一、阅读理解
Passage 1
When we think of cities,we often imagine skyscrapers,bustling streets,and endless traffic.However,a
new trend is emerging in urban planning:the creation of "15-minute cities."This concept,
championed by Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo,proposes that residents should be able to meet most of their
daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes.
The idea is to decentralize urban life.Instead of long commutes to work,school,or shopping centers,
each neighborhood would be a self-contained hub.Essential services like grocery stores,pharmacies,
parks,doctor's offices,and even workplaces would be distributed evenly.This reduces reliance on
cars,lowers carbon emissions,and reclaims public space from traffic.
Proponents argue that 15-minute cities foster a stronger sense of community.When people spend less
time commuting,they have more time for local interactions.Parks become social centers,and local
businesses thive.Furthermore,this model improves physical and mental health by encouraging
walking and cycling.During the COVID-19 pandemic,the concept gained traction as people valued
local amenities more than ever.
However,critics point to potential downsides.They wory that it could lead to "gentification,"where
improved local amenities drive up property prices,pushing out lower-income residents.Others argue
it's unrealistic for large,sprawling cities like Los Angeles or Houston,which were built around car
travel.Implementing such a plan requires massive investment in infrastructure and a fundamental shift
in how cities are zoned.
Despite these challenges,the 15-minute city is more than just a passing fad.It represents a fundamental
rethinking of our relationship with urban space.By prioritizing people over cars and local over global,
it offers a vision for more sustainable,equitable,and livable communities.Several cities worldwide,
from Portland to Melboume,are now experimenting with variations of this model.
()1.What is the primary characteristic of a "15-minute city?
A.Skyscrapers dominate the skyline.
B.All services are within a short distance from home.
C.Cars are completely banned from city centers.
D.Residents must commute long distances for work
()2.What is one of the main benefits of the 15-minute city model mentioned in the text?
A.It increases property values in all neighborhoods.
B.It encourages a stronger sense of community.
C.It makes cities more dependent on car travel.
D.It centralizes all services in one location.
()3.The word "traction"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:
A.support
B.resistance
C.confusion
D.conflict
()4.What is the main concern of critics regarding the 15-minute city?
A.It is too expensive to implement.
B.It may make social inequality worse.
C.It is ineffective during a pandemic.
D.It would make cities too crowded.
()5.What is the author's overall attitude towards the 15-minute city?
A.Strongly opposed
B.Completely indifferent
C.Skeptical but curious
D.Largely positive with some reservations
Passage 2
High in the Himalayas,on the border between Tibet and Nepal,stands Mount Everest,the world's
tallest peak.For decades,it has been the ultimate challenge for mountaineers,a symbol of human
endurance against nature.However,the mountain is now facing a crisis of a different kind:waste.
The dramatic increase in the number of climbers in recent years has tumned Everest into the world's
highest garbage dump.Discarded oxygen bottles,tom tents,food wrappers,and even human waste
litter the slopes of the so-called "Death Zoneabove 8,000 meters.An estimated three tons of garbage
was left on the mountain in 2019 alone.This not only spoils the pristine beauty of the landscape but
also poses a serious environmental threat to the local ecosystem.
In response,the Nepalese government has implemented strict new rules.Since 2014,climbers have
been required to bring back 8 kilograms of garbage per person,in addition to their own.They must
also pay a $4,000 deposit,which is refunded only upon proving they have returned with the required
amount of waste.Furthermore,a clean-up team,composed of experienced Sherpas and soldiers,climbs
the mountain each year to remove the accumulated trash.
These measures have had some success.In recent years,clean-up expeditions have removed over 30
tons of garbage from the mountain.However,the problem is far from solved.The harsh conditions
make it extremely dangerous and difficult to remove waste from the highest altitudes.Critics argue that
the 8-kilo rule is insufficient and that high-altitude garbage remains a major issue.
The solution,experts say,lies not just in cleaning up,but in prevention.Stricter regulations on the
number of climbing permits issued each year could reduce the volume of waste.Educating climbers
about the "Leave No Trace"principle is also crucial.Ultimately,preserving Everest's majesty
requires a collective effort from governments,expedition companies,and every individual who dreams
of standing on top of the world.
()1.What is the main problem facing Mount Everest according to the passage?
A.The cost of climbing permits is too high.
B.The mountain is becoming too polluted with waste.
C.The number of Sherpas is insufficient.
D.The weather conditions are becoming more dangerous.
()2.Which of the following is a measure taken by the Nepalese government?
A.Banning all climbing expeditions.
B.Requiring climbers to cary a GPS tracker.
C.Charging a refundable deposit for waste removal.
D.Using helicopters to remove all garbage
()3.What is a significant limitation of the clean-up efforts mentioned in the text?
A.The clean-up teams are not well-trained
B.It is very hard to remove trash from the highest areas.
C.The government does not fund the clean-up projects
D.Climbers refuse to participate in clean-up activities.
()4.What is the most effective long-term solution to the problem,according to experts?
A.Increasing the amount of deposit climbers must pay
B.Sending more clean-up teams to the mountain each year.
C.Reducing the number of people allowed to climb
D.Using biodegradable materials for all climbing gear.
()5.The author's purpose in writing this article is most likely to:
A.discourage people from climbing Mount Everest
B.promote a new climbing route on the mountain.
C.inform readers about a serious environmental issue.
D.compare the Everest policies of Nepal and China.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions in complete sentences.
The city of Petra,Jordan,is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites,known for its rock-
cut architecture and water conduit system.Another equally remarkable,yet less celebrated,wonder is
the Great Mosque of Djenne in Mali.This structure is the largest mud-brick building in the world and a
testament to the unique architectural style of the Sahel region,a semi-arid region south of the Sahara
Desert.
The mosque's history dates back to the 13th century,but the current structure was rebuilt in 1907.Its
most stiking feature is its smooth,adobe (mud-brick)surface,punctuated by bundles of rodier palm
sticks that serve as scaffolding for annual repairs.These protruding sticks also give the building a
distinct,almost porcupine-like appearance.The mosque's three large minarets,each topped with an
ostrich egg,are iconic elements of the skyline.
What makes this building truly special is the annual festival known as the "Crepissage"(Plastering)
Every spring,the entire community of Djenne comes together to repair the mosque after the damage
caused by the harsh rainy season.This is not just a practical necessity but a vibrant social event.Men
mix the mud plaster,while women bring water from the river.Young men climb the scaffolding and
apply a fresh layer of mud to the walls,chanting and celebrating.
During the colonial period in the early 20th century,French authorities had the mosque closed for
political reasons.It remained off-limits to the public for years,which actually helped preserve its
original character.Today,it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a powerful symbol of faith,
community,and resilience.For the people of Djenne,the mosque is far more than a place of worship;it
is the heart of their identity,rebuilt every single year by their own hands.
1.What is the primary material used to build the Great Mosque of Djenne?
2.Why do protruding palm sticks feature on the mosque's walls?
3.What is the name of the annual festival where the community repairs the mosque?
4.Why did the mosque remain closed to the public for several years?
5.How does the Great Mosque of Djenne differ from the city of Petra in terms of its significance to the
local people?

Dear Chris,
It was great to hear from you and to leamn about your love for London.
My favorite city in China is Xi'an,the capital of Shaanxi Province.Known as the starting point of the
ancient Silk Road,it's a place where history truly comes alive.What fascinates me most is the Terracotta
Army,an amazing collection of thousands of life-sized clay soldiers built to guard the tomb of the first
Chinese emperor.Apart from that,the ancient city wall,which has been standing for over 600 years,
offers a peaceful escape from the modern city.The local food is also incredible,especially the famous
"Biangbiang"noodles.
I sincerely hope you can visit China one day.I would be more than happy to be your guide and show you
around Xi'an.I'm sure you would be amazed by its rich culture and history.
Yours,
Li Hua
