[对应学生用书P471] (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·河南郑州模拟)While climbing the Great Wall is a once­in­a­lifetime dream for many, Jim Spear has taken it a step further, spending the last 18 years as a villager residing beneath this ancient wonder. “Never did I dream I would have the chance to visit the Great Wall, let alone live under it，” said 68­year­old Spear, a self­taught architect from the United States. Spear's interest in China began during his college days.It deepened when he met Tang, a Chinese girl, in 1980, and they got married two years later.In 1986, he decided to drop out of his doctoral studies in Chinese politics at the University of California and moved to China “to get to the heart of things”．“I realized that if I became a scholar of China, based overseas, I wouldn't be able to experience what was happening in China，” Spear said. In 1995, the couple secured a long­term rent of a traditional village farmhouse in Mutianyu and decided to make it their full­time home ten years later.Shortly after possessing full­time village life, he rented an abandoned schoolhouse and transformed it into a restaurant and art glass factory for a sustainable tourism business.He also turned a former factory into a hotel and helped renovate (翻新) over 20 households into restaurants.Besides, he explored other ways to support those residents in rural areas.“I want to do something for them，” Spear said. Spear's designs reflect his natural talent for fusing (使融合) traditional and modern elements, adopting the Great Wall style.However, Spear emphasized his approach involves creating designs and views “that echo (映现) the Great Wall, not copy it”．In 2014, Spear received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government. Talking about the future, Spear sees abundant possibilities in China, driven by significant domestic demand and a growing emphasis on preserving historic structures.

For two centuries these amazing birds were missing from most of the UK，having been wiped out by human persecution by the early 20th century. In 2020，the parents of the landmark bird were translocated from the Outer Hebrides and north­west Sutherland in Scotland to the Isle of Wight.This is an area with plentiful food to sustain them.It is also a location from which the birds could spread out to cliffs，lakes and forests. Female G405 and male G471 were two of 25 eagles (16 are still alive) released by the RDWF and Forestry England as part of the ongoing project.And they are one of three pairs to have now established breeding territories in the south of England. The chick hatched earlier this summer at a nest on private land，the exact location of which is being kept a secret to ensure the welfare of the young bird. “This is a very special moment for everyone who has worked on，supported and followed this ground­breaking project，” Roy Dennis says，founder of the RDWF.“Restoring a breeding population in southern England，where the species was once widespread，has been our ultimate goal.Seeing the first pair reach this stage is truly incredible.” The young white­tailed eagle has now been ringed and fitted with a satellite tag (标签) so that its progress can be tracked.A further release of young white­tailed eagles is planned for late summer from the project team's base on the Isle of Wight.
