215320. （2015•七十中•高一上期中） When someone says，"Well，I guess I'll have to go to face the music，"it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert．It is something far less pleasant，like being called by your boss to explain why you did this or did that，and why you did not do this or do that．Terrible music，indeed，but it has to be faced．At some time or another，everyone of us has had to"face the music"，especially as children．We can remember father's angry voice："I want to talk to you!"And only because we did not obey him．What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase"face the music"is known to every American，old and young．It is at least one hundred years old．Where did the expression come from？
The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper．He said，in 1851，that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings（舞台两侧）to go on stage．After they got their clue to go on，they often said，"It's time to go to face the music．"And that is exactly what they did-face the orchestra （乐队） which was just below the stage．
An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience （观众） that might be friendly，or perhaps unfriendly，especially if he forgot his lines．But he had to go out．If he did not，there would be no play．So"face the music"came to mean：having to go through something，no matter how unpleasant the experience might be，because you knew you had no choice．

（1）The underlined phrase"face the music"means        ．
A．plan to go to a concert
B．get one's clue to do something
C．have to go through something far less pleasant
D．disobey what one's father says
（2）The passage tells us that the expression was first used by        ．
A．children
B．novelists
C．actors
D．audience
（3）Which of the following is NOT true？
A．The expression came from James Fenimore Cooper，an American novelist．
B．The expression has a history of more than 100 years．
C．If someone doesn't obey his boss，he will have to"face the music"．
D．Almost everyone has an unpleasant experience that he has had to face the music．

205187. （2021•西安中学•高二上期末） The small unframed painting called "Fishman" was signed by a little-known Italian artist，Maveleone （1669-1740）.When it was sold recently in New York for ＄27，000，the seller，Mr.Oliver Pitt，was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.Pitt said， "I didn't know it was so valuable.I'm not an art expert.Photography is my hobby.I bought 'Fisherman' in Italy in 1970 for ＄140.The picture was dirty，and I could see the artist's signature.But anyway，it wasn't the picture that I liked.I bought it because of the frame.
   "It's a most unusual frame，made of tiny，silver sea-shells.They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture.I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame，and I'll never part with it.
   "When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer.I told him that I had paid ＄140 for it but admitted I didn't know its actual worth.The customs man valued it at ＄140，and I was asked to pay duty on that value.I did so，there and then.
   "Later，I took off the frame，and that uncovered Maveleone's signature.My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one；so I cleaned it and put it up for sale."
   As a result of this explanation，Oliver Pitt had to appear in court.He was accused of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
   Pitt was not happy， "I told the truth as I knew then，" he said. "What else could I say？"
   And then the judge agreed with him. "The Customs Department is responsible，" he said， "for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country，so that the correct amount of duty may be charged.Mr.Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made.He paid the duty that was demanded.If，now，the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct，it cannot be allowed to have another try.Pitt is not guilty."

203263. （2016•西工大附中•六模） Grant Wood's American Gothic caused a stir（轰动）in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars．Newspapers across the country carried the story，and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame．
In 1930，Grant Wood，an American painter with European training，noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon．Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house．In the painting，the farmer is modeled on his dentist．Dr．Byron McKeeby．His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman （imagined to be the farmer's wife or daughter）．Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork （干草叉） symbolizing hard labor．Each element was painted separately；the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house．The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting's title．
American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art．The painting has become part of American popular culture．Some believe that Wood used it to satirize（讽刺） the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture．The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire．American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol，along with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa．

203340. （2016•西工大附中•九模） William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865．His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family．Later，Yeatocked his family by saying that he remembered"little of childhood but its pain"．In fact，he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama and poetry．
   Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning．He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
   Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility（情感） to them．As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition．
  He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life．Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75．After Yeats's death in 1939，W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the falling liners：
Earth，receive an honored guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest．
Let the Irish vessel （船） lie
Emptied of its poetry．

（1）Which of the following can describe Yeats's family？
A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter．
B．It waocked by Yeats's choice．
C．It was a typically wealthy family．
D．It had an artistic atmosphere．
（2）According to these passage，what do we know about Yeats's life？
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater
B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry．
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s．
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize．
（3）What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H．Auden's lines？
A．Envy．
B．Sympathy．
C．Emptiness．
D．Admiration．
（4）What is the passage mainly about？
A．Yeats's literary achievements．
B．Yeats's historical influence．

205861. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed"，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student．Better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it．
   All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，finally，the most telling "interpretation（解释）" of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once．
   Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on films，is obviously a special reward．But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading or，best of all，reciting（背诵）it．
   I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than "analyzing" it，if there isn't time for both．I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry．Poetry is "a criticism of life"，and "a heightening（提升）of life"，It is "an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it "can save your life"．It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies．
   I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry．Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else．But those，who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it．

（1）What is the better way to have a better understanding of a poem？
A．Discussing it with others．
B．Practising reading it aloud．
C．Hearing the poet read out．
D．Analyzing it by oneself．
（2）According to the author，one of the purposes of teaching English is getting students       ．
A．to like poetry
B．to criticize life
C．to enjoy life
D．to teach poetry
（3）The underlined word "make room" probably means       ．

B．to provide equipment
C．to learn a certain amount of time
D．to set aside enough space

    After reciting heartfelt poems，experiences and stories，the young poets nervously waited for the judges' scores.The students had traveled from around the country to participate in the four-day festival，which took place from July 17 to 20.

"I started writing poetry when I was 12，which was a very transitional period for me，" Adriana explained. "I was trying to figure out who I was and how I fitted in.That translated to processing my emotions through poetry.For a while，I was just writing.But then I saw a poem video.It made me realize I could do something new with my words.With some improvisation （即兴表演） and skill，I got on the team four years ago.I've been on it ever since."

205155. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） From classic books like A Wrinkle in Time to classic movies like Back to the Future，children and adults both have been fascinated by the concept of time travel for hundreds of years.But is it even possible？
   Time travel sounds simple：you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between different points in space.You could jump forward into the future，or you can jump back to sometime in the past.
   Exactly how would this be done？Most artistic works that feature time travel finish it with the help of a special device usually called a time machine.The time machine features whatever technology has been developed to transport people successfully to other points in time.
   But could time travel really happen？Some scientists believe that parts of Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity might allow for the possibility of time travel.These theories are complex and very hard to understand.They involve unusual astronomical things like black holes and wormholes.Traveling faster than the speed of light might also be required.
   It can be fun，though，to think about what problems might be presented by time travel.It may create an absurd situation.For example，let's say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met.What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple （连锁反应） in time that led to them not meeting？If they had never met，you would never have been born.If you had never been born，how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused？Though it may sound confusing，we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.

（1）What kind of film is Back to the Future most likely to be？
A．An action film.
B．A fantasy film.
C．A historical film.
D．A romantic film.
（2）What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 2？
A．Add a topic.
B．Give an example.
C．Explain a concept.
D．Make a conclusion.
（3）What is some scientists' judgment on the possibility of time travel based on？
A．Previous similar cases.
B．Accurate scientific research.
C．Some scientific theories.
D．Advanced space technology.
（4）What does the author think of time travel？
A．It will certainly come true one day.
B．It is an possible and absurd idea.
C．It will change some historical events.
D．It may cause confusion with time and space.

205292. （2021•阎良区•高二下期末） There are many different types of poems.
   Many people have heard about haiku.In fact，most of us are taught at one point or another usually in elementary school or high school to write one of our very own.Actually，haiku is a form of poetry made up of three non-rhyming lines.They often express feelings and thoughts about nature；however，you could write a poem about any subject you like in this form.
   One of the poetic favorites is pastoral （田园的）poetry because it means wonderful senses of peace and harmony.Examples of this form include Keats's Ode on a Grecian Um.Like the haiku，nature is often at the center of this type of poem as well.In general，pastoral poetry will focus on describing a rural （乡村的）place，but the terms will be peaceful.You feel at ease after reading this type of poem.Many pastoral poems are written about shepherds.
   Are you familiar with the term "ballad" ？Probably you are，because people sometimes refer to songs-particularly romantic ones- as ballads.In fact，ballad poems are frequently sung or at least they are intended to be sung，and they are often about love.Often，these ballads will tell stories and they tend to be of a mystical nature.
   A limerick is a poem that is often silly or funny，written in five lines with AABBA rhyme （押韵）.Often，a limerick tells a short，humorous story.This type of poem has been popular for hundreds of years，particularly in the English language.When limericks first became popular，they often expressed ideas that were dirty，but today limericks express all sorts of ideas.

   Though the rabbit had appeared in previouort films for two years，this classical scene in the Warner Brothers cartoon short "A Wild Hare" introduced the version of the rabbit that would become the cultural figure of Bugs Bunny.In the decades since，Bugs has appeared in over 150 films.He has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.And he was the first cartoon character to get his face on a postage stamp.TV Guide ranked him Number One on a list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters.
   Bugs was unlike Disney's Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.They came with their own set of physical characteristics but with little personality.Bugs was defined by his wiseacre（自作聪明）attitude and funny tricks.He rocketed to fame because he was character driven，rather than practical joke driven.And while every director put his own imagination on Bugs Bunny，they all agreed on one thing that Bugs was never to be small minded.They wanted him to be a nice person，but not a person who is easy to persuade or influence.
   For the directors and audiences alike，Bugs was more than just a cartoon character.Directors' attitude was that Bugs already existed and they were just writing about him.One of them would come home in the evening and say to his wife，"You won't believe what Bugs Bunny said today!" For so many years till now in 2021，Bugs Bunny doesn't change.He remains the lovable character that only plays tricks on those who deserve it most.

213114. （2023•蓝田县•高二上期中）     I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiastic reader，sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties，I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
    My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
    As I grew older and became a mother，the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source（来源） of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library，where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
    I always read，using different voices，as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
    Now，I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
    As a novelist，I've found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven（避风港） for readers and writers，a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries，in their own way，help fight book piracy（盗版行为） and I think all writerould support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

（1）Which word best describes the author?s relationship with books as a child？

212829. （2024•师大附中•高一下期中）     English history is vast，from its rule under the Romans to the rise，heights and fall of the British Empire.When choosing a book to recommend on my country's history，I wanted something that could summarize this sweeping history but didn't get stuck in the details of things that hold me back from completely engaging with this truly rich history.Then，I found Dominic Hnynes' A Brief History of England.
    The book is a tour through the whole of English history，from its earliest people to the movement of settlers from Europe.It looks at the Battle of Hastings in 1066，Elizabeth I's ruling and the lasting impact of Shakespeare.Then it touches on the English Civil Wars and the shift of rule from kings and queens to the parliament（议会） running the country and the establishment of the political parties.It also covers the Napoleonic Wars and the world wars and even considers England's post-Brexit （脱欧后的） present and future.
    This really is quite the sweeping book.However，it's very short.This means it's easy to navigate and get a hold of a huge amount of history，but it also means it's very light on the details.At times，this can be upset，as there are parts where it feels like just another paragraph or page would really elevate this book.But for an introduction to English history or perhaps a reminder or refresher，it's great and particularly useful as it is likely to fill in some gaps in your knowledge.
    Furthermore，because of the pace of the book，there's not a boring moment.It's a real page-turner，covering the succession（交替） of kings and queens，wars，and changes in the social order of the country at home and the country's influence across the world.
    One reviewer on Amazon described the book as "a small masterpiece"，and said. "This is a great book for anyone who wants to get a c-ash course in English history or for those who want a quick reference to that subject."
    So，jump in，dear readers，and get a hold of what made England what it was，what it went on to be，and where it may stand in our global future.

（1）What is the main focus of Dominic Haynes' A Brief History of England？
A．Detailed exploration of England's political parties.
B．In-depth analysis of England's post-Brexit policies.
C．An introduction to the British Empire's rise and fall.
D．A brief overview of England's historical shifts and events.
（2）What is a weakness mentioned of the reviewer regarding the book？
A．Its pace is slow and upset.
B．It dives too deeply into political issues.
C．There's a shortage of information on wars.
D．It lacks detailed information due to itortness.
（3）Which of following can best explain the underlined word "page-turner"？
A．A book that is exciting to read.
B．A book that is complicated.
C．A book that is easy to understand.
D．A book that has lots of pages to turn.
（4）What is the main purpose of this text？
A．To call on people to know the UK's history.
B．To recommend a book of the UK's history.
C．To suggest ways to know the UK's history.
D．To comment on the politics of the UK's history.
