217802. （2024•西安一中•高一上一月） Many studies have shown the learning—by—teaching effect.Students who spend time teaching what they've learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re—studying.But why does teaching help？
   Researchers did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher's learning because it forces the teacher to find back what they've learned.They asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them.They told the students they could take notes while studying，but would teach the material afterwards without notes.After studying the text，the students were divided into four groups.In one group the students spent five minutes giving a lesson on the study material without notes.The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic（算术） problems，teaching with a script（讲稿） or writing down all they could remember from the text—a form of recalling practice.A week later，all the students took a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text.
   The important finding is that the teaching—without—notes group and the recalling—practice group performed better than the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script.
   The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning—by—teaching method are caused by recalling practice；that is，the learning—by—teaching method works only when the teaching includes recalling the taught materials.
   The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning—by—teaching method is used in education.In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material，they should internalize（内化） the material before presenting it to others，rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.

（1）Why does the author give a question in Paragraph 1？
A．To look for readers' answer.

（3）What should be stressed in school education according to the author？

（1）B.推理判断题。根据第一段中的Students who spend time teaching what they've learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re—studying.（花时间教授所学知识的学生比只花同样时间重新学习的学生表现出更好的理解和记忆知识的能力。）和第二段中的Researchers did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher's learning because it forces the teacher to find back what they've learned.（研究人员进行了一项研究，以验证他们的观点，即教学提高了教师的学习，因为它迫使教师找回他们所学的东西。）可知，本篇文章主要讲述在教学中学习更能提高学生的学习效果。由此可知，第一段提出问题的原因在于进一步引出本篇文章的主题。故选B。
（2）B.段落大意题。根据第二段中的They asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them.（他们让124名学生花十分钟学习一篇关于一个对他们来说完全陌生的主题的带有数字的课文。）和After studying the text，the students were divided into four groups.（在学习课文后，学生们被分为四组。）以及A week later，all the students took a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text.（一周后，所有的学生都对他们的知识和对课文的理解进行了一次意外的测试。）可知，第二段主要绍实验的过程，也就是这个实验是怎么做的。故选B。
（3）C.推理判断题。根据最后一段The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning—by—teaching method is used in education.In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material，they should internalize（内化） the material before presenting it to others，rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.（这些新发现为教学中学习在教育中的应用提供了切实可行的建议。为了确保学生学习和记忆教育材料，他们应该在向他人展示之前将材料内化，而不是在展示过程中依赖笔记。）可知，作者认为在教学中学习有利于教育实践，学生应该在教学中学习。由此可推知，在学校教育中，应该强调的是在教学中学习。故选C。
（4）B.文章出处题。文章主要讲述了一项重要的研究，研究发现在学习中，学生在教学中学习更有助于提高学生的学习效率。所以此文章最有可能出自报纸。结合选项A.A history textbook.历史教科书；B.A newspaper.报纸；C.A guideline.指导方针；D.A detective novel.侦探小说。故选B。

202043. （2022•西安中学•四模） Boredom is such a large part of day-to-day existence.Perhaps because it's common in our lives，scientists have been slow to explore it.John Eastwood is one of the first scholars to take an interest.
   One of the most common false views is that "only boring people get bored".
   Yet as Eastwood set about exploring the reasons for boredom，he found that there are two distinct types of personality that tend to suffer from the feeling of boredom，and neither are particularly dull themselves.
   Boredom often goes among people who are constantly looking for new experiences.For these people，the steady path of life just isn't enough to hold their attention.The second kind of bored people have almost exactly the opposite problem：the world is a fearful place，and so they try not to step outside their comfort zone.While this might offer some comfort，they are not always satisfied with the safety it offers and boredom results.
   Emotionould evolve for our benefit. "The very fact that boredom is a daily experience suggests it should be doing something useful，" says Heather Lench at Texas A&M University.Feelings like fear help us avoid danger，after all，while sadness might help prevent future mistakes.So，if true，what does boredom achieve？
   Reviewing the evidence so far，Lench suspects that it lies behind one of our most important characters---curiosity.Boredom，she says，pushes us to try to seek new goals or explore new ideas which stimulate innovation（激发创新）.
   Eastwood is less enthusiastic about boredom's benefits，but admits we should be cautious about looking for an immediate escape. "The feeling is so disgusting that people rush to remove it， " he says." I'm not going to join that war on boredom and come up with a cure，because we need to listen to the emotion and ask what it is trying to tell us to do. "

（1）What does John Eastwood's study mainly focus on？
A．Why people get bored.
B．The benefits of boredom.
C．How to deal with boredom.
D．The types of boredom.
（2）According to Lench，boredom        .
A．would help us avoid mistakes
B．cannot be cured for the moment
C．might be good for our creativity
D．could make us get tired and lose focus
（3）What's Eastwood's attitude towards finding a cure for boredom？
A．Curious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Objective.
D．Uninterested.
（4）What message can be concluded from the text？
A．Easier said than done.
B．Hard work never killed a man.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Every coin has two sides.

219092. （2022•高新一中•高一下二月） You might have ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet，no matter how different their backgrounds are.Or you may have seen that one person who always offends someone，no matter what the topic of conversation is.These two situations describe how we can differ in our abilities to interact，get along with，and relate to others around us.In the same way that we vary in traditional academic abilities，we can vary in how socially qualified we are.After years of academic research and development，this social ability is now commonly referred to as "social intelligence."
   Social intelligence is the ability to understand other people，how they work，what motivates them，and how to work cooperatively with them.It is a relationship-based concept that centers on the way we understand others，interact with others，and present ourselves to others.As an example，you would not speak in the same way toward your 70-year-old mother as you would to your 16-year-old daughter.In our working lives，we come across different social groups including those from different countries，varying age groups and cultural identities.Being able to acknowledge and understand people's different backgrounds is a key way to connect with them.
   Our ability to navigate successfully through our lives relies heavily on our levels of social intelligence.It can affect the relationships we form with our partners and children，the friendship circles that we build，and our ability to progress in our careers and ambitions.Given the importance of social intelligence in multiple aspects of life，it is therefore in our best interest to better understand the concept of social intelligence.

（1）What is the first paragraph intended to show？
A．Academic research varies from person to person.
B．Creative competencies are crucial to one's research.
C．There are differences in people's social intelligence.
D．People's social abilities depend on their backgrounds.
（2）Why does the author use the example of mother and daughter？
A．To sincerely present a fact.
B．To further clarify a concept.
C．To clearly show an attitude.
D．To finally draw a conclusion.
（3）What do we know from the third paragraph？
A．Our relationship circleould be enlarged.
B．Better understanding a concept is important.
C．It is really difficult to achieve one's ambition.
D．Social intelligence has great effects on our lives.
（4）What may be talked about following the last paragraph？
A．How to define social intelligence.
B．How to classify social intelligence.
C．How to improve social intelligence.
D．How to deal with social intelligence.

    Xing Eryang，a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing，founded the Douban topic in -2021.While staying diligent about her daytime work，she is developing her hobbies，including stand-up comedy and vlogging，into secondary careers during her spare time.And she is amazed to find her "slash life" philosophy followed by so many of her peers.

204395. （2023•铁一中学•高二下期末）     Gardening may be one of the most relaxing hobbies you'll find，with the excitement of seeing something you have planted actually turn into a flower.But if you've been holding back because you don't have a yard，then you' re missing out a lot.（1）
    Container gardening is the most obvious way to plant when you don't have a ton of space.If you can get a container regardless of its size，you can have a garden.（2）       Even a small pot with a brightly colored flower or bushy green plants can give your entryway a pop of color.
    （3）       Grow climbing plants on a fence or the posts over your doorway to decorate the side of your home.Plenty of plants are happy to grow up instead of out，so you can have some greenery without a traditional garden.
    Have an apartment or townhouse？Then consider outdoor window boxes that you access from inside.（4）       And they give you plenty of options to plant bright blooms or fresh herbs within reach—plus they give your home some added appeal at the same time.
    There's probably still one room where you haven't thought of putting some plants：Your bathroom.Even if yours doesn't get much light，a wall-mounted garden can still grow well.（5）       They will give your bathroom a more natural，earthy feel.

B.When plants get enough sunlight，they grow better.
C.If you're really short of space，think height instead.

201948. （2023•周至县•三模） A smile is the key to a thousand doors，but deploying （有效利用）it in every situation without mastery of its use is dangerous，says a new social science study.
   Scientists say it takes a great many muscles to smile；scientists at Queen's University Belfast in a recent study found that subtle（细微的）differences in the way in which a person smiled had not-so-subtle impacts on the opinions which the test participants had about the smiler. "Smiling at another person does not always lead to trust and cooperation，" said Dr.Stephanie Carpenter from the University of Michigan，a co-author of the study. "Subtle differences in a smile can definitely have a real impact on whether people trust each other and choose to cooperate.In fact，the way you smile in a good or bad situation can impact whether people trust you.
   "Think about movie villains（恶棍），for example in James Bond films，" said Dr.Magdalena Rychlowska from Queen's University，who led the research published in Cognition and Emotion journal. "They often make happy smiles when something bad has happened or is about to happen.This context makes these otherwise happy and normal smiles feel threatening and unpleasant." She adds，"The findings of this study show the power of subtle facial expressions and the positive consequences that an affiliation smile can have in difficult situations.It also highlights the importance of social context-a happy smile that could be read as a signal of trustworthiness in one setting can，but in another setting，it can be seen as the evidence of bad intentions."

A．Deploying smiling is very dangerous in every situation.
B．Subtle difference in smiling has little impact.

B．People always make happy smiles when something bad has happened.
C．Mastering the smile can help you avoid troubles.
D．Subtle facial expressions have positive consequences.

217756. （2024•师大附中•高二上一月）    People experience emotional pain-often in the form of guilt（内疚）—when spending money.This is called the moral tax（道德税） or pain of payment.We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase（购买） from its payment.However，the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift-an item you don't have to pay for at all!
    As a result，the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax.This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.
    Curiously，it's not about the actual amount of money spent.What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift（or the guilt taken away）.Consider the following example as an explanation.
    For weeks，Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes.They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat.She's got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn't think the purchase is necessary.After all，she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear.Still，Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex，and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes.She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account.
    Looking at it from an economic point of view，Anne's happiness doesn't make any sense.Since she shares a bank account with her husband，it doesn't matter who buys the shoes.The loss of money is the same either way.How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary？It all comes down to moral tax.By making the payment on Anne's behalf，Alex cuts her wife's pain of payment.Anne gets to enjoy her preciouoes guilt-free.
    The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty.What are your partner's secret wants and guilty pleasures？Unfortunately，that's the one question you need to answer yourself.

（1）What does the moral tax refer to in the text？
A.The guilt of receiving an expensive gift.
B.The problems caused by overspending.
C.The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase.
D.The emotional pain coming from spending money.
（2）Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself？
A.She has got a similar pair.
B.She is influenced by the moral tax.
C.She decides to put off satisfaction.
D.She only wants to use her husband's money.
（3）What may an economist think of Anne's excitement？
A.Unreasonable.
B.Unreal.
C.Interesting.
D.Expected.
（4）What do the experts suggest about the best gifts？
A.They should be practical and useful.
B.They should be expensive to show appreciation.
C.They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt.
D.They should be items that don't cost people too much but are meaningful.

219533. （2020•西安中学•高三上二月） Sometimes people call each other "scaredcat".But have you ever thought about this expression？When a cat is frightened，its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn't realize this，its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues，the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself，or it will run away as fast as it can.
   Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited，angry or scared by other feelings，our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We，too，get ready to defend ourselves or run.
   Human beings，however，have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later？Have you ever shouted at a teacher，told somebody you were lonely，or said you were in love，and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut？It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.
   Does this mean that it's smarter to always hide our feelings？No！If you keep feelings of anger，sadness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop，and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either；all feelings need to be expressed.
   Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside，don't just go away.It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them，but before long you'd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard，chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.
   You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist，but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them，just like those bananas.

（1）When people and animals are aroused by fear，       .
A．they may get ready to attack or run away

D．It's good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.
