219588. （2020•西安一中•高二上一月） I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party.I had never talked with a botanist before，and I found him very interesting.I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments（he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato）.I had a small indoor garden of my own-and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.
   As I said，we were at a dinner party.There must have been a dozen other guests，but I broke an important rule of politeness.I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.
   Midnight came.I said good night to everyone and departed.The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me，including that I was a "most interesting conversationalist".
   An interesting conversationalist？I had said hardly anything at all.I couldn't have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject，for I didn't know any more about plants than I knew about sharks.But I had done this one thing；I had listened carefully.I listened because I was really interested.And he felt it.Naturally that pleased him.That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others，and it makes them feel great too. "Few human beings，" wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love，"can resist the sweet effect of rapt（全神贯注的）attention." I went even further than that.I was "sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise".I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed.I told him I wished I had his knowledge.I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him.What's more，it was all true.
   And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when，in reality，I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.

（1）From Paragraph 1，we can learn that the writer        .
A．was deeply moved by the botanist's talk
B．behaved politely and properly
C．was not in a comfortable situation
D．was amazed by what he was hearing
（2）Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties？
A．Giving attention to all those in attendance.
B．Listening carefully to what another guest says.
C．Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.
D．Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.
（3）According to the writer，which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist？
A．Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.
B．Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.
C．Promising a future meeting for more communication.
D．Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.

[解析]

（1）D．细节理解题。由第一段中的"and I found him very interesting.I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments （he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato）"我发现他很有趣，在他谈及罕见植物和他的试验时，我坐在那儿专注而认真地听（他甚至告诉我关于土豆的惊人事实）。由此可见，作者对于植物学家所说的感到很惊奇。故选D．
（2）A．推理判断题。由第二段中的"but I broke an important rule of politeness.I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist"但我违反了一条重要的礼貌规则，我忽视其他人，与植物学家聊了几个小时。由此可知，作者认为，忽略其他人只和植物学家谈话是不礼貌的。因此判断出，关注参加的所有人是有礼貌的行为。故选A．
（3）B．推理判断题。根据最后一段"And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when，in reality，I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk."当我在现实中，成为好的倾听者，并鼓励他继续说时，我使他认为我是一个健谈者。由此可知，健谈的人会认真听，并鼓励说话者继续。因此判断出，B选项"认真听，鼓励对方继续"是健谈的人的特征。故选B．

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

213629. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期中） An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight．But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there，and I am proud to be the one to hold it．About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard，and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer．But after a page or two I found myself reading，really reading．Here was-here is-a masterpiece in which every sentence counts，a book packed with significant thought and beautiful，arresting phrases，the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist．
   To appreciate the rich variety of Mr．Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry．But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his power．Here are combined and blended（混合的） sort of "realism" and almost lyric（抒情的） imagery and rhythm．The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents；they fall in love，marry，work，fail，succeed，and die．But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars，Mr．Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose（散文） without violating its proper "other harmony．"
   Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers （Mr．Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first）：
   Where was he？One tiny upright speck of flesh，less than an ear of wheat lost in the field．He could not bear it．On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him，so tiny a spark，into extinction，and yet，almost nothing，he could not be extinct．Night，in which everything was lost，went reaching out，beyond stars and sun，stars and sun，a few bright grains，went spinning round for terror，and holding each other in embrace，there in the darkness that outpassed them all，and left them tiny and daunted（气馁）．So much，and himself，infinitesimal，at the core a nothingness，and yet not nothing．
   Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story．I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you．Some are enthusiastic and impressive，like the paragraph above；others are keen， "realistic" observations of things and people．In one of his books Mr．Lawrence makes a character say，or think，that life is "mixed．" That indicates his philosophy and his method．He blends the accurately literal and trivial（琐碎的） with the extremely poetic．
   To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision，we must go back to two older novelists，Hardy and Meredith．I do not mean that Mr．Lawrence derives（源于） immediately from them or，indeed，that he is clearly the disciple（弟子） of any master．I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature（名望） of Hardy and Meredith，and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company．When I first tried to express this comparison，this connection，I was contradicted by a fellow-critic，who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr．Lawrence cannot resemble both．To be sure，nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons，nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another．An artist's mastery consists in his difference from other masters．But to refer a young man of genius to an older one，at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality，is a fair，if not very superior，method of praising him．

（1）The underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to        ．
A．meaningful
B．unnecessary
C．fundamental
D．unbelievable
（2）What does the author want to illustrate by including one paragraph from Sons and Lovers？
A．The plot of the novel has little to do with daily life．
B．It is wise to read Lawrence's books from the end．
C．Lawrence is capable of telling good stories．
D．The language in Lawrence's books is elegant．
（3）Who were Hardy and Meredith？
A．They taught Lawrence literature when he was young．
B．They were the realistic novelists of Lawrence's time．
C．They were novelists who resemble each other in writing．
D．They were novelists combining details with imagination．
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To introduce Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers．
B．To show his experiences of reading classics．
C．To analyze Lawrence's writing characteristics．
D．To compare the styles of different novelists．

213867. （2021•西安中学•高三上期中） I was in Houston a few weeks ago，and needed to be back home in Austin by midmorning the next day.Though I usually left in the evening，for some reason last time I had to choose to set off after midnight.
   I was on my way back to Austin when I realized I left an important file，and knew I had to return to get it.I took the first exit I could，but when I rounded the corner，an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane.I swerved to avoid it，and then I realized that there was something wrong with my car.So I pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3：15 am.I've lived in urban areas most of my life.I'm fairly street-wise and don't become frightened easily，but I knew I was in a pretty tough neighborhood.
   There was no one in Houston to pick me up.I immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck.Soon a young man knocked on my driver's side window and asked if he could help me.Judging from his appearance，he was far from a mad man，but I knew he was far more likely to rob than help me.So I lied to him.After a while，he asked again，but this time I politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute.He finally said， "Madam，you need help.A tow truck in Houston will arrive anywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never （which I knew was true），and you aren't going anywhere until you change your flat tire."
   After considering thoroughly，I got out.He looked surprised，but got right to work.He changed the tire，returned the seat to its place and said， "Thank you for letting me help you.You gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me.Would it be okay if I gave you a hug？" When I recovered，I gave him a giant hug.I left with a new tire and a renewed faith in human nature.

There is a silence，and then a shot is heard.Back on the phone，the guy says， 'OK，now what？'"

213869. （2021•西安中学•高三上期中） How wonderful would it be if new technology could help the physically challenged？A smart wearable device that enables people with speaking disabilities to communicate normally is giving hope to those without a voice.
   Tao Luqi，a research fellow at Chongqing University，used a material called graphene to produce an artificial throat with a tiny sensor that allows people with speech impairments to speak normally，according to a paper published in Nature Communications in 2017.Tao has continued his work on the device for the last four years.
   Although it's a tiny mechanical sensor，it can work wonders.The device can detect weak vibrations and can produce sounds across a wide spectrum，from 100 Hz to 40 kHz，China Daily reported.Humans can detect sounds in a frequency range from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
"Although the speaking impaired people can't speak，their throats can vibrate，" Tao told The Paper. "If I put a device made of graphene into the throat of a person，it can detect the vibrations and make sounds using electrical signals."
   Even whispers，screams and coughs at different frequencies can be recorded and encoded by the device，and it can arrange them into groups.When the device detects the sounds in a particular group，it will reproduce the words，phrases or sentences，according to Tao.
   "But the speaking impaired people need to classify their own language sounds in groups and memorize them，just like typing keys on a keyboard，" Tao said.
   Tao's artificial throat has brought the possibilities of graphene to reality.It's been 17 years since the discovery of graphene，and the world has been waiting for the "wonder material" to provide groundbreaking innovations.At only the width of an atom，graphene is the thinnest material known to humans – and also the strongest.The material is also an efficient conductor of heat and electricity，and is ultra-lightweight，China Daily reported.
   "Graphene really does have fantastic properties and its potential is huge，" said Khasha Ghaffarzadeh，a director at UK-based research consultancy IDTechEx.
   China has emerged as a key country for graphene production.Around 3，000 Chinese companies are exploring uses for graphene，according to government statistics in 2018，while half of the world's graphene-related patents have been filed in China，according to China Daily.
   "It's a brand-new science，and China is trying to take the lead，" said Neill Ricketts，chief executive at Versarien，a UK-based advanced material company.

（1）How does the artificial throat give those who are speaking impaired the ability to speak？
A．It makes their throat vibrate.
B．It transforms vibrations into readable words.
C．It detects sounds normal people cannot hear.
D．It makes sounds based on the vibrations it detects.
（2）What do the speaking impaired people need to do to use the device？
A．Identify frequencies of different sounds.
B．Arrange the words into sentences.
C．Memorize their sound groups.
D．Type the words with the device.
（3）What do we know about graphene？
A．It is widely used in groundbreaking innovations.
B．It is the thinnest and strongest material ever found.
C．It can improve the efficiency of heat and electricity.
D．It weighs less than any other material.
（4）What is the second to last paragraph mainly about？
A．Graphene's potential widespread use in China.
B．Development of technology using graphene.
C．Graphene-related patents in China.
D．China's leading role in graphene production.

214136. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期中） Just finishing loading his car，my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. "I guess filling my thermos （保温瓶） is all I have left to do，and then I'm off. " Down the drain （下水道） went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.
   With a nostalgic （怀旧的） look on his face，he softly said： "Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom." The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother，who is sadly no longer with us.
   "Oh，honey，I know she's watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face，" I responded，tears in my eyes.
   One morning years ago when we were leaving，mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos.Mom then casually said， " Jerry，if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while，your coffee would stay hot for longer then."

214212. （2022•鄠邑区•高二下期中） It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10 hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone.

214290. （2020•西安中学•高三上期中） When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March，16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
   But still，the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South，and it pains me to see one of them being wasted，" Chen said.
   The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives，but for students，the disruption feels particularly acute.Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled.Summer plans，like camps and internships，are up in the air.
   But right now，many students are trying to stay connected，struggling with misinformation，and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
   For Josh Harycki，17，a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia，the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge" for young people.
   "I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention，" he said. "They were still going out，hanging out with people.I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks，who were probably not watching the news."
   Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge.The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
   Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way，so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant，they're still connected.
   "Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously，but our map shows that you're not alone，" he said.

（1）What do the underlined words "up in the air" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．unnatural
B．uncertain
C．unnecessary
D．unreasonable
（2）Why does the author describe Andrew Chen's experience in the text？
A．To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B．To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C．To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D．To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
（3）Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to？
A．Friends who are worried and bored.
B．Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C．Younger generations trying to contribute to society.
D．Young people who are not aware of the situation.
（4）What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"？
A．To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
B．To convince young people to stay at home.
C．To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D．To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.

214310. （2020•西安一中•高二上期中） Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
   We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start-up fatigue（疲惫） and performance fatigue.In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago，I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical（按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule works.
   Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again.In such a situation，I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.
   When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica （《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after day I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.
   One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me.Relieved，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
   An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
   Human beings，I believe，must try to succeed.Success，then，means never feeling tired.

（1）People with start-up fatigue are most likely to        .
A．work hard
B．delay tasks
C．seek help
D．accept failure
（2）What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue？
A．Dealing with the hardest task first.
B．Building up physical strength.
C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.
D．Writing essays in strict order.
（3）On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue？
A．Before starting a difficult task.
B．After finding a way out.
C．If the job is rather boring.
D．When all the solutions fail.
（4）What could be the best title for the passage？
A．Success Is Built upon Failure
B．How to Handle Performance Fatigue
C．Getting over Fatigue：A Way to Success
D．Fatigue：An Early Sign of Health Problem
