（1）细节理解题。根据第三自然段And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people，so she made efforts to grow quality melons ，which began paying off in 1973.（她认为生活中最美好的事情是你所创造的一切都能为人民服务，所以她努力种植优质甜瓜，并于1973年开始获得回报。）可知，吴明珠主要想种植高端甜瓜是因为她想创造一些能为人们服务的东西。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四自然段中Wu and her team developed new germ﹣plasm（种质）resources，from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon （香瓜）varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance"（吴和她的团队开发了新的种质资源，从中培育了30多个适应性更好、抗病性更强的西瓜和甜瓜品种）可知我们可以从第4段中了解到吴和她的团队从新的种质资源中培育出高质量的甜瓜。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段She is one of the 8，000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated（培育）more than 20，000 of China's new seed varieties through offseason breeding.（她是过去60年来每年从全国各地来到海南的8000名农业科学家之一，通过淡季育种培育了2万多个中国新种子品种。）可知，超过20，000种新型种子是由8000多个农业科学家培育出来的。A项"She has cultivated more than 20，000 of China's new seed varieties."（她培育了2万多个中国新种子品种）不符合原文表述，故选A。
（4）文章类型题。浏览文章可知，文章主要介绍了"我国西瓜女王吴明珠院士生平以及其培育如今市面上出现的各个西瓜品种的贡献"，所以推测，这是一篇介绍名人事迹的传记类的新闻报道类文章。故选D。

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．

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．

203205. （2016•西安中学•二模） At 2 pm on 5 December 1945，five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather．Shortly afterwards，the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning．Two hours after take-off，all contact with the planes was lost．A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes．Within 20 minutes，radio contact with it had also been lost．No trace of any of the planes was ever found．In all，six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air．
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area：for years，navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported．The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle．The Cyclops，a 19，000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk，Virginia in March 1918，when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ever being found．
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation．The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend．The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils' Triangle，the Triangle of Death，the Graveyard of the Atlantic．It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1，000 people．Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean．

203283. （2016•华清中学•二模） When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam，he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake，President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that，in Korea，wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore，she should be addressed （称谓） as Mrs．Sohn．
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．
In addition to Koreans，some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents．They become puzzled about the student's correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．
Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries，she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name，they generally write the father's family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures，the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce，admit it，and ask the person to help you say it correctly．
（1）The story of Bill Clinton is used to        ．
A．improve US-Korean relations

（3）To address a married woman properly，you'd better        ．

203285. （2016•华清中学•二模） Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants，nurses，sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．
Many of these wage-earners return in the end．In the meantime，they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines' case，over 10% of its GDP．Between January and November，the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting （劳务输出） countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import （输入） labour，as in Europe，falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．
On January 13^th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） signed an agreement to help migrant （流动的） workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries，but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．
Of the ten ASEAN countries，the Philipines，Indonesia，Myanmar，Cambodia，Vietnam and Laos export labour，Singapore and Brunei import it，and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that，in the next ten years，the total labour force of the worker-exporting countrieould grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control．
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers，and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore，just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates （犯罪率）．
（1）It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that        ．
A．the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B．labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D．the country both exports and imports labour force
（2）The flow of labour is a growing problem because        ．
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
（3）For the labour-importing countries，the flow of labour may lead to        ．
A．higher birth rates
B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows
D．stronger job competition
（4）The writer of the text seems to        ．
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem．

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        ．

206027. （2016•长安区一中•高二下期末） On May 3，2002，archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC．Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior．There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat．He carried a copper knife on his breast．The most amazing find was two gold earrings．That would have made him a man of distinction．Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay，tools and materials to make arrows，a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second，smaller copper knife．Next to them lay a cushion stone，upon which the man could work metal．
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．

213944. （2021•西安中学•高二上期中） Herta Müller，the Romanian-born German writer，has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday.
   Ms.Müller，56，immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987.She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901.She is the 12th woman to win the literature prize.But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V.S.Naipaul，Ms.Müller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany.
   "I am very surprised and still cannot believe it，" Ms.Muller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany. "I can't say anything more at the moment."
   She has written some 20 books，but just 5 have been translated into English，including the novels "The Land of Green Plums" and "The Appointment."
   At the news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin，where she lives，Ms.Müller，wearing all black and sitting on a leopard-print chair，appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on her.
   When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich B?ll，Ms.Müller remained philosophical. "I am now nothing better and I'm nothing worse，" she said，adding， "My inner thing is writing.That's what I can hold on to."
   Earlier in the day，at a news conference in Stockholm，Peter Englund，secretary of the Swedish Academy，said Ms.Müller was honored for her "very，very distinct special language" and because "she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one Müller grew up in."

202768. （2020•西安中学•二模） Nobel prize-winners，legendary authors，and famous scientists - you might think all these people were born to be creative．However，that's not always the case．
   While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers" - people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life．
   This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States． "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study．
   According to the study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual and experimental thinkers．
   To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks．
   Some peaked from ages 25-29．Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things．
   The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s．These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time．This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions．
   "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg．He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative disciplines （知识领域）．So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic．Your creative peak may be yet to arrive．

（1）What did the study from the US find？
A．Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people．
B．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking．
C．One's creative peak is related to their job type．
D．Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times．
（2）What does the underlined word "conventional" mean in context？
A．Easy．
B．Unusual．
C．Traditional．
D．Appropriate．
（3）What do we know about experimental thinkers？
A．Their talents usually bloom in their 20s．
B．They are good at doing experiments．
C．They work out new methods based on experience．
D．They are more successful than conceptual thinkers．
（4）What would Weinberg probably agree with？
A．It's difficult to find one's talent in later years．
B．More research needs to be done about creative peaks．
C．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field．
D．Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s．

205979. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

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
