217897. （2024•华清中学•高二上一月） With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
   Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（开发） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on Mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
   The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Modern American society.
B．The creation of constitution.
C．The settlement of Europeans.
D．The exploitation of resources.
（2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？
A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
（3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？
A．Making relevant laws properly.
B．Conducting more scientific researches.
C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
（4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？
A．Opinion.
B．History.
C．Technology.
D．Environment.

202805. （2020•西安中学•三模） We often hear such statements： "I spilled （洒出） juice，but it wasn't my fault．"， "I got in trouble at school，but it wasn't my fault．" or "I was in a car accident，but it wasn't my fault．" That "It's not my fault．" is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers．
   Parents complain they are tired of the "excuse"．The reason why variations of "It's not my fault．" are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame．I'm a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can't control．Teens who often say "It's my fault．" when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical，perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression．
   While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself，many teens over-rely on "It's not my fault．" When trying to get them to take responsibility，parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault．The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle．No one wins．A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase．
   Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives．This sense has been shown to cause low motivation．Besides creating feelings of lack of ability，overuse of "It's not my fault．" focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done．
   People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway．The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake．One can certainly stay in water，yelling， "It's not my fault．" However，that won't get him out of water．He needs to swim to the shore，regardless of the fault．
   If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens，you can help them avoid over-reliance on "It's not my fault．"

（1）What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1？
A．The teenagers' dislike for school life．
B．The common trouble faced by teenagers．
C．The reasons for blaming others for accidents．
D．The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life．
（2）What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text？
A．Those lacking confidence and ambition．
B．Those allowing others to find excuses．
C．Those unable to get along well with others．
D．Those often blaming themselves for some incidents．
（3）What's the author's attitude to parents' usual way of guiding children？
A．Supportive．
B．Negative．
C．Ambiguous．
D．Neutral．
（4）What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author？
A．We should try to avoid troubling others．
B．We should focus on how to solve problems．
C．We should dare to point out others' mistakes．
D．We should be self-critical as much as possible．

202730. （2020•西安中学•六模） Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available．While they sound efficient and cost-saving，a recent study reports that they are not effective，primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them．
   The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy （CBT） and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor．
   Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression，helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors．However，online CBT programs have been gaining popularity，with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer．
   A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England．The patients were split into three groups：one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care I from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs．Participants were balanced across the three groups for age，sex，educational background，severity and duration of depression，and use of antidepressants．
   After four months，the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors．
   "It's an important，cautionary note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists，" says Christopher Dowrick，a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool． "We do still need the human touch or the human interaction，particularly when people are depressed．"
   Being depressed can mean feeling "lost in your own small，negative，dark world，" Dowrick says．Having a person，instead of a computer，reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation． "When you're emotionally vulnerable，you're even more in need of a caring human being，" he says．

（1）What does the recent study say about online CBT programs？
A．Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure．
B．Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer．
C．They can save patients trouble visiting physicians．
D．They have been well received by a lot of patients．
（2）What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular？
A．Their effectiveness in combating depression．
B．The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy．
C．Their easy and inexpensive access by patients．
D．The recommendation by primary care doctors．
（3）What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs？
A．They should not be neglected in primary care．
B．Their effectivenesould not be overestimated．
C．They should be used by strictly following instructions．
D．Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists．
（4）What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person？
A．A positive state of mind．
B．Appropriate medication．
C．Timely encouragement．
D．Human interaction．

205369. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept？How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping？Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer "yes" to these questions to launch his own startup （新兴公司），Stashbee．His business links people with space to those who need it．
   And it's just one player in the booming "sharing economy"，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spaces．Airbnb，a company valued at 200 bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-term．DogVacay pairs holiday making pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by 2017．
   All their business models revolve around one simple word：trust．So，how does Stashbee measure up？BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himself．He had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two months．All relatively smooth and painless．
   Heavyweights （行业巨头） in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，aren't convinced．A representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with "amateurs"．He considered 24/7（全天候） access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service．
   Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers we've been taught since childhood．They aren't alone．Companies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudes．
   And the concept of social storage doesn't stop there．CityStasher believe there's a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of time．
   Would you try it out？It's a question of trust．

（1）The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the text to        ．
A．expect readers to answer them
B．carry out a survey among readers
C．start a conversation among readers
D．draw readers attention to the topic
（2）How does Dougal Shaw try out Stashbee's business？
A．Experiencing in person．
B．Doing a survey online．
C．Analyzing some data．
D．Exchanging his belongings．
（3）What does the traditional storage industry value most？
A．Trust．
B．Security．
C．Cost．

214214. （2022•鄠邑区•高二下期中） Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
   Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
   Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says，According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking，although fewer than running，which would probably burn about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
   However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
   As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.

（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.

212913. （2024•周至四中•高二下期中） In today's difficult economic time，it's natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad．Does the benefit outweigh the cost？The answer，in fact，is yes，when you look at the road ahead．
   When the economy becomes more challenged，competition for the workforce increases，and employers look for employees with the best credentials（资力）．Having an overseas degree - from a university where strong English skills are required - can make all the difference．The added expertise of a foreign degree，along with more cultural experience，can make you more qualified for many jobs．
   A 50-year study of 3，400 studentows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person's life and continues to impact the participant's life for years after the experience．
   82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path．70% stated that it ignited（点燃）an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience．
   And the effect on one's career can be equally strong．A study by the Queensland，Australia government showed：
   61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume．72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee．
   Still，there's the question of how to pay for studying overseas．But the cost doesn't have to be as high as you think．Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs．And，there are plenty of ways to further offset（抵消）the cost - through financial tips，advice and grants（补助金）．

（1）The second study shows that studying abroad       ．
A．helps one to get a job

219936. （2020•西工大附中•高一下一月） Robert F．Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except what makes life worthwhile．" With Britain voting to leave the European Union，and GDP already predicted to slow as a result，it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to．
   The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century．Many argue that it is a mistaken concept．It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do．By most recent measures，the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world，with record low unemployment and high growth figures．If everything was going so well，then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit，despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects？
   A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question．Across the 163 countries measured，the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens．Rather than just focusing on GDP，over 40 different sets of criteria from health，education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing．
   While all of these countries face their own challenges，there are a number of common themes．Yes，there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash，but in key indicators in areas such as health and education，major economies have continued to decline．Yet this isn't the case with all countries．Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society，income equality and environment．
   This is a lesson that rich countries can learn：When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country's success，the world looks very different．
   So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations，as a measure，it is no longer enough．It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being．

（1）Robert F．Kennedy is cited（引用）because he       ．
A．praised the UK for its GDP．
B．identified GDP with happiness．
C．misinterpreted the role of GDP．
D．had a low opinion of GDP．
（2）Which of the following is true about the recent annual study？
A．Its results are inspiring．
B．It is sponsored by 163 countries．
C．Its criteria are questionable．
D．It removes GDP as an indicator．
（3）What is the author's attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a country's success？
A．Favorable．
B．Indifferent．
C．Critical．
D．Defensive．

204810. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Calming.
B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

219272. （2022•铁路中学•高一下二月） Scientists who study glacier （冰川） ice have found viruses nearly 15，000 years old in two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China.Most of those viruses，which survived because they had remained frozen，are unlike any viruses that have been listed to date.
   The findings published recently could help scientists understand how viruses have developed over centuries.For this study，the scientists also created a new，ultra-clean method of analyzing microbes and viruses in ice without polluting it.
   The researchers analyzed ice cores taken in 2015 from the Guliya ice cap in western China.The cores are collected at high altitudes —the peak of Guliya，where this ice originated，is 22，000 feet above sea level.The ice cores contain layers of ice that accumulate year after year，trapping whatever was in the atmosphere around them at the time each layer froze.Those layers create a timeline of sorts，which scientists have used to understand more about climate change，microbes，viruses and gases throughout history.
   Researchers determined that the ice was nearly 15，000 years old using a combination of traditional and new，novel techniques to date this ice core.When they analyzed the ice，they found genetic codes for 33 viruses.Four of those viruses have already been identified by the scientific community.But at least 28 of them are novel.About half of them seemed to have survived at the time they were frozen not in spite of the ice，but because of it.
   "These viruses have signatures of genes that help them infect cells in cold environments —just surreal genetic signatures for how a virus is able to survive in extreme conditions.These are not easy signatures to pull out，and the method that Zhi-Ping developed to remove harmful substances from the cores and to study microbes and viruses in ice could help us search for these genetic order in other extreme icy environments — Mars，for example，the moon，or closer to home in Earth's Atacama Desert." said Matthew Sullivan，co-author of the study.

（1）What is special about this study？
A．Scientists have found the oldest viruses.
B．The ice cores are from high altitudes on earth.
C．The viruses are not polluted in the analysis.
D．A new way of analyzing the results is adopted.
（2）How do the scientists learn about the viruses in the history？
A．By watching the process of ice accumulation.
B．By studying the layer of the ice samples.
C．By collecting whatever was in the atmosphere.
D．By creating a timeline of climate change.
（3）What is the significance of the study？
A．It tells the cause of climate changes.
B．It warns people of the old viruses.
C．It proves a way to remove viruses.
D．It benefits virus study on the moon.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．Newly-found old viruses in the glacier.
B．Genetic codes of old viruses in the glacier.
C．Novel techniques to date old viruses.
D．Study of old viruses on the Mars.

205313. （2021•新城区•高一下期末） Major cities across the country，from Washington D.C.to Los Angeles，are heating up.The downtown parts of Phoenix can be up to 15 degrees warmer at night than its suburb（郊区）.During the day，the street can reach over 160 degrees，hot enough to cook an egg.Unsurprisingly，walking across such a hot street to get to work，school，and do your daily work takes its toll on your health.
   Local governments have turned to planting trees to help stop rising temperatures in city areas.These tree planting efforts are usually announced with much showing off but are not as simple as planting a few trees and calling it a day.There's typically this sort of blind faith that trees will provide all of wonderful social benefits.But the environmental benefits that trees provide depend entirely on context.Tree planting plans may not lead to the cooling joy we desire in city areas.
   While tees，theoretically，are a "green" solution to unbearable summer city weather，in practice，many problems arise，namely keeping track of just how many trees have already found their roots and convincing land owners to keep planting trees along their personal property（私产）.In some cases，cities are already doing a good enough job that they are running out of space，like in Washington，D.C.where they are currently at 38 percent canopy （树冠）coverage but are hoping to raise coverage up to 40 percent.But the biggest problem is that public area alone isn't enough for new trees in Washington D.C，as well as in cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles，and now，citizens will have to plant trees on personal property to help reach their canopy coverage goals.In many cases，that means landowners need to take care of those trees since they technically don't belong to the city itself.
   At the end of the day，trees are a good starting point，but we still have so much to learn about how well they work to cool down our hottest cities.

（1）What does the underlined word "toll" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Cost.
B．Turn.
C．Time.
D．Place.
（2）What is the author's attitude to planting trees to cool cities？
A．Unconcerned.
B．Dissatisfied.
C．Supportive.
D．Confident.
（3）What is the biggest problem of planting trees in cities？
A．Skills of planting trees.
B．Space for planting trees.
C．The high canopy coverage.
D．The unsure tree ownership.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Heating Cities in the United States
B．A "Green" Solution to Climate Change
C．A Typical Blind Faith in Planting Trees
D．Problems of the Measure to Cool Hot Cities

205387. （2020•西安中学•高三上期末） Many Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air，especially when it reaches critical pollution levels，but one local entrepreneur decided that canning（灌装） and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea．Believe it or not，he was right．
   After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France，Canada or Australia and selling it in China，Dominic Johnson-Hill，a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 souvenir shop，decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad．
   "I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia，so I thought it was time to push business the other way，" the entrepreneur said． "They're perfect gifts!What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing？A roast duck？A Plastered T-shirt？These cans are light，portable，you can just imagine someone' s face when they unwrap （打开） it for Christmas．"
   The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of iconic city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents： "a unique mix of nitrogen，oxygen and some other stuff"．The ironic （讽刺的） souvenirs cost 28 RMB （US ＄4）and are available at the Plastered 8 shop，as well as on its online shop．But if you're actually considering buying some，you'd better ask shop in advance，as they are virtually flying off the shelves．Johnson-Hill said that hiop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day．
   Personally，the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions．Yet one thing that' s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing，as the cans are labeled as "Made in Shenzhen"．There's a big chance that's just a kind of Plastered 8 humor，as they also list "Choking Hazard" and "May have unidentified objects inside．" as warnings．
   Anyway，it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment．

（1）What contributes to Dominic's idea of canning and selling the poor quality air？
A．Try to get used to it．
B．Sell it all over the world．
C．Can it as a souvenir．
D．Try to push business the other way．
（2）How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas？
A．Satisfied．
B．Surprised．
C．Frightened．
D．Refreshed．
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stuff" in Paragraph 4？
A．liquids
B．objects
C．minerals
D．risks
（4）What can we infer from the passage？
A．There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air．
B．The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour．
C．People should make efforts to protect the environment．
D．Dominic Johnson-Hill likes the poor quality air in Beijing．

219828. （2020•高陵一中•高一上一月） Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can have on wellbeing，the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have made it our problem，not theirs.For example，it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive.In the world of apps，addiction is what brings in money.
   Whether you run a video service，a news site or a mobile game，certainly your product will have an effect on the mental health of your users-negative or positive.But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect，it tends to be the former.The reason why so much technology doesn't support wellbeing is that wellbeing was not a consideration in its design.
   An important area for improvement is notifications（通知）.Notifications are a great example of a feature that's great for the product but bad for the user，since not only do they make us less focused but they also cause anxiety about the things we've missed，a symptom of addiction.There is very little good about an inbox icon（收件箱图标）showing a bright red circle with a high number on it.Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time.One idea is to show the level of unread messages through the weight of the app name.So if you had lots of emails，your Mail app would be very bold（粗体的），but if you didn't have any，it would be lighter.In this way，less attention will be required.
   Though it sounds challenging，finally money will talk.It is possible to make changes to products that don't damage their primary income models.Changes could be made that help us feel be better about ourselves.When a company becomes more wellbeing-positive，they add a competitive difference and become more attractive.

（1）What can be concluded from the first paragraph？
A．Young people can be tricked easily.
B．Screen-based technology is negative.
C．The addiction problem can't be solved.
D．Tech companies are to blame for addiction.
（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "optimizing"？
A．explaining
B．improving
C．discovering
D．admitting
（3）How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author？
A．By removing the inbox icon.
B．By limiting people's screen time.
C．By making notifications less eye-catching.
D．By informing the users of messages in no time.
（4）What does the author think of wellbeing-positive companies？
A．They will enjoy the benefit finally.
B．They will have an uncertain future.
C．They will do good to the minority.
D．They will change income models.

205489. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） Churchill，Manitoba is a small town．The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay．It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers．
   It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight．The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619．That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area． "It was of good taste and did not disagree with us．" That's what Munk wrote in his journal．
   Over the years，the animals' coming has earned the town the name of "Polar Bear Capital of the World．" Today，Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population．There used to be about 7，000 residents but now only 813 living there．There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980．The town might have been in terrible financial hardships．But the growing bear tourism industry helped．
   Today，some 10，000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year．But the reasons why they come are different from before．Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears．Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears，Churchill Bears，are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out．So when the tourists come up，they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear，but they're also looking at a dying-out bear，which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different．Unfortunately，that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well．Come and see the bears before it's too late．

203322. （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．
