Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·深圳模拟)Scientists have recently developed a method to 3D-print greener buildings using local soil that they say has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry.
Sarbajit Banerjee, a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at Texas A & M University, said 3D printing was extensively used and allowed them to print entire architectural facades (正面), although getting such structures to meet existing building regulations remained a significant challenge.
Concrete remains the primary material used in many construction projects but it cannot be recycled and requires a lot of energy to mix and transport.The research team's aim is to print structures using the type of soil that can be found in any garden.
“While the widespread use of concrete has made housing accessible and enabled the growth of cities, this has come at a considerable environmental cost,” said Banerjee.
The move to 3D-print concrete threatens to worsen this problem.However, we imagine a new example of construction that uses naturally sourced materials.Using such materials will further pave the way for building designs that are specifically adapted to the needs of the local climate.
What's more, the use of local materials would reduce the need to transport concrete long distances, further reducing the environmental impact of the buildings.
The research team's plan to replace concrete with the earth beneath our feet depends on their ability to improve the soil's ability to stand the weight of the whole house, to which Banerjee said “they are making excellent progress”.
Once they have a clearer idea of the limits of the technology, Banerjee and his team plan to further investigate how it might allow for building on other planets.For instance, they have worked on addressing the problem of building all-weather roads in the subarctic (亚北极区).They hope the technology could one day be used beyond Earth, to create settlements on the moon or even Mars.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
We all want to save money, and with the cost of living on the rise, it's become more important than ever to watch what we spend. One of the biggest increases in our spending at the moment is on energy. __5__ That's why many of us are looking at ways to save energy.
__6__ To try to achieve this, new homes in some countries will be banned from fitting new gas and oil boilers by 2025.Having a heat pump (热泵) instead can help save energy, but it's unaffordable for many people, unless they've got spare cash.
For people who have to live within a tight budget, there are some low-budget solutions to lower energy usage. __7__ Adding rolled-up towels to block the gaps will help. Investing in new double glass windows will certainly prevent heat from leaking, but if it's still too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping.
There are lots of other little things we can do around the home that will help save energy, don't cost a fortune and just require changes to our behaviour. They could be as good as fitting or making something. Put covers on pots and pans when cooking — the food will be ready more quickly. Don't overfill the container when boiling water, and don't leave electrical items on standby. __8__
So, we're being encouraged to make the use of fuel more efficient. __9__ We need to do it to reduce our carbon footprint, so that our energy usage doesn't cost the Earth.
A.Warm air can escape from rooms easily.
B.It's advisable to make the best of energy.
C.But our main aim isn't just a financial saving.
D.The oil, gas and electricity used in our homes are costly.
E.We should consider more about the possible ways to deal with it.
F.Making our home more energy-efficient is the obvious way to save money.
G.A combination of such small measures could reduce energy bills by about 10%.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些在家中通过节约能源减少开支的方法。
5.选D 空前提到目前,我们支出增长最大的方面之一是能源;空后提到这就是为什么我们一直在寻找节能的方法;空处内容应涉及能源方面的花费,故D项承上启下,符合语境。
6.选F 下文提到为了实现这一目标,到2025年,一些国家的新住宅将被禁止安装新的燃气和燃油锅炉,用热泵代替以帮助节省能源。分析本段结构和大意可以看出,空后的“this”指代的应是空处出现的内容,且与节能做法有关。故F项衔接下文,符合语境。
7.选A 空后提到了用卷起的毛巾、双层玻璃窗和厚重的窗帘等物品来阻止热量逸出,A项“温暖的空气可以很容易从房间逸出”衔接下文,符合语境。
8.选G 本段主要讲了可以在家里做很多其他的小事情来节省能源,如烹饪时盖上锅盖,烧开水时不要将容器装得太满,不要让电器处于待机状态。故G项承接上文,符合语境。其中的“such small measures”指代上文提到的做法。
9.选C 空前提到因此,我们被鼓励更加有效利用燃料;空后提到我们需要这样做来减少碳足迹,这样能源使用就不会以破坏地球为代价。故C项“但我们的主要目标并不仅仅是省钱”承上启下,符合语境。
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·重庆一中模拟)“What dance will we be performing for the competition this year?” a student from my high school dance team asked eagerly.I hesitated, knowing that our team was not as skilled or experienced as the others in the competition.“I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we would skip the competition and focus on improving our technique for our end-of-year performance.”“NO!” the team protested.“We've got to compete!” “It's a tradition!”
Indeed, trophies and medals lined the shelves of the dance studio from the past successes of previous teams.But a change in school policies, with an emphasis on academics, had reduced our dance team to a small group of twelve dancers who struggled to execute even the simplest of dance moves.“I'll have to think about it,” I said, hoping they would understand the difficulty of our situation.But their enthusiasm only grew, and they begged and pleaded every day to participate in the competition.To protect their pride, I couldn't tell them they weren't good enough.But I wasn't a miracle worker.And so I hesitated about this dilemma.
Finally, one day, I stepped into the dance studio.“Look at the clock!” I demanded.“We've wasted two full minutes because some of you don't have your choreography (编舞) memorized.If we are entering the competition ...”The rest of my sentence was lost in cheers of delight and applause.“From now on,” I continued when the noise subsided, “you will find the day's practice plan on the board.You will work harder than you've ever worked before, focusing on improving your technique, stamina, and flexibility.And if one of these rules is broken, we will not compete.”
I was certain they would fail to keep this contract, and no one would be embarrassed.But the dancers remained focused, following the rules strictly.Each day witnessed their diligence: practicing their turns, leaps, and extensions, learning new dance styles, and rehearsing their routine.Their progress was so remarkable that even I began to believe in their dream.
When the competition day finally arrived, the team felt ready and confident to take on the world! Their eyes, however, opened wide when they saw the other teams with their impressive choreography, skillful movements, and stunning costumes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then came the turn for my team.
After all the teams had performed, we waited for the results.
参考范文:
Then came the turn for my team.As they stepped onto the stage, I saw their nervousness, but also their determination to succeed.They began to dance, and I watched as their movements flowed together, flawlessly performing each step with precision and grace.They were not the most advanced team, but they danced with heart and passion, giving it their all.And as they finished their performance, the audience erupted in applause.
After all the teams had performed, we waited for the results.As the judges discussed, I could see the anxiety in some of my dancers' eyes.They were so focused on winning that they forgot the true purpose of their hard work: to improve and grow as dancers.And when the results were announced, we did not win first place.But as I looked at my team, I saw the pride and joy in their eyes.They had performed with grace and confidence, and they had done their best.And at that moment, I realized that their success was not measured by a trophy or medal, but by the growth and progress they had made as dancers.
