217915. （2024•高新一中•高一上一月）     In 2016，Portia Putatunda，a former journalist，was sad by the loss of her father."I felt lost without my father，who had always been my pillar（支柱） of support."Her father was dedicated to assisting poor children and firmly believed in the transformative power of education.The deep-rooted passion to help people was also long rooted in her.
    Today，Putatunda runs a free boarding school in Komie.Situated at 15，500 feet，Komie is said to be the world's highest village.The former journalist is now playing the role of a teacher，a caretaker and in many ways a motherly figure to these underprivileged children. "Starting a boarding school was a decision born out of necessity and a desire to make a meaningful impact on the region's education."
    Having spent two years teaching local kids there，she realized that a centralized boarding school was the most logical and efficient solution.It would provide access to education for children from across the region，bridging the gap in educational opportunities.
    According to her，a boarding school could not only address the transport difficulties but also ensure a safe learning environment for these children.Putatunda has been primarily using her savings to support the no-charging school.Additionally，she has received support from sponsors who have stepped up to help cover the costs of some students and the monthly expenses.
    However，there are still some problems listed by Putatunda.Limited manpower，difficulties in construction and transportation，and harsh weather conditions are the major difficulties that come in the way of her mission."Knowledge sharing and finding similar role models in this remote region is also a challenging task.Additionally，Komie's landscape overshadows the challenges，making every breath an effort，"she explains.
    Despite the many barriers in Putatunda's journey，she remains determined not to give up."The unparalleled（无与伦比的） beauty of living at 15，500 feet makes me feel closer to heaven and my father.I long to adopt a child or two and make Komie my permanent home，"she signs off.

205961. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） LONDON（Reuters）--Organic fruit，delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers，and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible，the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
"Organic produce is always better，"--Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides（农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty．"Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting，and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce？Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market，"said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business．

205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report
C．An experiment report
D．An exploration review

SHANGHAI---The Huachen Group，which has put 83 million yuan in the development of the commerce market since its official registration late last year，recently held a meeting in Shanghai to show the use of its newly opened tourism business payment network．The network aims to serve tourists from all over the world，but especially from Europe and the United States where credit cards are popularly used．After opening the www．ehinaeonet．com website，netizens can get information about hotels and tourism services on tourism page．Hotels and services can be reserved and payment made through credit cards．The network opened in February in Beijing．

Scuba diver Wendy Craig，a marine biologist，will carry the torch on three-to-four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27，creating Olympic history，organizers said yesterday．
Burning at 2，000 degrees，the torch is expected to remain alight three meters underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a "fierce flame"--- too powerful to be drowned out by water．Charles Tegner，managing director of torch creator，said the flame would burn like a flame from oxygen-producing chemicals．
BEIJING---The election of a new leader in Taiwan cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China． "Taiwan Independence" in whatever form will never be allowed，according to a statesman of China's central government．

HAIKOU---Customs officers in Haikou，capital of South China's Hainan Province，recently stopped a boat loaded with 781 cases of foreign-brand cigarettes being smuggling into China．The cigarettes are estimated to be worth more than 1.8 million yuan，said a customs officer．They discovered the smuggling boat as they were going around the northern sea area of Yangpu Port．

This is how I experimented with giving away．If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me，I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper．One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back，though the return often comes in an unexpected form．
One Sunday morning，the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my office．I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation．More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting．I was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list．As I was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorway．He had overheard（无意中听到）our conversation．"Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？"I said yes．"Well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you．You don't know what a letter like that means to us．We usually get nothing but complaints．"

215027. （2017•长安区一中•高二下期中） How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change color to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimps．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000 shrimps!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．

214999. （2017•长安区一中•高一下期中） Saturday，October 7th，was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya．Two weeks earlier，her father，a retired official in the department of foreign affairs，had died of a heart attack as he emerged from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya's mother，Raisa Mazepa，in the hospital．She had just been diagnosed（诊断） with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband's funeral．"Your father will forgive me，because he knows that I have always loved him，"she told Anna and her sister，Elena Kudimova，the day he was buried．A week later，she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief．
Politkovskaya was supposed to spend the day at the hospital，but her twenty-six-year-old daughter，who was pregnant，had just moved into Politkovskaya's apartment on Lesnaya Street，while her own place was being prepared for the baby．"Anna had so much on her mind，"Elena Kudimova told me when we met in London，before Christmas．"And she was trying to finish her article．"Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper Novaya Gazeta，and，like most of her work，the piece focused on the terror that can be seen all over the southern republic of Chechnya．This time，she had been trying to report repeated cruel acts done by people faithful to the Prime Minister，Ramzan Kadyrov，who are in favour of Russia．
In the past seven years，Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime；many had been collected in her book"A Small Corner of Hell：reports from Chechnya．"Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield，and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery，and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians-and almost no other reporters-cared to think about．

214701. （2017•西安中学•高三上期中） Every day we are exposed to images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aura（l听觉的）hyper-stimulation（过度刺激），the medium of radio is making a great comeback．
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster（播客）．
Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast．These statistics，released by Edison Research，show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast"was invented in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast sales have jumped．
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities（功能）．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTurns．"I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said，"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts，but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，majoring in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're listening，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．

（1）From the first two paragraphs，we can learn that        ．
A．traditional broadcast has come back
B．Americans love listening to the radio
C．podcasts have become very popular today

（2）The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to        ．
A．tell how young people relax themselves
B．explain why young people like podcasts
C．introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D．show how popular podcasts are presenting
（3）Paragraph 5 is mainly about        ．
A．the influence of radios
B．the advantage of podcasts
C．readers' impression on radios
D．people's reaction to the medium
（4）What is probably the best title of the passage？

220551. （2016•七十中•高二下二月） The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags．Only the basic flags of Austria，Denmark，Great Britain，the Netherlands，Sweden，and Switzerland are older．
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States，the flags of various European nations were flown over the land，as symbols of possession．Later，in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods，flags representing famous persons，places，and events were flown in the American Colonies．
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14，1777．It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue，representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776．Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795 to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union，Vermont and Kentucky．
By 1817，there were 20 states in the Union，and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag．As a result，Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star．In 1912 President William H．Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars．He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each．Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy．
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States．After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959，the flag was officially changed for the 26th times since its creation．There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag．Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies．Each state in the Union has an official flag．The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling．
（1）The basic flag of the United States is        ．
A．the oldest national flag in the world．
B．one of the world's oldest flags．
C．the most beautiful flag in the West．
D．as old as the basic flags of some European nations．
（2）The first official flag of the United States was adopted        ．
A．before the Independence War
B．right after the Independence War
C．in the following year of the Independence War．
D．when independence was declared in 1776
（3）The 13 red and white stripes and 13 white stars represent        ．
A．13 independent states
B．the colonies that declared independence in 1776
C．the U．S．Congress
D．13 famous figures in the American colonies
（4）Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818？
A．The American people suggested it．
B．Congress insisted 13 is the best number．
C．That was a decision President Taft had made．
D．Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag．

205979. （2016•西安一中•高二下期末） All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel．As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations．
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room"，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed．The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest．Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures．To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

205508. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina，but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world．Denmark now gets 47% of its electricity from wind，and there will be more to come，thanks to a combination of history and policy．
   Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century．So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest．Since the 1970s，Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country．In the 1980s，due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants，Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it．
   Even back in 2002，Denmark took climate change warnings seriously．They drew up policies，aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%，which they did via renewable energy investment．Some of the world's largest companies in the field-including Vestas，which builds turbines（涡轮机），and Orsted，which specializes in offshore wind projects-are Danish，so the country has an impact beyond its borders．
   The huge impact of Denmark's wind industry is important．But Denmark is a small country，so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable，it's also minor in terms of entire global impact．
   While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5，758 megawatts （MW） of capacity，Spain's 23，000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country．China is the leader in wind energy at 221，000 MW，and the U．S．is the second in the world at about 96，000 MW．
   At the end of 2019，lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%．

（1）What can we know about Denmark？
A．It is a leader in solar energy．
B．It is a pioneer in clean energy．
C．It is a victim of climate change．
D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy．
（2）What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects？
A．Indifferent．
B．Ambiguous．
C．Positive．
D．Opposed．
（3）Which country produces the most wind energy in the world？
A．Denmark．
B．China．
C．The U．S．
D．Spain．
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Almost Half of Denmark's Electricity Comes from Wind Power
B．Denmark's Government Pushes ahead with Fossil-fuel Projects

205453. （2020•西安中学•高二上期末） A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK．
   The documentary，titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough？focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire．
   The teachers instruct the students for a month．The pupils are then tested，and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system．The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance．
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students．A clip from the documentary online shows some problems，with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline，while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy．
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK，with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline．Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking．For instance，Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters．They should inspire students，helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature．This is a higher level of teaching．
  Yang Dongping，dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute，says， "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority．Foreign teaching methods，however，are more natural and relaxing，and designed to inspire students' interest in learning．Education methods are based on culture．That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place．"
   Yang Dongping says， "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods．Nobel prize winner，Yang Zhenning，gave a very fair comment on this issue．He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively，helping them reach high standards．However，it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students．"

（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens？
A．To test the intelligence of the UK teens．
B．To help the school improve their teaching efficiency．
C．To do some practical research into the UK education system．
