Building Bridges of Trust
Date and time
Sunday, October 19
Location
Online
About this event
This 3.5-hour interactive webinar (网络研讨会) will focus on ways we can share intercultural spaces with one another. So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with.
Educational objectives
RECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various
spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit.
ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We will be using comedic tools to keep this light.)
IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our clients.
PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with each other and with our clients.

New England Treehouses: Fall’s Nature retreat
New England’s fall treehouses mix natural beauty with comfort, offering front-row seats to red, yellow, and orange foliage — a delight even beyond sipping hot apple cider on an inn porch. Airbnb lists 270,000 global treehouses, but North America leads: 2022-2024 bookings rose 65%. James Roth, a 25-year treehouse designer, notes 80% of clients build for rentals: “Escaping phone addiction — finding disconnection from screens — attracts people most.” Its hardwoods provide solid bases and vibrant autumn hues, making it a top spot.
Winvian, Litchfield, Connecticut
Winvian’s two-story treehouse perches 35 feet up, nested in beech and maple trees. The 113-acre estate borders a historic wildlife sanctuary. Inside, jetted tubs and gas fireplaces add luxury; guests bike to the main house for chef Chris Eddy’s foliage-themed meals or to the spa for massages.
Mink Cove, Wareham, Massachusetts
Tucked in an Atlantic inlet, Mink Cove began as a sketch by Butch Ripley and his 8-year-old daughter, then built from salvaged wood. Cozy with twinkle lights, it has a private outdoor shower and ocean scents — all surrounded by fall’s red and black oaks.
Twin Farm, Barnard, Vermont
Near Silver Lake and a historic store, Twin Farm’s treehouses follow “blend with nature” logic. Guests enter at ground level to reach 20-foot decks. Post-sunset, a gas fireplace warms; by day, people can hike to Doug’s Treehouse Folly for a picnic amid Vermont’s fall colors.
Tiffany Hill Treehouse, Sunapee, New Hampshire
A 5-minute drive from Mount Sunapee Park, this two-bedroom treehouse leans on a strong oak. It has radiant heat, a propane fireplace, a kitchen, and a porch pulley for groceries — ideal for families. Fall surrounds it with yellow and orange conifers, oaks, and birches.

Are You Controlled by Advertisements?
With advertisements all around us, from advertisements on the television to social media apps, the fear arises about how they can influence our behaviour. Often, the desire to buy something emerges only because it has affected our minds through advertisements and may not be a real need of ours. Here are three things we can do to resist the urge to make an unnecessary purchase.
Educate OurselvesFirstly, we have to be aware of commonly used emotional and psychological strategies. For example, some advertisements may feature friends having an enjoyable time at a cafeteria, making us think that going there is a good way to have fun with friends. It appeals to our need for happiness and fun.
Avoid Emotional BuysWhen we come across an advertisement for something attractive, we may feel forced to buy it immediately, especially if it is an online purchase that involves a quick click and a cashless deal. However, it's crucial to resist the urge to act without thinking carefully.
Question the MessageThe next step is to assess whether the advertisement's core message is reasonable. In the cafeteria example, we would need to question the message that eating at a particular cafeteria with friends is equal to happiness. What is it about the place that makes us happy? Is having fun with friends there the only way to gain happiness? We will then be forced to distinguish between facts and opinions.
It would be best to give ourselves some time to consider if we really need the item or experience and if it is wise to spend our money in this way. Let us remember that advertisers are well aware of the way our minds work, and they can easily make us purchase what we may later regret buying.

Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南·一模)
Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.
One Central Park (Sydney, Australia)
A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size.
Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China)
Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights.
Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany)
Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.
Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico)
Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in.
1.What do we know about One Central Park?
A.It makes full use of solar energy.
B.It uses a great cooling system.
C.It has many plants and flowers.
D.It has self-control windows.
2.What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common?
A.They are naturally ventilated.
B.They are both transparent.
C.They generate electricity by wind.
D.They harvest energy from sunshine.
3.Where can the text be found?
A.In science fiction. B.In an architectural magazine.
C.In an autobiography. D.In a weather report.
Passage 2
(2026·高三·湖南衡阳市·一模)
Clean Energy: The Future Is Here
Nearly a century ago, Thomas Edison envisioned using the sun’s boundless energy. Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources:
CLEAN ENERGY
SOLAR
Solar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption.
WIND
Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels.
BIOMASSBiomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms— everything from forest residue to algae and switchgrass.
GEOTHERMALGeothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down.
WATERPOWERFalling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy.
Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details:
Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030/ TWh
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress—the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future.
1.Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost?
A.Solar. B.Waterpower. C.Wind. D.Geothermal.
2.How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030?
A.3,100 TWh. B.3,646 TWh. C.4,000 TWh. D.4,900 TWh.
3.Why does the author quote Edison?
A.To warn of the energy shortage.
B.To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time.
C.To honor his great contributions.
D.To appreciate the evolution of energy.

Passage 2
(2026·高三·湖南郴州市·一模)
New England Treehouses: Fall’s Nature retreat
New England’s fall treehouses mix natural beauty with comfort, offering front-row seats to red, yellow, and orange foliage — a delight even beyond sipping hot apple cider on an inn porch. Airbnb lists 270,000 global treehouses, but North America leads: 2022-2024 bookings rose 65%. James Roth, a 25-year treehouse designer, notes 80% of clients build for rentals: “Escaping phone addiction — finding disconnection from screens — attracts people most.” Its hardwoods provide solid bases and vibrant autumn hues, making it a top spot.
Winvian, Litchfield, Connecticut
Winvian’s two-story treehouse perches 35 feet up, nested in beech and maple trees. The 113-acre estate borders a historic wildlife sanctuary. Inside, jetted tubs and gas fireplaces add luxury; guests bike to the main house for chef Chris Eddy’s foliage-themed meals or to the spa for massages.
Mink Cove, Wareham, Massachusetts
Tucked in an Atlantic inlet, Mink Cove began as a sketch by Butch Ripley and his 8-year-old daughter, then built from salvaged wood. Cozy with twinkle lights, it has a private outdoor shower and ocean scents — all surrounded by fall’s red and black oaks.
Twin Farm, Barnard, Vermont
Near Silver Lake and a historic store, Twin Farm’s treehouses follow “blend with nature” logic. Guests enter at ground level to reach 20-foot decks. Post-sunset, a gas fireplace warms; by day, people can hike to Doug’s Treehouse Folly for a picnic amid Vermont’s fall colors.
Tiffany Hill Treehouse, Sunapee, New Hampshire
A 5-minute drive from Mount Sunapee Park, this two-bedroom treehouse leans on a strong oak. It has radiant heat, a propane fireplace, a kitchen, and a porch pulley for groceries — ideal for families. Fall surrounds it with yellow and orange conifers, oaks, and birches.
Each treehouse turns New England’s fall into an unforgettable stay, merging autumn’s magic with just enough comfort.
1.What mainly draws people to New England’s treehouses according to James Roth?
A.Watching fall foliage. B.Sipping hot cider.
C.Enjoying comfortable facilities. D.Staying away from screens.
2.What do Winvian and Twin Farms have in common?
A.They both offer experience of cycling.
B.They both provide access to spa services.
C.They both have gas fireplaces for warmth.
D.They both feature private outdoor showers.
3.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.An outdoor lifestyle blog. B.A travel magazine article.
C.An Airbnb rental promotion. D.A local business advertisement.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍新英格兰地区不同的树屋,及其特色与受欢迎原因。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“James Roth, a 25-year treehouse designer, notes 80% of clients build for rentals: “Escaping phone addiction — finding disconnection from screens — attracts people most.”(有着25年树屋设计经验的詹姆斯·罗斯指出,80%的客户建造树屋是为了出租:“摆脱手机成瘾——远离屏幕——最能吸引人。”)”可知,据James Roth所说,主要是远离屏幕吸引了人们来到新英格兰的树屋。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据Winvian, Litchfield, Connecticut部分中“Inside, jetted tubs and gas fireplaces add luxury; guests bike to the main house for chef Chris Eddy’s foliage-themed meals or to the spa for massages.(室内设有按摩浴缸和燃气壁炉,尽显奢华;客人可以骑自行车前往主屋,品尝主厨克里斯·埃迪以秋叶为主题的佳肴,或前往水疗中心享受按摩服务。)”以及Twin Farm, Barnard, Vermont部分中“Post-sunset, a gas fireplace warms; by day, people can hike to Doug’s Treehouse Folly for a picnic amid Vermont’s fall colors.(日落后,燃气壁炉带来温暖;白天,人们可以徒步前往道格的树屋奇观,在佛蒙特州的秋色中野餐。)”可知,Winvian和Twin Farm的共同点是都有燃气壁炉来取暖。故选C。
3.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章标题“New England Treehouses: Fall’s Nature retreat(新英格兰树屋:秋季的自然度假胜地)”可知,文章主要介绍了新英格兰地区几家适合秋季入住的树屋民宿,包括其特色和周边环境等,由此可推知,文章可能出自一篇旅游杂志文章。故选B。

The Basque language is the only remaining old European language. It’s spoken today in Basque Country, by some 750,000 native speakers. Basque Country covers the border of Spain and France, centered around the Bay of Biscay. As a language, Basque shows no connections to its neighboring languages.

Arabic
Even though Arabic includes many sub-groups and variants, it is unified in a standardized form of Classical Arabic. It is a great example of how a language of a powerful conquering nation can establish itself over a wide area and survive for centuries in its original form. With its spread, it influenced many modern languages all across the world, leaving loanwords everywhere it went.
Aramaic
Part of the Northwest Semitic group of the Afro-Asiatic languages, Aramaic has about 3,100 years of written history, placing it at the top of our list. Royal Inscriptions in Aramaic date back to the 10th century BC, making it one of the oldest languages still in use.

3.细节理解题。根据Aramaic部分“Aramaic has about 3,100 years of written history, placing it at the top of our list.

Passage 2
(2026·高三·湖南株洲市·一模)
Are You Controlled by Advertisements?
With advertisements all around us, from advertisements on the television to social media apps, the fear arises about how they can influence our behaviour. Often, the desire to buy something emerges only because it has affected our minds through advertisements and may not be a real need of ours. Here are three things we can do to resist the urge to make an unnecessary purchase.
Educate OurselvesFirstly, we have to be aware of commonly used emotional and psychological strategies. For example, some advertisements may feature friends having an enjoyable time at a cafeteria, making us think that going there is a good way to have fun with friends. It appeals to our need for happiness and fun.
Avoid Emotional BuysWhen we come across an advertisement for something attractive, we may feel forced to buy it immediately, especially if it is an online purchase that involves a quick click and a cashless deal. However, it's crucial to resist the urge to act without thinking carefully.
Question the MessageThe next step is to assess whether the advertisement's core message is reasonable. In the cafeteria example, we would need to question the message that eating at a particular cafeteria with friends is equal to happiness. What is it about the place that makes us happy? Is having fun with friends there the only way to gain happiness? We will then be forced to distinguish between facts and opinions.
It would be best to give ourselves some time to consider if we really need the item or experience and if it is wise to spend our money in this way. Let us remember that advertisers are well aware of the way our minds work, and they can easily make us purchase what we may later regret buying. Always strive to see through the smokescreen by following these three steps.
1.What strategy is mainly adopted in advertisements?
A.Offering a lot of testers. B.Appealing to consumers’ feelings.
C.Providing product introductions. D.Focusing on the quality of products.
2.How can consumers assess the advertisement’s core message?
A.By interviewing other consumers. B.By distinguishing reasons and results.
C.By comparing different advertisements. D.By questioning it based on personal needs.
3.What does the author suggest to prevent emotional buys?
A.Purchasing more online. B.Using cashless payment.
C.Thinking longer before a deal. D.Enquiring about advertisers’ minds.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了广告无处不在的现状,以及它们如何通过影响我们的心理来催生不必要的购买欲,并提出了三种抵制这种冲动的方法:认清广告策略、质疑广告信息、避免情绪化购买。
1.细节理解题。根据表格中“Firstly, we have to be aware of commonly used emotional and psychological strategies. For example, some advertisements may feature a person having an enjoyable time at a cafeteria, suggesting us that going there is a good way to have fun with friends. It appeals to our need for happiness and fun. (首先,我们必须了解广告常用的情感和心理策略。例如,一些广告会展示一个人在自助餐厅愉快用餐的场景,暗示我们去那里是和朋友玩乐的好方式。这迎合了我们对快乐和乐趣的需求)”可知,广告的主要策略是迎合消费者的情感需求。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据表格中“The next step is to assess whether the advertisement’s core message is reasonable. In the cafeteria example, we would need to question the message that eating at a particular cafeteria with friends is equal to happiness... We will then be forced to distinguish between facts and opinions. (下一步是评估广告的核心信息是否合理。在自助餐厅的例子中,我们需要质疑‘和朋友在特定自助餐厅吃饭就等于幸福’这一说法……这会迫使我们区分事实与观点)”可知,消费者需要基于个人需求去质疑广告信息,以此来评估其合理性。故选 D。
3.细节理解题。根据表格中“When we come across an advertisement for something attractive, we may feel forced to buy it immediately... However, it’s crucial to resist the urge to act without thinking carefully.

Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南·一模)
Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.
One Central Park (Sydney, Australia)
A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size.
Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China)
Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights.
Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany)
Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.
Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico)
Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in.
1.What do we know about One Central Park?
A.It makes full use of solar energy.
B.It uses a great cooling system.
C.It has many plants and flowers.
D.It has self-control windows.
2.What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common?
A.They are naturally ventilated.
B.They are both transparent.
C.They generate electricity by wind.
D.They harvest energy from sunshine.
3.Where can the text be found?
A.In science fiction. B.In an architectural magazine.
C.In an autobiography. D.In a weather report.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park.(这座建筑的脚下实际上是一个公园,它向上延伸到建筑结构上,250种澳大利亚植物和花卉的植被覆盖了中央公园一号)”可知,One Central Park有许多植物和花卉。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs.(上海中心大厦有一个透明的第二层表皮包裹在建筑周围,形成一个被捕获的空气区域,作为自然通风,降低能源成本)”以及第四段“And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.(并且自然通风可以让居民睡得很香,不会受到外界噪音的干扰)”可知,上海中心大厦和马可波罗塔的共同点是它们都有自然通风系统。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.(如今,人们越来越重视建筑的“绿色”认证。在地球日,我们将参观来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑)”可知,本文主要介绍了来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑,推测文章可能出自一本建筑杂志上。故选B项。
Passage 2
(2026·高三·湖南衡阳市·一模)
Clean Energy: The Future Is Here
Nearly a century ago, Thomas Edison envisioned using the sun’s boundless energy. Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources:
CLEAN ENERGY
SOLAR
Solar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption.
WIND
Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels.
BIOMASSBiomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms— everything from forest residue to algae and switchgrass.
GEOTHERMALGeothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down.
WATERPOWERFalling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy.
Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details:
Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030/ TWh
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress—the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future.
1.Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost?
A.Solar. B.Waterpower. C.Wind. D.Geothermal.
2.How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030?
A.3,100 TWh. B.3,646 TWh. C.4,000 TWh. D.4,900 TWh.
3.Why does the author quote Edison?
A.To warn of the energy shortage.
B.To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time.
C.To honor his great contributions.
D.To appreciate the evolution of energy.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了五种清洁能源的特点,呈现了2012年与2030年可再生能源发电量的预期数据,并展现了清洁能源的发展态势及对未来的意义。
1.细节理解题。根据文中CLEAN ENERGY图中WIND方框内的“Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy.( 风力发电机所产生的能源成本最低。)”可知,风能是成本相对最低的清洁能源。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据文中给出的柱状图信息可知,生物质能2012年发电量为900TWh,2030年预期为4000 TWh。预期增长量为4000-900=3100 TWh。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress — the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future.( “我会把赌注押在太阳和太阳能上。这可真是个巨大的能源宝库啊!我希望我们不必等到石油和煤炭耗尽之后才去解决这个问题。”托马斯·爱迪生在 1931 年如是说道。他这一具有远见卓识的想法已经成为了实实在在的进步——全球向可再生能源的转变正在迅速推进。这有助于世界以更可持续的方式满足日益增长的能源需求,并构建一个更清洁、更健康、更光明的未来。)”可知,作者引用爱迪生 1931 年对太阳能的展望,后文紧接着说明这一 “远见卓识的想法” 如今已成为现实,全球向可再生能源的转型正快速推进。引用的目的是感慨能源的发展演变,印证清洁能源从设想变为现实的过程。故选D项。
