218656. （2023•铁一中学•高二下二月） Vegan Agriculture Vegan farming （全素农业） has become more and more popular.It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture.Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. （1）        Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.
    （2）       Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants — that can include even animal waste as fertilizers.On the other hand，vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds，which means that，in general，vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.
    Additionally，vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants，like breaking cycles of plants' diseases with mixed cropping （混作），using mechanical barriers such as nets，or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. （3）        However，they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.
    One of the reasons to invest in vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic （合成的） pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops.By contrast，in conventional agriculture，synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. （4）
    In the future，it is of great significance not to rely on animals' waste for feeding plants.Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. （5）        Even if today's methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect，scientists worldwide，together with vegan farmers，are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers.

A．Accordingly，the amount of it in food products is much higher.
B．It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as an organic one.
C．In today's world，the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
D．But it's also good for the whole world，including other animals and plants.
E．Those ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
F．The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.
G．Also，vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.

[解析]

（1）细节理解题。由设空处前一句Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal﹣derived materials such as their waste.（全素农业是种植蔬菜等植物的一种方法。）和后一句Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.（这种耕作方式不仅有助于保护环境、恢复土壤肥力，还有助于增加生物多样性。）可知，设空处仍在说全素农业的好处。G项"全素种植者也绝不会使用合成肥料。"符合语境。故选G。
（2）段落主题题。本段最后一句On the other hand，vegan agriculture rejects animal﹣derived products and usually sticks with plant﹣based organic compounds，which means that，in general，vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.（另一方面，纯素农业拒绝动物来源的产品，通常坚持使用植物性有机化合物，这意味着，总的来说，纯素农业比有机农业有更严格的规定。）可知，本段在说全素农业与有机农业是不一样的。结合选项，B项"很明显，纯素农业和有机农业是不一样的。"符合语境。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。前文Additionally，vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants，like breaking cycles of plants' diseases with mixed cropping（混作），using mechanical barriers such as nets，or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones.（此外，纯素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物，比如通过混合种植打破植物疾病的循环，使用网状等机械屏障，甚至吸引对立的生物来对抗有害的生物。）介绍全素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物。后文However，they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests. （然而，它们对某些植物疾病或害虫可能不太有效。）介绍这种方法的弊端，且为转折关系。可推知空处应是这种方法的优势。结合选项，E项"这些方式对环境的影响比传统农业方式要小。"符合语境。故选E。
（4）联系上文题。前文By contrast，in conventional agriculture，synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. （相比之下，在传统农业中，合成农药的用量非常高。）介绍传统农业的情况。结合选项，A项"因此，它在食品中的含量要高得多。"与前一句构成顺承关系。故选A。
（5）联系上文题。前文Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans.（这样做不仅对纯素食者有益。）介绍好处。结合选项，D项"但对整个世界也有好处，包括其他动物和植物。"介绍对于其他一些对象也是有益的。且"not only...but also"前后呼应。故选D。

201579. （2025•长安区•一模）     Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode.Title inflation（头衔通胀） has crept into the workplace.Layoffs，hiring freezes and concerns about a recession（经济衰退） are plaguing employers.
   To balance this unique economic environment，employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applications without spending more money.They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates.
    An employee's title is their identity.It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful.In this sense，the policy is a sensible way to help keep staff and attract top candidates.
    But if you don't really deserve the new title，it could come back and trouble you.Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant，well-paying position in terms of skills，background，and previous experience.However，a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers.Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee，they won't waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit.
    Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate，there's a good chance the candidate won't accept.Because most people aren't aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance.Understandably，they would be offended if they received a lower-level post.Now that you are at a certain level，you don't want to go backward.
    What's more，if your current title is too high，it raises red flags.For example，when searching for a new job，if your title is"director，"but the new role is under that level，the interviewer will curiously inquire，"why do you want to go down in title？"There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn't right.They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to downgrade.Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate，they'll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage.

（1）What does the underlined word"plaguing"in paragraph 1 probably mean？
A.Shocking.
B.Embarrassing.
C.Troubling.
D.Confusing.
（2）What can we learn about employees with impressive titles？
A.They tend to look down upon others.
B.Their salaries don't match their titles.
C.Their fear of being fired will disappear.
D.They get a good platform for development.
（3）What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate's title is higher than the client offers？
A.Have a discussion with the client.
B.Contact the job applicant immediately.
C.Exclude the candidate from consideration.
D.Gather more information about the candidate.
（4）What is hiring managers' attitude towards those who choose to downgrade？
A.Enthusiastic.
B.Dismissive.
C.Appreciative.
D.Doubtful.

213430. （2023•周至六中•高一下期中） Shared e-scooters （电动滑板车） are becoming common across Australia.While they may offer a low-carbon option for tourism，do they benefit tourist cities？Our research team at Griffith University's Cities Research Institute partnered with Neuron Mobility to conduct a survey of Townsville tourists between 2020 and 2021.
   We analyzed the visiting e-scooter users' travel and spending behaviors.Though their e-scooter hire costs were identical （一样的），the visitors who rode the e-scooters the most spent most money in Townsville.
   The active e-scooter users completed average 11 e-scooter trips，covering nearly 26 kilometers each while in Townsville.Many of these trips would have been completed by walking if e-scooters were unavailable.But they would have taken longer to complete each trip on foot，thus limiting the total number of destinations visited.Some other trips wouldn't have occurred at all.One user commented， "We enjoyed being able to travel to areas that we would not normally have been to or were too far to walk in a reasonable amount of time."
   Many of these users said they did not need to use a car thanks to the e-scooters.This meant they were able to travel along the streets in Townsville without being trapped in the already busy roadways.
   Across all the e-scooter users surveyed，most had never ridden an e-scooter before，but 91 percent reported they could ride it easily.Confirming the positive effect of e-scooters on both city image and visitor experience，93 percent said they enjoyed travelling within Townsville.Besides，of all the visitors，active users spent more money on restaurants and cafes than the conditions without using e-scooters.Light users also spent a greater amount of money，mainly on shopping and services.
   Henry，an-scooter user said， "The weekly pass was extremely cost-effective.I highly recommend it and I will use e-scooters again." In fact，tourist cities like Townsville that adopt e-scooter sharing are promoting their image and tourism economy.

（1）What will happen to the place where e-scooters are available？
A．Visitors can visit more attractions.

C．To show e-scooters help promote local economy.
D．To compare spending ways between active and light users.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Tourism Booms in Townsville Thanks to E-scooters.
B．Townsville Encourages Its People to Use E-scooters.

220550. （2016•七十中•高二下二月） Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries．Grafting （嫁接） is a common form of plant cloning．Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually．
Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants，so their yield （产量） is more reliable．Cloned plants also reproduce faster，limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting．It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods．Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available．With more yield at a faster rate，farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs．
Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops．This would make plants immune （免疫的） to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year．Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past．Also，plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning．
Through cloning scientists can develop"super"fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality．This could make for a healthier population overall．This is already being done through selective pollination （授粉），and genetic cloning could take it to the next level．
By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases，but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive．While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning，there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation （繁衍） of the human species．
（1）The underlined word"optimized"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by"        "．
A．enlarged
B．produced
C．perfected
D．examined
（2）According to the text，cloned plants        ．
A．have lower yield than normal plants
B．need little care from people
C．resist various kinds of diseases
D．have a short growth cycle
（3）What is the main purpose of the text？
A．To warn the negative effects of plant cloning．
B．To present different kinds of plant cloning．
C．To predict the future of plant cloning．
D．To inform us about the advantages of plant cloning．

205622. （2019•蓝田县•高二下期末） Dolphins are not fish，but warm-blooded animals．They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language．In this，they are like other animals，such as bees and birds．But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals．Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time-at least twenty or thirty years．Like some animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around．They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food．We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw．
   Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people．
   There is a story about sailors in the 19th century．In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack．From 1871 to 1903，Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way．Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack．He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area--except for The Penguin．

203409. （2016•西工大附中•七模） More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence．Wayne Meisel，director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University，said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves．In these circumstances，he said，young people lack confidence，which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything．In spite of the different conditions in China，Li Xuequan，director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation，said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation and corruption．In order to solve these problems，the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favourable conditions for the healthy growth of young people，as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society．Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of"challenge to youth"to many young people，urging them to commit themselves to meet such needs as feeding the hungry，housing the homeless，caring for the lonely and sick，serving the elderly and preserving the environment．The letter says："Through the service，we touch the lives of others and enrich our own．"

203439. （2015•师大附中•一模） Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness（警觉）．paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．
   The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modern society．
   But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．
   When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it "gives us an advantage in daily life"，says Key．
   According to him，when it comes to cognitive （认知的） work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．
   However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted （分心） between noon and 4pm．
   Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2pm，making that a good time for a nap．
   Surprisingly，tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired，according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．
   When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．
   Of course，not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

（1）If we know our natural body rhythm well，we can．
A．organize our time around work demands
B．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
C．do whatever our body feels like doing
D．be sure to be healthy
（2）Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us        ．
A．when we get up in the morning
B．when we are full of energy in the late morning
C．when we are tired in the evening
D．when we are asleep at night
（3）The main purpose of the passage is to        ．
A．criticize
B．persuade
C．encourage
D．inform
（4）Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage？
A．Something About Natural Body Rhythm
B．Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad For Us．
C．What Is Natural Body Rhythm？

203440. （2015•师大附中•一模） About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin （鱼翅），a survey has found．Although the controversial dish remains on the menu at most hotels，Green Beagle Environment Institute，a Beijing-based non-government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey，said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness．
   The survey was carried out in Beijing，Shenzhen and Fuzhou，which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide．In Beijing，132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov．20 and Dec．12．Only 12 hotels，9 percent，said they do not serve shark fin．A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin，Wang Xue，chief coordinator （协调人） of the survey，said on Saturday．In Shenzhen，four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin，accounting for about 5 percent．In Fuzhou，only one of the 40 hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin．On average，about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food．
   "The survey reminded us there is still a long way to go to remove shark fins from Chinese hotels and restaurants，but the improved situation in Beijing is encouraging，" said Wang． "We found more hotels and restaurants were willing to take action over the past year．" International hotels are more active in the "shark-fin-free" project，she noted．China is the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin，which has been used in luxurious Chinese dishes for 500 years．Dishes made from shark fin are still regarded as a symbol of honor and respect，especially at business dinners，according to Wang．

203477. （2015•师大附中•四模） Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain．But they didn't find out in the usual way．
   Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating．The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal（木炭）drawings or painted pictures．Carbon is an element found in many things，including charcoal and even people．But in this case，there was no paint or charcoal to test．People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools．The scientists had an "aha!" moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings．The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made．
   "It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art，" said Alistair Pike，an archaeological scientist at Britain's University of Bristol． "We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites（石笋）．
   When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12，800 years ago，the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old．And some of the animalown，like the European bison，are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old．
   The artists came to Creswell Crags，This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age．At that time，much of the North Sea was dry，so people could move about more easily．
   Some tools and bones found there are 13，000 to 15，000 years old．They show that the travelers hunted horses，reindeer，and arctic hare．Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany．It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away-another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world．

（1）Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage？
A．Cave Art About Animals Is Most Beautiful
B．Cave Art Found in an Unusual Way
C．Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain's Oldest
D．Cave Art in Britain
（2）From Paragraph Two，people can conclude        ．
A．archaeologists can work out the date of cave art
B．radiocarbon dating appeared only in Britain
C．archaeologists are good at using stone tools
D．drawings and painted pictures are really necessary for the formation of small rocks．
（3）Why do scientists say the art is quite old？
A．The art was carved into stone with stone tools．
B．The animals carved in the stone are beautiful．
C．The cave is one of the farthest points in the world．
D．Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10，000 years old．
（4）By studying the cave art，scientists know something about        ．
A．how ancient people crossed the North Sea
B．why some of the animals have died out
C．how humans spread out across the world
D．what kind of animals people hunt at that time

203478. （2015•师大附中•四模） In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity，others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
   I have taught many children who held the belief that their self - worth relied （依赖） on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life - and - death affairs．In their single - minded pursuit （追求） of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
   However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse： "I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．" What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self - respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．

（1）What does this passage mainly talk about？
A．Competition helps to set up self - respect．
B．Opinions about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
（2）Why do some people favor competition according to the passage？
A．It pushes society forward．
B．It builds up a sense of duty．
C．It improves personal abilities．
D．It encourages individual efforts．
（3）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means       ．
A．those who try their best to win
B．those who value competition most highly
C．those who are against competition most strongly
D．those who rely on others most for success
（4）Which point of view may the author agree to
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life - and - death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．

203516. （2015•西工大附中•八模） Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful？This might be called laziness，but Dr．Kleitman has a new explanation．He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle．
   During the hours when you labour through your work，you may say that you're"hot"．That's true．The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak．For some people that peak comes during the forenoon．For others it comes in the afternoon or evening．No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）as"Get up，John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has．
   You can't change your energy cycle，but you can make your life fit it better．Habit can help．Dr．Kleitman believes．Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway．Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to．If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour．This won't change your cycle，but you'll get up energy and work better at your low point．
   Get off to a slow start which saves your energy．Get up with a yawn and stretch．Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor．Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before．Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours．

（1）If you want to work better at your low point in the morning，you should       ．
A．change your energy cycle
B．overcome your laziness
C．get up earlier than usual
D．go to bed earlier
（2）You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will       ．
A．help to keep your energy for the day's work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day
（3）What's the best title of the passage？
A．Change Your Habits

205695. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） Summer heat can be dangerous，and heat leads to tragedy far too often．According to kidsandcars.org，an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US，when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle．
   For Bishop Curry，a fifth grader from McKinney，Texas，one such incident hit close to home．A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car．After hearing about her death，Curry decided that something needed to be done．Young Curry，who turned 11 this year，has always had a knack for inventing things，and he drew up a sketch（草图） of a device he called "Oasis．"
   The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car．If it reached a certain temperature in the car，and the device sensed a child in the car seat，it would begin to circulate cool air．Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology，which would alarm the child's parents and，if there was no response from them，the police．
   Curry's father believes that the invention has potential． "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new，" he said． "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster．" His father even introduced the device to Toyota，where he works as an engineer．The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan．
   In January，Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention．They hope to raise money to finalize the patent，build models，and find a manufacturer．Their goal was＄20，000，but so many people believed in Oasis' potential that they have raised more than twice that--over＄46，000．
   Curry's father remembers the first time he saw his son's sketch． "I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution，" he said． "We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions．"

（1）What inspired Curry to invent Oasis？
A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car．
B．His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat．
C．The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car．
D．The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident．
（2）What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child？
A．It would inform the parents or even the police．
B．It would pump out the hot air in the car．
C．It would sound the alarm attached to the car．
D．It would get the window open to save the child．
（3）What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention？
A．It used some of the most advanced technology．
B．It simply combined technologies that existed．
C．It could accelerate production of new technology．
D．It is the most advanced among similar products．
（4）Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money？
A．To conduct experiments to test the invention．
B．To get other children devoted to inventions．
C．To support a charity of medical aid for children．
D．To get the patent and bring it to production．

205668. （2018•西安中学•高一上期末） After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations - major food sources （来源） for the wolf - grew rapidly．These animals consumed （消耗） large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity （多样性） in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．

（1）What is the text mainly about？
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Tested．
B．Separated．
C．Forced out．
D．Tracked down．
（3）What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves？
A．Damage to local ecology．
B．A drop in the park's income．
C．Protection of vegetation．
D．An increase in the diversity of animals．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A．Doubtful．
B．Positive．
C．Unfavorable．
D．Uncaring．

205640. （2018•西安中学•高一下期末） Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
   Sounds unusual，doesn't it？But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China's high-speed railway system．And that's not all．China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．
   China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge（轨距），maintenance of railway tracks．But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．
   China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．It'll be a win-win project．For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．
   For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China's far west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all．And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

（1）According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is        ．
A．technical issues
B．safety of the system
C．financial problems
D．maintenance of railway tracks
（2）China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because        ．
A．China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions．
B．China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways．
C．China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries．
D．The foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism．
（3）Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan？
A．Critical．
B．Reserved．
C．Doubtful．
D．Positive．
（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．High-speed Bullet Trains
D．International Railway Network

205527. （2020•蓝田县•高三上期末） Almost like a clock tower，a town in the western highlands of Guatemala has been able to practically tell the time by the regular eruptions of a local volcano.In the town of Quetzaltenango，volcanoes have erupted so frequently that they have nearly marked every passing hour of every day for 96 years.
   The source is Santiaguito，one of the world's most active volcanoes.It is situated at the base of the large volcano Santa Maria.It took shape about twenty years after the violent eruption of Santa Maria in 1902.
   "Since then，almost continuous small explosions have happened along with the growth of Santiaguito，" says Stephanie Grocke，a volcanologist. "There has not been a long period of time since 1922 when Santiaguito was quiet."
   Scientists are trying to figure out what is causing the regular activity at Santiaguito.Grocke adds. "What we know for sure is that magma（岩浆） and gas are steadily rising from deep within the system，allowing the volcano to continuously show signs of life，" Grocke says.
   A possible explanation is that before an explosion，the vent，or opening，at the top of Santiaguito is closed，trapping hot gases and magma below.As the gas builds up，the pressure increases and eventually tears through the tops sealed vent，letting out the gases and sending magma and rocks skyward.Santiaguito eventually runs out of fuel，causing eruptions to stop.The materials that were sent out cover the top，reclosing Santiaguito's vent and starting the process over again.
   The sizes of the eruptions are never the same，Grocke say.Most often，they tend to small，producing mainly ash plumes（火山灰） that can reach a height of nearly 1，640 feet，lava flows that travel about two miles from the top.However，there are some eruptions they are very hazardous.
   "At times，larger explosions happen，producing ash plumes that rise less than kilometers above the vent." Grocke ways.Such cases can result in hot fast moving flow made up of gas，ash，and rock，which can be deadly to local communities.Volcanic mudflow are also another serious risk.

（1）When did Santiaguito form according to the text？
A．Around 1806.
B．Around 1902.
C．Around 1922.
D．Around 1942.
（2）Which of the following about Santiaguito have scientists understood？
A．When the volcano stops erupting
B．Why the regular activity changes
C．What is happening inside the volcano
D．How fast the magma and gas are rising
（3）What happens after Santiaguito erupts？
A．The vent is closed again.
B．Cooler gases are produced.
C．The fuel inside gradually increases.
D．More openings form at Santiaguito's top.
（4）What does the underlined word "hazardous" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？
A．Weak.
B．Dangerous.
C．Brief.
D．Similar.
