217831. (2024•西安八十五中•高二上一月)     For those of us who grew up watching Star Trek,exploring space has been about discovering strange new worlds.And there are plenty of worlds to explore in time,but we still need major technological advancements to reach planets that are light years away.
    What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now,right here on Earth.From space,we can monitor,manage and care for our planet.Satellite-based sensorow us the short-and long-term effects of human activity on our environment.Many companies are using their interest in space to help solve problems here,from using hyperspectral imaging(高光谱成像),which enable us to map vegetation(植被) and rain forests,to microsatellites that provide global connectivity for the network of things.
    My company,OneWeb,is focusing on what I believe is one of the world's most important issues:the need for equal access to the Internet.The Internet has become our economic lifeblood.And yet,nearly half of the world's population doesn't have Internet access.Space is playing a key role in bridging this digital divide.OneWeb is launching 1,980 satellites to help bring Internet access to people everywhere,and our first production satellites are already flying in space and have shown very high download speeds.
    Fiber and cable.Internet access technologies already cover most financially viable(可行的)major cities.Similarly,these regions will also be the first to be served with 5 G.Poor communities are the last to get connected,and without connectivity,those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty.OneWeb's satellites will reach every community in the world and enable equal access to the Internet for the world's less developed places.
    Fifty years from the day when man first walked on the moon,we are still only approaching the possible.There will be tens of thousands of new satellites,space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications,scientific research,monitoring the earth,exploring space and more.This is exciting,but we must take action carefully.

(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?        
A.Benefits space exploration can bring to us.
B.Problems space exploration leads to.
C.Steps of space exploration requires.
D.Equipment space exploration needs.
(2)What is OneWeb aiming to do?        
A.Increase download speeds.
B.Narrow the gap in Internet learning.
C.Help people set up and maintain a website.
D.Enable people to make use of the Internet equally.
(3)What can be inferred from the text?        
A.More than six decades ago,man first walked on the moon.
B.More than half of the world's people have no access to the Internet.
C.OneWeb's satellites will make it possible for most people to be served with 5 G.
D.Without the Internet,poor communities can hardly help themselves out of poverty.
(4)What will the writer probably continue to write about in the following paragraph?        
A.The risks of furthering space exploration.
B.The value of setting up space stations.
C.The way we could monitor our earth.
D.The features of microsatellites.

204461. (2023•莲湖区•高一下期末)     If there was any doubt about whether the world has entered a new space race,the competition of lunar-bound launch this month could be the smoking gun.After NASA canceled two launch attempts in late August and early September—followed by delays(延期) caused by Hurricane Ian and Tropical Storm Nicole—the US space agency tried again to send up its first Artemis mission.
    That period fit s in with that of another mission less-known in the United States.A Japanese commercial company focusing on building moon landers launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Dec.11,2022 in the US.
    "We recognize that a launch of NASA's is scheduled during the same time frame,and we believe this sends the message that a new age is opening for the cislunar economy (地月经济)with these two historic missions—one government and one commercial," the company said in a statement.
    NASA happens to be one of the company's customers,hoping to receive moon dust samples from the private lander's trip.However,the plan failed on Apr.26,2023.If the Tokyo-based company had succeeded,it would have been the first to land a Japanese space-craft on the moon.What's more,it could have been the first successful private delivery of cargo to the lunar surface ever.
    Brad Jolliff,director of the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences at Washing ton University in St.Louis,believes the next five years will be full of commercial missions to perform landings,deliver more goods to the moon,and promote science experiments.In Brad's opinion,the new age of lunar exploration and travel won't be done entirely by NASA.It will be done with international partners and with commercial partners.

(1)What made NASA put off its launch plan a third time?        
A.Natural disasters.
B.A lack of preparation.
C.The high cost of technology.
D.Other important experiments.
(2)What do we know about the Japanese company?        
A.Its head office is in the US.
B.It has ever sent goods for customers in space.
C.Its launch time is roughly the same as a NASA's launch.
D.It's a company successfully delivering goods to the moon.
(3)What does the underlined word"cargo" in paragraph 4 mean?        
A.Satellite.
B.Spaceship.
C.Signal.
D.Goods.
(4)What is Brad's attitude to private commercial missions to space?        
A.Hopeful.
B.Opposed.
C.Careless.
D.Doubtful.

205622. (2019•蓝田县•高二下期末) Dolphins are not fish,but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups,and speak to each other in their own language.In this,they are like other animals,such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals,dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth,called the jaw.
   Strangely,dolphins seem to like man,and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
   There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand,they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area--except for The Penguin.
   Today,some people continue to kill dolphins,but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

(1)Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they        
A.live in groups
B.have large brains
C.are warm-blooded
D.have their own language
(2)Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?        
A.Its nose.
B.Its ears.
C.Its mouth.
D.Its eyes.
(3)Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?        
A.They wanted his help.
B.They enjoyed playing with him.
C.He was seriously wounded.
D.He was lonely and liked to be with people.
(4)By telling the story of Jack,the writer wanted to show that        
A.people are cruel to animals
B.dolphinould be protected by law
C.Jack is different from other dolphins
D.dolphins are friendly and clever

205668. (2018•西安中学•高一上期末) After years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s,wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations - major food sources (来源) for the wolf - grew rapidly.These animals consumed (消耗) large amounts of vegetation (植被),which reduced plant diversity (多样性) in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes,and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

(1)What is the text mainly about?       
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
(2)What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean?       
A.Tested.
B.Separated.
C.Forced out.
D.Tracked down.
(3)What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves?       
A.Damage to local ecology.
B.A drop in the park's income.
C.Protection of vegetation.
D.An increase in the diversity of animals.
(4)What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?       
A.Doubtful.
B.Positive.
C.Unfavorable.
D.Uncaring.

203406. (2016•西工大附中•七模) Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S.D.,so commuting(经常往返) to class isn't the problem.But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.
   So Steele,a full-time senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system's online offerings.He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.
   "I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people," he says.But now,he sets his own schedule.
   At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses,according to a recent survey by the Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and two-thirds of colleges offering "face-to-face" courses also offer online ones.But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students.
   At some schools,online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students.A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.
   Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits.Motives range from lifestyle to adapting to a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses.
   Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year.As many as 9,000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.
   "Business is really about providing choices to their customers,and that's really what we want to do," said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.
   Many schools,such as Washington State and Arizona State,let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course.They say students with legitimate academic needs - a conflict with another class,a course they need to graduate that is full - often get permission,though they still must take some key classes in person.

(1)What is the purpose of the passage?        
A.To introduce Steele to us,who prefers online courses.
B.To tell us about the development of campus courses.
C.To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.
D.To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.
(2)We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele        
A.lives far from the campus
B.knows none of his classmates
C.wants to have his own lifestyle
D.doesn't get good marks
(3)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?        
A.The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.
B.It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.
C.About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.
D.Different colleges have different policies about online courses.
(4)From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage,we can tell        
A.business is the most popular major in universities
B.collegeould provide more majors for students
C.where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D.why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students

203408. (2016•西工大附中•七模) The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby.Almost from the moment it is born,the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother.During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large,warm,and soft object in its environment,particularly if that object also gives it milk.After a week or so,however,the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on "mother"- the real mother or the mother-substitute.
   During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby.The Harlows,a couple who are both psychologists,discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes - one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature,the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother.However,if the wire model was heated,while the cloth model was cool,for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.
   Why is cloth preferable to bare wire?Something that the Harlows called contact comfort seems to be the answer,and a most powerful influence it is.Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins,putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can.Whenever the young animal is frightened,disturbed,or annoyed,it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body.Wire doesn't "rub" as well as does soft cloth.Prolonged (长时间的) "contact comfort" with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.
   According to the Harlows,the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust.If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother,the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball.If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom,the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life.After a few minutes of contact comfort,it obviously begins to feel more secure.It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys,but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well.Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its "mother."

(1)Psychologically,what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?        
A.Warmth
B.Milk
C.Contact
D.Trust
(2)After the first two weeks of their life,baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is        
A.larger in size
B.closer to them
C.less frightening and less disturbing
D.more comfortable to rub against
(3)It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,        
A.it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B.it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C.it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D.it cares less about whether its mother is still around
(4)The main purpose of the passage is to        
A.give the reasons for the experiment
B.present the findings of the experiment
C.introduce the method of the experiment
D.describe the process of the experiment

203409. (2016•西工大附中•七模) More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence.Wayne Meisel,director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University,said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves.In these circumstances,he said,young people lack confidence,which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.In spite of the different conditions in China,Li Xuequan,director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation,said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation and corruption.In order to solve these problems,the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favourable conditions for the healthy growth of young people,as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of"challenge to youth"to many young people,urging them to commit themselves to meet such needs as feeding the hungry,housing the homeless,caring for the lonely and sick,serving the elderly and preserving the environment.The letter says:"Through the service,we touch the lives of others and enrich our own."

(1)What is the main factor that leads to young people's lack of confidence in both countries?        
A.Their education
B.Their laziness
C.Economic pressure
D.Part-time jobs
(2)What was the possible situation in the 1960s?        
A.Young people lacked confidence as well.
B.Young people were quite confident in America.
C.Young people in America were able to do anything well.
D.Young Chinese people were very confident.
(3)The passage is mainly about         in the two countries.
A.lack of confidence of the young people
B.problems of the young people and ways to solve them
C.approaches to touching the lives of others
D.challenges for the young people

203439. (2015•师大附中•一模) Our body clock,or natural body rhythm,influences our energy and alertness(警觉).paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks.
   The reality,however,is that most of us organize their time around work demands,school deadlines,commuting or social events.Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modern society.
   But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits.Disrupting our natural body rhythm,on the other hand,has been linked to problems such as depression,obesity,or headache,says Steve Key,a biology professor.
   When the body clock can synchronize(使……同步)the rhythms of its natural processes,it "gives us an advantage in daily life",says Key.
   According to him,when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work,most adults perform best in the late morning.As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday,our memory,alertness and concentration gradually improve.
   However,he adds,our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter.Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4pm.
   Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2pm,making that a good time for a nap.
   Surprisingly,tiredness may increase our creative powers.For most adults,problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired,according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.
   When choosing a time of day to exercise,paying attention to your body clock can improve results.Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm,says Michael Smolensky,a professor of biomedical engineering.
   Of course,not everyone's body clock is the same,making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.

(1)If we know our natural body rhythm well,we can.        
A.organize our time around work demands
B.find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
C.do whatever our body feels like doing
D.be sure to be healthy
(2)Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us        
A.when we get up in the morning
B.when we are full of energy in the late morning
C.when we are tired in the evening
D.when we are asleep at night
(3)The main purpose of the passage is to        
A.criticize
B.persuade
C.encourage
D.inform
(4)Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?        
A.Something About Natural Body Rhythm
B.Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad For Us.
C.What Is Natural Body Rhythm?
D.All The Research About Natural Body Rhythm

203440. (2015•师大附中•一模) About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin (鱼翅),a survey has found.Although the controversial dish remains on the menu at most hotels,Green Beagle Environment Institute,a Beijing-based non-government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey,said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness.
   The survey was carried out in Beijing,Shenzhen and Fuzhou,which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide.In Beijing,132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov.20 and Dec.12.Only 12 hotels,9 percent,said they do not serve shark fin.A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin,Wang Xue,chief coordinator (协调人) of the survey,said on Saturday.In Shenzhen,four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin,accounting for about 5 percent.In Fuzhou,only one of the 40 hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin.On average,about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food.
   "The survey reminded us there is still a long way to go to remove shark fins from Chinese hotels and restaurants,but the improved situation in Beijing is encouraging," said Wang. "We found more hotels and restaurants were willing to take action over the past year." International hotels are more active in the "shark-fin-free" project,she noted.China is the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin,which has been used in luxurious Chinese dishes for 500 years.Dishes made from shark fin are still regarded as a symbol of honor and respect,especially at business dinners,according to Wang.
   Research has also found that shark fin contains poisonous elements,but the nutritious value is less than that of chicken or pork. "We hope hotels and restaurants remove shark fin products from their menus," Wang added.

(1)Why do Chinese people like eating shark fin?        
A.Shark fin stands for honor and respect in China.
B.Shark fin is rich in a variety of nutrition.
C.The living standard of Chinese is much better than before.
D.Shark fin can make people live longer.
(2)In which way was the survey carried out?        
A.Interviewing on the spot.

203477. (2015•师大附中•四模) Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain.But they didn't find out in the usual way.
   Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating.The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal(木炭)drawings or painted pictures.Carbon is an element found in many things,including charcoal and even people.But in this case,there was no paint or charcoal to test.People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools.The scientists had an "aha!" moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings.The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.
   "It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art," said Alistair Pike,an archaeological scientist at Britain's University of Bristol. "We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites(石笋).
   When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago,the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old.And some of the animalown,like the European bison,are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old.
   The artists came to Creswell Crags,This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age.At that time,much of the North Sea was dry,so people could move about more easily.
   Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old.They show that the travelers hunted horses,reindeer,and arctic hare.Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany.It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away-another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world.

(1)Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?        
A.Cave Art About Animals Is Most Beautiful
B.Cave Art Found in an Unusual Way
C.Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain's Oldest
D.Cave Art in Britain
(2)From Paragraph Two,people can conclude        
A.archaeologists can work out the date of cave art
B.radiocarbon dating appeared only in Britain
C.archaeologists are good at using stone tools
D.drawings and painted pictures are really necessary for the formation of small rocks.
(3)Why do scientists say the art is quite old?        
A.The art was carved into stone with stone tools.
B.The animals carved in the stone are beautiful.
C.The cave is one of the farthest points in the world.
D.Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10,000 years old.
(4)By studying the cave art,scientists know something about        
A.how ancient people crossed the North Sea
B.why some of the animals have died out
C.how humans spread out across the world
D.what kind of animals people hunt at that time

203478. (2015•师大附中•四模) In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity,others say that competition is bad;that it sets one person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
   I have taught many children who held the belief that their self - worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life - and - death affairs.In their single - minded pursuit (追求) of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
   However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse: "I may have lost,but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self - respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

(1)What does this passage mainly talk about?       
A.Competition helps to set up self - respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.

203516. (2015•西工大附中•八模) Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
   During the hours when you labour through your work,you may say that you're"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people that peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as"Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
   You can't change your energy cycle,but you can make your life fit it better.Habit can help.Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour.This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up energy and work better at your low point.
   Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

(1)If you want to work better at your low point in the morning,you should       
A.change your energy cycle
B.overcome your laziness
C.get up earlier than usual
D.go to bed earlier
(2)You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will       
A.help to keep your energy for the day's work
B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D.keep your energy cycle under control all day
(3)What's the best title of the passage?       
A.Change Your Habits
B.Save Your Energy
C.Daily Energy Cycle
D.Temperature-and-Energy Peak
(4)The text is likely to be selected from a book of       
A.fashion
B.geography

205640. (2018•西安中学•高一下期末) Imagine,one day,getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and then,after a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
   Sounds unusual,doesn't it?But it's not that unrealistic,with the development of China's high-speed railway system.And that's not all.China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore.
   China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan,and possibly to Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour,almost as fast as some airplanes.Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled,such as safety,rail gauge(轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.
   China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.It'll be a win-win project.For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countries.
   For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources,but would also help develop China's far west.We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all.And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

(1)According to the passage,the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is        
A.technical issues
B.safety of the system
C.financial problems
D.maintenance of railway tracks
(2)China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because        
A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions.
B.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways.
C.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries.
D.The foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism.
(3)Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan?        
A.Critical.
B.Reserved.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.
(4)Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?        
A.New Railway Standards
B.Big Railway Dreams
C.High-speed Bullet Trains
D.International Railway Network

220550. (2016•七十中•高二下二月) Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries.Grafting (嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning.Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually.
Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants,so their yield (产量) is more reliable.Cloned plants also reproduce faster,limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting.It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods.Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available.With more yield at a faster rate,farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs.
Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops.This would make plants immune (免疫的) to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year.Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past.Also,plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning.
Through cloning scientists can develop"super"fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality.This could make for a healthier population overall.This is already being done through selective pollination (授粉),and genetic cloning could take it to the next level.
By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases,but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive.While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning,there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species.
(1)The underlined word"optimized"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by"        ".
A.enlarged
B.produced
C.perfected
D.examined
(2)According to the text,cloned plants        
A.have lower yield than normal plants
B.need little care from people
C.resist various kinds of diseases
D.have a short growth cycle
(3)What is the main purpose of the text?        
A.To warn the negative effects of plant cloning.
B.To present different kinds of plant cloning.
C.To predict the future of plant cloning.
D.To inform us about the advantages of plant cloning.

203342. (2016•西工大附中•九模) High-quality customer service is told by many,but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail (零售) store,but instead will alarm their friends,relatives,co-workers,strangers and anyone who will listen.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints,and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors,according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school."Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers."Said Paula Courtney,president of the Verde group."The store loses the customer,but the shopper must also find a replacement."
On average,every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others,and will no longer visit the specific store.For every dissatisfied customer,a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews.The resulting"snowball effect"can be disastrous to retailers.
According to the research,shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems.Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.The most common complaints include filled parking lots,messy and overloaded shelves,sold-out items,long check-out lines,and rude salespeople.
During peak shopping hours,some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants.Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces.This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly,and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts,pre-stocking sales items,hiring speedy and experienced cashiers,and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly,salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.
"Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over problems than those who aren't so friendly."Said Professor Stephen Hoch."Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help."
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer,instead of complaining to the rest of the world.Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.

(1)Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?       
A.Customers have no easy access to store managers.
B.Few customers believe the service will be improved.
C.Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to others.
D.Most customers won't bother to complain about unhappy experiences.
(2)Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers       
A.won't have trouble parking their cars
B.won't have any worries about security
C.can find their cars easily after shopping
D.can stay longer looking around in the store
(3)What contributes most to smoothing over problems with customers?       
A.Design of the store layout.
B.Manners of the salespeople.
C.Hiring of efficient employees.
D.Huge supply of goods for sale.
(4)To achieve better shopping experiences,customers are advised to       
A.voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
B.put pressure on stores to improve their service
C.shop around and make comparisons between stores
D.settle their disagreement with stores in a diplomatic way.

218880. (2022•西安八十三中•高一上二月) I love training with my husband Chris.We do our own exercises separately,but then we really enjoy spending 30-40 minutes doing something we both like together.I also train with my family - my brother,his wife and our cousins will come to our house every now and then to train together.It's like family fun time!A little bit of competition also makes us work out harder.
