(2022·山西臨汾·高三學(xué)業(yè)考試)Shaanxi food occupies an important position in Chinese cuisine. Its capital city, Xi’an, has a wide range of delicious food. Here are some of them.
Yangrou paomo
Yangrou paomo, or pita bread soaked in lamb soup, is another signature food of Xi’an. The main ingredient in this mouth-watering dish is mutton and pita bread.

Biangbiang noodles (stewed-pork hand-ripped noodles) are thick, fat and long. Each noodle is three fingers wide, spiraling down into a big bowl. It is served dry, with toppings of chili and pork belly in alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Biangbiang noodles are famous not only for their distinctive taste, but also for the name, the character of which is so complicated that many Chinese don’t know how to write it. Biang refers to the sound chefs make when they pull the dough into noodles and bang them against the table.

(2022·山西·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Advice on Writing from Famous Writers
◆Hilary Mantel—a little pride can be a great help
The most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence, if you can manage it. You write to impress yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.
◆Leo Tolstoy—pick the hours that work best for you
Tolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Rousseau, too, after he got up in morning, went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning one’s head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”
◆William Faulkner—read to write
Read, read, read everything—rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter(木匠)who works as a beginner and studies under the master. Read! You’ll take it in. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.
◆Katherine Mansfield—writing anything is better than nothing
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Even it was rubbish. But it’s far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.
14.What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel?
A.A sense of pride. B.Rich knowledge.
C.Courage to begin. D.Opportunities.
15.What did Leo Tolstoy and Rousseau have in common?

(2022·天津河北·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)“Where is the light?” My dad used to ask me the question when I was little. It’s one of those questions that parents often use to find out how smart their young children are. During my teenage years, my dad jokingly told me that he thought I was going to be dimwitted(愚蠢的) because I pointed at him whenever he asked me where the light was.
Dad is from a rural area about 230 kilometers north of the capital Manila, and where most people live off the land, raising and selling livestock and poultry. His father, an artist and street magician, died when he was very young. To make ends meet, his mother went about town and washed laundry in various households. My dad found himself alone—lack of nurturing (養(yǎng)育) and love, short of family bonds.
Dad loved reading and always looked for opportunities to educate himself. One day, when my father was 16 and out of work, a stranger saw him sitting under a tree, absorbed in a book. He approached Dad and asked him why he wasn't in school. Dad replied that he had no money for college. The stranger saw his desire to study and recommended him to University of the Cordilleras as a working student. He also gave Dad a job in a local factory. Thanks to the warm-hearted stranger, Dad got his Bachelor of Arts degree, then went on to study law and became a successful lawyer. He wrote a widely-read textbook on Philippine law.
Looking at my father now, I can see how he was able to overcome so many obstacles. He is by nature a hardworking man, pouring his energy into his career without forgetting his family. He values education—when we were younger, he would tell me and my brother to constantly seek improvement in ourselves through learning.
Like a light, he shines with dignity and respect because of his achievements, but his light radiates the brightest for maintaining our family as a cohesive (有凝聚力的)unit with love and faith as its foundation.
There are times when my dad kids around and asks me, using my childhood nickname, “Sasi, where's the light?”
I just smile, and point at him.
17.What joke did Dad play on the writer?
A.He considered her a little foolish.
B.He treated himself as the light.

18.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ______.

19.How did Dad finish his college education?
A.He got much money from a stranger.
B.He won a scholarship by studying hard.
C.He paid his fees by doing a part-time job.
D.He earned money by writing books on law.
20.In the eyes of the writer, her dad ______.
A.chose careers for his children
B.taught his children by himself at home
C.a(chǎn)cted as the light in his children’s lives

B.To recall a question asked by her dad.
C.To introduce the benefit of a close family.
D.To praise her dad for his effort to achieve his goals.

(2022·寧夏銀川·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. After choosing his presents, he came to the checkout counter (交款處) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

(2022·天津市民族中學(xué)高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Modern technology has a strong influence on every part of our life, including the education in the universities.
Ashok Goel, a professor of Georgia Institute of Technology, says he uses the Internet in almost all of the classes he teaches. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence (人工智能). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online — through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world.
Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need.
So, in January, Goel had an idea. He decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 term, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day.
It was only at the end of the term that Goel’s students learned Watson’s true identity: she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program.
And it seems Goel’s stories will become more common in the universities.
A website called Campus Technology publishes stories about how colleges and universities use new technology. In August, the site published a survey of over 500 professors and their use of technology. Fifty-five percent of the professors asked students to use study materials online before coming to class. And, more than 70 percent combined (使相結(jié)合) online materials and face-to-face teaching in their classrooms.
26.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Goel seldom uses the Internet in his class.
B.The students take Goel’s class online.
C.Goel occasionally meets his colleagues.
D.Goel’s students dislike going to college.
27.Why does Goel have many teaching assistants to help him?
A.He is not a clever professor.
B.He wants to have a good sleep.
C.He does not want to give answers.
D.He has no time to answer all the questions.
28.What can we know about Jill Watson?
A.She was a real person. B.She helped Goel with his work.
C.She was one of Goel’s students. D.She could ask all the questions.
29.What does the underlined word “identity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Who a person is. B.The name of a person.
C.Where a person is from. D.A person’s contribution.
30.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ashok Goel has eight assistants to help him.
B.New technology is changing our way of living.
C.Modern technology greatly influences college education.
D.Teachers will be completely replaced by the computers.

(2022·山西·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)When David Carter started his art major at the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But he dropped out of university at 23 after he hurt his hand badly in an incident. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia(精神分裂癥) and spent several years without a home.

(2022·廣東·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁癥) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre.

According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.

(2022·山西臨汾·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)I accidentally found a time capsule, in purple and green floss (絲線) in the midst of sorting out some old things last month. Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手鏈)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating—like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord (一種聊天工具) in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
40.Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule?
A.It is faded and worn.
B.It is shaped like a capsule.
C.It reminds her of her childhood.
D.It was made by the author herself.
41.Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “intoxicating” in Paragraph 2?
A.Exciting. B.Terrible.
C.Professional. D.Strange.
42.Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A.They spend too much time on their cellphones.
B.They make more friends at summer camp.
C.They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D.They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
43.What can be implied about the friendship bracelets?
A.They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold on to.
B.They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
C.They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
D.They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.

(2022·山西臨汾·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)The way people decorate their homes can tell a lot about themselves. Obviously the way we decorate our homes is very personal. And while many of us have plenty of options, there are always people who go that little bit further. So, when it comes to minimalism (極簡主義) and maximalism (極繁主義) , which one appeals to you more?
Minimalism was an art movement that started in the 1950s. Its basic principles come from a concept of less is more, reducing things to their most basic. Some people took that art style and used it as a way of living. Their houses are usually decorated in simple colors, often just black and white. For some, especially maximalists, it may seem a bit boring or depressing. However, living in this way is seen by many as more organized and practical.
Maximalism started in the 1970s. It embraces the core ideals that “more is more”. While minimalism centres around the principle of removing, if it’s easy to imagine that a maximalists’ home is piled with items—but that’s not the basic idea. It’s more about making the most of the area. Organized excess and bright colors combined with mixed patterns is what you will see in a home like this. For a minimalist, being used to more simple designs, it could be uneasy. But for those who embrace it, those things give a space personality.
The way you have your home is up to you! But, if you choose maximalism, you may need to prepare for a bit more dusting.
44.What may maximalists think of minimalists’ lifestyle?
A.Interesting. B.Practical. C.Amazing. D.Dull.
45.What can we learn about maximalism?
A.It was an art movement at first.
B.It focuses on using the space fully.
C.It is criticized for wasting resources.
D.It dates back to as early as the 1950s.
46.How is the text mainly developed?
A.By making comparison.
B.By explaining causes.
C.By giving examples.
D.By listing facts.
47.According to the passage, how will you choose between minimalism and maximalism?
A.Love me, love my dog.
B.Whatever you like depends on yourself.
C.Birds of a feather flock together.
D.Cut your coat according to your cloth.

(2022·山西·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggest that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—will help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believe the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
48.What kind of scientist is more encouraging?
A.Those who are famous around the world.
B.Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
C.Those who are famous for their hard work.
D.Those who are viewed as great inventors.
49.What is the concern in the science community?
A.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
B.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
C.The students will drop out of school soon.
D.Fewer students will work on science.
50.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
51.What is the best title for the text?
A.Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than Edison
B.Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
C.How to Be a Great Scientist
D.Einstein’s Success Story

(2022·安徽·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization,which means that people would specialize,or focus,on doing one specific job.
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder,for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds,tended the fields,and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time,he did many other jobs on the farm. However,he didn’t make the bricks for his house,cut his trees into boards,make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead,he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron,Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps,he thought,other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing?Why,he advertised,of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read,they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone,clay,or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium,in advertising talk,is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio,or sound,although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally,just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument,such as a bell,were used to get people’s attention.
A crier,in the historical sense,is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone,probably a man,with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt,shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods,explained where they came from,and praised their quality. His job was,in other words,not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.

(2022·北京·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Visit a medium-or large-sized company these days, and you’re likely to find the staff members sharing a large, open space. Instead of having personal offices with doors and walls, most workers sit in cubicles (隔間) that are half open. Whenever workers talk on the phone, other members of staff nearby can’t simply shut their doors. In fact, sometimes they can’t help but overhear everything that’s said. At times, the best way to focus in this type of office is to reach for one’s headphones and listen to music.
The open office idea is not new; it was created by a team of consultants from Hamburg, Germany, in the 1950s. Called the office landscape (景觀) plan, the idea was created with a good attempt—to improve communication and the exchange of ideas. The design also encouraged managers and their teams to work near each other, making it easier for managers to guide projects. Now, the open office idea is often used as an excuse for companies to save money on building costs, paying no attention to the effect on working performance.
Many start-ups have a great interest in the open office idea. Take Chartbeat for example. The company’s 50-plus staff members get to choose their desk and chair styles, and everyone shares an open space with the CEO sitting in the middle. The office space has both single workstations and informal meeting areas where workers can relax themselves on sofas. While this design may be perfect for workers in start-ups, it may not be convenient for workers who have a great need of personal space.
In 2011 Matthew Davis, an organizational psychologist (心理學(xué)家), reviewed over a hundred studies regarding office environments. He found that, to staff in open offices, it was harder to stay focused and more likely to suffer higher stress levels than those working in traditional offices. What's worse, a study in Denmark found that workers in open offices took more sick days than those working in traditional offices.
Even though open office plans present hidden problems in terms of worker health and personal needs, businesses probably won’t return to traditional offices. Modern office workers tend to need both times to focus and times to work together with others. So designing offices that account for both needs may be the best way forward.
57.What is mainly discussed about the open office in paragraph 1?
A.The benefit. B.The problem. C.The history. D.The management.
58.What was the original purpose of the office landscape plan?
A.To save space. B.To reduce cost.
C.To improve working conditions. D.To encourage communication.
59.According to Matthew Davis, staff in open offices are ___________.
A.less stressed B.more energetic C.less concentrated D.more hardworking
60.What does the underlined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Include. B.Record. C.Be a part of. D.Be a cause of.

(2022·甘肅·天水市第一中學(xué)高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)All networks like 3G and 4G will be things of the past, because 5G will be reachable in the near future. So, what’s so special about a 5G future? First of all, its download speed can be as fast as 20GB/s, which is 100 to 200 times that of 4G. But what’s more impressive is 5G’S low delay rate. Now, 4G takes an average of 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive information. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond.
5G is a great breakthrough (突破). It’s going to change the way equipment connects to the Internet, and more importantly, to each other. And self-driving cars may be one of the biggest breakthroughs to come out of 5G. Human reaction time is 200 milliseconds, yet we still have accidents every day. The self-driving car under a 5G network could react and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within 1 millisecond. It’ll play a great role in preventing car accidents and ending traffic jams completely.
5G can benefit us in many other ways. Operations could be performed by robots controlled by experts from the other side of the world. Therefore, more lives will be saved in time. Factories can be staffed by robots that can communicate their tasks to each other, and they can do more work efficiently over a 5G network. Imagine a group of drones (無人機) flying over a field of crops, using sensors (傳感器) on the ground to sort, pick, feed, and water plants all on their own. Then farmers won’t have to work so hard anymore.
But, 5G is not perfect. One major disadvantage has to do with why it’s so fast. 5G uses the millimeter waves, while 4G uses the 15 to 40 centimeter-long waves. And shorter waves go fast but not very far. On 4G networks, the signal can go 10 kilometers. But the 5G signal can go at most 300 meters, and it can’t even go through walls or rain. So, what does that mean? Having such a short signal distance means we need to build a lot of transmitters (信號發(fā)射塔) in the future.
61.How does the author show us 5G’s advantages in Paragraph 1?
A.By giving examples of the uses of 5G.
B.By making comparisons between 4G and 5G.
C.By explaining the scientific principles of 5G.
D.By analyzing 5G’s development from 4G.
62.According to the author, the self-driving cars will ______.
A.cause more car accidents
B.slow down 5G’s development
C.ran without being connected to the Internet
D.have a much faster reaction speed than humans
63.What does the underlined part “be staffed by robots” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Be built by robots.
B.Have robots as workers.
C.Offer employees home robots.
D.Produce more medical robots.
64.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The development of 5G is challenging.
B.Some disadvantages of 5G network remain to be improved.
C.5G network could be applied to hospitals, factories and drones.
D.5G is a great breakthrough and can benefit people in many ways.

(2022·甘肅·天水市第一中學(xué)高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Many of us think of sharks as powerful, mysterious, and lonely as they move through the deep. And no wonder the fish have long been portrayed in popular media as lone predators, appearing out of nowhere to attack. But that image has come under inspection in recent years, as shark researchers around the world have discovered the fish gathering in large numbers and interacting with others of their own species in ways that are obviously friendly.
Yannis Papastamatiou, a marine scientist at Florida International University, and his team used acoustic transmitters to record the interactions over four years of about 40 reef sharks around Hawaii. Their study found that reef sharks return to the same communities year after year, forming clear preferences for sharks with some friendships that endured throughout the study. In his 2016 study, he found that individual sharks tagged with recording devices had thousands of interactions with their peers, with some pairs spending up to four straight days together. The study also found certain sharks were unmistakably companions. “These weren’t random associations,” he says.
Finding out why sharks socialize — and how much of their behavior is cooperative — is a challenge, but there are some clues, such as food availability and warmer waters. Great white sharks, are showing up in record numbers along southern California beaches as the population has doubled since 1994. While great white sharks typically maintain distances of about 30 feet from each other and don’t seem too close, they are clearly drawn together by a preference for the area. In some cases, there may not be an obvious purpose for shark’s friendship. At the Bimini Shark Lab, Smukall and his colleagues found that young lemon sharks sought out companionship of other sharks for no clear reason. There’s growing evidence that lemon sharks have their own personalities, which may influence whether they spend time with other sharks, he adds.
More would be known about the intimate lives of sharks if the field weren’t so new, due in part to a lack of funding and sharks’ negative reputation. “We’ve only had about 20 years to really start studying sharks,” says Smukall.
65.Why do the reef sharks return to the same groups every year?
A.To move to other places together. B.To find a better place to lay eggs.
C.To change the food chain of the sea. D.To search for the company of other fish.
66.Which of the following is NOT the reason why sharks socialize?
A.Global Warming. B.Preference for an area.
C.Sharks’ personalities. D.Food availability.
67.What can be found according to Yannis’s 2016 study?
A.Sharks usually spend four days with their peers.
B.The relationship between some sharks is steady.
C.All the sharks were attached to recording devices.
D.Sharks have thousands of interactions every day.
68.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Sharks always have a bad reputation.
B.Scientist will begin studying sharks in 20 years.
C.There will be a long way to go before knowing sharks completely.
D.It is unnecessary to put money into the research of the sharks.

(2022·山西·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.
People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.
During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷獵) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可圖的).
However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗議) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.
In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?
69.What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?
A.The growing human population.
B.Humans’ hope for making a fortune.
C.Humans’ too much need for wild food.
D.Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..
70.What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?
A.Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.
B.Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.
C.Those who killed elephants all got caught.
D.Hunting was completely not allowed.
71.Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To show the effort to protect seal babies.
B.To show an increasing number of seal babies.
C.To show the decrease of worry about certain species.
D.To show people’s protest against the killing of seal babies.
72.What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?
A.Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.
B.Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.
C.Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.
D.Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.

(2022·云南·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)Do you like fishing? Have you ever put a fish back into the water after catching it? What made you decide to do this?
One day, two fishermen were fishing in a pool. Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch. The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish after an hour. He was very happy. He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish. Surprisingly, he threw it back into the pool. Later, he caught many more big fish. But he only threw them back into the water again and again.
The first fisherman felt strange and asked, "Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!" The second fisherman answered, "I know they were big, but I don't have a pan(平底鍋)big enough to cook big fish! So I'm looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan. "The first fisherman was surprised by the answer. He told the second fisherman "I will cut the big fish into smaller pieces to fit them into the small pan."
Many of us are just like the second fisherman. We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose a chance.
73.What's the function of Paragraph 1?
A.To ask for readers' help. B.To change readers' hobbies.
C.To attract readers' attention. D.To test readers' fishing skills.
74.When did the second fisherman catch a fish?

(2022·福建·高二學(xué)業(yè)考試)A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It’s called the iPet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.
Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion’s founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.
The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(鉤住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.
But there’s sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the toys and change the place where they’re located in the room.
Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adaptor(適配器) —toys that you can get on your own. And that’s where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don’t really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug — a sprinkler(灑水器), say that you’d be able to water your grass.
“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the world”, Harris said.
77.What does the underlined word “remotely” in Para 1 probably mean?
A.Far away. B.For free. C.With pity. D.Out of control.
78.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Any of your toys can be used as an adapter.
B.The founder is in favor of a Trojan horse.
C.The younger the pets are, the more easily they get bored.
D.People can only use iPet Companion with the Internet accessible.
79.Why did iPet Companion interest many people?
A.It can be used to kill time.
B.It is easy to control online.
C.It can meet all of their demands.
D.They can show their love for faraway pets by using it.
80.Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?
A.Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.
B.They don’t receive rewards from the games.
C.Toys are played with too often at the same place.
D.Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.
81.What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?
A.Kickstarter is only a kind of toy.
B.Kickstarter can be used in many other way.
C.iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.
D.iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away.

In fact, sometimes they can’t help but overhear everything that’s said.(如今,訪問一家大中型公司,你很可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)員工共享一個大的、開放的空間。大多數(shù)員工坐在半開著的小隔間里,而不是有門和墻的私人辦公室。每當(dāng)員工打電話時,附近的其他員工不能簡單地關(guān)上門。事實上,有時他們會無意中聽到你所說的一切)”可知,第一段主要講述了開放辦公室的問題。故選B。

60.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段上文“businesses probably won’t return to traditional offices. Modern office workers tend to need both times to focus and times to work together with others. So designing offices that account for both needs may be the best way forward.(但企業(yè)可能不會回到傳統(tǒng)辦公室?,F(xiàn)代的辦公室職員往往既需要時間集中精力,也需要時間與他人合作。因此,設(shè)計account for這兩種需求的辦公室可能是最好的方法)”可知,企業(yè)可能不會回到傳統(tǒng)辦公室,那只能設(shè)計兼顧兩種需求的辦公室可能是最好的方法。由此可知,account for意為“包括”。故選A。

65.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“But that image has come under inspection in recent years, as shark researchers around the world have discovered the fish gathering in large numbers and interacting with others of their own species in ways that are obviously friendly.(但這一形象近年來受到了檢驗,因為世界各地的鯊魚研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),這種魚大量聚集在一起,并以一種明顯友好的方式與同類進行互動)”以及第二段中“In his 2016 study, he found that individual sharks tagged with recording devices had thousands of interactions with their peers, with some pairs spending up to four straight days together. The study also found certain sharks were unmistakably companions. (在他2016年的研究中,他發(fā)現(xiàn),用記錄設(shè)備標(biāo)記的單個鯊魚與其他鯊魚進行了數(shù)千次互動,有些成對鯊魚在一起的時間長達4天。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn),某些鯊魚無疑是伴侶)”可知,礁鯊每年都會回到同一群鯊魚中是為了尋找其他魚的陪伴。故選D。
66.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Finding out why sharks socialize — and how much of their behavior is cooperative — is a challenge, but there are some clues, such as food availability and warmer waters.(找出鯊魚社交的原因——以及它們的行為有多大程度上是合作的——是一個挑戰(zhàn),但也有一些線索,比如食物的可獲得性和溫暖的水域)”以及“There’s growing evidence that lemon sharks have their own personalities, which may influence whether they spend time with other sharks, he adds. (他補充說,越來越多的證據(jù)表明鯊有自己的個性,這可能會影響它們是否與其他鯊魚相處)”可知,A選項“全球變暖”不是鯊魚社交的原因。故選A。
67.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“In his 2016 study, he found that individual sharks tagged with recording devices had thousands of interactions with their peers, with some pairs spending up to four straight days together. The study also found certain sharks were unmistakably companions. (在他2016年的研究中,他發(fā)現(xiàn),用記錄設(shè)備標(biāo)記的單個鯊魚與其他鯊魚進行了數(shù)千次互動,有些成對鯊魚在一起的時間長達4天。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn),某些鯊魚無疑是伴侶)”可知,Yannis 2016年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)一些鯊魚之間的關(guān)系是穩(wěn)定的。故選B。
68.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“We’ve only had about 20 years to really start studying sharks(我們只有大約20年的時間來真正開始研究鯊魚)”可推知,要完全了解鯊魚還有很長的路要走。故選C。
69.B????70.A????71.C????72.D

【分析】這是一篇說明文。人類獵殺動物獲利,當(dāng)野生動物保護組織讓人們了解到野生動物被非法捕殺數(shù)量不斷減少時,人們才行動起來抵制用野生動物制作的產(chǎn)品,法律更加嚴(yán)厲制裁偷獵者。但是人們對動物的保護運動和關(guān)注力一直在改變,作者希望對動物保護的關(guān)注和行動應(yīng)該一直保持下去。
69.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.”(世界上數(shù)百萬動物死亡的原因是人類想賺錢),可知,人類希望發(fā)財導(dǎo)致了數(shù)百萬野生動物的消失,文中“kills millions of animals”( 數(shù)百萬的動物死亡)和問句中的“the disappearance of millions of wild animals”(數(shù)百萬野生動物的消失)相呼應(yīng);文中“humans want to make money”(人類想賺錢)和B選項“Humans’ hope for making a fortune”(人類希望發(fā)財)相呼應(yīng)。故選B。
70.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三句中的“During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory...As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷獵) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可圖的).”( 20世紀(jì)80年代末,拯救大象成了一個流行的事業(yè)。野生動物保護組織確保每個人都看到大象的照片或電影:它們的臉被切掉以獲取象牙……結(jié)果,大多數(shù)人不再購買象牙制品。禁止偷獵的法律變得更加嚴(yán)格。許多國家禁止進口象牙。為得到象牙而捕殺大象變得更危險,利潤也更低。),可知,在20世紀(jì)80年代末,野生動物保護組織確實做出了巨大努力。故選A。
71.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while.”( 然而,對某些物種的關(guān)注會在一段時間后減弱。),可知,第4段提到了海豹寶寶,目的是表明對某些物種的擔(dān)憂減少了。文中的“concern for certain species”與C選項中“worry about certain species”相對應(yīng);文中的“become weak”和C選項中“the decrease”相對應(yīng)。故選C。
72.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Other animal protection movements have come and gone...”(其他動物保護運動來了又去……)和最后一段第一句“In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species.”(在未來的幾年里,人們的關(guān)注力可能會轉(zhuǎn)向其他一些瀕危物種。),可知,對動物的保護運動和關(guān)注力一直在改變,那么在人們關(guān)注其他瀕危物種時,大象會被遺忘嗎?可以推斷,作者說這句話的意思是,對動物保護的關(guān)注和行動應(yīng)該一直保持下去。故選D。
73.C????74.B????75.A????76.D

【分析】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章主要通過兩個漁夫釣魚的故事,告訴我們要認(rèn)真思考、把握機會。
73.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Do you like fishing? Have you ever put a fish back into the water after catching it? What made you decide to do this?(你喜歡釣魚嗎?你有沒有把魚抓到后又放回水里?是什么讓你決定這樣做?)”及第二段“One day, two fishermen were fishing in a pool. Both of them were looking forward to getting a big catch.(有一天,兩個漁夫在游泳池里釣魚。他們倆都期待著得到一個大收獲。)”可知,第一段的3個問句是為了吸引讀者的注意,引出第二段的故事,讓讀者繼續(xù)看下一段。故選C項。
74.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“The first fisherman caught a big and beautiful fish after an hour. He was very happy. He put the fish in his icebox. He would cook it in the afternoon. Soon, the second fisherman also caught a large fish.(一個小時后,第一個漁夫釣到了一條又大又漂亮的魚。他非常高興。他把魚放進他的冰箱里。他會在下午做這條魚。很快,第二個漁夫也釣到了一條大魚。)”可知,在第一個漁夫釣到魚以后,緊接著第二個漁夫也釣到魚。故選B項。
75.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“The first fisherman felt strange and asked, "Why are you throwing the fish back into the water? They were beautiful and big!"(第一個漁夫覺得很奇怪,問道:“你為什么要把魚扔回水里?他們很漂亮,很大!”)”可知,第一個漁夫?qū)Φ诙€漁夫的行為感到震驚。本故選A項。
76.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“We don't think carefully and this sometimes causes us to lose a chance.(我們沒有仔細思考,這有時會導(dǎo)致我們失去機會。)”可知,文章通過兩個漁夫釣魚的故事,告訴我們要認(rèn)真思考、把握機會。機會是給擅長思考的人準(zhǔn)備的。故選D項。
77.A????78.D????79.D????80.C????81.B

【分析】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了Kickstarter 這一裝置,iPet Companion可以滿足人們對寵物的愛意與關(guān)心,通過遠程遙控陪伴它們玩耍。另外,Kickstarter還可以通過調(diào)節(jié)器控制其他物體,滿足人們的需求。
77.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的“The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. (人們一直談?wù)撨@個的原因是他們千里之外的情感聯(lián)系)”可知,這款裝置可以遠程遙控。故remotely最有可能意為“遙遠地”。故選A。
78.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“It’s called the iPet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching.(它被稱為iPet Companion,是一種連接互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的攝像頭和設(shè)備,可以在線傳輸視頻,并允許觀看者發(fā)出基本命令)”可知,人們只能在可以上網(wǎng)的情況下使用iPet Companion。故選D。
79.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets.(人們一直談?wù)撨@個的原因是他們千里之外的情感聯(lián)系。如果你愿意,你可以輸入一個隊列來移動相機,和寵物一起玩)”可知,人們對這個裝置感興趣,是因為可以通過操作和寵物一起玩,表達他們對寵物的愛。故選D。
80.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the toys and change the place where they’re located in the room.(為了防止這種情況發(fā)生,你最好限制寵物接觸玩具,并改變它們在房間里的位置)”推知,寵物停止玩玩具是因為,玩具經(jīng)常在同一個地方玩,寵物很快就厭倦了。故選C。
81.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的“The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you’d be able to activate to water your grass.(這種適配器可以用在任何帶有電源插頭的設(shè)備上——比如,你可以啟動灑水器來澆灌草坪)”推知,Kickstarter可以通過調(diào)節(jié)控制其他不同的物體,有更多的用途。故選B。
