Green Buildings: A Solution for Cities
Cities consume energy and produce a vast amount of emissions (排放) and waste, putting a burden on both humans and ecology. But our buildings themselves may hold a solution. High-density urban areas-especially those built using green methods in design and construction — can be more energy-efficient and pollute less. New research is revealing that green buildings can actually be good for our health too.
The Building Blocks of Cities
What Makes a Green Building?
Though standards for green buildings vary, they’re generally designed to use less energy and water and improve indoor air quality. The most widely used certification is LEED, with key features like solar panels, green roofs and eco-friendly materials.
Health Benefits of Green Buildings
Efforts focus on outdoor air, even though people spend most of their time indoors, where air quality and other aspects can impact both physical health and mental functioning. Thankfully, green buildings are designed to address these indoor environmental challenges effectively.
Noise Reduction
Productivity is improved in offices using materials to reduce noise.
Enhanced Productivity
In one study, brain function doubled with enhanced ventilation (通风). Better air quality also leads to faster, clearer decision-making at work.
Maximize Natural Light
Workers who sit near windows get more light and sleep an extra 46 minutes at night.
Fewer air Pollutants
Green buildings can reduce illness caused by air quality issues, helping to reduce related Illnesses.
1. What is the aim of green buildings in cities?
A. To lower construction costs B. To make cities sustainable
C. To save eco-friendly materials D. To modernize buildings
2. By what percentage will the urban population increase from today to 2050?
A. 15% B. 30% C. 34% D. 55%
3. Which of the following is a benefit of green buildings?
A. Enhanced artificial light B. Monitored sleep patterns
C. Reduced airflow D. Sharpened thinking skills.

As a mother raising five children and trying to make ends meet, there were times I felt overwhelmed. There were days I’d hold my head, worried about how I was going to feed and clothe my children. I’d sit staring at nothing, wondering what to do, “Why is everything so expensive and how are others coping when I can’t?”
Then, I’d stop myself going down the path of despair. I’d lift my head out from my palm and say, “Listen! No room for panic. Worrying about it won’t feed the kids. Now get your creative flow going and learn to adapt!”
I remember the mornings when I didn’t have bread, so I made pancakes in the shape of my children’s initials. The kids loved them. I learned how thinly I could slice a banana on sandwiches Fruit-topped jelly, arranged in delicate layers, made for a clever yet beloved dessert. And it’s amazing what you can do with potatoes when you put your mind to it.
In my role as a Community Development Officer, I encountered many stories of struggle. Some were similar to mine. while others were about teenagers overcoming smoking addiction, seniors who faced deep loneliness, and people who’d lost their jobs. Listening to others, I realized that struggle wasn’t just my story; it was a shared human experience.
It inspired me to turn my challenges into an opportunity to share coping strategies with other families in the community. I got busy writing So Life’s Not Going to Plan-helping people to see that tough times aren’t a life sentence, but a call to become more inventive and adaptable.
Now, my children are all grown up. We can see life as a maze, with its twists and turns, ins and outs, ups and downs. Let your attitude and creativity lead the way. This journey, tough as it is, is your path to a stronger, more hopeful future.
4. What made the author feel stressed when she raised her children?
A. The struggle with finance. B. The pressure of comparisons.
C. The gap with the children. D. The misbehavior of her kids.
5. How did the author deal with the food problem?
A. By changing her kids’ tastes. B. By consuming cheaper food.
C. By cooking in unusual ways. D. By cutting down food waste.
6. What did the author gain from her job as a Community Development Officer?
A. Stable salary. B. Deep insight.
C. Official recognition. D. Permanent friendship.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Kindness lightens burdens. B. Creativity helps handle hardships.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Confidence helps overcome fears.

For many of us, focusing too much on how much sleep we get is a favorite pastime. Largely that’s thanks to the emergence of the sleep industry, offering everything from wearable trackers to assess sleep quality to medicines that help us sleep better — but are we looking at this all wrong?
The following saying has long been regarded as a golden rule: we try hard to get eight-hour uninterrupted sleep, or we could be on the highway to physical and mental diseases. The acceptance of such belief can become detrimental. It leads to unnecessary worries and even brings more pressure to us. Indeed, it seems that some of us develop “insomnia (失眠) identities” when we aren’t, in fact, insomniacs-at least a third of those who self-assign the label actually sleep well.
The latest research suggests that our mindset around how much sleep we’re getting is crucial in cognitive tests, it’s a subject’s belief about how well they’ve slept, not the objective truth, that predicts how well they perform. The eight-hour sleep standard, too, is shakier than you might think. Evidence for the much-reported harm of having less sleep than that is lacking provided you’re getting over six hours. Sleeping for seven hours is linked with living longer, but extra hours don’t help gain extra benefits. Underlying all of this is the reality that becoming stressed about sleep is contrary to getting it
Changing the current situation is possible. The sleep industry, for one, could refocus itself on helping some people — like those who mistakenly believe they’re insomniacs — understand that they’re getting more and better sleep than they realize, with wearable devices sharing this information. The sleep goals put forward by health bodies and medical professionals could become more realistic, and it could be made clear that short-term sleep shortage is something we’re able to deal with. On an individual level, we can take heart knowing that the often-impossible ideals enforced are less concrete than we might believe. Our over-worrying about sleep might have become a favorite pastime but perhaps it’s time for a new hobby.
8. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Puzzling B. Typical C. Harmful D. Unavoidable
9. What determines the subjects’ cognitive performance according to the research?
A. Their sleep quality B. Their length of rest time.
C. Their physical state D. Their perception of sleep
10. What is one of the author’s suggestions to change the current situation?
A. Easing sleep anxiety B. Advancing sleep-tracking devices
C. Extending sleep time D. Making long-term sleep strategies.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To predict health trends B. To present various viewpoints
C. To introduce a practical theory D. To contradict a common belief.

Mars, our nearest planetary neighbor, has long been the focus of global space exploration, especially in the ongoing search for signs of past life. It is often seen as a cold, dry desert world today, but a new study has found that it may have been far wetter and more climatically stable in ancient times
Led by Adam Losekoot, a PhD student at the Open University, UK, a research team has discovered over 15,000 kilometers of ancient riverbeds across Noachis Terra, a less-explored region in Mars’ southern highlands. These ancient river remains, known as “inverted (倒置的) channels”, were formed when sediment (沉积物) left by rivers hardened over millions of years. As the softer surrounding rock and soil wore away, these hardened riverbed substances were left as raised ridges (脊) across the landscape. Unlike the valley networks that scientists have long studied as signs of ancient water, these inverted channels show that flowing water existed on Mars for a long, stable period, not just in short, sudden warming events.
The team used data from three advanced orbital instruments on NASA’S ongoing Mars missions, including high-resolution cameras and laser altimeters, to map and study these ridges. They found that the channels spread widely across the region, with some stretching for hundreds of kilometers, winding across the highlands just like common rivers on Earth. The broad distribution and consistent shape of these features suggest that the water came from regular rainfall, no occasional water from ice sheets
Noachis Terra is like a perfect time capsule, said Losekoot. “It has remained largely unchanged for 3.7 billion years, so it can tell us things about Mars’ ancient climate that we can’t learn from Earth. The active geological (地质的) movement on earth, like the shifting of rock layers and frequent volcanic eruptions, has erased most of its early history from over 3 billion years ago. The findings challenge the widely-held belief that ancient Mars was mostly cold and dry suggesting instead that it had long periods of warm, wet conditions that could have provided a suitable environment for life to form.”
12. What can we infer about Noachis Terra from the text?
A. It is mainly comprised of rock and soil.
B. It is not the main focus of most previous studies on Mars.
C. It has more valley networks than any other region on Mars.
D. It is the only region on Mars with signs of ancient flowing water.
13. What conclusion can we draw from the new study’s findings?
A. Mars was once more geologically active than Earth.
B. Ancient Mars’ water mainly came from ice sheet meltwater.
C. The traditional view of ancient Mars’ climate may be incorrect.
D. The inverted channels on Mars formed during short sudden events.
14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The significance of the discovery.
B. The damage of geological movement.
C. The secret to the unchanging Mars’ climate.
D. The different climates between Earth and Mars.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Perfect Time Capsule on Mars.
B. NASA’S New Exploration Mission on Mars.
C. The Long History of Climate Change on Mars.
D. A New Discovery of Ancient River Systems on Mars.

In a freezing cold midwinter, there was a pregnant dog walking through the night seeking shelter in a village. She scanned the roadside for a home where the new life growing inside her might rest safely for the night. She labored along without complaint, her way made heavier and heavier as she inched forward. She needed a warm and dry place safe from the bitter wind and snow. She might need to give birth before long, but she couldn’t do it right here on the roadside
Gus, a wildlife officer who worked closely with a local animal shelter, was driving home from work when he spotted the dog in the flash of his headlights. It was snowing so hard and it was difficult to see, but he could tell the dog was wearing a collar with a tag. Gus parked his truck and approached the dog slowly. He stretched out his hands to the poor dog and read her tags by his truck’s headlights: She was a pregnant dog named Pepper, with the owner’s phone number ten on the tag. He fished out his phone from his pocket to call the number listed, but it was wing so hard that his phone’s screen was blurred by the snow Gus put the dog in his truck, and cleared the snow on the screen. Then he called the number from the dog’s tag inside the truck. A man answered immediately but grew defensive when Gus told him why he was calling. The man said that he had given the dog away. When asked who he had given the dog to, the man became impatient, Just replying that he didn’t know the names of the people.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Cities consume energy and produce a vast amount of emissions (排放) and waste, putting a burden on both humans and ecology. But our buildings themselves may hold a solution. High-density urban areas-especially those built using green methods in design and construction-can be more energy-efficient and pollute less. (城市消耗能源,同时产生大量排放物与废弃物,给人类和生态环境都带来了负担。但建筑本身或许就蕴藏着解决办法。高密度城区,尤其是那些在设计和建造阶段采用绿色理念打造的区域,能够更加节能,且污染更少。)”可知,绿色建筑旨在节约能源、减少污染,帮助城市实现可持续发展。

As a mother raising five children and trying to make ends meet, there were times I felt overwhelmed. There were days I’d hold my head, worried about how I was going to feed and clothe my children. I’d sit staring at nothing, wondering what to do, “Why is everything so expensive and how are others coping when I can’t?”
Then, I’d stop myself going down the path of despair. I’d lift my head out from my palm and say, “Listen! No room for panic. Worrying about it won’t feed the kids. Now get your creative flow going and learn to adapt!”
I remember the mornings when I didn’t have bread, so I made pancakes in the shape of my children’s initials. The kids loved them. I learned how thinly I could slice a banana on sandwiches Fruit-topped jelly, arranged in delicate layers, made for a clever yet beloved dessert. And it’s amazing what you can do with potatoes when you put your mind to it.
In my role as a Community Development Officer, I encountered many stories of struggle. Some were similar to mine. while others were about teenagers overcoming smoking addiction, seniors who faced deep loneliness, and people who’d lost their jobs. Listening to others, I realized that struggle wasn’t just my story; it was a shared human experience.
It inspired me to turn my challenges into an opportunity to share coping strategies with other families in the community. I got busy writing So Life’s Not Going to Plan-helping people to see that tough times aren’t a life sentence, but a call to become more inventive and adaptable.
Now, my children are all grown up. We can see life as a maze, with its twists and turns, ins and outs, ups and downs. Let your attitude and creativity lead the way. This journey, tough as it is, is your path to a stronger, more hopeful future.

There were days I’d hold my head, worried about how I was going to feed and clothe my children. I’d sit staring at nothing, wondering what to do, “Why is everything so expensive and how are others coping when I can’t?”(作为一位既要抚养五个孩子又要努力维持生计的母亲,曾有好几次我感到不堪重负。有时我会垂头丧气,担心如何给孩子们提供食物和衣物。我会静静地坐着,凝视着前方,不知该做些什么,“为什么一切东西都这么贵?别人在这样的情况下都能应付得过来,而我却不行……”)”可知,作者养育孩子时,因物价过高难以解决孩子的温饱问题,即经济上的拮据让她感到压力大。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I remember the mornings when I didn’t have bread, so I made pancakes in the shape of my children’s initials. The kids loved them. I learned how thinly I could slice a banana on sandwiches Fruit-topped jelly, arranged in delicate layers, made for a clever yet beloved dessert. And it’s amazing what you can do with potatoes when you put your mind to it.(我记得那些没有面包的日子,于是我就用孩子们的名字首字母做了些煎饼。孩子们很喜欢这些煎饼。我还学会了如何将香蕉切得极薄,用于制作三明治。水果果冻点缀其间,层层叠叠,构成了一道精巧却深受喜爱的甜点。而且,只要你用心去做,土豆也能做出很多有趣的东西)”可知,作者在没有面包时制作造型独特的煎饼,将香蕉切薄片制作三明治,即通过新颖的烹任方式解决了家中的食物短缺问题。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In my role as a Community Development Officer, I encountered many stories of struggle.

Listening to others, I realized that struggle wasn’t just my story; it was a shared human experience.(作为社区发展专员,我接触到了许多关于挣扎的故事。有些与我的经历相似,而有些则是关于青少年克服烟瘾、老年人面临深深的孤独感,以及那些失去工作的人的故事。倾听这些故事后,我意识到挣扎并非仅仅是我的个人经历,而是一种人类共同的经历)”可知,作者在工作中接触到各类身处困境的人,发现困境并非个人经历,而是人类的共同体验,由此对社会及自我有了更深的了解。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“It inspired me to turn my challenges into an opportunity to share coping strategies with other families in the community. I got busy writing So Life’s Not Going to Plan-helping people to see that tough times aren’t a life sentence, but a call to become more inventive and adaptable.(这激励我将自身的挑战转化为一个契机,即向社区中的其他家庭分享应对策略。我开始忙着撰写《生活并非按计划进行》一书——旨在帮助人们认识到艰难时期并不等于一辈子的桎梏,而是一次促使我们更具创新精神和适应能力的契机)”以及作者面对经济困境时,用创意解决食物难题,后又将自身经历转化为帮助他人的机会,作者的经历体现出创造力有助于应对生活中的磨难。
C
For many of us, focusing too much on how much sleep we get is a favorite pastime. Largely that’s thanks to the emergence of the sleep industry, offering everything from wearable trackers to assess sleep quality to medicines that help us sleep better — but are we looking at this all wrong?
The following saying has long been regarded as a golden rule: we try hard to get eight-hour uninterrupted sleep, or we could be on the highway to physical and mental diseases. The acceptance of such belief can become detrimental. It leads to unnecessary worries and even brings more pressure to us. Indeed, it seems that some of us develop “insomnia (失眠) identities” when we aren’t, in fact, insomniacs-at least a third of those who self-assign the label actually sleep well.
The latest research suggests that our mindset around how much sleep we’re getting is crucial in cognitive tests, it’s a subject’s belief about how well they’ve slept, not the objective truth, that predicts how well they perform. The eight-hour sleep standard, too, is shakier than you might think. Evidence for the much-reported harm of having less sleep than that is lacking provided you’re getting over six hours. Sleeping for seven hours is linked with living longer, but extra hours don’t help gain extra benefits. Underlying all of this is the reality that becoming stressed about sleep is contrary to getting it
Changing the current situation is possible. The sleep industry, for one, could refocus itself on helping some people — like those who mistakenly believe they’re insomniacs — understand that they’re getting more and better sleep than they realize, with wearable devices sharing this information. The sleep goals put forward by health bodies and medical professionals could become more realistic, and it could be made clear that short-term sleep shortage is something we’re able to deal with. On an individual level, we can take heart knowing that the often-impossible ideals enforced are less concrete than we might believe. Our over-worrying about sleep might have become a favorite pastime but perhaps it’s time for a new hobby.
8. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Puzzling B. Typical C. Harmful D. Unavoidable
9. What determines the subjects’ cognitive performance according to the research?
A. Their sleep quality B. Their length of rest time.
C. Their physical state D. Their perception of sleep
10. What is one of the author’s suggestions to change the current situation?
A. Easing sleep anxiety B. Advancing sleep-tracking devices
C. Extending sleep time D. Making long-term sleep strategies.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To predict health trends B. To present various viewpoints
C. To introduce a practical theory D. To contradict a common belief.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】主要反驳人们必须睡满八小时的传统固有认知,指出过度纠结睡眠时长反而产生焦虑,并给出调整睡眠心态的相关建议。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The acceptance of such belief can become detrimental. It leads to unnecessary worries and even brings more pressure to us.(接受这种观念可能会变得detrimental。它会引发不必要的担忧,甚至给我们带来更多压力。)”可知,这种固有认知会带来负面、不利的后果,由此可推断,detrimental意为“有害的”,与Harmful含义一致。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The latest research suggests that our mindset around how much sleep we’re getting is crucial in cognitive tests, it’s a subject’s belief about how well they’ve slept, not the objective truth, that predicts how well they perform.(最新研究表明,我们对自身睡眠时长的心态在认知测试中至关重要,决定表现好坏的不是客观睡眠事实,而是个人对自己睡眠状况的主观看法。)”可知,决定受试者认知表现的是自身对睡眠的主观感知。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The sleep industry, for one, could refocus itself on helping some people — like those who mistakenly believe they’re insomniacs — understand that they’re getting more and better sleep than they realize, with wearable devices sharing this information. The sleep goals put forward by health bodies and medical professionals could become more realistic, and it could be made clear that short-term sleep shortage is something we’re able to deal with.(首先,睡眠行业可以重新聚焦帮助部分人群,比如那些误以为自己失眠的人,让他们通过可穿戴设备了解到自己的睡眠比认知中更充足、质量更好。卫生机构和医疗专家提出的睡眠目标可以更贴合实际,同时明确短期睡眠不足是我们能够应对的。)”可知,作者建议调整睡眠行业导向、制定贴合实际的睡眠目标,本质都是为了缓解人们的睡眠焦虑。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“The following saying has long been regarded as a golden rule: we try hard to get eight-hour uninterrupted sleep, or we could be on the highway to physical and mental diseases.(长期以来,每晚必须不间断睡足八小时,否则易患上身心疾病被奉为金科玉律。)”以及后文全程论证该观点并不科学、过度纠结睡眠反而有害可知,文章旨在反驳大众普遍信奉的八小时睡眠固有观念。

Mars, our nearest planetary neighbor, has long been the focus of global space exploration, especially in the ongoing search for signs of past life. It is often seen as a cold, dry desert world today, but a new study has found that it may have been far wetter and more climatically stable in ancient times
Led by Adam Losekoot, a PhD student at the Open University, UK, a research team has discovered over 15,000 kilometers of ancient riverbeds across Noachis Terra, a less-explored region in Mars’ southern highlands. These ancient river remains, known as “inverted (倒置的) channels”, were formed when sediment (沉积物) left by rivers hardened over millions of years. As the softer surrounding rock and soil wore away, these hardened riverbed substances were left as raised ridges (脊) across the landscape. Unlike the valley networks that scientists have long studied as signs of ancient water, these inverted channels show that flowing water existed on Mars for a long, stable period, not just in short, sudden warming events.
The team used data from three advanced orbital instruments on NASA’S ongoing Mars missions, including high-resolution cameras and laser altimeters, to map and study these ridges. They found that the channels spread widely across the region, with some stretching for hundreds of kilometers, winding across the highlands just like common rivers on Earth. The broad distribution and consistent shape of these features suggest that the water came from regular rainfall, no occasional water from ice sheets
Noachis Terra is like a perfect time capsule, said Losekoot. “It has remained largely unchanged for 3.7 billion years, so it can tell us things about Mars’ ancient climate that we can’t learn from Earth. The active geological (地质的) movement on earth, like the shifting of rock layers and frequent volcanic eruptions, has erased most of its early history from over 3 billion years ago. The findings challenge the widely-held belief that ancient Mars was mostly cold and dry suggesting instead that it had long periods of warm, wet conditions that could have provided a suitable environment for life to form.”
12. What can we infer about Noachis Terra from the text?
A. It is mainly comprised of rock and soil.
B. It is not the main focus of most previous studies on Mars.
C. It has more valley networks than any other region on Mars.
D. It is the only region on Mars with signs of ancient flowing water.
13. What conclusion can we draw from the new study’s findings?
A. Mars was once more geologically active than Earth.
B. Ancient Mars’ water mainly came from ice sheet meltwater.
C. The traditional view of ancient Mars’ climate may be incorrect.
D. The inverted channels on Mars formed during short sudden events.
14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The significance of the discovery.
B. The damage of geological movement.
C. The secret to the unchanging Mars’ climate.
D. The different climates between Earth and Mars.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Perfect Time Capsule on Mars.
B. NASA’S New Exploration Mission on Mars.
C. The Long History of Climate Change on Mars.
D. A New Discovery of Ancient River Systems on Mars.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍科研团队在火星诺亚高地发现古河道遗迹,分析其形成与水源来源,该发现颠覆了远古火星寒冷干燥的传统认知。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Led by Adam Losekoot, a PhD student at the Open University, UK, a research team has discovered over 15,000 kilometers of ancient riverbeds across Noachis Terra, a less-explored region in Mars’ southern highlands.(由英国开放大学博士生亚当·洛塞库特带领的研究团队,在火星南部高地一处探索较少的诺亚高地发现了超过15000公里的古河床。)”可知,诺亚高地是火星南部高地中探索较少的区域,并不是以往大多数火星研究的重点区域。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The findings challenge the widely-held belief that ancient Mars was mostly cold and dry suggesting instead that it had long periods of warm, wet conditions that could have provided a suitable environment for life to form.(这些发现挑战了人们普遍持有的远古火星大多寒冷干燥的观点,反而表明火星曾长期处于温暖湿润状态,可为生命形成提供适宜环境。)”可知,人们对远古火星气候的传统观点可能并不正确。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段“Noachis Terra is like a perfect time capsule, said Losekoot.(洛斯库特说,诺亚高地如同一个完美的时间胶囊。)”以及“It has remained largely unchanged for 3.7 billion years, so it can tell us things about Mars’ ancient climate that we can’t learn from Earth.(它37亿年来基本保持原貌,能告诉我们从地球无法获知的火星古气候信息。)”和“The findings challenge the widely-held belief that ancient Mars was mostly cold and dry suggesting instead that it had long periods of warm, wet conditions that could have provided a suitable environment for life to form. (这一发现挑战了远古火星大多寒冷干燥的普遍观点,表明火星曾有长期温暖湿润时期,具备生命形成的适宜环境。)”可知,本段重在阐述本次古河道发现的研究价值与科学意义。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“Led by Adam Losekoot, a Phd student at the Open University, UK, a research team has discovered over 15,000 kilometers of ancient riverbeds across Noachis Terra, a less-explored region in Mars’ southern highlands.(由英国开放大学博士生亚当·洛斯库特带领的研究团队,在火星南部高地探索较少的诺亚高地,发现了总长超15000公里的古河床。)”以及后文介绍古倒置河道的形成特征、分布范围、降水成因及该发现对改写火星古气候认知的作用可知,文章围绕火星远古河道系统的全新发现展开论述,所以“A New Discovery of Ancient River Systems on Mars(火星远古水系的新发现)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。

【16题详解】
根据上文“You can see drones send medicines, carry out agricultural practices, or aid during disasters.(你可以看到无人机能够运送药品、进行农业作业,或者在灾难发生时提供援助)”以及后文“Vehicles like drones in just a few years have gone from being an attractive promise to a social, economic and industrial reality. And this type of use has also been environmentally important.(像无人机这样的设备,在短短几年内就从一个颇具吸引力的愿景转变为一种社会、经济和工业层面的现实。而且这种用途在环保方面也具有重要意义)”可知,上文列举了无人机的若干实际用途,空后提及无人机成为社会、经济和工业领域的现实存在,且有重要的环境方面的用途,A项“这些就是无人机的一些令人惊讶的用途”衔接上文的无人机用途,自然引出下文对其环境用途的介绍。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Following the idea of some investigators who proposed using drones to preserve tropical forests the start-up Biocarbon Engineering has intended to use these vehicles to carry out reforestation.(受一些研究者提议利用无人机保护热带森林这一想法的启发,初创企业“生物碳工程”计划利用这些飞行器来进行植树造林工作)”以及后文“In order to replant and rehabilitate (修复) the affected areas, the company plans to use drones with which they will repopulate a billion trees at a time.(为了对受灾地区进行重新造林和修复工作,该公司计划使用无人机,一次性种植十亿棵树)”可知,上文指出该公司计划用无人机开展植树造林工作,空后说明公司计划一次性重新种植十亿棵树,F项“地球上每年有260亿棵树被破坏”解释了大规模开展植树造林工作的背景和必要性,符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据后文“But it’s necessary in regions where forests need to be restored following disasters such as fires. The company believes that drones make these jobs easier, smoother, and cheaper. In particular, it proposes that automated technology will improve mapping and especially the planting of new trees.(但在那些因火灾等灾害而需要恢复森林的地区,这种技术是必不可少的。该公司认为,无人机能让这些工作变得更轻松、更顺畅、成本更低。特别是,它提出自动化技术将有助于改进地图绘制工作,尤其是新树木的种植工作)”可知,空后表明无人机能让植树造林相关工作更简便、顺利且成本更低,E项“植树造林任务通常复杂且成本极高”与下文形成呼应,凸显出无人机在开展这类工作时的优势。
【19题详解】
根据上文“With regards to planting, Biocarbon Engineering has opted for introducing platforms with algorithms which enable a more precise reforestation. The use of these vehicles doesn’t mean that they’ll take over human jobs, as Lauren Fletcher, CEO of the company and ex NASA engineer, explained.(关于种植方面,生物碳工程公司选择了引入具有算法的平台,以便实现更精准的森林再造。该公司首席执行官劳伦·弗莱彻(曾是美国国家航空航天局的工程师)解释说,使用这些设备并不意味着它们会取代人类的工作)”可知,上文提到公司CEO说明无人机并不会取代人类的工作,G项“这仅仅意味着利用这些工具可以更有效地完成这些工作”承接该内容,说明无人机的使用能计这些造林工作开展得更高效,进一步说明无人机与人工工作的配合关系。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Recently, the company was recognized as one of the 14 winning start-ups at the Solutions Summit in New York, for having taken it upon themselves to solve one of the 70 global issues set out by the United Nations.(最近,该公司在纽约举行的“解决方案峰会”上被评为14家获奖初创企业之一,原因是其主动承担起了解决联合国所设定的70个全球性问题中的一项任务)”以及后文“They help support the work carried out to improve and look after our planet.(他们帮助支持了旨在改善和保护我们地球的各项工作)”可知,上文说明该公司因致力解决联合国提出的全球性问题获奖,空后指出他们助力改善和保护地球。D项“它的无人机正承担着一项重大的环境挑战”衔接上下文,符合语境。

【答案】范文
Gus put down the phone and looked at Pepper with a soft heart. His heart was filled with deep pity for Pepper, for he could never bear to leave her homeless in the freezing snow. He knew he must offer her a safe shelter. With gentle kindness in mind, he called the local animal shelter, explained what was going on and asked if they could adopt Pepper. Luckily, the staff agreed to take her in without hesitation. He drove Pepper along the country road to the shelter. Safe and warm, she soon settled down in a cozy corner. No longer would she suffer from the bitter wind and heavy snow alone.
A week later, Gus received a sweet call from the local animal shelter. News came that Pepper had given birth to several healthy little puppies, safe and sound. Thrilled at the news, Gus drove to the shelter. Hardly had he stepped into the shelter when he spotted Pepper with her newborn babies. At the sight of Gus, Pepper wagged her tail softly to show her gratitude. Surrounded by soft blankets, she kept her eyes on him, full of quiet trust and thanks. It was this small kindness that warmed the cold winter thoroughly, and a little care can always light up helpless little lives.
