(长郡中学2025届高三月考试卷)There comes a time when the old must give way to the
new,and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future.
Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can
be a big challenge.
Big challenges,however,can sometimes lead to great solutions.In the 1950s,the Egyptian
government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods,produce
electricity,and supply water to more farmers in the area.But the proposal led to protests.
Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that
were an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage.After listening to different voices,the
government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss
of cultural relics.The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds
within the international community.Experts investigated the issue,conducted several tests,and
then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved.Finally,a document was signed,and
the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world.
Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece,and then moved and put back
together again in a place where they were safe from the water.In 1961,German engineers
moved the first temple.Over the next 20 years,thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22
temples and countless cultural relics.Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
When the project ended in 1980,it was considered a great success.Not only had the countries
found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past,but they had also learnt
that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today.If a problem seems too difficult for
a single nation,the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
24.What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?
A.The damage to local farms.
B.The high cost of the construction.
C.The disapproval of local communities.D.The potential harm to cultural remains.
25.How were the cultural sites rescued?
A.By rebuilding similar cultural sites.
B.By building fences around them.
C.By tearing them down into pieces.D.By removing and piecing them together again
26.Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?
A.International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.
B.It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.
C.The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.
D.Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.
27.What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?
A.Trial and error.
B.Adequate investment.
C.Careful investigation.
D.Global cooperation.

(广东省2025届高三第一次六校联考试题)You've most likely heard the news by now:A
car-commuting,desk-bound,TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health.All the time
that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that
experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the "sitting disease".
Sitting for too long slows down the body's metabolism(新陈代谢)and the way enzymes
break down our fat reserves,raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure.Small amounts
of regular activity,even just standing and moving around,throughout the day is enough to bring
the increased levels back down.And those small amounts of activity add up -30 minutes of
light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of
exercise.But without that activity,blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up,
steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (and increasing the risk of diabetes,heart
disease,stroke,and other serious diseases.In essence,fundamental changes in biology occur if
you sit for too long.
But wait,you're a runner.You needn't worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle
because you exercise regularly,right?Well,not so fast.Recent studies show that people spend
an average of 64 hours a week sitting,whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as
recommended by World Health Organization(WHO).Regular exercisers,furthermore,are
found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise.Overall,most people
simply aren't exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result
from sitting nine hours or more a day.
Scared straight out of your chair?Good.The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking
activity breaks.
28.Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?
A.Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week.
B.Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.
C.Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day.
D.Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.
29.What does the word "sedentary"in the third paragraph most likely mean?
A.Inactive.
B.Risky.
C.Overloaded.
D.Unbalanced.
30.Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?
A.They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO.
B.They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out.
C.They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long.
D.They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The challenges of the modern lifestyle.
B.The effect of regular activity on our body.
C.The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.
D.The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.
D
(洛阳一高2024一2025学年高三第一次综合检测)Superhuman artificial intelligence is
already among us.Well,sort of.When it comes to playing games like chess and Go,or solving
difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures,computers are well ahead of us.
But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering:mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals,desires and beliefs of others,a vital
skill that means we can predict other people's actions and the consequences of our own.Reading
minds comes so easily to us,though,that we often don't think to spell out what we want.If
Als are to become truly useful in everyday life,we have to give them this gift that evolution has
given us to read other people's minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer others'mental state as theory of mind.In
humans,this ability starts to develop at a very young age.How to reproduce the competence in
machines is far from clear,though.One of the main challenges is context.For instance,if
someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply "it's raining",they can quickly
conclude that the answer is no.But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about
running,weather and human preferences.Moreover,whether humans or Al,the theory of
mind is supposed to appear naturally from one's own learning process.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind.While letting
AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful
Al,plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust
and communicate with Al.
It is important to remember,though,that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is
about more than just building more useful robots.It is also a stepping stone on the path towards
a deeper goal for AI and robotics research:building truly self-aware machines.Whether we will
ever get there remains to be seen,but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
32.Why does the author mention“games'”and“protein structures”in the first paragraph?
A.To stress how important the science is.B.To promote the use of AI in daily life.
C.To present AI's theory of mind.D.To contrast with AI's lack of mind reading.
33.According to the passage,which of the following contexts can AI understand well?
A.When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder.
B.When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it.
C.When a teacher asks for a boy's homework and he answers "my dog ate it".
D.When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply "a sore throat".
34.What may the author agree with?
A.We should reject human-like forms of abilities for Al.
B.Humans'theory of mind is far from perfect.
C.Mind reading requires huge amounts of context.
D.The theory of mind is independent of one's learning process.
35.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
B.AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future
C.AI's Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D.Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI

(2024年新高考联考协作体高三2月收心考试)If you're starting construction on the home
of your dreams,consider the benefits of building with sustainability and energy efficiency in
mind.Here are a few tips to follow.
Hire the right construction professionals.
Even if you consider yourself handy or a DIY pro,new construction isn't a project to go at
alone.Do your research on local professionals like architects,contractors and others who are
experienced in sustainable construction.36.You can also read reviews online to gather
options before requesting bids or signing contracts.
Start with a sustainable foundation.
37.A longer lasting home can begin with strong building materials like insulated
concrete forms,such as those from Nudura,which provide superior energy efficiency,sound-
3
proofing and lower utility costs versus traditional wood-frame construction.
38
While installing energy-efficient appliances and high-quality windows and doors are obvious
examples of eco-friendly materials,there are other solutions to help you go green in your new
home.Consider options like countertops made from recycled glass or reclaimed bricks for
fireplaces and accent pieces.
Power your home with renewable energy.
If it's within your budget,you can take your new home to the next level by powering it
with renewable energy like solar or wind.Typically installed on the roof,solar panels stop the
sun's rays and convert that energy to power your home.39
Prepare for the unexpected.
Project delays,fluctuating costs and more can turn building a new house into an
unpredictable process.40 Be prepared for the unexpected so you aren't caught off guard.In
fact,unanticipated circumstances can sometimes be a good thing,like building materials
dropping in price,a new product hitting the market or those flashy eco-friendly appliances going
on sale.
A.Select eco-friendly materials.
B.Create a reasonable and flexible budget.
C.Contact trusted friends,family and neighbors for references.
D.Constructing a sustainable home starts with the foundation.
E.You may save money in the long-run on electricity bills.
F.Don't let potential surprises stop you seeking your dream space or forever home.
G.They even provide architects greater design flexibility to build your dream home.

(上海交通大学附属中学2024-2025学年第一学期高三英语阶段测试)Research has shown
that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political
problems of the day,not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just
finished reading,but plain and simple 41.
Language is our greatest treasure as a species,and what do we 42 do with it?We
gossip.About others'behaviour and private lives,such as who's doing what with whom,who's
in and who's out-and why;how to deal with difficult 43 situations involving children,
lovers,and colleagues.
So why are we keen on gossiping?Are we just natural 44,of both time and words?Or
do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important
issues of life?It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar.In fact,in his latest book,
Grooming,Gossip and the Evolution of Language,the psychologist says gossip is one of these
really 45 issues.
Dunbar 46 the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early
stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively,
or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural.
Instead he suggests that language evolved among women.We don't spend two-thirds of our
time gossiping just because we can talk,argues Dunbar-47,he goes on to say,language
evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.
Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the48 of the higher primates(灵长类s动
)like monkeys.By means of grooming-cleaning the fur by brushing it,monkeys form groups
with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict
within the group or 49 from outside it.
As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family,Dunbar 50
that at one time in our history we did much the same.Grouping together made sense because the
bigger the group,the greater the 51 it provided;on the other hand,the bigger the group,
the greater the stresses of living close to others.Grooming helped to 52 the pressure and
calm everybody down.
But as the groups got bigger and bigger,the amount of time spent in grooming activities
also had to be 53 to maintain its effectiveness.Clearly,a more 54 kind of grooming
was needed,and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal (grooming which allowed
humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider
network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one 55 contact.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(扬州大学附属中学2024届下学期四月月考)With no air conditioners and no trees
providing shade,the classrooms that faced south at my children's middle school got too hot
during the warmer months of the school year.I knew from my days volunteering in the school
that students and staff got overheated and that it was difficult for them to concentrate.
As a long-time master gardener,I knew trees could shade those classroom windows and
reduce the temperatures inside to relatively comfortable levels.If benches and trees were added,
the front yard would be transformed into a beautiful outdoor classroom,one that would
encourage teachers to bring their students outside to learn.And I imagined how wonderful it
would be for our district's kids,many of whom live in apartment buildings without yards or
green space,to experience the happiness of sitting on a bench under a leafy green tree during
their school day.
Then,I met with the school's Parent-Teacher Association and told my idea of changing the
school's front yard.And I expressed my willingness to organize the project.The group liked the
idea but thought it was too difficult.However,several days later,the principal told me,"I had
further discussions with my staff.We all think you are very kind.We want to work with you to
transform our school's front yard.
Later,I found a professional landscape designer who promised to design our front yard free
of charge.After that,I found a local company that promised to deliver topsoil (at a
deeply discounted price when we were ready to transform our front yard.Then I contacted a
charity,which promised to provide us with various shade trees for free that would grow well in
our area.And it would send a professional crew to help us plant the trees.
Then,we named our future front yard "The Habitat for Living &Learning".At this
point,we spoke with everyone we knew about the Habitat for Living &Learning.The hard
work of spreading topsoil,digging and planting was scheduled to begin within weeks.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
So we posted the tasks in the school's front hall where everyone could see them.
Soon,everyone-students,staff and volunteers-began working to spread the topsoil.W:Well,I was sick for two weeks.So I didn't take the midterm exam.Could you give me
another test?
M:Alright.You can take it next Thursday afternoon.
W:Thank you so much,Professor Brooks.Could I come to you at 3:30 after my English
Literature class?
M:No problem.
(Text 8)
M:Linda,you work on plays and shows but you are not on stage.What do you do?
W:I'm a costume designer.I have the actors become their characters.
M:Is it a kind of,like,playing dresser?
W:A little bit.But I need to study the play to create the characters'clothes,not just use my
imagination.
M:How do you do that?
W:I read the play and do research about the time and place of the story.If the story is set in the
past,I might study old magazines or paintings.For plays set in now,I sometimes collect
pictures of people on the street.
M:Then what do you do?
W:I take my ideas and pictures to the director of the show.We talk about whether I'm on the
right track.If it's good,we will hire a tailor to make the costume.
M:Is it finished then?
W:Almost.We still need to try on the actor to make sure everything fits and looks good.
M:Wow,it takes so many steps to make a costume.
W:Yes,it does.I work with lots of different people to put it all together.
(Text 9)
W:Hi Kevin.I've just got back from the Art Gallery.There's a wonderful show of abstract
art.You should have come with me.
M:I don't know.Abstract art seems like children's painting to me.
W:Well,if you don't understand what the artist is trying to communicate,it can seem a little
like that.
M:What did you see then?
W:There were two paintings that impressed me most.The first is a huge one which I supposed
the tree although it could have been anything.
M:What did you like about it?
W:Just the way the tree looked.It was like the tree was made of hard metal,and the mix of
white and gray made everything look like it was winter,freezing winter.
M:That's something.What about the other one?
W:The second looked like a piece of grassland.All the grass was purple and red,and there was
green sky in the background.I looked at it and thought of summer.
M:Hmm,your description really teaches me something about appreciating abstract art.Maybe
I should go and give this show a try this Saturday.
W:You really should.
(Text 10)
M:You are watching the morning news.This is Steven Johnson.Sydney and the New South
Wales coast have been hit by heavy rains.Major roads,the airport,trains and buses were
all thrown behind the schedule as more than a month's worth of rain fell in just one hour
during the morning rush.All traffic into city remains very heavy.Pittwater Road is closed
due to a car crash.Consider using Wicks Road instead.A police officer has been hurt
assisting drivers in North Ryde.A woman is believed to have broken her leg after a tree fell
on her car.The roof of Town Hall Station has fallen in,causing delays for passengers.The
rain is expected to be at its heaviest from 9:00 a.m.until 11:00 a.m.Today a total of up to
200 millimeters rain is being forecast,along with damaging winds of more than 90
kilometers per hours to fall.All road users are advised to reconsider the need to be on roads
in such wild weather,and reschedule their day and continue on their journey after the rain
stops.

amazing characters in Mozart's The Magic Flute.(开始一段激动人心的旅程,并在莫扎特的
《魔笛》中遇到许多令人惊叹的角色。)”可知,The Magic Flute是莫扎特的作品,因此会吸引
对莫扎特音乐感兴趣的人。故选C。
B
24.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Water from the dam would likely damage a number of
temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage.
(大坝的水可能会损坏一些寺庙,并摧毁作为埃及文化遗产重要组成部分的文物。)”可知,新
大坝建设对文化遗迹的潜在危害是人们对于新大坝建设的主要担忧。故选C。
25.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece
by piece,and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from
the water.(寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块地拆除,然后被迁移并重新组装在一个安全的
地方。)”可知,通过拆除和重新拼凑,这些文化遗址得到了拯救。故选D。
26.B推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Finding and keeping the right balance between progress
and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge..(在文化遗址的保护和进步之间找
到并保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。)”,第二段中的“Big challenges,however,can
sometimes lead to great solutions.(然而,巨大的挑战有时会带来成功的解决方案。)”和倒数
第二段中的“Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the
relics of the past,but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together
8
to build a better tomorrow.(这些国家不仅找到了一条不会越过过去的遗迹而通往未来的道
路,还认识到,各国有可能共同努力建设一个更美好的明天。)”可推知,在不牺牲文化遗产
的情况下实现进步是可能的。故选B.

大坝项目成功的关键。故选D
C
28.D细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sitting for too long slows down the body's metabolism(新
and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves,raising both blood sugar levels
and blood pressure.Small amounts of regular activity,even just standing and moving
around,throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down..(久坐会减缓
身体的新陈代谢和酶分解脂肪储备的方式,提高血糖水平和血压。少量的有规律的活动,即
使只是站着走动,也足以将升高的水平降下来)”可知,降低高血糖和高血压的最好方法是尽
可能多地用轻松的活动来打断坐着的时间。故选D项。
29.A词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But wait,you're a runner..You needn't worry about the
harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly,right?(但是等等,你是一个跑步
者。你就不必担心久坐生活方式的危害,因为你经常锻炼,对吗?)”可知,久坐方式与规律锻
炼是两种不同的生活方式,结合本文主题和选项可知,划线词sedentary的意思是“不活跃
的”,与inactive同义。故选A项。
30.B细节理解题。根据第三段中“Regular exercisers,furthermore,are found to be about30
percent less active on days when they exercise.(此外,研究发现,经常锻炼的人在锻炼时的活
跃程度要低30%左右)”可知,认真锻炼的人在锻炼的日子里往往站立或活动得更少。故选B
项。
3l.D主旨大意题。根据第一段“You’ve most likely heard the news by now:Acar
commuting,desk-bound,TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health.All the time
that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that
experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the‘sitting disease'.(你很可能已经听
说过这样的新闻:开车上下班、坐在办公桌前、看电视的生活方式对我们的健康有害。我们长
时间坐在椅子上,与许多致命疾病的患病风险增加有关,以至于专家将这种现代健康流行病
2
称为‘久坐病’)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了久坐对我们健康的威胁。故选D项。
D
32.D推理判断题。根据第一段中“Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us.
Well,sort of.When it comes to playing games like chess and Go,or solving difficult
scientific challenges like predicting protein structures,computers are well ahead of us.But
we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering:mind reading.(超人的人工智能已经
在我们身边了。嗯,算是吧。在下棋和围棋等游戏或解决预测蛋白质结构等困难的科学挑战
方面,计算机远远领先于我们。但我们有一个超能力,他们还远没有掌握:读心术)”可知,作
者在第一段中提到人工智能擅长游戏和预测蛋白质结构,也提到它还没有掌握的读心术,将
两者进行对比。由此推知,作者在第一段中提到“游戏”和“蛋白质结构”是为了与“人工智能
缺乏读心术”进行比较。故选D。
33,B推理判断题。根据第一段“But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering:
mind reading.(但我们有一个他们还没有掌握的超能力:读心术)”和第二段“Humans have a
mysterious ability to reason the goals,desires and beliefs of others,a crucial skill that means
we can anticipate other people's actions and the consequences of our own.(人类有一种神秘
的能力来推理他人的目标、欲望和信仰,这是一项至关重要的技能,意味着我们可以预测他人
的行为和自己的后果)”和第三段的“For instance,if someone asks whether you are going for
a run and you reply‘it's raining',they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.(例如,如
果有人问你是否要跑步,而你回答‘正在下雨’,他们很快就会得出结论,答案是否定的)”可
知,读心需要经过一定的推理和预测能力,需要理论思维能力,而计算机不具备人类所拥有的
读心的能力。对A项“When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry
louder..(当孩子们在伤害自己后看到他们的妈妈时,他们哭得更大声)”,C项“When a
teacher asks for a boy's homework and he answers‘my dog ate it'.(当老师问一个男孩的家
庭作业时,他回答说‘我的狗吃了')”和D项“When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner
and you reply‘a sore throat'.(你被要求晚餐吃辣的食物时,你回答说‘喉咙痛')”的理解都
需要运用到思维理论去解释人们的目标和欲望,这是人工智能无法理解的。只有B项“When
a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it..(当妈妈告诉她的孩子一
些食物对健康有益时,孩子就会吃)”是直接的陈述,不需要运用思维理论,人工智能能很好的
理解其意思。故选B。
34.C推理判断题。根据第三段中“In humans,this ability starts to develop at a very young
age.How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear,though.One of the
main challenges is context.For instance,if someone asks whether you are going for a run
and you reply 'it's raining',they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.But this
8
requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running,weather and human
preferences.(在人类中,这种能力在很小的时候就开始发展。然而,如何在机器中复制这种
能力还远不清楚。其中一个主要的挑战是背景。例如,如果有人问你是否要去跑步,你回答
‘下雨了’,他们可以很快得出结论,给出否定答案。但这需要大量关于跑步、天气和人类偏好
的背景知识)”可知,理解别人的想法需要大量的背景信息。由此推知,作者会赞成“读心术需
要大量的背景信息”这一观点。故选C。
35.A主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段的“It is important to remember,though,that the
pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots.
It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for Al and robotics research:
building truly self-aware machines..(然而,重要的是要记住,追求具有心智理论的机器不仅仅
是为了制造更有用的机器人。这也是通往人工智能和机器人研究更深层目标的垫脚石:制造
真正具有自我意识的机器)”可知,文章讨论了人工智能在模拟人类“读心”能力方面的挑战和
前景,作者期待建造真正有自我意识的机器,即作者期待人工智能具备思维理论。故A项
“AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected(期待人工智能拥有自己的心智理论)”可以作
为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
第二节
36.C根据上文“Even if you consider yourself handy or a DIY pro,new construction isn'ta
project to go at alone.Do your research on local professionals like architects,contractors and
others who are experienced in sustainable construction.(即使你认为自己是手巧的或DIY专
家,新建筑也不是一个人可以完成的项目。找当地的专业人士调查一下,比如建筑师、承包商
和其他在可持续建筑方面有经验的人)”以及后文“You can also read reviews online to gather
options before requesting bids or signing contracts..(你也可以在网上阅读评论,在要求投标
或签署合同之前收集选择)”可知,本句与后文并列,都在说明可以从哪些渠道获得建造的建
议。故C选项“联系可信赖的朋友、家人和邻居以获得参考”最符合语境,故选C。
37.D根据小标题“Start with a sustainable foundation.(从可持续发展的地基开始)”可知,本句
建议建造一个持久的住宅,从地基开始。D选项中foundation对应标题foundation。故D选
项“建造一个可持续发展的家从地基开始”最符合语境,故选D。
38.A根据本段内容“While installing energy-efficient appliances and high一quality windows
and doors are obvious examples of eco-friendly materials,there are other solutions to help
you go green in your new home.Consider options like countertops made from recycled glass
or reclaimed bricks for fireplaces and accent pieces.(虽然安装节能电器和高质量的门窗是环
保材料的明显例子,但还有其他解决方案可以帮助你在新家实现绿色环保。可以考虑用回收
玻璃或回收砖做的台面作为壁炉和装饰物)”可知,本句为小标题,是段落中心,结合本段介绍
3
了家装环保的方法:安装节能电器和高品质的门窗,考虑用回收玻璃或回收砖制作的壁炉和
重点部件的台面等等。A选项“选择环保材料”符合语境,故选A。
39.E根据上文“Ifit's within your budget,you can take your new home to the next level by
powering it with renewable energy like solar or wind.Typically installed on the roof,solar
panels stop the sun's rays and convert that energy to power your home..(如果在你的预算范
围内,你可以用太阳能或风能等可再生能源为你的新家供电,让它更上一层楼。太阳能电池
板通常安装在屋顶上,它可以阻挡太阳光线,并将其转化为你家的能源)”可知,空前介绍了如
果是在预算之内,可以用太阳能或风能等可再生能源将新家带到一个新的水平(购买这些可
能需要较多的钱),本句总结这么做的好处。E选项“从长远来看,你可以节省电费”符合语
境,故选E。
40.F根据上文“Project delays,fluctuating costs and more can turn building a new house into
an unpredictable process.(项目延迟、成本波动等因素可能会让建造新房子变成一个不可预
测的过程)”可知,上文提到项目延误、成本波动和其他因素可能会把建造新房子变成一个不
可预测的过程,故本句承接上文如何看待这些潜在的意外。F中的potential surprises指的就
是Project delays,fluctuating costs and more。F选项“不要让潜在的惊喜阻止你寻找梦想的
空间或永远的家”符合语境,故选F。

So we posted the tasks in the school's front hall where everyone could see them.We spoke
about them at local meetings,school events and one-on-one in the community.People in our
community were so kind and we received donations and offers to help with the planting.One
sunny day,two weeks after my first conversation with the principal and his staff,huge trucks
filled with topsoil arrived at the school.Students and staff lined up before the classroom
windows,cheering and waving.And many adults,including parents,were chatting enthusiastically.
Soon,everyone -students,staff and volunteers -began working to spread the topsoil.
It took several days,and then the trees arrived.All worked in shifts alongside the crew for a full
day,digging holes,watering trees,etc.Although it was tiring,no one complained or quit.
Today,leafy green trees shade formerly hot classrooms.Classes are regularly held in the
Habitat for Living &Learning.Students read there during English,do nature-based
8
experiments during Science,and draw pictures during Art.They are so happy.My heart glows
every time I walk by this transformed school.

W:Thanks!I've been taking ballet classes.The exercises are very challenging.They have
helped me get into great shape.

Welcome to Fantastic Homes of the Rich and Famous!In this program we will explore the
beautiful homes of famous people from all around the world.Today,we are looking at the home
of the late Michael Jackson.Michael Jackson's home is called Neverland Ranch.It is a home
like no other.It has all the things that every star's home should have:a six-car garage,a huge
basketball court,and a golf course.What makes it special is that it is also home to twenty-seven
different types of animals,and there are tons of rides and games.Jackson believed that his home
should be a place for kids to have fun and relax.There are also many great places for adults,
including a huge ballroom,a space for music and art,and a large theater.Jackson's home was
mainly a place for him to escape from his fame and relax by himself and with friends.He wanted
to build his own private world to enjoy and he certainly managed to do that.After all,Michael
Jackson was the King of Pop,and he deserved to live in a nice place.
