This vision is becoming real as urban designers use nature-inspired ideas like biomimicry, permaculture (永久农业), and Feng Shui. Ancient wisdom inspires modern solutions: Biomimicry The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe copies termite mounds to stay cool. Its thick brick walls absorb heat by day and release it at night. Cool air flows in through openings at the bottom, lowering temperatures naturally. This avoids costly air conditioning, saving over 50% energy and $3.5 million compared to traditional building.    Permaculture Christchurch’s Ōtākaro Orchard creates self-sustaining food systems after a 2011 earthquake. This project features 5 public food forests, 26 community gardens, 70 food-producing gardens in schools, and 26,000 fruit trees on public land, which help make sure there’s enough food in case of disasters. Feng Shui Feng Shui makes people and their surroundings work well together by balancing the flow of energy, or chi. In Hong Kong, buildings are put near natural things to bring good energy. The Bank of China Tower uses triangular shapes to help things grow, and the International Commerce Centre has round edges for smooth energy flow. Old Ideas, New Uses Long ago, the Aztecs made floating gardens. Egyptians built cool houses. Now, Singapore beautifully mixes these old ideas with new ones in its Gardens by the Bay, applying biomimicry, permaculture, and Feng Shui. Looking Ahead When cities work with nature, they save energy, grow food, and feel peaceful Want to help? Join Earth Day’s talks about clean energy. 1．What is the advantage of Eastgate Center in Zimbabwe? A．It is self-sufficient. B．It is energy-saving. C．It is conveniently located.

Here are four must-visit destinations for bird enthusiasts to capture the beauty of migratory birds in their natural habitat. Haizhu Wetland, Guangzhou Located in the heart of Guangzhou, Haizhu Wetland serves as the city’s green lungs, with rich water networks and abundant birdlife. After years of ecological restoration, it has become a crucial stop for migratory birds. Over 200 bird species can be observed here, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Recently, a rare ruddy shelduck was recorded in the area. Shenzhen Bay Park Shenzhen Bay’s coastal wetlands are home to abundant fish and shrimp, making it an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to May, tens of thousands of migratory birds, including the black-faced spoonbill, tufted duck, and northern shoveler, stop here. This park is not only a birdwatcher’s paradise but also a scenic spot for visitors to enjoy seaside views. Xinghu National Wetland Park, Zhaoqing Xinghu National Wetland Park, with its numerous islands, vast water areas, and abundant fish and shrimp, provides an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds. From October to April, the area attracts flocks of migratory birds alongside resident species like the white egret. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of flocks of herons (鹭) in flight while cruising past the wild bird islands. Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park, Jiangmen Famously described as the “Bird Paradise” by renowned author Ba Jin, Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park is not only a natural birdwatching haven, but also the largest heron breeding ground in South China, with thousands hatched here annually. Its centerpiece—a 400-year-old water banyan tree—has grown into a 13,000 m² forest, home to tens of thousands of birds. During the breeding season in March and April, many visitors take boat tours along the river to witness Ba Jin’s poetic descriptions. 1．What unique feature does Haizhu wetland offer to birdwatchers?

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东江门·期末） One of the longest holidays in China, the five-day May Day holiday ran from Thursday to Monday this year. Many people across China decided to treat themselves to a well-earned vacation. Amid the country’s booming domestic tourism scene, creating “emotional value” has quickly become a new key to winning the hearts of tourists. Rizhao, a coastal city in East China’s Shandong Province, has grabbed national attention and made it on the trending chart on Sina Weibo. During the May Day holiday, it launched the “Dragon King’s Treasure” Clam (蛤) Festival. To ensure visitors left with both clams and cherished memories, organizers threw 1,500 kilograms of clams every day. They even established special bus routes and provided guides for clam-diging techniques and cooking methods. Social media videos captured joyful scenes of tourists chasing trucks that distributed clams, with words like “Rizhao guarantees clams for all” going viral nationwide. The festival’s success lies in its ability to create enjoyable moments. Initially, a marketing term that measured customers’ perceived emotional benefits against cost, the phrase “emotional value” has been growing popular, particularly among young people in China. It now refers to how one’s actions influence others. Bringing comfort and joy adds emotional value, while causing stress or discomfort reduces it. Psychology experts explain that emotional value fulfills people’s need for meaningful connections. “Travel serves as a good way for people to reduce their stress,” noted Dr. Ma Jianwen, an expert in the Clinical Psychology and Supervision Professional Committee of the Guangdong Psychological Association. “Well-designed experiences transform ordinary trips into emotionally engaging journeys.” From clam-digging festivals to cultural role-playing, China’s tourism is rewriting its playbook. “It’s no longer just about pouring money or advancing technology in tourism, ‘emotional value’ plays a key role in helping tourists truly feel a sense of satisfaction. It’s also a key aspect of the deep integration of culture and tourism that is occurring now,” added Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration. 1．What was the purpose of Rizhao’s Clam Festival activities? A．To attract attention on social platform. B．To promote local seafood among tourists. C．To provide free public transportation services. D．To enhance tourists’ experience and satisfaction. 2．According to Para. 3, how does the author explain the term “emotional value”? A．By giving examples. B．By giving definition. C．By making comparison. D．By analyzing the process. 3．What can be inferred about modern Chinese tourists? A．They value emotional satisfaction. B．They seek traditional sightseeing C．They prefer low-cost travel options. D．They demand advanced equipment. 4．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A．The Economic Boom of China’s May Day Holiday B．Rizhao’s Clam Festival: A Viral Social Media Success C．How to Dig Clams: A Guide to China’s Coastal Festivals D．From Convention to Emotion:Rewriting Tourism in Modern China 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 答案版 主题01 人与社会——广告 Passage 1：1．D 2．A 3．A Passage 2：1．A 2．C 3．D Passage 3：1．B 2．A 3．B Passage 4：1．A 2．B 3．B Passage 5：1．C 2．D 3．B 主题02 人与社会——旅游 Passage 1：1．B 2．D 3．A Passage 2：1．A 2．C 3．B 主题01 人与社会——广告 Passage 1：1．B 2．B 3．A Passage 2：1．B 2．C 3．A 主题02 人与社会——旅游 Passage 1：1．D 2．A 3．A Passage 2：1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解（应用文） 主题01 人与社会——广告 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东汕尾·期末） The National Amateur Poetry Competition prides itself on supporting and encouraging all writers, regardless of their background, education or experience.

This vision is becoming real as urban designers use nature-inspired ideas like biomimicry, permaculture (永久农业), and Feng Shui. Ancient wisdom inspires modern solutions: Biomimicry The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe copies termite mounds to stay cool. Its thick brick walls absorb heat by day and release it at night. Cool air flows in through openings at the bottom, lowering temperatures naturally. This avoids costly air conditioning, saving over 50% energy and $3.5 million compared to traditional building.    Permaculture Christchurch’s Ōtākaro Orchard creates self-sustaining food systems after a 2011 earthquake.

Its thick brick walls absorb heat by day and release it at night. Cool air flows in through openings at the bottom, lowering temperatures naturally. This avoids costly air conditioning, saving over 50% energy and $3.5 million compared to traditional building. (津巴布韦的Eastgate Centre模仿白蚁丘来保持凉爽。它厚厚的砖墙白天吸收热量，晚上释放热量。冷空气从底部的开口流入，自然降低温度。这避免了昂贵的空调费用，与传统建筑相比，节省了超过50%的能源和350万美元。)”可知，Eastgate Centre的优势是节能。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据Permaculture中“Christchurch’s Ōtākaro Orchard creates self-sustaining food systems after a 2011 earthquake.

Haizhu Wetland, Guangzhou Located in the heart of Guangzhou, Haizhu Wetland serves as the city’s green lungs, with rich water networks and abundant birdlife. After years of ecological restoration, it has become a crucial stop for migratory birds. Over 200 bird species can be observed here, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Recently, a rare ruddy shelduck was recorded in the area. Shenzhen Bay Park Shenzhen Bay’s coastal wetlands are home to abundant fish and shrimp, making it an ideal feeding ground for migratory birds.

This park is not only a birdwatcher’s paradise but also a scenic spot for visitors to enjoy seaside views.

Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park, Jiangmen Famously described as the “Bird Paradise” by renowned author Ba Jin, Bird’s Paradise National Wetland Park is not only a natural birdwatching haven, but also the largest heron breeding ground in South China, with thousands hatched here annually. Its centerpiece—a 400-year-old water banyan tree—has grown into a 13,000 m² forest, home to tens of thousands of birds.

Many people across China decided to treat themselves to a well-earned vacation. Amid the country’s booming domestic tourism scene, creating “emotional value” has quickly become a new key to winning the hearts of tourists. Rizhao, a coastal city in East China’s Shandong Province, has grabbed national attention and made it on the trending chart on Sina Weibo. During the May Day holiday, it launched the “Dragon King’s Treasure” Clam (蛤) Festival. To ensure visitors left with both clams and cherished memories, organizers threw 1,500 kilograms of clams every day. They even established special bus routes and provided guides for clam-diging techniques and cooking methods. Social media videos captured joyful scenes of tourists chasing trucks that distributed clams, with words like “Rizhao guarantees clams for all” going viral nationwide. The festival’s success lies in its ability to create enjoyable moments. Initially, a marketing term that measured customers’ perceived emotional benefits against cost, the phrase “emotional value” has been growing popular, particularly among young people in China. It now refers to how one’s actions influence others. Bringing comfort and joy adds emotional value, while causing stress or discomfort reduces it. Psychology experts explain that emotional value fulfills people’s need for meaningful connections. “Travel serves as a good way for people to reduce their stress,” noted Dr. Ma Jianwen, an expert in the Clinical Psychology and Supervision Professional Committee of the Guangdong Psychological Association. “Well-designed experiences transform ordinary trips into emotionally engaging journeys.” From clam-digging festivals to cultural role-playing, China’s tourism is rewriting its playbook. “It’s no longer just about pouring money or advancing technology in tourism, ‘emotional value’ plays a key role in helping tourists truly feel a sense of satisfaction.
