219828. （2020•高陵一中•高一上一月） Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can have on wellbeing，the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have made it our problem，not theirs.For example，it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive.In the world of apps，addiction is what brings in money.
   Whether you run a video service，a news site or a mobile game，certainly your product will have an effect on the mental health of your users-negative or positive.But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect，it tends to be the former.The reason why so much technology doesn't support wellbeing is that wellbeing was not a consideration in its design.
   An important area for improvement is notifications（通知）.Notifications are a great example of a feature that's great for the product but bad for the user，since not only do they make us less focused but they also cause anxiety about the things we've missed，a symptom of addiction.There is very little good about an inbox icon（收件箱图标）showing a bright red circle with a high number on it.Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time.One idea is to show the level of unread messages through the weight of the app name.So if you had lots of emails，your Mail app would be very bold（粗体的），but if you didn't have any，it would be lighter.In this way，less attention will be required.
   Though it sounds challenging，finally money will talk.It is possible to make changes to products that don't damage their primary income models.Changes could be made that help us feel be better about ourselves.When a company becomes more wellbeing-positive，they add a competitive difference and become more attractive.

（1）What can be concluded from the first paragraph？
A．Young people can be tricked easily.
B．Screen-based technology is negative.
C．The addiction problem can't be solved.
D．Tech companies are to blame for addiction.
（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "optimizing"？
A．explaining
B．improving
C．discovering
D．admitting
（3）How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author？
A．By removing the inbox icon.
B．By limiting people's screen time.
C．By making notifications less eye-catching.
D．By informing the users of messages in no time.
（4）What does the author think of wellbeing-positive companies？
A．They will enjoy the benefit finally.
B．They will have an uncertain future.
C．They will do good to the minority.
D．They will change income models.

（1）D．细节理解题。根据第一段For example，it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive.In the world of apps，addiction is what brings in money.例如，当简单的事实是他们被设计成会上瘾时，我们就责怪年轻人沉迷于他们的应用程序是可笑的。在应用程序世界中，成瘾才是赚钱的原因。可知，科技公司应为成瘾而负责。故选D．
（2）B．细节理解题。根据第二段Whether you run a video service，a news site or a mobile game，certainly your product will have an effect on the mental health of your users﹣negative or positive.But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect，it tends to be former.无论您是运行视频服务，新闻网站还是手机游戏，都肯定会对您的用户的心理健康产生负面或正面的影响。但是可悲的现实是，如果您没有优化该效果，那么它往往是前者。可知，如果使用者没有改善幸福感，往往会变得悲观。所以划线词的意思是"改善"。A.explaining解释；B.improving改善；C.discovering发现；D.admitting承认。故选B．
（3）C.细节理解题。根据第四段 Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time.通过不实时显示通知，可以使通知更加友好。可知，应用程序通过减少通知的醒目性降低作者的负面影响。故选C．
（4）A．态度推断题．根据最后一段When a company becomes more well﹣being﹣positive，they add a competitive difference and become more attractive.当一家公司变得更积极时，它们就会增加竞争差异并变得更具吸引力。可知，作者认为积极的公司将最终受益。故选A．

213543. （2022•长安七中•高二上期中） Limiting kids' recreational（消遣） screen time to less than two hours a day，along with enough sleep and physical activity，is associated with improved cognition（认知），according to a study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health．
   The study included about 4，500 US children aged 8 to 11 and measured their habits against the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth．It found that 51% of the children got the recommended（建议） nine to eleven hours of uninterrupted sleep per night，37% met the recreational screen time limit of two hours or less per day，while 18% met the physical activity recommendation of at least 60 minutes of accumulated physical activity a day．Only 5% of the children in the study met all three recommendations；30% met none at all．
   The researchers found that as each recommendation was met by a participant，there was a positive association with global cognition，which includes memory，attention，processing speed and language．Those who met all three had the most "superior" global cognition，followed by those meeting the sleep and screen time recommendation and finally the screen time recommendation alone，according to the study．
   Other organizations，such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have guidelines in place to help with the management of children's screen time．The organization suggests putting realistic rules or limits in place for how long your children are on their screens，knowing who they are talking to and what they are doing．The amount of recommended screen time depends on the age of the child．Besides，parentould also make sure to encourage physical activity and have bedroom rules such as creating "tech-free zones"．

（1）Who are the target readers of this passage？
A．Researchers．
B．Teachers．
C．Parents．
D．Children．
（2）What is the main idea of this passage？

215220. （2016•西安一中•高二下期中） What will people die of 100 years from now？If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology（生物技术）．With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time．Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war．Today's leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories．
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days．But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times．How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide the final death．Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever．But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine．Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs．The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on，in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones．
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future．

（1）According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ．

A．diseases and aging	B．accidents and war

202729. （2020•西安中学•六模） Facebook lets friends connect．They can give each other updates，share photos and post comments．But that's not all．Facebook might also stress users out．
   In a new study，88 volunteers how much time they spent on Facebook and the types of Facebook posts and comments that they made．In addition，they answered questions about their feelings and state of mind．They also offered saliva．Researchers tested it for cortisol．This chemical is a stress hormone．Levels of it vary throughout the day．
   In this study，people with the most Facebook friends，more than 300，had somewhat higher cortisol levels．Additionally，the more Facebook friends that users had，the more likely they were to feel anxious．On the other hand，youths who gave lots of "likes" and supportive comments on Facebook had lower cortisol levels． "The more social support you give to others，the lower your stress hormone levels will be，" says Lupien．
   "This research decidedly combines the social science approach and the medical science approach on an important question in our social-media age，" says Wenhong Chen，a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin． "It's ready pleasantly new to see Lupien's team study cortisol levels-along with questionnaire data．"
   One finding from Lupien's work surprised Chen．Teens who felt they got a lot of support from others also had higher cortisol levels．Usually，she says，those feelingould protect people from stress． "There are many potential dangers of social media use among young people，" Chen notes．So，she says，enjoy Facebook，but be aware of the risks．
   Lupien suggests that teen Facebook userare information with and support their friends on the site．They shouldn't just stay silent． "if anyone is more stressed，it's the watchers，not the sharers，" she says．Also，she recommends that people who use social media heavily should find time to take active walks，to run or to do other activities．Cortisol increases a person's energy． "The best way to reduce stress hormones is to use the energy，" she says．

217917. （2024•高新一中•高一上一月）     On average，young adults in Canada spend several hours on their smartphones every day.Many jump from TikTok to Netflix to Instagram，putting their phones down only to pick up a video game controller.A growing body of research is looking into the potential dangers of digital media overuse，as well as the potential benefits of moderate digital media use from a mental health standpoint.
    A recent McGill University study of 425 Canadians between the ages of 18 and 25 has found that young adults who have more frequent psychotic（精神病的） experiences also tend to spend more time using digital media.Interestingly，the study，which surveyed the participants over a period of six months，also found that spending more time on digital media did not seem to cause any change in the frequency of psychotic experiences over time，said lead author and psychiatry resident at McGill，Vincent Paquin.
    "Our findings are comforting because they do not show evidence that digital media can cause or worsen psychotic experiences in young people，"said Paquin. "It is important to keep in mind that each person is different.In some situations，digital media may be highly beneficial for a person's well-being，and in other cases，these technologies may cause unexpected harm."
    The researchers hope their findings will help improve mental health services for young people.By better understanding the types of digital contents and activities that matter to young people，mental health services can be made more accessible and better meet individual needs，they say.
    "It is important for young people，their families，and for clinicians and policymakers to have scientific evidence on the risks and benefits of digital media for mental health，"Paquin said."Considering that young adults with more psychotic experiences may prefer digital technologies，we can use digital platforms to increase their access to accurate mental health information and appropriate services."

（1）What is the function of the first paragraph？
A.To show findings.
B.To give an example.
C.To offer a background.
D.To make a suggestion.
（2）What is Vincent Paquin's attitude to digital media use？
A.Unclear.
B.Approving.
C.Doubtful.
D.Critical.
（3）What does Vincent Paquin suggest people do about young adults' mental problems？
A.Make joint efforts to fight digital media.
B.Take advantage of digital media properly.
C.Avoid the risks of digital media to mental health.
D.Understand the mental health information better.
（4）Which of the following could be the best title for the text？
A.Mental Health Concerns Increase in the Digital Age.
B.Digital Media Overuse May Result in Mental Health.
C.Is Digital Media Use a Risk Factor for Mental Health？
D.What Are the Potential Dangers of Digital Media Overuse？

217916. （2024•高新一中•高一上一月）     Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven't worn for years but are reluctant to get rid of？Maybe you say， "I can't throw that away because I paid good money for it？" If you recognize this in yourself，then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy（谬论）.It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit.This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits.
    Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey showing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions.Participants imagined spending ＄100 on a ski trip to Michigan and＄50 on Wisconsin，realizing later they were for the same weekend.They were told Wisconsin would be more enjoyable.When asked which trip to take，54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin，because they had made a greater initial investment.
    Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions.Once we've invested in a choice，we feel guilt or regret if we don't follow through.We fail to realize that past costs won't be recovered.Instead，we base decisions on past costs，ignoring present and future costs and benefits.This may be due to loss aversion（厌恶），where losses feel worse than gains.We avoid losses，making choices based on avoiding the "loss" of our past investment instead of considering the benefits gained if we don't continue our commitment.
    No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance.So our society loves to emphasize perseverance.Never give up!Don't waste.But only you know the right path for you.Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all.You might realize a path you're on is no longer the right one or never was.That's a painful realization.

（1）What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text？
A.People benefit from sticking with a plan.
B.People's consumption view has changed.
C.People refuse to give up the past commitment.
D.People's clothes are becoming more expensive.
（2）Why did more than half of the participants choose the trip to Michigan in the survey？
A.To save more of the loss.
B.To appear more reasonable.
C.To make a greater investment.
D.To enjoy more of themselves.
（3）When does "sunk cost fallacy" occur？
A.When we don't follow through our choices.
B.When we don't continue our commitment.
C.When we stop feeling guilty and regretful.
D.When we make decisions based on past costs emotionally.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward "perseverance"？
A.Favorable.
B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.

204537. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高二下期末）     The discovery of the Komodo Dragons is one of the most important zoological （动物学的） surprises of the 20th century.Before 1912 it was completely unknown and it was believed that there were no more large lizards （蜥蜴） in the world.Then，in that year，a party of fishermen stopped at an almost completely-unknown small island in a group of islands.The fishermen brought back stories of a huge，prehistoric animal living there.The island's name was Komodo.The largest of these lizards was over ten feet from nose to tail.Komodo dragons have also been discovered on several neighboring islands.
    Are the dragons dangerous to humans？Yes.A Swiss tourist who sat down to have a rest while the other people of his tour group went ahead was attacked and eaten by a dragon.All that was left was a piece of his camera.A number of other people have been killed by dragon attacks over the years.The dragons can eat up to 80 percent of their own weight in a single meal.Their attack way is to wait behind trees，then rush forward and give a single large bite to the person or other animal.Most Komodo dragons prefer wild boar （野猪） or deer as their meals，but they will try to attack and get almost every other animal they can find，including other dragons.The largest dragons weigh around 150 kilos.Though the Komodo dragons can see well，they do most of their hunting based on smell.A dragon can recognize a certain smell from several miles when the wind is right.They will hunt when they have to，and these large lizards are more than happy to get an already dead animal when they come across one.

219158. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下二月） Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale，but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called "Pinocchio effect" and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie，but actually shrink a bit.
   Dr.Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector （测谎仪） test that used thermography （热成像仪） to tell if people were lying，and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful，the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2℃ while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃.Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink，although the difference is unnoticed by the human eye.
   "One has to think in order to lie，which increases the temperature of the forehead，" Dr.Gómez Milán explained the findings. "At the same time，we feel anxious，which lowers the temperature of the nose."
   For this study，researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology，including making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents，a partner or a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had to make up the lie by themselves during the call，and the thermal cameras picked up this "reverse Pinocchio effect" caused by the fluctuation （起伏） in temperature in the nose and forehead.
   Interestingly，the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects，which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.It's suggested that law enforcement interviewerould one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world，10% more than others.

（1）Why does the author mention "Pinocchio" at the beginning？
A．To tell a fairy story.
B．To warn us not to lie.
C．To introduce a research.
D．To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.
（2）What is true to "reverse Pinocchio effect"？
A．Your nose will grow when you tell a lie.
B．Your nose will shrink when you tell a lie.
C．The temperature of your forehead falls if you lie.
D．The temperature of your forehead increases if you lie.
（3）What can we learn from the text？
A．Researchers conducted the study by interviewing.
B．Researchers designed different lies for participants.
C．The thermal lie detector will prove a popular tool.
D．The thermal lie detector may assist law enforcement.
（4）What advantage does the thermal lie detector have over other lie detectors？
A．Accuracy.
B．Convenience.
C．Privacy.
D．Safety.

219159. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下二月） A study led by Plana-Ripoll，a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark，tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century-what exactly causes mental illness？
   In the hope of finding the answer，scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade，through studies of genes and brain activity.They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brain's decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.
   The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong.The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct，separate categories like "anxiety"has been dis-proved to a large extent.Instead，recently they've found that disorderade into each other，and there are no hard dividing lines.
   The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness.They have a few theories.Perhaps there are several dimensions of mental illness，so depending on how a person scores on each dimension，they might be more likely to have some disorders thanothers.An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general.What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors.Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.
   The details are still unclear，but most researchers agree that one thing is specific：The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work.They are also hopeful that，in the long run，replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments.The researchers aim to reveal，for instance，the key genes，brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology（精神病理学），and target them with treatments.Although it might take a while to get there，they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.

（1）What aspect of mental illness has been puzzling researchers according to the text？
A．Its symptoms.
B．Its roots.
C．Its categories.
D．Its theories.
（2）What have the researchers found from the recent study？
A．There exist links between mental disorders.
B．Brain function has little to do with mental illness.
C．Mental illness is classified into different categories.
D．Genes are completely different in distinct mental disorders.
（3）Which one is more widely accepted by the researchers according to paragraph 4？
A．The theory of genetic influences.
B．The belief of brain abnormalities.
C．The concept of multiple dimensions.
D．The idea of the determined risk factor.
（4）What can we learn about mental illness from the text？
A．Hunting for its biology might help.
B．Its genes are too complex to study.
C．Scientists are clear about its details.
D．Its new drugs could be available soon.

217897. （2024•华清中学•高二上一月） With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
   Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（开发） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on Mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
   The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Modern American society.
B．The creation of constitution.
C．The settlement of Europeans.
D．The exploitation of resources.
（2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？
A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
（3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？
A．Making relevant laws properly.
B．Conducting more scientific researches.
C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
（4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？
A．Opinion.
B．History.
C．Technology.
D．Environment.

217775. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example，discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
   The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors（传感器） printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day，"explained Michael Strano，a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
   One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow（发光）in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start.The technology，Strano said，could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps（灯）.
   In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
   Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed （消耗）in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源） - such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway- a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）.
   Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？
A．A new study of different plants.
B．A big fall in crime rates.
C．Employees from various workplaces.
D．Benefits from green plants.
（2）What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer？
A．To detect plants' lack of water
B．To change compositions of plants
C．To make the life of plants longer.
D．To test chemicals in plants.
（3）What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future？
A．They will speed up energy production.
B．They may transmit electricity to the home.
C．They might help reduce energy consumption.
D．They could take the place of power plants.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Can we grow more glowing plants？
B．How do we live with glowing plants？
C．Could glowing plants replace lamps？
D．How are glowing plants made pollution-free？

204810. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

202596. （2021•高陵一中•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.

202748. （2020•西安中学•一模） Why elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades．A study led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute （HCI），at the University of Utah and Arizona State University may have found the answer．
   According to the results，elephants have 38 additional modified copies of a gene that encodes p53，a definite tumor suppressor，as compared to humans，who have only two．Further，elephants may have a more powerful mechanism for killing damaged cells that are at risk for becoming cancerous．In isolated elephant cells，this activity is doubled compared to healthy human cells，and five times that of cells from patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome，who have only one working copy of p53 and more than a 90 percent lifetime cancer risk in children and adults．The results suggest extra p53 could explain elephants' increased resistance to cancer．
   "Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer．It's up to us to learn how different animals overcome the problem so we can adapt those strategies to prevent cancer in people，" says co-senior author Joshua Schiffman，M．D．，pediatric oncologist （儿科肿瘤医生） at Huntsman Cancer Institute，University of Utah School of Medicine．
   But Prof Mel Greaves，from the Institute of Cancer Research in London，says we should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer．He pointed to the rise of unhealthy，cancer-causing behaviors，such as obesity and sunbathing． "You've never seen an elephant smoke!" he added．
   According to Schiffman，elephants have long been considered a walking problem．Because they have 100 times as many cells as people，they should be 100 times more likely to have a cell slip into a cancerous state and cause the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years．And yet analysis of a large database of elephant deaths estimates a cancer death rate of less than 5 percent compared to 11 to 25 percent in people．

（1）Why are elephants less likely to get cancer than humans？
A．Elephants are bigger than humans．
B．Elephants have more p53 genes and mechanism killing damaged cells．
C．Elephants are not as clever as humans in walking．
D．Elephants eat more than humans．
（2）Which of the following can be the equivalent of the underlined word "suppressor"？
A．multiplier
B．complex
C．restrainer
D．coordinator
（3）What's Prof Mel Greaves' attitude towards the discovery？
A．Doubtful．
B．Neutral．
C．Critical．
D．Favorable．
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Elephants have longer life than people．
B．There is no chance that elephants die from cancer．
C．The rate of elephants dying from cancer is increasing．
D．It was thought theoretically that elephants could get cancer more easily．

219272. （2022•铁路中学•高一下二月） Scientists who study glacier （冰川） ice have found viruses nearly 15，000 years old in two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China.Most of those viruses，which survived because they had remained frozen，are unlike any viruses that have been listed to date.
   The findings published recently could help scientists understand how viruses have developed over centuries.For this study，the scientists also created a new，ultra-clean method of analyzing microbes and viruses in ice without polluting it.
   The researchers analyzed ice cores taken in 2015 from the Guliya ice cap in western China.The cores are collected at high altitudes —the peak of Guliya，where this ice originated，is 22，000 feet above sea level.The ice cores contain layers of ice that accumulate year after year，trapping whatever was in the atmosphere around them at the time each layer froze.Those layers create a timeline of sorts，which scientists have used to understand more about climate change，microbes，viruses and gases throughout history.
   Researchers determined that the ice was nearly 15，000 years old using a combination of traditional and new，novel techniques to date this ice core.When they analyzed the ice，they found genetic codes for 33 viruses.Four of those viruses have already been identified by the scientific community.But at least 28 of them are novel.About half of them seemed to have survived at the time they were frozen not in spite of the ice，but because of it.
   "These viruses have signatures of genes that help them infect cells in cold environments —just surreal genetic signatures for how a virus is able to survive in extreme conditions.These are not easy signatures to pull out，and the method that Zhi-Ping developed to remove harmful substances from the cores and to study microbes and viruses in ice could help us search for these genetic order in other extreme icy environments — Mars，for example，the moon，or closer to home in Earth's Atacama Desert." said Matthew Sullivan，co-author of the study.

（1）What is special about this study？
A．Scientists have found the oldest viruses.
B．The ice cores are from high altitudes on earth.
C．The viruses are not polluted in the analysis.
D．A new way of analyzing the results is adopted.
（2）How do the scientists learn about the viruses in the history？
A．By watching the process of ice accumulation.
B．By studying the layer of the ice samples.
C．By collecting whatever was in the atmosphere.
D．By creating a timeline of climate change.
（3）What is the significance of the study？
A．It tells the cause of climate changes.
B．It warns people of the old viruses.
C．It proves a way to remove viruses.
D．It benefits virus study on the moon.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．Newly-found old viruses in the glacier.
B．Genetic codes of old viruses in the glacier.
C．Novel techniques to date old viruses.
D．Study of old viruses on the Mars.

202539. （2021•西安中学•八模） A new study，published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology，found that communication interactions that included voice，like a phone call or video chat，created stronger social bonds than communication through typing，like text messaging or email.
   In the study，researchers used various experiments to gauge（测量） connectedness.In one，they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other.Although people anticipated（预料） that a phone call would be more awkward，hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.However，people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email，and they did not feel more awkward.
   In another experiment，the researchers had strangers connected by either texting，talking over video chat，or talking using only audio.They found that both forms of voice communication - whether video or audio only - made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
   Sabrina Romanoff，a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City，says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience，as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."
   Romanoff says that in reality，texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message.Each party is more present，and therefore，able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating （认真思考） on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.

（1）What is the purpose of the study？
A．To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.
B．To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.
C．To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.
D．To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.
（2）Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away？
A．Typing a letter.
B．Sending an email.
C．Having a video chat.
D．Texting a message.
（3）What does "a controlled form of communication" refer to in Paragraph 4？
A．A way to talk about controlled topics.
B．A way to communicate without time limit.
C．A way to explain something without delay.
D．A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.
（4）What advantage does making phone calls over texting？
A．Being more formal.
B．Being less awkward.
C．Being more straightforward.
D．Being less expensive.
