使增至三倍

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

212875. （2024•西安一中•高三下期中）     In the past week almost 120 global leaders have resolved to triple （使增至三倍） the world's renewable energy capacity before 2030 in an attempt to reduce the global consumption of fossil fuels.As the second half of the Cop28 UN climate conference in Dubai unfolds ，more countries may join the calls for a global target of 11 TW （太瓦） of renewable power by the end of the decade，three times higher than the 3.629 TW in place at the end of 2022.
    Renewable energy really could be tripled in this decade，but it won't be a breeze，according to the International Energy Agency （IEA）.
    Based on the rate of growth for wind and solar power，the world is on track to meet this target.But the global energy watchdog（监察人） has warned that "stronger policy actions by governments" will be required to overcome challenges，such as rising costs，uncertain supply chains and grid（电力网） bottlenecks，which are considered essential to hit the goal of limiting global heating to within 1.5 C of preindustrialised levels.
    Renewable energy sources tripled，the global demand for coal power would be cut in half by 2030，according to estimates. "This is crucial for 1.5 C，"said Dave Jones，the global insights lead for climate think-tank Ember. "The tripling goal would take renewables to the next level，with solar and wind reaching 40% of global electricity generation by 2030."
    The goal has won the support of 118 countries.In practice，not every country will triple its renewable capacity to meet the global target.Some countries starting from a lower level would need to more than triple their wind and solar power，while for others with a high share of renewables already，it would not be practical to triple their capacity again.
    The prospect of having demand for coal is a goal worth struggling for，but governments must stay the course.Increasing capacity may have been simple in recent years with low interest rates and government support schemes，but the sector's progress for the rest of the decade is less certain.

（1）What does the underlined word "breeze" mean in paragraph 2？
A．A demanding mission.
B．An effortless task.
C．A dreamy vision.
D．A fruitless effort.
（2）What can be inferred from paragraph 3？
A．The road to the top is full of twists and turns.
B．A good beginning is half done.
C．No pains，no gains.
D．Rise from the fall，and you'll rise high.
（3）What is Dave Jones' attitude toward tripling the world's renewable energy capacity before 2030？
A．Indifferent.
B．Neutral.
C．Cautious.
D．Optimistic.
（4）What might be written about after the last paragraph？
A．Drawbacks of power generation using coal.
B．Ways to triple the output of sustainable energy.
C．Specific difficulties in the future and solutions.
D．Joint achievements made by nearly 200 countries.

（1）词意推测题。根据第二段Renewable energy really could be tripled in this decade，but it won't be a breeze ，according to the International Energy Agency （IEA）.（根据国际能源署（IEA）的说法，可再生能源确实可能在十年内增加两倍，但这不会是一件轻而易举的事情。）可知breeze的意思是"毫不费力的任务"。A．A demanding mission高难度的任务；B．An effortless task毫不费力的任务；C．A dreamy vision梦幻般的景象；D．A fruitless effort徒劳的努力。故选B。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段Based on the rate of growth for wind and solar power，the world is on track to meet this target.But the global energy watchdog（监察人） has warned that "stronger policy actions by governments" will be required to overcome challenges，such as rising costs，uncertain supply chains and grid（电力网） bottlenecks，which are considered essential to hit the goal of limiting global heating to within 1.5 C of preindustrialised levels.（根据风能和太阳能的增长速度，世界有望实现这一目标。但全球能源监管机构警告称，将需要"各国政府采取更强有力的政策行动"来克服成本上升、供应链不确定和电网瓶颈等挑战。这些挑战被认为对于实现将全球升温限制在工业化前水平1.5摄氏度以内的目标至关重要。）可知通往顶峰的道路充满曲折，故选A。
（3）观点态度题。根据第四段Renewable energy sources tripled，the global demand for coal power would be cut in half by 2030，according to estimates. "This is crucial for 1.5 C，"said Dave Jones，the global insights lead for climate think﹣tank Ember. "The tripling goal would take renewables to the next level，with solar and wind reaching 40% of global electricity generation by 2030."（据估计，到2030年，可再生能源将增加两倍，全球煤电需求将减少一半。"这对于1.5摄氏度至关重要，"气候智库烬全球观察负责人达夫•琼斯说。"翻三番的目标将使可再生能源更上一层楼，到2030年，太阳能和风能将达到全球发电量的40%。"）可知达夫•琼斯对于在2030年前将世界可再生能源产能增加两倍的态度是乐观的。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。由文章最后一段Increasing capacity may have been simple in recent years with low interest rates and government support schemes，but the sectors progress for the rest of the decade is less certain.（近年来，随着低利率和政府支持计划的实施，提高产能可能很简单，但该行业在未来十年的进展不太确定。）可知接下来文章将重点阐述在实现该目标之后将会遇到的各种困难以及解决办法。故选C。

205154. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists and the media.However，it never received the official recognition--until now.On June 8，2021，the National Geographic Society announced that from now on，there would be five oceans：the Atlantic，Pacific，Indian，Arctic，and the Southern Ocean.The Southern Ocean was not just an extension of the Pacific，Atlantic，and Indian Oceans.It had the unique characteristics required to deserve its own name.
   Unlike the other oceans，whose boundaries （边界） are defined by the surrounding continents，the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar （ACC）—the Earth's longest and strongest ocean current.The ACC was established 34 million years ago when Antarctic broke off from South America，enabling the water to freely flow around Earth's southernmost tip.Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the south and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species.The ACC also significantly impacts Earth's climate.
   Alex Tait，a National Geographic Society geographer，says the recognition affects the Society's desire to draw public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean's unique ecosystem. "We've always labeled it，but labeled it slightly different from other oceans，" Tait explains."This change is taking the last step and saying we want to recognize it because of its ecological separation，"
   Tait believes the official recognition of the Southern Ocean will influence how children see the
world."I think one of the biggest impacts is through education，" he says."Students get information about the ocean world through what ocean they're studying.If they don't include the Southern Ocean，they can't Tearq the specifics of it and how important it is."

（1）How did the Southern Ocean get its official recognition？
A．By being recorded in books.
B．By being given new official name.
C．By being regarded as one of the five oceans.
D．By being admitted by the international media
（2）What does Alex Tait think of the Southern Ocean getting its new identity？
A．It will cause great changes in the global ecosytemn.
B．It will greatly impact Earth's climate.
C．It will help protect the species in Antaptica.
D．It will make the ocean better known.
（3）What is the best title of the passage？
A．People now truly care about the oceans.
B．Earth now officially has five oceans.
C．The features of the Southern Ocean.
D．The impact of the Southern Ocean.

204261. （2023•长安区•高一上期末）     Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild，a new research suggests.
    Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of "appeal" （吸引力） in animals.He wanted to know：What species do people consider appealing？And what are the influences of being appealing on populations of animals in the wild？
    In a research published this month，Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 appealing species.They deemed large mammals living on land are appealing.Coming in first place are tigers，followed by lions，elephants，giraffes，panthers，pandas，cheetahs，polar bears，wolves，and gorillas.However，at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened.It is strange that we do not protect the species we care about the most.
    The study also finds that we are flooded with images of these creatures，even as they are becoming fewer in the wild.The study suggests that too much imagination might be creating a "virtual population" of the animals in people's minds，making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
    The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these imageould set as idea small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. "That would be not only something fair，but something that could bring a win-win situation for them，" Courchamp says.It could bring them positive public relation，for example.Besides，if a company's mascot （吉祥物） goes extinct，that could hurt them from a marketing point，Courchamp says.But not enough companies are "truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on，" he adds.

（1）The widespread descriptions of animals may         according to Paragraph 1.
A．make people aware of the necessity of wild protection
B．lead people to protect animals
C．be beneficial for both animals and humans
D．reduce the animals' survival chances
（2）What does the underlined word "deemed" mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Rescued.
B．Established.
C．Thought.
D．Disappeared.
（3）What can we know about panthers and cheetahs from the passage？
A．They are among the best liked.
B．They have a large population in the wild.
C．They have died out.
D．They are well protected.
（4）How does Courchamp list the companies' responsibilities and their advantages？
A．By doing experiments.
B．By giving examples.
C．By asking a question.
D．By listing data.

212666. （2025•临潼区•高二下期中）     In the depths of Abernethy Forest，researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator（捕食者）.It may sound weird，but it's all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie（松鸡） chick and it's quite normal.Capercaillies are large，secretive birds known for their striking fan tails.However，in Scotland，their population is critically low，with only about 500 left during 2021-2022.
    Bamber's method，known as diversionary feeding，involves leaving meat near capercaillie habitats during the breeding（繁殖） season.The goal is to provide predators like pine martens and badgers—both protected species—with an easier meal，reducing the chances of them attacking capercaillie nests.This approach helps protect capercaillies without harming predators.
    Initial trials have been promising，showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided.However，this is just one of many strategies needed to save the species.Other efforts include educating the public to avoid disturbing the birds，particularly in places like the Cairngorms National Park，where dogs and hikers can unintentionally stress the birds or disturb their habitats.
    Carolyn Robertson，manager of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project，works to minimize human disturbances.He said， "Dogs，even on leads，can cause capercallies to feel threatened.Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control.Additionally，initiatives like the 'Lek it be' campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season."
    The species faces multiple threats，including habitat loss，conflicts with deer fences，and the impact of climate change，which affect food availability and chick survival.Despite the challenges，efforts continue with hope that the species can recover.These conservation（保护） actions not only aim to save the capercallie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole.

（1）What does the underlined word "weird" in paragraph 1 mean？
A.Strange.
B.Pleasant.
C.Disappointing.
D.Costly.
（2）What is the effect of initial trials to protect capercallies？
A.It is unclear.
B.It is ill-advised.
C.It is effective.
D.It iort-lived.
（3）What can we infer about these conservation actions from Robertson's words？
A.They rely on researchers' work.
B.They bring about additional costs.
C.They involve multi-party efforts.
D.They discourage local dog owners.
（4）What does the author intend to explain in the last paragraph？
A.The hardships the locals suffered.
B.The problems researchers faced.
C.The background of the new policy.
D.The significance of these conservation actions.

204460. （2023•莲湖区•高一下期末）     Just like a smartwatch can tell its wearers how many calories they need during exercise，data from dolphin wearables can now be used to estimate how much energy dolphins use when they swim.
    University of Michigan engineers，together with scientists at Dolphin Quest Oahu，have led the development of wearable sensors（传感器） for marine animals to monitor movement and behavior in order to improve marine preservation efforts for these animals.
    Dolphins and other sea creatures are affected by human disturbances（干扰） in their habitat，including climate change，overfishing，noise pollution from shipping，construction，oil exploration and other activities.These types of disturbances can interrupt important animal behavior like hunting for fish and socializing，but measuring the disturbance is difficult be-cause the animals live under water.
    Devices very similar to fitness trackers used by humans，known as biologging tags，are used in biology research，but estimating the energetic cos t of swimming has been challenging.Now，with the biologging tags made together with an instrument company，Michigan engineers are able to measure animal movement during thousands of strokes（划） as they swim.
    According to Alex Shorter，U-M assistant professor of mechanical engineering，their goal is to use tag data to estimate how many fish are eaten by dolphins during a day，and connect that to estimates of how much energy dolphins use during the movement required to catch those fish.That is important for preservation because they can then use their approach to estimate energetic costs when these animals are disturbed.
    In their new work，the researchers were able to develop estimates of energetic cost from tag data by working with their human and animal collaborators at Dolphin Quest Oahu.In this.unique environment，the researchers were able to conduct repeatable swimming trials over a range of speeds from multiple animals to generate the data needed to estimate how much energy the animals were using as they swam.Marine animal specialists trained the dolphins to wear the tracker during lap trials and periods of free swimming.

（1）What is the final goal of developing wearable sensors for marine animals？
A．To record the number of them.
B．To promote the protection for them.
C．To keep track of the lifestyle of them.
D．To monitor their movement and behavior.
（2）Why is it hard to measure the disturbance of dolphins？
A．Because of their habitat.
B．Because of their strange behaviors.
C．Because of too many kinds of disturbances.
D．Because of too simple measuring equipment.
（3）What is tag data used to do？
A．Learn about the way dolphins hunt.
B．Know the number of species of dolphins.
C．Make sure what kind of fish dolphins eat.
D．Figure out dolphin's probable amount of energetic costs.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．A New Device Made by Alex Shorter
B．A Smartwatch Designed for Marine Scientists
C．New Activity Trackers for Dolphin Conservation
D．A University Working with an Instrument Company

204440. （2023•临潼区•高一下期末）     Any 25th birthday is a cause for celebration.But it was even more so for Janus，a two-headed Greek tortoise（龟）.Living in the Natural History Museum of Geneva，Switzerland，Janus is now believed to be the world's oldest two-headed tortoise.The museum celebrated the special occasion with a day-long party filled with fun events，which included taking photos with the birthday"boy".
    In the wild，Greek tortoises can live up to two hundred years in their natural habitat.However，two-headed tortoises，like Janus，usually do not survive for that long.Unlike nor-mal tortoises，they are unable to take back their two heads into their shell，making them high-ly easy to be attacked.
    Janus，who has spent his entire life in the museum，faces no such danger.But life is not without challenges for the two-headed tortoise who also has two hearts and two pair s of lungs.Each head controls the front and back legs on its side of the body.The right head is more curious and more awake.The left head is more passive and loves to eat.This can lead to confusion when the two heads decide to go in different directions.To make matters worse，the two heads frequently rub against each other，resulting in skin sores（溃疡）.Janus also has a hard time rolling back onto his feet when he accidentally turns over.If left on their backs for too long，tortoises can get sunburned，dehydrated （脱水的） and even die.
    Fortunately，Janus has a special caregiver，Angelica Bourgoin，to make sure he lives along and healthy life.The tortoise receives a daily massage and is bathed in green tea and flower water.He eats a special diet of organic fruits and vegetables，keeps active with walks，and rides on his custom skateboard.With such loving care，the two-headed tortoise will surely continue to break many more records for long life.

（1）Why is it hard for two-headed tortoises to survive in the wild？
A．They can't avoid biting each other.
B．They can't find enough food to eat.
C．They can't hide from their enemies.
D．They can't run as fast as normal ones.
（2）Where was Janus born？
A．In the museum.
B．In a pet store.
C．In the ocean.
D．In Bourgoin's home.
（3）What will be Janus's biggest threat if he's left alone on its back？
A．Different decisions.
B．Two halves of body.
C．The pain on his skin.
D．The death of thirst.
（4）Which of the following can best describe Janus's life？

201883. （2024•周至县•一模）     The fishermen of Senegal have joined forces to protect one of the ocean's most endangered species—the sea turtle，a classic case of "poacher turned gamekeeper".
    The coastal waters of Senegal in West Africa are home to several species of sea turtles which are all beautiful creatures but are affected by pollution，poaching and even fishing nets.
    "Once we were the biggest eaters of turtles，now we have become their biggest protectors，" said Abdou Karim Sall，a fisherman who led the Management Committee for the Marine Protected Are （MPA）of Joal-Fadiouth.
    The Joal-Fadiouth MPA，covering about 174 square kilometers，was founded in 2004，and it's upheld by the government，local authorities and several associations.It is an area aimed at protecting mar in e ecosystem，habitats and species，including endangered species like the sea turtle.Its benefits are obvious：maintaining biodiversity，increasing fish catches on fishing grounds，as well as economic development.
    For a long time，Sall has been working to raise local awareness of sea turtle protection. "Even former turtle sellers have been 'changed' by receiving three small boats to take tourists to sea，" he said.Instead of strict restrictions，the Joal-Fadiouth MPA has been trying to educate local communities about the economic benefits so that they would join the project. "It's after they are told： 'It's an endangered species'，" Sall said.
    Local residents have also set out to protect the nests.During summer and fall，a few dozen turtles may stop to lay eggs on the beaches of Joal-Fadiouth.MPA agents and village volunteers pro test their nests with fences. "People come at 6 a.m.so that other animals do not take the young." said Sall.
    Sall added the number of turtles had decreased by about 30% in the past 20 years，and chances of survival of a young turtle were no higher than one in a thousand.But the fisherman-conservator agreed， "Awareness has not worked 100%."

（1）What does the underlined word "upheld" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Hurt.
B.Ignored.
C.Supported.
D.Paused.
（2）Which of the following is the measure taken by the Joal-Fadiouth MPA to protect sea turtles？
A.Building more nests for turtles to lay eggs.
B.Placing strict restrictions to educate the communities.
C.Providing different means of transportation for turtle sellers.
D.Publicizing the economic benefits of the project.
（3）What will most probably be talked about in the following paragraph？
A.The mistakes the MPA has made.
B.The danger sea turtles still face from fishermen.
C.The argument about the Marine Protected Area.
D.The benefits brought by the Marine Protected Area.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A.Fishermen of Senegal have joined together to protect sea turtles.
B.Sea turtles in Senegal are endangered because of human activities.
C.The situation of sea turtles in Senegal has been improves significantly.
D.The Marine Protected Area has played an important role in protecting fishes.

202368. （2021•西安中学•四模） Sure，chocolate is a delicious treat，and it's a staple of some of our favorite desserts.But it's not a health food，so it should be enjoyed in moderation-right？
   Well，it turns out that eating chocolate might actually have a pretty significant health benefit.According to research conducted by five scientists in Italy，compounds found in chocolate，called flavanols，can help boost cognitive （认知的） performance.Yup，chocolate's good for your brain.
   The scientists，studying at the Universities of Rome and L'Aquila，summarized research from ten different studies.The studies assessed people's performance on cognitive tests before and after eating cocoa or chocolate.The results were pretty telling：in nine out of the ten studies，there was a noticeable improvement after the subjects had eaten the chocolate.The scientists found improvements in "general cognition，attention，processing speed and working memory." Sounds pretty good to us!
   And that's not all.In subjects，especially women，who performed the tests while sleep-deprived，the flavanols helped relieve the negative effects of the sleep deprivation.And there's even more good news.The researchers also found that eating chocolate daily （over periods ranging from five days to three months） produced noticeable long-term improvements in cognition.Older adults，whose memories were already declining，saw an especially significant improvement.
   All chocolate has flavanols，since they occur naturally in cocoa.However，dark chocolate lovers feel happy，because it has more flavanols than any other type of chocolate.In fact，the scientists themselves have claimed that，after doing this research，they've started eating dark chocolate every day!
   Now，we're not saying you should start eating chocolate for breakfast，lunch and dinner - it's still high in sugar and low in nutrients.But next time you find yourself yawning after a sleepless night，snack on some chocolate and let the flavanols work their magic.

（1）What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．As much as possible.
B．For three meals.
C．In right amount.
D．Not in the least
（2）How does a student perform while learning after eating chocolate？
A．He memorizes less than before.
B．He can't concentrate on lessons in the slightest.
C．He becomes more excited.
D．He understands what the teacher says faster.
（3）According to the passage，if your memory fails，what should you do？
A．Eat chocolate as three meals.
B．Use chocolate as a daily snack.
C．Hunt for dark chocolate.
D．Ask a doctor for advice.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Chocolate is a beneficial but unhealthy food.
B．Eating chocolate benefits our learning.
C．Eating chocolate works on your sleep.
D．Chocolate contains low nutrients.

205293. （2021•阎良区•高二下期末） There you are in your favorite clothing store.You don't really need to buy anything，but everything is so cheap and stylish!Before you know it，you leave the store with bags and bags of new clothes.
   On the surface，this doesn't seem so bad.However，there are a lot of hidden costs behind the cheap price tags（标牌）.To put it plainly，the fashion industry is terrible for the planet.Not only does it use up a lot of resources，but it also heavily pollutes the environment with chemicals，microplastics and unwanted waste.
   Fashion is one of the least sustainable industries on the planet，commented Michael Stanley-Jones."We've all become our own waste managers，hoarding fashion waste in our houses，" he noted.
   It doesn't just take up space in our cupboards，though.It also ends up in landfills（垃圾场），too.But，thankfully，the fashion trend tides are changing.People are increasingly examining their own consumption and what changes they can make to become sustainable，Jane Fellner，founder and CEO of sustainable fashion seller Loopsler，told the Guardian.
   In particular，with its typically lower prices and rare fashion finds，shopping secondhand has become an increasingly popular and eco-friendly option.According to online reseller ThredUp，the secondhand market is predicted to reach ＄ 80 billion by 2029.And，although fast fashion will continue to grow 20 percent over the next 10 years，secondhand fashion is expected to grow an unbelievable 185 percent in that same amount of time.Fellner continued： " Secondhand has become more socially acceptable.Thrifting （节约）is now massive on TikTok."
    The only true sustainable way to shop is to not shop at all，unless you're buying clothes that already exist.

（1）What does the fashion industry bring about？

205137. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） A scientist locked himself in a small air-tight plastic tent with 200 plants to see if they could change CO₂ into oxygen （氧气） fast enough to keep him alive.
   Kurtis Baute locked himself in a 3 m by 3 m tent in his brother's backyard in British Columbia，Canada.He hoped to find out if by surrounding himself with plants，the CO₂ he breathed out could be changed into oxygen to allow him to survive in the locked tent for at least three days.
   Unfortunately，he had to give up the experiment after only 15 hours，as CO₂ levels reached a dangerous point where he risked suffering brain damage. "I could probably survive in the tent for three days，" Baute wrote on his website. "But my goal is not to just 'not die'.My goal is to end this project without developing brain damage or just generally causing lasting harm to my body.But as it turns out，that's exactly what he risked as the 200 plants he took with him into the tent couldn't meet his needs.Clearly，a cloudy sky prevented them from receiving all the sunlight they needed to perform photosynthesis （光合作用），so they couldn't recycle CO₂ fast enough.
   "Plants are great at taking in CO₂ and they love it.Since it wasn't a bright and sunny day，they weren't getting the light they needed，which meant CO₂ just kept rising.I had to give up the experiment as that continued." the young experimenter said.15 hours into the experiment，Baute reached the set danger point and then ended this experiment.Still，he called the experiment a "huge success" as his main goal was actually the terrible effects of climate change and CO₂ emissions.
   "The conclusion about my experiment is that if CO₂ is too high，I'll escape，which is just everyday experiences for many people on this planet.Everyone deserves clean air，but not everyone has it，" he wrote.

202785. （2020•西安中学•八模） Here are some tips from experts for writing that all-important application essay，which can often mean the difference between getting accepted - or rejected - by the school of your choice．
   The essay is your loudspeaker - your view of the world and your ambitions．It's not just a resume or a regurgitation of everything you've done．It needs to tell a story with passion，using personal，entertaining anecdotes that showcase your character，your interests，your values，your life experiences，your views of the world，your ambitions and even your sense of humor．
   Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you've helped people or made your community a better place．It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study．For example，Christopher Rim of Command Education Group，which coaches students，remembers that one student who wanted to become a dentist，set up a nonprofit and held fund-raisers to distribute toothbrushes，toothpaste and other dental products to homeleselters．Admissions staff members want to know how your presence will make the college a better place．
   Mention internships，summer courses，extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you've taken to learn and understand your field of interest．That will help show you know the field you've chosen to study and are passionate about it．
   Explain with knowledge and passion why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others．Tell why the school's size，curriculum，social atmosphere，location，professors or history influenced your choice．
   Correct spelling，grammar and punctuation are critical．Use grammar，syntax and writing with a level of sophistication that shows you're ready for college．Never use text-style abbreviations or rude or profane language．After the essay is submitted，check your email and voice mail daily to make sure you see and respond promptly to messages from admissions staff members．Many students check only texts and sometimes miss emails asking follow-up questions or requesting an interview．
   Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way： "Every college is like a dinner table．What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation？What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience？" A good essay，rich with anecdotes and personality，will answer those questions and stand out from the pile．

（1）What should be covered in an application essay？
A．Your community，summer courses，and extracurricular activities．
B．Your passion，sense of humor and your resume．
C．Your college，views of the world，and interest．
D．Your volunteer work，internships，and lab work．
（2）What does the underlined word "anecdotes" mean？

205668. （2018•西安中学•高一上期末） After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations - major food sources （来源） for the wolf - grew rapidly．These animals consumed （消耗） large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity （多样性） in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．

（1）What is the text mainly about？
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Tested．
B．Separated．
C．Forced out．
D．Tracked down．
（3）What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves？
A．Damage to local ecology．
B．A drop in the park's income．
C．Protection of vegetation．
D．An increase in the diversity of animals．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Unfavorable．
D．Uncaring．

204961. （2022•阎良区•高二上期末） What makes a human being？Is it our thoughts？Our emotions？Our behavior？All of these things make us who we are，but at the center of the matter is the genome（基因组）-the genes inside our bodies that may determine everything from our hair colour to our intelligence.But if we could change our genome，what would it mean to us？
   In an online video posted on Nov 26，He Jiankui，a biological researcher from Southern University of Science and Technology in China，said that he had helped to make the world's first genetically edited babies.
   These are twin girls，born in November，with genes edited in an attempt to help them fight against possible future infection with the AIDS virus.
   He said that he chose to do this because HIV infections are a big problem in China. "I feel such a strong responsibility that it's not just to make a first，but also to set an example，" he told the Associated Press（AP）.
   The announcement has caused an international storm.Some believe that success will benefit the families of HIV patients.Considering that HIV is "a major and growing public health threat，" attempted gene editing for HIV is justifiable，Harvard Medical School genetics professor George Church told AP.
   However，others think that gene editing technology is still unsafe to attempt.
   "Gene editing itself is experimental and is still associated with unexpected mutations（突变），causing genetic problems early and later in life，including the development of cancer，" Julian Savuleseu，a specialist in ethics at the University of Oxford，told BBC News.
   Others fear that this could open the door to using gene editing technology to make designer babies.It might give the parents the choices to choose everything from their baby's eye color to intelligence.
   "You could find wealthy parents buying the latest upgrades for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，" Marcy Darnovsky，director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News.

（1）Why did He Jiankui make the genetically edited babies？
A．Because he wanted to be a leader in gene editing technology.
B．Because he tried to do his part in fighting against HIV infection.
C．Because he attempted to help the twin girls who were infected with AIDS.
D．Because he wanted to become the first to make the genetically edited babies in the world.
（2）What does the underlined word "justifiable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean？
A．Absurd.
B．Hopeless.
C．Skilful.
D．Acceptable.
（3）For those who are against gene editing technology，their reasons are as follows EXCEPT        .
A．Gene editing can determine everything inside a person's body
B．Gene editing may widen the gap between the rich and the poor
C．Gene editing may enable wealthy parents to design their babies
D．Gene editing can cause genetic problems sooner or later in life
（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？
A．Gene Editing：The Genie in the Bottle.
B．Gene Editing：The Way We Should Go.
C．Gene Editing：Hope or Fear for Human Beings.
D．Gene Editing：A Great Success in Human History.
