219827. （2020•高陵一中•高一上一月） Halloween is my favorite holiday because you don't have to buy anyone presents，but you get to dress up as whoever you want to be，all while getting free candy.Unfortunately，as I get older，I notice fewer trick-or-treaters at my door.Some Halloween traditions，especially the tradition of trick-or-treating，seem to be dying out.
   I remember starting high school and still wanting to go trick-or-treating，but I wasn't supposed to.But now kids who are still young enough to go trick-or-treating seem like they don't even want to go.They either doubt they're cool to get dressed up，their parents are too worried about poisoned candy or bad people，or they're simply too lazy.There are simple solutions to the first two.There are always cool clothes，and parents can easily accompany their children to provide safety，as well as to inspect the candy that's handed out.I just wish people would get out and trick-or-treat like they used to，even though that means having parents and teenagers knocking at my door.
   Money could be another potential reason for reducing the desire to go trick-or-treating.I understand that the rule is that you have to dress up to get candy and some clothes can be expensive.But there are many inexpensive ideas.All you need is makeup（化妆品）and brown or green clothes to be a goddess or an animal.At the dollar store，there are plastic swords and suits of armor if you want to be a knight（骑士）.You can also use makeup to be basically anything：a vampire（吸血鬼），a skeleton，Frankenstein，a werewolf，a zombie.
   Watching Halloween movies and passing out candy on my doorstep is fine enough，but I do wish more kids would knock on my door.

（1）What makes the author disappointed？
A．Halloween seems to be dying out.
B．Trick-or-treating is becoming unpopular.
C．Parents consider candy to be unhealthy for kids.
D．High school students are not allowed to play trick or-treating.

A．Choosing inexpensive clothes.
B．Educating teenagers about safety.
C．Just knocking on the author's door.
D．Playing trick-or-treating together with adults.
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A．Money shouldn't be an excuse.
B．Getting suitable clothes is a big challenge.
C．You can dress up as whoever you want to be.
D．Few people have the desire to go trick or treating.
（4）Which of the following statements would the author agree with？

（1）B.推理判断题。根据第一段句子Some Halloween traditions，especially the tradition of trick﹣or﹣treating，seem to be dying out.Unfortunately，as I get older，I notice fewer trick﹣or﹣treaters at my door.不幸的是，随着我年龄的增长，我注意到在我家门口捣蛋的人越来越少了。一些万圣节传统，尤其是不给糖就捣蛋的传统，似乎正在逐渐消失。这应该是让作者感到失望的原因。所以选B.
（2）D.细节理解题。根据第二句子parents can easily accompany their children to provide safety，as well as to inspect the candy that's handed out.父母可以很容易地陪着他们的孩子以提供安全，以及检查分发的糖果。可见其中的解决办法就是父母陪着孩子玩trick﹣or﹣treating ，所以选D.

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.

The more we pulled together，the closer we got.I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt for years.

"No matter where we live I will be happy-as long as I have you，" I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying that.In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said "I do".

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

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.

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." With her simple suggestion，his face showed that he waocked by his own lack of common sense，well，of course it would!He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water.Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee.Mom smiled as Jerry did so.
   Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten.She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.
   The lasting memories don't necessarily come from major moments in life.Memories are often made during those small，ordinary moments.Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones!

214551. （2019•长安五中•高三上期中） At your next meeting，wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts．
   Among English speakers，chances are that it will be a second or two at most．But while this pattern may be universal，our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures．
   What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said．Research in Dutch （荷兰语） and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds，people start to feel uneasy．In contrast，a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds-nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings．
   In Japan，it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all．It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words．
   In the US，it may originate from the history of colonial （殖民地的） America as a crossroads of many different races．When you have a complex of difference，it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life．This applies also to some extent to London．
   In contrast，when there's more homogeneity，perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear．For example，among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with．

（1）Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation？
A．The Dutch．
B．Americans．
C．The English．
D．The Japanese．
（2）What might the Japanese agree with in conversation？
A．Speaking more gives the upper hand．
B．Speak out what you have in your mind．
C．Great minds think alike without words．
D．The shorter talking silence，the better．
（3）What can we learn from the text？
A．A four-second silence in conversation is universal．
B．It's hard for Americans to reach a common agreement．
C．English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers．
D．The closer we and our family are，the easier the silence appears．
（4）What does the underlined word "homogeneity" in the last paragraph mean？
A．Similarity．
B．Contradiction．
C．Diversity．
D．Misunderstanding．

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.

213868. （2021•西安中学•高三上期中） Are you planning to start your next international business presentation with a little joke to break the ice？Well，you might want to reconsider.The story is told of a businessman who gave a speech in a foreign country through an interpreter.
   Without warning the interpreter，he told a joke during the presentation.The interpreter?knew?the?joke?would?not?translate，so?she?said， "This?man?just?told?a?joke?that?he?thinks?is?funny，but?it?does?not?translate?well，and?you?will?not?find?it?funny?at all.So，when?I?stop?talking，everyone?please?just?laugh."
   The audience did indeed laugh aloud，but not for the reason the speaker supposed.The businessman was so pleased with?the?first?result?that?he?went?on?to?tell?another?joke.
   Each culture has different understandings of humour.What may be funny in one culture can be far from funny in another.
   For?example，while?living?in?Chile，I often tried to share great jokes from the United States，only to be met with questions like， "Oh，is?that?a?joke？Is?that?funny?in?your?country？" Similarly，Chileans?shared?their?own popular jokes that were not always funny to me.
   In September 2001，Professor?Richard?Wiseman?and?the?British?Association for?the?Advancement?of?Science created?a?project?called?LaughLab in?order?to?find?the?world's?funniest?joke.And in one year，LaughLab?received?more?than?40，000?jokes.The?following?joke?is?considered the world's funniest joke by LaughLab：
   "Two hunters are out?in?the?woods when?one?of?them?falls?down.He doesn't seem to be breathing.The other man?calls?the?emergency?services.He?says， 'My?friend?is?dead!What?can?I?do？' The operator says， 'Calm down.I can help.First，let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence，and then a shot is heard.Back on the phone，the guy says， 'OK，now what？'"
   If you decide you must share a joke or two in another country，ask the opinion of your interpreter first.Otherwise，the?joke?may?be?on?you.

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.

A．It couldn't get started.
B．Its oil ran out.
C．It was out of control.

B．Because she thought the man might be a bad man.
C．Because she thought the man wanted to get a lift.

（3）Which of the following can best describe the author？
A．Stubborn but brave.
B．Impolite and dishonest.
C．Cautious and brave.
D．Generous but dishonest.
（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the text？

213781. （2022•西安三中•高二上期中） Before the 1830s，most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America，usually ﹩8 to ﹩10 a year．Today ﹩8 or ﹩10 seems a small amount of money，but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens．Accordingly，newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades．In addition，most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience．They were dull and visually forbidding．But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that．
   The trend，then，was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public．It meant any inexpensive newspaper；perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street．
   This development did not take place overnight．It had been possible（but not easy）to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830，but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy．Street sales were almost unknown．However，within a few years，street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities．At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents．But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy，and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny．
   This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well．Some of the early ventures（企业）were immediate failures．Publishers already in business，people who were owners of successful papers，had little desire to change the tradition．It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling．

（1）Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s？
A．Academic．
B．Unattractive．
C．Inexpensive．
D．Confidential．
（2）What did street sales mean to newspapers？
A．They would be priced higher．
B．They would disappear from cities．
C．They could have more readers．
D．They could regain public trust．
（3）Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at？
A．Local politicians．
B．Common people．
C．Young publishers．
D．Rich businessmen．
（4）What can we say about the birth of the penny paper？
A．It was a difficult process．
B．It was a temporary success．
C．It was a robbery of the poor．
D．It was a disaster for printers．
