205256. （2021•阎良区•高一下期末） Plenty of science fiction （sci-fi） movies over the decades have shown us different versions of Mars.The truth about the Martian surface might be exciting because it's real.And with NASA's Mars 2020 mission set to launch this summer，we're facing more discovery.
   So far，thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA's Curiosity rover，we've learned that lakes，rivers streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars.While its water disappeared over three billion years ago，it tells us that Mars used to be habitable.This knowledge confuses us because so far，we've seen no clear evidence of life there，not even a virus.But if Mars was once habitable，wouldn't it have life？NASA is now prepared to take the next step to answer this question with the launch of another rover （探测器），Perseverance.Every time a rover goes to Mars，it just stays there，with no way to fly back home.So we have never brought rock or soil samples back from Mars.
   Perseverance rover will change this.Its primary and unique purpose is to collect samples that a future spacecraft can return to Earth.These samples will tell us more about the geologic history of Mars than anything we've learned，which is already a lot.Since 2012，the Curiosity rover has traveled more than a dozen miles，making observations along the way with its 10 instruments.
   Thanks to data from the Curiosity rovers Sample Analysis at Mars instrument，we know that Mars does indeed have organic materials.That's more complex than we expected to find on the surface of Mars.And that's exactly why we want to gather the most interesting samples and bring them back to Earth.We expect to find out much more about Mars once we get samples back from the Mars 2020 mission.

（1）What is the purpose of Mars 2020 Mission？
A．To study the life on Mars.
B．To travel around the universe.
C．To show the power of NASA.
D．To explore the Martian surface.
（2）What does the underlined word "habitable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Enjoyable to visit.
B．Suitable for living.
C．Ready for changes.
D．Convenient to travel.
（3）What was the problem with Mars exploration before Perseverance？
A．The rovers could not reach Mars.
B．Observations were hard to make.
C．Samples on Mars couldn't be brought back.
D．Study instruments got lost in the space station.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A．New Mars Rover to be Launched
B．Sci-fi Movies on Mars to be Made
G．Curiosity to Bring Back Mars Samples
D．NASA to Send Manned Rover to Mars

215029. （2017•长安区一中•高二下期中） "Sorry，but I don't agree with you…"This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears．I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don't want to lose a friend．I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me，because my ego （自尊心） is hurt．
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me，my usual response would be，"If you aren't able to see my point of view，then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration，either．"But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me，sometimee is simply saying，"I don't agree with the way things are done．"She still respects me as a person，and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter．However，there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth．That's when I need to listen to what she says．

214949. （2017•西安中学•高二下期中） Every day，hundreds of thousands of us visit coffee shops．While we drink our coffee，we may connect our smartphone to the shop's Wi-Fi network，and keep in touch with friends via services such as Facebook．
As well as socializing，we may use the time and free access to a wireless connection to get on top of our finances．Transferring money from your account to others'accounts is nothing more than a few taps on your screen．
But what coffee drinkers do not realize is that lurking（潜伏） among their fellow coffee-lovers are bank robbers．
Unknown to you，this modern form of bank robber is silently collecting all your private data．The only sign of his thievery is perhaps a little smile as your bank log-in details appear on his screen．
You'll only realize when you later go to a cash machine to withdraw some money，and discover that every penny in your account has been cleared out．
The common method for thieves is to use your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection．They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to．
For example，when you are in a coffee shop，your smartphone will present you with a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you can use to connect your phone to the Internet．Most of these networks are run by legitimate（合法的）companies，but sometimes they are actually created by a thief sitting nearby with little more than a laptop．
These networks are often given names，such as"Free Public Wi-Fi"，which deceive smartphone users into logging in．On the surface，everything seems normal，and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legitimate Wi-Fi service．
However，because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief，he can monitor （监视） everything you do，enabling him to collect passwords and log-in details about your bank account．

（1）The underlined phrase"get on top of"can be replaced by ．

A．deal with

B．give up

C．cut off

D．set up

（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A．Transferring money from your account to others'is a complex process．
B．It's easy for you to tell bank robbers from other coffee drinkers．
C．Online thieves could steal money because people pay little attention on the network security．
D．All the networks available in a coffee shop are illegal．
（3）What's the author's attitude towards Wi-Fi traps？
A．Positive．
B．Negative．
C．Objective．
D．Indifferent．
（4）What's the best title of this passage？
A．Be cautious about free Wi-Fi networks．
B．The thief who withdraws our money．
C．The convenience of free Wi-Fi networks．
D．The process of stealing money．

215150. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期中） Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
（31）        Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，and scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．（32）
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
（33）        They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"（34）        Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．（35）

A．In general the person feels excited and ready to act．
B．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger．
C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it．
D．Anger may cause you a cancer．
E．Do not express your anger while angry．
F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time．

213630. （2023•蓝田县•高二下期中） I studied English and US literature and drama at university，and like many arts graduates I had highfalutin （夸张的） ideas that I wanted to be a writer or perhaps a rock and roll star when I grew up．When I graduated I did actually spend a couple of years in LA as a session musician．I spent some time managing Regent's Park Theatre which I loved but after the summer the theatre shut．
    Then in 1989 a small thing happened that changed my life．I damaged my car and needed a few hundred pounds to fix it．I suddenly realized I had to start earning some money．I'd never thought of teaching but I got some advice to go to Gabbitas，Truman and Thring，which for donkey's years was the teaching agency for independent schools．I wasn't a trained teacher so I couldn't even think of teaching at a state school．
   I borrowed an ill-fitting suit off my father and I felt like a character in a PG Wodehouse film pretending to be someone else．They asked me what I was interested in for about 20 minutes and unbelievably I got a six week job as assistant housemaster at Reeds School in Surrey．Looking back，it's amazing that they let me do it．
   But after six weeks I realized teaching was something I really wanted to do．I felt like I was learning for the first time in a long time．People go into teaching for all sorts of reasons from social reasons to their own background，but I was drawn in because it seemed such a creative option．
    I got my QTS （Qualified teacher status） working in schools．It's funny that teacher training has come full circle now with a move towards in-school training．But I have a suspicion that a good teacher is a good teacher，whatever the training．I got my first full time post at Mill Hill in North London and worked there for two and a half years teaching English and drama．
   The biggest lesson I learned from my colleagues in the early days of my teaching career was that there's no substitute for strict and high expectations．Pupils can be restricted by teachers' expectations of them．I go in expecting professional standards - that's the point I try and get my pupils to．The challenge for a drama teacher is to get kids that find going on stage really frightening to the point that they can do it．The only way to do it is by hard work and encouragement，long，long hours of rehearsal （排练） and a clear idea of what you can achieve．
   Outside the curriculum I put on one or two shows a term．In total we've got nine productions a term；many of them are exam pieces．The A-level course is largely practical and we don't do drama GCSE at Bedales．It's a very interesting route，more challenging and exciting and includes outdoor work．We do know pretty much all our pupils will do A-levels but we have a very broad range of ability at Bedales，10% may go to Oxford and Cambridge but we also have kids who don't want to go to university，it's a broad church．
   I've been working at Bedales for just over two years．I've worked in very academic schools in London and traditional country schools，but find being here a unique environment．Teachers here feel valued and empowered and that's contagious （传染的）．We have a constant professional dialogue with ourselves and our colleagues，so we are able to move together．
   To stay as a teacher you have to stay alive，hungry for new ideas．This keeps me motivated．Who is to say how long I can teach for though，it depends on how the energy levels keep up．
   I think it would be very unwise to think you can teach in an independent school now without being qualified．I was one of the last old dinosaurs to walk across that plain．

（1）What made the writer start to look for a job as a teacher？
A．What he had studied at university．
B．The influence of other arts graduates．
C．His failure as a session musician．
D．The need for money to fix his car．
（2）The writer thinks it's surprised to be hired because he       ．
A．behaved common at university
B．didn't get a teacher's qualification
C．had little experience related to the job
D．came across some unbelievable interviewers
（3）According to the passage，the challenge for a drama teacher is to       ．
A．provide his students with good drama
B．establish high and strict professional standards
C．find ways to deal well with other colleagues
D．help his students overcome the fear on stage
（4）What is the message conveyed in the passage？
A．One can find his position in life in his own way．
B．Opportunity seldom knocks twice．
C．Motivation is more important than qualifications．
D．Teaching others teaches yourself．

220137. （2017•西安中学•高三上一月） Every day we are exposed to images，videos，music and news．In this age of visual and aura（听觉的）hyper-stimulation（过度刺激），the medium of radio is making a great comeback．
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster（播客）Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast．These statistics，released by Edison Research，show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast"was invented in 2004，but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast sales have jumped．
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities（功能）．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney University media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTurns．"I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said，"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts，but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in．"
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust，majoring in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're listening，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．

（1）From the first two paragraphs，we can learn that        ．
A．traditional broadcast has come back

A．tell how young people relax themselves

（3）Paragraph 5 is mainly about        ．

（4）What is probably the best title of the passage？

218116. （2024•城关中学•高二下一月）     Café en Seine
    The wildly luxurious （奢华） new art style of this huge bar has been a huge hit since it first opened in 1995，and while it may not be the "in" place it once was，it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners.Maybe it's the glass frames，or the real 12 m-high trees；but most likely it's the beautiful people surrounding the wood-and-marble bar.
Good for：decoration，cocktails，amazing food and service
Address：40 Dawson St
Transport：all city center
Phone：01 677 4369
    Gravediggers （aka Kavanaghs）
    The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch （舱口） so that they could drink on the job—hence the pub's nickname.Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family，this pub is one of the best in Ireland，almost unchanged in 150 years.In summer，the green of the square is full of drinkers bathing in the sun，while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town.An absolute classic.
Good for：Guinness，traditional pub，pub food
Address：1 Prospect Sq，Glasnevin
Transport：13 from city center
Phone：830 7978
    Davy Byrnes
    James Joyce，an Irish author and poet （1882–1941），would hardly recognize the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses.It doesn't stop Davy Byrnes from making the most of its literary connections，even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.
Good for：socializing with locals，tasty Irish food，watching TV
Address：21 Duke St
Transport：all city centre
Website：www.davybyrnes.com
Phone：01 677 5217

218114. （2024•城关中学•高二下一月） ChatGPT，designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans，has become a viral excitement.The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days!Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
   The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense.Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books.It is further trained by humans.This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
   "We have a lot of information on the internet，but you normally have to Google it，then read it and then do something with it，"says Ricardo，chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit."Now you'll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question."
   ChatGPT cannot think on its own.It depends on the information that it has been trained on.As a result，the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available.However，when unsure，ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses.OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds.Also，ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021.Hence，it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
   Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems.It can translate long texts into different languages，create content on almost any topic，and even summarize books.
   However，ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators.Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom.It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts.But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat.They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills.As a result，many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
