202996. （2017•西安一中•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．

202994. （2017•西安一中•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．

204622. （2023•高新一中•高二上期末） Dreams，according to Carl Jung，reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness.In Jungian philosophy，the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives.While Jung's mystical theories are debatable，he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming.A growing number of reportow that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.
   This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic （新陈代谢的） systems，let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns，which has long-term consequences on our memory system.One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM （Rapid Eye Movement） sleep，the stage in which we dream，the mice couldn't strengthen memories.
   You might think this is just a sleep problem，but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest.We sleep in cycles，each lasting about 90 minutes；in a sleep cycle，we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM.As the night progresses，REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep （one of the stages of non-REM sleep） decreases.The longer we sleep，the more time we spend in REM，which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning.If we sleep less than seven hours，however，it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.
   The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer.We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly.However，we're not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant （抗抑郁剂） — dreams.Instead，we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep，which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.
   We're paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways.For example，a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep，REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration （整合） of unassociated information.Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.
   Rowan Hooper，the managing editor at New Scientist，writes that dreams that include an "emotional core" appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.

（1）What's Carl Jung's view about dreams？
A．They cause chaos.
B．They damage immunity.
C．They reveal secrets.
D．They mirror reality.
（2）Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3？
A．To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.
B．To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.
C．To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.
D．To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.
（3）What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5？
A．REM sleep promotes creativity.
B．REM sleep helps fight depression.
C．The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.
D．The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.
B．The absence of dreams is terrible for us.
C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.
D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.

213359. （2023•西安中学•高一下期中） - Recent research discovered that a low-cost computer training program can help older persons drive less dangerously.
   "We developed a training program，called Drive Aware，which could be used by anyone who has a computer，" says Jing Feng，co-author of the study and a professor of psychology at NC State. "Drive Aware is a cognitive （认知的） training program for older persons that helps them notice traffic risks more effectively.The purpose of our recent study was to see how much Drive Aware changes trainees' driving behaviors once they get behind the wheel."
   The researchers found 27 persons aged 65 and up to test Drive Aware.In a driving simulator （模拟器），all of the study participants （参与者） experienced a basic driving exam.The "active training" group was made up of nine of the study participants.Every two weeks，the active training group had two Drive Aware trainings.A group of nine additional study participants was asked to take "passive training".This group watched videos of others receiving the Drive Aware instruction.This happened twice，with each lasting about a week.The control group，which was made up of the remaining nine study participants，received no training.After that，all 27 study participants performed a second driving exam in the simulator.
   The study participants in the active training group experienced 25% fewer "unsafe incidents （事件）" following the training，according to the researchers.There was no obvious change in the number of dangerous incidents among study participants in the passive training and control groups.
   "This testing was done with a fairly limited number of study participants，" Feng says. "If we can succeed in getting the fund，we'd like to further our testing with more people to clearly prove how effective this training is at reducing accidents among older drivers."

（1）What does the underlined phrase "get behind the wheel" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Take a risk.
B．Start a program.
C．Drive a car.
D．Use a computer.
（2）What was the "passive training" group required to do？
A．Experience no training.
B．Receive two Drive Aware trainings.
C．Take three driving tests.
D．Observe videos of Drive Aware trainings.
（3）How did the researchers arrive at their testing result？
A．By quoting former figures.
B．By investigating car accidents.
C．By operating the driving simulator.
D．By comparing participants' performances.
（4）What is Feng's attitude towards the testing？
A．Unclear.

202540. （2021•西安中学•八模） A living，bio-degradable （可生物降解的）fabric named "Biogarmentry" has been invented.Made from algae （藻），the textile （纺织品） purifies the air around it through photosynthesis （光合作用）.
   Researchers claim it's the first living textile，and have fashioned the material into sheer，cloak-like garment.While prototypes （雏形） like these are still in the early stages of research and design，and far from mass production，they challenge the fashion industry to reimagine ways it can reduce its large carbon footprint through alternative fabrics.
   Fashion is one of the world's most polluting industries.It's responsible for more carbon emissions than international flights and shipping combined，amounting to 10% of all greenhouse gasses emitted globally.The crops traditionally used to make clothing absorb carbon as they grow，but most natural materials are still carbon emitters.Take a single T-shirt made of cotton as an example.The estimated footprint of a cotton shirt over its lifetime is 15 kilograms （33 pounds） of carbon dioxide，with most of that emitted during the energy-intensive production and dyeing（染色） processes.
   In recent years，environmental start-ups have proposed a number of alternative natural fibres，many of which have the potential to sequester carbon but none have been shown to achieve zero emissions.As algae has the ability to trap carbon，a carbon-negative raincoat made of marine algae has been created.Algae-based materials are，currently，where electric vehicle technologies were a decade ago.The technology is now ready for prime time.When the resulting garments are commercially available，we can imagine people wearing their own organic cloak，spraying their organism as they go to work and encouraging their algae to purify the air.

（1）What's the text mainly about？
A．A textile helping purify the air.
B．An industry causing pollution.
C．A way to achieve zero-emission.
D．A trend in the fashion industry.
（2）Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly？
A．An international flight.
B．Clothing made of cotton.

A．increase.
B．create.
C．trap.
D．release.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to algae-based materials？

202578. （2021•长安区•二模） Scientists have discovered an astonishing number of Antarctic blue whales in the waters off the coast of South Georgia，an island in the South Atlantic Ocean，suggesting decades of conservation efforts are paying off.
   During a 23-day survey，a team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey（BAS） counted 55 animals.Dr.Trevor Branch，a scientist from the University of Washington，who specializes in studying blue whales，said the number was truly amazing.
   In the last century，Antarctic blue whales were nearly hunted to extinction for their blubber，a thick layer of fat that marine animals have under their skin to keep their bodies warm.Hunters used the blubber for oil to use in products like soap or fuel for oil lamps.Around South Australia，more than 33，000 whales are believed to have been killed.A hunting ban was introduced in 1966，but by that time the whales were critically endangered.In 2018 there were reported to be only around 3000 Antarctic blue whales left.
   These sightings by the BAS team，helped by scientists from the University of Auckland in New Zealand，are a positive sign that the population is increasing.
   "In a period of 40 or 50 years，I only had records for two sightings of blue whales around South Georgia，" Dr.Branch told the reporter. "So to go from basically nothing to 55 in one year is astonishing." The cold water around South Georgia has always been popular with whales because it is crowded with krill，tiny shrimp-like creatures that are the whales' favorite food.
   The high count was so unusual that other scientists wondered whether it was a one-off，perhaps caused by usually high number of krill temporarily attracting whales from other areas.However，Dr.Jennifer Jackson from BAS says the quantity of krill was no different from other years.She's confident the population growth shown in the recordings is real and down to the protection that the whales now have.This remains to be seen，but it is highly suggested that when the next assessment is released，most likely at the end of 2021，it could show a further increase in the number of Antarctic blue whales.With the comeback of the whale，this could be an inspiration for environmental campaigns that still have progress to make.

（1）Para.3 is mainly about       .
A．the danger that blue whales faced.
B．the efforts to save blue whales.
C．the importance of blue whales.
D．the effect of the hunting ban.
（2）What can we infer about the blue whales from the passage？
A．They will not be endangered in the near future.
B．The number of them rises because their food increases.
C．More conservation activities will be held to protect them.
D．The coast of South Georgia offered them suitable temperature.
（3）As for other scientists' opinion on the high count，Dr.Jennifer Jackson is       .
A．supportive
B．disapproving
C．fearful
D．uncertain
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Blue Whales Makes Surprise Comeback
B．An Amazing Secret of Blue Whales
C．The Best Way to Protect Blue Whales
D．Blue Whales Set New Trends in Conservation

201827. （2024•西安中学•九模）     The view you adopt for yourself significantly affects the way you lead your life.It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value.How does this happen？How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and，as a result，your life？
    Believing that your qualities are carved in stone-the fixed mindset-create s an urgency to prove yourself over and over.Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age.Even as a child，I was focused on being smart，but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs Wilson，my sixth grade teacher.She believed that people's IQ scores told the whole story of who they were.We were seated around the room in IQ order，and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework，or take a note to the principal.She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one consuming goal—look smart，don't look stupid.
    I've seen so many people with this consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom，in their careers，and in their relationships.Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence，personality，or character.Every situation is evaluated：Will I succeed or fail？Will I look smart or stupid？Will I feel like a winner or a loser？
    But doesn't our society value intelligence，personality，and character？Isn't it normal to want these qualities？Yes，but...
    There's another mindset，the growth mindset，which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts.Everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience.Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children？That the photographer Cindy Sherman，who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century，failed her first photography course？
    You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning.Why waste time proving how great you are，when you could be getting better？Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them？The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it，even when it's not going well，is the feature of the growth mindset.This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward Mrs Wilson's way of teaching？
A.Unconcerned.
B.Sceptical.
C.Supportive.
D.Neutral.
（2）According to paragraph 5，the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that        .
A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B.achievements can be gained through hard work
C.It's difficult to predict one's future success
D.One single outcome defines our ability
（3）The author strongly believes that we should        .

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

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

203516. （2015•西工大附中•八模） Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful？This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation．He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．
   During the hours when you labour through your work，you may say that you're"hot"．That's true．The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some people that peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）as"Get up，John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．
   You can't change your energy cycle，but you can make your life fit it better．Habit can help．Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour．This won't change your cycle，but you'll get up energy and work better at your low point．
   Get off to a slow start which saves your energy．Get up with a yawn and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours．

（1）If you want to work better at your low point in the morning，you should       ．
A．change your energy cycle
B．overcome your laziness
C．get up earlier than usual
D．go to bed earlier
（2）You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will       ．
A．help to keep your energy for the day's work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day
（3）What's the best title of the passage？
A．Change Your Habits

C．Daily Energy Cycle
D．Temperature-and-Energy Peak
（4）The text is likely to be selected from a book of       ．

205640. （2018•西安中学•高一下期末） Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
   Sounds unusual，doesn't it？But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China's high-speed railway system．And that's not all．China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
   China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge（轨距），maintenance of railway tracks．But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
   China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．It'll be a win-win project．For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．
   For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China's far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all．And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

（1）According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is        ．
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
（2）China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because        ．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions．
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways．
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries．
D．The foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism．
（3）Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan？
A．Critical．
B．Reserved．
C．Doubtful．
D．Positive．
（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High-speed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network

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

（1）Why have schools around the Chicago area adopted CrossFit？
A．To improve students' performance in competitive sports．
B．To introduce something more challenging to the students．
C．To help solve the students' weight problem．
D．To make traditional gym classes more attractive．

A．The majority believe it's effective．
B．They show little interest in it．
C．73%agree it has a bad influence．
D．Most of them think it's of no use．
（3）What does the underlined word"workout"in Paragraph 5 refer to？
A．Wiltz's performance．
B．The basketball court．
C．The physical exercise．
D．A lot of fun．
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

203478. （2015•师大附中•四模） In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity，others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
   I have taught many children who held the belief that their self - worth relied （依赖） on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life - and - death affairs．In their single - minded pursuit （追求） of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
   However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse： "I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．" What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self - respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．

（1）What does this passage mainly talk about？
A．Competition helps to set up self - respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
（2）Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？
A．It pushes society forward．
B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities．
D．It encourages individual efforts．
（3）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means       ．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
（4）Which point of view may the author agree to
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life - and - death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．
