（1）细节理解题。根据Alyssa Greene部分Though she exercised，she didn't pay much attention to her diet and her overall health until she realized a change had to be made.Over the next 2.5 years，she self﹣educated about nutrition and learnt what and how much to eat to get the results she wanted.（尽管她锻炼，但她并没有太注意自己的饮食和整体健康，直到她意识到她必须做出改变。在接下来的两年半里，她自学了营养知识，学会了吃什么和吃多少才能达到她想要的效果）可知，格林是通过改变饮食习惯减肥的。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据Tanisha Commodore部分Over eight months，Commodore lost 80 pounds. "You didn't put it on overnight，so don't expect to lose it overnight，" she notes.（在八个多月的时间里，Commodore减掉了80磅。她指出："你不是在一夜之间增加体重，所以不要指望一夜之间就会减掉它。"）可知，Commodore表示人们不要指望一夜之间减肥，即建议人们要有耐心。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据Alyssa Greene部分Today，Greene has lost 50 pounds and relies on self﹣discipline as her key motivator. "I do what I want for me，no one else，" she says. "For people who have a hard time making a lifestyle change because of family or friends or a significant other，it really boils down to discipline."（如今，格林已经瘦了50磅，依靠自律作为她的主要动力。"我为自己做我想做的事，而不是别人，"她说。"对于那些因为家人、朋友或重要的另一半而难以改变生活方式的人来说，这真的可以归结为自制力。"）以及 Denita Elizabeth部分Remember：you need to develop discipline and commitment for the moments when you don't feel like it.（记住：当你不喜欢它的时候，你需要培养自制力和承诺）可知，格林和伊丽莎白的共同点是她们都拥有自制力。故选B。

203596. （2025•交大附中•高一上期末）     When "irregardless" was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary，it caused wide disagreements. "Irregardless"has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795，when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it."We do not make the English language，and we merely record it，"the dictionary's staff wrote in"Words of the Week".
    "The word's definition，when we read it，would seem to be without regard.However，Merriam-Webster defines 'irregardless' as 'nonstandard' but meaning the same as 'regardless.' According to Merriam-Webster， 'Many people find "irregardless" to be a ridiculous word，as the ir-prefix usually indicates a negative meaning；however，in this case，it appears to make the meaning of "regardless" stronger.'"
    "It's not a real word.I don't care what the dictionary says."responds author Michelle Ray，who teaches English in Silver Spring，Md.And she saye's still planning to mark"irregardless"as incorrect on her students' work.
    An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John Melntyre's commentary on Saturday："Irregardless' is too a word；you just don't understand dictionaries.People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document.But actually，it's not.It's just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled，how they are pronounced，what meanings they have and where they came from."
    "The dictionary's recognition doesn't enroll a word as correct in the English language，"McIntyre says."It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English.And here's what we know about it."So it's a word，but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.

（1）What's the function of the first paragraph？
A.To criticize the use of "irregardless".
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To make a definition of "irregardless".
D.To give an example.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A. "Irregardless"had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.
B.The dictionary's staff rarely record the English language.
C.Michelle Ray thinks the use of"irregardless" formal but incorrect.
D.People are still not encouraged to use"irregardless"in formal writing.
（3）What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of "irregardless"in Merriam-Webster dictionary？
A.Favorable.
B.Conservative.
C.Indifferent.
D.Ambiguous.
（4）Which of the following sentences best summarizes the main idea of the passage？
A."Irregardless"is frequently used in formal writing.
B."Irregardless"shouldn't be included in the dictionary.
C.Regardless of what you think，"irregardless"is a word.

202225. （2022•临潼区•一模） It is generally acknowledged that a time-out，a method of checking misbehavior by removing the child from his or her current situation for a few minutes of quiet time，is bad for children's emotional and behavioral health.However，a new study suggests that despite always getting criticized，the common disciplinary（纪律的）strategy isn't linked to harmful effects on children.
   Researchers compared emotional and behavioral health between kids whose parents reported using time-outs and those who didn't over a roughly eight-year period.The result：no difference.There was no association between reported use of time-outs and negative symptoms in later childhood，including anxiety，depression，internalizing or externalizing problems，aggression，rule-breaking behavior，or self-control，according to the findings in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics（儿科学）.
   "Parents are constantly questioning whether they are doing the right thing for their children.Unfortunately the first place many parents go for advice is the Internet-not a medical provider.There is a lot of conflicting information on the Web that isn't accurate，" says lead author Rachel Knight，PhD，pediatric psychologist at University of Michigan C.S.Mott Children's Hospital. "In fact，they may not be aware that time-out is one of the child discipline strategies currently recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics."
   Further studies are needed to continue evaluating specific claims made against time-outs and both their short-term and long-term effects across different populations and ages.Experts also need to find more effective ways to communicate evidence-based information to parents.
   "As we further our understanding about how different parenting strategies affect children，we need to present findings in an easily digestible and accessible way for the public，" she also says，"Our goal is to clear up misconceptions and promote the use of the highly effective，evidence-based strategies that will best guide parents and families."

（1）What do people generally think of a time-out？
A．It has negative effects on children.
B．It is an ineffective way of punishment.
C．It is a method to assess children's misbehavior.
D．It has nothing to do with harmful effects on children.
（2）What can be inferred from Knight's words in the third paragraph？
A．Most young parents lack medical knowledge.
B．Some information on the Internet needs regulating.
C．She is concerned about the overuse of time-outs.
D．The more time-outs are used，the better children behave.
（3）What is the target of Knight's further research？
A．To recommend some effective strategies to parents.
B．To remove people's misunderstanding about time-outs.
C．To appeal to government to regulate information on the Net.
D．To warn parents of getting evidence-based information from experts.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．How Parents Use Time-out Correctly.
B．Time-outs Bad for Children's Behavioral Health.
C．Some Highly Effective Strategies to Guide Parents.
D．Time-outs Not Associated with Negative Effects on Children.

204941. （2022•阎良区•高二下期末） Noise created by humans，such as car traffic，quieted by about 30% between late March and early May，2020，when Governor Greg Abbott closed schools and restaurants across Texas，according to analysis by researchers at Southern Methodist University （SMU）.
   "There was quite a big change in some areas，" said Stephen Arrowsmith，a seismologist at SMU，who took on the project with a class of undergraduate and graduate students.Arrowsmith and his students looked at data from a dozen seismometers （地震仪） across North Texas.Seismometers are used to detect earthquakes，but they are sensitive to just about everything that makes the ground vibrate，such as strong winds，ocean waves，construction and traffic.
   The innovative idea of using seismometers to track urban noise gained popularity last March when Belgian seismologist Thomas Lecocq posted some of his urban noise data from Brussels on Twitter.Lecocq，of the Royal Observatory of Belgium，received such an enthusiastic response from scientists that he launched the group "Lockdown Seismology" online. "It's where bored seismologists around the world are working together，" Arrowsmith joked.
   Arrowsmith hopes his findings will contribute to a growing list of creative ways in which researchers are using seismometers.In his course，Arrowsmith teaches students how seismic stations can help investigators solve crimes，like terrorist bombings，aid scientists in tracking nuclear tests or assist inspectors in investigating accidents，like chemical plant explosions.One potential application of his research is to better understand the shallow layers of Earth beneath cities. "That could be useful in places where there's a real seismic hazard，like San Francisco or Los Angeles，" he said， "where just knowing what that shallow structure is tells you a lot about how it would respond in a big earthquake."

（1）What did the researchers do to obtain the data of noise in Texas？
A．They observed car traffic.
B．They surveyed their students.
C．They consulted the governor.
D．They employed Seismometers.
（2）What is a direct result of Lecocq's posting some of his urban noise data？
A．Urban noise is reduced.
B．Crime investigation is simplified.
C．Seismologists are attracted.
D．Earthquake detection is improved.
（3）What does the underlined word "hazard" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．Risk.
B．Spot.
C．Assistance.
D．Report.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the seismometer？
A．Its possible risks.
B．Its potential applications.
C．Its appeal to the public.
D．Its market value.

202121. （2022•西安中学•二模） The new radio programme from self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things，she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her，because saying a polite but firm "no" is one of the basics for a happy life.I was，however，interested when she raised the idea that perhaps，as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries，we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away？
   Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed；somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case？As I listened，I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
   There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics，I wouldn't take it - which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
   There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal - which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
   And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent，it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me，even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
   Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time？Did I need to figure them all out again？I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place，and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that，when it comes to boundaries，I'm a beginner again，and that's fine.In fact，being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.

（1）What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme？
A．The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
（2）What can be concluded as to the author's views on boundaries？
A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
（3）How did the author feel about boundaries after the adjustments？
A．Relaxed.
B．Depressed.
C．Pressured.
D．Amused.
（4）What is probably the best title for the passage？
A．Just when you think you've got things sorted...
B．Just where you believe there's no way out...
C．How can we live a life without boundaries？
D．How do we become victims of boundaries？

204479. （2023•莲湖区•高一上期末） In January 2020，over a bottle of wine，Tulane University students Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz were sharing their disappointment about having no glass recycling（回收利用） in New Orleans.They wanted to create a system that would recycle glass into something useful.With that，their grassroots glass recycling organization，Glass Half Full，was born.
   In a period of a global sand shortage，Glass Half Full is creating a way to compete with sand digging and mining，which disturb ecosystems，damage coastlines，and cost millions of dollars.Louisiana，where the organization is based，loses on average a football field of coastal wetlands an hour.Glass Half Full creates sand that，among other things，is used to rebuild coastlines and prevent floods.
   Glass and drink bottles are collected through a system of free drop-off collecting stations and roadside pickup.The glass is pulverized （粉碎），separated and recollected for use in varieties of projects.The sand and glass pieces are used for disaster prevention，coastal rebuild，eco-construction，and new glass products.
   Founders Trautmann and Steitz also hope their project will make people think that they have the power to work to protect the environment as individuals（个人）and as a community.Trautmann said， "We always hear， 'Oh，we can't do anything about global warming.We can't do anything about the environment.It's all the big companies and the government.It's up to them. 'But when you collect glass over one year，you will know individuals can do something.All those little things add up to something much bigger. "
   Glass Half Full's work is supported by a team of volunteers and crowdfunding efforts，making it truly a community effort.A successful one，too—in their very first year，they helped to recycle over 650，000 pounds of glass.

（1）What is the idea behind Glass Half Full？
A．Selling more recyclable glass.
B．Recycling glass into something useful.

D．Repair.
（3）What iown in paragraph 3？
A．The result of glass recycling.

202043. （2022•西安中学•四模） Boredom is such a large part of day-to-day existence.Perhaps because it's common in our lives，scientists have been slow to explore it.John Eastwood is one of the first scholars to take an interest.
   One of the most common false views is that "only boring people get bored".
   Yet as Eastwood set about exploring the reasons for boredom，he found that there are two distinct types of personality that tend to suffer from the feeling of boredom，and neither are particularly dull themselves.
   Boredom often goes among people who are constantly looking for new experiences.For these people，the steady path of life just isn't enough to hold their attention.The second kind of bored people have almost exactly the opposite problem：the world is a fearful place，and so they try not to step outside their comfort zone.While this might offer some comfort，they are not always satisfied with the safety it offers and boredom results.
   Emotionould evolve for our benefit. "The very fact that boredom is a daily experience suggests it should be doing something useful，" says Heather Lench at Texas A&M University.Feelings like fear help us avoid danger，after all，while sadness might help prevent future mistakes.So，if true，what does boredom achieve？
   Reviewing the evidence so far，Lench suspects that it lies behind one of our most important characters---curiosity.Boredom，she says，pushes us to try to seek new goals or explore new ideas which stimulate innovation（激发创新）.
   Eastwood is less enthusiastic about boredom's benefits，but admits we should be cautious about looking for an immediate escape. "The feeling is so disgusting that people rush to remove it， " he says." I'm not going to join that war on boredom and come up with a cure，because we need to listen to the emotion and ask what it is trying to tell us to do. "

（1）What does John Eastwood's study mainly focus on？
A．Why people get bored.
B．The benefits of boredom.
C．How to deal with boredom.
D．The types of boredom.
（2）According to Lench，boredom        .
A．would help us avoid mistakes
B．cannot be cured for the moment
C．might be good for our creativity
D．could make us get tired and lose focus
（3）What's Eastwood's attitude towards finding a cure for boredom？
A．Curious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Objective.
D．Uninterested.
（4）What message can be concluded from the text？
A．Easier said than done.
B．Hard work never killed a man.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Every coin has two sides.

201637. （2025•铁一中学•六模）     Imagine you've been working for hours before a deadline，but you feel like you're getting nowhere.You're starting to feel really anxious.At this point，you might start to blame yourself for having this emotion.Now you have two emotions：feeling anxious about getting work done and feeling frustrated that you are anxious.When the second emotion gets layered on top of the first emotion，you often feel worse and are even less likely to reach your goals.You may now be wondering if it is possible to make the second emotion less likely.（1）       .
    Many people have heard of"mindfulness".It is often associated with doing a meditation（冥想） practice，but its essence is to be more aware and accepting of your present-moment experience.（2）       Acceptance can limit judgmental thoughts and unhelpful secondary emotions.
    Let me explain.Picture yourself in a challenging situation like the scenario described above and you feel anxiety arising.Instead of getting upset at yourself for having this emotion，you bring your awareness to the experience of the emotion and accept it.You might feel that this anxiety is not fun to experience.（3）        With this attitude of acceptance，and stepping away from the tendency to fight against the emotion，you are less likely to get stuck in a loop of judgmental thoughts that might trigger more unwanted emotions.
    （4）        But evidence suggests that it works.That is probably because accepting yourselves，including your emotions，relieves pressure.You stop adding fuel to the emotional fire when you release judgmental thoughts about your emotions.（5）        For instance，you could turn down the volume on the initial emotion，perhaps by seeing the situation from a new perspective or asking someone for support.

A.Thankfully，research suggests that the answer is yes.
B.You can't be productive even when you have more inner space.
C.Then you may question if you are feeling anxious about getting work done.
D.Yet you know you can breathe it through and that it is just a passing emotion.
E.Sometimes the experience includes an unpleasant emotion you don't want to feel.
F.It might sound unreasonable that embracing an unpleasant emotion can be a good thing.
G.You also create more inner space to determine whether you can do something that helps.

202207. （2022•长安区一中•五模） This is the greatest mystery of our adult life：How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted？How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day？What causes mental fatigue？
   "It is kind of a mystery，to be honest." said Michael Inzlicht，a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self-control，motivation，and fatigue.But scientists do have some clues.There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we're not physically active.We get so tired because our motivation runs out.As we work on a task，we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it.We become less motivated to do the task.We become drawn to the things we want to do（browsing social media or reading music blogs，for instance） rather than the things we have to do.
   Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model.This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 12-hour shifts.
   Throughout the shifts，the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals.They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in.When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue，they found some interesting patterns.Here's the result：There was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue.Instead，they found this small connection：The nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work，and the most rewarded for it.These feelings may have boosted their motivation，which may have boosted their perception of having energy.
   Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work.A few years ago，he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week. "What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue，not whether they had self-control." Inzlicht said. "Instead，the predictor was the number of temptations they felt." "If you're typing at work，and if you're anything like me，you got a few browsers open.These lead to temptations，" he said. "Temptations make us less motivated to do our work，which，in turn，may make us tired."
   And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this. "As an organism，we need to meet multiple goals to survive." Inzlicht explains. "We're not merely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life.We need to do all these things to be a healthy，thriving species." Because these multiple goals compete with one another（for our time），we need a mechanism sending signals. "Hey，stop doing that thing and do something else." That mechanism，he suggests，could be fatigue.In this light，boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued.

（1）Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph？
A．To introduce a common phenomenon.
B．To raise some questions that are appealing.
C．To lead to the theme and attract attention.
D．To show the author's concern of the problem.
（2）The underlined word "fatigue" in the passage could best be replaced by        .
A．excitement
B．tiredness
C．health
D．disability
（3）Which one is the hypothesis for why we are often feel exhausted after one-day work？
A．We are drawn to others things we have to do.
B．Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness.
C．Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tired.
D．Better self-control can boost one's motivation to work.
（4）Which of the following may Inzlicht agree with？
A．The person with strong self-control can get more reward from work.
B．The one who are less motivated will be exposed to more temptations.
C．While typing，we use little part of our muscle，which is more tiring.
D．Typing with some browsers open will sometimes makes us more tired.

213030. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期中）     One of the most curious features of the modern world is the manner in which design has been widely transformed into something meaningless.But I want to argue design should be the crucial block on which the human environment iaped and constructed for the betterment and delight of all.
    Not surprisingly，in the absence of widespread agreement about its significance and value，much confusion surrounds design practice.In some subject areas，authors can assume common ground with readers.Other subject areas can be so difficult that no such mutual understanding exists.
    Design sits uncomfortably between these two extremes.As a word it is common enough，but it is full of disharmony，has innumerable manifestations （表现），and lacks boundaries that give clarity and definition.As a practice，design generates vast quantities of material，much of it ephemeral，only a small proportion of which has sustained quality.
    So how can design be understood in a meaningful sense？Design is one of the basic characteristics of what it is to be human，and an essential determinant of the quality of human life.If things are a necessary part of our existence，why are they often done so badly？There is no simple answer.Cost factors are sometimes advanced，but the remove between doing something well or badly can be exceedingly small，and cost factors can in fact be reduced by appropriate design inputs.
    This book is based on a belief that design matters profoundly to us all in innumerable ways and represents an area of huge，underutilized potential in life.It sets out to explore some reasons why this is so and to suggest some possibilities of change.The intention is to extend the range of what is understood by the term，and examine the depth of design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity of cultures.

（1）What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？
A．The causes of confusion.
B．The significance of design.
C．The differences in subjects.
D．The common ground in people.
（2）What does the underlined word "ephemeral" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．Meaningful.
B．Enormous.
C．Short-lived.
D．Hard-wearing.
（3）What do we know about design？
A．Design is just about arts or trends.
B．Cost factors account for inadequate design.
C．The author argues that design is meaningless .
D．Very few are incapable of improvement by proper design.
（4）What is the book aimed at？
A．Reducing design inputs.
B．Persisting in meaningful design practices.
C．Denying previous conception of design.
D．Clarifying the confusion surrounding design.

205207. （2021•长安区一中•高一上期末） Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year.He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome---without ever leaving Japan.
   Inoue and his wife "flew" to Italy on First Airlines，a company known for entertainment，not transportation.The Tokyo-based new company entered the fast growing online tourism early this year as many countries have stopped accepting foreign tourists.
