In a surprising turn of events, Kathleen Murray, a resident of Tasmania, Australia, has secured victory in the globally recognised “World’s Ugliest Lawn (草坪)” competition. What was once considered an eyesore — with dry yellow grass, and drooping plants — has now become a symbol of water-saving inventiveness.
As the champion, Kathleen Murray was awarded a unique prize — a second-hand brown T-shirt generously donated by the 2023 winner. The shirt proudly displays the words: “Proud owner of The World’s Ugliest Lawn,” meaning celebrating the champion’s commitment to sustainable landscaping.
The “World’s Ugliest Lawn” competition had humble beginnings as a local contest on Sweden’s Gotland island. The primary objective was to emphasise the critical importance of saving water and discourage the conventional use of water to maintain green lawns. The region, plagued by frequent droughts and water supply challenges due to geographical limitations in groundwater storage, saw this competition as a creative means to promote a vital message. American actor and environmental advocate Shailene Woodley, known for her roles in the 2014 film The Fault in Our Stars and the HBO TV series Big Little Lies, played a crucial role in launching the international challenge.
Speaking to the ABC, Kathleen Murray shared an interesting aspect of her winning entry. Three wild rats had taken over her property, causing damage to the once-green lawn. Referring to them as her “wildlife of mass destruction”, Murray humorously noted, “I used to think they’d invaded my lawn, but then I realised they’d actually liberated me from ever having to cut it again.” This unexpected twist added a unique touch to her victory, showcasing the original beauty of nature.
Kathleen Murray’s victory in the “World’s Ugliest Lawn” contest symbolises a shift in perspective towards sustainable landscaping practices. As the movement gains strength, individuals worldwide are encouraged to reconsider their approach to lawn care, valuing water conservation over the pursuit of primitive green lawns. The competition, with its unusual charm, stands as a reminder that sometimes, embracing the undeveloped can lead to victory in unexpected ways.
4. Why was a second-hand brown T-shirt mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To show its symbolism.
B. To present its practical value.
C. To reveal the owner’s identity.
D. To encourage charity work.
5. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Swept. B. Ruined. C. Disturbed. D. Characterized.
6. What does Kathleen Murray think of the three wild rats?
A. Frightening. B. Acceptable. C. Useless. D. Lovely.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The New Concept of Beauty Comes into Being
B. The Old View of Destructive Wildlife Needs Correcting
C. The World’s Ugliest Lawn Competition Redefines Sustainability
D. Then Unconventional Prize of an Old T-shirt Surprises the World
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州居民Kathleen Murray在“世界上最丑的草坪”比赛中获胜的故事。

A new study has found that experiencing nature, such as taking a walk in a park or even just viewing photos of a natural setting, encourages healthier food choices.
“We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices,” explained Maria Langlois, assistant professor at Southern Methodist University and first author of the study.
Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years, Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature. In the first study conducted in France, participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city, taking photos along the way. Afterwards, they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet. Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.
But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick? The researchers moved online, and took on more participants. One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains. Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups. “By including a control condition in our work, this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices, but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices,” said Langlois.
With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature.
8. What is Maria Langlois’s study mainly about?
A. The impact of nature on physical exercise.
B. The influence of nature on food choices.
C. The effect of urban environments on health.
D. The comparison of real and virtual experiences.
9. What can we know from the 7-year study?
A. Participants used to take a walk after meals.
B. Participants walked 20 minutes daily before meals.
C. Participants chose healthy food after walking in nature.
D. Participants had fewer food choices when walking in the city.
10 How did the researchers mainly conduct the further study in paragraph 4?
A. By giving reasons. B. By doing interviews.
C. By taking quotations. D. By making classifications.
11. What would urban planners do for future cities?
A. To build more parks. B. To dig more tunnels.
C. To widen the lanes. D. To construct high-rise buildings.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现,体验自然会鼓励人们选择更健康的食物。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices,” explained Maria Langlois, (我们发现,在选择食物时,与味道或其他特性相比,接触大自然会增加人们对健康的重视,玛丽亚·朗格卢瓦解释说,)”可知,Maria Langlois的研究主要是关于自然对食物选择的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.(那些在大自然中散步的人比在城市里散步的人吃的零食更健康。)”可知,从7年的研究中我们知道参与者在大自然中散步后选择了健康的食物。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains.(研究人员给一组人看的是一间酒店房间的照片,从窗户可以看到自然环境,而另一组人看的是城市环境。第三个控制组没有窗户,他们拉着窗帘)”可知,研究者主要通过分类来进行进一步的研究。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature.(预计到2050年,世界上近70%的人口将生活在城市化地区,这项研究可以为城市规划者提供有关其设计对健康影响的重要见解。人们还希望通过强调自然的好处来促进环境保护工作,因为人们意识到,我们需要自然。)”可推知,城市规划者将为未来的城市建造更多的公园。故选A。

Superhighways of vessels (血管) beneath our skin transport blood and nutrients. These natural pathways branch out like tree limbs to help our body move food and oxygen to our organs. Our bodies make vessels naturally, but bioengineers also want to make them artificially. And now a team of engineers has found a cool new way to do that in the lab: They use ice.
To make the vessels, the engineers first needed a template (模板) from which to build the tissue. “Originally, we were trying to do this with wax (蜡),” says Ozdoganlar, a mechanical engineer who’s leading the new vessel-building project at Carnegie Mellon University. But wax proved “too soft,” he says. “And it’s not necessarily biocompatible (生物兼容的),” or suitable for use in the body. Then they thought of Elsa’s magic in a Disney movie Frozen.
Ice seemed like a good alternative to wax. It costs little and is readily available. And since it’s not poisonous, the body won’t reject it. And printing the ice template is simple. First, engineers program its shape into a 3-D printer. The printer then drops water onto a very cold surface. The printer repeats this process until the vessel’s shape is complete. In all, it takes less than 30 seconds. This icy vessel template is then encased in gelatin, a clear substance without any taste. Shining ultraviolet light on the gelatin hardens it as the ice melts away. What’s left are realistic-looking channels for blood to move through.
So far, the Carnegie Mellon team has tested the gel channels with endothelial cells. These are the cells that line the inner walls of blood vessels. In one experiment, those cells survived two weeks lining the artificial vessels. This is promising, but there is still a long way to go before such replacement vessels could be transplanted into people.
In the future, such artificial vessels could be used as part of lab-made organs to save the lives of people urgently awaiting donated organs for transplant. “This is really a game changer,” says Ozdoganlar.
12. What inspired the team of engineers to use ice instead?
A. The movie Frozen. B. Its low cost.
C. The new project. D. Its easy availability.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The differences between ice and wax.
B. The reason for printing the ice template.
C. The application of 3-D printing technology.
D. The advantages of ice as vessel printing stuff.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The lab can mass produce organs for use.
B. The technology is not yet mature at this point.
C. The artificial vessels will be put to use soon.
D. The organ transplantation is easier to perform.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To sing high praise for engineers’ work.
B. To make known a technical innovation.
C. To promote vessels made by using ice.
D. To encourage technological innovation.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了工程师们如何利用冰来在实验室中制造血管的新方法,详细描述了制造过程、使用的材料、实验结果以及未来应用前景。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Originally, we were trying to do this with wax (蜡),” says Ozdoganlar, a mechanical engineer who’s leading the new vessel-building project at Carnegie Mellon University. But wax proved “too soft,” he says. “And it’s not necessarily biocompatible (生物兼容的),” or suitable for use in the body. Then they thought of Elsa’s magic in a Disney movie Frozen.(“最初,我们尝试使用蜡来做这件事,”卡内基梅隆大学负责新血管制造项目的机械工程师Ozdoganlar说。但他表示,蜡“太软”,“而且不一定具有生物相容性”,即不适合在人体中使用。然后,他们想到了迪士尼电影《冰雪奇缘》中艾莎的魔法。)”可知,工程师们最初尝试使用蜡来制造血管模板,但蜡太软且不一定具有生物相容性。然后他们想到了迪士尼电影《冰雪奇缘》中艾莎的魔法,这启发了他们使用冰来制造血管模板。因此,电影《冰雪奇缘》是工程师们使用冰作为替代材料的灵感来源。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Ice seemed like a good alternative to wax. It costs little and is readily available. And since it’s not poisonous, the body won’t reject it. And printing the ice template is simple.(冰似乎是蜡的一个很好的替代品。它成本低廉且易于获得。而且因为它无毒,所以身体不会排斥它。打印冰模板也很简单。)”以及全段内容可知,本段主要讲述了使用冰作为血管打印材料的优点,包括成本低廉、易于获得、无毒以及易于打印等。因此,该段主要讨论了冰作为血管打印材料的优势。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In one experiment, those cells survived two weeks lining the artificial vessels. This is promising, but there is still a long way to go before such replacement vessels could be transplanted into people.(在一项实验中,这些细胞在人工血管内壁存活了两周。这很有希望,但在这种替代血管能够移植到人体之前,还有很长的路要走。)”可知,虽然人工血管已经在实验室中进行了测试,并且内皮细胞在人工血管内壁存活了两周,但是要将这种替代血管移植到人体中还需要很长时间的研究和发展。因此,我们可以推断出这项技术目前还不成熟,还需要进一步的研究和发展。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Superhighways of vessels (血管) beneath our skin transport blood and nutrients. These natural pathways branch out like tree limbs to help our body move food and oxygen to our organs. Our bodies make vessels naturally, but bioengineers also want to make them artificially. And now a team of engineers has found a cool new way to do that in the lab: They use ice.(皮肤下的血管高速公路运输血液和营养物质。这些自然通道像树枝一样伸展开来,帮助我们的身体将食物和氧气输送到我们的器官。我们的身体会自然地制造血管,但生物工程师也想人工制造血管。现在,一组工程师在实验室里找到了一种很酷的新方法:他们使用冰。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了工程师们使用冰来制造血管的新技术,并详细描述了该技术的优点和实验过程。作者的主要目的是让读者了解这一技术创新。故选B。

【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:随后对布料进行染色,染料会渗入裂缝,形成精细的线条,这些线条被称为“冰裂纹”。这里为本句谓语动词,根据并列句的时态可知,本句时态为一般现在时;主语为“these lines”,复数形式,和动词“name”之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are named。

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:不知何故,蜡染技术在中部地区一度失传,但在中国西南部的贵州省,这一技术却在少数民族中代代相传。分析句子成分可知,空处为不定冠词表示泛指,修饰空后的名词“province”。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:现在的中国蜡染有三种基本风格:中国西南部少数民族工匠和乡村妇女自己制作的蜡染产品属于民间艺术品。这里为名词countrywomen的同位语,用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:工厂和作坊为销售而制作的蜡染产品属于工业艺术品。根据句意以及下文的“workshops”可知,空处为名词的复数形式。故填factories。

Brittany Reed was having the kind of day described in the Francesca Battistelli song, ‘This Is The Stuff’. One of those days things just kept going wrong. However, Wyatt Jones, a teenager working at McDonald’s, used stressful moments to do amazing things.
Brittany Reed was tired and stressed as she left football practice with all 3 of her kids in tow. Her 4-year-old son was odd and crying and her 7-year-old soon joined in, too. With everyone worn out from the busy day, Ohio mom Brittany decided to grab dinner from McDonald’s on their way home. Wyatt Jones was the teenager working at McDonald’s who took her order that day.
As Brittany pulled up to the drive-through window after placing her order to pay, all 3 of her kids were “now crying for one reason or the other.” And that’s when it hit Brittany. She’d left her purse at home.
“Well, now I wanted to cry,” she recalled. “I looked at the young man with tears in my eyes just from being stressed and annoyed and said, ‘I am so sorry but I have to cancel that order. I left my purse at home when we went to football tonight’.” Without hesitation and before Brittany could argue, Wyatt pulled out his wallet, swiped his card (刷卡), and paid for the stressed mom’s meal.
As a teenager working at McDonald’s, Wyatt probably didn’t make much. Yet, he firmly declined all of Brittany’s promises to return to the restaurant and pay him back. The young man thought nothing of his act of kindness. To him, it was no big deal. But to Brittany, it meant the world. Brittany realized that it is what we moms are trying to do—raise great humans, and was firmly convinced that this is just the kind of hope our world needs right now. So she was determined to find a way to say thank you and let him know that when you put good out in the world it comes back to you tenfold.

She decided to publicize his deeds. Brittany took to social media to share her heartwarming experience, hoping to inspire more people to do such good deeds. Her post quickly went viral, receiving thousands of likes, shares, and comments from people touched by Wyatt’s selfless act. Many praised him as a role model for young people and expressed their admiration for his generosity. Even Wyatt’s mother knew her son’s good deed from the post. She contacted Brittany to know more about her son’s story.
From Wyatt’s mom, Brittany discovered Wyatt was saving up for a vehicle. She decided to take her appreciation a step further and organized a fundraising campaign to help Wyatt reach his goal. With the support of friends, family, and even strangers who were moved by Wyatt’s story, they were able to raise enough money to buy Wyatt his dream car. When Wyatt took the car keys from Brittany’s hands, tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes. Actually, it was his small act of kindness that brought blessings back to him.

In a surprising turn of events, Kathleen Murray, a resident of Tasmania, Australia, has secured victory in the globally recognised “World’s Ugliest Lawn (草坪)” competition. What was once considered an eyesore — with dry yellow grass, and drooping plants — has now become a symbol of water-saving inventiveness.
As the champion, Kathleen Murray was awarded a unique prize — a second-hand brown T-shirt generously donated by the 2023 winner. The shirt proudly displays the words: “Proud owner of The World’s Ugliest Lawn,” meaning celebrating the champion’s commitment to sustainable landscaping.
The “World’s Ugliest Lawn” competition had humble beginnings as a local contest on Sweden’s Gotland island. The primary objective was to emphasise the critical importance of saving water and discourage the conventional use of water to maintain green lawns. The region, plagued by frequent droughts and water supply challenges due to geographical limitations in groundwater storage, saw this competition as a creative means to promote a vital message. American actor and environmental advocate Shailene Woodley, known for her roles in the 2014 film The Fault in Our Stars and the HBO TV series Big Little Lies, played a crucial role in launching the international challenge.
Speaking to the ABC, Kathleen Murray shared an interesting aspect of her winning entry. Three wild rats had taken over her property, causing damage to the once-green lawn. Referring to them as her “wildlife of mass destruction”, Murray humorously noted, “I used to think they’d invaded my lawn, but then I realised they’d actually liberated me from ever having to cut it again.” This unexpected twist added a unique touch to her victory, showcasing the original beauty of nature.
Kathleen Murray’s victory in the “World’s Ugliest Lawn” contest symbolises a shift in perspective towards sustainable landscaping practices. As the movement gains strength, individuals worldwide are encouraged to reconsider their approach to lawn care, valuing water conservation over the pursuit of primitive green lawns. The competition, with its unusual charm, stands as a reminder that sometimes, embracing the undeveloped can lead to victory in unexpected ways.
4. Why was a second-hand brown T-shirt mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To show its symbolism.
B. To present its practical value.
C. To reveal the owner’s identity.
D. To encourage charity work.
5. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Swept. B. Ruined. C. Disturbed. D. Characterized.
6. What does Kathleen Murray think of the three wild rats?
A. Frightening. B. Acceptable. C. Useless. D. Lovely.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The New Concept of Beauty Comes into Being
B. The Old View of Destructive Wildlife Needs Correcting
C. The World’s Ugliest Lawn Competition Redefines Sustainability
D. Then Unconventional Prize of an Old T-shirt Surprises the World
C
A new study has found that experiencing nature, such as taking a walk in a park or even just viewing photos of a natural setting, encourages healthier food choices.
“We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices,” explained Maria Langlois, assistant professor at Southern Methodist University and first author of the study.
Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years, Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature. In the first study conducted in France, participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city, taking photos along the way. Afterwards, they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet. Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.
But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick? The researchers moved online, and took on more participants. One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains. Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups. “By including a control condition in our work, this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices, but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices,” said Langlois.
With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature.

Superhighways of vessels (血管) beneath our skin transport blood and nutrients. These natural pathways branch out like tree limbs to help our body move food and oxygen to our organs. Our bodies make vessels naturally, but bioengineers also want to make them artificially. And now a team of engineers has found a cool new way to do that in the lab: They use ice.
To make the vessels, the engineers first needed a template (模板) from which to build the tissue. “Originally, we were trying to do this with wax (蜡),” says Ozdoganlar, a mechanical engineer who’s leading the new vessel-building project at Carnegie Mellon University. But wax proved “too soft,” he says. “And it’s not necessarily biocompatible (生物兼容的),” or suitable for use in the body. Then they thought of Elsa’s magic in a Disney movie Frozen.
Ice seemed like a good alternative to wax. It costs little and is readily available. And since it’s not poisonous, the body won’t reject it. And printing the ice template is simple. First, engineers program its shape into a 3-D printer. The printer then drops water onto a very cold surface. The printer repeats this process until the vessel’s shape is complete. In all, it takes less than 30 seconds. This icy vessel template is then encased in gelatin, a clear substance without any taste. Shining ultraviolet light on the gelatin hardens it as the ice melts away. What’s left are realistic-looking channels for blood to move through.
So far, the Carnegie Mellon team has tested the gel channels with endothelial cells. These are the cells that line the inner walls of blood vessels. In one experiment, those cells survived two weeks lining the artificial vessels. This is promising, but there is still a long way to go before such replacement vessels could be transplanted into people.
In the future, such artificial vessels could be used as part of lab-made organs to save the lives of people urgently awaiting donated organs for transplant. “This is really a game changer,” says Ozdoganlar.
12 What inspired the team of engineers to use ice instead?
A. The movie Frozen. B. Its low cost.
C. The new project. D. Its easy availability.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The differences between ice and wax.
B. The reason for printing the ice template.
C. The application of 3-D printing technology.
D. The advantages of ice as vessel printing stuff.
14. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. The lab can mass produce organs for use.
B. The technology is not yet mature at this point.
C. The artificial vessels will be put to use soon.
D. The organ transplantation is easier to perform.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To sing high praise for engineers’ work.
B. To make known a technical innovation.
C. To promote vessels made by using ice.
D. To encourage technological innovation.

Brittany Reed was having the kind of day described in the Francesca Battistelli song, ‘This Is The Stuff’. One of those days things just kept going wrong. However, Wyatt Jones, a teenager working at McDonald’s, used stressful moments to do amazing things.
Brittany Reed was tired and stressed as she left football practice with all 3 of her kids in tow. Her 4-year-old son was odd and crying and her 7-year-old soon joined in, too. With everyone worn out from the busy day, Ohio mom Brittany decided to grab dinner from McDonald’s on their way home. Wyatt Jones was the teenager working at McDonald’s who took her order that day.
As Brittany pulled up to the drive-through window after placing her order to pay, all 3 of her kids were “now crying for one reason or the other.” And that’s when it hit Brittany. She’d left her purse at home.
“Well, now I wanted to cry,” she recalled. “I looked at the young man with tears in my eyes just from being stressed and annoyed and said, ‘I am so sorry but I have to cancel that order. I left my purse at home when we went to football tonight’.” Without hesitation and before Brittany could argue, Wyatt pulled out his wallet, swiped his card (刷卡), and paid for the stressed mom’s meal.
As a teenager working at McDonald’s, Wyatt probably didn’t make much. Yet, he firmly declined all of Brittany’s promises to return to the restaurant and pay him back. The young man thought nothing of his act of kindness. To him, it was no big deal. But to Brittany, it meant the world. Brittany realized that it is what we moms are trying to do—raise great humans, and was firmly convinced that this is just the kind of hope our world needs right now. So she was determined to find a way to say thank you and let him know that when you put good out in the world it comes back to you tenfold.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
