It’s one of the most breathtaking areas of the US in terms of nature and landscape. That’s where his passion grew, but he has since taken that passion all over the world. His subjects are wild animals and their habitats. His compositional skills are incredible, so his wildlife shots are always striking and unique. Daniel Ernst Daniel Ernst is a German nature and travel photographer based in Frankfurt. He considers himself as “a photo-creator and story-teller”. He travels the world and shoots nature, adventure, and lifestyle images. He said this about his art, “With my photography and stories, I want to inspire people to leave the rush behind, escape routine, go outdoors, explore and experience nature.” Marina Cano Marina Cano is a Spanish photographer based in Cantabria. She has been photographing since she was a teenager, and her photographs are world-famous. She has also published several books. Her book Cabárceno has pictures from three years spent in the largest Wildlife Park in Europe. The other two books are Drama & Intimacy and Inspiración + Naturaleza. Thomas Heaton Thomas Heaton comes from the UK, the northeast, to be more exact. He makes his mark in outdoor photography by focusing on landscapes and nature. His YouTube channel is popular around the world. It’s full of tips and techniques to help the viewers take better images. His friendly and insightful approach to his work brings him many appreciative followers. 1. Where did Art Wolfe develop his passion for wildlife and nature? A. In Frankfurt. B. In Cantabria. C. In Washington State. D. In the UK. 2. Which photographer regards himself as “a photo-creator and story-teller”? A. Art Wolfe. B. Daniel Ernst. C. Marina Cano. D. Thomas Heaton. 3.

He considers himself as ‘a photo-creator and story-teller’. (丹尼尔·恩斯特是一名德国自然和旅行摄影师，现居法兰克福。他认为自己是“一个照片创造者和故事讲述者”。)”可知，Daniel Ernst认为自己是“照片的创造者和故事的讲述者”。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“His You-Tube channel is popular around the world. It’s full of tips and techniques to help the viewers take better images. (他的YouTube频道在全世界都很受欢迎。它充满了技巧和技术，以帮助观众拍出更好的图像。)”可知，Thomas Heaton的YouTube频道很受欢迎，里面都是帮助观众拍摄更好的照片的技巧和建议。故选C。 B Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York scholar and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr. Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr. Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr. Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr. Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead, her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr. Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 4. What did Wendell Berry’s friends think of his decision to move to Port Royal? A. They thought he was crazy. B. They supported his decision. C. They thought it was a wise move. D. They were indifferent to his choice. 5. What do Mr. Berry’s writings often imply? A. The challenges of farming in old days. B. The harmony between man and nature. C. The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D. The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 6. What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A. They are from the same novel. B. They both choose to live alone. C. They are victims of country life. D. They both find their values again. 7. What kind of life may suit Mr. Berry’s taste best? A. Rural life with modern facilities. B. Urban life in old-fashioned ways. C. Rural life with poor equipment. D. Rural life with distant connections. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在Berry看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His friends thought he was mad.(他的朋友们认为他疯了。)”以及上文可知，Berry的朋友认为他搬去Port Royal的决定是疯狂的。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr. Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.(在1977年出版的《美国的不安》中，贝里批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义将农业与文化分离，使人们与自然脱节。)”可推知，Berry的作品通常批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏，暗示了人要与自然的和谐。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding ‘the wealth of an intimate history’ in belonging to ‘his ancestral place’. In Hannah Coulter, Mr. Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead, her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.(在短篇小说《残缺》中，安迪·卡特利特失去了一只手，变成了一个孤独的人。他认为自己的撤退是错误的，于是重新与这座城镇联系，在属于‘他的祖籍’中找到了‘亲密历史的财富’。在贝里的第七部小说《汉娜·库尔特》中，主人公汉娜·库尔特在经历了悲伤的生活后变老，当她的孩子们离开去城市找工作时，她预计会感到孤独。相反，当她的孙子回来经营农场时，她的希望又回来了。)”可知，卡特利特和库尔特的共同点在于两者都重新找到了自己的价值。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第二段“Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses.(自1964年搬到皇家港以来，他一直过着19世纪的生活，用手写字，用马犁地。)”可推知，Berry会更倾向于过一种少机器参与的乡村生活。故选C项。 C Everything’s bigger in Texas, where even 3D printers take on a huge appearance. Soon, it will be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has just begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Passers-by won’t see the framework that typically comes with construction. Photos of the site show a massive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This enormous machine, called the Vulcan, was developed by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON. When the Vulcan constructs walls, it looks like “an inkjet printer with a cartridge (墨盒) going back and forth”, Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, described it. The project is a cooperation between Lambert, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert seeks to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 residential homes on a new 40-acre property. According to ICON, 3D printing will provide new ways to build and offer greater flexibility in architectural designs. “I’ve never been able to build with such little restriction…” Lambert tells Reuters’ Evan Garcia. “It’s an incredible way to build.” Images of the hotel’s inside reveal cream-colored walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive strength (压缩强度) of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch. “The mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to fit into the landscape of Marfa,” as Lambert tells the Reuters. ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico, where residents have commented on the strength of their walls and their insulation (隔绝) from the sun. The company also adopts the technology to help address America’s affordable housing crisis. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin for homeless people run by the nonprofit Mobile Loaves & Fishes. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026, and the existing location will be open until 2025. 8. What is special about the construction of El Cosmico hotel? A. It is entirely built by robots. B. It employs a massive 3D printer. C. It is located in the center of Marfa. D. It uses traditional building materials. 9. How does Lambert feel about 3D printing? A. Appreciative. B. Pessimistic. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 10. Why are the local Texas materials used? A. To cut down transportation costs. B. To integrate into the surroundings. C. To improve the safety of the hotel. D. To protect the natural environment. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the Vulcan 3D printer. B. To describe the construction process of El Cosmico. C. To discuss the environmental benefits of 3D printing. D. To highlight the cooperation between ICON and El Cosmico. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上第一个3D打印酒店ElCosmico的建设情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Photos of the site show a massive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. (现场照片显示，一台46.5英尺宽、15.5英尺高的大型3D打印机在地基上铺设了一层又一层沙色材料，形成了沙色的墙壁。)”可知，ElCosmico酒店的建设特点在于它的修建使用到了一台巨大的3D打印机。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s an incredible way to build. (这是一种令人难以置信的建造方式。)”可推知，Lambert对3D打印技术持一种赞赏的态度。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““The mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to fit into the landscape of Marfa,” as Lambert tells the Reuters. (Lambert告诉Reuters：“这种混合物还使用了Texas当地的彩色材料，以适应Marfa的景观。”)”可知，当地材料的应用是为了让这个建筑物与周围的环境能够更好地融合。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“Everything’s bigger in Texas, where even 3D printers take on a huge appearance. Soon, it will be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has just begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. (得克萨斯州的一切都更大，就连3D打印机也不例外，它们都有着巨大的外观。很快，这里将成为世界上第一家3D打印酒店——El Cosmico的所在地，该酒店刚刚开始在Marfa以北的沙漠中建设。)”可知，这篇文章的写作目的是为了介绍EICosmico 酒店的建造过程。故选 B。 D Chickadees (山雀) are beloved backyard birds in North America. Black-capped Chickadees and Carolina Chickadees are especially tough to tell apart, with the same black cap and chin, white cheeks, and gray-buff bodies, along with the same love of seed-filled bird feeders and similar cheeky “chick-a-dee-dee!” calls. Usually the easiest way to tell which of these two chickadees you’re looking at is to consult a map. Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They started to share a “hybrid zone” where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species. In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. By that time Curry had accumulated years’ worth of chickadee blood samples from his field sites, and he had access to tissue samples collected previously by other researchers as well. He and his collaborators used genetic analysis to verify the composition of the chickadee population at each site and looked at how that composition had shifted over time. The researchers’ findings provided confirmation of what bird-watchers had already observed: in a decade and a half the northern edge of the hybrid zone had moved about 20 kilometers north. But why? According to the data collected from eBird in the following years, the northern limit of Carolina Chickadees’ range is roughly the point on the map where the average minimum winter temperature hits minus seven degrees Celsius — and that the rate of their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters. Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone. Meanwhile, there was a strong link between the presence of hybrids and the degree to which habitat in an area had been altered by humans. “I think what we’ve done in these disturbed areas is we’ve planted trees that favor Black-capped Chickadees,” says, “which has increased their populations and then increased the frequency of hybridization between the two species in an artificial way.” “So what will happen? We don’t know yet,” Curry says. “But it will be interesting to see.” 12. What is the easiest way to tell Black-capped Chickadees from Carolina Chickadees? A. Recording their calls. B. Observing their shapes. C. Comparing their looks. D. Studying their habitats. 13. What can we learn about the study in paragraph 3? A. Researchers focused on Chickadees’ behaviour. B. The hybrid zone had a tendency to migrate north. C. Curry gathered all the samples from his field sites. D. The findings differed from those of bird- watchers. 14. What led to hybrid zone expanding north? A. The availability of bird feeders. B. The increased human population. C. The influence of global warming. D. The introduction of new bird species. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Chickadees and Climate Change: A Tale of Adaptation B. The Silent Extinction: Chickadees Losing Their Identity C. Chickadees: Showing How Species Boundaries Can Shift and Blur D. Peaceful Coexistence: Chickadees Thriving Together Across Species Lines 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了北美两种山雀的分布和杂交现象，这种现象模糊了物种之间的界限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. (卡罗莱纳山雀生活在美国的东部和东南部，而黑顶山雀则生活在北美的其他大部分地区)”可知，区分黑顶雀鹀和卡罗莱纳雀鹀最简单的方法是研究它们的栖息地。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 “In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. (2007年，鸟类学家和行为生态学家Robert Curry发表了一篇论文，称杂交区在过去十多年里一直在向北移动。)”可知，第三段中，我们能了解到杂交区域有向北迁徙的趋势。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“the rate of their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters (宾夕法尼亚州的北向扩张速度与变暖的冬季相一致)”以及“Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone.(气候变化实际上只是混合区运动背后故事的一半。)”可知，导致混合区域向北扩张的原因是全球变暖的影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They started to share a “hybrid zone” where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species.(卡罗莱纳山雀生活在美国的东部和东南部，而黑顶山雀则生活在北美的其他大部分地区。然而，在两个物种重叠的广阔、蜿蜒的地带，情况可能会变得模糊不清。它们开始共享一个“杂交区”，在那里它们会定期交配并产下幼崽，模糊了物种之间的界限)”可知，本文主要讲述了北美两种山雀的分布和杂交现象，这种现象模糊了物种之间的界限，所以题目“山雀：展示物种界限如何变化和模糊”符合主题。故选C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。 Active reading: How to become a better reader Every day, we are flooded by vast amounts of information.

He was troubled by the fact that he had to bear all the expenses of the house and responsibility of the whole family and that relatives kept visiting his place. Thinking about all these things, he used to scold (训斥) his children and quarrel with his wife on one or other issue. Gradually, the atmosphere at home was very tense. One day when he was angry with himself for the mistake he made at work, his son Dan came to him and said, “Father, please help me with my homework.” Chris scolded his son and asked him to walk away. But later when he calmed down, he went to his son’s room and saw that his son was asleep, holding a copy of his homework in his hands. Chris took the copy and looked at it quickly. He was about to put it back when he read the title of the homework. It was — Things That We Don’t Like at First but Later Realize That They Are Good. The child had to write a paragraph on this title. Out of curiosity, Chris started reading what his kid had written: I am thankful for my final exams because they upset me in the beginning but after that there are school holidays. I am thankful for medicines that taste bad because they taste bitter at first but they cure my illness. I am also very thankful that I have such a good father because his scolding makes me feel very bad at first but to some extent helps me make some progress in my learning. After reading his son’s homework, Chris was lost in thought. The words written by his child were revolving (回响) in his mind again and again. The man realized something. He sat down for a while and started thinking about his troubles. He had to bear all the expenses of the house, which meant he had a house. He had to bear responsibility of the whole family, which meant he had a wife and children. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed and found himself a lucky man in the world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, he invited his relatives to come to his home to have a dinner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed and found himself a lucky man in the world. He had been so focused on the burdens that he had failed to see the blessings they represented. The house and the family were not just responsibilities but also the warmth and love that he had. His relatives’ visits, though sometimes overwhelming, were opportunities to strengthen family bonds. Chris felt a sense of guilt for taking out his stress on his wife and children. He decided to change, to be more patient and understanding and to cherish the moments with his family and relatives. The next day, he invited his relatives to come to his home to have a dinner. Over a meal filled with laughter and shared stories, Chris expressed his gratitude for their presence in his life. He spoke about the importance of family and how he had come to appreciate their support and company. His relatives, touched by his words, promised to be there for each other more, to help in times of need, and to cherish the moments they spent together. They all agreed to foster a culture of gratitude, to celebrate the good times and to support each other during hard times. 【解析】 【导语】以Chris的生活状态为线索，讲述他因家庭经济负担和亲戚来访的压力，对家人态度恶劣，后因看到儿子作业而反思，意识到拥有的幸福而做出改变，传达出珍惜与感恩的主题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到这一切后，他突然感到如释重负，觉得自己是世界上幸运的人。”可知，第一段可描写反思只看到负担未看到负担背后的幸福，对家人愧疚，决定改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，他邀请亲戚们来家里吃晚餐。”可知，第二段可描写Chris 邀请亲戚聚餐，聚餐时 Chris 表达感激，亲戚受触动承诺相互扶持，营造感恩氛围。 2.续写线索：反思压力——意识到拥有幸福——决定改变——邀请聚餐——表达感恩——形成感恩氛围 3词汇激活 行为类 ①改变：change/transform/alter ②决定：decide/intend/determine ③承诺：promise/pledge/vow 情绪类 ①愧疚感：a sense of guilt /shame ②感谢：express his gratitude for /show his gratitude for/be grateful for 【点睛】[高分句型1] He had been so focused on the burdens that he had failed to see the blessings they represented.

It’s one of the most breathtaking areas of the US in terms of nature and landscape. That’s where his passion grew, but he has since taken that passion all over the world. His subjects are wild animals and their habitats. His compositional skills are incredible, so his wildlife shots are always striking and unique. Daniel Ernst Daniel Ernst is a German nature and travel photographer based in Frankfurt. He considers himself as “a photo-creator and story-teller”. He travels the world and shoots nature, adventure, and lifestyle images. He said this about his art, “With my photography and stories, I want to inspire people to leave the rush behind, escape routine, go outdoors, explore and experience nature.” Marina Cano Marina Cano is a Spanish photographer based in Cantabria. She has been photographing since she was a teenager and her photographs are world-famous. She has also published several books. Her book Cabárceno has pictures from three years spent in the largest Wildlife Park in Europe. The other two books are Drama & Intimacy and Inspiración + Naturaleza. Thomas Heaton Thomas Heaton comes from the UK, the northeast, to be more exact. He makes his mark in outdoor photography by focusing on landscapes and nature. His YouTube channel is popular around the world. It’s full of tips and techniques to help the viewers take better images. His friendly and insightful approach to his work brings him many appreciative followers. 1. Where did Art Wolfe develop his passion for wildlife and nature? A. In Frankfurt. B. In Cantabria. C. In Washington State. D. In the UK. 2. Which photographer regards himself as “a photo-creator and story-teller”? A. Art Wolfe. B. Daniel Ernst. C. Marina Cano. D. Thomas Heaton. 3. Where can people get tips for better outdoor photography from Thomas Heaton? A. From his books. B. From his photographs. C. From his YouTube channel. D. From his social media posts. B Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York scholar and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr. Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr. Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr. Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr. Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead, her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr. Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 4. What did Wendell Berry’s friends think of his decision to move to Port Royal? A. They thought he was crazy. B. They supported his decision. C. They thought it was a wise move. D. They were indifferent to his choice. 5. What do Mr. Berry’s writings often imply? A. The challenges of farming in old days. B. The harmony between man and nature. C. The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D. The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 6. What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A. They are from the same novel. B. They both choose to live alone. C. They are victims of country life. D. They both find their values again. 7. What kind of life may suit Mr. Berry’s taste best? A. Rural life with modern facilities. B. Urban life in old-fashioned ways. C. Rural life with poor equipment. D. Rural life with distant connections. C Everything’s bigger in Texas, where even 3D printers take on a huge appearance. Soon, it will be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has just begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Passers-by won’t see the framework that typically comes with construction. Photos of the site show a massive 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying layer upon layer of sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This enormous machine, called the Vulcan, was developed by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON. When the Vulcan constructs walls, it looks like “an inkjet printer with a cartridge (墨盒) going back and forth”, Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, described it. The project is a cooperation between Lambert, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert seeks to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 residential homes on a new 40-acre property. According to ICON, 3D printing will provide new ways to build and offer greater flexibility in architectural designs. “I’ve never been able to build with such little restriction…” Lambert tells Reuters’ Evan Garcia. “It’s an incredible way to build.” Images of the hotel’s inside reveal cream-colored walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive strength (压缩强度) of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch. “The mixture also uses local Texas materials colored to fit into the landscape of Marfa,” as Lambert tells the Reuters. ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico, where residents have commented on the strength of their walls and their insulation (隔绝) from the sun. The company also adopts the technology to help address America’s affordable housing crisis. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin for homeless people run by the nonprofit Mobile Loaves & Fishes. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026, and the existing location will be open until 2025. 8. What is special about the construction of El Cosmico hotel? A. It is entirely built by robots. B. It employs a massive 3D printer. C. It is located in the center of Marfa. D. It uses traditional building materials. 9. How does Lambert feel about 3D printing? A. Appreciative. B. Pessimistic. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 10. Why are the local Texas materials used? A. To cut down transportation costs. B. To integrate into the surroundings. C. To improve the safety of the hotel. D. To protect the natural environment. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the Vulcan 3D printer. B. To describe the construction process of El Cosmico. C. To discuss the environmental benefits of 3D printing. D. To highlight the cooperation between ICON and El Cosmico. D Chickadees (山雀) are beloved backyard birds in North America. Black-capped Chickadees and Carolina Chickadees are especially tough to tell apart, with the same black cap and chin, white cheeks, and gray-buff bodies, along with the same love of seed-filled bird feeders and similar cheeky “chick-a-dee-dee!” calls. Usually the easiest way to tell which of these two chickadees you’re looking at is to consult a map. Carolina Chickadees live in the eastern and southeastern U. S., whereas Black-capped Chickadees inhabit most of the rest of North America. Yet along the extensive, meandering line where the two species overlap, things can get unclear. They started to share a “hybrid zone” where they regularly interbreed (异种交配) and produce young, blurring (模糊) the lines between species. In 2007 Robert Curry, an ornithologist and behavioral ecologist published a paper showing that the hybrid zone had been creeping northward over more than a decade. By that time Curry had accumulated years’ worth of chickadee blood samples from his field sites, and he had access to tissue samples collected previously by other researchers as well. He and his collaborators used genetic analysis to verify the composition of the chickadee population at each site and looked at how that composition had shifted over time. The researchers’ findings provided confirmation of what bird-watchers had already observed: in a decade and a half the northern edge of the hybrid zone had moved about 20 kilometers north. But why? According to the data collected from eBird in the following years, the northern limit of Carolina Chickadees’ range is roughly the point on the map where the average minimum winter temperature hits minus seven degrees Celsius — and that the rate of their northward expansion in Pennsylvania has been consistent with warming winters. Climate change is really only half of the story behind the movement of the hybrid zone. Meanwhile, there was a strong link between the presence of hybrids and the degree to which habitat in an area had been altered by humans. “I think what we’ve done in these disturbed areas is we’ve planted trees that favor Black-capped Chickadees,” says, “which has increased their populations and then increased the frequency of hybridization between the two species in an artificial way.” “So what will happen? We don’t know yet,” Curry says. “But it will be interesting to see.” 12. What is the easiest way to tell Black-capped Chickadees from Carolina Chickadees? A. Recording their calls. B. Observing their shapes. C. Comparing their looks. D. Studying their habitats. 13. What can we learn about the study in paragraph 3? A. Researchers focused on Chickadees’ behaviour. B. The hybrid zone had a tendency to migrate north. C. Curry gathered all the samples from his field sites. D. The findings differed from those of bird- watchers. 14. What led to hybrid zone expanding north? A. The availability of bird feeders. B. The increased human population. C. The influence of global warming. D. The introduction of new bird species. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Chickadees and Climate Change: A Tale of Adaptation B. The Silent Extinction: Chickadees Losing Their Identity C. Chickadees: Showing How Species Boundaries Can Shift and Blur D. Peaceful Coexistence: Chickadees Thriving Together Across Species Lines 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。 Active reading: How to become a better reader Every day, we are flooded by vast amounts of information.

He was troubled by the fact that he had to bear all the expenses of the house and responsibility of the whole family and that relatives kept visiting his place. Thinking about all these things, he used to scold (训斥) his children and quarrel with his wife on one or other issue. Gradually, the atmosphere at home was very tense. One day when he was angry with himself for the mistake he made at work, his son Dan came to him and said, “Father, please help me with my homework.” Chris scolded his son and asked him to walk away. But later when he calmed down, he went to his son’s room and saw that his son was asleep, holding a copy of his homework in his hands. Chris took the copy and looked at it quickly. He was about to put it back when he read the title of the homework. It was — Things That We Don’t Like at First but Later Realize That They Are Good. The child had to write a paragraph on this title. Out of curiosity, Chris started reading what his kid had written: I am thankful for my final exams because they upset me in the beginning but after that there are school holidays. I am thankful for medicines that taste bad because they taste bitter at first but they cure my illness. I am also very thankful that I have such a good father because his scolding makes me feel very bad at first but to some extent helps me make some progress in my learning. After reading his son’s homework Chris was lost in thought. The words written by his child were revolving (回响) in his mind again and again. The man realized something. He sat down for a while and started thinking about his troubles. He had to bear all the expenses of the house, which meant he had a house. He had to bear responsibility of the whole family, which meant he had a wife and children. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed and found himself a lucky man in the world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, he invited his relatives to come to his home to have a dinner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1～5 ACCBB 6～10 ABBAC 11～15 CABAB 16～20 ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
