205153. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） Richard Turere walks through his family's farm just outside Nairobi National Park in Kenya.Goats，cows，and sheep eat grass peacefully on the farm while in the park nearby，lions wander leisurcly，living in peace with the livestock （家畜）. An extraordinary picture! How do livestock manage to live safely near these huge lions？It' s all due to this young man's brilliant invention-Lion Lights.
   Livestock is his family' s entire livelihood--which is why whenever lions attacked their goats，sheep，or cattle，it was disastrous.There seemed to be no good solution to the problem until Richard began working on it.After a lion killed his family's only bull，Richard started experimenting with ways to scare off the lions.His first two attempts--fire and then a scarecrow--were unsuccessful.But one night when he was walking around with a flashlight，he noticed that lions stayed away.That's when he realized：these big cats were afraid of moving lights!
   Then Richard--who'd taken apart and studied machines since he was very small—began experimenting.Despite his lack of any formal training in electrical engineering，he fitted a system of flashing LED lights on poles around the farm.The flashing lights，which he made from vehicle indicator flashers，car batteries，and a solar panel，tricked the lions into thinking the grounds were guarded，keeping the lions away.
   The word got out about the brilliant "lion-lights boy".Soon Richard was fixing the Lion Lights system for neighbors.Later，his invention won him a scholarship to Kenya's well-known Brookhouse International School.And when Richard was 13，he was invited to California to speak about his invention at a TED conference.These days，Richard still lives on his family's farm，and fixes the Lion Lights system for people all over Kenya，which functions efficiently.He dreams of becoming an airplane engineer and pilot，but he also works to arouse people's awareness about the need to support young Kenyan inventors like himself.

204621. （2023•高新一中•高二上期末） Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical.At home，his dad never listened to music，while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf.But last month he started to play the harmonica （口琴） on the streets of Bradford.People clapped，danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.Horam caught himself thinking："How，at the age of 79，do I come to be playing music to people on the streets？"
   The question preoccupied him，because，some years ago at a family gathering，Cavin，his eldest son，said： "You know what，Dad？It can't be coincidental.We must have got our musical abilities from you." Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments.He was surprised. "There can't be music in me，because I can' play!" he said.
   Eight years ago，Horam，a retired civil servant，was on his way back from a trip with his family.Gavin stopped at a music shop.He walked out and said： "Here you are.I bought this for you，Dad.It's a harmonica.I'll try to show you how to play a bit."
   They went to a session at their local pub.Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica，trying to make a sound that no one would hear.After six months，he was invited into the group.He discovered a talent for improvisation （即兴表演），responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. "I don't play by ear.I play by heart." Actually，Horam says： "My harmonica plays me—how I feel，what I am，what I've been."
   Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel "part of something much bigger" than himself. "At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking，mine is expanding，" he says. "Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do."

204535. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高二下期末）     Should we focus on our goal，or on the process？
    What happened to Brenda Martinez，a US Olympic runner，may provide us with the answer.She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics.Focusing on everything that would give her another chance，she quickly let go of what happened in the 800 m race and got back to her routine.A week later，she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio.Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team，she concentrated on the process.
    Generally，overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking，unethical （不道德的） behavior and reduced motivation.We see this happen in the real world all the time：someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring，and，in the worst case，he'll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition.These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
    Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them.For example，some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues".Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there.Dieters often experience this in what's called "yo-yo dieting" — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
    However，focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment，regardless of the ultimate outcome.It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts.For Martinez，this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800 m race，but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition，sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500 m race.
    Therefore，after you set a goal，it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal，and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.

（1）With a question at the beginning of the passage，the author intends to        .
A．enhance the persuasion
B．persuade readers to accept his views
C．provide convincing evidence
D．inspire readers to reflect on the topic
（2）Brenda Martinez's example shows that         .
A．it is important to set big goals
B．failure is the mother of success
C．focusing on the process can lead to success
D．opportunity favors the prepared mind
（3）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4？
A．Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B．Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C．In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D．It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
（4）According to the author，what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process？
A．Avoiding failure during the process.
B．Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C．Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D．Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.

212665. （2025•临潼区•高二下期中）     During the last few weeks，I spent numerous hot nights standing beside or on my bed，trying to catch mosquitoes in my room.After my friend kept hearing about my nightly adventures，he showed up with a gift one morning：a mosquito net.It was huge，white and held the promise of a good night's sleep.
    I asked my father for instructions to hang it up，which he emailed in great detail—thinking I'd be able to turn the screw on which to hang the net into the ceiling.That didn't quite work out.
    Luckily，a plumber（水电工） happened to come to my house that day.After examining the net and my ceiling，he assessed it wasn't going to happen by hand. "You' ll need an electric drill." Then I showed him how I could borrow a drill on an app that lets us borrow things we need from your neighbors and received three responses from people living nearby within minutes，saying they' d happily lend out theirs.One of them turned out to be a friend whose house is only 200 meters away，and the device could be picked up at his place in the evening.
    Back at home，I started drilling but seemed to be unable to get through the ceiling.My dad got on speakerphone and listened to what it sounded like.After three minutes，he told me to stop.I might be hitting iron and the last thing I wanted to do was to mess up the drill."We' ll do it after I come back next week，" he said. "Just be patient."
    Just then I heard someone parking their car outside my house.I walked up and asked for help.To my surprise，they agreed immediately.While his girlfriend and I looked at the man in admiration，he got through the ceiling within 20 seconds.The mosquito net was finally up within a minute.

（1）How did the author get the mosquito net？
A.By receiving it as a prize.
B.By borrowing it from a neighbor.
C.By buying it from an app.
D.By getting it as a gift.
（2）Why did the author turn to the app？
A.To borrow a tool.
B.To talk to his family.
C.To borrow money.
D.To ask someone to do housework.
（3）What did the author's father suggest when realizing the drill might hit iron？
A.Continuing drilling.
B.Using a stronger drill.
C.Waiting until he came back.
D.Asking a neighbor for help.
（4）What can we learn from the author's experience？
A.Patience is the key to success.
B.Sometimes，asking for help can be more effective.
C.Tools can make a difference in solving problems.
D.It's important to wait for the right person to come.

212703. （2024•铁一中学•高二上期中）     As a boy，John Kerr wanted to be a fireman or a park ranger （护林员）.Looking back on that childhood dream，he says， "This is exactly what I was longing for."
    Instead，after graduation，he spent four decades at WGBH in Boston，one of the public broadcasting stations.He retired in 2005 at the age of 65 without any particular post-career goal in mind.After several aimless weeks，he decided to drive his camper to visit family in Jackson Hole，Wyoming.
    During the trip，he stopped at the Yellowstone Park Foundation，which raises funds for Yellowstone，America's first national park.As it happened，the foundation was hiring people to educate park guests on wolves.Later，Kerr signed up for the position as an intern （实习生）.
    Kerr stood out in the intern crowd —most of them were college and even high school students.But，in a sense，he had been prepared for this since his youth.His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love to nature，and as an adult，he had helped out at the local fire department on medical calls.
    He also had something else.There are 31 million Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 —some retired and looking for a third act，some looking for a more satisfying career —searching for something where they feel as if they are making a contribution，doing something to make their neighbourhood，their country，their world just a little bit better.Kerr also had that deep urge to do something more.
    From his internship，he moved up to ranger，educating park visitors，ensuring safe encounters between guests and animals，and responding to medical emergencies.He values his stewardship （管理工作） of what he describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth，and appreciates the moments when he treats a visitor to an up-close look at one of the park's wolves or bears through his telescope.
    "These are rich and all-too-rare moments，" recalls Kerr. "I never forget them."

（1）What do we know about John Kerr？
A.He fulfilled his childhood fantasy soon after work.
B.He knew exactly what he would do after retirement.
C.He helped greatly in raising funds for Yellowstone.
D.He joined the program in the park by accident.
（2）What made John Kerr outstanding in the internship？
A.His healthy body.
B.His advanced academic degree.
C.His previous experience.
D.His professional medical knowledge.
（3）Which words can best describe John Kerr？
A.Patient and humorous.
B.Caring and devoted.

D.Active and modest.
（4）What is Kerr's attitude towards his stewardship？
A.Worried.

201986. （2023•新城区•二模） Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots.Her ancestors navigated（航行）the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars，the sun，the currents and the wind.It's not that she does it in a canoe without technology，but rather uses the natural technology around her.It's called Way finding，and was taught to her by her father.
   "My father was my foundation，my rock."she says of her first voyage with him from Oahu to Lahaina in a traditional canoe.He taught her how to read the stars，the ocean swells and how to use them to hold the course."Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when you are Way finding.You have to look at each and determine if they are rising or setting.You know this star and the direction it represents.If you can do that，you can use it as a tool to orient（确定方向）."Kala added.
   Kala Tanaka sailed the canoe in the ocean for up to three weeks.During the day，Kala used the sun until it hit a certain height.When she got closer to land，she looked for certain species of land birds and clouds that indicated there was land below.When Kala sailed she felt"I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe.We're a family."The longer voyage required Kala to spend hours studying the day and the night skies.It was demanding physical work.But it also had its moments of awe.For Kala，the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment.So when she was not sailing，she was teaching Way finding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on.
   It's easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day，to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us.But if we will take the time to look up，to see the stars and the sun，the way the clouds move，the miracle of life beneath and above us，we will discover something deep inside us，something that will always lead to happiness.

（1）How does Kala navigate the ocean in a canoe？
A．By observing the natural elements around.

（2）What did Kala think of the three-week canoe voyage？
A．It was a heroic adventure.
B．It brought great joy to her life.
C．It was school children's favorite.
D．It represented a kind of innovation.
（3）What does the author suggest we do？

B．Explore the universe.
C．Get close to nature.
D．Keep the earth clean.
（4）What is the best title of the text？
A．Finding Our Way

212781. （2025•西安一中•高二下期中）     I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload.She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management.That question surprised me.I've never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills，mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems，believing that they limit creativity.
    It wasn't until we parted that it hit me.I don't focus on time management，but on energy management.
    Somewhere along the way，I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what's next.Or，you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day.
    I'm a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list.But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list，but intentionality about what goes on the list.If everything on the list is an energy waste，how will it feel to get those things done？
    Russ Hudson，a teacher，said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept.He spoke about the energy of frustration （懊恼），but it could be applied to any negative emotion.He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed.Hudson said， "Life force gets trapped in frustration."

    My dad and I spent the last holiday searching for her in the park nearby.Dad was the family's "realist，" which meant he spent time trying to prepare me for the worst. "She's either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone"，he said.I rolled my eyes.He could do with a little more faith!

    I insisted on stepping into the room.Suddenly，there came a familiar meow（猫叫）.I followed it and my eyes fell on a little cat with big green eyes.Skinnier than I remembered，it was Baby-Girl!My eyes welled up with tears.I opened the cage door.Baby-Girl practically jumped into my arms.

212828. （2024•师大附中•高一下期中）     On a sunny morning，I walked casually through the park，savoring the gentle breeze，with the simple desire to locate a quiet spot for a good book.Little did I know that an unexpected encounter with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience.

201634. （2025•铁一中学•六模）     As a freelance （自由职业的） writer，the structure of my workday can often vary wildly.Sometimes，it feels as if I have too much to do —other days，too little.Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5，one thing remains constant：emails.
    About a year ago，I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting （分心的） than usual.When working on my computer，I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block.Even worse，during lunch or walks，that habit of checking would come with me，making my breaks an extension of the workday.
    The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image：the more unread emails，the more I felt I was failing.By quickly responding to everyone，I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills，so I could charge my phone，read my emails and carry on the endless cycle.
    However，speed doesn't always mean quality.I was always contactable —but at what cost？I took on too much work，not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work.The content machine kept running and I was busy，producing "word salad" onto the internet.Something needed to change.After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing，I deleted the email app.
    The difference was immediately noticeable.I began to rest better.Now，my workdays remain unpredictable，but I've realised that a lack of structure needn't stop me setting boundaries （边界） for myself.Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work.Taking a few hours to respond to messages —instead of just minutes —often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly.
    I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry，but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.

（1）How did the email-checking habit affect the author？
A.It caused him mental disorder.
B.It made his breaks less relaxing.
C.It kept him extremely impatient.
D.It changed the structure of his workday.
（2）Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly？
A.He wanted to avoid long working hours.
B.He sought high pay to cover electricity bills.
C.He desired to maintain a professional image.
D.He believed multitasking ensured employment.
（3）What does the author imply by mentioning "word salad" in paragraph 4？
A.He was far from productive.
B.He valued quality over quantity.
C.His work was creative and tasteful.
D.His work lacked meaningful content.
（4）What does the author learn after deleting the email app？
A.Email senders prefer thoughtful replies.
B.Social media is more important than email.
C.Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency.
D.Freelancerould get used to a fast-paced lifestyle.
