Building with 3D printing technology is sparking widespread interest in the construction industry. Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building.
Instant Neighborhood
Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world.
Nested Housing
Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp(黄蜂)nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more.
Think Schools
African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week.
Concrete Steps
Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression(压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 percent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled.
1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing?
A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school
C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge.
2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused?
A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps.
C. Think School. D. Nested Housing.
3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common?
A. They use local materials. B. They are affordable to the homeless
C. They are high in cost. D. They make construction faster.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D

For Sarah, a librarian in a small town in Oregon, the library was never just a place for books. But it wasn’t until the record-breaking heatwave last summer that she realized its true potential as a “community living room.”
As temperatures climbed to dangerous levels, Sarah noticed an unusual influx of people. It wasn’t just the regular readers; it was elderly couples whose homes lacked air conditioning, exhausted delivery workers looking for a cool corner, and teenagers who usually spent their afternoons at the now-closed local park. The library, with its powerful cooling system and free Wi-Fi, became a sanctuary.
One afternoon, Sarah spotted a man named David sitting near the back, staring blankly at a computer screen. After a brief conversation, she learned that David had recently lost his job and, without a home internet connection, was struggling to apply for new positions. Seeing his frustration, Sarah didn’t just point him to a shelf. She spent her lunch breaks for the next week helping him polish his resume and navigating complex job portals.
“Libraries are the only places where you can exist without being expected to spend money,” Sarah observed. Inspired by the crisis, she started a “Career Corner” in the library, offering free printing services and weekly workshops. The initiative was a huge success, attracting local business owners who volunteered to conduct mock interviews.
Months later, David walked in, not to escape the heat, but to share the news that he had secured a technician job. He handed Sarah a small potted plant — a token of gratitude. For Sarah, the library had evolved. It was no longer just a quiet space for silence, but a dynamic hub where lives were rebuilt.
4. What did Sarah find out about the library during the heatwave?
A. It needed a more powerful cooling system. B. It could serve as a vital social center.
C. It attracted fewer readers than expected. D. It was too small for the growing influx.
5. What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A quiet research lab. B. A busy marketplace.
C. A historic monument. D. A safe shelter.
6. What can we infer about the “Career Corner” ?
A. It was initially a government project. B. It focused mainly on young teenagers.
C. It replaced the library’s traditional roles. D. It benefited from community support.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Sarah: A Librarian with a Green Thumb.
B. David’s Journey: From Heat to a New Job.
C. The Library: More Than Just a Quiet Space.
D. Public Services: How to Survive a Heatwave.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了图书馆员Sarah在酷暑期间发现图书馆不仅是阅读场所,更是社区避难所与互助中心,并由此开设职业角帮助他人重获生活希望的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But it wasn’t until the record-breaking heatwave last summer that she realized its true potential as a “community living room.”(但是直到去年夏天破纪录的热浪来袭,她才意识到图书馆作为“社区客厅”的真正潜力。)”可知,Sarah发现图书馆可以充当重要的社交中心。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“It wasn’t just the regular readers; it was elderly couples whose homes lacked air conditioning, exhausted delivery workers looking for a cool corner, and teenagers who usually spent their afternoons at the now-closed local park. The library, with its powerful cooling system and free Wi-Fi, became a sanctuary.(这里不只有常来的读者,还有家里没装空调的老年夫妇、想找个凉快角落歇一歇的疲惫外卖员,以及往常下午都在现已关闭的社区公园里打发时间的青少年。这座有着强劲制冷系统和免费Wi‑Fi的图书馆,成了一处sanctuary。)”可知,这里讲人们在图书馆躲避酷暑,所以可判断sanctuary意为安全的避难所。故选D 项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Inspired by the crisis, she started a “Career Corner” in the library, offering free printing services and weekly workshops. The initiative was a huge success, attracting local business owners who volunteered to conduct mock interviews.(受这场危机的启发,她在图书馆设立了一个“职业角”,提供免费打印服务和每周一次的专题讲座。这一举措大获成功,还吸引了当地企业主自愿前来组织模拟面试。)”可知,职业角得到了社区的支持。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是最后一段“Months later, David walked in, not to escape the heat, but to share the news that he had secured a technician job. He handed Sarah a small potted plant — a token of gratitude. For Sarah, the library had evolved. It was no longer just a quiet space for silence, but a dynamic hub where lives were rebuilt.(几个月后,大卫走了进来,不再是为了避暑,而是来分享喜讯:他找到了一份技术员的工作。他递给萨拉一盆小盆栽,以此表达谢意。对萨拉而言,这座图书馆已然蜕变。它不再仅仅是一个安静阅读的空间,而是一个充满活力、帮助人们重筑生活的中心。)”可知,文章讲述了图书馆员Sarah在酷暑期间发现图书馆不仅是阅读场所,更是社区避难所与互助中心,并由此开设职业角帮助他人重获生活希望的故事,所以C项The Library: More Than Just a Quiet Space(图书馆:不只是安静的读书的地方)符合语境。故选C项。
C
Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.
To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.
Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.
If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.
8. What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1?
A. They can only be heard in the deep ocean.
B. They are simple signals for daily communication.
C. They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.
D. They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. The importance of large language models.
B. The process of collecting whale recordings.
C. The role AI plays in studying whale codas.
D. The achievements in whale protection research.
10. What does the author say about Project CETI?
A. It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.
B. It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.
C. It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.
D. It may improve human understanding of animal language.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. AI: A Bridge to Sperm Whales’ Hidden Communication.
B. Sperm Whales: Creatures with Special Languages.
C. New Discoveries in Ocean Ecosystem Protection.
D. International Efforts to Study Ocean Animals.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员借助人工智能分析鲸类声音,并启动 CETI 项目,试图破解抹香鲸的交流系统,这一研究可能加深人类对动物语言与智力的理解。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery.(然而这些信号的真正含义长期以来一直是个谜)”可知,抹香鲸的尾音承载着有待解读的含义。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help.(为了解开这个长期存在的谜题,科学家们向人工智能寻求帮助)”以及后文对人工智能分析鲸音的介绍可知,本段主要介绍人工智能在研究抹香鲸尾音中所起的作用。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist beyond human beings.(如果项目成功,它将改变人类对动物智力的理解。它不仅可能揭示鲸鱼拥有复杂的交流系统,还能表明类似语言的结构并非人类独有)”可知,作者认为CETI项目可能提升人类对动物语言的理解。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段“By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.(通过将数千条鲸鱼的记录输入先进的计算机模型,科学家们已经开始检测出仅凭人类耳朵永远无法识别的模式。与大型语言模型学习人类语音模式的方式类似,人工智能系统可以分析大量的鲸鱼尾音,并识别其中的重复结构。在早期的实验中,这些系统能够预测尾音的类型,甚至能够以惊人的准确性识别哪只鲸鱼产生了尾音。)”可知,本文围绕借助人工智能破解抹香鲸的交流之谜展开,A项“人工智能:通往抹香鲸隐秘交流的桥梁”最能概括文章主旨,适合用作标题。故选A。
D
What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.
“Reflecting well” means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometers from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!
Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control.
What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles (柱子) or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.
12. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom?
A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence.
C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom.
13. What does “Reflecting well” in paragraph 2 primarily involve?
A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons.
C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions.
14. What else is important for true wisdom?
A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge.
C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control.
15. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author?
A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments.
C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了何为“聪明”,介绍了16世纪哲学家Michel de Montaigne对智慧的看法,阐释了智慧的内涵、获得智慧所需的能力,以及作者眼中聪明的人所具备的特质。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.(Michel de Montaigne认为,任何准备好并能够对自己的经历进行良好反思的人都能获得智慧)”可知,Montaigne认为智慧需要通过深刻的自我反思获得。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““Reflecting well” means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced.(“良好反思”不仅仅是考虑那些让你产生各种感受的事情,而是意味着理解这些事情可以被归结出的最根本要素)”可知,“良好反思”主要涉及发现根本要素。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control.(然而,智慧所需要的不仅仅是良好反思的能力。它要求能够调整自己的生活,充分利用自我认知,而这反过来又需要自律。智慧与理解我们能从短期的匮乏和不便中收获的最终回报密切相关。我今年学到的最好的教训之一就是,克制自己上网查看东西的冲动,让我摆脱了虚拟世界的严密控制)”可知,真正的智慧还需要强大的自制力。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I tend these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of ‘smart’ is able to include someone who often walks into poles (柱子) or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.(如今,我倾向于同意Michel de Montaigne的观点,即智慧最明确的标志是乐观。不知为何,我现在对‘聪明’的印象可以包含那些经常撞到柱子或被自己的脚绊倒的人,只要他们知道如何对此一笑置之)”可知,作者认为聪明的人的一个重要品质是对尴尬时刻保持乐观。

Nowadays, an increasing number of individuals struggle with insomnia (失眠) or difficulty in falling asleep, and feel uneasy about sleeplessness. That fear of not being able to sleep is a phenomenon called “sleep anxiety”. ____16____ Whether you face regular sleep stress or just the occasional troubled night, these practices can help.
Treat sleep trackers mindfully.
Sleep tracking devices and wearables, which can provide useful insights into your sleep quality, are widely popular. ____17____ This is because you may focus too much on the data from these devices instead of paying attention to your own actual feelings about sleep. Thus, it’s important to have a healthy level of skepticism when it comes to the data and a plan for what you will do with it.
Prioritize pre-sleep wind-down.
Never try to force yourself to go to bed at a specific time. ____18____ This gentle shift can take the form of unplugging from screens, putting on comfortable clothes and dimming the lights. Any of these can lessen the pressure of trying to fall asleep immediately.
____19____
Having a consistent wake-up time helps your body recognize when it’s time to get sleepy. A set wake-up time keeps your internal clock ticking on time. When you wake up, your sleep balloon is empty, which is then gradually filled with sleepiness throughout the day. Once it’s full, you feel ready to sleep.
Changing sleep-related habits is only part of the solution. ____20____ After all, everyone has restless nights sometimes.
A. Maintain a fixed daily morning rhythm.
B. Wake up early to keep energetic all day.
C. Indeed, they offer a full picture of your sleep.
D. Left untreated, it robs you of truly restful sleep.
E. You also need to embrace the natural variability of sleep.
F. Pick a time to switch from daytime to nighttime activities.

A. What; which B. That; which C. That; where D. What; where
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:同样导致我自我厌恶的是我偶尔的紧张,这削弱了我的自信心。第一空引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,表示“……的事情”,应用what引导;第二空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为my occasional nervousness,在从句中作主语,应用which引导。

第三节 单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
46. ________ (dedicate) himself to the teaching cause, Tom spends countless hours preparing lessons and guiding students. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Dedicating
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:汤姆全身心投入到教学事业中,花了无数的时间备课和指导学生。空处为非谓语动词, Tom与dedicate为主动关系,用现在分词作状语,首字母大写。故填Dedicating。
47. Proper ________ (expose) to new knowledge and experience helps us grow and broaden our horizons in life. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】exposure
【解析】
【详解】句意:正确地接触新知识和新体验,有助于我们成长,并拓宽人生视野。空处作主语,被Proper修饰,因此用名词exposure“接触”,是不可数名词。
48. Anyone who tries to cheat in the exam is bound ________ (punish) sooner or later. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be punished
【解析】
【详解】句意:任何企图在考试中作弊的人迟早一定会受到惩罚。“be bound to do sth”是固定搭配,意为“注定/一定会做某事”。句子主语Anyone和动词punish之间是被动关系,表示“被惩罚”,因此用不定式的被动结构。
49. The country prepared its army for the possible ________ (invade) from the neighbouring nation. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】invasion
【解析】
【详解】句意:该国整顿军队,防备邻国可能发起的入侵。空处作介词for的宾语,且被形容词possible修饰,提示词的名词形式invasion“入侵”符合题意,为不可数名词。
50. It was ________ she forgot the appointment that caused the trouble. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】句意:正是她忘记了约定才导致了麻烦。本句为强调句,结构是“It was+被强调部分+that+其余部分”,被强调部分是句子的主语,主语是一个从句,该从句结构完整不缺成分,因此用that引导主语从句。that不做句子成分,没有实在意义。
51. With the rapid development of AI, major changes in the job market are ________ the horizon. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】on
【解析】
【详解】句意:随着人工智能的飞速发展,就业市场的重大变革即将到来。on the horizon是固定搭配,意为“即将来临,在地平线上”,在句中作表语。
52. Since he was young, he ________ (imitate) various bird calls, and now he has become an expert at it. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has imitated
【解析】
【详解】句意:他从小就模仿各种鸟叫声,现在他已经成了这一方面的专家。根据时间状语“Since he was young”可知,此处表示动作从过去开始持续到现在,应用现在完成时,主语he为第三人称单数,助动词用has,imitate的过去分词是imitated。
53. The trapped miners looked around ________ (desperate), hoping to find someone who could rescue them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】desperately
【解析】
【详解】句意:被困矿工绝望地四处张望,希望能找到可以营救他们的人。设空处修饰动词looked around,需用副词作状语,desperate的副词形式为desperately。
54. The famous ________ (architecture) designed dozens of classical buildings that have become local landmarks. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】architect
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位知名建筑师设计了数十座现已成为当地地标的古典建筑。空处作主语,结合designed可知,指人的名词architect“建筑师”符合题意,特指某位著名的建筑师,architect用单数形式。
55. The ________ (fault) alarm clock didn’t go off this morning, causing me to miss my final exam. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】faulty
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天早上那个出故障的闹钟没有响,导致我错过了期末考试。根据空后名词短语alarm clock可知,此处需要形容词作定语修饰名词;提示词fault为名词,意为“错误”,其形容词形式为faulty,意为“有故障的,不完善的”。

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our car rolled onto the familiar road leading to Uncle Bob’s cottage. “Lucas, this summer break will be a fantastic opportunity for you to spend time with your uncle,” Dad said as he drove. However, with each mile we drove away from the city, my anxiety grew.
The car had barely stopped when Uncle Bob rushed out with open arms. I got out slowly. “Lucas, you look down. What’s wrong?” he asked, acting as if last summer’s accident had never happened. “I’m fine. I just miss my coding club. It’s where I excel,” I said. “That’s a real pity,” Uncle Bob nodded.
I used to love visiting Uncle Bob during breaks. He lived alone, and his neighbor Mrs. Green was like family. As I often visited Uncle Bob, I became good friends with Mrs. Green, and playing at her place was a favorite time. One afternoon last summer, I rushed into her house, not noticing the fine watch sitting dangerously on the edge of the table. Then came a big bang, and it ended up in a pile of broken pieces on the floor. I knew I’d done something wrong, but I slipped away without a word of apology.
Back at the cottage this summer, I was nervous. I was hurrying straight to my room when I saw Mrs. Green. She was walking fast towards Uncle Bob, shouting. “Bob, I need some help here!” Just then, she looked at me. I got ready for a scolding. However, to my surprise, she smiled warmly. “Lucas! How wonderful to see you! Your uncle says you’re really good at using computers.” I shook my head. “Sorry about the watch I broke,” I said with guilt. She let out a hearty laugh. “Oh, that old thing? Just forget it. Accidents are a part of life.”
I looked around and saw Mrs. Green’s garden filled with her wonderful handmade items. “I’m thinking of selling these things online. I’ve got a computer, but I’m clueless about setting up an online store,” she said. “Lucas, could you help me?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took a deep breath and said, “Sure! I’ll do my best.”

Within a few hours, orders for the handmade items began to come in, one after another.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I took a deep breath and said, “Sure! I’ll do my best.” Eager to make up for my past mistake, I immediately sat down in front of the computer and got down to work. I first sorted out photos of Mrs. Green’s delicate handmade items, edited them to look more attractive, and then registered an online store step by step. I also wrote detailed, warm introductions for each product patiently. All my anxiety faded away as I focused on the task, and I finally found a way to redeem my fault.
Within a few hours, orders for the handmade items began to come in, one after another. Mrs. Green was overjoyed and kept praising my professional skills. Seeing her bright smile, I felt immense relief and warmth in my heart. That summer, I no longer missed my coding club reluctantly. Instead, I gained precious happiness from helping others. I realized true excellence lies not only in personal skills but also in using one’s strengths to spread kindness and mend past regrets.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者Lucas因去年暑假不小心打碎了Mrs. Green的手表后心怀愧疚,今年暑假再去Uncle Bob的小屋时本想逃避,却被Mrs. Green请帮忙开设网上商店售卖手工制品。Lucas最终用自己擅长的电脑技能帮助了Mrs. Green,也因此化解了内心的愧疚,收获了真正的快乐与成长的故事。

Building with 3D printing technology is sparking widespread interest in the construction industry. Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building.
Instant Neighborhood
Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world.
Nested Housing
Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp(黄蜂)nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more.
Think Schools
African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week.
Concrete Steps
Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression(压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 percent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled.
1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing?
A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school
C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge.
2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused?
A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps.
C. Think School. D. Nested Housing.
3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common?
A. They use local materials. B. They are affordable to the homeless
C. They are high in cost. D. They make construction faster.
B
For Sarah, a librarian in a small town in Oregon, the library was never just a place for books. But it wasn’t until the record-breaking heatwave last summer that she realized its true potential as a “community living room.”
As temperatures climbed to dangerous levels, Sarah noticed an unusual influx of people. It wasn’t just the regular readers; it was elderly couples whose homes lacked air conditioning, exhausted delivery workers looking for a cool corner, and teenagers who usually spent their afternoons at the now-closed local park. The library, with its powerful cooling system and free Wi-Fi, became a sanctuary.
One afternoon, Sarah spotted a man named David sitting near the back, staring blankly at a computer screen. After a brief conversation, she learned that David had recently lost his job and, without a home internet connection, was struggling to apply for new positions. Seeing his frustration, Sarah didn’t just point him to a shelf. She spent her lunch breaks for the next week helping him polish his resume and navigating complex job portals.
“Libraries are the only places where you can exist without being expected to spend money,” Sarah observed. Inspired by the crisis, she started a “Career Corner” in the library, offering free printing services and weekly workshops. The initiative was a huge success, attracting local business owners who volunteered to conduct mock interviews.
Months later, David walked in, not to escape the heat, but to share the news that he had secured a technician job. He handed Sarah a small potted plant — a token of gratitude. For Sarah, the library had evolved. It was no longer just a quiet space for silence, but a dynamic hub where lives were rebuilt.
4. What did Sarah find out about the library during the heatwave?
A. It needed a more powerful cooling system. B. It could serve as a vital social center.
C. It attracted fewer readers than expected. D. It was too small for the growing influx.
5. What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A quiet research lab. B. A busy marketplace.
C. A historic monument. D. A safe shelter.
6. What can we infer about the “Career Corner” ?
A. It was initially a government project. B. It focused mainly on young teenagers.
C. It replaced the library’s traditional roles. D. It benefited from community support.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Sarah: A Librarian with a Green Thumb.
B. David’s Journey: From Heat to a New Job.
C. The Library: More Than Just a Quiet Space.
D. Public Services: How to Survive a Heatwave.

Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.
To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.
Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.
If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.
8. What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1?
A. They can only be heard in the deep ocean.
B. They are simple signals for daily communication.
C. They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.
D. They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. The importance of large language models.
B. The process of collecting whale recordings.
C. The role AI plays in studying whale codas.
D. The achievements in whale protection research.
10. What does the author say about Project CETI?
A. It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.
B. It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.
C. It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.
D. It may improve human understanding of animal language.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. AI: A Bridge to Sperm Whales’ Hidden Communication.
B. Sperm Whales: Creatures with Special Languages.
C. New Discoveries in Ocean Ecosystem Protection.
D. International Efforts to Study Ocean Animals.

What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.
“Reflecting well” means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometers from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!
Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control.
What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles (柱子) or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.
12. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom?
A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence.
C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom.
13. What does “Reflecting well” in paragraph 2 primarily involve?
A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons.
C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions.
14. What else is important for true wisdom?
A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge.
C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control.
15. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author?
A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments.
C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our car rolled onto the familiar road leading to Uncle Bob’s cottage. “Lucas, this summer break will be a fantastic opportunity for you to spend time with your uncle,” Dad said as he drove. However, with each mile we drove away from the city, my anxiety grew.
The car had barely stopped when Uncle Bob rushed out with open arms. I got out slowly. “Lucas, you look down. What’s wrong?” he asked, acting as if last summer’s accident had never happened. “I’m fine. I just miss my coding club. It’s where I excel,” I said. “That’s a real pity,” Uncle Bob nodded.
I used to love visiting Uncle Bob during breaks. He lived alone, and his neighbor Mrs. Green was like family. As I often visited Uncle Bob, I became good friends with Mrs. Green, and playing at her place was a favorite time. One afternoon last summer, I rushed into her house, not noticing the fine watch sitting dangerously on the edge of the table. Then came a big bang, and it ended up in a pile of broken pieces on the floor. I knew I’d done something wrong, but I slipped away without a word of apology.
Back at the cottage this summer, I was nervous. I was hurrying straight to my room when I saw Mrs. Green. She was walking fast towards Uncle Bob, shouting. “Bob, I need some help here!” Just then, she looked at me. I got ready for a scolding. However, to my surprise, she smiled warmly. “Lucas! How wonderful to see you! Your uncle says you’re really good at using computers.” I shook my head. “Sorry about the watch I broke,” I said with guilt. She let out a hearty laugh. “Oh, that old thing? Just forget it. Accidents are a part of life.”
I looked around and saw Mrs. Green’s garden filled with her wonderful handmade items. “I’m thinking of selling these things online. I’ve got a computer, but I’m clueless about setting up an online store,” she said. “Lucas, could you help me?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took a deep breath and said, “Sure! I’ll do my best.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for the handmade items began to come in, one after another.
