212801. （2025•二十六中•高二下期中）     A new study，led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University （ARU），found the benefits of letter-spacing and coloured overlays （涂层） among a group of dyslexic （诵读困难的） and non-dyslexic children.It discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups of children.On average，the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed，while the comparison group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase in reading speed.
    The study involved 59 children aged between 11 and 15，32 of whom had dyslexia，with 27 non-dyslexic children forming a control group.The participants were from six UK schools in Cambridgeshire，Hertfordshire and London.
    Participants read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter-spacing，both with and without a coloured overlay.The children were instructed to read these texts out loud while being recorded.The recordings were used to measure the number of errors they made —specifically missed words，added words，wrong words，and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.
    In addition to improving reading speed of children with and without dyslexia，the larger letter-spacing also resulted in a significant reduction in the number of words being missed by the children with dyslexia.Dr Stagg said， "We believe that extra-large letter-spacing reduces what is known as the 'crowding effect'，which can prevent the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed."
    When viewed in the context of previous research，the findings strongly suggest that teaching professionalould be confident that all children will be helped by increased letter-spacing in reading materials.It's a relatively simple change for teachers to make when they produce handouts and exercises，and children with dyslexia won't feel singled out by the introduction of specially adapted reading materials，as this change is something that everyone can benefit from.
    The study showed colored overlays didn't affect reading speed or error reduction in children.Despite this，Dr.Stagg recommends using them，as they might improve reading stamina （耐力）.

（1）What does the new study focus on according to Paragraph 1？
A.The features of dyslexia.
B.The gap in children's reading ability.
C.Ways of examining children's comprehension.
D.Certain factors helping improve children's reading ability.
（2）What did the researchers do during the study？
A.They asked children to document the reading material.
B.They taught children some reading skills.
C.They studied the recordings of children's reading.
D.They observed children's performances in class.
（3）How are children with dyslexic affected by the "crowding effect"？
A.They may read materials faster than usual.
B.They may make more mistakes when reading.
C.They are forced to reflect on themselves more.
D.They are willing to spend more time reading.
（4）What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 5？
A.The significance of previous dyslexia children research.
B.The necessity of paying attention to children with dyslexia.
C.The suggestions and expectations from teaching professionals.
D.The practicability and benefits of specially adapted reading materials.

（1）细节理解题。根据第一段A new study，led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University （ARU），found the benefits of letter﹣spacing and coloured overlays（涂层） mong a group of dyslexic （诵读困难的） and non﹣dyslexic children.It discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups of children.On average，the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed，while the comparison group of non﹣dyslexic children showed a 5% increase in reading speed.（Anglia Ruskin University的Steven Stagg博士领导的一项新研究发现，在一组有阅读困难和非阅读困难的儿童中，字母间距和彩色重叠有好处。研究发现，字母间距增大的文本对两组儿童都有好处。平均而言，阅读障碍组的阅读速度提高了13%，而非阅读障碍儿童的对照组的阅读速率提高了5%。）可知，这项新研究的重点是帮助提高儿童阅读能力的一些因素。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段The recordings were used to measure the number of errors they made—specifically missed words，added words，wrong words，and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.（这些录音被用来测量他们犯的错误的数量﹣﹣特别是遗漏的单词、增加的单词、错误的单词和发音﹣﹣以及参与者的阅读时间。）可知，研究人员在研究过程中研究了儿童阅读的录音。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段We believe that extra﹣large letter﹣spacing reduces what is known as the 'crowding effect'，which can prevent the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.（我们认为，过大的字母间距减少了所谓的"拥挤效应"，这可能会阻碍字母的识别并降低阅读速度。）可推断拥挤效应会导致更多阅读错误。故选B。
（4）段落大意题。根据第五段It's a relatively simple change for teachers to make when they produce handout s and exercises，and children with dyslexia won't feel singled out by the introduction of specially adapted reading materials，as this change is something that everyone can benefit from.（对于老师来说，这是一个相对简单的改变，当他们制作讲义和练习时，有阅读障碍的孩子不会因为引入特别改编的阅读材料而感到被孤立，因为这种改变是每个人都能从中受益的。）可知，第五段主要讲的是专门改编的阅读材料的可行性与益处。故选D。

203842. （2024•周至六中•高一上期末）     As you probably know，learning a foreign language is sometimes challenging.But it can also be fun.Learning to speak a second language opens doors to new opportunities，helps you to communicate with others and makes travelling overseas more satisfactory.
    It might come as a surprise that the number of teenagers learning foreign languages in UK secondary schools has dropped by 45% since the turn of the millennium.Another survey of secondary schools suggests a third of students have dropped at least one language from their GCSE exam options.There are some reasons for this，including many students' opinion that languages are difficult.Others have questioned the need for a second language when translation technology is advancing.
    Matthew Fell，chief UK policy director for business group the CBI，believes that "The decline in language learning in schools must be reversed，or else the UK will be less competitive globally and young people less prepared for the modern world."
    Some native English speakers have admitted the benefits of speaking another tongue.Cassandra Scott，from Edinburgh，studied three languages in her final year at school.She is now a freelance translator in Edinburgh，and says "Learning languages at school really set the course for my career."

（1）How does the author show the fact that fewer people have learned foreign languages？
A.By offering background information.
B.By giving specific examples.
C.By analyzing underlying reasons.
D.By showing personal research.
（2）What does the underlined word "reversed" in paragraph 3 mean？
A.Developed rapidly.
B.Pushed quickly.
C.Changed completely.
D.Maintained properly.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A.A fulfilling overseas travel requires another foreign language.
B.Learning languages at school may contribute to one's future career.
C.Native English speakers benefit more from speaking another tongue.
D.With the translation technology，there's no need to learn foreign languages.
（4）What's the purpose of the passage？
A.To criticize people's ignorance of foreign languages.
B.To stress the significance of learning foreign languages.

204278. （2023•阎良区•高二下期末） Nobel prize winners，well-known authors，and famous scientists- you might think all these people were born to be creative.However，that's not always the case.
   While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers"- people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
   This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States. "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively（独有地） associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you' re talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
   According to the .study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual（概念的） and experimental thinkers.
   To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks.
   Some peaked from ages 25-29.Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
   The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s.These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time.This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions.
   "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg.He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative subjects.So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic.Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.

（1）What does the author indicate by mentioning Robert Frost in paragraph 2？
A．Some people stand out in their later life.
B．Robert Frost is a famous natural scientist.
C．It's better to be late bloomers in literature.
D．Creativity makes a difference to success.
（2）How did the researchers draw the conclusion：there are two types of creative people？
A．By referring to some data.
B．By doing some experiments.
C．By interviewing some creative people.
D．By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
（3）What can we learn about conceptual thinkers？
A．They owe their success to life experience.
B．They adopt common scientific approaches.
C．They follow a new pattern of thinking.
D．They learn from errors and experiments.
（4）What does Weinburg probably agree with？
A．Creative peaks never come for some.
B．The older，the less likely to succeed.
C．Most people prefer conceptual thinking.
D．Great creativity can arrive at different stages.

204556. （2023•鄠邑区•高一上期末）     You may not like it，but learning English is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed abroad.Not just that，you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency（精通） tests：the IELTS or the TOEFL.
   Which test you should take depends on your goal.The TOEFL remains the top exam in the U.S.But the IELTS is gaining ground in the U.S.and it has already been the preferred test in the U.K.and Australia.There are also differences in the test themselves.They both measure the four main language requirements：speaking，reading，writing and listening.However，the tests are very different in their forms and methodology. "Compared with the TOEFL，the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp of the language and ability to use it，rather than simply being well prepared for the test，" explained IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.
   The key reasons for this are that the IELTS test requires fill-in answers besides multiple choice（选择题），and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. "The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for real-life communication，which shows real academic（学业的） and workplace situations， " said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.
   What scores do I need？For the IELTS，a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs.For top schools，you will probably need at least a 7.When it comes to the TOEFL ，there is a range.It all depends on the colleges.Ordinary schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60.For a top-tier university，on the other hand，you will need to score upward of 100 points on your TOEFL.

（1）What does Paragraph 2 suggest？
A．The TOEFL score is preferred in Australian universities.
B．Universities in the U.K.mainly see students' IELTS scores.
C．The IELTS is more widely accepted than the TOEFL by US.School.
D．In the U.S.，the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was.
（2）Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS？
A．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests.
B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills.
C．The IELTS interviews test-takers on the computer.
D．The TOEFL checks four English skills，while the IELTS doesn't.
（3）What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview？
A．More examould take this exam form.
B．It is helpful in one's studies and at work.
C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed.
D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well.
（4）Which of the following is correct if you want to go to a top university in the U.K.or U.S.？
A．A 7 on the IELTS is probably a must.
B．A score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough.
C．You should take both the TOEFL and the IELTS.
D．You need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs.

203439. （2015•师大附中•一模） Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness（警觉）．paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．
   The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modern society．
   But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．
   When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it "gives us an advantage in daily life"，says Key．
   According to him，when it comes to cognitive （认知的） work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．
   However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted （分心） between noon and 4pm．
   Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2pm，making that a good time for a nap．
   Surprisingly，tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired，according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．
   When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．
   Of course，not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

（1）If we know our natural body rhythm well，we can．
A．organize our time around work demands
B．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
C．do whatever our body feels like doing
D．be sure to be healthy
（2）Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us        ．
A．when we get up in the morning
B．when we are full of energy in the late morning
C．when we are tired in the evening
D．when we are asleep at night
（3）The main purpose of the passage is to        ．
A．criticize
B．persuade
C．encourage
D．inform
（4）Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage？
A．Something About Natural Body Rhythm
B．Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad For Us．
C．What Is Natural Body Rhythm？
D．All The Research About Natural Body Rhythm

205880. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） A new study in December's Journal of Family Psychology says that working mothers report being healthier and happier than the stay-at-home mothers．The author，Dr．Cheryl Buehler，concludes that"A mother's economic role is central to family life，and it supports her well-being and her parenting．"What about the miserably conflicted working mother crying at her desk because her baby's first words were"au pair（家务女工）"？
Though Buehler's study relies on data from more than 1，300 mothers of young children across the U．S．-tracked over a 10-year period-the research is far from perfect．To begin with，it's pretty old，as it covers the decade beginning in 1991．So it's unfair to ask whether contemporary（当代的）working moms，whose companies have been downsized（减员的） and whose bosses may expect them to turn on their Black Berries for 24 hours，are quite as peaceful as their Clinton-time mothers．Even more importantly，the study focused on part-time working moms．
But what really makes this study unique is that the focus is on the mothers as well as the children．After decades of research on how working mothers affect their children，somebody's finally gotten around to investigate how it affects the moms．The study also takes a big step to the ongoing need for flexibility（灵活性） in the American workplace-and at home，because this is the power of balance．What's right for any family is what makes the members within it as happy and fulfilled as possible．
The idea that both work and parenting-especially in combination-can contribute to a woman's mental and physical health is good news．But we're complicated beings and the things that satisfy us are diverse（多元的）．They're our children and our careers．Nobody said it was easy．But maybe if you want to have it all，a good place to start is by doing it all．

（1）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph？
A．Working mother doesn't like her job．
B．Working mother is often not very happy．
C．Working mother hates the au pair very much．
D．Working mother loves to cry to relax herself．
（2）What do we know from the second paragraph？
A．Part time working mothers are happier than before．
B．The Clinton-time mothers are much busier than today's．
C．Today's moms have much better cellphones than before．
D．The contemporary working moms have much more pressure．
（3）In the third paragraph，the author        ．
A．emphasizes the flexibility in the American working time
B．believes it is not very important to do this kind for research
C．loves to see the research on how working mothers affect themselves
D．considers study on how working mothers affect their children necessary．

205754. （2018•西安一中•高一上期末） The most popular PE class at Waukegan High School in Illinois，US，takes place in a basement field house．
It is the school's version of CrossFit，the difficult physical exercise that has exploded in popularity over the last 16 years at thousands of gyms．It has more than one million devotees（爱好者） and a professional competition shown on ESPN．
Schools around the Chicago area have adopted CrossFit to interest students at a time of a rising weight problem among young people，and most say it really works compared with traditional gym classes．
"I think it's a great way to teach kids lifelong fitness，especially those kids who aren't interested in hockey（曲棍球），soccer or basketball，"said the teacher，Tracy Haraf from Illinois' Stony Creek Elementary，which devotes half of its PE days to CrossFit exercises． "They think it's tough，but I think they have a lot of fun doing it．"
Senior Alexus Wiltz，18，said the workout had improved her performance on the basketball court．"I noticed I was faster．I paid more attention on the court，my defending was better，"she said after a recent class．"It just really helped me．"
But some doctors and researchers advise caution，saying the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries，particularly when performed by few inexperienced people．
Doctor Craig Finlayson at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said he was worried that while strength training is fine for kids，heavy weights could be trouble for teenagers who might hurt themselves by trying to do too much or using poor form．
CrossFit Inc，the company that certifies（证明） trainers and licenses gyms，disagrees that its program is more dangerous than other fitness routines．Gym teachers in Waukegan's Greg Moisio，whose two-campus school has about 73%kids taking CrossFit each day，also say the risk of injury can be reduced with proper teaching and CrossFit's flexibility（灵活性）．

（1）Why have schools around the Chicago area adopted CrossFit？
A．To improve students' performance in competitive sports．
B．To introduce something more challenging to the students．
C．To help solve the students' weight problem．
D．To make traditional gym classes more attractive．
（2）How do the students react to the strength training？
A．The majority believe it's effective．
B．They show little interest in it．
C．73%agree it has a bad influence．
D．Most of them think it's of no use．
（3）What does the underlined word"workout"in Paragraph 5 refer to？
A．Wiltz's performance．
B．The basketball court．
C．The physical exercise．
D．A lot of fun．
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

202150. （2022•西安中学•八模） Plants：we eat them，juice them-and now it seems we can mine them too!
   After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo，the botany professor Alan
   Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining （harvesting minerals from plants） as a better，partial substitute for traditional mining.
   Phytomining，also known as agromining，means collecting metals from live plants.However，this can only be done with a group of plants known as "hyperaccumulators".There are around 700 identified types worldwide，and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they naturally attract and absorb minerals through their roots-metals poisonous to other plants- and then store huge，pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies.The metals can then be extracted（提取） from the plants' sap（汁；液），oil，or sometimes even live tissue.
   Baker and his colleagues see a lot of potential in phytomining.Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals，but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining.
   One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area.Phytomining can extract metal waste，plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations.Aside from this，if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining，then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines，which pollute the nearby waters.Also，since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure，there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore（矿石）.
   Phytomining has its drawbacks.Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today，compared to traditional mining.Besides，plants can be wiped out by diseases or unexpected weather conditions.
   However，there are many reasons to consider phytomining.After all，we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesn't mean sacrificing Mother Earth.

（1）What makes hyperaccumulators different from other plants？
A．The sap poisonous to other plants.
B．The oil extracted from live plant tissue.
C．The ability to take in and store minerals.
D．The concentrations of mineral in their bodies.
（2）What is the advantage of phytomining？
A．It uses clean energy to purify the ore.
B．It may reduce the deserted mines.
C．It can't be destroyed by diseases.
D．It can stop deforestation.
（3）What is the author's attitude toward phytomining？
A．Pessimistic.
B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic.
D．Skeptical.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Metals From Plants.
B．Benefits of Phytomining.
C．The Future of Phytomining.

205879. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） Today just as technology changed the face of industry，farms have experienced an"agricultural revolution"．On the farm of today，machines provide almost all the power．
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer．A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently．The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant，how much livestock（家畜） to buy，when to sell their products，and how much profit they can expect．Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers．Programs are being written for pig producers，grain farmers，potato farmers，and dairy farmers．In the future，farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs．Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm，students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses．There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future．While the old-time farm depended on horse power，and modern farms depend on machine power，farms of the future will depend on computer power．
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot，a real"mechanized（机械的） hired hand"that will be able to move and，in some ways，think like a human being．Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century．Unlike farmers of the present，farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them．Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear（修剪） sheep，drive tractors，and harvest fruit．Even complex jobs will be done by robots．For example，in order to milk their cows，farmers must first drive them into the barn，then connect them to the milking machines，watch the machines，and disconnect them when they are finished．In the future，this will all be done by robots．In addition，when the milking is completed，the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure．The complete change of the farm is far in the future，but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long．

（1）Why are students at agricultural colleges required to take computer classes？
A．Because computers help them keep more accurate records．
B．Because they need to develop special computer programs just for farmers．
C．Because computers will be more and more important on future farms．
D．Because computer classes are more important than normal agricultural courses．
（2）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A．Computers are now used by many farmers to help run their farms．
B．Computers can help farmers to make better decisions and predictions．
C．Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms．
D．Farms may be totally changed in the coming years．
（3）What's the author's attitude toward the agricultural revolution？
A．Positive

202120. （2022•西安中学•二模） On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab，Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai，India.While there，he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt. "I realized this was air pollution，or sooty（像煤一样）particulate matter（PM），made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles，" Sharma says. "This is a major health issue." Soot consists of tiny black particles，about 2.5 micrometers or smaller，made of carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.
   Back at MIT，Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue.After years of research，Sharma's startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators（柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink，called Air-Ink，for artists around the world.So far，the startup has collected 1.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1，000 artists，from Bangalore to Boston，Shanghai，and London.
   Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from the Air-Ink and paint，including street wall paintings，body art and clothing prints.At first，there was still no specific application for the ink.Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art. "Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from.Air pollution knows no borders.Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done，" Sharma says.

202100. （2022•西安中学•七模） Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
   Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
   Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint，go blue.
   Don't forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
   Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass.

（1）The text is especially helpful for those who care about        .
A．their home comforts
B．their body shape
C．house buying
D．healthy diets
（2）A home environment in blue can help people        .
A．Digest food better
B．Reduce body intake
C．Burn more calories
D．Regain their appetites
（3）What are people advised to do at mealtimes？

B．Play fast music.
C．Use smaller spoons.
D．Turn down the lights.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

205943. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） Visualization is closely related to positive thinking．It is used by athletes，musicians，actors，speakers，and others to improve their performance in stressful situations．How does it work？Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber：
Right before a big race，I'll picture myself running，and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind．Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in…behind someone，being pushed，different positions on the track，laps to go，and，of course the final part．And I always picture myself winning the race，no matter what happens during the event．
Of course，Huber doesn't win every race she runs，but research haown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance．It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright．
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech．Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak．See yourself at the lectern（放演讲稿的讲桌），self-assured，making eye contact（接触）with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm，clear voice．Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying．Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best．
As you create these images in your mind's eye，be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech．Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones．Acknowledge your nervousness，but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation．If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble，visualize yourself getting through it without any problems．And be specific．The clearer your mental pictures，the more successful you are likely to be．
As with your physical rehearsal（排练）of the speech，this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak．It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation．But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation．
（1）Huber's visualization of her races        ．
A．is detailed and thorough
B．is used during the event
C．is based on real pictures
D．is created with other runners
（2）According to the text，if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech，you should        ．
A．ignore the negative aspects
B．do the mental imaging later
C．imagine finishing it smoothly
D．create clearer mental pictures
（3）What do we learn about mental rehearsal？
A．It usually produces the desired results．
B．It may be a good way to calm you down．
C．It is more important than physical rehearsal．
D．It is a good chance to show your imagination．

205695. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） Summer heat can be dangerous，and heat leads to tragedy far too often．According to kidsandcars.org，an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US，when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle．
   For Bishop Curry，a fifth grader from McKinney，Texas，one such incident hit close to home．A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car．After hearing about her death，Curry decided that something needed to be done．Young Curry，who turned 11 this year，has always had a knack for inventing things，and he drew up a sketch（草图） of a device he called "Oasis．"
   The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car．If it reached a certain temperature in the car，and the device sensed a child in the car seat，it would begin to circulate cool air．Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology，which would alarm the child's parents and，if there was no response from them，the police．
   Curry's father believes that the invention has potential． "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new，" he said． "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster．" His father even introduced the device to Toyota，where he works as an engineer．The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan．
   In January，Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention．They hope to raise money to finalize the patent，build models，and find a manufacturer．Their goal was＄20，000，but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over＄46，000．
   Curry's father remembers the first time he saw his son's sketch． "I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution，" he said． "We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions．"

（1）What inspired Curry to invent Oasis？
A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car．
B．His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat．
C．The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car．
D．The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident．
（2）What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child？
A．It would inform the parents or even the police．
B．It would pump out the hot air in the car．
C．It would sound the alarm attached to the car．
D．It would get the window open to save the child．
（3）What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention？
A．It used some of the most advanced technology．
B．It simply combined technologies that existed．
C．It could accelerate production of new technology．
D．It is the most advanced among similar products．
（4）Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money？
A．To conduct experiments to test the invention．
B．To get other children devoted to inventions．
C．To support a charity of medical aid for children．
D．To get the patent and bring it to production．

202044. （2022•西安中学•四模） Electronic sensors built into paper could be used in a range of ways from information storage to touch screens and more.
   Electronic sensors built into cartons（纸盒）may make it easier to tell when it's time to throw out rotten milk or orange juice.And that's just the start.At least that's the goal for researchers working on putting electronics into paper.They're trying to figure out how to combine the flexibility，low-cost and recyclability of paper with the information-carrying ability of electronics.
   Daniel Torbjork，a physics graduate student in Finland，has been working on the problem.He's published a review of the field in the journal Advanced Materials.
   Much research has been focused in this area.While most electronic applications require patterned conducting structures，conductive paper could be used in applications such as energy storage devices，sensors，electric heaters and others，according to Torbjork.
   "You could even have some interactive functions in magazines，" Torbjork said，"You could put a simple game in a package.If you want a touch screen，press a button and then something happen.Sensors in paper could tell us when something has gone bad."
   Additional applications，such as information storage and security paper，have been suggested for magnetic papers containing magnetite.In Massachusetts，researchers have figured out how to post a video of such adevice put into a paper airplane.
   German researchers have also put electronic chips in paper bank notes to defend counterfeiters （造伪币者）.Paper is a good material but printing electronics also requires low-cost manufacturing.As many US and European paper makers lose market share to cheaper paper from China，these big paper companies are looking for added value products.That's where electronic paper devices could make a difference.
   "The major obstacles are paper's large surface roughness and chemical impurities. "Torbjork says.But others in the field think that electronic sensors in paper are still far from the consumer marketplace.
   "I don't think it's going to happen." said Roy Horgan. "You need a conductive surface.It could be 10 years out.What we are looking for are solutions that you can commercialize today. "
   Solar Print is partnering with Italian automaker Fiat to develop a unique auto-glass with tiny photostatic cells（光电） that can capture electricity from the sun.In the meantime，using paper to conduct electricity is still a "blue-sky" project.
   "I would love to see someone prove me wrong，because that means that it's actually happening. " Horgan said. "If someone comes up with conductive paper，then that's a very interesting technology."

（1）Putting electronics into paper will        .
A．cut the cost and impurity of paper
B．depend on flexible conductive structure
C．help consume rotten milk or orange juice
D．combine the advantages of paper and electronics
（2）Paragraphs 4 to 7 mainly talk about the         of the conductive paper.
A．practical use
B．theories
C．structures
D．design process
（3）Some paper makers welcome the new technology probably because it will        .
A．put an end to fake money
B．make the paper smoother
C．add more value to paper
D．improve the printing technology
（4）From the passage，we know that Roy Horgan        .
A．has a burning desire to make a great profit
B．showed much interest in Solar Print industry
C．is not confident about the conductive paper
D．started a "blue-sky" project to study paper

205980. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too-but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．
It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．
In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．
Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"
Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．
（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 2？
A．rose-shaped glasses
B．positive perspectives
C．negative sides
D．flower-like tools
（2）What did Kirsty find most difficult to do during her first days in college？
A．Not knowing how to make new friends．
B．Not realizing the importance of making friends．
C．Looking after herself at quite an early age．
D．Trying to achieve academic success．
（3）Which of the following tips are helpful or important EXCEPT         according to Dr．Ruth Caleb？
A．having the ability to cook
B．being able to do the cleaning
C．learning how to spend money on one's own
D．balancing social success and academic success
D．Acquiring some life skills isn't that important to new students．
（4）What does the author probably mean by saying"I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way"？
A．He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus．
B．He graduated from college with many achievements．
C．It might have taken him some time to get used to college life．
D．It might have made him proud by leading an independent life at college．
