202386. （2021•西安中学•十模） Twelve-year-old Lydia Denton was recently named the winner of CITGO's Fueling Education Student Challenge，where she earned ＄20，000 after creating the Beat the Heat Car Seat，which is a portable device placed in the car seat that not only senses weight over five pounds but monitors temperature when the baby is in the seat.
   The soon-to-be seventh grader saye became inspired to make the invention after watching the news that babies were being left in hot cars，often by accident. "At first，I thought about raising money for the families，but that wouldn't fix the problem：I wanted to invent something that could prevent the deaths from happening."
   Lydia's device is started when it senses the weight of the child and the temperature setting reaches over 100℉（38℃）.At that point，an alarm goes off and a warning is sent via SMS to the parents.If the parents don't reset the device within 60 seconds，a built-in GPS chip sends a message to local authorities with the vehicle's location.After many rounds of testing with her local 911，Lydia is proud to say that Beat the Heat Car Seat is a success.
   Though many newer vehicles come with warning systems and smart seat systems，Lydia's goal was to create a device that would reach more people and that could also transfer from car seat to car seat as the child grew.She decided to use her prize money to continue making improvements on the device，which would sell for only about ＄40.
   Lydia is now working with an instructor who is helping her with production and teaching her about business.Lydia hopes that her work will inspire more kids of her age to make their ideas come true. "Don't think that you have to accept things in the world.If there is something that bothers you，think of ways to make it better!"

（1）Why did Lydia make the invention？
A．To win 20，000-dollar prize.
B．To raise money for unlucky families.
C．To help stop babies dying in hot cars.
D．To guarantee babies' safety in a car crash.
（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the device？
A．How it works.
B．What it consists of.
C．Why it raises the alarm.
D．How parents respond to it.
（3）How will Lydia's future device differ from other smart seat systems？
A．It will be much stronger.
B．It will be more affordable.
C．It will be less problematic.
D．It will be more effective on older kids.
（4）What can we learn from Lydia's story？

214749. （2017•西安中学•高二上期中） You must have heard of the formula E=mc2．This is still the most famous scientific formula ever worked out．It remains an important cornerstone of science，and devising it made Albert Einstein famous．
Before he published his calculations in 1904 that showed why E=mc2，scientists around the world strongly believed that E=l/2 mc2．Today，a high school physics student can do the calculations and understand what Albert Einstein did to become famous．

205921. （2016•西北大附中•高一下期末） About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son．After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled（注册） my son in kindergarten．Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office．
In the teacher's office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions："Is your son mentally retarded（弱智的）？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？"
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？NO，no，it can't be．What a helpless，lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead．I asked him why he was asking me all these questions．
My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class．Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet？
He was angry；"Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？"
No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied．I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language．Well，wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time？"Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？"
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of"those people．"Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left．
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over．He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures．He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted，contented life．And he has benefited from being bilingual（双语的）．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places-something very basic and obviously lacking in the"educator"I met in New Jersey．

205978. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） The Chinese put up with a lot living in the world's most populous country：standing on over-crowded trains for 40 hours；sleeping outside hospitals to secure a doctor's appointment；waiting more than a year to earn a driver's license．
Add getting a U．S．entry visa to the list．Applicants here have waited as long as 60 days to secure an appointment at one of five U．S．consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas．There，they're often greeted by long lines，followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds．
Now there are only about 100 U．S．visa officers in China，facing considerable challenges during the summer when tourists and students travel the most．"It's not easy work，"Charles Bennett，minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U．S．Embassy in Beijing，said to his staff．"You're making，in some cases，life-changing decisions many times a day，and that can cause great tiredness．"
To adapt，US consular services expanded their hours，took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20 officers by spring．More facilities are also being expanded．
Despite the shocking numbers，the embassy remains troubled by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly burdensome．"I'm fed up，"said Wendy Liu，24．The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable．"I'll go anywhere but the U．S．now，"she said．"I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom．"
To visit the US，Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely they'll return to China．The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas．
Student visas can be refused on grounds of national security．Beijing native Tan Ge，25，believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application．He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University．
By its very nature，the on-the-spot process at the U．S．Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants，who are asked to take their bank statements，property deeds（房产证），marriage licenses and HUKOU，a Chinese household ID．
"It made me feel very uncomfortable，"said Xu Yong，28，a journalist who needed a business visa last month to cover a conference in New York．"They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good．"
After giving his fingerprints，Xu waited to be called for his interview，sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library．Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century．
After an hour，Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview．Two were rejected before his turn．Then the American officer，speaking fluent Chinese，reached for Xu's paperwork，asked some simple questions and said，"Congratulations．"
"I was so nervous．The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed，"Xu said．"She was the one who warned me it wasn't going to be easy．"
（1）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that in China        ．
A．you may quickly be rejected for a U．S．visa after a long wait
B．getting a U．S．visa is not as hard as getting a driver's license
C．an applicant has to wait two months to get a visa for the U．S．
D．there are more than five US consular locations stamping visas
（2）Beijing native Tan Ge was refused a U．S．visa probably because he        ．
A．had no stable income
B．was supposed to be unsafe for the U．S．
C．had too wide interests
D．had got a full scholarship in the U．S．
（3）Why does the author give a detailed description of Xu Yong's experience？
A．To show how lucky Xu is to make it to New York．
B．To reflect the problems in processing a U．S．entry visa．
C．To stress what a hard-won success it is to get a U．S．visa．
D．To persuade readers out of working or studying abroad．

206074. （2016•七十中•高二下期末） Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that，especially if people admire their pictures．But Picasso，the great Spanish painter，was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting．He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973．
   Some of Picasso's painting are rich，soft colored and beautiful．Others are ugly and cruel and strange．But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves．They force us to say to ourselves，"What does he see that makes him paint like that？"And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see．．
   Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles．Sometimes he painted the natural look of things．Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces．He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eyes see．At the age of 90，he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young．That is why people have called him"the youngest painter in the world．"

206075. （2016•七十中•高二下期末） You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride．Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it．But Lee Gray，PhD，of the University of North Carolina，US，has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport．He is known as the"Elevator Guy"．
"The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette （礼仪） is sort of odd （奇怪的），"Gray told the BBC．"They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places．"
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door．If someone else comes in，we may have to move．And here，according to Gray，lift-users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements．He told the BBC what he had observed．
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift，you can do whatever you want-it's your own little box．
If there are two of you，you go into different corners，standing diagonally （对角线地） across from each other to create distance．
When a third person enters，you will unconsciously form a triangle．And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square，with someone in every corner．A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle．
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively．Once in，for most people the rule is simple-look down，or look at your phone．
Why are we so awkward（尴尬的） in lifts？
"You don't have enough space，"Professor Babette Renneberg，a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin，told the BBC．"Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm's length of distance between us．And that's not possible in most elevators．"
In such a small，enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed （理解） as threatening or odd．"The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact，"she said．
（1）The main purpose of the article is to        ．
A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator
B．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette
C．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
D．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
（2）According to Gray，when people enter an elevator，they usually
A．turn around and greet one another
B．look around or examine their phone
C．make eye contact with those in the elevator
D．try to keep a distance from other people
（3）Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at more than two people in an elevator？         $德优题库$
A． $德优题库$
B． $德优题库$
C． $德优题库$
D． $德优题库$
（4）According to the article，people feel awkward in lifts because of        ．
A．someone's odd behaviors
B．the lack of space
C．their unfamiliarity with one another
D．their eye contact with one another．

206076. （2016•七十中•高二下期末） My mom only had one eye．She ran a small shop at a flea market．She collected little weeds and such to sell…anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment．During my elementary school，she came to my school on a field day．I threw her a hateful look and ran out．
"Your mom only has one eye？!"they taunted me the next day．
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to her，"Mom，why don't you have the other eye？!You're only going to make me a laughing stock．Why don't you just die？"My mom did not respond．
Late that night，I woke up，and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water．I saw my mom crying there，so quietly，as if she was afraid that she might wake me．I took a look at her，and then turned away．There was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart．Even so，I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye．So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful，because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty．
Then I studied really hard．I left my mother and came to Seoul and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had．Then，I got married，bought a house of my own，and then had kids，too．Now I'm living happily as a successful man．I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom．
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger，when someone unexpected came to see me．It was my mother，still with her one eye．It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me．My little girl ran away，scared of my mom's eye．
And I asked her，"Who are you？I don't know you!!"as if I tried to make that real．I screamed at her"How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!Get out of here now!!"My mother just quietly answered，"oh，I'm so sorry．I may have gotten the wrong address，"and she disappeared．Thank goodness，she didn't recognize me．I was quite relieved．I told myself that I wasn't going to care，or think about this for the rest of my life．
Then one day，a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house．After the reunion，I went down to the old shack，which I used to call a house just out of curiosity．There，I found my mother fallen on the cold ground．But I did not shed a single tear．In her hands was a letter to me：
My son，I think my life has been long enough now．And…I won't visit Seoul anymore…but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while？I miss you so much．And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion．But I decided not to go to the school…．For you…I'm sorry that I only have one eye，and I was an embarrassment for you．You see，when you were very little，you got into an accident，and lost your eye．As a mother，I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye…so I gave you mine…I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me，in my place，with that eye．I was never upset at you for anything you did．The couple times that you were angry with me，I thought to myself，'it's because he loves me．'I miss the times when you were still young around me．I miss you so much．I love you．You mean the world to me．
My World Shattered．I hated the person who only lived for me．I cried for My Mother，I didn't know of any way that will make up for my worst deeds．

205789. （2017•西北大附中•高一下期末） How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again．Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets．
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult．If a child has good parents，he is fed，looked after and loved，whatever he may do．It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return．In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known．But a child has his parents．He is not so free to do what he wishes to do；he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong．
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he can no longer expect others to pay for his food，his clothes，and his room，but has to work if he wants to live comfortably．If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry．And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may go to prison．If，however，he works hard，keeps out of trouble and has good health，he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society．

（1）According to the second paragraph，the writer thinks that        ．
A．life for a child is comparatively easy

（3）The underlined word"responsibilities"in the second paragraph means        ．

B．jobs

D．desires
（4）The main idea of the passage is        ．

214968. （2017•西安中学•高一下期中） Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy（妒忌） of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）．He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）．
The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound．There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito．But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person．Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind．He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors．
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk．Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new．Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel．At the end of an evening，during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time．They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists．

（1）According to the author，people make conversation to       ．
A．exchange ideas
B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．overcome their fear of silence
（2）By"the buzzing of a fly"（Para.1），the author means"       "．
A．the noise of an insect
B．a low whispering sound
C．meaningless talks
D．the voice of a chatterbox
（3）According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors       ．
A．about whatever they have prepared
B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To discuss why people like talking about weather．
B．To encourage people to join in conversations．
C．To persuade people to stop making noises．
D．To explain why people keep talking．
