213429. （2023•周至六中•高一下期中） "Long time no see." is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail，I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
   Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure!Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too surprised to believe her.Her words were unbelievable.So I did research on Google.com.To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see.".Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Interestingly，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
   Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies.In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens.Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol.Soon after Charlie Chan， "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
   Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together，and they change the colour and taste of each other.Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
   You can have some examples from other countries，such as pizza from Italian，sushi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list!Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way，the American's melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.

（1）What did the writer himself feel surprised at？
A．The Chinglish expression "Long time no see".
B．Finding out Americans use the expression every day.
C．So many literal translations of the expressions used in America.
D． "Long time no see." is used as a standard American English greeting.
（2）What do the underlined words "melting pot" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．A container for storage.
B．Culture mixture.
C．A kind of cooked dish.
D．American changing cultures.
（3）According to the passage，what can be inferred？
A．Detectives translated the phrase "Long time no see".
B．Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C．The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
D．Hollywood made "Long time no see." popular.
（4）What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B．The phrase "Long time no see." is widely accepted in America.

（1）﹣（4）DBDD

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。根据第二段Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too surprised to believe her.Her words were unbelievable at all（后来，我的朋友告诉我，这是标准的美国问候语。我太惊讶了，以至于没有相信她的话），可知，作者感到惊讶的是"Long time no see."竟然是标准美式英语问候语。故选D。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线词后All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together，and they change the colour and taste of each other.（在美国，各种文化混合在一起，它们改变了彼此的颜色和口味），即一些学者把美国比作一个巨大的文化混合物，故划线词意思是"文化的混合物"。A.A container for storage储存的容器；B.Culture mixture文化的混合物；C.A kind of cooked dish一种熟食；D.American changing cultures美国不断变化的文化。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens.Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol.Soon after Charlie Chan， "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.（20世纪30年代，好莱坞电影制作人成功地在大屏幕上创造了一个世界闻名的中国侦探"陈查理"。陈侦探喜欢引用孔子的话来教导美国人一些中国的智慧。"Long time no see."是他的象征。在陈查理之后不久，"Long time no see."由于这些电影的流行，在美国成为一个流行的表达），可知，是好莱坞让"Long time no see."流行了起来。故选D。
（4）主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot.All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together，and they change the colour and taste of each other.Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.（一些学者把美国比作一个巨大的大熔炉，各种文化在这个大熔炉里混合在一起，彼此改变着颜色和味道。在混合型社会中，语言通常是最先受到影响的！）结合文章以Long time no see！这句话为例，说明了美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富的社会现象。可知，文章的主旨是美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富。A.Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.一些汉语表达被引入英语；B.The phrase "Long time no see." is widely accepted in America."好久不见"这句话在美国被广泛接受；C.Some American expressions can be used in China.美国的一些表达可以用在中国；D.American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.不同的文化不断丰富着美国英语。故选D。

202264. （2022•西安三中•五模） Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fee debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles（雀斑）.Actually，there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
   In East Asia，freckles might be considered a "destructive weakness" for celebrities，especially actors or singers.Although normal people don't care that much，subconsciously they might prefer a "clean" face.Generally speaking，freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently，and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
   Having freckles，instead，is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world，and some call freckles "angel kisses".For most westerners，having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with；instead，it is something to be desired.After all，not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
   When it comes to eye shapes，it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don't see eye-to-eye.Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful.If their eyes have a double fold eyelid，that is considered perfect.However，most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows.Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country's most beautiful by foreigners，while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn't fit with traditional beauty standards.
   Young，girly feature or hot and mature feature？Zhao Liying from China，Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia，as they boast bright faces with warm smiles，which win them lots of male fans.The three young celebrities represent Asia's beauty standards：women with cute，girly features.Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly.Unlike Chinese girls，Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness.The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
   As ties continue to grow between China and the West，it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop.But one thing's for sure — no matter how you look，you are who you are，and that should be satisfaction enough.
（1）What do most western people think of having freckles？
A．It is something unbearable.
B．It is a destructive weakness.
C．It is something to wish for.
D．It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
（2）What do the underlined words "see eye-to-eye" mean in Paragraph 4？
A．Have the same opinion.
B．Recognize their strengths.
C．Misunderstand each other.
D．Argue against one another.
（3）Why do western girls prefer to appear mature？
A．They think this beauty standard is better.
B．They want to look independent and unique.
C．They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
D．They admire Wonder Woman very much.
（4）What does the text mainly talk about？
A．What Zara's beauty standard is.
B．Why Chinese people don't like freckles.
C．What causes the different beauty standards.
D．How easterners and westerners think of beauty.

213628. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期中） Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility（运动过度） which meant her joints were "bent".The condition can cause severe joint pain and lead to dislocations（脱臼）.
But rather than feel sorry for herself，she used her misfortune to inspire herself to become Britain's strongest schoolgirl.
   Just two years ago，the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn't even take part in sports.But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records.It's an amazing achievement.
   Laresce's trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success. "She has more flexibility（灵活性） in her back than most people，which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely.Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce.She has perfected the technique to lift heavy weights，" Tania said.
   "I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility.I remember coming home from school with pains in my knees，joints and hips.It would stop me doing normal things at school.The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn't sleep at all and I just couldn't face going to school like that.And after each dislocation，I had to have six months of treatment to recover，" said Laresce.
   However，since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18 months ago she is now effectively cured. "Really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my very best，" she said.
   "I've made lots of friends.It's an incredible feeling when everyone's cheering me on.It's the support of other people that makes the difference to winning.Becoming a champion was a big surprise-I just started off for fun and wasn't expecting anything.So to win six titles over just a few months was amazing."

202331. （2022•交大附中•七模） In the near future，instead of going to your wardrobe （衣柜） to choose something to throw on for your next video call，you might turn to your virtual wardrobe to pick out a 3 D digital dress to wear.At least，that's what a number of people in the fashion and tech space are relying on as more businesses look to the promise of digital fashion.Moreover，those virtual clothes won't just be for your video calls，but could eventually be worn all over the virtual world，and eventually，perhaps，viewed on your body in the real world through the Augmented Reality （AR） glasses.
   "There are more and more second worlds' where you can express yourself.But there is probably an underestimation of the value being attached to individuals who want to express themselves in a virtual world with a virtual product，through a virtual image，"a marketing officer Robert said.As the field develops，there are two ways of using digital clothes-wearing them yourself through AR and providing digital clothes for your virtual body.
   But why should we replace our physical clothes？Supporters say there's unlimited creative expression through digital clothes，which now look increasingly more elegant thanks to developments in 3 D and AR technology. "Clothing represents an expression of a personality.It always exists in the physical world，and it will exist in the virtual world，" said Simon Whitehouse，a designer.
   He explained， "From the brand side，it's incredibly profitable to sell clothes without producing physical clothes.It's reinventing an entire supply chain.There's no water usage，there's very limited CO₂ emission.There are no samples being sent out or returned.There are no show rooms，and there's no physical prototype （实物模型）."

（1）What can you probably do in the near future according to paragraph 1？
A．Open a virtual fashion clothing store.
B．Design 3 D digital clothes for yourself.
C．Buy a bigger wardrobe for your bedroom.
D．Wear virtual clothes made by digital technology.
（2）What can we infer from Simon's words in paragraph 3？
A．AR technology will bring a challenge to people.
B．One's character will be seen in the virtual world.
C．Digital clothes will be more convenient for people.
D．One's expression only can be seen in the physical world.
（3）What is Simon's attitude to digital clothing？
A．Approving.
B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear.
D．Grateful.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The increase in AR glasses.
B．The digital fashion in the future.
C．The virtual body in digital clothes.
D．AR glasses made by new technology.

202329. （2022•交大附中•七模） We live in a town with three beaches.There are two parts less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play.However，what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen- any screen- and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens，split between watching television and using the Internet.
   In the past few years，an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children，then aged five and three，were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change，and，being a London media type，appointed himself "marketing director from Nature".He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing，a film which charts the birth of the World Network，a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
   "Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference，" David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven，then being outdoors will be on habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now： "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
   Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there，and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.

（1）What is the problem with the author's children？
A．They often annoy their neighbours.
B．They are tired of doing their homework.
C．They have no friends to play with
D．They stay in front of screens for too long.
（2）How did David Bond advocate his idea？
A．By making a documentary film.
B．By organizing outdoor activities.
C．By advertising in London media.
D．By creating a network of friends.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2？
A．Records.
B．Predicts.
C．Delays.
D．Confirms.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Let Children Have Fun.
B．Young Children Need More Free Time.
C．Market Nature to Children.
D．David Bond：A Role Model for Children.

214156. （2022•关山中学•高一下期中） The pasty（馅饼）has been a recorded part of the British diet since the 13th century，at that time being enjoyed by the rich upper classes.The fillings were different and rich.It wasn't until the 17th and 18th centuries that the pasty was popular among miners and farm workers in Cornwall as a means for providing themselves with easy and tasty meals while they worked.And so the Cornish pasty was born.
   Traditionally，the pasty fillings are beef with potato，onion and swede!As meat was much more expensive in the 17th and 18th centuries，its presence was rare and so pasties traditionally included much more vegetables than today.The presence of carrot in a pasty，although common now，was the mark of a poor pasty at first.
   Filling ideas are endless however，and can be as different as your taste will take you.There is much discussion as to whether the ingredients（原料）should be mixed together first or lined up on the pastry in a special order.However，there is agreement that the meat should be cut into pieces，the vegetables sliced and none should be cooked before they are sealed （密封）within the pastry.It is this that makes the Cornish pasty different from other similar foods.
   It was such a commonly used method of eating amongst the miners that some mines had tools down the mineshafts （井筒）specifically to cook the pasties.If they were cooked in the mornings，the pastry could keep the fillings warm for 8-10 hours and，when held close to the body，keep the miners warm too.It was also common for the pasties to provide not only a main course lunch，but also a sweet or fruity dessert course.The salty filling would be cooked at one end of the pasty and the sweet course at the other end.Hopefully these ends would be marked on the outside too!

（1）What do we know about the pasty in the 13th century？
A．It was enjoyed in Cornwall only.
B．It was popular among miners and farm workers.
C．It was widely eaten by the rich upper classes.
D．It had few and simple fillings.
（2）If carrot was in a pasty in the 17th and 18th centuries，the pasty would        .
A．be more expensive
B．be sold out very soon
C．be made without other fillings
D．be seen as one of bad quality
（3）What is special about the Cornish pasty？
A．Its fillings can't be very different.
B．Its ingredientould be mixed.
C．Its ingredientould be put in the correct order.
D．Its fillingouldn't be cooked before they are sealed.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To show how to make pasties.
B．To introduce the basic information of pasties.
C．To compare different pasties.

205136. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years.In fact，pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
   In 1815，English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France，and the English were believed to be losing.A financial panic swept over London.Government bonds（债券）were offered at low prices.Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild，an English banker，was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them.A few days later，London learned the truth：the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.The value of the bonds soared （暴涨），and Rothschild became wealthy…all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.
   Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War I and World War II.Not only were the birds often the fastest，most reliable way to send messages，they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines，where radios and field telephone lines were useless.Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships，every branch of the armed services used the birds.
   Carrying messages could be a dangerous job.Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals.The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami.Stationed in France during World War I，he carried twelve important messages for American forces.On his last mission，though wounded，he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers.For his amazing service，he was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre."
   Today，modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it.However，few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history.

（1）Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by        .
A．relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons
B．predicting successfully the result of the battle
C．his experience and a good knowledge of bonds
D．his ability to tell right from wrong
（2）What does "snapping up" mean in the second paragraph？
A．Giving away.
B．Destroying.
C．Throwing out.
D．Buying.
（3）The author provides dates and numbers throughout this text in order to        .
A．avoid mixing up the readers' minds when reading for information
B．prove that carrier pigeons are more important in modern times than in the past
C．show the influence of carrier pigeons at important points in history
D．explain the causes and effects of world events
（4）What is the author's attitude towards carrier pigeons？
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.

205099. （2022•蓝田县•高二下期末） The lack of clues left behind by ancient Americans has made it difficult for researchers to determine precisely when humans first arrived on the continent.However，it has always been believed to be about 13，000 years ago.Now，evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas，Central Mexico，seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30，000 years ago.
   Dr.Ciprian Ardelean，of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas who led the groundbreaking re- search，first became aware of the cave in May 2010.Getting to the cave located 2，750 meters above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain.However，Dr.Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012，2016，and -2017.
   The archeologists' efforts revealed many artifacts including over 1，900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave.The scientists found that most of the tools were between 16，000 and 13，000 years old.However，239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30，000 years!
   While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA，the team did find evidence of sulfur，potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals.Dr.Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time.
   The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans' origins or the path they took to get to America.They guess the groups were tribes （部落）who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations.Dr.Ardelean says， "We don't know who they were，where they came from or where they went.They're a complete enigma.We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas to- day are direct descendants from the earliest Americans，but now we don't think that is the case. " Archeologist Loren Davis，from Oregon State University，is unsure that the artifacts recovered are tools.The researcher says， "If it's true that people were in Zacatecas 32，000 years ago，that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas.I'm not going to say it's impossible，but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence，it's natural for people to challenge the conclusion. "

（1）What did Dr.Ciprian Ardelean do？
A．He sold hundreds of artifacts.
B．He explored the cave four times.
C．He made the cave world-known.
D．He collected artifacts from the cave.
（2）What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America？
A．Metal elements unearthed from the cave.
B．Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave.
C．The stone tools from the cave's deepest layer.
D．The artifacts from the upper layers of the cave.
（3）What does the underlined word "enigma" in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．Problem.
B．Breakthrough.
C．Appeal.
D．Mystery.
（4）In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage？
A．Archaeology.
B．Anecdote.
C．Economy.

202245. （2022•临潼区•二模） Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else.His conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
   The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
   Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening，during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time，they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.

（1）According to the author，people make conversation to        .
A．overcome their fear of silence
B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．exchange ideas
（2）According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors       .
A．about two or three plays they have seen
B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well
（3）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B．To encourage people to join in conversations.
C．To persuade people to stop making noises.
D．To explain why people keep talking.

214441. （2019•西安中学•高一上期中） American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English．
   First of all，they sound very different．Often，Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddaya say？" instead of "What do you say？" However，the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．
   Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England． The same thing is true of some British words in America． For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries．

   There're also some differences in grammar．For example，Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say "Have you a storybook？"
   All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English．But most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．It can also happen to other languages，such as French．Many people in Canada speak French，but their French is very different from the French of France．

202187. （2022•周至县•三模） The Chinese fashion icon，qipao，was born a century ago in Shanghai.However，the dress made its way through history from the hands of old craftsmen and is deep-rooted in Chinese culture.
   "Qipao used to be so popular，" Leung Long-kong，89，a well-known qipao craftsman，says，adding that the dress was an everyday outfit among women，from the less well-off to women at the highest levels of society. "Now，nobody is wearing them except on grand and happy occasions."
   To carry on the tradition，fashion designer Mary Yu，41，who has been attending classes teaching knot button-making techniques，is trying to renew the design of qipao by taking symbols from Chinese history and literature.
   "I feel I should look into Chinese culture and learn more about the past.People should have an in-depth understanding of their culture in order to move on，" Yu says. "Fashion design requires a profound knowledge of one's culture before visualizing it."
