205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report
C．An experiment report
D．An exploration review

205453. （2020•西安中学•高二上期末） A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK．
   The documentary，titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough？focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire．
   The teachers instruct the students for a month．The pupils are then tested，and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system．The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance．
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students．A clip from the documentary online shows some problems，with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline，while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy．
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK，with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline．Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking．For instance，Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters．They should inspire students，helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature．This is a higher level of teaching．
  Yang Dongping，dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute，says， "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority．Foreign teaching methods，however，are more natural and relaxing，and designed to inspire students' interest in learning．Education methods are based on culture．That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place．"
   Yang Dongping says， "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods．Nobel prize winner，Yang Zhenning，gave a very fair comment on this issue．He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively，helping them reach high standards．However，it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students．"

（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens？
A．To test the intelligence of the UK teens．
B．To help the school improve their teaching efficiency．
C．To do some practical research into the UK education system．
D．To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods．
（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word "harsh" in the fourth paragraph？
A．Extremely strict
B．Quite friendly
C．Rather cold
D．Very attractive
（3）According to Yang Dongping，Chinese teaching methods        ．
A．fit all countries

205426. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete．Several years ago，it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality （道德） or religion．
   Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial，among many cases，it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．Moreover，cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own．
   Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned，so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．
   However，arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily，I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life．There would be a large number of same genes，which reduce the chances of evolution，since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment，which will result in ultimate disappearance．Furthermore，cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus，leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and，chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society．
   Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool"．
   Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent．We should try to look at all "shades" of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs；not humans．Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life"．It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．

（1）What's the author's opinion on cloning？
A．Cloning should be entirely banned．
B．Cloning should be used in creating life．
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．
（2）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？
A． $德优题库$ B． $德优题库$
C． $德优题库$ D． $德优题库$
（3）Where is the text probably from？
A．A story book．
B．A magazine．
C．A science fiction．
D．A novel．

205999. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690．Published without permission，it was immediately banned，and all copies were destroyed．Indeed，it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library．
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter，begun by John Campbell in 1704．Although it was heavily supported by the government，the experiment was nearly a failure，with the limited number of published newspapers．Two more papers were published in the 1720s，in Philadelphia and New York．Just before the Revolutionary War，some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies（殖民地），although Massachusetts，New York，and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years．Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent．

His grave is the richest of any found from that period，because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）．Besides，he was buried three miles from Stonehenge．Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge．
Stonehenge was begun around 3，000 BC．In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built．The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons．But the smaller blue stones，still weighing 4 tons on average，came from west Wales．It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km．It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries．
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain．In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age．

206054. （2016•七十中•高一下期末） It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia．EL Nino，referring to the Christ son in Spanish，was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas．EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．El Nino lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions，warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds bring early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms no longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．El Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，El Nino was stronger than usual．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry，forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2，000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over 3，000，000，000．It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．
（1）From the passage we know El Nino is        ．
A．a powerful storm
B．a place in Australia
C．a cute boy
D．a weather pattern
（2）The underlined word"occurs"in the passage means"        "in Chinese．
A．发生
B．发展
C．消失
D．持续
（3）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia in 1982．
B．Many forests were destroyed in the Australian drought．
C．The Australian government paid over 3，000，000，000 for this drought．

212933. （2023•周至六中•高二上期中） Plants are very important living things．Life could not go on if there were no plants．This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals．Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live．This is why we find that there are so many plants around us．
If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants．
Flowering plants can make seeds．The seeds are protected by the fruits．Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three of four，and some have many seeds．But a few fruits have no seeds at all．An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit．
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds．They grow from spores（胚种）．Spores are very small．Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air．We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds．When these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants．

（1）The main idea of the first paragraph is that        ．
A．plants are important for life．
B．plants cannot grow without air．
C．there are many plants in the world．
D．we cannot live without water．
（2）Plants can make food from        ．
A．flower，water and air
B．water，sunlight and air
C．air，water and soil
D．air，sun and light
（3）What can we infer（推断） from the passage？
A．Of all living things animals are most important．
B．Spores are seeds．
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds．
D．Without plants，man will die out．
（4）This passage may be taken from        ．

205508. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina，but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world．Denmark now gets 47% of its electricity from wind，and there will be more to come，thanks to a combination of history and policy．
   Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century．So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest．Since the 1970s，Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country．In the 1980s，due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants，Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it．
   Even back in 2002，Denmark took climate change warnings seriously．They drew up policies，aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%，which they did via renewable energy investment．Some of the world's largest companies in the field-including Vestas，which builds turbines（涡轮机），and Orsted，which specializes in offshore wind projects-are Danish，so the country has an impact beyond its borders．
   The huge impact of Denmark's wind industry is important．But Denmark is a small country，so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable，it's also minor in terms of entire global impact．
   While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5，758 megawatts （MW） of capacity，Spain's 23，000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country．China is the leader in wind energy at 221，000 MW，and the U．S．is the second in the world at about 96，000 MW．
   At the end of 2019，lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%．

（1）What can we know about Denmark？
A．It is a leader in solar energy．
B．It is a pioneer in clean energy．
C．It is a victim of climate change．
D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy．
（2）What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects？
A．Indifferent．
B．Ambiguous．
C．Positive．
D．Opposed．
（3）Which country produces the most wind energy in the world？
A．Denmark．
B．China．
C．The U．S．
D．Spain．
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Almost Half of Denmark's Electricity Comes from Wind Power
B．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel Projects
C．Denmark Has a Great Effect on World's Wind Power Equipment
D．Denmark Has a Long History of Developing Renewable Power

203073. （2017•铁一中学•三模） Good news for giant panda lovers：The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction．
The International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii．
$德优题库$
The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1，864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014-their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014．
Chinese conservation efforts，including forest protection and reforestation，are considered to be the driving force behind the animal's resurgence．
"It's all about restoring the habitats，"Craig Hilton-Taylor，head of the IUCN Red List，told the BBC．
The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67，from 13 in 1992．Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves，according to the World Wildlife Fund．
"Just by restoring the panda's habitat，that's given them back their space and made food available to them，"Hilton-Taylor said．
A loss of habitats，on the contrary，was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1，200 in the 1980s，Hilton-Taylor added．
Apart from giant pandas，the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from"endangered"to"near threatened"．According to a statement from IUCN，the animal's numbers dwindled severely-dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65，000-72，500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching．Rigorous（严格的） protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100，000 and 150，000．
Despite the improved statuses，wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges．The IUCN warned，for example，that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80 years，which would reverse the species recent gains．

（1）What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean？

A．dangerous and threatened

B．safe and sound

C．weak and easily hurt

D．normal and common

（2）Which of the following can account for pandas' living improvement？
A．Better climate．
B．More built reserves．
C．Well restored habitats．
D．Aroused public awareness．
（3）The passage is written in order to ．

A．convince

B．inform

C．argue D advocate

（4）What does the last paragraph imply？
A．The climate will influence the threatened species．
B．We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species．
C．Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food．
D．Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply．
