220380. （2016•长安区一中•高二下二月） The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history，comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph．Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before，and can communicate with each other instantly，often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere．But the Internet's tremendous impacts has only just begun．
"Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social，cultural，and political transformations in history，and unlike earlier periods of change，this time the effects are fully global，"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age．
Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online．The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals，governments，and institutions like the news media．But if the book has one major shortcoming，it's that authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these changes．
In their book，the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes-and more importantly predicts-how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades．They paint a picture of a world in which individuals，companies，institutions，and governments must deal with two realities，one physical，and one virtual．
At the core of the book is the idea that"technology is neutral，but people aren't．"By using this concept as a starting point，the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs．pessimist point of view that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society．In an interview with TIME earlier this week，Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet，they're also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online，particularly with respect to personal privacy and state supervision．
（1）How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet？
A．They are immeasurable．
B．They are worldwide．
C．They are unpredictable．
D．They are profound．
（2）In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate？
A．It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology．
B．It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet．
C．It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses．
D．It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication．
（3）What will the future be like when everybody gets online？
A．People will be dealing with two different realities．
B．People will have equal access to information．
C．People don't have to travel to see the world．
D．People don't have to communicate face to face．
（4）What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age？
A．They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet．
B．They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution．
C．They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world．
D．They don't take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet．

（1）B 细节理解题．根据第二段Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social，cultural，and political transformations in history，and unlike earlier periods of change，this time the effects are fully global，"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age．可知，两个人都认为网络的影响是全世界的，故答案为B．
（2）C 细节理解题．根据But if the book has one major shortcoming，it's that authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes．可知书的不足之处是作者没有时间以一种批判的眼光来看待电子商务所扮演的角色．故选C．
（3）A 细节理解题．根据They paint a picture of a world in which individuals，companies，institutions，and governments must deal with two realities，one physical，and one virtual．可知未来的人们生活在两种现实中．故选A．
（4）D 推理判断题．根据By using this concept as a starting point，the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs．pessimist dichotomy （对立观点）that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society．可知近期对于网络的兴起对社会来说最终是利还是弊的争论，大多是持乐观或悲观的对立观点，而本书的作者很好的绕开了这些对立的观点．根据In an interview with Time earlier this week，Cohen said that although he and his co﹣author are certainly optimistic about many aspects of the Internet，they're also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online，particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance（监视）．可知最后一句中，介绍作者不仅提到了网络的好处，也提到了网络存在的风险和危险．所以答案应该指出作者是持一种中立态度的．故选D．

215320. （2015•七十中•高一上期中） When someone says，"Well，I guess I'll have to go to face the music，"it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert．It is something far less pleasant，like being called by your boss to explain why you did this or did that，and why you did not do this or do that．Terrible music，indeed，but it has to be faced．At some time or another，everyone of us has had to"face the music"，especially as children．We can remember father's angry voice："I want to talk to you!"And only because we did not obey him．What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase"face the music"is known to every American，old and young．It is at least one hundred years old．Where did the expression come from？
The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper．He said，in 1851，that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings（舞台两侧）to go on stage．After they got their clue to go on，they often said，"It's time to go to face the music．"And that is exactly what they did-face the orchestra （乐队） which was just below the stage．
An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience （观众） that might be friendly，or perhaps unfriendly，especially if he forgot his lines．But he had to go out．If he did not，there would be no play．So"face the music"came to mean：having to go through something，no matter how unpleasant the experience might be，because you knew you had no choice．

（1）The underlined phrase"face the music"means        ．
A．plan to go to a concert
B．get one's clue to do something
C．have to go through something far less pleasant
D．disobey what one's father says
（2）The passage tells us that the expression was first used by        ．
A．children
B．novelists
C．actors
D．audience
（3）Which of the following is NOT true？
A．The expression came from James Fenimore Cooper，an American novelist．
B．The expression has a history of more than 100 years．
C．If someone doesn't obey his boss，he will have to"face the music"．
D．Almost everyone has an unpleasant experience that he has had to face the music．

205861. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed"，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student．Better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it．
   All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，finally，the most telling "interpretation（解释）" of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once．
   Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on films，is obviously a special reward．But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading or，best of all，reciting（背诵）it．
   I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than "analyzing" it，if there isn't time for both．I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry．Poetry is "a criticism of life"，and "a heightening（提升）of life"，It is "an approach to the truth of feeling"，and it "can save your life"．It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies．
   I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry．Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else．But those，who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it．

（1）What is the better way to have a better understanding of a poem？
A．Discussing it with others．
B．Practising reading it aloud．
C．Hearing the poet read out．
D．Analyzing it by oneself．
（2）According to the author，one of the purposes of teaching English is getting students       ．
A．to like poetry
B．to criticize life
C．to enjoy life
D．to teach poetry
（3）The underlined word "make room" probably means       ．
A．to build a booth
B．to provide equipment
C．to learn a certain amount of time
D．to set aside enough space
（4）The passage is mainly about       ．
A．teaching poetry
B．discussing poetry
C．reading a poem
D．reciting a poem

203340. （2016•西工大附中•九模） William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865．His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family．Later，Yeatocked his family by saying that he remembered"little of childhood but its pain"．In fact，he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama and poetry．
   Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning．He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
   Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility（情感） to them．As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition．
  He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life．Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75．After Yeats's death in 1939，W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the falling liners：
Earth，receive an honored guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest．
Let the Irish vessel （船） lie
Emptied of its poetry．

D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize．
（3）What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H．Auden's lines？
A．Envy．
B．Sympathy．

203263. （2016•西工大附中•六模） Grant Wood's American Gothic caused a stir（轰动）in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars．Newspapers across the country carried the story，and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame．
In 1930，Grant Wood，an American painter with European training，noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon．Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house．In the painting，the farmer is modeled on his dentist．Dr．Byron McKeeby．His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman （imagined to be the farmer's wife or daughter）．Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork （干草叉） symbolizing hard labor．Each element was painted separately；the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house．The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting's title．
American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art．The painting has become part of American popular culture．Some believe that Wood used it to satirize（讽刺） the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture．The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire．American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol，along with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa．

   Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72．at this point，his work had been completely forgotten by the public．His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years．Then，in 1920s，his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work．Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author．

205187. （2021•西安中学•高二上期末） The small unframed painting called "Fishman" was signed by a little-known Italian artist，Maveleone （1669-1740）.When it was sold recently in New York for ＄27，000，the seller，Mr.Oliver Pitt，was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.Pitt said， "I didn't know it was so valuable.I'm not an art expert.Photography is my hobby.I bought 'Fisherman' in Italy in 1970 for ＄140.The picture was dirty，and I could see the artist's signature.But anyway，it wasn't the picture that I liked.I bought it because of the frame.
   "It's a most unusual frame，made of tiny，silver sea-shells.They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture.I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame，and I'll never part with it.
   "When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer.I told him that I had paid ＄140 for it but admitted I didn't know its actual worth.The customs man valued it at ＄140，and I was asked to pay duty on that value.I did so，there and then.
   "Later，I took off the frame，and that uncovered Maveleone's signature.My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one；so I cleaned it and put it up for sale."
   As a result of this explanation，Oliver Pitt had to appear in court.He was accused of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
   Pitt was not happy， "I told the truth as I knew then，" he said. "What else could I say？"
   And then the judge agreed with him. "The Customs Department is responsible，" he said， "for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country，so that the correct amount of duty may be charged.Mr.Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made.He paid the duty that was demanded.If，now，the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct，it cannot be allowed to have another try.Pitt is not guilty."

213173. （2023•高新一中•高二上期中）     It was the American sitcom（情景戏剧） that influenced a generation.The six stars of Friends went their separate ways after 237 episodes and a decade together as flatrates，sharing their lives，loves and careers in a New York apartment.
    "Friends had a huge influence on American TV history"，said Steve Beverly，professor of communication arts. "This group of six reflected what people their age experienced in their daily lives，so viewers could understand them easily. "
    We all wanted a life like theirs—the cool New York flat with table football and easy chairs，and the social circle of beautiful，supportive friends.We also wanted to drink endless coffee，which was one example of how the show changed our lives.Even the haircut of Rachel—one of the six—was copied by millions of women.
    The show has been credited with influencing how many of us speak.Researchers analysed every episode to explore whether popular culture influenced how we speak.Before the show，people usually put very or really before an adjective.On Friends，they used so. "This guy is so cool， "they said，and now we all say it.
    The show enjoyed a huge increase in ratings after the 11 September terrorist attacks，as sad New Yorkers struggled to make sense of the real horrors that had unfolded around them.In the show，they sought the return of a feel-good factor，according to Robert Thompson，professor of television and popular culture. "Friends is set not in the real New York，but in the fantasy New York where everybody leaves their doors unlocked and people don't fly planes into buildings， "he said.
    Friends is more than just a sitcom；it's a way of life.Our attitudes to the Friends？lives is a mixture of envy 'How do they get to sit on sofas all day drinking coffee？ "and disdain： "Don't they have anything better to do with their time，like earn a living to pay for that Manhattan apartment？" Anyway，although Friends came to an end long ago，it will last forever.

（1）According to Steve Beverly，why did many people like Friends？
A.Because its actors were very attractive.
B.Because it was the first American sitcom.
C.Because it described American dream life.
D.Because viewers could relate to its characters.
（2）What's Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A.Researchers' interest in the show.
B.The show's influence on language.
C.The relation between the show and culture.
D.The way the show's characters use adjectives.
（3）What do we know about the show after 9/11？
A.It helped people face terrorist attacks.
B.It stopped being set in New York.
C.It provided people with comfort.
D.It attracted fewer viewers.
（4）When you show "disdain" for something，you        .
A.have no respect for it
B.pay no attention to it
C.are curious about it
D.are surprised at it

213114. （2023•蓝田县•高二上期中）     I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiastic reader，sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties，I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
    My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
    As I grew older and became a mother，the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source（来源） of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library，where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
    I always read，using different voices，as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
    Now，I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
    As a novelist，I've found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven（避风港） for readers and writers，a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries，in their own way，help fight book piracy（盗版行为） and I think all writerould support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

（1）Which word best describes the author?s relationship with books as a child？

212983. （2023•长安区一中•高一上期中）     The question of whether it is possible to separate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time.Even though positive critical reviews about an artist's behavior can improve their artistic achievements，people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.
    One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings.Like any other human being，an artist can make mistakes，and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error.Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weakness can be used by the artists to create art that is unique.
    Perhaps Kevin Hart's words support this thought.He asks "When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect？Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time？" When people start seeing artists as human beings，they'll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.
    It should be also noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist's experience.For example，the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J.K.Rowling's wicked worldview that it is actually impossible to separate the two from each other.Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer，artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves，which will kill creativity，eventually leading to the death of art.Comedians，singers or painters who should be mixing contemporary（当代的） issues with their works become boring，and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be.
    An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic （内在的） value，benefiting entire communities or cultures，For instance，one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he influenced pop music and the inclusion of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses，opinions，worldviews and associations.
    While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior，the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future.Some would refer to this process as a cycle.Good art should，therefore，be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.

（1）Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with？
A.Artistould be evaluated based on their humanity time.
B.If artists have weaknesses，we'd better cancel them.
C.Artists' shortcomings might be their inspiration.
D.People should perform perfectly all the time.
（2）Why will "cancel culture" lead to the death of art？
A.Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork.
B.Artists will stop concerning with contemporary issues.
C.Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists' experiences.
D.Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity.
（3）How can an artist with mistakes benefit others？
A.The artist's art may give others ideas of artistic creation.
B.The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures.
C.The artist's opinions may inspire heated discussion.
D.The artist may make some new words popular.
（4）Which would be the best title of the passage？
A.Judge Art Due to Its Value
B.Separate the Art From the Artist
C.Regard Artists as Human Beings
D.Stop Criticizing Artists' Behavior

212829. （2024•师大附中•高一下期中）     English history is vast，from its rule under the Romans to the rise，heights and fall of the British Empire.When choosing a book to recommend on my country's history，I wanted something that could summarize this sweeping history but didn't get stuck in the details of things that hold me back from completely engaging with this truly rich history.Then，I found Dominic Hnynes' A Brief History of England.
    The book is a tour through the whole of English history，from its earliest people to the movement of settlers from Europe.It looks at the Battle of Hastings in 1066，Elizabeth I's ruling and the lasting impact of Shakespeare.Then it touches on the English Civil Wars and the shift of rule from kings and queens to the parliament（议会） running the country and the establishment of the political parties.It also covers the Napoleonic Wars and the world wars and even considers England's post-Brexit （脱欧后的） present and future.
    This really is quite the sweeping book.However，it's very short.This means it's easy to navigate and get a hold of a huge amount of history，but it also means it's very light on the details.At times，this can be upset，as there are parts where it feels like just another paragraph or page would really elevate this book.But for an introduction to English history or perhaps a reminder or refresher，it's great and particularly useful as it is likely to fill in some gaps in your knowledge.
    Furthermore，because of the pace of the book，there's not a boring moment.It's a real page-turner，covering the succession（交替） of kings and queens，wars，and changes in the social order of the country at home and the country's influence across the world.
    One reviewer on Amazon described the book as "a small masterpiece"，and said. "This is a great book for anyone who wants to get a c-ash course in English history or for those who want a quick reference to that subject."
    So，jump in，dear readers，and get a hold of what made England what it was，what it went on to be，and where it may stand in our global future.

（1）What is the main focus of Dominic Haynes' A Brief History of England？
A．Detailed exploration of England's political parties.
B．In-depth analysis of England's post-Brexit policies.
C．An introduction to the British Empire's rise and fall.
D．A brief overview of England's historical shifts and events.
（2）What is a weakness mentioned of the reviewer regarding the book？
A．Its pace is slow and upset.
B．It dives too deeply into political issues.
C．There's a shortage of information on wars.
D．It lacks detailed information due to itortness.
（3）Which of following can best explain the underlined word "page-turner"？
A．A book that is exciting to read.
B．A book that is complicated.
C．A book that is easy to understand.
D．A book that has lots of pages to turn.
（4）What is the main purpose of this text？
A．To call on people to know the UK's history.
B．To recommend a book of the UK's history.
C．To suggest ways to know the UK's history.
D．To comment on the politics of the UK's history.
