217736. （2025•师大附中•高二下期末）     Are you a short video app user？If you are ，you will probably find yourself more familiar with 15-second sped-up snippets（加速的片段） of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms particularly Douyin and--TikTok， "Sped-up versions of tracks can help artists break through or go viral，although that initial success may not last， "a radio host said.This sped-up mode offers a faster route to the dopamine rush that social media aims to arouse，leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
    Watching everything at a sped-up pace seems like a good way to take in more content in a shorter time.However，what are the consequences？"So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing，fighting，timing and music，and speeding that all up just ruins it ， "a Reddit user commented.
    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs，not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators ：'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle（微妙的） emotions you put into the work， "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow，I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First，it's sped-up songs and movies；then gradually，it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test ， "a Chinese netizen said，Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks，I would think to myself， "How can I speed this up？"We already live in a fast-paced society，yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush？Some thingould not be sped up，like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down，control the usage of screens，and regain our patience.

（1）How does the Reddit user mentioned in the text comment on accelerating content？
A.It leads to people's addiction to social media.
B.It destroys the particular decisions of the creators.
C.It allows people to obtain more content in a shorter time.
D.It gives artists chances to break through or become popular.
（2）What is one of the results of the sped-up content？
A.Leading to a loss of patience with life.
B.Helping artists to achieve success.
C.Increasing the attractiveness of social media.
D.Allowing people to better enjoy movies and songs.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards sped-up content？
A.Critical
B.Neutral
C.Supportive
D.Indifferent
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A.To criticize people's addiction to short video apps.
B.To advocate regaining patience and concentration in creating.
C.To discuss the popularity of sped-up songs on social media.
D.To analyze the impact of sped-up content on people's patience and call for slowing down.

202502. （2021•西安中学•一模） Why do you go to the library？For books，yes - but you like books because they tell stories.You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life.At one type of library，you can do just that - even though there's not a single book.
   At a Human Library，instead of books，you can "borrow" people.Individuals volunteer as human "books" and participants in the event can "read" the book - meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual's experience. "Books" are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination based on race，religion，class，gender identity，age，lifestyle choices，disability and other aspects of their life.
   For a certain amount of time，you can ask them questions and listen to their stories，which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book.Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype（模式化形象）.You can speak with a refugee （难民），a soldier suffering from PTSD，a homeless person or a woman living with HIV.The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs - to truly get to know，and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
   According to its website，the Human Library is "a place where difficult questions are expected，appreciated and answered." It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
   The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen，Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel，his brother Dany，and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival，hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth.After the success of this event，Abergel founded the Human Library Organization，which has been growing ever since.
   Though there are a few permanent human libraries，most aren't places at all，but events.Though many do take place at physical libraries，you don't need a library card - anyone can come and be part of the experience.There have been human library events all over the globe，in universities and in pubs，from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
   The stories these "books" tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between.And that's the very point of the organization - to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word.It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover - or by its title or label.

（1）The "books" in human libraries are       .
A．long-held beliefs attracting individuals

A．aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B．attempted to replace traditional physical libraries

（3）In human libraries，the readers are likely to       .
A．deepen their understanding of people
B．enrich their own personal experiences
C．hear the stories from all over the world
D．make quick judgments about the "books"
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to       .
A．compare and evaluate
B．inform and explain
C．discuss and persuade

202691. （2020•西安中学•二模） I always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something．Not just as in， "Great job，Jimbo!" No，I wanted to be best-in-class，awe-inspiring，tiptop：a world-famous genius，like Michael Phelps，or Mark Zuckerberg．
   Unfortunately，my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision．I was a good swimmer，but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level．My academic record was pretty solid，but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools．
   Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas，the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond．God apparently had other plans．
   What drove me crazy，though，was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn．Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose of it．Why couldn't I be like Bernie Williams，the famed New York Yankees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso？
   Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time．Around ten thousand hours，to be precise，according to author Malcolm Gladwell．I don't question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one's expertise，but it seems that raw talent is equally important．You either have it or you don't．
   I've heard that as people approach middle age，their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality．After a few decades of frustration without the desired results，we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out，even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations．
   Hope bends，it seems．

A．Extraordinary efforts．

202615. （2020•西安中学•一模） While many countries love their tea，UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people"．The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year．
   Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century．Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time．Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes．
   There are many varieties of tea．Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK．Black tea is dark in colour，because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize （氧化） before drying．This is why we usually serve it with milk，although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon．You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves，served up in a pot，and poured into the best china cups with saucers （茶托） for visitors．
   Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today，but it seems to be on the decrease．The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002，and has been dropping ever since．Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone，and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea．More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013，more than twice what was spent on tea bags．

202616. （2020•西安中学•一模） Smile!It makes everyone in the room feel better because they，consciously or unconsciously，are smiling with you．Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry （模仿） allows us to empathize with and even experience other people's feelings．If we can't mirror another person's face，it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions．A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences．
   In their paper，Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood，social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin，describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves．For example，if you're with a friend who looks sad，you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so．In "trying on" your friend's expression，it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by associating it with times in the past when you made that expression．Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds．
   "You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you generate some sort of recognition judgment，and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action - you approach the person or you avoid the person，" Niedenthal says． "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your perception of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means．"
   A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces．This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases，like facial paralysis from a stroke，or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery．Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from paralysis from birth，because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions，you will have developed compensatory ways of interpreting emotions．
   People with social disorders associated with mimicry or emotion-recognition damage，like autism （自闭症），can experience similar challenges． "There are some symptoms in autism where lack of facial mimicry may in part be due to limitation of eye contact，" Niedenthal says．
   Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition．A better understanding of that part，she says，will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders．

（1）According to the passage，facial mimicry helps       ．
A．experience one's own feelings clearly
B．change others' emotions quickly
C．respond to others' expressions properly
D．develop friendship with others easily
（2）We can know from Paragraph 4 and 5 that       ．
A．people with motor diseases may also suffer from autism
B．people born with facial paralysis may still recognize emotions
C．people with social disorders can't have eye contact with others
D．people receiving plastic surgery have difficulty in mimicking faces
（3）According to Niedenthal，the next step of the study will focus on       ．
A．how we can treat brain disorders
B．what can be done to regain facial mimicry
C．how our brain helps us with emotional mirroring
D．what part of our brain helps recognize facial expression
（4）The passage is written to       ．
A．discuss how people react positively to others' smiles
B．draw people's attention to those with social disorders
C．introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition
D．explain how emotional mirroring affects people's empathy

202633. （2020•西安中学•四模） Do you believe that blood types can determine your personality？People in Japan take blood types very seriously，according to a recent BBC report．They have big implications for life，work and love． "What's your blood type？" is often a key question in everything from matchmaking to job applications．
   Last year，four of Japan's top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality，selling more than 5 million copies altogether．Why is it such a popular belief that they determine one's character？Taku Kabeya，chief editor，the publisher of one of the books，told The Huffington Post that he thought the appeal of these books comes from having one's self-image confirmed．Readers discover the definition of their blood type and "It's like 'Yes，that's me!'" A popular reason often given about the craze is that in a relatively homogenous （一致） society，it provides a simple framework to divide people up into easily recognizable groups． "Being the same is considered a good thing here in Japanese society，" translator Chie Kobayashi told the BBC． "But we enjoy finding little differences that distinguish people．"
   As defined by the books，type As are sensitive perfectionists and good team players，but they tend to be over-anxious．Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn，while ABs are artistic but also mysterious and unpredictable．Type Bs are cheerful，but have eccentric （怪癖的），individualistic and selfish traits （特点）．
   The beliefs surrounding blood groups have been used in unusual ways．The women's softball team that won gold for Japan at the Beijing Olympics is reported to have used blood type theories to design training for each player．Major companies reportedly make decisions about assignments based on employees' blood types，for example，in 1990 the Asahi Daily newspaper reported that Mitsubishi Electronics （日本三菱电器） had announced the creation of a team made up entirely of A workers．

（1）What is the popular belief in Japan according to the passage？
A．Being the same is considered a good thing．
B．Blood types can determine personality．
C．Happy marriage is based on personality．
D．It is fashionable to buy top 10 best-sellers．
（2）What does the underlined word craze in the second paragraph probably mean？
A．fashion
B．behavior
C．attraction
D．habit
（3）Why did Mitsubishi Electronics hire so many workers with blood type A？
A．Because they are mysterious artistic and unpredictable．
B．Because they are perfectionists，good team players．
C．Because they are curious and generous but stubborn．
D．Because they are cheerful，but have eccentric traits．
（4）This passage is likely to be selected from a book of       ．

202653. （2020•西安中学•三模） Perhaps it is time for farmers to put their feet up now because robots are used to inspect crops，dig up weeds，and even have become shepherds，too．Commercial growing fields are astronomically huge and take thousands of many hours to operate．One prime example is one of Australia's most isolated cattle stations，Suplejack Downs in the Northern Territory，extending across 4，000 square kilometers，taking over 13 hours to reach by car from the nearest major town - Alice Springs．
   The extreme isolation of these massive farms leaves them often unattended，and monitored only once or twice a year，which means if the livestock （家畜） falls ill or requires assistance，it can be a long time for farmers to discover．
   However，robots are coming to the rescue．Robots are currently under a two-year trial in Wales which will train "farmbots" to herd，monitor the health of livestock，and make sure there is enough pasture （牧草地） for them to graze on．The robots are equipped with many sensors to identify conditions of the environment，cattle and food，using thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature．
   During the trials，the robot algorithms and mechanics will be fine-tuned to make it better suited to ailing livestock and ensure it safely navigates around potential hazards including trees，mud，swamps，and hills．
   "We want to improve the quality of animal health and make it easier for farmers to maintain large landscapes where animals roam free，" says Salah Sukkarieh of the University of Sydney，who will carry out trials on several farms in central New South Wales．
   The robots are not limited to herding and monitoring livestock．They have been created to count individual fruit，inspect crops，and even pull weeds．
   Many robots are equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms to avoid injuring humans as they work side by side．The robots also learn the most efficient and safest passages，and allow engineers and farmers to analyze and better optimize （优化） the performances and tasks of the robot，as well as provide a live stream giving real-time feedback on exactly what is happening on the farms．
   Of course，some worry lies in replacing agricultural workers．However，it is farmers that are pushing for the advancements due to ever-increasing labor vacancies （空缺），making it difficult to maintain large-scale operations．
   The robots have provided major benefits to farmers in various ways，from hunting and pulling weeds to monitoring the condition of every single fruit．Future farms will likely experience a greater deal of autonomy as robots take up more and more farm work efficiently．

（1）What will "farmbots" be expected to do？
A．Take up many of the farmers' routines．
B．Provide medical treatments for livestock．
C．Lead the trend in farming the world over．
D．Improve the quality of pastures for grazing．

202654. （2020•西安中学•三模） It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying，you are tired in the afternoon．It's then that you might want to eat something sweet，perhaps a Coke or a chocolate bar，to lift your mood．After all it's popularly believed that a "sugar rush" gives us energy．
   But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods．
   The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1，300 adults．They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood，including anger，alertness，depression and tiredness．
   They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour and that these feelings become more intense over time．
   According to the researchers，when people take in sugar their blood sugar levels rise rapidly，leading to a burst of energy and a short "feel good" period．However，as they begin to digest the sugar，their blood sugar levels decrease quickly leading to a bad feeling．
   To remain on a "high" people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it．As with caffeine，this prevents the body from relaxing，leaving people feeling tired and less alert．
   But the study findings needn't make us think we must give up sweet food altogether．According to the World Health Organization，it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit，vegetables and milk so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake．
   So the next time you feel tired and can't concentrate，perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar．Maybe a spot of exercise at midday would be a better idea!
   Tips for beating afternoon fatigue．
   ? Head outside and sit in the daylight for 10 minutes．
   ? Get into the routine of a mid-afternoon cup of tea．
    ? Plan group activities for midday．
   ? Add variety to your routine

（1）What does the underlined word "boost" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．harm

C．control
D．change
（2）How did the people feel after they had sugar in the study？
A．They felt more tired．
B．They felt relaxed．
C．They were more alert．
D．They felt energetic．
（3）What do we learn from Paragraphs 5-6？
A．Our mood is connected to our blood sugar levels．
B．Taking in more sugar benefits mental health．
C．Getting caffeine is another way to relax．
D．Sugar and caffeine are all the same．
（4）What would the author suggest people do when they are tired？
A．Give up sweet food．
B．Have a bar of chocolate．
C．Do an hour of exercise．
D．Eat foods with natural sugars．

202672. （2020•西安中学•三模） I used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning．Over the years，little tweaks to my routine have changed things to the point that I am in the "I Love Mondays" camp．Here's what I've found that works：
   Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday．Get everything you need for the morning ready to go．If mornings are a struggle…give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference．Once that's done，consider a special "Sunday Night Only" calming down ritual （惯例）．It might be tea and a favorite TV show，or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you're ready for sleep．Whatever it is，enjoy this Monday morning warm-up，and consider sleeping a little earlier than you're used to，in order to help with the second step．
   One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I'm ready instead of fighting with the alarm for "Just five more minutes!" Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning - not to pack more into your morning to-do list，but to give yourself time to take it slowly．When you have a little extra time in the morning，you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week．
   Find a theme for the week．Every Monday，I post an inspiring quote or saying．These are intentional!Each week，as part of my Sunday night calming down time，I consider what I'd like to focus on in the coming week，and look for a quote that's a good fit to strengthen it．
   What are you excited about for the new week？What problem-solving opportunities do you have？What's been hanging over your head undone from last week？During your preparation time on Sunday night，think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish．If possible，schedule at least one of them for Monday，so you've started your week off feeling successful，instead of feeling like there's a mountain of tasks ahead of you．The work is the same either way，but our attitudes are always within our control．
   When you are intentionally creating a life you love，Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery（单调乏味的苦差事），and more like a beautiful start!

（1）The underlined word "tweaks" is the closest in meaning to       ．
A．mistakes
B．problems
C．adjustments
D．encouragements
（2）What's the benefit of getting up early enough on Monday morning？
A．You can get to your office and start work in time．
B．You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee．
C．You can have the weekend feeling longer by starting slowly．
D．You can have enough time to make a to-do list for the week．
（3）What does the author want to indicate in Para.5？
A．Be confident to solve the problems．
B．Look for opportunities for the week．
C．Arrange your tasks well for the week．
D．Positive attitude means a happy Monday．
（4）What might be the best title for this passage？
A．Monday Morning Warm Up
B．How to Love Your Mondays
C．How to Spend Your Mondays
D．Troublesome Monday Disease

202692. （2020•西安中学•二模） Lego is considering a brick rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste．The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives．
   Tim Brooks，vice-president responsible for sustainability，said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem． "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again？" Mr．Brooks added．
   "There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done．We are right at beginning of that．" Mr．Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources．He said many would "probably never see the light of day" and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan．
   Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment．It produces 19 billion pieces per year - 36，000 a minute - that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic．
   So far，the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane．The green trees，plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced．Henrik Nielson，a production supervisor in Lego's factory，said last year： "We need to learn again how to do this．"
   Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year，with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories．The company has invested more than 100，000，000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives．It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025．

（1）Lego is making great efforts to        ．
A．promote its brick rental plan
B．raise its production efficiency
C．explore ways to reduce plastic waste
D．develop new products
（2）The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means "        "．
A．run smoothly
B．come into existence
C．become totally useless
D．go against nature
（3）The writer tells of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste by means of        ．
A．figures
B．examples
C．comparison
D．classification
（4）What is Lego's attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives？
