Yasmeen Lari a 65-year-old architect,was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements,but she had never done disaster work before.Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here,she'd be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris() With each passing day,she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work.So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad. Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris,bamboo and mud, Lari's shelters can better withstand disasters.Lari says this local,cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem.Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari's Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube. The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018."We need to believe in people's capacity to bring about change.I treat displaced people as partners,not victiuns.They know what to do,"says Lari. Over the decades,Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist.While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941,she had an unconventional upbringing.At home,her father would talk about the desperate need for housing.Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari.On a family visit to London when she was 15,she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University.She laughs as she recalls her bravery. At age 83,Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs,skills building and self sustaining villages."Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,"she says."That doesn't allow them to serve humanity as much as they could." 24.What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs? A.She felt considerably proud to do disaster-relief work. B.She started a brand-new volunteer working experience. C.She was good at designing earthquake-resistant houses. D.lre reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete. 25.How did Lari make her design practical and environmental? A.By creating an ecosystem. B.By strengthening local buildings. C.By using local sustainable materials.D.By watching DIY videos on YouTube. 26.Why did Lari decide to apply to architecture school? A.Her interest in architecture drove her. B.Her father encouraged her to path unusual. C.Her father talked about the demand for architects. D.Her rich family allowed her to pursue the most of dream. 高一英语期中试卷第4页（共10页） 7 Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari? A.Sensitive and brave. B.Determined and cooperative. C.Honest and generous. D.Sympathetic and eco-responsible. C Removing gender bias Tailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes.Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design.Car seat belts,for example,which date back to the 1880s,are often still more suitable for men,who tend to sit farther back than women when driving.And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-.school bias(偏见；成见)into new products. Consider smart phones.Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman's hand,as are many video-game controllers. An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies-male-run firms receive 82%of venture-capital (VC)funding.Male bosses may be unaware of the problems women face.They may not flag up obvious areas of concern.or ask the right questions when doing their research for a new product design.And once an idea gets the green light,it will then be handled by product-design and engineering teams,three-quarters of whose members are men.These teams often use data to make decisions,but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences.Dependence on historical data,and the lack of data on underrepresented groups,can also create bias in algorithms(算法). Next comes testing.Naturally,designers test original models on their intended customers,but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people.There is also the risk of confirmation bias- designers may listen to what they want to hear,and ignore negative reactions from some groups of users. Tech's design bias needs fixing for moral,safety and business reasons.The ethical importance is obvious:it is wrong that women have to make do with a"one-size-fits-men"world,as Caroline Criado Perez,a writer,puts it.As for safety,regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women-including seat belts-because they are not designed properly. But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias,because huge opportunities are being missed.Women are 50%of the population,and make 70-80%of the world's consumer-spending decisions. Change is coming.The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices,but most now manage just fine."Femtech"start-up companies,which focus on women's health and well-being. may raise MYM I billion by the end of this year.VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women.Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers.For the companies that get it right,that means higher profits.What is holding them back? 28.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means_ A.hits the market B.comes into being 高英还删中试卷第5项（共10页） C.becomes successful D.gets approval 29.What is discussed in Paragraphs 2 and 3? A.Why tech's design bias needs to be fixed.B How gender bias is affecting tech companics. C Where gender bias in product design is rooted.D.Who is to blame for gender bias in tech companies. 30.We can learn from the passage that A.tech companies are unwilling to change B.design bias may result in missed opportunities C.male workers benefit more in engineering teams D.tech companies are poor at making user-friendly products 31.How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design? A.Uncertain. B.Sceptical. C.Positive. D.Negative. 0 The increase in primate(灵长类动物)ecotourism is causing stress-related behaviors in monkcys, according to a new study. The study,led by the University of Portsmouth,looked at the impact of a single engine motor boat approaching a community of proboscis monkeys ()Those monkeys are unusual with their very long noses,which makes them appealing to tourists.And many of the boats carrying the tourists approach the primates quickly and loudly,often reaching the river banks just a few meters away from the wildlife. The researchers conducted the experiment by approaching the monkeys in a motor boat with different speeds and travel distances-fast-close (approaching the monkeys for 10 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of 14.4k m/hr),slow-close (approaching the monkey for 40 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of3.6 km/br),and slow-far conditions (approaching the monkeys for 20 seconds when 100 meters away,at a speed of 3.6 kmn/hr). The results showed that the monkeys displayed stress-related behaviors for longer in the fast-close and slow-close conditions and also reduced feeding as a result of the boat apprvaching in the fast-close condition.Once the boat started to approach,the proboscis monkeys showed repeated scratching ( and often moved quickly backwards to hide in the trees.This could potentially cause the monkeys to leave their safe sleeping sites and to go deep into the forest as it gets dark,where they could face a higher risk of predation(捕食行为). "Collectively,our findings suggest that the approach of a single motor boat led to stress in proboscis monkeys when they were approached as closely as 60 meters from the other side of the river,regardless of the speed of approach,"said Dr Marina Davila-Ross,lead author of the study. The researchers thus propose that guidelines for primate tourism in the riverside areas should include an approach speed of no more than 4 km/hr within 100 meters of the proboscis monkeys.They suggest it is also important to keep a distance,preferably no closer than 60 meters away,from the monkeys. 高英师期种试卷第6页（共0页） "Such information might be helpful for tourists,allowing them to modify (their behaviors when visiting the primates and when encouraging guides to follow the guidelines,"Dr Davila-Ross added. 82.What did the researchers'experiment show about proboscis monkeys? A.They found the slow-close condition most stressful. B.They tended to go hunting when faced with danger. C.They lost their sense of safety at the sound of motorboats. D.They lost their way very casily at the sight of motorboats. 33.What do the researchers advise tourists to do? A.To approach proboscis monkeys less frequently. B.To avoid getting too close to preboscis monkeys. C.To ask guides for more information about proboscis monkeys. D.To behave themselves while trying to feed proboscis monkeys 34.Which of the following may be the writer's attitude towards primate ecotourism? A.Concems. B.Confidence. C.Disapproval. D.Disinterest. 35.What can be the best title of the text? A.Primate Ecotourism:a better understanding of primates B.Primate Ecotourism:getting close to the primates C.Primate Ecotourism:the conservation of primates D.Primate Ecotourism:a negative effect on primate bebavior 第二节七选五（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。 Is going alone in an unknown area the right way to go,or do you want a tour guide to show you the highlights?I think that you can combine the two ways in one trip and have the best of both worlds.3 The best purchase we made was for a bus tour that would take us around the capital and point out all the main sites.That allowed us the next day to travel on foot to the ones we especially wanted to see. Let's look at the San Francisco Bay Area which is another one of my favorite vacation spots.Some areas are so familiar to tourists that it's possible to view the attractions on your own. Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 are good examples.Just by walking a few blocks,you can tour Aquarium of the Bay and the Riptide Arcade on Pier 39. 38 If you go to Alcatraz Island,you have a choice of going alonc,having a live tour guideor being guided by earphones.I would recommend the live tour gudes.I went all three ways,and I received more enjoyment by somcone telling me items interest Iknow Ihad missed on previous tours.t gives you a behind-the-scenes look of colorful Chinatown.The tour covers history,traditions of the local people and culture that you probably wouldn't know or see by travelling alone.
