213687. (2023•高新一中•高二下期中) Researchers at the University of Cambridge carried out a year-long study with Design and Technology(D&T) year 9 pupils at two London schools.Pupils at one school spent the year following school lessons while the other group's D&T lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools.Creativity of both groups of pupils was assessed at the start and end of the school year using an authoritative mental test.
   Resultowed a significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention(干预) school where thinking tools were used.At the start of the year,the creativity scores of pupils at the control school were 11% higher than those at the intervention school according to data from the mental test.By the end,however,creativity scores of pupils in the intervention group were 78% higher than those in the control group.
   The research is part of a program called Designing Our Tomorrow and challenges pupils to find ways of dealing with real-world problems by thinking about the thoughts and feelings of others.The particular challenge used in the study required pupils at the intervention school to design an asthma-treatment(哮喘治疗) pack for children.Pupils were given various "tools".They were shown data on the number of asthma-related deaths of children in the UK,and a video about a child having an attack.They also explored the problem and tested their design ideas by role-playing---for example---patients,family members,and medical staff.
   Nicholl,Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education,said, "When I taught D&T,I didn't see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy - they were just people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18.Although teaching empathy(同理心) has been part of the D&T National Curriculum for over two decades,this study suggests it is still a missing link in the creative process,and vital if we want education to encourage designers and engineers of tomorrow."

(1)What can we learn about the control group?        
A.They used thinking tools.
B.They didn't take D&T lessons.
C.They followed standard courses.
D.They got higher creativity scores twice.
(2)Why do researchers give pupils various "tools"?        
A.To develop their empathy.
B.To test their creativity levels.
C.To inspire them to solve problems.
D.To help them understand asthma.
(3)What is Nicholl's attitude to current D&T teaching?        
A.Appreciative.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Unsatisfied.
(4)Which can be the best title for the text?        
A.Teaching Kids Empathy Is a Must.

(1)推理判断题。根据第一段Researchers at the University of Cambridge carried out a year﹣long study with Design and Technology(D&T) year 9 pupils at two London schools.Pupils at one school spent the year following school lessons while the other group's D&T lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools.Creativity of both groups of pupils was assessed at the start and end of the school year using an authoritative mental test.(剑桥大学的研究人员对伦敦两所学校的设计与技术(D&T)九年级学生进行了为期一年的研究。一所学校的学生花了一年时间学习学校课程,而另一组的D&T课程使用了一套工程设计思维工具。在学年开始和结束时,使用权威的心理测试对两组学生的创造力进行了评估。)和第二段Results showed a significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention(干预) school where thinking tools were used.At the start of the year,the creativity scores of pupils at the control school were 11% higher than those at the intervention school according to data from the mental test.By the end,however,creativity scores of pupils in the intervention group were 78% higher than those in the control group. (结果显示,在使用思维工具的干预学校,学生的创造力显著提高。根据心理测试的数据,年初,对照学校学生的创造力得分比干预学校高11%。然而,到最后,干预组学生的创造力得分比对照组高78%。)可知,两组学生分别为干预组(intervention group)和对照组(control group),对照组的学生们学习的是学校安排的传统课程。故选C。
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段The research is part of a program called Designing Our Tomorrow and challenges pupils to find ways of dealing with real﹣world problems by thinking about the thoughts and feelings of others.The particular challenge used in the study required pupils at the intervention school to design an asthma﹣treatment(哮喘治疗) pack for children.Pupils were given various "tools".They were shown data on the number of asthma﹣related deaths of children in the UK,and a video about a child having an attack.They also explored the problem and tested their design ideas by role﹣playing﹣﹣﹣for example﹣﹣﹣patients,family members,and medical staff. (这项研究是一项名为"设计我们的明天"的项目的一部分,它挑战学生通过思考他人的想法和感受来找到处理现实世界问题的方法。研究中使用的特殊挑战要求干预学校的学生为儿童设计哮喘治疗包。学生们得到了各种各样的"工具"。他们看到了英国儿童哮喘相关死亡人数的数据,以及一段关于一名儿童哮喘发作的视频。他们还探讨了这个问题,并通过角色扮演测试了他们的设计理念﹣﹣例如,病人、家人和医护人员。)可知,学生们被给各种各样的"工具"是为了培养孩子们的同理心。故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据最后一段Nicholl,Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education,said, "When I taught D&T,I didn't see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy ﹣ they were just people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18.Although teaching empathy(同理心) has been part of the D&T National Curriculum for over two decades,this study suggests it is still a missing link in the creative process,and vital if we want education to encourage designers and engineers of tomorrow."(设计与技术教育高级讲师尼科尔说:"当我教授D&T时,我并不认为孩子们是有一天会为经济做出贡献的潜在工程师,他们只是需要在18岁时准备好走向世界的人。尽管20多年来,同理心教学一直是D&T国家课程的一部分,但这项研究表明,它仍然是创意过程中缺失的一环,如果我们想通过教育来鼓励未来的设计师和工程师,这一点至关重要。")可知,尼科尔对D&T教学并不满意。A.Appreciative赞美的;B.Doubtful怀疑的;C.Objective客观的;D.Unsatisfied不满意的。故选D。
(4)标题归纳题。根据第二段Results showed a significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention(干预) school where thinking tools were used.At the start of the year,the creativity scores of pupils at the control school were 11% higher than those at the intervention school according to data from the mental test.By the end,however,creativity scores of pupils in the intervention group were 78% higher than those in the control group.(结果显示,在使用思维工具的干预学校,学生的创造力显著提高。根据心理测试的数据,年初,对照学校学生的创造力得分比干预学校高11%。然而,到最后,干预组学生的创造力得分比对照组高78%。)和第三段The research is part of a program called Designing Our Tomorrow and challenges pupils to find ways of dealing with real﹣world problems by thinking about the thoughts and feelings of others.(这项研究是一项名为"设计我们的明天"的项目的一部分,它挑战学生通过思考他人的想法和感受来找到处理现实世界问题的方法。)可知,这篇文章主要讲述实验表明,同理心可以提高学生的创造力。C.Empathy Improves Creativity in Pupils.(同情心能提高学生的创造力。)符合文章内容,故选C。

203900. (2024•莲湖区•高二上期末)     Landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom has designed a new green roof on the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University,about 25 miles north of central Bangkok,Thailand.Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet,whether flooding,excess(过度的) energy use,disrupted(扰乱) biodiversity or the heat island effect.
   The 236,806-square-foot structure,which opened in December 2019,includes a flood water management system and Asia's largest rooftop organic farm.It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge,creating a green and friendly environment.
    The green roof,containing an H-shaped landscape,looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it.The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces(之字形梯田)of planted beds,leading all the way down to the bottom.When rainwater hits the roof,it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds.The excess water is directed into four storage ponds-with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons.The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop.This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.
   The roof's terraces are filled with organically grown crops,including a drought tolerant variety of rice,many local vegetables and herbs.The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice,herbs and vegetables a year.The food waste is composted(把……制成堆肥) to fertilize the farm,and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants,creating an entirely localized and circular system.
    The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs,too.Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university's sustainability curriculum."Students and community members are invited to participate in seasonal seeding,harvesting,and so on,"says Voraakhom"The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills It also promotes a sense of community."

(1)What can we say about Voraakhom's work?        
A.It'ort-lived.
B.It's demanding.
C.It's creative.
D.It's time-consuming.
(2)Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzag?        
A.To store more water.
B.To slow the speed of water flow.
C.To plant diverse vegetables.
D.To make it look more attractive than other buildings.
(3)What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4?        
A.It uses food as fertilizer.
B.It benefits the environment.
C.It improves students' lifestyle.
D.It produces vegetables and fruits.
(4)What does the author want to show by mentioning the outdoor classroom?        
A.Students can learn hands-on knowledge on the farm.
B.Farmers working on the farm can become professors.
C.The farm prevents government from offering people jobs.
D.The farm harms the relationship between university and community.

212762. (2025•交大附中•高二下期中)     Vivid Sydney,known as Smart Light Sydney at first,was staged in 2009 with ordinary installations(现代雕塑装置) and limited money.Throughout the 2010s,Vivid inspired a number of smaller towns to explore the role of lighting in improving nightscapes and attracting visitors.In just a few years,Vivid has become a globally recognized celebration of light,music and ideas next to top visual festivals like the Berlin Festival of Lights.
    The highlights of this year's Vivid Sydney include Julia Gutman's animation work Echo,Sinclair Park's installations Stateless and Humanity,and Tori-Jay Mordey's Faces of Change.These works deal with global challenges like rising sea levels,the emotional struggles of humans,and the connection to nature.Additionally,the festival includes lighter attractions like the TeknoTrain and parties at a 100-year-old heritage site.
    This year,Vivid again showcases great examples of what can be achieved through the creative use of light and technology.However,its success comes with challenges.Some experts consider that the festival stresses spectacle (壮观) in a way that overshadows creative goals.Besides,a range of business-supported installations have become centerpieces of the festival.The decision has sparked a debate over the focus of what started as a cultural community event.
    When we' re thinking about Vivid's future,the environmental impact is also a key consideration.The festival's heavy use of energy is a source of disagreement.Luckily,the festival's website details actions it has taken to deliver on this front,including partly offsetting its carbon footprint,using more renewable power,encouraging public transport and going paper-free when possible.
    Along with challenges,there are also opportunities.Vivid could play a role in showcasing Australia's local wisdom.Vivid's future doesn't necessarily rely on getting bigger and brighter but on the finer points of its content.From showing Australian lifestyles to highlighting typical architecture and lighting designs,Vivid holds the possibility of reinventing itself year on year and telling stories that touch people on a deeper level.
    
(1)What can we learn about Vivid Sydney?        
A.It keeps growing in influence.
B.It was first held in a small town.

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.

204497. (2023•蓝田县•高二下期末) Fast walkers may live longer than dawdlers (缓慢的人)— regardless of their weight,a new study suggests.
    Researchers at Leicester University analyzed data on 474,919 people with an average age of 52 in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2016.They found women who walked briskly had a life expectancy of 86.7 to 87.8 years old,and men who kept up the pace had a life expectancy of 85.2 to 86.8.Slow walkers hadn't much encouraging prospects (前景):women had a life expectancy of 72.4,and men of 64.8 years old,if they were more leisurely in their movements.According to the paper,published last week,that ratio held true even if the fast walkers were severely overweight.It does not necessarily mean fast walkers will live longer.Experts say it suggests walking speed could be a simple way for doctors to judge their patients' general health alongside other tests.
   It is hardly the first study holding up walking speed as a powerful evidence that appears to improve and determine our health.
   In 2011,the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study by Stephanie Studenski,who found the same:walking speed was a reliable predictor of life expectancy.
   In 2013,US researchers found walking pace was linked to lower heart disease risk and longer life expectancy.In 2018,a study from the University of Sydney found picking up your walking pace to even an "average speed" could cut your risk of premature death by a fifth.
   And Tom Yates,the physical activity professor at Leicester who's behind the latest study,has been publishing findings on this connection for years.
   In 2017,he analyzed the same UK Biobank data and found walking speed appeared to affect the risk of dying from heart disease — concluding that the slowest walkers were twice as likely to suffer a heart-related death compared to quick walkers.

(1)What does the underlined word "briskly" in paragraph 2 probably mean?        
A.Casually.
B.Quickly.
C.Actively.
D.Energetically.
(2)What does the paper published last week show?        
A.Most fast walkers are overweight.
B.Fast walkers have a simple way of living.
C.Walking speed can help doctors know about their patients' general health.
D.Doctors will surely have better ways to cure their patients of their illness.
(3)What did US researchers find?        
A.Walking slowly is bad for people's health.
B.Walking speed can predict a person's life expectancy.
C.People won't die early by increasing their walking pace.
D.Lower heart disease risk is determined partly by walking pace.
(4)What's the best title for the text?        
A.Fast Walkers May Have a Long Life Expectancy
B.Life Expectancy Is Determined by Exercise
C.Researchers Try to Improve Life Expectancy
D.The Public Doubt Researches on Walking Speed

202785. (2020•西安中学•八模) Here are some tips from experts for writing that all-important application essay,which can often mean the difference between getting accepted - or rejected - by the school of your choice.
   The essay is your loudspeaker - your view of the world and your ambitions.It's not just a resume or a regurgitation of everything you've done.It needs to tell a story with passion,using personal,entertaining anecdotes that showcase your character,your interests,your values,your life experiences,your views of the world,your ambitions and even your sense of humor.
   Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you've helped people or made your community a better place.It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study.For example,Christopher Rim of Command Education Group,which coaches students,remembers that one student who wanted to become a dentist,set up a nonprofit and held fund-raisers to distribute toothbrushes,toothpaste and other dental products to homeleselters.Admissions staff members want to know how your presence will make the college a better place.
   Mention internships,summer courses,extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you've taken to learn and understand your field of interest.That will help show you know the field you've chosen to study and are passionate about it.
   Explain with knowledge and passion why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others.Tell why the school's size,curriculum,social atmosphere,location,professors or history influenced your choice.
   Correct spelling,grammar and punctuation are critical.Use grammar,syntax and writing with a level of sophistication that shows you're ready for college.Never use text-style abbreviations or rude or profane language.After the essay is submitted,check your email and voice mail daily to make sure you see and respond promptly to messages from admissions staff members.Many students check only texts and sometimes miss emails asking follow-up questions or requesting an interview.
   Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way: "Every college is like a dinner table.What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation?What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience?" A good essay,rich with anecdotes and personality,will answer those questions and stand out from the pile.

(1)What should be covered in an application essay?        
A.Your community,summer courses,and extracurricular activities.
B.Your passion,sense of humor and your resume.
C.Your college,views of the world,and interest.
D.Your volunteer work,internships,and lab work.
(2)What does the underlined word "anecdotes" mean?        
A.documents
B.stories
C.descriptions
D.jokes
(3)How to persuade the admissions staff members to accept you?        
A.Your life experiences are rich enough to learn the courses well.
B.You are kind to the homeless and eager to donate daily necessities.
C.Your being present at the college will make it a better one.
D.You want to study at the school due to its popularity.
(4)Which of the following is appropriate according to the author?        
A.Apply grammar and sentences which is not that simple.
B.Write the application in a style of text abbreviation.
C.Use vulgar language to show you really care.

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.

205622. (2019•蓝田县•高二下期末) Dolphins are not fish,but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups,and speak to each other in their own language.In this,they are like other animals,such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals,dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth,called the jaw.
   Strangely,dolphins seem to like man,and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
   There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand,they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area--except for The Penguin.

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.

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

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

202673. (2020•西安中学•三模) Even though vaccination(接种疫苗) is a powerful defense against disease,some voices are against it.In a recent letter,the American Medical Association(AMA) urged big social media including Amazon,Facebook and Google to take action to defend medical science on their platforms.
   It said that vaccine-preventable diseases that do harm to the public health like measles(麻疹) are on the rise.Measles cases worldwide jumped more than 30% in 2017 compared to 2016,with the largest increases seen among nations in the Americas,Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.Vaccine-preventable diseases are increasing largely because many people are unwilling to get vaccinated.And some of these people even encourage others to refuse vaccination.So this year,the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the anti-vaccination movement a top-10 health threat.
   "Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways of avoiding disease - it currently prevents 2-3 million deaths a year,and a further 15 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved," WHO said.
   A research article published in 1998 in a medical journal suggested a link between a vaccine and the development of autism(自闭症) in young children.Although the research has been suspected and many other studies have proved that vaccinations do not cause autism,the article is still impressing people strongly today.Another reason for the growth in the anti-vaccination movement is widespread misinformation on social media,which can turn people against vaccination.If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their Newsfeed that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines,it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children's physicians and public health experts and refuse to follow the recommended vaccination schedule.So access to true information about vaccine safety is badly needed.

(1)What does the AMA require social media to do on their platforms?        
A.Unite to develop new vaccines.
B.Stop vaccine misinformation.
C.Give up the anti-vaccination movement.
D.Introduce vaccine-preventable diseases.
(2)Why does the author mention the measles cases?        
A.To declare measles can be prevented.
B.To prove vaccination doesn't work well.
C.To show the result of anti-vaccination.
D.To explain the reason for avoiding vaccination.
(3)Which of the following DOESN'T play a role in the anti-vaccination movement?        
A.The costs of vaccination.
B.People's concerns over vaccine safety.
C.A research relating vaccination to autism.
D.Misinformation spread on social media platforms.
(4)What is the author's attitude towards vaccination?        
A.Doubtful
B.Ambiguous
C.Positive
D.Negative

202635. (2020•西安中学•四模) In the early days of sea travel,seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits.Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病),a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums (牙龈),livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion.On one occasion,in 1535,an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill.The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat.Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors' diet and Captain Cook,on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand,established the fact that scurvy could be prevented by the supply of fresh fruit for the sailors.
   Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing.These elements are called "vitamins".Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them,A,B,C,D,and so on.Different diseases are associated with shortages of particular vitamins.Even a slight lack of Vitamin C,for example,the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables,is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility (敏感度) to colds and influenza.
   The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet,including a variety of fruit and green vegetables.It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet,say during extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒),or when trying to lose weight,that it is necessary to make special supply to make up for the missing vitamins.

(1)Scurvy is a disease that is caused by       
A.salted meat and biscuits
B.exhaustion
C.lack of some essential substances
D.need of fresh vegetables and fruits
(2)To avoid such disease as scurvy,it's better for us       
A.not to eat much salted meat
B.to supply our diet with various vitamin pills
C.to have more fresh fruit and vegetables
D.to develop a good dietary habit
(3)Based on the passage we can safely conclude that if our diet is not comprehensive enough,       
A.vitamin pills are of no use
B.nutritious food might be unhealthy
C.vegetable leaves can be a good treatment
D.religious fasting may help out a lot
(4)Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage?       
A.Shortages of Vitamin C may cause serious diseases.
B.Fresh fruit and green vegetables contain enough nutrition that is necessary for a healthy body.
C.Vitamins play a vitally important role in people's health.
D.A good mixed diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins for us.

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

205695. (2018•西安中学•高二下期末) Summer heat can be dangerous,and heat leads to tragedy far too often.According to kidsandcars.org,an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US,when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.
   For Bishop Curry,a fifth grader from McKinney,Texas,one such incident hit close to home.A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car.After hearing about her death,Curry decided that something needed to be done.Young Curry,who turned 11 this year,has always had a knack for inventing things,and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called "Oasis."
   The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car.If it reached a certain temperature in the car,and the device sensed a child in the car seat,it would begin to circulate cool air.Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology,which would alarm the child's parents and,if there was no response from them,the police.
   Curry's father believes that the invention has potential. "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new," he said. "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster." His father even introduced the device to Toyota,where he works as an engineer.The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.
   In January,Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention.They hope to raise money to finalize the patent,build models,and find a manufacturer.Their goal was$20,000,but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over$46,000.
   Curry's father remembers the first time he saw his son's sketch. "I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution," he said. "We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions."

(1)What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?        
A.His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.
B.His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat.
C.The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car.
D.The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.
(2)What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?        
A.It would inform the parents or even the police.
B.It would pump out the hot air in the car.
C.It would sound the alarm attached to the car.
D.It would get the window open to save the child.
(3)What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention?        
A.It used some of the most advanced technology.
B.It simply combined technologies that existed.
C.It could accelerate production of new technology.
D.It is the most advanced among similar products.
(4)Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money?        
A.To conduct experiments to test the invention.
B.To get other children devoted to inventions.
C.To support a charity of medical aid for children.
D.To get the patent and bring it to production.

205668. (2018•西安中学•高一上期末) After years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s,wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations - major food sources (来源) for the wolf - grew rapidly.These animals consumed (消耗) large amounts of vegetation (植被),which reduced plant diversity (多样性) in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes,and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

(1)What is the text mainly about?       
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
(2)What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean?       
A.Tested.
B.Separated.
C.Forced out.
D.Tracked down.
(3)What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves?       
A.Damage to local ecology.
B.A drop in the park's income.
C.Protection of vegetation.
D.An increase in the diversity of animals.
(4)What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?       
A.Doubtful.
B.Positive.
C.Unfavorable.
D.Uncaring.
