月食三部曲

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

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

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

201671. （2024•师大附中•八模） The most welcome sight on cold，wet winter night in London is the familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching with its yellow "for hire" sign shining brightly.That shows it is ready to pick you up.Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way of going from one place to another.It is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered.
   The main reason for this is the drivers，who are called "cabbies".Many of them are true Cockneys.This means they were born in the heart of London and speak their own special dialect（方言）of English.All of them know every street and famous building in the city，and all of them love to talk.A simple twenty-minute Journey across town can become very interesting.You may have a discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver's Aunty Nellie!One thing is for sure，it will never be boring.Cabbies know all the latest news about film stars，the Royal Family，government leaders，and popular singers or actors and actresses.They also know the best places to eat，shop and relax.And they can take you straight to any large hotel，department store，theatre or museum.They know the shortest way possible without even looking at a map，because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order to get a license to drive a taxi.The exam is called "The Knowledge." It is a written test，and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to another.They must take into account the time of day-in-rush hour，longer route（路线）may be quicker-and describe the best way.Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets!

201758. （2024•西安中学•三模） When you think of a map，is north on the top or the bottom？Usually，maps are designed with north on top，though when we think about it，there s no logical reason for this bias.After all，there is no up or down in space.So what's wrong with south，east or west being on the top of the map？The answer is：nothing at all.In fact，north-up maps only became the norm in the last few hundred years.
   Ancient Egyptian maps had south at the top because the Nile River flows downhill from mountains in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north.Mecca was to the south of most early Muslim civilizations，and south-up maps were designed so that viewers would look up to see Mecca.Medieval Christian maps had east at the top，as they believed the Garden of Eden was in the east.The only early maps that had north at the top were those of early China because the emperor lived in the north.
   North seems to have settled at the top of maps during the 16th century，largely thanks to a Flemish mapmaker，Mercator.Mercator was a great admirer of an early Greek mapmaker，who，for reasons now unknown，put north at the top of maps，so Mercator did，too.When Mercator's world map became the standard map to navigate the oceans，north up became standard as well.
   What is the implication of this north-view of the world？Psychologically，people tend to think of up as good and down as bad.Just think of words and phrases like "upmarket"，"upbeat" and "moving up in the world"，and how they contrast with their opposites.Because north is so consistently put at the top of maps，people now think of north as good，too.
   Several attempts have been made in recent years by introducing south-up maps to the market.These maps not only give us a chance to see the world differently，but also give everyone the chance to see themselves on top.

（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs？
A．North-up maps were rare in ancient times.
B．Deciding up or down in space is ridiculous.
C．Mecca maps were based on a legend.
D．The south-up map first appeared in ancient Egypt.
（2）Why is north associated with good？
A．An illogical reason.
B．The spread of Mercator's maps.
C．People's preference for up.
D．An age-old tradition in Greece.
（3）What is the authors attitude to south-up maps？
A．Cautious.
B．Supportive.
C．Uncaring.
D．Disapproving.
（4）What's the main purpose of the text？
A．To explain a phenomenon.
B．To compare various facts.
C．To correct a cultural bias.
D．To argue for a viewpoint.

202283. （2022•西工大附中•七模） In the town of Arras in northern France，the country's first-ever appointed official with Down syndromes is leading from the front，changing hearts and minds and bringing a new way of thinking about mental disability.
   In 2020，Eleonore Laloux was appointed municipal councilor（市议员）of Arras under the mayor Frederic Leturque，for which she has received continual praise for her colorful nature，her desire to make people smile，and for promoting the inclusivity（包容）of disabled persons in society.
   "Inclusion isn't something that we just think about；it's not a generous act.It's our duty，" Mayor Leturque told the Christian Science Monitor， "Eleonore has helped the entire town progress in terms of how we see disability."
   Along with holding down a part-time job at a hospital，a packed volunteer schedule，and a board position on Down Up，a non-profit organization her father launched to support community members with Down syndromes and their families，Laloux has made numerous adjustments to everyday community features in Arras to support disabled people；not only those with Down syndromes，but other forms as well.
   Arras' famous town center，town hall，and belfry（钟楼）are a UNESCO Heritage Site，and for those who can't go to the top，Laloux organized the creation of a virtual tour.Down below，crosswalk lights now sound off verbal instructions for those who can't see.She has also scheduled an "incluthon" for next summer，an event to inspire disabled people and the community at large through sports and culture.
   Perhaps unsurprisingly，this positive attitude has made her a very popular figure in her town and country，and she has made numerous television and other public appearances，including alongside many national politicians.But her appointment is by no means a gimmick to gain support from townspeople；she's made some brilliant changes in civil life.

（1）What can we learn from the mayor's words in Paragraph 3？
A．It's Eleonore's duty to help the disabled.
B．Accepting the disabled is a generous act.
C．Eleonore has changed people's views on the disabled.
D．The disabled deserve praise from all the townspeople.
（2）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．How Eleonore carries out her part-time job.
B．How Eleonore helped improve lives of the disabled.
C．What Eleonore did to run the non-profit organization.
D．What good proposals Eleonore made during her term.
（3）What does the underlined word "gimmick" in the last paragraph mean？
A．Trick
B．Promise
C．Challenges
D．Conclusion
（4）Which of the following words best describe Eleonore？
A．Committed and pioneering.
B．Ambitious and patient.
C．Creative and independent.
D．Honest and humorous.

202521. （2021•西安中学•二模） Plants：we eat them，juice them - and now it seems we can mine them too!
   After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo，the botany professor Alan Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining （harvesting minerals from plants） as a better，partial substitute for traditional mining.
   Phytomining，also known as agromining，means collecting metals from live plants.However，this can only be done with a group of plants known as "hyperaccumulators".There are around 700 identified types worldwide，and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they naturally attract and absorb minerals through their roots - metals poisonous to other plants - and then store huge，pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies.The metals can then be extracted from the plants' sap（汁；液），oil，or sometimes even live tissue.
   Baker and his colleagues see a lot of potential in phytomining.Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals，but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining.
   One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area.Phytomining can extract metal waste，plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations.Aside from this，if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining，then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines，which pollute the nearby waters.Also，since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure，there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore（矿石）.
   Phytomining has its drawbacks.Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today，compared to traditional mining.Besides，plants can be wiped out by diseases or unexpected weather conditions.
   However，there are many reasons to consider phytomining.After all，we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesn't mean sacrificing Mother Earth.

（1）What makes hyperaccumulators different from other plants？
A．The sap poisonous to other plants.
B．The ability to take in and store minerals.
C．The oil extracted from live plant tissue.
D．The concentrations of mineral in their bodies.
（2）What is the advantage of phytomining？
A．It can stop deforestation.
B．It may reduce the deserted mines.
C．It uses clean energy to purify the ore.
D．It can't be destroyed by diseases.
（3）What is the author's attitude toward phytomining？
A．Pessimistic.
B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic.
D．Skeptical.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Metals From Plants
B．The Future of Phytomining
C．What Are Hyperaccumulators？
D．Benefits of Phytomining

202558. （2021•长安区•一模） Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow.But new research provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.
   The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica.In the sediment，they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old.This would have been in the Cretaceous Period，when dinosaurs were the main land animals.The sediment was removed by scientists on the research icebreaker RV Polarstern in the Amundsen Sea near Pine Island Glacier.
   Johann Klages is a geologist with the Alfred Wegener Institute，Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Germany.He was the lead writer of a study on the findings，published in the journal Nature.He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor.Klages said an examination showed that the material didn't form in the ocean.
   The researchers estimate that the area-about 900 kilometers from the South Pole-had average yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius.During the warmest summer months，average temperatures likely reached between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay，as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants，the study found.Klages added that the plants included trees，ferns and flowering plants.While no animal remains were found，Klages said there were likely dinosaurs，flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
   The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth has experienced in the past - and is currently undergoing today.The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet's warmest period of the past 140 million years，with sea level about 170 meters higher than today.The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year，the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time，but seasonal snowfall was likely.

（1）How did the researchers reach their findings？
A．By exploring ice in Antarctica.
B．By analyzing the Earth sediment.
C．By collecting data on climate.
D．By researching special plants.
（2）What did the researchers say about the sediment？
A．Its material developed in the ocean.
B．It dates back to cold times in Antarctica.
C．Its material formed on the land.
D．It contained different animal remains.
（3）What does the author indicate in the last paragraph？
A．Antarctica's natural environment has changed greatly.
B．Polar nights in Antarctica are getting shorter than before.
C．There were ice sheets 140 million years ago.
D．Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．Researchers study the secrets of Antarctica.
B．Antarctica had a different history of climate.
C．There's various wildlife in Antarctica.
D．Antarctica has an extreme environment containing ice and snow.

204203. （2023•长安区一中•高一上期末） A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
   More than 2，000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild.The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice，the primary habitat（栖息地）of polar bears.As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf，more bears are remaining on land to look for food.
   Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik，but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s.More bears seemed to stay on land，and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies.U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s.As more attention was given to the plight（困境）of polar bears about a decade ago，more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
   The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011，said Jennifer Reed，of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors，many from around the world each year，" Reed said.Most tourists visit in the fall，when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore.Bruce Inglangasak，a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours，said he's been offering polar bear tours since 2004.Most of his clients（客户）are from China and Europe，as well as from the lower 48 U.S.states.Many tourists stay several days in the village，which has two small hotels.The villagers have benefited a lot from that.In turn，they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.

（1）What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik？
A．Food shortage.
B．Climate change.
C．Habitats' movement to shore.
D．Their preference for land.
（2）How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land？
A．Excited.
B．Puzzled.
C．Concerned.
D．Shocked.
（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.
B．Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.
C．Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.
D．Tourism affects the balance of nature.
（4）Which saying can describe the text？

Mount Kilimanjaro
   Mount Kilimanjaro，a dormant（休眠的）volcano，is the highest mountain in Africa.Its summit is 5，895 meters above sea level.Located in Tanzania，it is the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world，meaning it is not part of a mountain range.Kilimanjaro is made up of three volcanoes：Kibo，Mawenzi，and Shira.Kibo is the summit of the mountain and the tallest of the three volcanic formations.While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct，Kibo is dormant and could possibly erupt again.
   Mount Everest
   Mount Everest is the highest mountain in Asia and the highest mountain in the world.Its summit is 8，848.86 meters above sea level.It is located in the Himalaya Mountain Range on the border of Nepal and China.The Chinese name is Chomolungma，which means "Mother Goddess of the World".The Nepali name is Sagarmatha，which has various meanings.
   Denali
   Denali is the highest mountain in North America.Its summit is 6，193 meters above sea level.It is located in the USA，in the state of Alaska. "Denali" comes from Koyukon，a traditional native Alaskan language，and means "the tall one".This name had been used for many generations and was used by early non-native researchers and naturalists.But in 1896，William A.Dickey，a prospector（探矿者），began calling Denali "Mount McKinley"，in honor of William McKinley，a presidential candidate at the time.

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

（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？
A．Sydney's striking architecture.
B．The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C．The key to Sydney's development.
D．Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s.
（2）What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds？
A．He goes to work by boat.
B．He looks forward to a new life.
C．He pilots catamarans well.
D．He is attached to the old ferries.
（3）What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney？
A．It is losing its traditions.
B．It should speed up its progress.
C．It should expand its population.
D．It is becoming more international.
（4）Which statement will the author probably agree with？
A．A city can be young and old at the same time.
B．A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C．Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D．Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

214109. （2021•长安区一中•高二上期中） If Mars were the popular kid in school，Venus（金星）would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner，largely ignored.Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth，but being closer to the sun，it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
   However，instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth's，Venus's surface and atmosphere are unbearable：clouds of sulphuric acid（硫酸）blanket the planet，while at ground level，it is hot enough to melt lead.Despite this，there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life.
   Jane Greaves at Cardiff University，UK，and her colleagues recently detected phosphine（磷化氢）in Venus's atmosphere，with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology.That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes（微生物）.Though this doesn't mean it was produced by life on Venus，attempts to find non-biological explanations for its presence have so far failed.
    Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look.While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary exploration efforts lately，the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light.As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted： "It's time to prioritize Venus."
   In the months and years to come，computer simulations will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus.More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced.However，there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus.A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus.By doing so，we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
   The discovery of phosphine in Venus's atmosphere is a great accomplishment.The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world.Possibly，the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.

（1）Which description about Venus is not true？
A．It has a warmer Earth-like climate.
B．It has nearly the same mass as Earth.
C．It is almost as large as Earth.
D．It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.
（2）What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus indicate？
A．This kind of gas is very common.
B．There might exist signs of life.
C．Many products can be made with it.
D．Experiments were once conducted there.
（3）What is paragraph 5 mainly about？
A．The necessity to analyse phosphine.
B．The importance of observations.
C．The power of computer simulations.
D．The approaches to exploring phosphine.
（4）Which can best describe the author's attitude to the exploration of Venus？
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Cautious.
D．Casual.
