柴油

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

218039. （2023•长安区•高三上一月）     We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel （柴油） vehicles.Many of the world's cities are blocked with traffic，creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides.The solution for a cleaner，greener future could be electric vehicles.But how optimistic should we be？There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.But is that easier said than done？
    The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.Currently，battery life is an issue —a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol.There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course，technology is always improving.Some of the biggest tech companies，like Google and Tesla，are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars.And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too.
    Colin Herron，a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology，told the BBC： "The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries，which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars." These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range.Cost is another issue that may discourage people from switching to electric power.But some countries offer incentive，such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes，and not charging for road tax and parking.Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on，overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.
    These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita （人均） at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that "electric motoring" doesn't mean a zero-carbon future. "It's emission-free motoring，but the car has to be built，the battery has to be built，and the electricity does come from somewhere." Maybe it's time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.

（1）Which statement can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1？
A．Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
B．Probably it is hard to procure a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
C．We should not be too optimistic about the future.
D．It's not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
（2）What does the underlined word "incentive" mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Improvements.
B．Drawbacks.
C．Communications.
D．Bonuses.
（3）According to the passage，which opinion the author might agree to？
A．Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a "great leap forward".
B．There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
C．Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
D．Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future.
（4）What is the most suitable title for the text？
A．Total Electric Traffic：a Long Way to Go.
B．Electric Power or Petrol：a Tough Decision to Make.
C．Petrol and Diesel Vehicles：a Main Source of Gases.
D．Electric Vehicles：a Road to a Modern Society.

[解析]

（1）推理判断题。根据第一段But is that easier said than done？（但这说起来容易做起来难吗？）还有第二段The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.（实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。）可知，作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明通过电动汽车来实现环保或许并不容易。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的前一句Cost is another issue that may discourage people from switching to electric power.（成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。）可知，成本问题阻碍人们使用电动汽车。划线词后面的such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes，and not charging for road tax and parking（例如通过降低进口税来降低价格，不收取道路税和停车费）是对incentive的进一步说明，通过降低进口税来降低价格以及不收取道路税和停车费等措施有助于降低成本，由此可推测出，这是政府给予的激励措施，incentive意为"激励措施"，与bonuses（额外好处）意思最接近。A．Improvements提高；B．Drawbacks缺点；C．Communications交流；D．Bonuses额外好处。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段中的Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on，overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.（一些国家还为电动汽车提供专用车道，超越可能陷入拥堵的传统汽车。）可知，电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第二段The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.（实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。）可知，本文主要讲述了虽然电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。由此可推测出，A项Total Electric Traffic：a Long Way to Go.（全电动交通：任重道远）最适合作本文标题。故选A。

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.

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

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

217736. （2025•师大附中•高二下期末）     Are you a short video app user？If you are ，you will probably find yourself more familiar with 15-second sped-up snippets（加速的片段） of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms particularly Douyin and--TikTok， "Sped-up versions of tracks can help artists break through or go viral，although that initial success may not last， "a radio host said.This sped-up mode offers a faster route to the dopamine rush that social media aims to arouse，leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
    Watching everything at a sped-up pace seems like a good way to take in more content in a shorter time.However，what are the consequences？"So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing，fighting，timing and music，and speeding that all up just ruins it ， "a Reddit user commented.
    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs，not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators ：'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle（微妙的） emotions you put into the work， "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow，I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First，it's sped-up songs and movies；then gradually，it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test ， "a Chinese netizen said，Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks，I would think to myself， "How can I speed this up？"We already live in a fast-paced society，yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush？Some thingould not be sped up，like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down，control the usage of screens，and regain our patience.

（1）How does the Reddit user mentioned in the text comment on accelerating content？
A.It leads to people's addiction to social media.
B.It destroys the particular decisions of the creators.
C.It allows people to obtain more content in a shorter time.
D.It gives artists chances to break through or become popular.
（2）What is one of the results of the sped-up content？
A.Leading to a loss of patience with life.
B.Helping artists to achieve success.
C.Increasing the attractiveness of social media.
D.Allowing people to better enjoy movies and songs.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards sped-up content？
A.Critical
B.Neutral
C.Supportive
D.Indifferent
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A.To criticize people's addiction to short video apps.
B.To advocate regaining patience and concentration in creating.
C.To discuss the popularity of sped-up songs on social media.
D.To analyze the impact of sped-up content on people's patience and call for slowing down.

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．

   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．

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．

214534. （2020•西安一中•高二下期中） Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese，as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites．The first，a World Natural Heritage，is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries（候鸟保护地）along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng，East China's Jiangsu Province．The second，the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou，East China's Zhejiang Province，was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site．
   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．

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

   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"？

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.

214035. （2022•周至四中•高一下期中） Picky（挑剔的）eaters may have good reasons for their behavior.No matter why your child has become picky，how you handle the situation can affect his or her future.Therefore，you should know the following reasons for picky children first of all.
   Neophobia is common in children；it often happens at the dinner table.Some children just refuse to try new food because they don't know what it will taste like，while others dislike new food before even smelling it.Some children take it to the extreme and will only eat a few foods that they like.Psychologist Dr.Elizabeth Capaldi says that，by the time children reach the age of two，they have formed their own eating habits that they don't want to be disturbed by new offering at the table.
   A newly published study led by Dr.Lucy Cooke of University College London showed that picky eating in children results from genetic（遗传的）and environmental causes.The research，which followed the eating habits of 5，390 pairs of twins between the ages of 8 and 11，found that about 75% of the neophobia in the children was from their parents，while 25% was due to the influence of environment.
   Children grow at a high speed during their first year，but that fast-paced growth tends to slow down by their second year.When children are not experiencing one of those fast growth periods，their body needs less energy；and that results in（导致）a smaller appetite（胃口）.When children are not hungry，they tend to enjoy only food they like.They refuse new food and food that is not their favorite.Some children will limit the amount of food to only one kind，like hamburgers or pancakes，leaving all the other foods untouched.
   In some cases，many real reasons why a children behaves as a picky eater exist.About 5% of children who are 10 years of age or younger have some type of neurological dysfunction（神经机能障碍）that influences their eating habits.These children may be easily hurt by some special smells，or their brain may not be able to process such sensory information properly.

217774. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
   How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
   This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
   It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．

（1）Why does the lion tamer use a chair？
A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skills．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．
（2）In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？
A．They feel puzzled over choices．
B．They hold on to the wrong things．
C．They find it hard to make changes．
D．They have to do something for show．
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？
A．Tolerant．
B．Doubtful．
C．Respectful．
D．Supportive．
（4）When the world is "waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to       ．
A．wait for a better chance
B．break your old habits
C．make a quick decision
D．ask for clear guidance
