Near the village of Hengkeng in China’s Zhejiang province, there’s an open-air theatre made of bamboo. However, no bamboo was actually cut to build the theater. Instead, living bamboo trees were bent and roped to achieve it.
Designed by Xu Tiantian, the theatre has been highlighted in an exhibition in New York. Titled “Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China”, the exhibition showcases a new generation of Chinese architects who are promoting social and environmental sustainability by transforming industrial buildings, recycling materials, and reinterpreting ancient building techniques. They are inspired by the use of traditional materials and a stronger connection between architecture and nature.
“We want to redirect the global conversation to ecological approaches of architecture,” says Martino, the founder of the exhibition. For Chinese architects, the word “sustainability” means following basic principles that revolve around harmony with nature or the continuation of the past. In the city of Guilin, Vector Architects transformed an abandoned sugar factory into a hotel complex. And in Beijing, Zhang Ke of ZAO Standard Architecture has proposed a series of independent living units integrated into one of the city’s Hutong courtyards.
Compared to earlier architects who often shied away from cultural associations with traditions, Chinese architects are now adopting traditional materials in innovative ways. “Contemporary construction techniques frequently lead to the unexpected dialogue between tradition and progress,” Xu says.
Over the past decade, China has begun to develop its own architectural identity. For Martino, the exhibition is an opportunity to highlight this shift and the environmental benefits associated with it. “In the West today, we tend to see architecture as part of the problem,” he says, in reference to “the large carbon footprint in the construction process.” “But these projects in China give us hope and the belief that architecture can be part of the solution.”
1. How was the bamboo theatre constructed?
A. By shaping living bamboos. B. By employing artificial substitutes.
C. By applying advanced technology. D. By adopting imported bamboo materials.
2. What does the New York exhibition primarily focus on?
A. Unadapted historical architecture preservation.
B. Innovative eco-cultural heritage combinations.
C. Commercial complexes targeting foreign investors.
D. Conventional buildings from major Chinese cities.
3. Why are the examples in Paragraph 3 mentioned?
A. To prove Chinese architects to be creative.
B. To compare architectural projects in different cities.
C. To emphasize the use of traditional materials in practice.
D. To illustrate Chinese architects’ sustainable project practices.
4. What can we infer from Martino’s words about Western architecture?
A. It gives rise to environmental issues. B. It reduces carbon footprint.
C. It upsets the ecological balance. D. It draws on Chinese designs.
B
The sun hangs heavy over central Iraq in the late afternoon, painting the ruins of Babylon in heat and light. Dust rises from the ground in soft clouds, creating a scene that seems older than time itself. In this moment the city feels both empty and timeless, its silence broken only by the visitors who have come to stand in the footprints of kings.
Once, Babylon was the jewel of Mesopotamia, the city that gave its name to entire eras — the Old, Middle, and New Babylonian periods. It was here where grand temples and palaces were built, and where poets and historians imagined one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Hanging Gardens. Ancient Greek and Roman writers described them as a green paradise(天堂), watered by artful pumps that lifted water from the Euphrates River. According to tales, Nebuchadnezzar, then King of Babylon, had them built for his queen who longed for the forested mountains of her homeland.
For some Iraqi archaeologists(考古学家), the gardens are more than fairy tales. Some believe the gardens were located near the city of Hillah, about a two-hour drive south of the capital Baghdad, while others point to Nineveh, hundreds of miles to the north. For travelers, however, the debate hardly matters. Standing among the ruins, it takes a good imagination to think of the gardens that left no marks to follow.
In recent times, conservation work has been carried out to restore parts of Babylon. With the many challenges the site faces, it is often individuals rather than institutions that keep Babylon’s stories alive. We met a 22-year-old tour guide Hashem, who was enthusiastic about introducing Iraqi history to foreigners. He graduated from the University of Babylon with a degree in biomedical engineering, and after that he turned to tourism, where his knowledge and command of English came in handy.
Beyond its broken walls, Babylon continues to cast its spell. Visitors come and express admiration, wondering how the Hanging Gardens once rose from the desert plain. The ruins may be gone some day, but the tales will live on.
5. Why does the writer describe the ruins of Babylon in paragraph 1?
A. To explain the reasons for its destruction.
B. To highlight its heavy boring atmosphere.
C. To create a contrast with its splendid past.
D. To express admiration for its great history.
6. What do archaeologists disagree about regarding the Hanging Gardens?
A. Its location. B. Its origin. C. Its designer. D. Its influence.
7. What does the author want to show by telling Hashem’s story?
A. The restoration work provides job opportunities.
B. Ordinary people contribute to preserving history.
C. Tourism is successful in areas with a rich culture.
D. The country is in need of energetic young people.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cast its spell” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Remain in ruins. B. Disappear over time.
C. Hold great charm. D. Make people puzzled.

单句语法填空
1. She sat there, ________(chew) her pencil nervously.
【答案】chewing
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:她坐在那里,紧张地咬着铅笔。句中已有动词sat,所以用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语She与chew之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填chewing。
2. Emma treasures the old necklace as it’s her most valuable ________(possess) from her grandmother.
【答案】possession
【详解】考查名词。句意:艾玛十分珍视这条旧项链,因为它是她从祖母那里继承下来的最珍贵的物品。valuable是形容词,修饰名词,possess的名词是possession,意为“物品”,由the old necklace可知,此处用单数,作表语。故填possession。
3. Deep in sorrow, the man wondered how ________(fetch) help, pacing up and down in the room nervously.
【答案】to fetch
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:这个男人沉浸在悲伤中,一边在房间里紧张地踱来踱去,一边思索着该如何寻求帮助。分析句子可知,how是疑问词,此处需用“疑问词 + 不定式”的结构作wondered的宾语;fetch的不定式形式是to fetch。故填to fetch。
4. It is surprising that there are still many people in the world ________(starve) to death each year; that is, many people die for lack of food.
【答案】starving
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:令人惊讶的是,世界上每年仍有许多人饿死;也就是说,很多人死于缺乏食物。从句中已有谓语are,此空应是非谓语形式。people与starve是主谓关系,此空应是现在分词starving,作后置定语。故填starving。
5. Cecilia let out a sigh, and sank ________ into a chair.
【答案】down
【详解】考查副词。句意:塞西莉亚叹了口气,重重地跌坐在椅子上。根据“into a chair”可推知,塞西莉亚是向下跌坐在椅子上,用副词down作状语,意为“朝下,向下”。故填down。
6. But what makes this Asian renaissance? The answer lies in a unique blend of visionary leadership, economic growth and a culture of discipline and ________(resolve).
【答案】resolution
【详解】考查名词。句意:但是,是什么让亚洲复兴呢?答案在于有远见的领导、经济增长以及纪律和决心的文化的独特结合。空处与discipline构成并列关系,需用名词形式,作of宾语。所给词resolve为动词,其名词形式为resolution,意为“坚定,决心”,为不可数名词,符合语境。故填resolution。
7. Please find some other place, no ________(park) is allowed here.
【答案】parking
【详解】考查动名词。句意:请找别的地方,这里不允许停车。分析句子可知,所给词“park”作动词时意为“停车”。句中“no”后接名词或动名词,结合语境“不允许停车”,此处需要用动名词形式“parking”,“no parking”是固定搭配,意为“禁止停车”。故填parking。
8. As the sun began to rise, casting a golden hue on the park’s traditional architecture, the volunteers gathered at the Zhuzi Cultural Park Square, their red and blue vests ________(contrast) vividly with the lush green mountains for the opening ceremony.
【答案】contrasting
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:当太阳开始升起,金色的光辉洒在公园的传统建筑上时,志愿者们聚集在朱子文化公园广场,他们红蓝相间的背心在开幕式上与郁郁葱葱的青山形成鲜明对比。 “their red and blue vests ___________ (contrast) vividly with the lush green mountains”是独立主格结构,contrast(与……形成对比)与其逻辑主语“their red and blue vests”之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式表主动。故填contrasting。
9. As we got there, the lake ________(dot) with sailboats.
【答案】was dotted
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:当我们到达那里时,湖面上点缀着帆船。空处为主句谓语动词,主语the lake与dot为被动关系,且这里时态应与前面保持一致用一般过去时,主语the lake为第三人称单数。故填was dotted。
10. The interviewee could feel his heart ________(beat) fast during the interview.
【答案】beating
【详解】考查现在分词。句意:这位面试者在面试过程中能感觉到自己的心脏在快速跳动。feel sb./sth. doing sth. 表示 “感觉到某人 / 某物正在做某事”,这里指受访者在面试期间能感觉到自己的心脏正在快速跳动,所以用 beat 的现在分词形式 beating作宾语补足语。故填beating。
句型转换
1. A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate.(用倒装句改写)
________ ________ ________ a machine now ________ you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate.
【答案】Not only can; beat
【详解】考查部分倒装。句意:一台机器现在不仅可以在国际象棋上打败你,还可以在辩论中胜过你。not only...but also...,意为“不但……而且……”,当把not only置于句首时,其后的句子要用部分倒装,其他部分不变。因此将not only放于句首,情态动词can放在主语a machine之前,,其他部分不变。故填①Not②only③can④beat。
2. Once we arrive in Shanghai, we will live in a hotel. We have reserved the hotel online in advance.( 合并为含有定语从句的句子。)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】Once we arrive in Shanghai, we will live in a hotel, which we have reserved in advance.
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意:一到上海,我们就住在宾馆里。我们已经提前在网上预订了酒店。由句意知We have reserved the hotel online in advance.是对前一句中的名词hotel进行了补充说明,所以可以将hotel当做先行词,用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作宾。故答案为Once we arrive in Shanghai, we will live in a hotel, which we have reserved in advance。
3. We will climb up the Oriental Pearl Tower in the afternoon, and we will enjoy the whole view of Shanghai there. ( “介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】We will climb up the Oriental Pearl Tower in the afternoon, from which we will enjoy the whole view of Shanghai.
【详解】考查介词+关系代词引导的定语从句。句意:我们将在下午爬上东方明珠塔,从那里我们可以欣赏整个上海的景色。由句意知and we will enjoy the whole view of Shanghai there.中的there指的是from the Oriental Pearl Tower,所以and之后的句子是对前一句内容进行了补充说明,所以可以将and之后的句子改为介词from+which引导的非限制性定语从句的形式,修饰先行词the Oriental Pearl Tower。故答案为We will climb up the Oriental Pearl Tower in the afternoon, from which we will enjoy the whole view of Shanghai。
4. The opposite team beat the players, but they were not discouraged. (同义句转换)
→________ ________ ________ ________ ________, the players were not discouraged.
【答案】Beaten by the opposite team
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:对方队击败了队员,但队员们并没有气馁。根据句意及所给句子可知,此处使用过去分词短语替代The opposite team beat the players,去掉连词but,使用beaten by the opposite team。故填①Beaten;②by;③the;④opposite;⑤team。
5. I didn’t learn the truth until I had read your letter. (用强调句型改写句子)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was not until I had read your letter that I learned the truth.
【详解】考查强调句。句意:直到我读了你的信,我才知道真相。根据句意和题目要求可知修改强调句,故使用以下结构it was +被强调部分+that+其他成分,如强调时间“直到读了你的信”,则强调部分为not until I had read your letter,则可改为It was not until I had read your letter that I learned the truth。故答案为It was not until I had read your letter that I learned the truth。

Near the village of Hengkeng in China’s Zhejiang province, there’s an open-air theatre made of bamboo. However, no bamboo was actually cut to build the theater. Instead, living bamboo trees were bent and roped to achieve it.
Designed by Xu Tiantian, the theatre has been highlighted in an exhibition in New York. Titled “Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China”, the exhibition showcases a new generation of Chinese architects who are promoting social and environmental sustainability by transforming industrial buildings, recycling materials, and reinterpreting ancient building techniques. They are inspired by the use of traditional materials and a stronger connection between architecture and nature.
“We want to redirect the global conversation to ecological approaches of architecture,” says Martino, the founder of the exhibition. For Chinese architects, the word “sustainability” means following basic principles that revolve around harmony with nature or the continuation of the past. In the city of Guilin, Vector Architects transformed an abandoned sugar factory into a hotel complex. And in Beijing, Zhang Ke of ZAO Standard Architecture has proposed a series of independent living units integrated into one of the city’s Hutong courtyards.
Compared to earlier architects who often shied away from cultural associations with traditions, Chinese architects are now adopting traditional materials in innovative ways. “Contemporary construction techniques frequently lead to the unexpected dialogue between tradition and progress,” Xu says.

1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Near the village of Hengkeng in China’s Zhejiang province, there’s an open-air theatre made of bamboo. However, no bamboo was actually cut to build the theater. Instead, living bamboo trees were bent and roped to achieve it.(在中国浙江省横坑村附近,有一座用竹子建造的露天剧院。然而,建造这座剧院时没有砍伐任何一根竹子,而是将活竹弯曲、捆绑成型)”可知,竹子剧院是通过塑造活着的竹子建造而成的。故选A。

The sun hangs heavy over central Iraq in the late afternoon, painting the ruins of Babylon in heat and light. Dust rises from the ground in soft clouds, creating a scene that seems older than time itself. In this moment the city feels both empty and timeless, its silence broken only by the visitors who have come to stand in the footprints of kings.
Once, Babylon was the jewel of Mesopotamia, the city that gave its name to entire eras — the Old, Middle, and New Babylonian periods. It was here where grand temples and palaces were built, and where poets and historians imagined one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Hanging Gardens. Ancient Greek and Roman writers described them as a green paradise(天堂), watered by artful pumps that lifted water from the Euphrates River. According to tales, Nebuchadnezzar, then King of Babylon, had them built for his queen who longed for the forested mountains of her homeland.
For some Iraqi archaeologists(考古学家), the gardens are more than fairy tales. Some believe the gardens were located near the city of Hillah, about a two-hour drive south of the capital Baghdad, while others point to Nineveh, hundreds of miles to the north. For travelers, however, the debate hardly matters. Standing among the ruins, it takes a good imagination to think of the gardens that left no marks to follow.
In recent times, conservation work has been carried out to restore parts of Babylon. With the many challenges the site faces, it is often individuals rather than institutions that keep Babylon’s stories alive. We met a 22-year-old tour guide Hashem, who was enthusiastic about introducing Iraqi history to foreigners. He graduated from the University of Babylon with a degree in biomedical engineering, and after that he turned to tourism, where his knowledge and command of English came in handy.
Beyond its broken walls, Babylon continues to cast its spell. Visitors come and express admiration, wondering how the Hanging Gardens once rose from the desert plain. The ruins may be gone some day, but the tales will live on.
5. Why does the writer describe the ruins of Babylon in paragraph 1?
A. To explain the reasons for its destruction.
B. To highlight its heavy boring atmosphere.
C. To create a contrast with its splendid past.
D. To express admiration for its great history.
6. What do archaeologists disagree about regarding the Hanging Gardens?
A. Its location. B. Its origin. C. Its designer. D. Its influence.
7. What does the author want to show by telling Hashem’s story?
A. The restoration work provides job opportunities.
B. Ordinary people contribute to preserving history.
C. Tourism is successful in areas with a rich culture.
D. The country is in need of energetic young people.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cast its spell” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Remain in ruins. B. Disappear over time.
C. Hold great charm. D. Make people puzzled.
【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B 8. C
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章描述了巴比伦古城如今的废墟景象,回顾了其辉煌历史(特别是空中花园),探讨了考古学家的争议,并通过一位年轻导游的故事,展现了个体在传承历史记忆中的重要作用,最后点明这座古城虽已倾颓,但魅力与传说永存。
5. 推理判断题。根据第一段“The sun hangs heavy over central Iraq in the late afternoon, painting the ruins of Babylon in heat and light. Dust rises from the ground in soft clouds, creating a scene that seems older than time itself. In this moment the city feels both empty and timeless (夕阳沉沉地挂在伊拉克中部上空,用炎热和光线描绘着巴比伦的废墟。尘土从地面以柔软的云团状升起,营造出一个似乎比时间本身更古老的场景。此刻这座城市感觉既空旷又永恒)”可知,作者详细描绘了巴比伦如今荒凉、空旷、古老的废墟景象。紧接着在第二段开头写道:“Once, Babylon was the jewel of Mesopotamia, the city that gave its name to entire eras — the Old, Middle, and New Babylonian periods. (曾经,巴比伦是美索不达米亚的瑰宝,这座城市的名字定义了整个时代——古巴比伦、中巴比伦和新巴比伦时期。)”描述了它过去的辉煌。因此,作者在第一段的描写旨在与它辉煌的过去形成鲜明对比。故选C项。
6. 细节理解题。根据第三段“For some Iraqi archaeologists (考古学家), the gardens are more than fairy tales. Some believe the gardens were located near the city of Hillah, about a two-hour drive south of the capital Baghdad, while others point to Nineveh, hundreds of miles to the north. (对于一些伊拉克考古学家来说,这些花园不仅仅是童话。一些人认为花园位于首都巴格达以南约两小时车程的希拉市附近,而另一些人则指向北边数百英里外的尼尼微。)”可知,考古学家对于空中花园的具体地理位置持有不同看法,存在争议。故选A项。
7. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“With the many challenges the site faces, it is often individuals rather than institutions that keep Babylon’s stories alive. (面对遗址面临的诸多挑战,通常是个人而非机构让巴比伦的故事保持鲜活。)”以及随后作者引用的完整例子:“We met a 22-year-old tour guide Hashem, who was enthusiastic about introducing Iraqi history to foreigners. He graduated from the University of Babylon with a degree in biomedical engineering, and after that he turned to tourism, where his knowledge and command of English came in handy. (我们遇到了一位22岁的导游哈什姆,他热衷于向外国人介绍伊拉克历史。他毕业于巴比伦大学,拥有生物医学工程学位,之后他转向旅游业,他的知识和英语能力在这里派上了用场。)”可知,作者讲述哈什姆的个人故事,是为了具体说明前文观点,即普通个体在保存和传承历史记忆方面发挥着关键作用。故选B项。
8. 词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句子“Beyond its broken walls, Babylon continues to cast its spell. Visitors come and express admiration, wondering how the Hanging Gardens once rose from the desert plain. (越过它破碎的城墙,巴比伦继续cast its spell。游客们纷至沓来,表达钦佩之情,惊叹空中花园是如何曾经从沙漠平原上拔地而起的。)”可知,“cast its spell”的直接结果是“游客们纷至沓来并表达钦佩”,因此该短语在语境中应表示巴比伦遗址依然具有强大的吸引力、迷惑力或魅力。故选C项。
