贵族化的

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

213945. （2021•西安中学•高二上期中） A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently.So what is Versailles literature？
   Actually，the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature.It came from The Rose of Versailles，a Japanese manga series about aristocratic（贵族化的）life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century，and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year.Known as humblebragging，it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. "I have too many houses.How can I decide which one to decorate？" and "I thought I lost weight this morning.So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night" are some examples of Versailles literature.The intention is to show off - usually things of materialistic values，yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.
   As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote， "Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）." The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time，according to scholars.In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging？published in Psychology Today，psychologist Dr.Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a "strategy in pursuit of respect" because it draws attention to one's accomplishments in a circuitous way.
   However，studies on social media userow that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.In the essay Humblebragging：A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy，the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. "The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity.People don't like braggers，but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers，" said Francesca Gino.
   So，how can we annoy humblebraggers back？ "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off，" a netizen advised. "And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints."

（1）Which of the following statements is typical of "Versailles literature"？
A．You know who my father is？My father is Li Gang
B．Got five offers to date.I'm at a loss which to choose
C．It's a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly
D．I'm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around
（2）What is the psychology behind humblebragging？
A．To win others' sympathy.
B．To earn others' admiration.
C．To show his/her sincerity.
D．To mask his / her complaint.
（3）What does the underlined world "circuitous" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．indirect
B．straightforward
C．ambiguous
D．double-edged
（4）What can't be inferred from the passage？
A．Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B．Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C．To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D．If you want to be perceived positively，avoid using Versailles literature.

（1）B.推理判断题。根据第二段中"Known as humblebragging，it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. "I have too many houses.How can I decide which one to decorate？" and "I thought I lost weight this morning.So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night" are some examples of Versailles literature.The intention is to show off ﹣﹣﹣ usually things of materialistic（物质的） values，yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.（这被称为谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸。"我的房子太多了。我怎么决定要装饰哪一个呢？ "和"我想今天早上我瘦了。当我意识到是因为我把昨晚男朋友送给我的巨大钻石戒指摘下来的时候，我非常失望。"其目的是炫耀﹣﹣﹣﹣通常是一些物质的东西，但人们假装这不是重点。）"可知，"凡尔赛文学"是指谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸，其目的是炫耀﹣﹣﹣﹣通常是一些物质价值的东西。由此推知D项"有五个人排着队想和我约会，我都不知道约哪个好"是典型的"凡尔赛文学"。故选B。
（2）B.细节理解题。根据第三段中"The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time，according to scholars.（根据学者们的研究，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了在获得成功的同时得到别人的认可和喜欢。）"可知，谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了赢得别人的钦佩。故选B。
（3）A.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文" humblebragging is a "strategy in pursuit of respect" because it draws attention to one's achievements in a（谦逊是一种"追求尊重的策略"，因为它以....的方式吸引人们对自己成就的关注。）"可知，谦虚自夸是用自谦的方式来吹牛。结合上文说它是一种"伪装成抱怨的自夸"推知，这是一种间接表达优越感的方式。划线词circuitous的意思是"间接，迂回"。A.Roundabout迂回的；B.Straightforward简单的；C.Ambiguous模棱两可的；D.Double﹣edged双刃剑，有利有弊。故选A。
（4）D.推理判断题。根据第四段中"People don't like braggers，but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers，（人们不喜欢吹牛的人，但至少他们觉得这些人比谦虚自夸者更真诚。）"可知，A项"吹牛的人要比谦虚自夸者更真诚"可推出；第三段中""Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）." （没有什么比谦虚的外表更容易骗人的了。）"可知B选项"谦虚自夸是一种假装谦虚的表现"可推出；以及最后一段"So，how can we annoy humblebraggers back？ "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off，" a netizen advised. "And respond with sincere sympathy for their complaints."（那么，我们该如何回应这些谦虚的吹牛者呢？一位网友建议道："不管他们炫耀什么，你都假装不懂。并对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情。"）可知C项 "用真正的同情来回应会让谦虚的吹牛者泄气"可推出；故D项If you want to be perceived positively，avoid using Versailles literature.（如果你想被正面地看待，试着使用凡尔赛文学）从文中无法推出。故选D。

204705. （2022•西安中学•高一下期末） New Year's Day is meant for food.As the new year arrives around the world，there could be special cakes and breads，for example，long noodles representing long life，field peas representing coins，and pigs representing good luck.The particulars vary，but the general theme is the same：Enjoy food and drink to bring in a year of prosperity.Here are some of the New Year's food traditions around the world.
   Hoppin' John，American South

204575. （2023•鄠邑区•高二上期末） Chinese people love food made of flour，whether it be dumplings，or flatbread.In the hands of skilled artisans（手艺人），flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with，which brings a unique kind of pleasure.This art form is called dough figurine（面塑）.Among the various art styles of dough figurines，Beijing's Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art，which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city；Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing.In 2008，it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
   It was created by Lang Shao'an.Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends，historical stories，and local operas.The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick，or on a table for display.Some are mostly for children to eat or play with，with simple forms and vivid decorations，while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only.For this reason，during the making process，they are often mixed with additives（添加剂）to prevent them from breaking up，being eaten by insects or growing moldy.Over the course of his long career，Lang Shao'an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
   Lang Jiaziyu，born in 1995，is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang.When he was 15，he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised.He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans.In his skilled hands，pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup，are resonating with young people.
   Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China，Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public.Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money，which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft.Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.

（1）What is special about Dough Figurine Lang？
A．It reflects Beijing's culture.
B．It is created by many famous artists.

204516. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高一下期末） There is something to be said for being a generalist（通才），even if you are a specialist（专家）Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole，well-lived life.
   Society pushes us to specialize，to become experts.This requires commitment（投入）to a particular occupation，branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field.You may pursue training，degrees，or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
   Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night，then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends，or traveled to exciting places，meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion（排除）of others can hold back your true spirit.
   Generalists，on the other hand，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability，talent.and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective（视角）into specific fields of expertise（专长）.The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
   Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but，once you explore their depths，you discover that they are.My editor Toni，who is also a writer，has edited several history books.
   She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden.City as a painter，she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy."I don't know where it will lead，but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit."
   These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life，of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad，general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.

204392. （2023•铁一中学•高二下期末） It's become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends，but if schoolchildren were in their parents' shoes，the majority wouldn't share posts of their sons and daughters online.Over 55% said they would not upload news about，or images of，their children to their social media feeds，according to survey of over 16，000 pupils by Votes for Schools.
   While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely，others expressed concern about their personal data being compromised.One of the pupils surveyed said， "Although our parents mean well，sometimes the consequence of a post can be disastrous."
   In response to the survey，children's mental health charity Place2 Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays - the best period for parental oversharing.
   In one video，about safety online，10-year-old Adavan said， "If you share anything with your family，you know who's going to see it.But if you share it publicly，there are millions of people who can see your picture."
   Joe Hancock，a security lead at Mishcon de Reya，encouraged parents to share wisely. "Simple steps，such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings，are a good start.And，as we found out from the children during filming，having their permission is key，" he said.
   The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.Sandra Davis，head of the law firm's family department，said， "Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting （晒娃）- the full extent of which we cannot know yet.We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintended consequences further down the line."

（1）What's most pupils' attitude towardaring posts about children？
A．Skeptical.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Tolerant.
D．Unwilling.
（2）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？
A．Summarize the previous paragraph.
B．Provide some advice for parents.
C．Predict the consequence of sharing posts.
D．Give reasons for the result of the survey.
（3）What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock？
A．Safety.
B．Consequence.
C．Wisdom.
D．Health.
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．Parentould take children's opinions into account.

204241. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） As Valentine's Day approaches，many people with dogs will not care one bit whether they get a card.A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five said they were so attached to their pet because 'dogs don't let you down' in the same way that other people might.
   Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year，describing her pet as 'the best date a girl can have'.Comedian Miranda Hart and racing driver Lewis Hamilton have gone on holiday with their dogs，and actor Ryan Gosling has taken his cross-breed George，who he describes as 'the great love of my life'，to chat shows for moral support.
   This could be due to the numerous benefits that come with dog ownership—from the psychological to the physical.Dogs help their owners unwind，whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air，or with a cuddle（依偎） on a sofa.They can also be great listeners，help their owners release stress，and can play a part in improving their health and fitness.
   Nevertheless，for those dog owners who are still looking for love，the research suggests their pet might help.More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date with their dog appearing best for attracting a potential partner.Among those responding to the survey，21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
   Mr.Lambert said，"This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker，when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other，and that we tend to have more associations about people who love dogs."
   People who owned a pet dog were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.

（1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．Summarizing the previous paragraph.
B．Providing some advice for the pet owners.
C．Introducing some celebrities to the readers.
D．Giving some examples to support the view above.
（2）What does the underlined word "unwind" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Focus.
B．Relax.
C．Recover.
D．Participate.
（3）Why is dating out with a pet dog more appealing？
A．It comforts the strangers.
B．It is the best friend of mankind.
C．It is a bridge between the parties.
D．It makes the conversation romantic.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the company of a pet dog？
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Reserved.
D．Disapproving.

204223. （2023•长安区一中•高二下期末） One major issue in contemporary medical science is the use of humans in clinical trials of medical products.These trials occur frequently to determine the best way to manage diseases.
   People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug，or new surgical procedure，in a number of countries at the one time.For example，up to a quarter of patients in some fields like breast cancer may be engaged.Other projects，one of which is to determine whether scanning techniques can detect Alzheimer's disease，are under way.They may be given the drug or；placebo（安慰剂），or the best existing treatment，and results compared.The trials may be"blind"wit the patient not knowing which group they are in or they may be a"double-blind"with the doctors knowing either.
   Actually，so many people offer themselves willingly.Patients take the views that at least they will get special attention from the doctor if they participate and they may get access to new drugs before they become available in chemists'shops.In some countries people are paid to participate，especially i poorer countries where they may be told little of what is actually happening.
   Yet there are significant risks too.One US study estimated that one in 30 people suffered silk effects from such trials，and one in 10，000 dies.Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trust itself，where patients are closely monitored，but comes when the drug is released on the market place For example，in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug，when it was found that after 18 months d use，the risk of heart attack and stroke increased.
   People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits Even if the individual has adverse outcomes and their condition worsens，that is valuable information for the drug company.While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials，government has set up medical committees to handle the issue.

（1）What is the main idea of the second paragraph？
A．The purpose of medical trial.
B．The procedure of medical trial.
C．The groups of medical trial.
D．The result of medical trial.
（2）Why does the author mention the example in the fourth paragraph？
A．To tell us a lot of patients die from the medical trials.
B．To show the risk of heart attack and stroke has increased.
C．To introduce the risks of the medical trials are not so great.
D．To explain the risks of some drugs appear when they are sold.
（3）What does the underlined word"adverse"in the last paragraph mean？
A．negative
B．effective
C．subjective
D．impressive
（4）What would the author most probably discuss next？
A．How the government prevents clinical trials.
B．How the government gathers the information.
C．How the medical committees pay for the hospital trials.
D．How the medical committees solve the problem.

204184. （2023•长安区一中•高一下期末） If you've ever had a dog，you know just how deep a connection you can develop with "man's best friend".But a dog's life is much shorter than humans，about 12 to 15 years long，which means every dog owner has to go through the heart-breaking moment when their loving pet passes away.
   Why not make a clone of that dog then？This is the solution offered by a South Korean company，Sooam Biotech Research Foundation.The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs，mostly for US customers，ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005.Now，Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well，offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.
   To clone a dog，researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.Meanwhile，another dog is selected to supply an egg.Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb（子宫）of a female dog.The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months.The whole process takes less than a day，but it comes at a shockingly high price — around ￡63，000.But if you can't afford it now，you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date.
   However，magical as cloning might sound，there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one.Just like identical twins of humans，they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them."The spots on a Dalmatian （斑点狗） clone will be different，for example." Insung Hwang，head of Sooam Biotech，told The Guardian.
   Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not "cloneable".Apart from genes，personality is also determined by upbringing and environment，which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome，Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University，UK，told The Telegraph.
   Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood，a dog owner himself，pointed out，"An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go."

（1）What service does Sooam Biotech Research Foundation offer？
A．Making copies of pet dogs.
B．Giving pet dogs identical twins.
C．Helping dogs give birth to more puppies.
D．Helping dog owners love their dogs more.
（2）Which order is correct in the dog cloning process？
a.An egg is taken from another dog.
b.A skin cell is taken from the pet dog.
c.The egg grows into a puppy in two months.
d.The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog.
e.The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell.
A．a→d→b→e→c
B．a→e→b→d→c
C．b→a→d→e→c

204147. （2023•周至四中•高一下期末） When people think of Beijing，the hutong style always comes to mind.It is no exaggeration（夸张） to say within hutong lives the city's history.

204042. （2023•西安中学•高一下期末） Due to climate change and changes in land use，wildfires are predicted to rise by up to 14 percent by 2030，30 percent by 2050 and 50 percent by the end of this century，and even areas once considered safe from major fires such as the Arctic，will "very likely" experience a major increase in burning，according to a new report by the UN Environment Programme （UNEP）.
    The report，Spreading like Wildfire：The Rising Threat of Extraordinary Landscape Fires，says that wildfires and climate change are "mutually exacerbating." Wildfires are made more serious by climate change through increased drought，high air temperatures，low humidity，lightning，and strong winds.Meanwhile，climate change is made worse by wildfires，mostly by ravaging sensitive and carbon-rich ecosystems like rainforests.
    Wildfires can threaten people's health and lives，contaminate water，destroy crops an reduce land available to grow food.Costs of rebuilding after areas are struck by wildfires can be beyond the means of low-income countries.Wildlife，as well as natural habitats，is also rarely spared.All these slow progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
    While the situation "is certainly extreme，it not yet hopeless." The publication calls on governments to adopt a new "Fire Ready Formula，" with two-thirds of spending devoted to planning，prevention，preparedness，and recovery，with one-third left for response.Currently，direct responses to wildfires typically receive over half of related expenditures，while planning and prevention receive less than one percent. "We have to minimize the risk of extreme wildfires by being better prepared：invest more in fire risk reduction and shift from passive response to prevention and preparedness，" said Inger Andersen，UNEP Executive Director.
    Setting up data and science-based monitoring systems，strengthening regional and international cooperation，restoring ecosystems and thinning forests around areas where nature and human living spaces meet are just a few suggested examples of investments into prevention，preparedness and recovery.

（1）Why does the author speak of the Arctic？
A．To introduce the climate change of it.
B．To stress the importance of protecting it.

A．Wildfire control.
B．Rebuilding costs.
C．The possible damage.
D．The slowing progress.
（3）Which might be an example of investments into prevention and preparedness？
A．Surrounding busy towns with thick forests.
B．Restoring wetlands as well as wildlife species.
C．Investing more money in putting out wildfires.
D．Fitting cameras to monitor the spread of wildfires.
（4）What can we learn from the report？
A．Wildfires and climate change worsen each other.

202577. （2021•长安区•二模） The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany.They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state.The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.
   A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains.Team in Germany and France cooperated on the project，which was supported by the German government.The new train model，called the Coradia iLint，signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel（柴油） trains.
   The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.
   It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power.If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time，it can store the extra energy in batteries.The only emissions （排放物） are water and steam.
   A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1，000 kilometers.This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.
   Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build.But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower.The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.
   The head of railroad operations in the area，Carmen Schwab，praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen.She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.
   Officials say the area's many wind turbines （涡轮机）will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.
   Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems.France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.

（1）Why did Germany build the new trains？
A．To make traveling much easier.
B．To carry more passengers.
