217962. （2023•西安中学•高三上四月） Lately，I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s，when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing，public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills .The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view，with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.
   And that was a missed opportunity because young children are remarkable listeners.They take in words，ideas and speech patterns，quite often without our awareness.Yet somewhere along the way，we teach them to stop listening.Perhaps they would benefit from lessons in selective silence，concentration，while focusing on knowing how to process all incoming information.Sadly，to the best of my knowledge，no such programs are offered.
   We seem to spend less time actually listening to one another.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as a result of exposure to television，the Internet and all manner of hand-held wireless devices.We tend to be more self-absorbed and primarily focused on hearing ourselves talk rather than listening to others.
   I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone，except my 86-year-old aunt，was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered to get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another.We could just as easily have had an online get-together.
   Listening is indeed a rare and special talent，and one that takes a lot of practice.But once you have gotten comfortable with the technique，you might find your next face-to-face talk a whole lot more meaningful.Simply listening for nuances（细微差别） in conversation will provide so much more context and substance for the words you are hearing.Remember，in order to be interesting，you must first be interested.And in conversation，you are supposed to be listening，not waiting to talk.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward the class in the 1990s？
A．Objective.
B．Tolerant.
C．Favorable.
D．Prejudiced.
（2）What might be a reason that makes us bad listeners according to the author？
A．We have less time to communicate.
B．We have a sense of self-importance.
C．The rapid development of technology.
D．The lack of care and understanding for others.
（3）What can we learn about the author's family gathering a few years ago？
A．His aunt wasn't good at listening.
B．His aunt didn't like attending family gatherings.
C．His family members were engaged in hot discussions.
D．His family memberowed little interest in one another.
（4）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？
A．To lead a discussion.
B．To give a suggestion.
C．To provide a warning.
D．To make a comparison.

（1）推理判断题。根据第一段Lately，I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s，when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing，public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills.The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view，with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.（最近，我一直在回想我在20世纪90年代的学校生活，当时我们在课堂上被鼓励通过创造性写作、公开演讲或参加某种形式的戏剧来表达自己。当我们分享我们的创造力时，我们提高了我们的沟通技巧。这里的重点是如何尽可能清楚地表达我们的想法。然而，似乎所有的口语练习都只是从说话者的角度进行教学，很少或根本没有花时间教授倾听的艺术。）可推知，第一段提到了英语课的好处以及缺点，即作者对20世纪90年代英语课的态度是客观的。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段There is no question that we are a nation of bad listeners.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as result of exposure to television，the Internet and all manner of hand﹣held wireless devices（毫无疑问，我们的国家都是糟糕的听众。其中一个原因可能是，由于电视、互联网和各种手持无线设备的使用，我们的社会变得更加视觉化）可知，作者认为，是技术的快速发展让我们成为糟糕的倾听者。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone except my 86﹣year﹣old aunt was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another（几年前，我参加了一个小型家庭聚会，除了我86岁的姑姑，几乎所有人都在不停地用iPhone发短信或查看电子邮件。这让我很好奇，我们当初为什么要在一起，因为我们对彼此的关注如此之少）可知，在几年前的家庭聚会中，作者的家人对彼此都不感兴趣。故选D。
（4）目的意图题。根据最后一段Remember，in order to be interesting，you must first be interested.And in conversation，you are supposed to be listening，not waiting to talk（记住，要想做个有趣的人，你首先得有兴趣。在谈话中，你应该倾听，而不是等着说话。）可推知，最后一段的目的针对于如何做一个有趣的人最后一段给出了建议。故最后一段的目的是给建议。A.To lead a discussion.引出讨论；B.To give a suggestion.提出建议；C.To provide a warning.提供警告；D.To make a comparison.进行比较。故选B。

201578. （2025•长安区•一模）     Will artificial intelligence （AI） replace my job？This is a question that many people think about these days.At present，the application of AI robotics in professional fields，as well as ChatGPT's abilities to write essays，solve complex problems and more，have heightened moral concerns.
    Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society's most fundamental problems，while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence.These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization，the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries.In other words，AI's progress，functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
    Before AI becomes a threat to humanity，the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play.More importantly，related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.Robots，for example，are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime，which enables them to recognize，understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans，but we must avoid AI copying human emotions.Without legal restrictions，AI may become a social disaster.
    The AI-driven new industrial revolution（革命） is irreversible.This，like previous ones，which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before，will certainly affect human employment.But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment.Therefore，it's unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs.While technology advances at a rapid pace，what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.

（1）Why are some people concerned about AI？
A．It has been applied widely.
B．It has led to social problems.
C．It may outsmart humans.
D．It is the product of humanity.
（2）How can we prevent AI's potential threat？
A．By stirring emotions.
B．By setting restrictions.
C．By blocking functions.
D．By changing regulations.
（3）What does the underlined word "irreversible" in the last paragraph mean？
A．Undesirable.
B．Unbelievable.
C．Unpredictable.
D．Unavoidable.
（4）What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era？
A．Deal with it positively.
B．Accept it passively.
C．Respond to it randomly.
D．Defend it unconditionally.

213002. （2023•长安区一中•高三上期中）     Automation （自动化） was a hot topic.Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread.For optimists，this was a promise of liberation：At last humanity would be freed from constant toil，and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits.But others saw a threat：Millions of people would be thrown out of work，and desperate masses would roam the streets.Looking back from 50 years hence，the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode.The dispute was never resolved.
    A．J.Hayes，a leader（and no relation to me），wrote in 1964：Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous （过剩的）-and thus without value.The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions，and there were also many milder views.But I think it's fair to say that most early students of automation，including both critics and enthusiasts，believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.
    As for economic consequences，worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone.But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation，such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system.In any case，the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
    The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways.In many cases，the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do.Instead we've dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines，and we've learned to run them ourselves.These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation，both optimists and pessimists.So far，automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work.Instead，we're working more than ever.
    What about trades closer to my own vital interests？Will science be automated？Technology al-ready has a central role in many areas of research；for example，genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods.Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician，but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity，I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton，then surely the science writer can't hold out either.I'm ready for my 15-hour work-week.

（1）In Paragraph 1，the writer mainly wants to convey that        .
A．automation results in unemployment on
B．automation does more harm than good
C．the issue of automation is still in discussion
D．automation brings in much convenience in life
（2）According to A．J.Hayes，we can infer        .
A．automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B．automation is a revolutionary force to better development
C．the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
D．the new technology would lead people into working much less
（3）What does the underlined word possibly mean？
A．Put...down for
B．Set...free from
C．Bring...into
D．Take...away from
（4）What can we conclude from this passage？
A．People needn't work so hard due to automation.
B．Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.
C．Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.
D．Automation results in more job losses in the writer's country.

201655. （2025•高新一中•十模）     In one horrible film plot，Al eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories.In another，large language models （LLMs） of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons.
    It is time to think hard about these film plots，not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them.The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative—no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky.Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
    Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply.Regulators have been too slow in the past，but there is danger，too，in acting hurriedly.If they go too fast，policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
    Because of the computing resources and technical skills required，only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful "frontier" models.New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the "handful of companies"，especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book.A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open -source models，which are freely available and can easily be revised.
    The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks，and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources.As AI develops further，regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against，and consequently what the rule book should look like.A fully mature body could eventually take shape.But creating it will take time and reflection.

（1）What does the first paragraph function as？
A．An argument.
B．An explanation.
C．A comment.
D．A lead-in.
（2）What does the underlined word "speculative" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Theoretical.
B．Common.
C．Unique.
D．False.
（3）What is the harm of regulators' going too fast on the AI issue？
A．Competition in this area is prevented.
B．The development of AI is restricted.
C．AI will be applied to a limited degree.
D．The public will be misled about danger.
（4）Which can be the best title of the text？
A．AI：a Real Threat？
B．Don't Rush into Policing AI.
C．AI：Humans' Friend or Enemy？
D．Time for Government to Regulate AI

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

214608. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） When an earth hit a small town，many houses fell down．After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble．
   One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me．It gave the clothing sizes of each family member．I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves．I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，Megan，and three-year-old Meghan， "We have so much，and these poor people now have nothing．We'll shall what we have with them．"

214515. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） I didn't know how to say no，and was afraid to tell people what I wanted．Instead，I got myself tangled （纠结的） in a web of obligations，anxiety，and white lies．
   The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing．I thought I knew how to say "no"-but couldn't remember the last time I had．Like a lot of people，I just wanted to be accepted，appreciated，loved-and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own．
I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do．I'd like to learn Spanish，write more fiction，and travel．These aren't huge，unrealistic goals．And yet，my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires．
   But recently，I decided I'd had enough．As an experiment，I began standing up for myself，even at the risk of alienating （使疏远） myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me．Several days ago，a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p．m．I was planning to hit the gym and then binge-watch Mad Men for the millionth time．I said， "Sorry，I've got things I want to do tonight．" She said， "That's fine．Maybe another time．" It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry．
   Saying "no" is so much easier．If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in，I'm polite but honest． "I'm sorry，I don't think that's really for me．" The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses．
   Learning how to say "no" has added several extra hours to my days，days to my weeks，and what feels like months to my years．I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search，or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know．Saying "no" has set me free．

（1）Why was the author afraid of saying "no"？
A．She didn't want to tell lies．
B．She wanted to make more friends．
C．She wanted to please every one．
D．She was always willing to help others．
（2）What was the bad point of being afraid of saying "no"？
A．She alienated many friends．
B．She was kept busy all day long．
C．She felt depressed now and then．
D．She had no time for her own hobbies．
（3）What was her friend's reaction when she said "no" to her？
A．Natural．
B．Painful．
C．Angry．
D．Disappointed．

214516. （2020•西安一中•高一下期中） On average，American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school，eight hours more that they did in 1981．They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet （芭蕾舞）．Involvement in sports，in particular，rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997：boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports；girls log half that time．All in all，however，children's leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%
   "Children are affected by the same time crunch （危机） that affects their parents，" says Sandra Hofferth，who headed the recent study of children's timetable．A chief reason，she says，is that more mothers are working outside the home．（Nevertheless，children in both double-income and "male breadwinner" households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively．In contrast，children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers．）
   All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids． "Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself，" says T．Berry Brazelton，professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured（unorganized）play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to handle their relationships with their peers，but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it．
   The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing "free time" watching television．But that，believe it or not，was one of the findings parents might regard as good news．If they're spending less time in front of the TV set，however，kids aren't replacing it with reading．Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books，the children spent just over an hour a week reading．Let's face it，who's got the time？

（1）By mentioning "the same time crunch"（Line 1，Para．2）Sandra Hofferth means       ．
A．children have little time to play with their parents
B．both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
C．children are not taken good care of by their working parents
D．both parents and children have trouble managing their time
（2）According to the author a child develops better if       ．
A．he has plenty of time reading and studying
B．he has more time participating in school activities
C．he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D．he is free to interact with his working parents
（3）We can infer from the passage that       ．
A．extracurricular activities（after-class activities） promote children's intelligence
B．most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C．efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D．most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children

   China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017．It only took two years to successfully complete the process．The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area．It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world．The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea．The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species，especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos，go there to hunt for food during the migration season．The birds usually take a month to finish their migration．At about 10 days into their migration，they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey．
   Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application，the Liangzhu application was far more complicated．The application team spent six years making their dream a reality．A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site，which means the application and assessment（评定）process takes a longer time．The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China，which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago．The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China．
   With these two new additions，China now has 55 World Heritage sites，the highest number in the world．The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations（义务）．Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work．The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns．Meanwhile，the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers，some 14.3 square kilometers，makes protection a difficult issue to handle．Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure．Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts，so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation．

（1）What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries？
A．It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea．
B．It provides safe habitats for endangered species．
C．It's located along the coast of the Yellow River．
D．It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds．
（2）According to Paragraph 2，how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds？
A．By creating warm places to produce baby birds．
B．By preventing them from being killed by hunters．
C．By providing food supplies during their migration．
D．By curing the endangered birds after their journey．
（3）Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site？
A．It shows the long history of China．
B．It proves the wisdom of the people．
C．It witnesses the civilization of an age．
D．It reveals the food of the late Neolithic．
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly talking about？
A．The application success's promotion of tourism．
B．Chinese responsibilities after the successful application．
C．The two places' influence on Chinese history．
D．Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration．

214607. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） If you are planning on travelling，there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey．
   First of all，always check and doublecheck departure（出发） time．It is surprising how few people really do this carefully．Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten．My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50．When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed．Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting．
   The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards（信用卡），it is still important to have some local money in cash（现金）．Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed．The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead． "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily．You can image how terrible I felt at that moment．
   The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave．I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day．

（1）Where is the writer most probably from？
A．Britain
B．The USA
C．Italy
D．Greece
（2）When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver，he        ．
A．asked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake（假的）money
D．tried to pay by credit card
（3）Generally，in May the weather in London is        ．
A．warm and dry
B．cold and dry
C．hot and wet
D．cool and rainy

214892. （2017•交大附中•高二上期中） A recent study，while showing a generally positive attitude toward science，also suggests a widespread worry that it may be "running out of control"．This idea is dangerous．
   Science can be a force for evil as well as for good．Its applications can be channeled either way，depending on our decisions．The decisions we make，personally or collectively，will determine the outcomes of science．But here is a real danger．Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference．And，rather than fighting for the best possible policies，we may step back and do nothing．
    Some people go even further．They say that despite the moral and legal objections，whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere，sometime．They believe that science will get out of control in the end．This belief is dangerous too，because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world．
   In our interconnected world，the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science．Without a common understanding，the challenges of "controlling" science in this century will be really tough．Take human cloning for example．Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact（影响）on traditional moral values，some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques．The outcomes are hard to predict．
   Therefore，discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies．Only through the unites efforts of people with hope，can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future．

（1）According to the passage，what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control？
A．The development of science will hopelessly slow down．
B．Businesses will have even greater influence on science．
C．The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future．
D．People will work more actively to put science under control．
（2）The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because        ．
A．scientists have fails to predict the outcomes．
B．the ties between different areas need strengthening．
C．united efforts are necessary for the development of science．
D．people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science．
（3）What can we conclude from the recent study？
A．People think highly of science．
B．People hold mixed opinions about science．
C．Science is getting dangerously out of control．
D．Science is used for both good and bad purposes．

214609. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） When it comes to learning a foreign language，many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary．But this question never happens about their mother tongue，and yet，it was a foreign language once．However，among all the questions that new parents ask，no doctor has ever heard： "Will my baby be able to learn my language？" Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is： "no"．
   New words，and new ways of using old words，appear every day．Twenty years ago，who could have been able to understand a sentence like this： "Click here to download your digital book．"？Nobody．You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it．
   Sometimes，you have the word on the tip of your tongue…and it sticks there!But you do know this phenomenon（现象） and don't think that it is because of a bad memory．You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue．
   You need to learn only 2000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need．You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly．And before you consider buying into any method，be sure it is right for you．It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics（记忆群）．The first few words seem very easy to learn，so you buy the course，but then you discover quickly，though too late，that a dozen words later，it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it．

（1）From the first paragraph，we can infer that       ．
A．there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language
B．it is honest to answer "no" to a question you don't know

214805. （2017•长安区一中•高二上期中） Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour．Aircraft cross the world a day，while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed，this love of speed seems never-ending．
All this saves time，but at a price．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane，our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag．Again，spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers．Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists；too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains，a consequence we do not like to think about．
However，what do we do with the time we have saved？Certainly not relax．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing．Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio，letting imagination take us into another world．
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle．No multi-tasking there；their lives went on at a much gentler pace．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so，we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced：they farmed with bare hands，often lived close to hunger，and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive（原始的） existence．

（1）The new products become more and more time-saving because        ．
A．our love of speed seems never-ending
B．time is limited
C．the prices are increasingly high
D．the manufacturers boast a lot
（2）What does"the days"in Paragraph 3 refer to        ？
A．Imaginary life
B．Simple life in the past
C．Times of inventions
D．Time for constant activity
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology？
A．Critical
B．Objective
C．Optimistic
D．Negative
（4）What does the passage mainly discuss        ？
A．The present and past times
B．Machinery and human beings
C．Imaginations and inventions
D．Modern technology and its influence．

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.
