214214. （2022•鄠邑区•高二下期中） Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
   Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
   Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says，According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking，although fewer than running，which would probably burn about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
   However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
   As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.

（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.

（1）C.细节理解题。根据第二段But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.（但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。）由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。
（2）D.细节理解题。根据最后一段As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers（结果，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。）由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。
（3）A.细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr.Norberg说的话In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique（事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。）可知，Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。
（4）B.观点态度题。根据第一段Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.（，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。）由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。A.Skeptical怀疑的；B.Objective客观的；C.Tolerant容忍的；D.Conservative保守的。故选B项。

202805. （2020•西安中学•三模） We often hear such statements： "I spilled （洒出） juice，but it wasn't my fault．"， "I got in trouble at school，but it wasn't my fault．" or "I was in a car accident，but it wasn't my fault．" That "It's not my fault．" is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers．
   Parents complain they are tired of the "excuse"．The reason why variations of "It's not my fault．" are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame．I'm a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can't control．Teens who often say "It's my fault．" when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical，perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression．
   While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself，many teens over-rely on "It's not my fault．" When trying to get them to take responsibility，parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault．The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle．No one wins．A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase．
   Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives．This sense has been shown to cause low motivation．Besides creating feelings of lack of ability，overuse of "It's not my fault．" focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done．
   People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway．The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake．One can certainly stay in water，yelling， "It's not my fault．" However，that won't get him out of water．He needs to swim to the shore，regardless of the fault．
   If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens，you can help them avoid over-reliance on "It's not my fault．"

（1）What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1？
A．The teenagers' dislike for school life．
B．The common trouble faced by teenagers．
C．The reasons for blaming others for accidents．
D．The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life．
（2）What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text？
A．Those lacking confidence and ambition．
B．Those allowing others to find excuses．
C．Those unable to get along well with others．
D．Those often blaming themselves for some incidents．
（3）What's the author's attitude to parents' usual way of guiding children？
A．Supportive．
B．Negative．
C．Ambiguous．
D．Neutral．
（4）What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author？
A．We should try to avoid troubling others．
B．We should focus on how to solve problems．
C．We should dare to point out others' mistakes．
D．We should be self-critical as much as possible．

212913. （2024•周至四中•高二下期中） In today's difficult economic time，it's natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad．Does the benefit outweigh the cost？The answer，in fact，is yes，when you look at the road ahead．
   When the economy becomes more challenged，competition for the workforce increases，and employers look for employees with the best credentials（资力）．Having an overseas degree - from a university where strong English skills are required - can make all the difference．The added expertise of a foreign degree，along with more cultural experience，can make you more qualified for many jobs．
   A 50-year study of 3，400 studentows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person's life and continues to impact the participant's life for years after the experience．
   82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path．70% stated that it ignited（点燃）an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience．
   And the effect on one's career can be equally strong．A study by the Queensland，Australia government showed：
   61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume．72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee．
   Still，there's the question of how to pay for studying overseas．But the cost doesn't have to be as high as you think．Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs．And，there are plenty of ways to further offset（抵消）the cost - through financial tips，advice and grants（补助金）．

（1）The second study shows that studying abroad       ．
A．helps one to get a job
B．affects one's whole life

205369. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept？How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping？Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer "yes" to these questions to launch his own startup （新兴公司），Stashbee．His business links people with space to those who need it．
   And it's just one player in the booming "sharing economy"，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spaces．Airbnb，a company valued at 200 bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-term．DogVacay pairs holiday making pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by 2017．
   All their business models revolve around one simple word：trust．So，how does Stashbee measure up？BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himself．He had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two months．All relatively smooth and painless．
   Heavyweights （行业巨头） in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，aren't convinced．A representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with "amateurs"．He considered 24/7（全天候） access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service．
   Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers we've been taught since childhood．They aren't alone．Companies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudes．
   And the concept of social storage doesn't stop there．CityStasher believe there's a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of time．
   Would you try it out？It's a question of trust．

（1）The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the text to        ．
A．expect readers to answer them
B．carry out a survey among readers
C．start a conversation among readers
D．draw readers attention to the topic
（2）How does Dougal Shaw try out Stashbee's business？
A．Experiencing in person．
B．Doing a survey online．
C．Analyzing some data．
D．Exchanging his belongings．
（3）What does the traditional storage industry value most？
A．Trust．
B．Security．
C．Cost．

205313. （2021•新城区•高一下期末） Major cities across the country，from Washington D.C.to Los Angeles，are heating up.The downtown parts of Phoenix can be up to 15 degrees warmer at night than its suburb（郊区）.During the day，the street can reach over 160 degrees，hot enough to cook an egg.Unsurprisingly，walking across such a hot street to get to work，school，and do your daily work takes its toll on your health.
   Local governments have turned to planting trees to help stop rising temperatures in city areas.These tree planting efforts are usually announced with much showing off but are not as simple as planting a few trees and calling it a day.There's typically this sort of blind faith that trees will provide all of wonderful social benefits.But the environmental benefits that trees provide depend entirely on context.Tree planting plans may not lead to the cooling joy we desire in city areas.
   While tees，theoretically，are a "green" solution to unbearable summer city weather，in practice，many problems arise，namely keeping track of just how many trees have already found their roots and convincing land owners to keep planting trees along their personal property（私产）.In some cases，cities are already doing a good enough job that they are running out of space，like in Washington，D.C.where they are currently at 38 percent canopy （树冠）coverage but are hoping to raise coverage up to 40 percent.But the biggest problem is that public area alone isn't enough for new trees in Washington D.C，as well as in cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles，and now，citizens will have to plant trees on personal property to help reach their canopy coverage goals.In many cases，that means landowners need to take care of those trees since they technically don't belong to the city itself.
   At the end of the day，trees are a good starting point，but we still have so much to learn about how well they work to cool down our hottest cities.

（1）What does the underlined word "toll" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Cost.
B．Turn.
C．Time.
D．Place.
（2）What is the author's attitude to planting trees to cool cities？
A．Unconcerned.
B．Dissatisfied.
C．Supportive.
D．Confident.
（3）What is the biggest problem of planting trees in cities？
A．Skills of planting trees.
B．Space for planting trees.
C．The high canopy coverage.
D．The unsure tree ownership.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Heating Cities in the United States
B．A "Green" Solution to Climate Change
C．A Typical Blind Faith in Planting Trees
D．Problems of the Measure to Cool Hot Cities

202730. （2020•西安中学•六模） Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available．While they sound efficient and cost-saving，a recent study reports that they are not effective，primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them．
   The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy （CBT） and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor．
   Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression，helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors．However，online CBT programs have been gaining popularity，with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer．
   A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England．The patients were split into three groups：one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care I from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs．Participants were balanced across the three groups for age，sex，educational background，severity and duration of depression，and use of antidepressants．
   After four months，the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors．
   "It's an important，cautionary note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists，" says Christopher Dowrick，a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool． "We do still need the human touch or the human interaction，particularly when people are depressed．"
   Being depressed can mean feeling "lost in your own small，negative，dark world，" Dowrick says．Having a person，instead of a computer，reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation． "When you're emotionally vulnerable，you're even more in need of a caring human being，" he says．

（1）What does the recent study say about online CBT programs？
A．Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure．
B．Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer．
C．They can save patients trouble visiting physicians．
D．They have been well received by a lot of patients．
（2）What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular？
A．Their effectiveness in combating depression．
B．The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy．
C．Their easy and inexpensive access by patients．
D．The recommendation by primary care doctors．
（3）What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs？
A．They should not be neglected in primary care．
B．Their effectivenesould not be overestimated．
C．They should be used by strictly following instructions．
D．Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists．
（4）What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person？
A．A positive state of mind．
B．Appropriate medication．
C．Timely encouragement．
D．Human interaction．

204810. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Calming.
B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

205387. （2020•西安中学•高三上期末） Many Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air，especially when it reaches critical pollution levels，but one local entrepreneur decided that canning（灌装） and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea．Believe it or not，he was right．
   After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France，Canada or Australia and selling it in China，Dominic Johnson-Hill，a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop，decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad．
   "I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia，so I thought it was time to push business the other way，" the entrepreneur said． "They're perfect gifts!What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing？A roast duck？A Plastered T-shirt？These cans are light，portable，you can just imagine someone' s face when they unwrap （打开） it for Christmas．"
   The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents： "a unique mix of nitrogen，oxygen and some other stuff"．The ironic （讽刺的） souvenirs cost 28 RMB （US ＄4）and are available at the Plastered 8 shop，as well as on its online shop．But if you're actually considering buying some，you'd better ask shop in advance，as they are virtually flying off the shelves．Johnson-Hill said that hiop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day．
   Personally，the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions．Yet one thing that' s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing，as the cans are labeled as "Made in Shenzhen"．There's a big chance that's just a kind of Plastered 8 humor，as they also list "Choking Hazard" and "May have unidentified objects inside．" as warnings．
   Anyway，it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment．

（1）What contributes to Dominic's idea of canning and selling the poor quality air？
A．Try to get used to it．
B．Sell it all over the world．
C．Can it as a souvenir．
D．Try to push business the other way．
（2）How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas？
A．Satisfied．
B．Surprised．
C．Frightened．
D．Refreshed．
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stuff" in Paragraph 4？
A．liquids
B．objects
C．minerals
D．risks
（4）What can we infer from the passage？
A．There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air．
B．The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour．
C．People should make efforts to protect the environment．
D．Dominic Johnson-Hill likes the poor quality air in Beijing．

203149. （2016•西安中学•一模） When Geoff Marcy was 14，his parents bought him a telescope．Every night，he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky．
   "What excited me most was whether there were planets in other solar systems where life might exist，" he says． "I decided to try to find planets orbiting （沿…轨道运行） other stars like our Sun．"
   And he did． "My fellow researcher，Paul Butler，and I found our first planet in 1995，" Dr．Marcy says． "We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it，and our patience paid off． "
   Since then，the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars．Dr．Marcy and Dr．Butler also spotted the first "family" of three planets．In June 2002 they announced another discovery：a Jupiter-like （像木星一样的） planet orbiting star 55 Cancri．
    At first，the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars．Recently，the scientists found planets farther out．The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough：it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun．
   Why is this important？Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features in our solar system．The first is Jupiter．
   "Because it's so big，Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids （小行星），or they all come and hit the Earth．" Dr．Marcy explains． "Without Jupiter，life on Earth would likely have been destroyed．"
   A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water，which is necessary for life，can exist．Unlike gas planets，rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas，which may support life．A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri．Is there an Earth-like planet in the space，too small for us to notice？If so，says Dr．Marcy， "We would have two striking similarities to our solar system：a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet．And there may be life! "

（1）What can we learn about Dr．Marcy from the passage？
A．He is fond of watching Jupiter．
B．He is from a scientist family．
C．He dislikes working with Paul Butler．
D．He is interested in finding life in outer space．
（2）Which of the following is true of the recent discovery？
A．The planet is not as protective as Jupiter．
B．The planet is close to star 55 Cancri．
C．The planet proves to be a gas planet．
D．The planet is as large as Jupiter．
（3）Dr．Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because        ．
A．he has found the system similar to the solar system
B．he has discovered an Earth-like planet there
C．he has discovered a rocky planet there
D．he has found signs of life in the system
（4）"But we stuck with it" （in Paragraph 3）means        ．
A．they felt discouraged
B．they carried on with it
C．they failed in their attempt
D．they made some progress

203170. （2016•西安中学•四模） It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence．There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words．For example，we can say to a child"Don't run into traffic!"or"Stay on the footpath close to me．"In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel confident in a wide range of situations，because they know what to do，and aren't scaring themselves about what not to do．
   Actually，it is all in the way the human mind works．What we think，we automatically rehearse（预演）．For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldn't be able to do it．When a child is told"Don't fall off the tree，"he will think of two things："don't"and"fall off the tree"．That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind．A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off．So it is far better to use"Hold on to the tree carefully"．
   Clear，positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things．Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words．So parentould make their commands positive．"Sam，hold on firm to the side of the boat"is much more useful than"Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？"or worse still"How do you think I'll feel if you drown？"The changes are small but difference is obvious．
   Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words，so it pays to be positive．

（1）Positive choice of words helps kids to       ．
A．build up their confidence
B．learn in different situations
C．improve their imagination
D．do things carefully
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2？
A．A child will act on what is instructed．
B．One can't help imagining what is heard．
C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to．
D．One won't think of a blue monkey when given money．
（3）Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe？
A．How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt？
B．Don't play by the lake．
C．Fasten your seat belt．
D．Don't you dare to walk through the red light？
（4）The main idea of the passage is that       ．
A．praise makes kids confident
B．right instructions keep kids safe
C．clear commands make kids different
D．positive instructions guide kids

203208. （2016•西安中学•二模） This is a great truth，one of the greatest truths．It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth，we transcend （超越） it．Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult．Because once it is accepted，the fact that life is difficult no longer matters．
Most do not fully see this truth．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families，their class，or even their nation．
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems，depending on their nature，cause us sadness，or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said，"Those things that hurt，instruct．"It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems．
（1）From the passage，it can be inferred that        ．

203322. （2016•西工大附中•七模） The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby．Almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother．During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk．After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on"mother"-the real mother or the mother-substitute．
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby．The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes-one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire．If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother．However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites．Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother．
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？Something that the Harlows called contact comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is．Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can．Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body．Wire doesn't"rub"as well as does soft cloth．Prolonged （长时间的）"contact comfort"with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust．If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be．It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball．If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life．After a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure．It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well．Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its"mother．"

weeks of its life？

205023. （2022•莲湖区•高一下期末） China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning，setting a new national record，from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.
   A modified （改进的） version of China's Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off （发射升空） at 11：06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated （指定的） orbits.
   The satellites，built by seven institutes and private companies，have individual tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data，environmental monitoring，forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
   "You can call it a shared rocket' if you want，" said Xiao Yun，the commander in chief for the launch. "We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that.If there are many satellites to launch，we use a big rocket.If only a few to launch，we have smaller rockets."
   Today's launch marks the 409th mission of China's Long March rocket series.
   Long March-8 has been redesigned and this is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket，which is designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology （CALT） aiming at commercial launches.The first mission launched in late 2020.
   It's clearly noticeable in the launch video that the new rocket lacks the two boosters（助推器）found on its predecessor （上一代），which means the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX's Falcon 9.
   Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
   "The Long March-8 can launch 3 tonnes of satellites into low Earth orbit （LEO） or medium Earth orbit，" said Wu Yitian，deputy chief designer of the rocket. "Such rockets are urgently needed by the market，especially to launch Earth observation satellites."
   A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.

（1）What does the underlined word "deploying" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Placing.
B．Applying.
C．Lifting.
D．Linking.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A．SpaceX's Falcon 9 is equipped with two boosters.
B．Reusable design of rockets has a promising future.
C．The 22 small satellites launched have a common task.
D．LEO missions have adopted the Long March-8 as its main type.
（3）Why is Long March-8 called a "shared rocket" ？
A．One or two rockets are shared per year.
B．Satelliteare the same commercial tasks.
C．Satellites launched into space share one rocket.
D．Rocket launches have been shared among institutes.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Reusable Design has been A Trend in Rocket Making Industry.
B．Shared Rockets have Achieved Remarkable Success in the Market.
C．China Successfully Launches Multi-functional Satellites into Space.
D．China Sends 22 Satellites into Orbit with Redesigned Long March-8.

203112. （2016•师大附中•十模） In my early 30s，I used an expired（过期的） student ID to buy discounted movie tickets．I'd tell myself，I'm buying a ticket I wouldn't have otherwise bought．I think many people have done similar things；however，we still think of ourselves as honest citizens．Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn't the real reason．We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets，but not in others．
Years ago，Francesca Gino，a professor at Harvard，and Dan Ariely，a behavioural economist at Duke，wondered if people with highter IQs were more likely to cheat．They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty，but creativity was．The more creative you are，the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly．
Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribe that we may be born without having a clear sense of right and wrong，but our culture sharpens it．If your tribe downloads pirated（盗版）music，you're likely to go with the flow．
Harvard researcher Leslie John，along with two colleagues conducted an experiment．They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test．Guess what happened？That group，which considered itself disadvantaged，cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment．
The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time．Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes．Keep yourself fed and well-rested-we're likelier to behave badly when hungry or tied．Reflect on how your actions look through others' eyes and see yourselves in a positive light．In a Stanford study，when researchers uesed the verb cheat-please don't cheat-participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced （疏远）from the act．When the noun was used-don't be a cheater-hardly anyone did．
（1）According to Francesca Gino，who are likeliest to break the rules in a company？
A．Accountants．
B．Designers
C．Cleaners．
D．Typists．
（2）Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others？
A．Because they were not as smart as others．
B．Because they thought others cheated too．
C．Because they felt a sense of unfairness．
D．Because they were tired and hungry．
（3）The underlined word"antidotes"in the last paragraph can be replaced by        ．

A．explanations．

B．solutions

C．studies

D．novels．

（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．Why people break the rules．
B．How people break the rules．
C．The influence of breaking the rules．
D．Different ways of breaking the rules．

203359. （2016•西工大附中•八模） So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies，spiders，and even small frogs．What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally （in special environments） in every state．In fact，they're found on every continent except Antarctica．
You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap．It's often sold in museum gift stores，department stores，and even supermarkets．A small plant，it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container．At the end of its stalks （茎） are specially modified leaves that act like traps．Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger （触发） hairs．When an insect lands on them，the trap suddenly shuts．Over the course of a week or so，the plant feeds on its catch．
The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants，says Barry Meyers-Rice，the editor of the International Carnivorous（食肉的）Plant Society's Newsletter．Note：Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read，no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans．
Dr．Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating，only if it does all four of the following："attract，kill，digest，and absorb"some form of insects，including flies，butterflies，and moths．Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well，most of the time．
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis （光合作用）．Plants use the sugar to make food．What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves．They need insects for one reason：nitrogen （氮）．Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way．While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil，"meat-eating"plants can't．They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity．So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals．In fact，nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants．Never fertilize them!But don't worry，either，if they never seem to catch any insects．They can survive，but they'll grow very slowly．
（1）According to the passage，carnivorous plants        ．
A．only grow in wild field
B．cannot grow on Antarctica
C．are as common as flies
D．are rare to see
（2）Venus' flytrap preys on insects by        ．
A．its numerous long and thin stalks
B．a container where it grows
C．the lining of tiny trigger hairs
D．its insect-catching leaves
（3）We can conclude from the third paragraph that        ．
A．carnivorous plants are dangerous
B．carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
C．carnivorous plants occasionally eat books
D．carnivorous plants are fictional
（4）In the eyes of the author，which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil．
B．Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil．
C．Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects．
D．Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil．
