（1）主旨大意题。根据文章第二段If a movie star engages in acts that the society does not approve，those who look up to them，especially the teens，will do the same.Movie stars should be responsible for what they do and say as following the actions is now simpler because of social media.It is important to behave like a role model even when they think no one is watching. （如果一个电影明星从事社会不认可的行为，那些仰慕他们的人，尤其是青少年，也会这样做。电影明星应该对自己的言行负责，因为社交媒体现在更简单了。即使他们认为没有人在看，也要表现得像一个榜样，这一点很重要。）可知，本段主要讲述了电影明星的行为对他们的粉丝有很大的影响，故选D项。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段中They may not have been good role models at the time，but they can change the narrative by doing the right things.They can also turn the past shortcomings into positives by opening up about problems and how they overcame the challenges. （他们当时可能不是好的榜样，但他们可以通过做正确的事情来改变。他们还可以通过敞开心扉谈论问题以及他们如何克服挑战，将过去的缺点转化为积极的一面。）可知，电影明星可以通过做正确的事来克服问题、战胜困难，故选B项。
（3）细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中It would be wrong to promote something like sweetened drinks or foods without health benefits. （推广甜味饮料或对健康没有好处的食物是错误的。）可知，作者建议电影明星们不要去推销此类产品。故选D项。
（4）目的意图题。通读全文，结合文章第一段中The power gives them an ability to change people，events，even history，making them to have the responsibility of being good role models. （这种力量赋予他们改变人、事件甚至历史的能力，使他们有责任成为好榜样。）及最后一段中Movie stars face problems like other people，but because of their influence，they have a responsibility to be role models in the public eye. （电影明星像其他人一样面临问题，但由于他们的影响力，他们有责任成为公众眼中的榜样。）可知，作者通过本文想要呼吁电影明星为公众树立良好的榜样，这是他们的责任，故选C项。

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

204810. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Calming.
B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

203033. （2017•铁一中学•一模） ONE day I saw a TV advertisement．A couple - she in a black dress，he in a super-stylish shirt and tie - was enjoying a candlelit （烛光的） meal accompanied by romantic music．The location？Pizza Hut．I nearly choked on my tea．
   "What？!" I laughed to my Chinese friend． "Pizza Hut is trying to be all gourmet（美食的）and fashionable？!" My friend looked confused． "But Pizza Hut is fashionable，" she said． " You go there for a special meal．"
   In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says， " I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，" but also， "I'm cosmopolitan（见多识广的）enough to be part of globalization．"
   Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing． "I'm hungry!" any longer．In my own case（with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first "date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the "let's just be friends" phone call the next day．
   In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says "let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth" （an independent café） is much cooler than one says "let's go to Starbucks"，Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations．
   Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK；you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste．I do，however，have a confession．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have retreated to McDonald's．Even so，I would never describe my Big Mac as "haute cuisine．"
（1）Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because        ．
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food．
B．Branches of Monmouth's café can be found all over the UK．
C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the Uk．
D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant．
（3）What does the underlined word " haute cuisine" in the last paragraph mean？
A．high-class cookery
B．expensive cookers
C．delicious food
D．a fashionable tradition
（4）What is the main point of the article？
A．The difference between Chinese food and the western food．
B．The comeback of independent cafes and restaurants in the UK
C．What makes chain restaurants gourmet and fashionable both in China and the UK．
D．The different attitudes towards chain restaurants of Chinese and British people．

203035. （2017•铁一中学•一模） The following passage is adapted from the writings of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist．
   Any scientist who is not a pretender will admit the important part that luck plays in scientific discovery．A colleague and I carried out an experiment in which little tissue fragments（组织碎片），which were very difficult to work with，were injected into mice of different DNA strains．If we had been more experienced，we would have injected only white blood cells （which would have been easier to handle） into the mice．We now know that if we had done this，we would not have made the discovery．Obviously，we were lucky，but our scientific training enabled us to recognize the significance of the accident．
   It might nevertheless seem as if luck plays a significant role in scientific discovery．However，I would like to challenge this view for the following reasons：we sometimes describe as "lucky" a person who wins a prize in a lottery at long odds；but if we describe such an event as luck，what word shall we use to describe the accidental discovery of a lottery ticket that turns out to be the winning one just on a park bench？
   The two cases are quite different．A person who buys a lottery ticket is putting himself or herself in the way of winning a prize．This individual has，so to speak，purchased candidacy（候选资格）for such a turn of events and all the rest is a matter of mathematical probabilities．So it is with scientists．A scientist is anyone who，by observations and experiments conducted，by the literature read，and even by the company kept，puts himself or herself in the way of making a discovery．These individuals，by deliberate action，have enormously enlarged their awareness-their candidacy for good fortune-and will now take into account evidence of a kind that a beginner or a casual observer would probably overlook or misinterpret．
   Nearly all successful scientists have emphasized the importance of preparedness of mind，and I want to emphasize that this preparedness of mind is worked for and paid for by a great deal of effort and reflection．If these efforts lead to a discovery，then I think it would be inappropriate to credit such a discovery to luck．
（1）The outcome of the experiment described in paragraph one suggests that
A．luck play an insignificant part in scientific discovery
B．the injection of only while blood cells allowed the two scientists to make their discovery
C．It was difficult to inject little tissue fragments into mice of different DNT strains
D．the scientists concerned in the experiment were able to benefit from luck
（2）The author uses the example of the lottery winner in order to suggest that
A．blind luck occurs more frequently than people realize
B．luck plays a more important part in most events than people realize
C．luck is not the correct term to use when referring to a significant scientific discovery
D．luck is the best word to be used to describe the accidental discovery in science
（3）The author implies that a scientist achieves " candidacy for good fortune" by
A．making careful and repeated mathematical calculations
B．depending on feelings rather than on scientific research
C．performing enough experiments to increase the statistical probability of success
D．obtaining knowledge that allows him or her to recognize important evidence
（4）The primary purpose of the passage is to
A．make a single definition of luck
B．show that scientists discover what they intend to find
C．compare scientific discovery to a lottery game
D．discuss the role of luck in science

203747. （2024•西工大附中•高二上期末）     I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003.I'd never set foot in a comedy club before.I've always been a performer - I've worked as a singer，actor and musician - but all that came to an end after 9/11.I live in New York，and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building.For a year afterwards，nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
   It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to laugh，to enjoy themselves again，and thought that with a little training I could do it.I took a few classes，tried to work out a routine，and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
   In New York，comedians are typically young men with beards.It's hard enough to break through as a woman，even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time，people laughed nervously.They were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself，stated my age and tried my first joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line，people were properly laughing，I was addicted.
   Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people，or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even today，I'm nervous before I step out.My first line is， "Hello，everybody.I'm 88 and three-quarters years old.I'm telling you that in case I don't make it all the way through the show." Then people laugh and I relax.
   After a show，people young and old come up to me，saying what an inspiration I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I'm pleased I can show that as an older person you don't need to take a back seat in life.
   I've no intention of stopping comedy.I'm taking all these pills，trying to stay alive，and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.It's hard work，but it stops me being bored.I'd only be playing golf otherwise

（1）What made the writer take up comedy？
A．She wanted to overcome her fears
B．She wanted to brighten others' lives
C．She was unwilling to quit performing
D．She wanted to work out a routine
（2）Why does the writer mention young men with beards in Paragraph 3？

（3）How has the writer made progress since her first performance？
A．She now performs before larger audiences
B．She no longer feels nervous before performances
C．She remains on the stage for a longer time
D．She has learned to make a joke of her age
（4）Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？

203806. （2024•周至四中•高一上期末） It was a village in India．The people were poor．However，they were not unhappy．After all，their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries．
   Then one day，some visitors from the city arrived．They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs．However，they did not have enough frogs of their own，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places．
   This seemed like money for nothing．There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers．All they had to do was catch them．Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs．Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money．For the first time，the people were able to dream of a better future．But the dream didn't last long．

   The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak．They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides （杀虫剂） and medicines．Soon there was no money left．
   Then the people realized what was happening．It was the frog．They hadn't been useless．They had been doing an important job-eating insects．Now with so many frogs killed，the insects were increasing more rapidly．They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases．
   Now，the people are still poor．But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs．These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning．

204080. （2023•西安中学•高一上期末） If English means endless new words，difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong.Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language？
   According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
   The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from London University，took a group of Britain people who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners.
   Scanowed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference was.
   "Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，" said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
   Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skill. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，" he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."
   The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing and comprehension were all tested.The resultowed that the younger they started to learn，the better. "Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，" explained the scientists.

（1）The main subject talked about in this passage is       .
A．science on learning a second language
B．man's ability of learning a second language
C．language can help brain power
D．language learning and math study
（2）In the second paragraph，the writer mentions "exercise" in order to       .
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
（3）In the last two paragraphs，the author wants to tell us that       .
A．learning a second language is the same as studying math
B．early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects
C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D．we'd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

204106. （2023•西安中学•高二上期末） I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning，wondering at itape：Hexagonal（六边形的） paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork，with a tidy stone wall running alongside.Just past the wall lay the park itself，where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky，and sparrows emerged from trees.
   The contrast between the straight-lined，orderly，man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man's creation.
   The world holds many examples of circles：the moon，grapes，drops of water and the center of flowers.Triangles（三角形） are readily evident，too.There are kitty cat noses and ears，mountain peaks and river deltas.
   But what about the most common shape in the man-made world，the rectangle（矩形）？I searched my brain for natural equals.Though I thought and thought，I came up with only two：teeth and salt crystals.That surprised me.Do we prefer rectangles simply because it's easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines？Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear？I don't know.
   There are bent lines everywhere.As I look at the beauty of，a tree in winter，with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern，I can apprehend something of what that means.
   Our world isn't always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be.There are twists and turns in my life that I can't foresee or predict.That doesn't mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong.It means that when I find myself in each new place，I need to continue growing and reaching upward.

（1）How did the author feel about the sidewalk'ape？
A．disappointed.
B．surprised.
C．worried.
D．pleased.
（2）What is the author' s attitude to the variouapes mentioned in the text？
A．negative.
B．cautious.
C．unconcerned.
D．objective.
（3）Which can explain the underlined word "apprehend" in paragraph 5？
A．create.
B．imagine.
C．understand.
D．arrange.
（4）What may the author agree with？
A．People should live in a complex world.
B．Triangles are the most common in nature.
C．Natural creation and man's creation should be balanced.
D．We should move forward in the face of uncertainties.

204375. （2023•铁一中学•高三上期末） Leftover again？Hurray Here's the deal：You're as hungry as a horse and you want a delicious meal from a fine restaurant，but you're a little low on funds．
   So what do you do？If you happen to live in Europe，the answer is as easy as pie：You pull out your smartphone or tablet，and tap Too Good To Go，Europe's most popular app．Approximately 23，000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost．
   Why all this incredible generosity？Unbelievably，one-third of the world's food is thrown away，and nearly one billion people don't have enough to eat．Besides，burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere，which contributes to climate change．That's why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones，tablets，and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it．
   After a long day at work，Anne，a 34-year-old student，pulls out her smartphone and chooses a noodle dish-pasta with mushrooms．Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River，where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a scoop of free ice cream，which is a reward for bringing her own container．
   Indeed，there are many programs serving the same mission around the world．In America，people are using an app called Food for All．One hour before a restaurant closes，its staff can post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices．The app also allows customers to donate leftover meals to others．
   In the Netherlands，77，000 people have downloaded an app called NoFoodWasted．This program allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expiration dates with customers who might need them．
   Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a step further．France and the Czech Republic，for example，have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocery stores from throwing away food．Instead，workers are required to donate that food to charity．
    So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables．The planet will thank you．

（1）What is this passage mainly about？
A．Restaurants can post leftover meals on the app Food for All．
B．Apps are designed connecting leftover food with people in need．
C．Storeare food approaching their expiration dates with customers．
D．It's popular for people to claim food that might otherwise be thrown away．
（2）What is the result when lots of food is thrown out and later burned up？
A．Carbon dioxide is given off，worsening the problem of climate change．
B．Some countries have laws making restaurants donate the food they make．
C．Governments have made many apps that let people find cheap meals．
D．Nearly one billion people on the planet do not get enough food to eat．
（3）What can you infer from the passage？
A．Anne packed a tasty pasta and mushroom dish to give away to charity．
B．The restaurant Anne visits sells its leftover food at a discount each day．
C．The 80-percent-off deal offered on app is not available during lunch hours．
D．Laws have been passed to prevent restaurants from throwing out leftover food．

204499. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期末）     Many years ago，I bumped into an old friend of mine.He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful.In his middle age，he seemed defeated and sad.
    I thought of his dogged （顽强的） perseverance.Was it smart or foolish？What could he have achieved？Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on？Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting.Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.
    We chant （反复喊着） "Winners never quit" and "If at first you don't succeed，try again." We lap up （欣然接受） stories of persistence，of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.
    Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success，but it does not reward every person.For every JK Rowling，there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published.For every Olympic athlete，there are innumerable （无数的） others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.
    We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise.So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea？We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak.We believe that perseverance is the key to success.Perseverance is only one part of success.You need talent or skill，as well as passion and drive.Luck and timing are also key to any great success.
    Our society believes that anything is possible，as long as you "believe".But not everyone can make it.Quitting when you're not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do.Obviously，if you enjoy a pursuit，regardless of its outcome，you should continue.If you knew your novel would never be published，would you want to write？If you could never be a champion swimmer，would you still train？Sometimes，it is wise to put your energy into something else.
    Failure is not always the path to success.Sometimes，failure is the door to something new.

（1）What do we know about the author's old friend？
A．He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.
B．He switched his dream of acting to something else.
C．He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.
D．He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.
（2）The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to        .
A．explain how she achieved success in writing
B．show that success doesn't happen to everyone
C．prove that success favors those who are perseverant
D．encourage readers to hold onto their dream until they succeed
（3）What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4？
A．Made out of their dreams.
B．Met the required standard.
C．Improved their performances.
D．Promised to be good players.
（4）What does the author advise us to do if we've failed many times？
A．Make an effort to try new things.
B．Stick to your goal until we succeed.
C．Wait for the right time and good luck.
D．Ask friends or family members for help.

204517. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高一下期末）     When I was young，a friend and I came up with a "big" plan to make reading easy.The idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. "Moby-Dick" by American writer Herman Melville，for instance，was reduced to： "A whale of a tale about the one that got away." As it turned out， the joke was on us.How could a single sentence convey the essence （精髓） of a masterpiece with over five hundred pages？
    Blinkist，a website and an app，now summarizes nonfiction titles in the form of quick takes labeled "bliks." The end result is more than one sentence，but not by much.Sarah Bakewell's "At the Existentialist Cafe" is broken into 11 screens of information；Michelle Obama's "Becoming" fills 13.
    Blinkist has been around since 2012.It calls its summaries "15-minute discoveries" to indicate how long it takes to read a Blinkist summary. "Almost none of us，" the editors assure us， "have the time to read everything we'd like to read." Well，yes，of course. "So many books，so little time." declares a poster I once bought at a book market.But I judge the quality of someone's library by the books he or she has yet to read.
    That's because a book is something we ought to live with，rather than speed through and categorize.It offers an experience as real as any other.The point of reading a book is not accumulating information，or at least not that alone.The most essential aspect is the communication between writer and reader：The idea behind Blinkist，however，is the opposite：
    Reading can be，should be，measured by the efficient uptake （吸收） of key ideas.No，no，no.What's best about reading books is its inefficiency.
    When reading a book，we need to dive in，let it take over us，demand something of us，teach us what it can.Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who don't，in fact，want to read.A 15-minute summary misses the point of reading；speed-reading with the app isn't reading at all.

（1）What does the underlined part "the joke was on us" in Paragraph 1 mean？
A．We were actually joking.
B．We were laughed at by others.
C．We were underestimating ourselves.
D．We were just embarrassing ourselves.
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．What Blinkist is.
B．Why Binkist is popular.
C．How to use Blinkist.
D．Where you can use Blinkist.
（3）What is mentioned as a problem about reading in paragraph 3？
A．There are few new books of quality.
B．Many books are hard to understand.
C．People do not have enough time to read.
D．People do not like reading as much as before.
（4）What is an ideal pattern of reading according to the author？
A．Obtaining key ideas efficiently.
B．Further confirming our beliefs.
C．Accumulating information quickly.
D．Deeply involving ourselves in books.

205313. （2021•新城区•高一下期末） Major cities across the country，from Washington D.C.to Los Angeles，are heating up.The downtown parts of Phoenix can be up to 15 degrees warmer at night than its suburb（郊区）.During the day，the street can reach over 160 degrees，hot enough to cook an egg.Unsurprisingly，walking across such a hot street to get to work，school，and do your daily work takes its toll on your health.
   Local governments have turned to planting trees to help stop rising temperatures in city areas.These tree planting efforts are usually announced with much showing off but are not as simple as planting a few trees and calling it a day.There's typically this sort of blind faith that trees will provide all of wonderful social benefits.But the environmental benefits that trees provide depend entirely on context.Tree planting plans may not lead to the cooling joy we desire in city areas.
   While tees，theoretically，are a "green" solution to unbearable summer city weather，in practice，many problems arise，namely keeping track of just how many trees have already found their roots and convincing land owners to keep planting trees along their personal property（私产）.In some cases，cities are already doing a good enough job that they are running out of space，like in Washington，D.C.where they are currently at 38 percent canopy （树冠）coverage but are hoping to raise coverage up to 40 percent.But the biggest problem is that public area alone isn't enough for new trees in Washington D.C，as well as in cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles，and now，citizens will have to plant trees on personal property to help reach their canopy coverage goals.In many cases，that means landowners need to take care of those trees since they technically don't belong to the city itself.
   At the end of the day，trees are a good starting point，but we still have so much to learn about how well they work to cool down our hottest cities.

（1）What does the underlined word "toll" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Cost.
B．Turn.
C．Time.
D．Place.
（2）What is the author's attitude to planting trees to cool cities？
A．Unconcerned.
B．Dissatisfied.
C．Supportive.
D．Confident.
（3）What is the biggest problem of planting trees in cities？
A．Skills of planting trees.
B．Space for planting trees.
C．The high canopy coverage.
D．The unsure tree ownership.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Heating Cities in the United States
B．A "Green" Solution to Climate Change
C．A Typical Blind Faith in Planting Trees
D．Problems of the Measure to Cool Hot Cities

201578. （2025•长安区•一模）     Will artificial intelligence （AI） replace my job？This is a question that many people think about these days.At present，the application of AI robotics in professional fields，as well as ChatGPT's abilities to write essays，solve complex problems and more，have heightened moral concerns.
    Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society's most fundamental problems，while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence.These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization，the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries.In other words，AI's progress，functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
    Before AI becomes a threat to humanity，the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play.More importantly，related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.Robots，for example，are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime，which enables them to recognize，understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans，but we must avoid AI copying human emotions.Without legal restrictions，AI may become a social disaster.
    The AI-driven new industrial revolution（革命） is irreversible.This，like previous ones，which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before，will certainly affect human employment.But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment.Therefore，it's unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs.While technology advances at a rapid pace，what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.

（1）Why are some people concerned about AI？
A．It has been applied widely.
B．It has led to social problems.
C．It may outsmart humans.
D．It is the product of humanity.

A．By stirring emotions.
B．By setting restrictions.
C．By blocking functions.
D．By changing regulations.
（3）What does the underlined word "irreversible" in the last paragraph mean？
A．Undesirable.
B．Unbelievable.
C．Unpredictable.
D．Unavoidable.
（4）What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era？
A．Deal with it positively.
B．Accept it passively.
C．Respond to it randomly.

205369. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept？How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping？Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer "yes" to these questions to launch his own startup （新兴公司），Stashbee．His business links people with space to those who need it．
   And it's just one player in the booming "sharing economy"，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spaces．Airbnb，a company valued at 200 bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-term．DogVacay pairs holiday making pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by 2017．
   All their business models revolve around one simple word：trust．So，how does Stashbee measure up？BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himself．He had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two months．All relatively smooth and painless．
   Heavyweights （行业巨头） in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，aren't convinced．A representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with "amateurs"．He considered 24/7（全天候） access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service．
   Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers we've been taught since childhood．They aren't alone．Companies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudes．
   And the concept of social storage doesn't stop there．CityStasher believe there's a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of time．
   Would you try it out？It's a question of trust．
