Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning. The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations (幻觉), but she pushed on — managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year, Andrea has set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding females’ health. Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said, “I am so happy all went according to the plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did it, but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, and the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up, I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.” Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars” when she was just four. 4. Why did Andrea create her own charity? A. To help the poor women. B. To promote women’s health. C. To focus on women’s life. D. To raise the status of women. 5. When did Andrea become doubtful during the running? A. When she couldn’t eat B. When she couldn’t sleep. C. When she ran at night D. When she couldn’t give up. 6. What made Andrea finish the race successfully? A. Her strong willpower. B. Her family’s support. C. Thinking of other women who had more pain. D. Thinking of other women who might be in pain or have cancer. 7. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph? A. Andrea liked sports very much. B. Andrea faced huge challenges. C. As a little girl, Andrea won many races. D. Andrea’s success lied in long-term effort. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报导了癌症幸存者Andrea Mason成功完成三项全能运动，并成立自己的慈善机构帮助更多的女性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章第二段中“In the past year, Andrea has set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding females’ health. (在过去的一年里，Andrea成立了自己的慈善机构Lady Talk Matters，以改善周围女性的健康。)”可知，Andrea创建了自己的慈善组织Lady Talk Matters，目的是提高女性的健康意识。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章第三段中“For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. (当然，当我在探索未知的道路上进行如此剧烈的奔跑时，尤其是在黑暗中，我有一些疑虑。)”可知，Andrea在夜间跑步时产生了怀疑。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章第三段中“But every time I felt like giving up, I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.” (但每次我想要放弃的时候，我就会想到所有的女性都在痛苦中，或者还没有被诊断出来。这就是为什么我要经历这一切。)”可知，每次Andrea想放弃时，她都会想到那些正在疼痛或尚未确诊的女性。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段中“You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars” when she was just four. (你可以说Andrea花了一辈子的时间来训练这样的活动。她在四岁的时候完成了她的第一次三英里比赛，“靠巧克力棒提供动力”。)”可知，Andrea的成功在于长期的努力，她从小就开始参加比赛。故选D。 C The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students remember more information when they read a paper book compared to reading an e-book. One school responded to these findings by ditching its e-readers (电子阅读器). The students found that “the ease of navigation (导航)” was greater when using a traditional book. I love the way we now judge printed books using the language of the digital world. E-books may come with “navigational tools,” but it turns out the best navigational tools are the “devices” at the ends of your arms. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward. Fans of digital books may point out that e-readers have a handy “search” tool. Old-fashioned books also have a search function, in which you turn back to the opening part to help you remember the hero’s name. They even have a “bookmark system, ” which uses something called a “bookmark.” Can a traditional book offer all the features of an e-book? Alas, no. It has no “progress bar (进度条)” indicating how much of the book has been read. Luckily, a clever tip is available: turn your book so that it can be viewed from the side or top. It will naturally form two parts joined in the middle. If the left part is thicker than the right one, you are more than halfway through. Admittedly, e-books are lighter than paper books, but one must question whether this is really an advantage. In secondary school my body figure was actually transformed by the daily need to carry textbooks. For me and my fellow students, these weighty books would draw our shoulders back and our chests forward. Educational fashions come and go, so maybe the return of traditional books won’t last. But for the moment, I find myself welcoming their wonderful return. 8. Which expression can best replace the underlined “ditching” in paragraph 1? A. Referring to. B. Getting rid of. C. Getting used to. D. Making use of. 9. What can serve as the “navigational tool” of printed books? A. Bookmarks. B. Fingers. C. The progress bar. D. The opening part. 10. Why does the writer give the example in paragraph 5? A. To explain an opposing idea. B. To provide additional information. C. To support the author’s argument. D. To connect paragraph 5 and 6. 11. What might be the best title? A. Printed books — Great Benefits B. Printed books — A Bright Future C. Printed books — A Welcomed Return D. Printed books — Better than E-books 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕纸质书籍与电子书之间的对比和讨论展开，提出了关于阅读方式、书籍功能、携带便利性等方面的观点和看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Recent studies have shown that students remember more information when they read a paper book compared to reading an e-book(近期研究表明，与阅读电子书相比，学生在阅读纸质书时能记住更多信息)”可知，研究表明学生在阅读纸质书时能记住更多信息。再根据划线词组所在句“One school responded to these findings by ditching its e-readers(电子阅读器).(一所学校根据这些研究结果，_____其电子阅读器)”可推测，既然纸质书更好，那么这所学校应该是放弃了电子阅读器。所以，划线词ditching为“放弃”之意。选项A“Referring to (提及)”；选项B“Getting rid of (摆脱、除去)”；选项C“Getting used to (习惯于)”；选项D“Making use of (利用)”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“E-books may come with “navigational tools,” but it turns out the best navigational tools are the “devices” at the ends of your arms. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward.(电子书可能配备了“导航工具”，但事实证明，最好的导航工具是你手臂末端的“装置”——你可以用它们来前后翻页。)”可推测，这里的“手臂末端的‘装置’”指的就是手指，所以手指可以作为纸质书的“导航工具”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Admittedly, e-books are lighter than paper books, but one must question whether this is really an advantage. In secondary school my body figure was actually transformed by the daily need to carry textbooks. For me and my fellow students, these weighty books would draw our shoulders back and our chests forward.(诚然，电子书比纸质书轻，但人们不禁要问，这真的是一个优势吗？在中学时，我每天需要携带课本，这实际上改变了我的体型。对我和我的同学们来说，这些沉重的书籍让我们的肩膀后展，胸部前挺)”可推测，作者给出了自己中学时因为每天需要携带课本而塑造了体型这一例子，这个例子支持了作者的观点，即电子书轻便这一特点并不一定是优势，因为携带纸质书也可以带来一些好处，如塑造体型。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students remember more information when they read a paper book compared to reading an e-book.(纸质书籍回归了。近期研究表明，与阅读电子书相比，学生在阅读纸质书时能记住更多信息)”以及全文内容可知，文章从多个方面对纸质书籍和电子书进行了对比和讨论，最后一段提到“But for the moment, I find myself welcoming their wonderful return(但就目前而言，我发现自己对它们美妙回归表示欢迎)”点明了文章的主旨，即纸质书籍的回归是受欢迎的，即“印刷书籍-欢迎回归”可能是最好的标题。故选C。 D In the ancient walled city of Sana’a, mud (泥) skyscrapers rise high into the sky. The towering structures are built entirely out of earth and decorated with amazing geometric patterns. The local mud architecture is so unique that the city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. . Even though the buildings in Sana’a are thousands of years old, the ancient structures are still inhabited today and most remain private houses. It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal — they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. Architects around the world are reviving (复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat. Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes? The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Concrete, a common modern construction material, has a huge carbon footprint. Replacing concrete with less polluting materials is important to achieving our climate goals, scientists warn. The ancient material, mud, could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete, according to Damluji. Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable. She says, “If you want to pull down a wall or change the design, you can recycle all the materials.” An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces the need for air conditioning units, which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions. Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather, such as heatwaves, floods and droughts, which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise. Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design. 12. Which of the following is TRUE about mud materials according to the passage? A. They can reduce the chance of extreme weather events. B. They can be ideal for sustainable construction of the future. C. They might produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. D. They might cause substantial temperature changes. 13. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Mud might be an important solution to the climate crisis. B. Rebuilding mud construction would take great efforts. C. Mud has become architects’ favourite building material. D. The mud buildings in Sana’a are no longer suitable to live in. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards raw-earth construction in the building industry? A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Supportive. 15. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Historic Cities Mark Human Civilization B. Construction Industry Threatens Climate Goals C. Modern Architecture Survives Extreme Weather D. Ancient Material Makes for Future House Designs 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了萨那古城中独特的泥制建筑，包括其历史、特点、优势以及在现代建筑中的潜在应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal—they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. (不难理解为何这些泥制建筑仍未失去其魅力——它们隔热性好、可持续性强，且非常适合现代使用。“这是未来的建筑，”泥砖建筑基金会联合创始人Damluji说道)”可知，泥土材料被视为未来可持续建筑的潜在选择。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The ancient material, mud, could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete, according to Damluji. Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable.( Damluji认为，古老的泥土材料可能是混凝土的理想可持续替代品。用泥土建造对环境的影响非常小，且材料本身完全可回收)”以及“An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces the need for air conditioning units, which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions. Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather, such as heatwaves, floods and droughts, which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise.(另一个好处是，泥制建筑在冬天保暖、夏天凉爽。这减少了空调设备的需求，而空调设备会消耗大量电力，并含有构成温室气体排放的制冷剂。泥制建筑还极其坚固，能够抵御热浪、洪水和干旱等极端天气，科学家表示，随着气温持续上升，这些极端天气将变得更加频繁和剧烈。)”可知，文章中提到泥土建筑是可持续的，且用泥土建造对环境的影响非常小，材料本身完全可回收。此外，泥制建筑在极端天气下表现出色，且能减少空调设备的需求，从而降低温室气体排放。这些都表明泥土是一种应对气候危机的潜在解决方案。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design.(因此，希望住在现代、舒适住宅中的人应考虑泥制住宅。总的来说，它实现了高度先进且可持续的设计。)”以及全文内容可知，作者提到了生土建筑的多个优点，如可持续性、低环境影响、材料可回收性以及在极端天气下的出色表现等。这些描述都表明作者对生土建筑持支持态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Architects around the world are reviving (复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat. Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes?(随着世界各地建筑师寻求建造能够抵御洪水肆虐和酷暑等极端天气的可持续建筑，他们正在复兴生土建筑。这种古老的建筑形式能否影响我们未来住宅的设计呢？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了古老的泥土材料如何成为未来可持续建筑的理想选择，并详细描述了其优点和在现代建筑中的应用潜力。故选D。 E There is something to be said for being a generalist even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life. Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment (投入) to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up. Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排除) of others can hold back your true spirit. Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills. Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.” These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy. 16. To become a specialist, what does one person may have to do? A. Narrow his range of knowledge. B. Avoid responsibilities at work. C Know more about the society. D. Broaden his perspective on life. 17. What do the specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to do? A. Treasure their freedom. B. Travel around the world. C. Spend most time working. D. Enjoy meeting funny people. 18. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________. A. is fully aware of his talent and ability B. is a pure specialist in medicine C. should love poetry and philosophy D. brings knowledge of other fields to work 19. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni? A. Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success. B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible. C. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit. D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected. 20. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. How to turn a generalist into a specialist. B. There are some ways to become a generalist. C. We should be more a generalist than a specialist. D. It’s hard to decide to be a generalist or a specialist. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了要当一个多面手，而不是当某方面的专家。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment (投入) to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to know more and more about less and less. (社会推动我们专业化，成为专家。这需要致力于某一特定的职业、学习或研究领域。成为专家的缺点是，我们往往知道的越来越少，越来越少)”可知，成为一名专家，了解到的知识领域会越来越少，会缩小他的知识范围。故选A。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. (有些人似乎愿意在自己狭窄的专业领域夜以继日地工作。但这样的承诺也会削弱一种自由感。这些专家可能每天晚上在办公室工作到10点，然后回过头来发现，他们本想回家享受家人和朋友的甜蜜，或者去令人兴奋的地方旅行，结识有趣的人)”可知，这些专家往往花大部分的时间在工作上。故选C。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills. (这位既是诗人又是哲学家的医生是一位优秀的医生，他能给他的病人提供比良好的医术更多的东西)”可知，作者认为一名优秀的医生可以将其他领域的知识带到工作中。故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段中“Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.” (事物是相互联系的。让你在一个领域的专业知识激发你在所有相关领域的热情。你的一些兴趣可能看起来没有联系，但一旦你深入探索，你就会发现它们是联系在一起的。我的编辑托尼也是一名作家，她编辑过几本历史书。她已决定学习中国历史。作为一名画家，她被紫禁城的结构之美所吸引，同时也对学习更多中国哲学感兴趣。“我不知道它会走向何方，但我对自己的追求感到兴奋。”)”可知，作者想通过Toni的例子说明看似不相关的兴趣，如果深入探索的话，在某种程度上是有联系的。故选D。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段中“There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. (即使你是一个专家，做一个通才也是有好处的)”可知，文章论述了要当一个多面手，而不是当某方面的专家。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one.

Sky wells managed____45____(cool) buildings in an era well before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】maintaining##to maintain 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：对于运动员来说，保持积极的公众形象和高媒体知名度是必要的。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少主语。所以用动名词或不定式作主语。动词“维持”英文为maintain。根据汉语提示及句意，故填maintaining/to maintain。 54.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】embarrassed 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：意识到认错人后，詹姆斯给了我一个尴尬的表情。此处需用形容词embarrassed“尴尬的”修饰名词look，作前置定语，体现主语James的感情。故填embarrassed。 55.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】communicating 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一个人与当地人交流的困难会影响他在旅行中的体验。that引导限制性定语从句，先行词是trouble，指物，关系词that代替先行词trouble在从句中作has的宾语，have trouble (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，所以此处用communicate的动名词形式作宾语。故填communicating。 56. The ambulance arrived at the scene very soon and the injured ________ (rush) to the nearby hospital. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】were rushed 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态。句意：救护车很快到达了现场，伤者被迅速送往附近的医院。空处为句子的谓语动词。根据前一句话中的arrived可知，本句话为一般过去时态。该动词和主语the injured之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时态的被动语态。“the+形容词”表示一类人，在句中作主语时，谓语动词用复数。故填were rushed。 57.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】approaching 【解析】 【详解】考查现在分词。句意：随着新年的到来，街道上装饰满满，营造了节日的气氛。本句用with的复合结构，即“with+宾语+宾补”，且the new year与approach“接近”为主动关系，用现在分词，作宾补。故填approaching。 62. The boy ________ (organise) his words nervously when he heard a voice behind him. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】was organising 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：当他听到身后有一个声音时，男孩正在紧张地组织自己的语言。本句用固定句型“was/were doing... when...”，主句使用过去进行时，且主语The boy和organise“组织”为主动关系，主语为第三人称单数，be动词用was，故用was organising。故填：was organising。 63. When ________ (chat) online, you can find some abbreviations that are difficult to understand. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】chatting 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：当你在网上聊天时，你可能会发现一些难以理解的缩写。当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且含有be动词时，可以省略从句中的主语和be动词。本句话中when引导时间状语从句，完整的句子为When you are chatting online, you can find some abbreviations that are difficult to understand.所以可以把从句中的主语you和are省略，剩下现在分词，作状语。故填chatting。 64.

B A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting “Sea to Summit” triathlon which saw her swim, cycle, and run over 330 miles in just five days. Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning. The race was set in the French Alps. Setting off at 6:15am on Friday, 39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain, and hallucinations (幻觉), but she pushed on — managing to complete the race in an impressive four days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes. Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery. Following a successful operation, she is now hoping to raise awareness of women’s health. In the past year, Andrea has set up her own charity, Lady Talk Matters, in order to improve surrounding females’ health. Andrea, from Blackpool in Lancashire, England, said, “I am so happy all went according to the plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong. I wanted to do it in five days, and I did it, but it was very tough. I had some low moments, particularly when I couldn’t sleep in my limited rest periods, and when I couldn’t keep any food down as I was running. For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run, particularly as large parts of it were in the dark. It was bigger than I imagined, and the impact on my body was huge. But every time I felt like giving up, I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn’t been diagnosed. That is why I put myself through this.” Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy, cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc, and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. You could say Andrea’s actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this. She completed her first three-mile race “powered by chocolate bars” when she was just four. 4. Why did Andrea create her own charity? A. To help the poor women. B. To promote women’s health. C. To focus on women’s life. D. To raise the status of women. 5. When did Andrea become doubtful during the running? A. When she couldn’t eat B. When she couldn’t sleep. C. When she ran at night D. When she couldn’t give up. 6. What made Andrea finish the race successfully? A. Her strong willpower. B. Her family’s support. C. Thinking of other women who had more pain. D. Thinking of other women who might be in pain or have cancer. 7. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph? A. Andrea liked sports very much. B. Andrea faced huge challenges. C. As a little girl, Andrea won many races. D. Andrea’s success lied in long-term effort. C The printed book is back. Recent studies have shown that students remember more information when they read a paper book compared to reading an e-book. One school responded to these findings by ditching its e-readers (电子阅读器). The students found that “the ease of navigation (导航)” was greater when using a traditional book. I love the way we now judge printed books using the language of the digital world. E-books may come with “navigational tools,” but it turns out the best navigational tools are the “devices” at the ends of your arms. You can use them to flip the pages forward and backward. Fans of digital books may point out that e-readers have a handy “search” tool. Old-fashioned books also have a search function, in which you turn back to the opening part to help you remember the hero’s name. They even have a “bookmark system, ” which uses something called a “bookmark.” Can a traditional book offer all the features of an e-book? Alas, no. It has no “progress bar (进度条)” indicating how much of the book has been read. Luckily, a clever tip is available: turn your book so that it can be viewed from the side or top. It will naturally form two parts joined in the middle. If the left part is thicker than the right one, you are more than halfway through. Admittedly, e-books are lighter than paper books, but one must question whether this is really an advantage. In secondary school my body figure was actually transformed by the daily need to carry textbooks. For me and my fellow students, these weighty books would draw our shoulders back and our chests forward. Educational fashions come and go, so maybe the return of traditional books won’t last. But for the moment, I find myself welcoming their wonderful return. 8. Which expression can best replace the underlined “ditching” in paragraph 1? A. Referring to. B. Getting rid of. C. Getting used to. D. Making use of. 9. What can serve as the “navigational tool” of printed books? A. Bookmarks. B. Fingers. C. The progress bar. D. The opening part. 10. Why does the writer give the example in paragraph 5? A. To explain an opposing idea. B. To provide additional information. C. To support the author’s argument. D. To connect paragraph 5 and 6. 11. What might be the best title? A. Printed books — Great Benefits B. Printed books — A Bright Future C. Printed books — A Welcomed Return D. Printed books — Better than E-books D In the ancient walled city of Sana’a, mud (泥) skyscrapers rise high into the sky. The towering structures are built entirely out of earth and decorated with amazing geometric patterns. The local mud architecture is so unique that the city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. . Even though the buildings in Sana’a are thousands of years old, the ancient structures are still inhabited today and most remain private houses. It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal — they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. Architects around the world are reviving (复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat. Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes? The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Concrete, a common modern construction material, has a huge carbon footprint. Replacing concrete with less polluting materials is important to achieving our climate goals, scientists warn. The ancient material, mud, could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete, according to Damluji. Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable. She says, “If you want to pull down a wall or change the design, you can recycle all the materials.” An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces the need for air conditioning units, which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions. Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather, such as heatwaves, floods and droughts, which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise. Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design. 12. Which of the following is TRUE about mud materials according to the passage? A. They can reduce the chance of extreme weather events. B. They can be ideal for sustainable construction of the future. C. They might produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. D. They might cause substantial temperature changes. 13. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Mud might be an important solution to the climate crisis. B. Rebuilding mud construction would take great efforts. C. Mud has become architects’ favourite building material. D. The mud buildings in Sana’a are no longer suitable to live in. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards raw-earth construction in the building industry? A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Supportive. 15. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Historic Cities Mark Human Civilization B. Construction Industry Threatens Climate Goals C. Modern Architecture Survives Extreme Weather D. Ancient Material Makes for Future House Designs E There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life. Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment (投入) to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is that we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up. Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排除) of others can hold back your true spirit. Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills. Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.” These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy. 16. To become a specialist, what does one person may have to do? A. Narrow his range of knowledge. B. Avoid responsibilities at work. C Know more about the society. D. Broaden his perspective on life. 17. What do the specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to do? A. Treasure their freedom. B. Travel around the world. C. Spend most time working. D. Enjoy meeting funny people. 18. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________. A. is fully aware of his talent and ability B. is a pure specialist in medicine C. should love poetry and philosophy D. brings knowledge of other fields to work 19. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni? A. Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success. B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible. C. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit. D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected. 20. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. How to turn a generalist into a specialist. B. There are some ways to become a generalist. C. We should be more a generalist than a specialist. D. It’s hard to decide to be a generalist or a specialist. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one.
