202996. （2017•西安一中•一模） The following passage is adapted from the writings of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist．
Any scientist who is not a pretender will admit the important part that luck plays in scientific discovery．A colleague and I carried out an experiment in which little tissue fragments（组织碎片），which were very difficult to work with，were injected into mice of different DNA strains．If we had been more experienced，we would have injected only white blood cells （which would have been easier to handle） into the mice．We now know that if we had done this，we would not have made the discovery．Obviously，we were lucky，but our scientific training enabled us to recognize the significance of the accident．
It might nevertheless seem as if luck plays a significant role in scientific discovery．However，I would like to challenge this view for the following reasons：we sometimes describe as"lucky"a person who wins a prize in a lottery at long odds；but if we describe such an event as luck，what word shall we use to describe the accidental discovery of a lottery ticket that turns out to be the winning one just on a park bench？
The two cases are quite different．A person who buys a lottery ticket is putting himself or herself in the way of winning a prize．This individual has，so to speak，purchased candidacy（候选资格）for such a turn of events and all the rest is a matter of mathematical probabilities．So it is with scientists．A scientist is anyone who，by observations and experiments conducted，by the literature read，and even by the company kept，puts himself or herself in the way of making a discovery．These individuals，by deliberate action，have enormously enlarged their awareness-their candidacy for good fortune-and will now take into account evidence of a kind that a beginner or a casual observer would probably overlook or misinterpret．
Nearly all successful scientists have emphasized the importance of preparedness of mind，and I want to emphasize that this preparedness of mind is worked for and paid for by a great deal of effort and reflection．If these efforts lead to a discovery，then I think it would be inappropriate to credit such a discovery to luck．

（1）The outcome of the experiment described in paragraph one suggests that        ．
A．luck play an insignificant part in scientific discovery
B．the injection of only while blood cells allowed the two scientists to make their discovery
C．It was difficult to inject little tissue fragments into mice of different DNT strains
D．the scientists concerned in the experiment were able to benefit from luck
（2）The author uses the example of the lottery winner in order to suggest that        ．
A．blind luck occurs more frequently than people realize
B．luck plays a more important part in most events than people realize
C．luck is not the correct term to use when referring to a significant scientific discovery
D．luck is the best word to be used to describe the accidental discovery in science
（3）The author implies that a scientist achieves"candidacy for good fortune"by
A．making careful and repeated mathematical calculations
B．depending on feelings rather than on scientific research
C．performing enough experiments to increase the statistical probability of success
D．obtaining knowledge that allows him or her to recognize important evidence
（4）The primary purpose of the passage is to
A．make a single definition of luck
B．show that scientists discover what they intend to find
C．compare scientific discovery to a lottery game
D．discuss the role of luck in science．

202994. （2017•西安一中•一模） ONE day I saw a TV advertisement．A couple-she in a black dress，he in a super-stylish shirt and tie-was enjoying a candlelit （烛光的） meal accompanied by romantic music．The location？Pizza Hut．I nearly choked on my tea．
"What？!"I laughed to my Chinese friend．"Pizza Hut is trying to be all gourmet（美食的）and fashionable？!"My friend looked confused．"But Pizza Hut is fashionable，"she said．"You go there for a special meal．"
In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says，"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，"but also，"I'm cosmopolitan（见多识广的）enough to be part of globalization．"
Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere are neither fashionable nor gourmet．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing．"I'm hungry!"any longer．In my own case（with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first"date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day．
In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"（an independent café） is much cooler than one says"let's go to Starbucks"，Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations．
Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK；you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste．I do，however，have a confession．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have retreated to McDonald's．Even so，I would never describe my Big Mac as"haute cuisine．"

（1）Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because        ．
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE？        ．
A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food．
B．Branches of Monmouth's café can be found all over the UK．
C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the Uk．
D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant．
（3）What does the underlined word"haute cuisine"in the last paragraph mean？        ．
A．high-class cookery
B．expensive cookers
C．delicious food
D．a fashionable tradition
（4）What is the main point of the article？        ．
A．The difference between Chinese food and the western food．
B．The comeback of independent cafes and restaurants in the UK
C．What makes chain restaurants gourmet and fashionable both in China and the UK．
D．The different attitudes towards chain restaurants of Chinese and British people．

202101. （2022•西安中学•七模） More students than ever before are taking a gap-year （间隔年）before going to university．It used to be called the "year off" between school and university．The gap-year phenomenon originated （起源） with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year．

202957. （2017•师大附中•七模） Body awareness helps children figure out how they can move their bodies and understand the concept of space and how it relates to their bodies．There are many fun games and songs that teach children body awareness and encourage them to move their bodies．Simon Says is a great example of such games，as long as you allow all children to continue playing instead of removing children who do not follow the directions correctly．Children who do not follow the directions correctly are generally the very ones that need to play the game most．Each time you call out an instruction - touch your toes/raise your arms/tap your head，the children are mentally relating the name of the body part to their own bodies．
   Do you remember the game Statue，or maybe you call it Freeze？The teacher plays music，and when the music stops，the children "freeze"．To add an element of learning about body parts，add this instruction：When the music stops，you freeze except for the body part that I call out when the music stops；So if you call "Hands"，everyone should freeze except for their hands，which should be moving．Children love this variation of the game，and it teaches them to listen and learn body parts．
   Listening to songs also helps teach children's body awareness．One of the songs is If You're Happy and You Know It．Although the standard refrains （副歌曲调） tell you to "clap your hands" and " stamp your feet"，you can try lots of fun verses：wiggle your fingers，pull your ears，knock your knees and touch your head，etc．
   Children enjoy guessing games，too．Try giving clues about which body part you are describing．For example， "I am thinking about a body part that I smell with．It is right under my eyes and right over my mouth．What am I thinking about？" To help thinking and language skills，encourage children to make up the clues for a body part．
   Children should enter school with a basic understanding of their bodies．Children programs can promote this understanding by including develop - mentally appropriate and fun activities into curriculum that teach children about their amazing bodies!

（1）The reason why children who do not follow the directions correctly is that they        ．
A．are not clever enough
B．can' t pay attention well
C．have good body awareness
D．lack body awareness
（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？
A．Statue or Freeze can add element of learning about body parts．
B．Simon Says helps children relate names to their body parts easily．
C．Listening to songs can only help children move their hands and feet．
D．Guessing games is a good way for children to make up clues for body parts．
（3）Which of the following games could possibly be beneficial to thinking and speaking？
A．Listening to songs．
B．Guessing games．
C．Simon Says．
D．Statue or Freeze．
（4）The author's purpose in writing the passage is to tell us        ．
A．why body awareness is important for children．
B．which game is best for children's -body awareness

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

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．

（1）What can we know about the flight of bees？
A．They usually fly in a regular pattern．
B．They usually fly without any purpose．
C．They fly to some very flashy flowers．
D．They fly under the direction of flowers．
（2）What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar？
A．The petals' type．
B．The petals' color．
C．The followers' smell．
D．The followers' electrical charge．
（3）What does the underlined word "hypothesis" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Discussion．
B．Method．
C．Invention．
D．Assumption．
（4）What is the new finding of the team？
A．Petals of different color usually give different signals．
B．Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily．
C．Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments．
D．Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower．

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.

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.

201692. （2024•西工大附中•模拟） It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so）．

（1）How did the author find his friend a book liar？        ．
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．
C．By mentioning a famous name．
D．By discussing the book itself．
（2）Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report？        ．
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．
B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984．
C．The author admitted having read 9 books．
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read．
（3）By lying about reading，a person hopes to        ．
A．control the conversation
B．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the book
D．make more friends
（4）What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers？        ．
A．Favorable
B．Uncaring
C．Doubtful
D．Friendly．

201827. （2024•西安中学•九模）     The view you adopt for yourself significantly affects the way you lead your life.It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value.How does this happen？How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and，as a result，your life？
    Believing that your qualities are carved in stone-the fixed mindset-create s an urgency to prove yourself over and over.Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age.Even as a child，I was focused on being smart，but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs Wilson，my sixth grade teacher.She believed that people's IQ scores told the whole story of who they were.We were seated around the room in IQ order，and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework，or take a note to the principal.She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one consuming goal—look smart，don't look stupid.
    I've seen so many people with this consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom，in their careers，and in their relationships.Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence，personality，or character.Every situation is evaluated：Will I succeed or fail？Will I look smart or stupid？Will I feel like a winner or a loser？
    But doesn't our society value intelligence，personality，and character？Isn't it normal to want these qualities？Yes，but...
    There's another mindset，the growth mindset，which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts.Everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience.Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children？That the photographer Cindy Sherman，who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century，failed her first photography course？
    You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning.Why waste time proving how great you are，when you could be getting better？Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them？The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it，even when it's not going well，is the feature of the growth mindset.This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward Mrs Wilson's way of teaching？
A.Unconcerned.
B.Sceptical.
C.Supportive.
D.Neutral.
（2）According to paragraph 5，the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that        .
A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B.achievements can be gained through hard work
C.It's difficult to predict one's future success
D.One single outcome defines our ability
（3）The author strongly believes that we should        .
A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B.See success as a proof of intelligence or talent
C.Focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D.Believe good things will happen during difficult times
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to        .
A.explain the differences between two mindsets
B.persuade people to adopt the right mindset
C.inform people of the influence of the mindset
D.advise people to access their mindset

202149. （2022•西安中学•八模） Adding a baby to a family can also add stress to a career.Now，a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology，engineering，and mathematics （STEM） professionals become parents，43% of women and 23% of men switch fields，change over to part-time work，or leave the workforce entirely.
   The results are based on the career paths of 629 men and 212 women who were full- time STEM workers in 2003 and became first-time parents in 2006，as compared with more than 3，000 STEM workers without children.By 2010，78% of new fathers were still working in STEM，the vast majority full time.For new mothers，68% were still in STEM，but only 57% worked full time.
   For professionals without children，on the other hand，84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2010.For the new parents across all fields，16% of women were working part-time and 15% had left the workforce，as compared with just 2% and 3% for men.These obvious differences make clear that mothers still face particular career challenges.
   "The researchers have considered causes including societal expectations，women's preferences，parenthood and unfriendly working environments.This new study suggests that parenthood does indeed play a role，but it probably acts in concert with other contributors（因素），" says Donna Ginther，a professor at the University of Kansas. "Contained in these data is what type of company you're working for and the climate within different fields，" she says.In other words，someone who tolerates a negative work climate before they have children may decide，when they become a parent，that the compromise is no longer worth it.But that doesn't mean that parenthood is the root cause；it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

（1）What does the author think of the findings of the study？
A．Surprising.
B．Frightening.
C．Uncommon.
D．Unacceptable.
（2）How did the researchers get the results？
A．They compared the career paths of 629 men and 212 women.
B．They compared the career paths of new fathers and new mothers.
C．They compared the career paths of full-time workers and first-time parents.
D．They compared the career paths of first-time parents and those without children.
（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A．New parents across all fields in STEM are less motivated.
B．Professionals without children are more popular in STEM.
C．Female workers in STEM need to deal with more challenges in work.
D．Clear differences in STEM suggest mothers are treated with prejudice.
（4）What does Donna think of parenthood？
A．It is the root cause of the situation.
B．It is better than unfriendly working environments.
C．It helps people to tolerate a negative work climate.
D．It is what makes the situation eventually unbearable.

202692. （2020•西安中学•二模） Lego is considering a brick rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste．The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives．
   Tim Brooks，vice-president responsible for sustainability，said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem． "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again？" Mr．Brooks added．
   "There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done．We are right at beginning of that．" Mr．Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources．He said many would "probably never see the light of day" and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan．
   Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment．It produces 19 billion pieces per year - 36，000 a minute - that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic．
   So far，the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane．The green trees，plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced．Henrik Nielson，a production supervisor in Lego's factory，said last year： "We need to learn again how to do this．"
   Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year，with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories．The company has invested more than 100，000，000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives．It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025．

（1）Lego is making great efforts to        ．
