B Earl Forlales,a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering,took inspiration-from the bamhoo hut his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in four hour to solve the chronic shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines.His designo50,000 top prizefrom the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)in its Cities for Our Future mpetition. His house,known as Cubo,could be produced in a week,constructed in four hours and costs f 60 per square metre.Its use of bamboo-which releases 35%more oxygen into the environment than trees-:was-praised by the judges.The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of the key attractions "The world's cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe,clean and comfortable places to live in,"John Hughes,the competition's head judge and then president at RICS,said.". 第3页共8页 look at our competitors,who are our next generation of leaders,I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world's biggest issues." Forlales has already identified a suitable are,of land te start building his Cubo houses.He plans to begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressurc on housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts.He said,"I would like to thank RICS for the opportunity,and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world." 24.What is the main factor in Forlales'winning,the prize? A.The design of his house. B.The shape of his house. C.The material of his house. D.The exponse of his house. 25.Which word can best replace the underlined word"tackling"in Paragraph 3? A.Facing. B.Handling. C.Covering. D.Treating. 26.What can we infer about the Cubo house? A.It has already been built in Forlales'hometown. B.It can be put together in a week. C.It is created by Forlales and his patents. D.It is environmentally friendly:and economical. 27.Which of the following can be a suitable title? A The bamboo house winning a top prize B.The way to solve housing shortage C.A competition in house building D.A man devoted to city development In the Beijing Winter Olympics,we were treated to incredible displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice.As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics,ski jumping is:one of the best examples to showcase the“superhuman'”power of athletes.. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky.How do they achieve this?Physics can offer us an explanation of how they make it.I上involves the use.of the laws of aerodynamics(空气动力学)-to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping wdcks,we need to consider three.elements:gravity,lift and drag.Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object.Lift occurs when an object is moving through the au-as its surface comes into contact with air particles ()the particles are pushed down and away from the object,allowing it to move up.At the same time,this interaction creates drag,and slows down an object's movemcat. While there is nothing that the skleis can do about gravity,they can twist their bodies into positions to allow them to achieve gxeater lift and avoid as much drag as possible.Accordinig to the Smlthronfan Magazine,"To do this,athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly parallel (to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that produces lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize lift." Because of how the sport works,athletes'equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages.This means suis must be tight in order to ensure athletes canuot use them as a way to gain more lift.For athletes,minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams.It can mean ttat suits will not be tight enoug中according to their body mass indexes.(体重指数)， 28.What does the underlined word"It"refer to in the second paragraph? A.Athletic talent. B.Superhuman power. C.Physical science. D.Ski jumping. 29.What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A.The interaction between foree and drag. B.The interaction between skiers and air particles. 第4页共8页 C.The interaction between air particles and gravity.D.The interaction between gravity and balance. 30.What rulc is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A.Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes. B.Athletes must strictly control their weight. C.Equipment must match an athlcte's weigbt and height. D.Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages. 31.What's the main focus of the text? A.The scientific principles behind ski jumping. B.Rules of the ski jumping competition. C.Excellent performances in ski jumping. D.The techniques used by ski jumpers. D It is easy for us to know the differencc betwcen our friends and our cnemics.But can other animals do the same?Elephants cah!They can use their senses of vision and smell to tellthe difference between.people who pose a threat and those who do not. In Kenya,researchers find that elephants react differently to clothing wom by men of the Maasai and Kamba cthnic groups.Young Maasai men.spear (animals and thus pose a threat to elephants;Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants. In an experiment conducted by animal scientists,elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been wom for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man.When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man,they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed the smells of eithef clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been womn at all. Clothing color also plays a role.In the same study,when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before,they reacted angrily,as red is typically worn by Maasat men.Rather than running away as they did with the smell,the elcphants acted aggressively toward the red clothing. The researchers believe that the elephants'emotional reactions are due to their different senses of smell and sight.Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and'he. Secing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low.Therefore,instead of showing fear and ninning away,the elephants express their anger and become aggressive. 32.What character does the author want to express about elephants A.Clever. B.Friendly. C.Dangerous. D.Naughty. 33.Which of the following is the most dangerous sign for elephants? A.The color of Kamba men's clothes. B.The smell of Kamba men's clothes. C.The smell of Maasai men's clothes. D.The red clothes not wom before. 34.What can be inferred about the elephants behavior from this passage? AElephants are more intelligent than other animals. B.Elephants learn from their experience. C.Elephants-have sharper zense of smell than sight. D.Elephants tend to attack rather than escape when in danger. 35.In-which magazine will the passage be found most probably? A.Newsweek. B.Nature. C Fashion. D.Business Weekly. 第二节（共5小题，每小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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 第5页共8页 A support network.is critical to your well-being and high school success.It's like having a safety net.
