D.To celebrate Beatrix Potter's 150th birthday B Back in 2003,Erica Fernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach.They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard.The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica's community.Not only that,the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators,and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean.This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem,killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent.She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company.Prospects of stopping the project did not look good.The governor was in favor of it,and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it."The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do." Behind the scenes,however,opposition was growing,so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town.She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline. using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses.She talked to the media,and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press."We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea."In July 2007,the governor made an unexpected move:He turned down the project.Erica and her friends won！ As only the second person in her family to go to college,Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities.She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong,even if they feel shy about it at first.She likes to quote the words of her role model,Cesar Chavez:"We are the future.The future is ours." 第3页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap 24.What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station?

C Today,with the help of Al tools,anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images.Yet this raises a serious question for architects:if technology lowers the technical barrier,what remains the true value of design?The answer,many experts believe,lies in deeper philosophical thinking. Architecture is not only about structure.It also reflects how humans understand life.This understanding begins with the individual-how a building can shape people's emotions.It then extends to the community-whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately,it touches upon time itself-how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change.In many cities,preserving every old structure,no matter its function or relevance,has become something of a sacred cow,admired by all but discussed by few.Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community's best interest. AI can copy thousands of design styles,but it cannot make value judgments.It does not know why, for instance,a library in Colombia places its reading rooms-not offices-in the brightest and highest spaces:a design choice symbolizing equality.As scholar Nayef Al Rodhan points out,"good design should possess valuable qualities,including fairness,inclusion,and safety,which cannot be outsourced toAL” In the future,the best architects may not be those who master AI tools,but those who master philosophical reflection.Saudi Arabia's planned city "The Line"is one such example.Its design is not only technological but also philosophical-it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature.By turning a traditional city into a single vertical ( line,it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life. Freed from repetitive drafting work,architects in the age of Al must think more deeply about humanity,community,and sustainability.The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy,not where one replaces the other. 28.What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A.To introduce examples of modern cities. B.To compare architecture with philosophy. C.To describe how Al will change construction.D.To present architecture from a philosophical view. 29.What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A.Great design is human-centered. B.AI will reshape public buildings. C.The best design feels almost invisible. D.Equality is the core of modern design. 30.Which of the following best describes the nature of"The Line"? A.A philosophy-guided theory. B.An eco-friendly city project. C.A social welfare housing plan. D.An economically-driven design. 第4页 CS扫描全能王 可壁3亿人都在用的扫描Ap 31.What's the best title of the text? A.Al:The Future ofArchitectural Design B.Al:The Missing of Humanity C.Architecture:Preservation of Ancient Techniques D.Architecture:The Integration of AI and Philosophy D Could ants'nests help people build beter transportation networks?In a new study,University of California biologists have discovered insights about how ants build their nests that could be useful for designing more efficient buman transportation systems. The researchers analyzed 439 nests from 31 different species of ants."You can think of the nest itself as a kind of highway network they move things in and out of,"said Sean O'Fallon,the study's first author. "Ants face similar challenges to humans when it comes to living in crowded spaces.Ideally,we need to maintain close connections in a tightly packed city,yet there are limitations to how closely packed together we can be.There's only so much space available for buildings and roads."Ants'nests consist of a tunnel leading down to an entrance chamber(),where ants recruit(other ants to help them find or transport food.From the entrance chamber,tunnels lead down to other chambers, which are connected by tunnels to still deeper chambers.Chambers serve different purposes,such as food and waste storage and raising the young. The researchers examined four common foraging()strategies used by ants.In some species, individual ants hunt for food.In others,an ant brings food to the nest as a means of recruiting other ants to accompany it to the food source.Ants can also form a continuous route between the food source and the nest that can last for months.Or they can leave a special route that other ants can follow in large numbers a phenomenon called "mass recruitment".The researchers had expected that nests for the mass recruitment foragers would have greater "network density()"-meaning larger numbers of connections among the chambers-than nests built by other species.Greater network density,the scientists reasoned,would help facilitate more movement of ants and resources throughout the nest. But the research revealed that for ants representing all four foraging strategies,network density was relatively low-even for large nests with hundreds of chambers.In fact,across all foraging strategies,nests with the most chambers tended to have the lowest network density. "Ants have to balance the efficiency of highly connected nests with architectural stability,"said Sean O'Fallon."On one hand,they want transportation to be faster,but too many connections between chambers could weaken the structural integrity of the nest,which could cause the entire system to collapse." 32.What does the text tell us about the structure of ants'nests? A.The entrance chamber is the largest part. B.Different chambers have specific functions. C.All chambers connect directly to the entrance. D.Deeper chambers are usually for raising the young. 33.How is the first foraging strategy different from the other three? A.Ants search for food independently. B.Ants form a long-lasting path to food C.Ants bring food from the food source. D.Ants follow a specific route to the food source. 34.What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A.To draw a conclusion about how ants build their nests. B.To explain why ants avoid creating too many connections. C.To prove that ants are good at building transportation networks. D.To show how ants maintain the structural integrity of their nests. 第5页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 35.In what way can humans leam from ants'ncsts? A.Building strong structures that never collapse. B.Working in harmony in crowded environments. C.Communicating effectively with each other in large groups.

Notice the structure.Poems aren't just words on a page.Their form,including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks,and line lengths,contributes to meaning.A tightly structured poem might evoke ( order,while broken lines could reflect chaos.Don't overlook punctuation (or capitalization.37 Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor.Poets paint pictures with words,so visualize the scenes they describe.Ask:What senses are engaged?A poem about rain might feel cold and damp.Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas. Consider the poet's perspective.Who is speaking?Is it the poet's voice,a character,or an abstract being?Understanding the "speaker"can clarify the poem's intention.38 Historical events,personal experiences,or cultural symbols may influence its meaning. _39 Poetry grows on emotion,and there's no"correct"interpretation.Your response-whether joy,sorrow,or curiosity-is acceptable.Revisit the poem:meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises,and research unfamiliar references if they interest you. in short,appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery.Slow down,listen,and trust your feelings.40 Rather,it's about appreciating the interplay of sound,image,and idea that makes poetry timeless. A.Let yourself feel. B.Context matters as well. C.Don't be afraid of making mistakes. D.These shape how you stop and interpret E.Pay artention to how words flow together. F.This is not like unlocking a"secret password" G.The poem's background determines the style. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No one is willing to fall ill,especially in a foreign country alone.41,such was exactly what happened to me.
