218440. （2022•长安区一中•高二上二月） Days after Argentina canceled all international passenger flights to protect the country from the new coronavirus，Juan Manuel Ballestero began his journey home the only way possible：He stepped aboard his small sailboat for what turned out to be an 85-day odyssey across the Atlantic.
   The 47-year-old sailor could have stayed put on the tiny Portuguese island of Porto Santo，but the idea of spending what he thought could be "the end of the world" away from his family，especially his father who was soon to turn 90，was unbearable.So he loaded his 29-foot sailboat with canned fish，fruit and rice and set sail in mid-March.
   "I didn't want to stay like a coward on an island where there were no cases，" Mr.Ballestero said. "I wanted to do everything possible to return home.The most important thing for me was to be with my family."
   Friends tried to dissuade Mr.Ballestero from starting the perilous journey，and the authorities in Portugal warned him he might not be allowed to re-enter if he ran into trouble and had to turn back.But he was determined， "I bought myself a one-way ticket and there was no going back，" he said.
   Sailing can be a lonely passion，and it was particularly so on this voyage for Mr.Ballestero，who each night tuned into the news on a radio for 30 minutes to assess how the virus was spreading across the globe. "I kept thinking about whether this would be my last trip，" he said.
   When he made it to his native Mar del Plata，on June 17，he was surprised by the hero's welcome he received. "Entering my port where my father had his sailboat，where he taught me so many things about how to sail，gave me the taste of a mission accomplished，" he said.A medical professional administered a test for Covid-19 on the dock.Within 72 hours，after the test came back negative，he was allowed to set foot on Argentine soil.
   While he didn't get to celebrate his father's 90th birthday in May，he did make it home in time for Father's Day.

（1）Why did Juan Manuel Ballestero start his journey？

（2）推理判断题。根据最后一段While he didn't get to celebrate his father's 90th birthday in May，he did make it home in time for Father's Day.（虽然他没有在五月庆祝他父亲的90岁生日，但他确实在父亲节的时候赶回家了。）可知，Juan Manuel Ballestero没能庆祝他父亲的生日。故选A。

212761. （2025•交大附中•高二下期中）     Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time.He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime，yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
    Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor.It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice.Many would say his childhood was not easy.He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
    But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the1912 Olympics，somebody stole hioes.Thorpe improvised（临时拼凑） by getting shoes out of the garbage.The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
    He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one，the javelin.The javelin was the only event he didn't win，probably because he had never competed in that event before.It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials.At the time，he didn't know that he could throw it with a running start.He threw it standing still and was placed second.
    At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon.He finished first in two events，third in four events，and fourth in two more.Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world.He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn't be stopped and just kept on going.
    I think Paul Dughi said it best， "It's hard to imagine now that proathletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes.For Jim Thorpe，it didn't matter what kind he wore."

（1）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean？
A.The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B.Thorpe's success was no guarantee of a better life.
C.Thorpe's career brought him both gains and losses.
D.Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
（2）Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot？
A.To prevent the foot from injury.
B.To make the shoe fit the foot.
C.To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D.To show his problem-solving skills.
（3）What most likely led to Thorpe's failure to win the javelin？
A.Loss of his own sportoes.
B.A casual attitude towards the event.
C.Lack of experience in the event.
D.A shortage of talent for the event.
（4）Who can Thorpe set an example to？
A.Jack is in a dilemma about his future career.
B.Steve always wants to expand his social circle.
C.Paul ducks his head when encountering obstacles.
D.Richard dreams big but never turn it into action.

213494. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期中） When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah，he happened to live near a copper smelter （炼铜厂），and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on，something happened inside him.

213155. （2023•鄠邑区•高二上期中） In 1901，H.G.Wells，an English writer，wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers landed on the moon，they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met.In turn，the "moon people" expressed their surprise.

   But what about underground cities？Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems，called "Alice Cities，" The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats，offices，shopping，and so on.A solar dome （太阳能穹顶） would cover the whole city.

212799. （2025•二十六中•高二下期中）     Zheng Kelu，the Chinese translator of French masterpieces by Victor Hugo，Alexandre Dumas，Stendhal and Simone Beauvoir，died aged 81 on Sept 20.In his six-decade career，Zheng translated around 60 French literature and social science works，and published 11 monographs and 10 textbooks.Thanks to his endeavors，Chinese readers were able to appreciate many classic French works of literature including Les Miserables，La Traviata and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo.

   Her space dream started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. "I watched the bright rocket flame on TV，and an idea flashed through my mind：China now has a male taikonaut，when will there be a female one？" Wang said.After racking up safe flights for 1，600 hours over nine years，Wang became a strong candidate （候选人） for China's first flight by a female taikonaut.However，she did not pass her final tests.Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder.She always ran three laps more than others in physical courses；she volunteered to be held to the same standards as her male partners during desert survival training，and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. "You can't catch a break simply for being a woman，" she said.
   Her efforts were not in vain.Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013.And more notably，she earned the title of China's first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth's surface.
