217963. （2023•西安中学•高三上四月）     On August 22，two national consumer groups，the China Consumers Association and the Association of China Commercial Enterprise Management，called on beverage retailers across the country to clarify with consumers about the necessity and the amount of ice cubes added to their drinks.
    The two groups said they are launching an "ice-breaking" campaign to urge retailers to respect consumers' rights of knowing，choice and fair trade.
    The groups' call comes after media reports revealed that beverages served in some shops consist of a large amount of ice.In one case，a consumer in Nantong，Jiangsu province，bought two cups of coffee from popular chain beverage retailer Luckin Coffee and found that more than two-thirds of the cup was still filled with ice after the customer finished drinking the coffee.The customer complained in social media，questioning if the retailer was selling ice rather than coffee.
    A customer service worker from Luckin Coffee told the newspaper that beverages from the company are strictly made according to the recipes and procedures，and iced drinks can't be made with less ice.The worker further said that customers may choose iceless drinks instead.The consumer groups said that retailerould respect consumers' rights of knowing by taking the initiative to ask about the amount of ice that customers want，and explain if certain products have to be made with fixed amounts of ice.
    Retailerould also provide choices such as "extra ice"， "regular ice"， "less ice" or "iceless" for customers to choose，or simply separate ice cubes from drinks to let customers decide themselves，in order to respect their rights of choice，the groups said.
    Moreover，retailerould be veracious in promoting their products and clearly mark that customers can ask for iceless drinks，the groups said，adding that they must reply in time if customers question about the amount of ice cubes.

202007. （2023•昆仑中学•二模） Around 3，000 school-based health centers operate in more than 30 states all around the U.S.，offering primary and preventive care for students who live in medically underserved areas.Staff at the centers treat flu，asthma，diabetes and other common illnesses.They provide vaccinations（疫苗接种） and screen for dental，vision and hearing problems，and some provide mental health care.These clinics bring services to children who need them most and who have the greatest risk of falling behind in school because their health needs go unmet.
   The pandemic was hard on existing school-based health centers，and，it's time for government a tall levels to recognize that all children need accessible and affordable health care.As lawmakers draw up budgets，reallocate（重新分配） funds and begin a new school year，existing clinicould be able to operate without budgetary fears，more dollarould go to school-based clinics，and more community partnerould participate financially and physically in efforts to bring health care to the kids who lack it.
   Yet most school communities that could desperately use such clinics lack them.In 2021，＄5 million was appropriated（拨专款） to support new and expanded services at school-based health centers.That money funded 25 facilities only—yet the program got more than 2，000 applications.And fewer than half of U.S.states currently fund school health centers.Although the clinics can also bill Medicaid（医疗补助） and insurance for students who have coverage，they need stable funding for operating expenses，including hiring well-trained staff.
   Many existing centers had to close temporarily or permanently during the pandemic for lack of funding.One bright spot is that more than 60 percent of the centers began offering telehealth services，broadening their reach.Getting kids the care they need where they need it has always made sense，and it's more urgent than ever.The time is right to expand school-based health centers to all underserved students.

（1）What does the first paragraph mainly talk about？
A．The role of school-based clinics.

（3）What can we infer about the appropriation of ＄5 million in paragraph 3？
A．It is more than enough.
B．It is just a small amount.
C．It serves other purposes.
D．It includes training fees.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．We need more health clinics at schools

202937. （2017•师大附中•十一模） Many people write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions．Letters to the editor must carry the writer's full name，address and telephone number，although the information is not necessary for publication．This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say．When a writer wants his voice heard，he needs to claim ownership of his voice．Responsibility is the name of the game．
  "People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship，" said social worker Ken Yip， "and this is what is causing a lot of family problems．" When we sign a paper，for example，a business contract or a bank document，the signature is a seal of consent，an agreement to take the matter seriously．Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer's signature．The absence of a signature，they explain，tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply．
   There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons．Multi-billionaire Mr．King donates generously to charity several times a year．He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring，and he does not want his good deeds to make news．In other cases，people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity．Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police，but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime．
   Name or no name？The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved．We all have a name．It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement，a claim or an accusation．We all want to honour our own name，and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say．

（1）What does the writer mean by saying "Responsibility is the name of the game"？
A．Writers need to provide their personal information in the game．
B．Publication must bear the writer's full name，address and phone number．
C．Writerould be responsible for their names．
D．Names are required to indicate writers' responsibility for what they say．
（2）The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may       ．
A．help to end a relationship
B．not get a reply
C．be accepted all the same
D．become a family problem
（3）Some people don't want their names known because they are       ．
A．hesitant to make a donation
B．unwilling to draw public attention
C．afraid of an accusation
D．ready for involvement
（4）The passage is mainly about       ．
A．honour and writers
B．identity and signature
C．signature and responsibility
D．anonymity and signature

202387. （2021•西安中学•十模） A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently.So what is Versailles literature？
   Actually，the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature.It came from The Rose of Versailles，a Japanese manga series about aristocratic（贵族化的）life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century，and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year.Known as humblebragging，it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. "I have too many houses.How can I decide which one to decorate？" and "I thought I lost weight this morning.So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night" are some examples of Versailles literature.The intention is to show off - usually things of materialistic values，yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.
   As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote，"Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）." The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time，according to scholars.In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging？published in Psychology Today，psychologist Dr.Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a "strategy in pursuit of respect" because it draws attention to one's accomplishments in a circuitous way.
   However，studies on social media userow that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.In the essay Humblebragging：A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy，the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. "The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity.People don't like braggers，but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers，" said Francesca Gino.
   So，how can we annoy humblebraggers back？ "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off，" a netizen advised. "And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints."

（1）Which of the following statements is typical of "Versailles literature"？
A．You know who my father is？My father is Li Gang.
B．Got five offers to date.I'm at a loss which to choose.
C．It's a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D．I'm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
（2）What is the psychology behind humblebragging？
A．To win others' sympathy.
B．To earn others' admiration.
C．To show his/her sincerity.
D．To mask his/her complaint.
（3）What does the underlined world "circuitous" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Roundabout.
B．Straightforward.
C．Ambiguous.
D．Double-edged.
（4）What can't be inferred from the passage？
A．Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B．Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C．To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D．If you want to be perceived positively，avoid using Versailles literature.

202728. （2020•西安中学•六模） Six Chinese survived the tragedy of the Royal Mail Ship Titanic，but disappeared soon after．Now a British documentarian，Arthur Jones，will uncover stories and histories of discrimination．
   There were eight Chinese between the ages of 24 and 37 on the Titanic，sharing one 59-pound third-class ticket，but only six survived from its sinking．When they arrived in the United States，they were not helped like the other 705 survivors．Instead they were forced to leave the country within 24 hours because of the Chinese Exclusion Act signed in 1882．
   Some westerners questioned the six Chinese survivors as stowaways and claimed that they survived because they secretly climbed on the lifeboat or dressed as women to board lifeboats．
   But after visiting foreign documents，museums and cooperating with American and Chinese historians，Jones believes they did not do anything disgraceful in order to survive the disaster． "This is not only a story about the survivors of Titanic，but also a story of a group of brave Chinese people exploring the outside world at that time，" he said．
   When the ship hit an iceberg，like other third-class passengers the eight Chinese were released from the locked gates at last，but not allowed to board the lifeboat．Luckily，four of them boarded a small broken boat，and one was rescued by another lifeboat．Another one，Fang Lang，floated on a piece of wooden board in the sea．The only returning lifeboat saved him from freezing．
   To restore their real stories，Jones and his team found Fang Lang's son in Wisconsin，US．Also，Jones will visit Taishan city in south China's Guangdong province，recorded as the survivors' hometown．The filmmakers also established a website，whoarethesix．com，for more clues．
   Ordinarily，people think of Titanic as a story of rich white people，but don't know there were people from all over the world，including Chinese． "Their stories are never told，" Jones said．

202045. （2022•西安中学•四模） BEIJING---A bullying（欺凌）incident at a primary school in Beijing should not be bushed off as "a joke that went too far"；rather，faceould be dug out and action should be taken to prevent similar events from happening on campus again，according to experts.
   Huang Zifang，a psychologist specializing in children's growth issues，said schoolould be careful about taking bullying incidents as mere pranks（恶作剧）.

202768. （2020•西安中学•二模） Nobel prize-winners，legendary authors，and famous scientists - you might think all these people were born to be creative．However，that's not always the case．
   While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers" - people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life．
   This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States． "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study．
   According to the study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual and experimental thinkers．
   To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks．
   Some peaked from ages 25-29．Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things．
   The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s．These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time．This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions．
   "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg．He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative disciplines （知识领域）．So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic．Your creative peak may be yet to arrive．

（1）What did the study from the US find？
A．Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people．
B．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking．
C．One's creative peak is related to their job type．
D．Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times．
（2）What does the underlined word "conventional" mean in context？
A．Easy．
B．Unusual．
C．Traditional．
D．Appropriate．
（3）What do we know about experimental thinkers？
A．Their talents usually bloom in their 20s．
B．They are good at doing experiments．
C．They work out new methods based on experience．
D．They are more successful than conceptual thinkers．
（4）What would Weinberg probably agree with？
A．It's difficult to find one's talent in later years．
B．More research needs to be done about creative peaks．
C．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field．
D．Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s．

201788. （2024•西安中学•五模）     Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm over the course of the last few years.Some people love it，some people fear it，but there's no question that it's here to stay，and in some cases，help in unexpected ways.
    One of those ways is being piloted in Kingston，in an effort to make the planning and proposal stage of road-building smoother.Software company RedBit Development，road safety construction group RSG International，and a Queen's University student organization called QMIND，are working together on the project.
    "We've decided to do this partnership with all three of us to see if we can do something new in the construction industry，" says Mark Arteaga，president and founder of RedBit Development.They're working on an AI-based assistant to help engineers，architects and contractors prepare proposals for road infrastructure （基础建设） and similar projects. "The AI kind of has all of the information and all the data，" says Arteaga. "It knows which bid or proposal it needs to do or what it's working on，and then the person putting together the proposal will ask it questions."
    For the students，it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get hands-on experience with real world companies，using the tech of the future. "Until very recently，there was a very high barrier of entry to really get your hands on applied AI，especially when it's going to be implemented in the real world，" says Marcelo Chaman Mallqui，managing director of operations for QMIND. "Being able to be at QMIND provides these opportunities for all of the members."
    The partnership is still in the early stages，what they're calling the "discovery" stage，which involves heavy research and data collection to help make the AI assistant as efficient and correct as possible.As for the future of this project，Chaman Mallqui says he's excited to see this project through and pass down the knowledge to current and future QMIND members. "It's kind of learning and living through each other，" he says. "You're able to experience multiple lifetimes before you finish your own."

（1）Why is the project being carried out？        ?
A．To help promote Artificial Intelligence.
B．To ensure the safety of road construction.
C．To assist in preparing proposals for road-building.
D．To enhance cooperation in the construction industry.
（2）How does the project benefit the students at QMIND？        ?
A．It offers them employment in real-world companies.
B．It provides them with real-world experiences of AI tech.
C．It teaches them how to apply AI tech to school education.
D．It offers them a chance to learn from an AI-based assistant.

202919. （2018•交大附中•六模） Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar（花蜜）．But their flight plans actually do have a pattern．Flowers act as the insects' air-traffic controllers．And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren't too flashy．
   Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer．Those clues can be in the color of petals，in the type，in the smell or even in the electrical charge．All of these characteristics send signals to the bees，telling them whether to land or not，among which the colors play the most significant role．The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar．They then visit more flowers of that color．
   However，color can't guarantee bees a good meal．It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals．A yellow follower，for example，may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another．Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England．Glover and her colleagueowed that even when the color of petals looks similar，bees behave differently in searching for nectar．They started to guess that the strength of petals' indescence（色彩斑斓） might be related to how bees find the petals．
   Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab．In their experiment，they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent．The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology．
   "At first glance，it's very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily，" says Klaus Lunau，a biologist in Germany，who was not involved in the study．

202873. （2018•西安中学•六模） A comparison of nesting data recorded in the early 1900s with similar data today for more than200 species of California birdows that overall they are breeding（*1）5 to 12 days earlier than they did 75 to 100 years ago
Earlier studies found that many but not all birds in California's mountains are moving north or to higher altitude to find cooler temperatures in the face of global warming． "The shift to earlier breeding that we detected allows birds to nest at similar temperatures as they did a century ago，and helps explain why half the bird species in the mountainous areas of California did not need to shift upward in altitude in response to climate warming over the past century，said Steven Beissinger，a UC Berkeley professor of environmental sciences．
Early spring arrivals have long been noted by the public and reported by scientists，but the assumption has been that the birds are tracking resources，primarily food：with warming temperatures．plants produce leaves and seeds earlier，and insects appear earlier．
The new study spotlights another major reason：by nesting a week earlier，birds produce eggs and young at a temperature about I degree Celsius lower than if they nested at the normal time in the same place．This exactly counterbalances （抵消） the approximately I degree Celsius increase in global temperatures over the past century．
"By nesting a week or 10 days earlier．birds are avoiding some of the negative effects of climate warming． " Beissinger said． "The good news is that there may be more flexibility for species to respond to climate change than we thought，and not all species may need to move farther north or to higher altitudes．" he added． "But we don't know yet whether staying in place and shifting schedules earlier is a permanent solution，or only provides temporary relief from the 2 degree Celsius rise in temperatures forecast to occur．
Birds may find，for example，that the window of good temperatures for breeding becomeorter．which may limit the opportunity to re-nest if they fail the first time．Larger species that have a longer nesting period might not have an enough time to complete their nests before it starts to become too warm，he said．

（1）To fight against the global warming．earlier studies found that
A．some birds tried to find cooler places
B．some birds failed to nest more than ever
C．some birds began to produce eggs earlier
D．some birds woke up earlier to catch insects
（2）What can we infer from the passage？
A．Early birds catch insects and get tender leaves
B．Global warming is responsible for earlier springs
C．Birds are smart in adapting to the climate changes
D．Birds are likely to have difficulty in breeding ways
（3）What is mainly talked about in the passage
A．Birds' moving north and global warming．
B．Early breeding of birds and climate changes．
C．Changes of birds' life and early spring arrivals．
D．Birds，reaction and early appearance of foods．
（4）What's Steve Beissinger's attitude to the finding according to the passage？
A．Disappointed
B．Panic
C．Relieved
D．Flexible

202482. （2021•西安中学•二模） Honeybees can't swim，and when their wings are wet，they can't fly，either.But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water，they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers（冲浪者）who create and then ride their own waves.
   As with many scientific advances-Isaac Newton's apple or Benjamin Franklin's lightning bolt-Dr.Roh's experiment began with a walk.Passing Caltech's Millikan Pond in 2016，he observed a bee on the water's surface producing waves.He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
   Dr.Roh and his co-worker，Morteza Gharib，used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements.The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee's bodily movement，allowing close examination of their wings.They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle，pulling up water and producing a forward force.Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air.But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down.It's a tough exercise for the bees，which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
   The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn't been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic（半水生的） insects use their legs for propulsion，which is known as water-walking.It may have evolved in bees，they predicted.
   Dr.Roh and Dr.Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees' surfing.One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea."This could be useful for search and rescues，or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean，if you can't send a boat or helicopter，" Dr.Gharib said.

（1）What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin？
A．Roh's admiration for them.
B．Roh's chance discovery about bees.
C．Their outstanding talent for science.
D．Their similar achievements in discovery.
（2）What plays the most vital role in a bee's moving forward on water？
A．The air weight.
B．Its leg extension.
C．The water movement.
D．Its continuous wingbeat.
（3）What does the underlined word "propulsion" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A．Fast flight.
B．Driving force.
C．Pulling speed.
D．Explosive power.
（4）According to the last Paragraph，which of the following isn't the practical applications for bees' surfing？
A．Designing robots with the ability to travel across both sky and sea.
B．Rescuing ships or saving sailors trapped in the ocean.
C．Acquiring knowledge of moving samples of the surface of the ocean.
D．Making helicopters in the shape of bees.
（5）What does the text mainly tell us？
A．Honeybees can surf to safety.
B．Bees help scientists make inventions.
C．Insects can adapt to the environment.
D．Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

202787. （2020•西安中学•八模） Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls．But it might be time to unlearn that training - this summer，a group of culture addicts，artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor's Island．
   The project is called Writing On It All，and it's a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor's Island every summer since 2013．
   "Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons，or they just kind of happen to be there，" Alexandra Chasin，artistic director of Writing On It All，tells Smithsonian．com．
   The 2016 season runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers．Each session has a theme，and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art．This year，the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile （流放）．
   Governor's Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes．Now known as "New York'ared space for art and play，" the island，which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay，is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals，picnics，adventures，as well as these "legal graffiti（涂鸦）" sessions．
   The notes and art scribbled（涂画） on the walls are an experiment in self-expression．So far，participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85．Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing，rather than the text that ends up getting written，some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her．
   "One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls，" says Chasin，explaining that in one room，people wrote down the names of those killed because of it． "People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages．"

（1）What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do？
A．Unlearn their training in drawing．
B．Participate in a state graffiti show．
C．Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti．
D．Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house．
（2）What did the project participants do during the 2016 season？
A．They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind．
B．They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session．
C．They learned the techniques of collaborative writing．
D．They were required to cooperate with other creators．
（3）What kind of place is Governor's Island？
A．It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists．
B．It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles．
C．It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles．
D．It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round．
（4）What does Chasin say about the project？
A．It just focused on the sufferings of black females．
B．It helped expand the influence of graffiti art．
C．It has started the career of many creative artists．

202464. （2021•西安中学•九模） A few plants in the cabbage and mustard（芥菜）family pay a dramatic price to fight off hungry caterpillars（毛毛虫）：they kill off patches of their own leaves where butterflies have laid eggs.Without a living anchor，the eggs wrinkle and die.These plants' egg-killing abilities have been documented since at least the 1980s，but a new study shows they appear in just a few closely related plants in this family - and they are triggered （触发） only by certain butterfly species.
   Nina Fatouros of Wageningen University in the Netherlands and her colleagues investigated 31 plant species in the target family.First，they dabbed the plants' leaves with liquid that had been exposed to egg material from a butterfly species known to lay eggs on them.Four closely related plant species reliably killed off the treated leaf patches.Further tests confirmed that the species with the most distinct response only reacted strongly when the egg material came from one group of butterflies，Pieris，which lays eggs on these plants in the wild.This is "clear evidence" that specific butterfly species could have stimulated the evolution of the necrosis（坏死） defense，Fatouros says.The researchers also tracked eggs laid by wild butterflies to confirm the defense mechanism.The work was detailed in New Phytologist.
   "It's very unlikely that you find this by coincidence，" says University of Sheffield molecular plant biologist Jurriaan Ton，who was not involved in the study.He adds that the plants' relatedness，coupled with their exaggerated reaction to these butterflies，suggests a heated evolutionary "arms race" took place between the plants and insects.
   "This is the first study to my knowledge where they really looked at the appearance of this trait within a particular plant family，" says ecologist Julia Koricheva，who was also not involved in the work.
   Future research could explore how recently the trait evolved，Fatouros says.She notes that arms races rarely end - and evidence suggests the butterflies may be fighting back.Some prefer to lay their eggs in tightly grouped clusters （丛），making them less likely to be influenced by the plants' strategy.

（1）What is special about Nina Fatouros' study？
A．It found the plants' egg-killing abilities for the first time.
B．It pointed out the price plants paid to defend themselves.
C．It discovered a new species of egg-killing plants.
D．It narrowed down the range of the plant-butterfly interaction.
（2）Why was the special liquid mentioned in paragraph 2 applied to the plants' leaves？
A．To see whether they would sacrifice their leaves.
B．To stimulate their defense mechanism.
C．To find out which species reacted most strongly to the liquid.
D．To track eggs laid by wild butterflies.
（3）What was Jurriaan Ton's attitude towards the new study？
A．Indifferent.
B．Approving.
C．Disapproving.
D．Skeptical.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Survival strategies of plants
B．Evolution of plants against hungry caterpillars
C．Killer leaves emerge from plant-butterfly arms race
D．The relatedness of plants and butterflies

202815. （2020•铁一中学•五模） Children now worry more about their parents spending too much time on their mobiles or computers than parents worry about their children．Those who order their children to switch off televisions，computers or mobile phones because they fear they are becoming addicted might need to take a long hard look at their own screen habits，new research shows．
   Almost 70% of children think their parents spent too much time on their mobile phone，iPad or other similar devices，a research found．More than a third of children worry that their parents struggle to switch off from technology and a quarter of children surveyed openly accuse them of double standards when it comes to excessive（过多的） use of mobile devices，televisions and computers．One in five British children say their parents do not listen to them properly when they are together because they are so busy checking their emails or picking up work messages．
   The survey was carried out by Opinion Matters，a research agency for the New Forest National Park Authority．The authority has recently begun providing facilities for visitors to hand in mobile phones，tablets and other devices for fear that technology is invading family life and making it impossible for people to appreciate nature properly because they never switch off．
   Dr Richard Graham，a consultant adolescent psychiatrist and expert in technology addiction at Capio Nightingale Hospital in London，said there is growing evidence that children are finding their parents' preoccupation with communication technology increasingly worrisome．
   Four in ten of the children surveyed admitted that they sometimes communicate with their parents by text，email or social media even they are in the next room．The survey found that six in ten parents worry their children are spending too much time glued to small screens at home but almost seven in ten children have the same fear for their parents．
   Dr Aric Sigman told the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health conference that parents who cannot switch off risk driving them to a lifelong dependency on screens with striking similarities to alcoholism．If so，I think，they will regret wasting the time supposed to be spend on their children before they grow up disappointed．

（1）How many children questioned worry their parents spend too much time on screens？
A．One in three．
B．One in four．
C．One in five．
D．Almost seven in ten．
（2）According to the Paragraph 3，we learn that       ．
A．screen habits are ruining family life
B．parents have trouble receiving work messages
C．children do not listen to their parents properly
D．parents are openly accused of double standards
（3）According to Graham，what's children's attitude to their parents' screen habits？
A．Approving．
B．Doubtful．
C．Upset．
D．Indifferent．
（4）What is the main purpose of this passage？
A．To introduce the mobiles and computers to adults．
B．To advise parents to spend more time on their children．
C．To describe the difficulties today's parents have met with．
D．To compare today's parent-child relationship with that in the past．
