213666. （2023•鄠邑区•高一下期中） Sometime in the early 1960s，a significant thing happened in Sydney，Australia.The city discovered its harbor.Then，one after another，Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there - broad parks，superb beaches，and a culturally diverse population.But it is the harbor that makes the city.
   Andrew Reynolds，a cheerful fellow in his early 30 s，pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living.I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.After our third run Andrew shut down the engine，and we went out separate ways - he for a lunch break，I to explore the city.
   "I'll miss these old boats." he said as we parted.
   "How do you mean？" I asked.
   "Oh，they're replacing them with catamarans.Catamarans are faster，but they're not so elegant，and they're not fun to pilot.But that's progress，I guess."
   Everywhere in Sydney these days，change and progress are the watchwords （口号），and traditions are increasingly rare.Shirley Fitzgerald，the city's official historian，told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s.Sydney swept aside much of its past，including many of its finest buildings. "Sydney is confused about itself，" she said， "We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one.It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving （解决）."
   On the other hand，being young and old at the same time has its attractions.I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony."Many people say that we lack culture in this country." he told me."What people forget is that the Italians，when they came to Australia，brought 2000 years of their culture，the Greeks some 3000 years，and the Chinese more still.We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country.It's a pretty hard combination to beat."
   He is right，but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.

214720. （2018•西安中学•高二下期中） Human beings enjoyed a double treat in January with the appearance of two supermoons．The first one rose on the night of New Year's Day．The second came on the last night of the month，topping off with a lunar eclipse（月食）．That is the end of trilogy（三部曲） of big moon treats that began on Dec.3，2017 with a full cold moon．The January.1 supermoon was the biggest of the year．The moon appeared to be oversized for a few nights after that，though it was no longer a full moon．
   A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the perigee（近地点），the closest point in the moon's orbit to the Earth，about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that appear at the apogee，the farthest point in the orbit．Supermoons，hanging around all night，are easy to see and are not damaging the eyes，no matter how long you gaze at the moon．
   For those still talking about a hangover on the night of Jan.1，an even more charming supermoon rose on the night of Jan．31．That was the second full moon of the month，which is usually called a "blue moon" because a double full--moon month occurs essentially once in a supermoon - about every two and a half years．A blue moon is even rarer when it's a supermoon．But that wasn't the only rarity that night．The super blue moon also occurred during a total lunar eclipse．Because skies were clear，the total eclipse was visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America．
   Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends，when the Earth moves between the sun and the moon，blocking the sun's light from reflecting the moon．So many people witnessed the super blood moon during the night of the lunar eclipse．To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse，watch at moonset．

（1）What can we learn about the Jan．31 supermoon from the text？
A．It was a super blue moon．
B．It began with a lunar eclipse．
C．It was observed all over the world．
D．It was the biggest moon of the year．
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly talking about？
A．The supermoon's origin．
B．The supermoon's definition．
C．The supermoon's function．
D．The supermoon's identity．
（3）Why does the moon look red during the lunar eclipse？
A．Because of the angle of the sunshine．
B．Because the sky is filled with dark clouds．
C．Because Pacific Ocean reflects the moonlight．
D．Because sunlight can't reach the moon directly．
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Double New Year Supermoons．
B．The definition of a Supermoon．
C．Supermoons with a Lunar Eclipse．
D．The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon．

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

214607. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） If you are planning on travelling，there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey．
   First of all，always check and doublecheck departure（出发） time．It is surprising how few people really do this carefully．Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten．My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50．When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed．Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting．
   The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards（信用卡），it is still important to have some local money in cash（现金）．Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed．The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead． "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily．You can image how terrible I felt at that moment．
   The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave．I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day．

（1）Where is the writer most probably from？
A．Britain
B．The USA
C．Italy
D．Greece
（2）When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver，he        ．
A．asked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake（假的）money
D．tried to pay by credit card
（3）Generally，in May the weather in London is        ．
A．warm and dry
B．cold and dry
C．hot and wet
D．cool and rainy

217962. （2023•西安中学•高三上四月） Lately，I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s，when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing，public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills .The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view，with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.
   And that was a missed opportunity because young children are remarkable listeners.They take in words，ideas and speech patterns，quite often without our awareness.Yet somewhere along the way，we teach them to stop listening.Perhaps they would benefit from lessons in selective silence，concentration，while focusing on knowing how to process all incoming information.Sadly，to the best of my knowledge，no such programs are offered.
   We seem to spend less time actually listening to one another.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as a result of exposure to television，the Internet and all manner of hand-held wireless devices.We tend to be more self-absorbed and primarily focused on hearing ourselves talk rather than listening to others.
   I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone，except my 86-year-old aunt，was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered to get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another.We could just as easily have had an online get-together.
   Listening is indeed a rare and special talent，and one that takes a lot of practice.But once you have gotten comfortable with the technique，you might find your next face-to-face talk a whole lot more meaningful.Simply listening for nuances（细微差别） in conversation will provide so much more context and substance for the words you are hearing.Remember，in order to be interesting，you must first be interested.And in conversation，you are supposed to be listening，not waiting to talk.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward the class in the 1990s？
A．Objective.
B．Tolerant.
C．Favorable.
D．Prejudiced.
（2）What might be a reason that makes us bad listeners according to the author？
A．We have less time to communicate.
B．We have a sense of self-importance.
C．The rapid development of technology.
D．The lack of care and understanding for others.
（3）What can we learn about the author's family gathering a few years ago？
A．His aunt wasn't good at listening.
B．His aunt didn't like attending family gatherings.
C．His family members were engaged in hot discussions.
D．His family memberowed little interest in one another.
（4）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？
A．To lead a discussion.
B．To give a suggestion.
C．To provide a warning.
D．To make a comparison.

217897. （2024•华清中学•高二上一月） With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
   Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（开发） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on Mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
   The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Modern American society.
B．The creation of constitution.
C．The settlement of Europeans.
D．The exploitation of resources.
（2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？
A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
（3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？
A．Making relevant laws properly.
B．Conducting more scientific researches.
C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
（4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？
A．Opinion.
B．History.
C．Technology.
D．Environment.

217803. （2024•西安一中•高一上一月） Current Culture：Is Common Culture Alive？ The digitizing（数字化） and globalizing world is changing the working of culture.As some see it，cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit：people can no longer depend on those around them valuing any of the same music or films.Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as changing forms：it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks.
    The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today，that the culture is increasingly available everywhere you want it，and whenever you want it，not just in the two months after the movie or book came out.Cultural possibilities have multiplied （倍增） as a result，but the change also means fewer cultural moments.It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society.So what will it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture？
    For the enthusiasts （热衷者） of these changes，culture is not about popular artists or books，but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia，where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas，and makes connections across boundaries （边界） .It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have participated in such websites，but in totally different corners of them，have had a cultural experience in common.In fact，these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people，who build things together，share information，and forward articles back and forth.
    There are still more questions.What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation？Is there anything to defend and preserve（维护） in the passing cultural world，or is that only to favor pen over printing press，horse over automobile（汽车）？
    Up to now a growing quantity of culture has been globally spreading and developing.More individuals than ever have the chances to be makers of culture，even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common.What it means is this strange feeling：that of being more connected than ever，with one-click（点击） access to so much of the cultural harvest around the world，and yet，of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others，concerned only with ourselves.

（1）In Paragraph 1 the author indicates        .
A.the missing of common culture
B.the cultural diversity among people
C.the disadvantage in the digitizing society
D.the double standard of cultural evaluation
（2）It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that        .
A.people feel satisfied with the current culture
B.enthusiasts look for current culture from famous artists
C.disappearance of common culture is a problem to be solved
D.common culture may exit into websites that connect the world
（3）What is the author's attitude towards current culture？
A.Uninterested.
B.favorable.
C.Uncertain.
D.Critical.

217774. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
   How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
   This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
   It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．

（1）Why does the lion tamer use a chair？
A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skills．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．
（2）In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？
A．They feel puzzled over choices．
B．They hold on to the wrong things．
C．They find it hard to make changes．
D．They have to do something for show．
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？
A．Tolerant．
B．Doubtful．
C．Respectful．
D．Supportive．
（4）When the world is "waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to       ．
A．wait for a better chance
B．break your old habits
C．make a quick decision
D．ask for clear guidance

217773. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末）     Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river．People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade．New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River．Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million．But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time．Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight．In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000．
   Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris．People went there for gold．They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers．The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming．An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path，killing 63 people．For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip．Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich．About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives．
   But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable．Necessities like food and wood were very expensive．But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found．The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come．Today，people still come and go - to see where the Canadian gold rush happened．Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City - its present population is 762．

217736. （2025•师大附中•高二下期末）     Are you a short video app user？If you are ，you will probably find yourself more familiar with 15-second sped-up snippets（加速的片段） of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms particularly Douyin and--TikTok， "Sped-up versions of tracks can help artists break through or go viral，although that initial success may not last， "a radio host said.This sped-up mode offers a faster route to the dopamine rush that social media aims to arouse，leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
    Watching everything at a sped-up pace seems like a good way to take in more content in a shorter time.However，what are the consequences？"So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing，fighting，timing and music，and speeding that all up just ruins it ， "a Reddit user commented.
    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs，not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators ：'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle（微妙的） emotions you put into the work， "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow，I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First，it's sped-up songs and movies；then gradually，it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test ， "a Chinese netizen said，Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks，I would think to myself， "How can I speed this up？"We already live in a fast-paced society，yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush？Some thingould not be sped up，like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down，control the usage of screens，and regain our patience.

（1）How does the Reddit user mentioned in the text comment on accelerating content？
A.It leads to people's addiction to social media.
B.It destroys the particular decisions of the creators.
C.It allows people to obtain more content in a shorter time.
D.It gives artists chances to break through or become popular.
（2）What is one of the results of the sped-up content？
A.Leading to a loss of patience with life.
B.Helping artists to achieve success.
C.Increasing the attractiveness of social media.
D.Allowing people to better enjoy movies and songs.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards sped-up content？
A.Critical
B.Neutral
C.Supportive
D.Indifferent
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A.To criticize people's addiction to short video apps.
B.To advocate regaining patience and concentration in creating.
C.To discuss the popularity of sped-up songs on social media.
D.To analyze the impact of sped-up content on people's patience and call for slowing down.

214609. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） When it comes to learning a foreign language，many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary．But this question never happens about their mother tongue，and yet，it was a foreign language once．However，among all the questions that new parents ask，no doctor has ever heard： "Will my baby be able to learn my language？" Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is： "no"．

   You need to learn only 2000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need．You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly．And before you consider buying into any method，be sure it is right for you．It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics（记忆群）．The first few words seem very easy to learn，so you buy the course，but then you discover quickly，though too late，that a dozen words later，it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it．

（1）From the first paragraph，we can infer that       ．
A．there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language
B．it is honest to answer "no" to a question you don't know
C．a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongue
D．people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language
（2）To learn a foreign language，the author advises you       ．
A．to remember new words appearing every day
B．to keep up with new ways of using old words
C．to learn at least 2，000 necessary words

A．supportive
B．neutral
C．opponent
D．indifferent
（4）The passage is mainly about       ．
A．using old words in a new way
B．learning new words from the context
C．finding a method to memorize vocabulary
D．learning vocabulary of a foreign language

214608. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） When an earth hit a small town，many houses fell down．After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble．
   One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me．It gave the clothing sizes of each family member．I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves．I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，Megan，and three-year-old Meghan， "We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing．We'll shall what we have with them．"
   I filled a box with foods and clothes．While I was doing this，I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things．Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their toys and games and put them together．Then she walked away．A few minutes later，she came back with Lucy，he much-loved doll．She put the doll on top of the other toys． "Oh，dear，" I said． "You don't have to give Lucy．You love her so much．" Meghan said， "Lucy makes me happy，Mummy．Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too．"

214516. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） On average，American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school，eight hours more that they did in 1981．They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet （芭蕾舞）．Involvement in sports，in particular，rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997：boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports；girls log half that time．All in all，however，children's leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%
   "Children are affected by the same time crunch （危机） that affects their parents，" says Sandra Hofferth，who headed the recent study of children's timetable．A chief reason，she says，is that more mothers are working outside the home．（Nevertheless，children in both double-income and "male breadwinner" households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively．In contrast，children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers．）
   All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids． "Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself，" says T．Berry Brazelton，professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured（unorganized）play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to handle their relationships with their peers，but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it．
   The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time" watching television．But that，believe it or not，was one of the findings parents might regard as good news．If they're spending less time in front of the TV set，however，kids aren't replacing it with reading．Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books，the children spent just over an hour a week reading．Let's face it，who's got the time？

（1）By mentioning "the same time crunch"（Line 1，Para．2）Sandra Hofferth means       ．
A．children have little time to play with their parents
B．both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
C．children are not taken good care of by their working parents
D．both parents and children have trouble managing their time
（2）According to the author a child develops better if       ．
A．he has plenty of time reading and studying
B．he has more time participating in school activities
C．he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D．he is free to interact with his working parents
（3）We can infer from the passage that       ．
A．extracurricular activities（after-class activities） promote children's intelligence
B．most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C．efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D．most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children

214534. （2020•西安一中•高二下期中） Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese，as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites．The first，a World Natural Heritage，is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries（候鸟保护地）along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng，East China's Jiangsu Province．The second，the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou，East China's Zhejiang Province，was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site．
   China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017．It only took two years to successfully complete the process．The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area．It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world．The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea．The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species，especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos，go there to hunt for food during the migration season．The birds usually take a month to finish their migration．At about 10 days into their migration，they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey．
   Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application，the Liangzhu application was far more complicated．The application team spent six years making their dream a reality．A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site，which means the application and assessment（评定）process takes a longer time．The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China，which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago．The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China．
   With these two new additions，China now has 55 World Heritage sites，the highest number in the world．The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations（义务）．Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work．The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns．Meanwhile，the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers，some 14.3 square kilometers，makes protection a difficult issue to handle．Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure．Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts，so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation．

（1）What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries？
A．It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea．
B．It provides safe habitats for endangered species．
C．It's located along the coast of the Yellow River．
D．It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds．
（2）According to Paragraph 2，how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds？
A．By creating warm places to produce baby birds．
B．By preventing them from being killed by hunters．
C．By providing food supplies during their migration．
D．By curing the endangered birds after their journey．
（3）Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site？
A．It shows the long history of China．
B．It proves the wisdom of the people．
C．It witnesses the civilization of an age．
D．It reveals the food of the late Neolithic．
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly talking about？
A．The application success's promotion of tourism．
B．Chinese responsibilities after the successful application．
C．The two places' influence on Chinese history．
D．Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration．

214515. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） I didn't know how to say no，and was afraid to tell people what I wanted．Instead，I got myself tangled （纠结的） in a web of obligations，anxiety，and white lies．
   The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing．I thought I knew how to say "no"-but couldn't remember the last time I had．Like a lot of people，I just wanted to be accepted，appreciated，loved-and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own．
I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do．I'd like to learn Spanish，write more fiction，and travel．These aren't huge，unrealistic goals．And yet，my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires．
   But recently，I decided I'd had enough．As an experiment，I began standing up for myself，even at the risk of alienating （使疏远） myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me．Several days ago，a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p．m．I was planning to hit the gym and then binge-watch Mad Men for the millionth time．I said， "Sorry，I've got things I want to do tonight．" She said， "That's fine．Maybe another time．" It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry．
   Saying "no" is so much easier．If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in，I'm polite but honest． "I'm sorry，I don't think that's really for me．" The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses．
   Learning how to say "no" has added several extra hours to my days，days to my weeks，and what feels like months to my years．I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search，or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know．Saying "no" has set me free．

（1）Why was the author afraid of saying "no"？
A．She didn't want to tell lies．
B．She wanted to make more friends．
C．She wanted to please every one．
D．She was always willing to help others．
（2）What was the bad point of being afraid of saying "no"？
A．She alienated many friends．
B．She was kept busy all day long．
C．She felt depressed now and then．
D．She had no time for her own hobbies．
（3）What was her friend's reaction when she said "no" to her？
A．Natural．
B．Painful．
C．Angry．
D．Disappointed．
（4）How did the author feel after she had learnt to say "no"？
A．Lonely．
B．Relaxed．
C．Confident．
D．Lost．
