析]

（1）观点态度题。根据文章第一段My heart raced when I saw the email sender's name.The email started off："Dear Mr Green，thank you for your interest" and "the review process took longer than expected."It ended with"We are sorry to inform you…"and my vision blurred（当我看到电子邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速。邮件开头写道："亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注"和"审查过程比预期的要长。"它以"我们很抱歉地通知你……"结束，我的视线模糊了）可知作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据文章第二段So I was shocked when，not long after the email，Professor Mary Devon，who was running the programme，invited me to observe the work being done in her lab.I jumped at the chance，and a few weeks later I was equally shocked﹣and overjoyed﹣when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab.What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to，but I was going to give it my all.（因此，当邮件发出后不久，项目负责人玛丽•德文教授邀请我去观察她实验室的工作时，我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会，几周后，当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里进行的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊和欣喜。她提出的建议似乎没有我申请的最初项目那么令人兴奋，但我会全力以赴。）可知与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章第三段 I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely.That project，which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert，not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn't.In the end.I had a new scientific interest to pursue.（我发现自己正在和一位机器人学教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。那个项目，我可以在我的沙发上完成，而不是在炎热的沙漠中，它不仅经受住了封锁，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。我有了新的科学兴趣去追求。）可知机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Rather than setting plans in stone，I've learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered，even if they don't sound perfect at the time，and make the most of them.（我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划。）可知本文主要讲述了最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。因此C.A rejection can be a redirection."拒绝可以是重定向"符合题意。故选C。

202006. （2023•昆仑中学•二模） The classic 1951 science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"features a frightening robot（Gort） whose threatening actions are under control only when he is commanded，"Klaatubaradanikto".What does this mean？I don't know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.
   I teach at a university.One of the"problems"is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn't an issue，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.
   Let me illustrate：Recently，when I walked into my class，my students were chatting happily with each other.One of their comments caught my ear："Venmo it to me."I had no idea what "Venmo"meant，so I asked.The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me，and in return I nodded with an expression of silly embarrassment，as if I should have known better..
   I went home that evening，absorbed in that moment of non-comprehension.I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five-year nap，I'd have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn't understand the language.
   Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort，and I congratulate myself on at least having the desire to know what they're talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
   But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon？The answer，to me，is clear：Klaatubaradanikto.

（1）What did the author probably meet with？
A．Hearing loss.
B．Cultural shock.
C．A language barrier.
D．A frightening robot.
（2）What makes the author fall behind in language？
A．Learning needs.
B．Age difference.
C．Teaching loads.
D．Language abuse.
（3）What does the author think of language change？
A．It is entirely avoidable.
B．It is really small.
C．It is very beneficial.
D．It is much too rapid.
（4）What does the underlined word"wanes"mean in the last paragraph？
A．Lessens.
B．Grows.
C．Happens.
D．Maintains.

   The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine（峡谷）．When it hit bottom，Rocky woke up． "What happened，Mama？" He asked， "Our wheels are pointing toward the sky．"

205488. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） "What's your 'Thing of the Day'？" I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate．This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime．Usually，it's followed with， "Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch．" And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends．
   But，this day，my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class．I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation．The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to．It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone．
   I thought about the situation all night．I vacillated between meeting the teachers，meeting the parents of the classmates，and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly．
   I waited until the next day after school．On the car ride home，I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation．My son was surprised that I brought it up again． "What？No，it's over，Mom．They're my friends．They were just being stupid．They apologized．Forgive and forget，you know？We're all good．"
   I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing．But as I watched him over the next days and weeks，everything seemed "normal"．Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the "forgive and forget" way of life？

205507. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） More than 30 years ago，there was a well-known boxer named Eugene Hart．Hart was heavily favored to win his next round against an ungifted boxer，Antuofermo．It was said that the only thing that Antuofermo could do was "he bled well"．However，here was an important thing．He had good qualities that you couldn't see．
   During the fight，Hart controlled Antuofermo，knocking him down and giving him a good beating．Antuofermo absorbed the punishment that was dealt to him by his naturally superior opponent，and he did it so well that Hart became discouraged．In the fifth round，Hart began to tire，not physically but mentally．Taking advantage of the situation，Antuofermo attacked and knocked Hart down，thus ending the fight．
   When the fighters went back to their temporary restrooms，only a thin curtain was between them．Hart's room was quiet，but on the other side he could hear Antuofermo's coach talking about who would take the fighter to the hospital．Finally he heard Antuofermo saying， "Every time he hit me with that left hook（左勾拳）to the body，I thought I was going to quit．After the second round，I thought if he hit me there again，I'd quit．I thought the same thing after the fourth round．But he stopped hitting me there．"
   At that moment，Hart began to weep．He was crying because for the first time he understood that Antuofermo had felt the same way he had and even worse．And the only thing that distinguished the guy who was talking from the guy who was crying was perseverance（毅力）．The coward （懦夫）and the hero had the same emotions．They're both humans．
   The important question to ask yourself here is this：How does each man respond to the tough situation that they are experiencing？Maybe you are in a tough position right now or，if not，one might be coming．How will you react？Like a hero or a coward？

（1）What can we learn from paragraph 1？

203775. （2024•铁一中学•高一上期末） Jack was born without eyes.He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens（young cats） to socialize with，and was used to people from the moment he was born.However，when it came time to find the kittens homes，no one knew where Jack would end up.

Now think about your school．Sure，no one is trying to eat you alive，but you too are a social animal．And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment．From day one，you sense that there's safety in numbers．And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs，you feel more secure．"When I first walked into my new high school last year，I was so nervous，"says Mike，15，a high school student in New York City．"Everyone sat and walked together，in twos or threes-sometimes as a'group' of five or more people．I didn't understand how I would ever belong．"
Mike isn't alone．In a survey，63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular，and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups．
It is believed that to be popular is to be liked．But all popular people aren't necessarily liked．They just make rules．Popular groups aren't the only ones making rules．Zoe，a freshman from New York，says that even her close crew，which calls itself the"booknerds（书呆子），"has unspoken guidelines．When Zoe wears makeup or a dress，her friends act like she's betrayed them："They'll say，'Oh，she's painting her nails．She's a popular girl now．'They're joking，but they're not，if you know what I mean．It makes me upset．"
"Because of the way the teen brain works，differences are seen as threatening，"says researcher Alexandra Robbins．"But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood．"
Take，for example，Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5．In high school，he was a"nerdy，awkward kid crazy about music．"Now he's successful and famous．Then there's Taylor Swift：Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her，she put her energy into songwriting．
（1）When Mike first came to his high school，he        ．
A．was excited to make new friends
B．was proud of his new pretty school
C．was pretty nervous about his coming exams
D．was worried about finding new companions
（2）Which of the following would the author most probably agree with？
A．Most of us like popular people．
B．Only popular groups make rules．
C．Being popular is important to students．
D．There are always some rules in a group．
（3）Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress，her friends        ．
A．praise her
B．appear unhappy
C．are proud of her
D．are envious of her
（4）Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student？
A．She was very popular．
B．She had many friends．

205368. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） "Hi，Mrs Grady，" said Mark when their neighbor opened her door， " Would you like us to shovel your sidewalk and driveway ？" Shoveling was Jamie's idea，a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day．
   Mrs．Grady was happy， " That would be wonderful，boys．I think the job is getting to be too much for me．"
   "It will cost 10 dollars，" Jamie said，" If that's OK"，Mark added．
   "Oh dear，"Mrs．Grady said disappointedly， " I haven't been able to get to the bank．I can offer homemade cookies，but I realize that's not what you had in mind．"
   Mark was going to say that Mrs．Grady could pay them another time，but Jamie cut him off，" We'll come back later．"
   Mrs．Grady doesn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr．Dunn's collie，Goldie had just wanted to play ，but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs．He wanted to call for help，but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth．Then Mrs．Grady's front door had flown open．She must have seen him from across the street． " Hold on ，Mark．I'm coming!" "Goldie" she'd called．As soon as Goldie had turned her head，Mrs．Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog．She wasn't much taller than Mark，but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him．"Goldie，go home!" Then she'd swept her broom to hurry the dog along．"" Get!" Goldie had obeyed．
   When Mark showed thanks to Mrs．Grady，Mrs．Grady laughed"It was nothing．Good neighbors watch out for each other，don't they？ "
   And now Mrs．Grady needed Mark as much as he'd needed her last summer．He smiled and waved at Mrs．Grady，then hiovel deep into the snow．
   "Hey!" Jamie shouted， "What are you doing？ " Mark couldn't explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors． "I like Mrs．Grady's cookies．" he said．

203638. （2025•西安八十五中•高二上期末） I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet，I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
    Last May，I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history，migrations，and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao（the Southern Silk Road），the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake，the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
    I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28，2021，we set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.We woke up at sunrise，set off in high spirits，and rested at sunset，dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
    We met many people on the road.Some were curious，surrounding us and watching us；some gave us directions；some invited us into their home to take a rest；some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls，simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
    Together，we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains，I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
    Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul，I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake，while healthy and admirable，is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us，shortening the distance between each other，and sharing each other's cultures.

（1）How did the writer first respond to Paul's travel plan？
A．Scared.
B．Puzzled.
C．Disappointed.
D．Surprised.
（2）What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2？
A．He was a western journalist.
B．He had a knowledge of China.
C．He came to China several times.
D．He was Joseph Rock's acquaintance.
（3）What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul？
A．They honored the ancestors.
B．They set off in high spirits.
C．They satisfied the locals' curiosity.
D．They built bonds with people.
（4）What is the main purpose of the writer's writing the text？
A．To share and reflect on a journey.
B．To suggest a new way of travel.
C．To advocate protection of biodiversity.
D．To introduce and promote Chinese culture.

212589. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中） We journalists live in a new age of storytelling，with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don't even realize it's new.For them，it's just normal.
   This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures- a perfect match for his age.
   Picture this：my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read，he reaches out and pokes（戳）the page with his finger.
   What's up with that？He just likes the pictures，I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused：Is there something wrong with this kid？
   Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that.
   Sorry，kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It's an outdated，lifeless thing.An antique，like your grandfather.Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites.
   There's one notable gap in my new-media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing，Tianjin and Hebei province.
   Anyway，grandpa is now an internet star- two minutes of fame!I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

Working with her father in their garage，the 16-year-old came up with several ideas．Finally，she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!She calls the device iCPooch．"The dog doesn't have to answer the call，"explains Brooke．"It comes up immediately on the screen on their end．It's a two-way audio and video-you can see and hear each other．"With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!

The finalists create models they can test，with the guidance from a mentor．Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or calling．Langer-Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method，testing their hypothesis，in a determined way．"So the kids don't get buried in data，"she said．
