Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building. Instant Neighborhood Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world. Nested Housing Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp(黄蜂)nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more. Think Schools African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week. Concrete Steps Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression(压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 percent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled. 1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing? A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge. 2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused? A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps. C. Think School. D. Nested Housing. 3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common? A. They use local materials. B. They are affordable to the homeless C. They are high in cost. D. They make construction faster. B When Andres Valencia starts drawing at school, his friends gather around to watch. And they are not the only ones who have noticed his talent. Andres has surprised the art world as Andres by making his first global auction (拍卖). The Californian art talent first picked up a paintbrush when he was five and now sells his pieces for tens of thousands of dollars. He has even been called “Little Picasso”. He uses a stepladder (折梯) to create his larger works and his talent was found early by his parents, Guadalupe, a lawyer, and Elsa, a jewelry designer. They encouraged his work, which is influenced by Pablo Picasso, but just wanted him to enjoy painting. “To be quite honest, we try not to talk too much about it in front of him,” Mr. Valencia, his father, told CNN. “We certainly don’t refer to him as talent or anything like that. We just keep it simple with him. At home, he just does his art.” Mr. Valencia said that he and his wife had resisted calls to homeschool their son so that he could focus more on painting. “We want him to go to school like a normal kid,” he said. “And because he’s a primary school student, he’s not like a lot of artists, who spend six, eight, or ten hours a day painting. He paints after school and on weekends, and he also plays with his friends.” Andres earned global recognition at Miami Art Week. Art Miami director Nick Korniloff said that experts were impressed before they knew Andres’ age. Mr. Korniloff said, “We’ve had everybody attend our shows, all great famous persons, and personalities, but this little boy brought down the house.” Mr. Korniloff was unwilling to predict how much the primary school student’s work may be worth to future investors but was positive that it would last “His works are as good as anything else I’ve seen in a long career,” he said. 4. What was Andres Valencia’s parents’ expectation of him? A. He could focus on his study. B. He could become another Picasso. C. He could enjoy himself painting. D. He could be famous at an early age. 5 Why did Andres Valencia’s parents refuse to homeschool their son? A. They had little time to help him study. B. They wanted him to live a normal life. C They wanted more people to know his talent. D. They planned to make him paint for longer hours. 6. What did Mr. Korniloff think about Andres Valencia’s future? A. He expressed his confidence. B. He showed no interest. C. He voiced his doubts. D. He expressed his disappointment. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. A little boy brought about a change in drawing. B. A little boy turned his interest into a career. C. A little boy excited the world with his paintings. D. A little boy’s works were put up for global auction. C On the traditional Chinese calendar, Qingming, meaning clear and bright, falls on the fourth or fifth day of April. Across China the arrival of Qingming is accompanied by rising temperatures and frequent rain. Like other solar terms, Qingming is to guide the agricultural affairs and farming activities. Besides, it is also a time for people to enjoy spring and get closer to nature as trees turn ever greener and flowers bloom. Besides being one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms, Qingming is also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, when people honor their ancestors and deal with the feelings of losing loved ones. Qingming is the only Chinese public holiday that is also one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms. Though the solar term Qingming was first recorded in the Western Han Dynasty, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was declared a national holiday to honor ancestors. People celebrate the festival with customs from another traditional Chinese festival, Hanshi, meaning “cold meal”, which falls two days before Tomb Sweeping Day. On that day, families get together and visit their ancestors’ tombs. They have the tombs cleaned, replace withered flowers with fresh ones and place snacks, fruits and drinks to the ancestors. Special food is served on Tomb Sweeping Day. Qingtuan with sweet fillings is one of the most popular foods. Boiled eggs are also associated with Qingming, with some areas following the tradition of egg painting. “Qingming shows the traditional Chinese value of honoring the dead,” says Zhang Bo, a secretary-general of the China Folklore Society, “We miss the dead family members. We show our respect to them, honor them and will always remember them. Though the celebrations of the particular festival has gone through many changes, the spirit of the festival never changes.” 8. Who usually benefits from the solar terms according to the passage? A. The farmer. B. The scientist. C. The teacher. D. The fisher. 9. Why does Qingming differ from other solar terms? A. Because it has the longest history. B. Because it is the only solar term regarded as a public holiday. C. Because it is the only solar term for people to get close to nature. D. Because it was the first solar term recorded in the Western Han Dynasty. 10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for celebrating Qingming. B. The activities during the tomb sweeping. C. The special foods served on Qingming. D. The celebrations on the Tomb Sweeping Day. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Qingming plays an important role in Chinese culture. B. The way of celebrating Qingming is the same as before. C. The spirit of Qingming has experienced some changes. D. Zhang Bo suggests everyone should celebrate Qingming every year. D It is not only the environment, weather and the economy, but also culture and traditions around the world that are threatened by a warmer climate. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and the University of Queensland in Australia have mapped what little is known about how climate change is eroding local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of indigenous(本土的)people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson, a researcher at Lund University. Guy Jackson is one of the authors of a literature study that includes 100 scientific articles. One of the conclusions of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a cultural site or historic building. In addition, Guy Jackson also pointed out in the study that the loss of cultural heritage is a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening. Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson. The study shows a clear connect ion between loss of cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that for the Inuit in Canada, identity is closely linked to the environment: “Inuit people are people of the sea ice. If there is no more sea ice, how can we be people of the sea ice?” According to Guy Jackson, this could lead to several consequences(结果). Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social cohesion(凝聚力), as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes. 12. What does the underlined word “eroding” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Controlling. B. Destroying. C. Increasing. D. Improving. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The future of cultural heritage. B. The material value of cultural heritage. C. The conclusions that Guy Jackson drew from his study. D. The contribution Guy Jackson made to protect cultural heritage. 14. Why does the author mention the Inuit in the passage? A. To highlight the importance of cultural diversity around the world. B. To emphasize the need for practical solutions to climate change. C. To show the connection between cultural heritage and social cohesion. D. To prove the relation between the natural environment and cultural heritage. 15. Which of the following might Guy Jackson agree with? A. Loss of cultural heritage hasn’t happened so far. B. Cultural her it age is mainly viewed as something non-material. C. Loss of Indigenous culture could stop the society from developing. D. Loss of cultural heritage brings more challenges to solving climate change. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some multi-story (多层) buildings are designed with a “soft” level that offers significantly less support than the levels above or below it. These buildings are called soft-story buildings. These floors cannot deal with the destructive forces caused by an earthquake. ____16____This will cause what is known as the “soft-story collapse (倒塌)”. Soft-story buildings are characterized by having a story that has a lot of open space. ____17____ Hotels and office buildings can also have soft stories. Large retail space (零售空间) or floors with a lot of windows are common in such buildings. If a building has a floor that is 70% less firm than the floor above it, it is considered a soft-story building. This soft story creates a major weak point in an earthquake. Soft stories are classically associated with retail space and parking garages. ____18____ When they collapse, they can make the whole building fall with them, sometimes making the structure unusable. ____19____ When builders apply for a permit to build a new structure, engineers may analyze the plans to ensure that no soft stories are built in. If the building department decides that the building will be structurally unsound in a quake, recommendations for improving the design may be included in the rejection (拒绝) letter. Older buildings are of great concern to building departments and emergency services in areas where earthquakes are common. ____20____ Such projects may be relatively inexpensive, especially when compared with the cost of replacing a soft-story building after it collapses. A. As a result, the soft story may fall. B. A building with a soft story is similar. C. A collapsing building is very dangerous. D. So they are often on the lower stories of a building. E. Parking garages, for example, are often soft stories. F. These buildings are often in need of improvement to make them safer. G. Many areas in an earthquake zone have exact building rules about soft-story buildings. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We moved there on my third birthday.

Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”. 85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day. Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?” “A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him. Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better. A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.” “I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph1: Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5CBACA 6-10 ABCBC 11-15ABABC 16-20 BCCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 蚌埠二中2023-2024学年度高一第二学期5月月巩固检测 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答：字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

And they are not the only ones who have noticed his talent. Andres has surprised the art world as Andres by making his first global auction (拍卖). The Californian art talent first picked up a paintbrush when he was five and now sells his pieces for tens of thousands of dollars. He has even been called “Little Picasso”. He uses a stepladder (折梯) to create his larger works and his talent was found early by his parents, Guadalupe, a lawyer, and Elsa, a jewelry designer. They encouraged his work, which is influenced by Pablo Picasso, but just wanted him to enjoy painting. “To be quite honest, we try not to talk too much about it in front of him,” Mr. Valencia, his father, told CNN. “We certainly don’t refer to him as talent or anything like that. We just keep it simple with him. At home, he just does his art.” Mr. Valencia said that he and his wife had resisted calls to homeschool their son so that he could focus more on painting. “We want him to go to school like a normal kid,” he said. “And because he’s a primary school student, he’s not like a lot of artists, who spend six, eight, or ten hours a day painting. He paints after school and on weekends, and he also plays with his friends.” Andres earned global recognition at Miami Art Week. Art Miami director Nick Korniloff said that experts were impressed before they knew Andres’ age. Mr. Korniloff said, “We’ve had everybody attend our shows, all great famous persons, and personalities, but this little boy brought down the house.” Mr. Korniloff was unwilling to predict how much the primary school student’s work may be worth to future investors but was positive that it would last “His works are as good as anything else I’ve seen in a long career,” he said. 4. What was Andres Valencia’s parents’ expectation of him? A. He could focus on his study. B. He could become another Picasso. C. He could enjoy himself painting. D. He could be famous at an early age. 5. Why did Andres Valencia’s parents refuse to homeschool their son? A. They had little time to help him study. B. They wanted him to live a normal life. C. They wanted more people to know his talent. D. They planned to make him paint for longer hours. 6. What did Mr. Korniloff think about Andres Valencia’s future? A. He expressed his confidence. B. He showed no interest. C. He voiced his doubts. D. He expressed his disappointment. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A A little boy brought about a change in drawing. B. A little boy turned his interest into a career. C. A little boy excited the world with his paintings. D. A little boy’s works were put up for global auction. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了年轻的艺术家Andres Valencia的故事，他五岁开始画画，作品深受艺术界认可，被称为“Little Picasso”，同时文章也展示了他父母对他成长的态度和期望，以及Art Miami总监Nick Korniloff对他的高度评价。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“They encouraged his work, which is influenced by Pablo Picasso, but just wanted him to enjoy painting.(他们鼓励他的工作，受到了Pablo Picasso的影响，但只是想让他享受绘画的乐趣)”可知，Andres Valencia的父母希望他能享受绘画的过程。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Mr. Valencia said that he and his wife had resisted calls to homeschool their son so that he could focus more on painting. “We want him to go to school like a normal kid,” he said.(Valencia先生说，他和他的妻子抵制了让儿子在家上学的呼吁，这样他就可以更专注于绘画。“我们希望他像普通孩子一样上学。”他说)”可知，Andres Valencia的父母拒绝让他在家上学是因为他们希望他过正常的生活。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Mr. Korniloff was unwilling to predict how much the primary school student’s work may be worth to future investors but was positive that it would last “His works are as good as anything else I’ve seen in a long career,” he said.(Korniloff先生不愿预测这位小学生的作品将来对投资者的价值，但他确信这将持久。“他的作品和我在漫长职业生涯中所见过的任何作品一样好。”他说)”可知，Korniloff先生对Andres Valencia的未来持自信态度。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When Andres Valencia starts drawing at school, his friends gather around to watch.

Andres has surprised the art world as Andres by making his first global auction(当安德雷斯·瓦伦西亚在学校开始画画时，他的朋友们围过来观看。他们并不是唯一注意到他天赋的人。安德雷斯以他的第一次全球拍卖让艺术界感到惊讶)”、第四段中的“Mr. Valencia said that he and his wife had resisted calls to homeschool their son so that he could focus more on painting. “We want him to go to school like a normal kid,” he said.(Valencia先生说，他和他的妻子抵制了让儿子在家上学的呼吁，这样他就可以更专注于绘画。“我们希望他像普通孩子一样上学。”他说)”以及最后一段中的“Mr. Korniloff was unwilling to predict how much the primary school student’s work may be worth to future investors but was positive that it would last “His works are as good as anything else I’ve seen in a long career,” he said.(Korniloff先生不愿预测这位小学生的作品将来对投资者的价值，但他确信这将持久。“他的作品和我在漫长职业生涯中所见过的任何作品一样好。”他说)”可知，全文围绕着年轻的艺术家Andres Valencia展开，讲述了他五岁开始画画，作品深受艺术界认可，被称为“Little Picasso”。文章不仅介绍了他的才华，也展示了他父母对他成长的态度和期望，以及Art Miami总监Nick Korniloff对他的高度评价。C项“A little boy excited the world with his paintings(一个小孩用他的画作让世界为之惊叹)”最能概括文章主题。故选C项。 C On the traditional Chinese calendar, Qingming, meaning clear and bright, falls on the fourth or fifth day of April. Across China the arrival of Qingming is accompanied by rising temperatures and frequent rain. Like other solar terms, Qingming is to guide the agricultural affairs and farming activities. Besides, it is also a time for people to enjoy spring and get closer to nature as trees turn ever greener and flowers bloom. Besides being one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms, Qingming is also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, when people honor their ancestors and deal with the feelings of losing loved ones. Qingming is the only Chinese public holiday that is also one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms. Though the solar term Qingming was first recorded in the Western Han Dynasty, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was declared a national holiday to honor ancestors. People celebrate the festival with customs from another traditional Chinese festival, Hanshi, meaning “cold meal”, which falls two days before Tomb Sweeping Day. On that day, families get together and visit their ancestors’ tombs. They have the tombs cleaned, replace withered flowers with fresh ones and place snacks, fruits and drinks to the ancestors. Special food is served on Tomb Sweeping Day. Qingtuan with sweet fillings is one of the most popular foods. Boiled eggs are also associated with Qingming, with some areas following the tradition of egg painting. “Qingming shows the traditional Chinese value of honoring the dead,” says Zhang Bo, a secretary-general of the China Folklore Society, “We miss the dead family members. We show our respect to them, honor them and will always remember them. Though the celebrations of the particular festival has gone through many changes, the spirit of the festival never changes.” 8. Who usually benefits from the solar terms according to the passage? A. The farmer. B. The scientist. C. The teacher. D. The fisher. 9. Why does Qingming differ from other solar terms? A. Because it has the longest history. B. Because it is the only solar term regarded as a public holiday. C. Because it is the only solar term for people to get close to nature. D. Because it was the first solar term recorded in the Western Han Dynasty. 10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for celebrating Qingming. B. The activities during the tomb sweeping. C. The special foods served on Qingming. D. The celebrations on the Tomb Sweeping Day. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Qingming plays an important role in Chinese culture. B. The way of celebrating Qingming is the same as before. C. The spirit of Qingming has experienced some changes. D. Zhang Bo suggests everyone should celebrate Qingming every year. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国的传统节日——清明节，包括它的日期、气候特点、与农业的关系、节日习俗以及文化意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Like other solar terms, Qingming is to guide the agricultural affairs and farming activities.(和其他节气一样，清明是用来指导农事和农耕活动的)”可知，节气通常是为了指导农业生产，农民会从中受益。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Qingming is the only Chinese public holiday that is also one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms.(此外，清明是唯一一个既是中国公共假日又是二十四节气之一的节气)”可知，清明与其他节气不同之处在于它是唯一一个被视为公共假日的节气。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“On that day, families get together and visit their ancestors’ tombs. They have the tombs cleaned, replace withered flowers with fresh ones and place snacks, fruits and drinks to the ancestors. Special food is served on Tomb Sweeping Day. Qingtuan with sweet fillings is one of the most popular foods. Boiled eggs are also associated with Qingming, with some areas following the tradition of egg painting(在那一天，家人们会聚在一起，去祭拜他们的祖先的坟墓。他们清理坟墓，用新鲜的花替换枯萎的花，并向祖先们献上小吃、水果和饮料。清明节有特别的食物供应，其中甜馅的青团是最受欢迎的食物之一。煮鸡蛋也与清明有关，一些地区遵循着画蛋的传统)”可知本段主要讲述了在清明节这一天，人们会相聚一起去祭扫祖先的坟墓，清理坟墓、换上鲜花、摆放零食、水果和饮料等，还提到了清明节的特色食物，如青团和煮鸡蛋等。所以主要是关于清明节的庆祝活动。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““ Qingming shows the traditional Chinese value of honoring the dead,” says Zhang Bo...Though the celebrations of the particular festival has gone through many changes, the spirit of the festival never changes.(中国民俗学会秘书长张伯说：“清明体现了中国人尊敬逝者的传统价值观。”虽然这个特殊节日的庆祝方式经历了许多变化，但节日的精神从未改变)”可知，清明在中国文化中具有重要地位。故选A项。 D It is not only the environment, weather and the economy, but also culture and traditions around the world that are threatened by a warmer climate. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and the University of Queensland in Australia have mapped what little is known about how climate change is eroding local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of indigenous(本土的)people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson, a researcher at Lund University. Guy Jackson is one of the authors of a literature study that includes 100 scientific articles. One of the conclusions of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a cultural site or historic building. In addition, Guy Jackson also pointed out in the study that the loss of cultural heritage is a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening. Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson. The study shows a clear connect ion between loss of cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that for the Inuit in Canada, identity is closely linked to the environment: “Inuit people are people of the sea ice. If there is no more sea ice, how can we be people of the sea ice?” According to Guy Jackson, this could lead to several consequences(结果). Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social cohesion(凝聚力), as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes. 12. What does the underlined word “eroding” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Controlling. B. Destroying. C. Increasing. D. Improving. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The future of cultural heritage. B. The material value of cultural heritage. C. The conclusions that Guy Jackson drew from his study. D. The contribution Guy Jackson made to protect cultural heritage. 14. Why does the author mention the Inuit in the passage? A. To highlight the importance of cultural diversity around the world. B To emphasize the need for practical solutions to climate change. C. To show the connection between cultural heritage and social cohesion. D. To prove the relation between the natural environment and cultural heritage. 15. Which of the following might Guy Jackson agree with? A. Loss of cultural heritage hasn’t happened so far. B. Cultural her it age is mainly viewed as something non-material. C. Loss of Indigenous culture could stop the society from developing. D. Loss of cultural heritage brings more challenges to solving climate change. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化对世界各地的环境、天气、经济以及文化和传统的影响，特别是对本地居民生活方式的记忆和文化传承的损失。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and the University of Queensland in Australia have mapped what little is known about how climate change is … local knowledge and cultural heritage.(瑞典隆德大学和澳大利亚昆士兰大学的研究人员已经绘制出了关于气候变化如何……当地知识和文化遗产的已知信息)”可知，此处指的是气候变化对当地知识和文化遗产造成的负面影响，即破坏，可推理出“eroding”的含义为“破坏；侵蚀”。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Guy Jackson is one of the authors of a literature study that includes 100 scientific articles. One of the conclusions of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a cultural site or historic building. (盖伊·杰克逊是文献研究的作者之一，该研究包括100篇科学论文。研究的一个结论是，文化遗产主要被视为具有物质价值的东西，如文化遗址或历史建筑)”可知，本段主要介绍了Guy Jackson从他的研究中得出的结论。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that for the Inuit in Canada, identity is closely linked to the environment: “Inuit people are people of the sea ice. If there is no more sea ice, how can we be people of the sea ice?”(例如，当团体失去与物理位置相关的传统时，歌曲和工作方法会发生变化。一篇科学文章指出，对于加拿大的因纽特人来说，身份与环境密切相关：“因纽特人是海冰上的人。如果没有更多的海冰，我们怎么能成为海冰上的人呢？”)”可知，作者提到因纽特人是为了证明自然环境和文化遗产之间的关系。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social cohesion, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life.(传统和文化遗产的丧失会使应对气候变化变得更加困难，并削弱社会凝聚力，因为人们失去了与传统生活方式的联系)”可知，Guy Jackson可能同意文化遗产的丧失为解决气候变化带来了更多挑战的观点。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some multi-story (多层) buildings are designed with a “soft” level that offers significantly less support than the levels above or below it. These buildings are called soft-story buildings. These floors cannot deal with the destructive forces caused by an earthquake. ____16____This will cause what is known as the “soft-story collapse (倒塌)”. Soft-story buildings are characterized by having a story that has a lot of open space. ____17____ Hotels and office buildings can also have soft stories. Large retail space (零售空间) or floors with a lot of windows are common in such buildings. If a building has a floor that is 70% less firm than the floor above it, it is considered a soft-story building. This soft story creates a major weak point in an earthquake. Soft stories are classically associated with retail space and parking garages. ____18____ When they collapse, they can make the whole building fall with them, sometimes making the structure unusable. ____19____ When builders apply for a permit to build a new structure, engineers may analyze the plans to ensure that no soft stories are built in. If the building department decides that the building will be structurally unsound in a quake, recommendations for improving the design may be included in the rejection (拒绝) letter. Older buildings are of great concern to building departments and emergency services in areas where earthquakes are common. ____20____ Such projects may be relatively inexpensive, especially when compared with the cost of replacing a soft-story building after it collapses. A. As a result, the soft story may fall. B. A building with a soft story is similar. C. A collapsing building is very dangerous. D. So they are often on the lower stories of a building. E. Parking garages, for example, are often soft stories. F. These buildings are often in need of improvement to make them safer. G. Many areas in an earthquake zone have exact building rules about soft-story buildings. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. G 20.

Several days ago, when Evan was passing by her store, he saw a closed sign on the store’s door. When the shop remained closed for not just two days, Evan was worried he’d never be able to get his “dream job”. 85-year-old Mrs. Carter was a woman selling flowers for a living and Evan had befriended her when he helped her cross the street one day. Now seeing her again, Evan ran up to her and greeted her. “Can I help you today, Evan? Do you want flowers?” Mrs. Carter asked. Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please hire me?” “A job?” the elderly lady laughed, thinking Evan was too little for that. But Evan proudly replied he knew many things, like making sandwiches and helping his mom get grocery bags from the car. Mrs. Carter laughed and asked Evan how much money she would have to pay him if she hired him. Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom. Her name is Stacey and her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you hire me?” Evan asked. Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. Then for a whole week, Evan would come to Mrs. Carter’s store in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around relieved Mrs. Carter’s boredom while she was working. Some customers thought Evan was lovely and entertaining, so they bought more flowers. Mrs. Carter’s business became better. A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter was emotional. They had grown close for working together, and Evan had become like a grandchild to her. While making a huge bouquet for Evan’s mother, Mrs. Carter secretly placed one envelope into the bouquet. The envelope contained $200. When handing him the bouquet, she said, “Will you come to see me someday, Evan? I’d be delighted to have you here.” “I will!” Evan smiled and waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph1: Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Carrying the flowers, Evan rushed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. Stacey was shocked at the huge bouquet. “Where did you get it?” she asked. When Evan told the whole story, Stacey was delighted and hugged her son closely. Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed the envelope. He pulled it out and found the money in it. “But I told Mrs. Carter not to pay me! I think this got here by mistake!” said Evan. Paragraph 2: Then, Evan and his mom hurried to return the money to Mrs. Carter. When they reached her shop and were about to return the money, Mrs. Carter smiled and said, “It’s my pay for Evan. He did a very good job. Keep it. The flowers are my gift for you.” Stacey was grateful for Mrs. Carter’s kindness and invited her home for dinner that night to celebrate her birthday together. From then on, Stacey started to join Evan in helping Mrs. Carter in her shop and they became friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了8岁的Evan想要去卡特夫人的花店帮忙，卡特夫人觉得Evan太小了，不适合工作，但是在得知Evan只是想用工作换取一束鲜花送给妈妈当礼物时候，卡特夫人很感动，于是同意Evan在花店工作。工作一周后，卡特夫人为Evan的妈妈制作了一大束鲜花，并偷偷放在花里一个装有200美元的信封，Evan同卡特夫人告别。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Evan捧着花冲回家，想给妈妈一个惊喜。”可知，第一段可描写Evan把花送给妈妈，妈妈得知事情经过后非常开心，并且发现200美元的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，Evan和他的妈妈赶紧把钱还给卡特夫人。”可知，第二段可Evan和他的妈妈去找卡特夫人还钱并且最后邀请卡特夫人一起回家并成为朋友的过程。 2.续写线索：给妈妈惊喜——妈妈很开心——发现200美元——去卡特夫人家还钱——卡特夫人拒绝拿回钱——邀请卡特夫人一起庆祝生日——成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.得到：get/obtain/gain/recieve ②.拥抱：hug/hold in one's arms/embrace ③.返还：give back/return 情绪类 ①.感谢：be grateful for/showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude ②.高兴的：delighted /happy /glad 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
