202386. （2021•西安中学•十模） Twelve-year-old Lydia Denton was recently named the winner of CITGO's Fueling Education Student Challenge，where she earned ＄20，000 after creating the Beat the Heat Car Seat，which is a portable device placed in the car seat that not only senses weight over five pounds but monitors temperature when the baby is in the seat.
   The soon-to-be seventh grader saye became inspired to make the invention after watching the news that babies were being left in hot cars，often by accident. "At first，I thought about raising money for the families，but that wouldn't fix the problem：I wanted to invent something that could prevent the deaths from happening."
   Lydia's device is started when it senses the weight of the child and the temperature setting reaches over 100℉（38℃）.At that point，an alarm goes off and a warning is sent via SMS to the parents.If the parents don't reset the device within 60 seconds，a built-in GPS chip sends a message to local authorities with the vehicle's location.After many rounds of testing with her local 911，Lydia is proud to say that Beat the Heat Car Seat is a success.
   Though many newer vehicles come with warning systems and smart seat systems，Lydia's goal was to create a device that would reach more people and that could also transfer from car seat to car seat as the child grew.She decided to use her prize money to continue making improvements on the device，which would sell for only about ＄40.
   Lydia is now working with an instructor who is helping her with production and teaching her about business.Lydia hopes that her work will inspire more kids of her age to make their ideas come true. "Don't think that you have to accept things in the world.If there is something that bothers you，think of ways to make it better!"

（1）Why did Lydia make the invention？
A．To win 20，000-dollar prize.
B．To raise money for unlucky families.
C．To help stop babies dying in hot cars.
D．To guarantee babies' safety in a car crash.
（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the device？
A．How it works.
B．What it consists of.
C．Why it raises the alarm.
D．How parents respond to it.
（3）How will Lydia's future device differ from other smart seat systems？
A．It will be much stronger.
B．It will be more affordable.
C．It will be less problematic.
D．It will be more effective on older kids.
（4）What can we learn from Lydia's story？

206076. （2016•七十中•高二下期末） My mom only had one eye．She ran a small shop at a flea market．She collected little weeds and such to sell…anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment．During my elementary school，she came to my school on a field day．I threw her a hateful look and ran out．
"Your mom only has one eye？!"they taunted me the next day．
I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to her，"Mom，why don't you have the other eye？!You're only going to make me a laughing stock．Why don't you just die？"My mom did not respond．
Late that night，I woke up，and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water．I saw my mom crying there，so quietly，as if she was afraid that she might wake me．I took a look at her，and then turned away．There was something pinching at me in the corner of my heart．Even so，I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye．So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful，because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty．
Then I studied really hard．I left my mother and came to Seoul and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had．Then，I got married，bought a house of my own，and then had kids，too．Now I'm living happily as a successful man．I like it here because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom．
This happiness was getting bigger and bigger，when someone unexpected came to see me．It was my mother，still with her one eye．It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me．My little girl ran away，scared of my mom's eye．
And I asked her，"Who are you？I don't know you!!"as if I tried to make that real．I screamed at her"How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!Get out of here now!!"My mother just quietly answered，"oh，I'm so sorry．I may have gotten the wrong address，"and she disappeared．Thank goodness，she didn't recognize me．I was quite relieved．I told myself that I wasn't going to care，or think about this for the rest of my life．
Then one day，a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house．After the reunion，I went down to the old shack，which I used to call a house just out of curiosity．There，I found my mother fallen on the cold ground．But I did not shed a single tear．In her hands was a letter to me：
My son，I think my life has been long enough now．And…I won't visit Seoul anymore…but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come visit me once in a while？I miss you so much．And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion．But I decided not to go to the school…．For you…I'm sorry that I only have one eye，and I was an embarrassment for you．You see，when you were very little，you got into an accident，and lost your eye．As a mother，I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye…so I gave you mine…I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me，in my place，with that eye．I was never upset at you for anything you did．The couple times that you were angry with me，I thought to myself，'it's because he loves me．'I miss the times when you were still young around me．I miss you so much．I love you．You mean the world to me．
My World Shattered．I hated the person who only lived for me．I cried for My Mother，I didn't know of any way that will make up for my worst deeds．

214968. （2017•西安中学•高一下期中） Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy（妒忌） of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）．He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）．
The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound．There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito．But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person．Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind．He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors．
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk．Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new．Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel．At the end of an evening，during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time．They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists．

（1）According to the author，people make conversation to       ．
A．exchange ideas
B．prove their value
C．achieve success in life
D．overcome their fear of silence
（2）By"the buzzing of a fly"（Para.1），the author means"       "．
A．the noise of an insect
B．a low whispering sound
C．meaningless talks
D．the voice of a chatterbox
（3）According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighbors       ．
A．about whatever they have prepared
B．about whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To discuss why people like talking about weather．
B．To encourage people to join in conversations．
C．To persuade people to stop making noises．
D．To explain why people keep talking．

215075. （2017•七十中•高二下期中） After a terrible electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why thiould have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．

215076. （2017•七十中•高二下期中） It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29^th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10^th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．
