212590. （2025•西安中学•高二下期中） An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle，a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
   Salah Sukkarieh，a professor at the University of Sydney，sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags（标签）on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape，color and texture （质地）of grass.That way，cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
   Machines have largely taken over planting，watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat，but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
   For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds，it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds，who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago，still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
   Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey Paris，vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association，said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen，making them appealing targets.

（1）What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry？
A．Soil pollution.
B．Lack of workers.
C．Aging machines.
D．Low profitability.
（2）What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do？
A．Monitor the quality of grass.
B．Cure the diseased cattle.
C．Move cattle to another field.
D．Predict weather changes.
（3）Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle？
A．He wants to help them earn a living.
B．He thinks men can do the job better.
C．He is inexperienced in using robots.
D．He enjoys the traditional way of life.
（4）How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey？
A．Increase the value of cattle.
B．Bring down the cost of labor.
C．Make the job more appealing.
D．Keep cattle from being stolen.

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

205944. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） In Africa，wild baboons（狒狒） like banding together to find food and protect each other．They may not be the smartest species，but like all animals，survival instincts（本能） are programmed into their DNA．They know that being together makes them safer．
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．

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？

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.

（1）What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2？

205386. （2020•西安中学•高三上期末） Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State，after spotting them running around and idly wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads．Today，everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl"．
   Mary started bringing them food，and gradually they began to trust her．She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture．Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits，she started posting similar photos on Facebook．The response was greatly positive，and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation．
   Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College，Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home，but she didn't interact with people very much．She was later diagnosed （诊断） with Asperger's syndrome，but the squirrels changed that． "The squirrels help me break the ice，because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them，" she said， "I am a lot more outgoing．"
   And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos，it has a lot to do with food．For example，whenever she wants them to hold or play with something，she puts peanut butter on the prop （道具），and they'll grab it．But getting to that part took a while．In the beginning，she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them，but they hesitated to approach her．She had the patience to earn their trust，though．

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.

203302. （2016•西工大附中•十模） Brooke Martin's golden retriever（金毛猎犬） Kayla hated being left alone or separated．She would howl，pace，and chew on things．Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets．She wondered："What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone？"
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!

"One thing I have thought about a lot is，what happens if the device is on the floor，what if your dog knocks it over，or scratches the screen？"Martin said．She and Langer-Anderson discussed this，and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floors to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws．
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．
