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．

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．

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.
B．Worried.

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

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.
C．A petrol-powered vehicle.
D．A raincoat made of algae.
（3）What does the underlined word "sequester" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．increase.
B．create.
C．trap.
D．release.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to algae-based materials？
A．Skeptical.
B．Optimistic.
C．Conservative.

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        .
A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B.See success as a proof of intelligence or talent
C.Focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D.Believe good things will happen during difficult times
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to        .
A.explain the differences between two mindsets
B.persuade people to adopt the right mindset
C.inform people of the influence of the mindset
D.advise people to access their mindset

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

（1）What does the fashion industry bring about？
A．People's love for fast fashion.
B．Sufficient resources.
C．Cheap price tags.
D．Damage to the earth.

205943. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） Visualization is closely related to positive thinking．It is used by athletes，musicians，actors，speakers，and others to improve their performance in stressful situations．How does it work？Listen to long-distance runner Vicki Huber：
Right before a big race，I'll picture myself running，and I will try and put all of the other competitors in the race into my mind．Then I will try and imagine every possible situation I might find myself in…behind someone，being pushed，different positions on the track，laps to go，and，of course the final part．And I always picture myself winning the race，no matter what happens during the event．
Of course，Huber doesn't win every race she runs，but research haown that the kind of mental imaging she describes can significantly increase athletic performance．It has also shown that visualization can help speakers control their stage fright．
The key to visualization is creating a vivid mental blueprint in which you see yourself succeeding in your speech．Picture yourself in your classroom rising to speak．See yourself at the lectern（放演讲稿的讲桌），self-assured，making eye contact（接触）with your audience and delivering your introduction in a firm，clear voice．Feel your confidence growing as your listeners get more and more caught up in what you are saying．Imagine your sense of achievement as you conclude the speech knowing you have done your very best．
As you create these images in your mind's eye，be realistic but stay focused on the positive aspects of your speech．Don't allow negative images to affect the positive ones．Acknowledge your nervousness，but picture yourself overcoming it to give an effective presentation．If one part of the speech always seems to give you trouble，visualize yourself getting through it without any problems．And be specific．The clearer your mental pictures，the more successful you are likely to be．
As with your physical rehearsal（排练）of the speech，this kind of mental rehearsal should be repeated several times in the days before you speak．It doesn't guarantee that every speech will turn out exactly the way you imagine it-and it certainly is no replacement for thorough preparation．But it is a proven way to help control your nerves and to make a successful presentation．
（1）Huber's visualization of her races        ．
A．is detailed and thorough
B．is used during the event
C．is based on real pictures
D．is created with other runners
（2）According to the text，if you run into difficulty when preparing a speech，you should        ．
A．ignore the negative aspects
B．do the mental imaging later
C．imagine finishing it smoothly
D．create clearer mental pictures
（3）What do we learn about mental rehearsal？
A．It usually produces the desired results．
B．It may be a good way to calm you down．
C．It is more important than physical rehearsal．
D．It is a good chance to show your imagination．

205880. （2017•西安中学•高一下期末） A new study in December's Journal of Family Psychology says that working mothers report being healthier and happier than the stay-at-home mothers．The author，Dr．Cheryl Buehler，concludes that"A mother's economic role is central to family life，and it supports her well-being and her parenting．"What about the miserably conflicted working mother crying at her desk because her baby's first words were"au pair（家务女工）"？
Though Buehler's study relies on data from more than 1，300 mothers of young children across the U．S．-tracked over a 10-year period-the research is far from perfect．To begin with，it's pretty old，as it covers the decade beginning in 1991．So it's unfair to ask whether contemporary（当代的）working moms，whose companies have been downsized（减员的） and whose bosses may expect them to turn on their Black Berries for 24 hours，are quite as peaceful as their Clinton-time mothers．Even more importantly，the study focused on part-time working moms．
But what really makes this study unique is that the focus is on the mothers as well as the children．After decades of research on how working mothers affect their children，somebody's finally gotten around to investigate how it affects the moms．The study also takes a big step to the ongoing need for flexibility（灵活性） in the American workplace-and at home，because this is the power of balance．What's right for any family is what makes the members within it as happy and fulfilled as possible．
The idea that both work and parenting-especially in combination-can contribute to a woman's mental and physical health is good news．But we're complicated beings and the things that satisfy us are diverse（多元的）．They're our children and our careers．Nobody said it was easy．But maybe if you want to have it all，a good place to start is by doing it all．

（1）What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph？
A．Working mother doesn't like her job．
B．Working mother is often not very happy．
C．Working mother hates the au pair very much．
D．Working mother loves to cry to relax herself．
（2）What do we know from the second paragraph？
A．Part time working mothers are happier than before．
B．The Clinton-time mothers are much busier than today's．
C．Today's moms have much better cellphones than before．
D．The contemporary working moms have much more pressure．
（3）In the third paragraph，the author        ．
A．emphasizes the flexibility in the American working time
B．believes it is not very important to do this kind for research
C．loves to see the research on how working mothers affect themselves
D．considers study on how working mothers affect their children necessary．

205980. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） University-the best days of my life!I made lots of friends in my student dorm，went to great parties，joined the debating society…and，well，I did some work too-but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）．
It's easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus，most of us were out of our comfort zone．
In fact，a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress，or a mental health condition，during their time at college．The survey，completed by over a thousand students，also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week，and 9% of students feel stressed constantly．
Kirsty，a student at Exeter University，didn't enjoy her first days in college．She says："When I first got to university I don't think I'd realized that I'd forgotten how to make friends．I'd been with the same school friends for seven years，and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age．"
Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"
I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way．I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump．
（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 2？
A．rose-shaped glasses
B．positive perspectives
C．negative sides
D．flower-like tools
（2）What did Kirsty find most difficult to do during her first days in college？
A．Not knowing how to make new friends．
B．Not realizing the importance of making friends．
C．Looking after herself at quite an early age．
D．Trying to achieve academic success．
（3）Which of the following tips are helpful or important EXCEPT         according to Dr．Ruth Caleb？
A．having the ability to cook
B．being able to do the cleaning
C．learning how to spend money on one's own
D．balancing social success and academic success
D．Acquiring some life skills isn't that important to new students．
（4）What does the author probably mean by saying"I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way"？
A．He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus．
B．He graduated from college with many achievements．
C．It might have taken him some time to get used to college life．
D．It might have made him proud by leading an independent life at college．

202388. （2021•西安中学•十模） Researchers at the University of Maryland have turned ordinary sheets of wood into transparent material that is nearly as clear as glass，but stronger and with better insulating properties（隔热性）.It could become an energy efficient building material in the future.
   Wood is made of two basic ingredients：cellulose，which are tiny fibres，and lignin （木质素），which is a glue-like material that bonds the fibres together to give it strength.The lignin also contains molecules called chromophores，which give the wood its brown color and prevent light from passing through.
   Early attempts to make transparent wood involved removing the lignin，but this involved harmful chemicals，high temperatures and a lot of time，making the product expensive and somewhat fragile.The new technique is so cheap and easy that it could literally be done in a backyard.
   Starting with pieces of wood a meter long and one millimeter thick，the scientists simply brushed on a solution（溶液）of hydrogen peroxide using an ordinary paint brush.When left in the sun，or under a UV lamp for an hour or so，the peroxide remove color from the brown chromophores but left the lignin undamaged，so the wood turned white.Next，they filled the wood with a tough transparent epoxy，which filled in the spaces in the wood and then hardened.This made the white wood transparent.
   As window material，it would be much more resistant to accidental breakage.The clear wood is lighter than glass，with better insulating properties，which is important because windows are a major source of heat loss in buildings.It also might take less energy to produce clear wood because there are no high temperatures involved.
   Transparent wood could become an alternative to glass in energy efficient buildings，or perhaps coverings for solar panels in harsh environments.There could be no end of uses.

（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The classification of wood strength.
B．The characteristics of wood.
C．The causes of wood color.
D．The structure of wood.
（2）How did the researchers make wood transparent in the past？
A．By removing the lignin.
B．By reducing chemicals.
C．By lowering the temperature.
D．By changing the experiment site.
（3）What is the function of the epoxy？
A．To make the wood stronger.
B．To take away the brown color.
C．To turn the wood transparent.
D．To fill the spaces in the wood.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Replacing Glass with Wood
B．Turning Wood Transparent
C．Energy Saving Material
D．Eco-friendly Alternative

203170. （2016•西安中学•四模） It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence．There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words．For example，we can say to a child"Don't run into traffic!"or"Stay on the footpath close to me．"In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel confident in a wide range of situations，because they know what to do，and aren't scaring themselves about what not to do．
   Actually，it is all in the way the human mind works．What we think，we automatically rehearse（预演）．For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldn't be able to do it．When a child is told"Don't fall off the tree，"he will think of two things："don't"and"fall off the tree"．That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind．A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off．So it is far better to use"Hold on to the tree carefully"．
   Clear，positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things．Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words．So parentould make their commands positive．"Sam，hold on firm to the side of the boat"is much more useful than"Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？"or worse still"How do you think I'll feel if you drown？"The changes are small but difference is obvious．
   Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words，so it pays to be positive．

（1）Positive choice of words helps kids to       ．
A．build up their confidence
B．learn in different situations
C．improve their imagination
D．do things carefully
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2？
A．A child will act on what is instructed．
B．One can't help imagining what is heard．
C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to．
D．One won't think of a blue monkey when given money．
（3）Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe？
A．How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt？
B．Don't play by the lake．
C．Fasten your seat belt．
D．Don't you dare to walk through the red light？
（4）The main idea of the passage is that       ．
A．praise makes kids confident
B．right instructions keep kids safe
C．clear commands make kids different
D．positive instructions guide kids
