What do you hear? The sound of a flowing river? The soft voice of human chatter in a cafe? A soundscape is your aural(声音的)environment — everything you can hear around you, and researchers say the soundscape can influence your well-being. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as bird call and the sound of waves. The reality of human life in the 21st Century means that air travel, construction and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe. Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels, damaged mental function and higher risk of heart disease in humans, according to an article published by the UK Parliament called “The effects of artificial light and noise on human health”. Not only that, it can also affect the behavior and life cycles of species which rely on sound. So, what can be done? Urban design is one trick. In Barcelona in Spain, urban planners designed “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are for pedestrians(行人), creating space for people and wildlife that is free from sounds of cars and motorbikes. In a 2025 article published in BMC Public Health, people in these areas reported an improvement in well-being, quality of sleep and reduction in noise. Other techniques include tree buffers(缓冲), where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. In the Netherlands, they have created earth banks next to Schiphol airport to absorb noise from the runways and protect residents in the surrounding areas. And it turns out that they make excellent sound barriers, particularly if the trees are large, thick and evergreen. When we think about improving our environment, it’s likely that your mind jumps to reducing litter and air pollution. But reducing noise pollution is also important, to create a soundscape that works for everyone — people and wildlife. 1.What did soundscapes mainly consist of in the past? A. Traffic and construction noises. B. Agricultural noises in rural areas. C. Natural sounds like birdcall and waves. D. Sounds from cafes and human chatter. 2.What is the purpose of Barcelona’s “superblocks”? A. To protect historical buildings. B. To increase green spaces in cities. C. To promote the use of public transport. D. To separate pedestrians from traffic noise. 3.Why are evergreen trees used as sound barriers? A. They provide habitats for urban wildlife. B. They can take in large amounts of sound. C. They are more attractive than other plants. D. They grow quickly and are easy to maintain. 4.What can we infer about noise pollution from the last paragraph? A. It greatly disturbs people’s mind peace. B. It is the key to environmental improvement. C. It is often ignored in environmental protection. D. It affects the environment more than air pollution. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍声景的构成变化、噪音污染危害及缓解噪音污染的方法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In times gone by, soundscapes would’ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcall and the sound of waves.(在过去，声景由自然之声构成，例如鸟鸣声和海浪声。)”可知，过去声景主要由鸟鸣、海浪等自然声音构成。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In Barcelona in Spain, urban planners designed “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are for pedestrians(行人), creating space for people and wildlife that is free from sounds of cars and motorbikes.(在西班牙的巴塞罗那，城市规划者设计了“超级街区”，车辆在大片建筑群外围行驶，内部街道供行人使用，为人类和野生动物打造了一个没有汽车和摩托车噪音的空间。)”可知，巴塞罗那“超级街区”的设计目的是将行人和交通噪音隔离开。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Other techniques include tree buffers(缓冲), where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy.(其他方法包括树木缓冲带——在城市中种植树木以吸收声能。)”及“And it turns out that they make excellent sound barriers, particularly if the trees are large, thick and evergreen.(事实证明，它们是绝佳的隔音屏障，尤其是高大、茂密的常绿树。)”可知，常绿树被用作隔音屏障是因为它们能吸收大量声音。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When we think about improving our environment, it’s likely that your mind jumps to reducing litter and air pollution. But reducing noise pollution is also important, to create a soundscape that works for everyone—people and wildlife.(当我们想到改善环境时，大脑很可能会立刻想到减少垃圾和空气污染。但减少噪音污染也同样重要，以便打造一个对人类和野生动物都有益的声景。)”可知，人们在关注环境保护时，常首先想到减少垃圾和空气污染，而噪音污染常被忽略。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·甘肃武威凉州·期中）Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week-long school vacation in the United States.

Look for work in the places you visit. ●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities. ●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you don’t like the food. ●Use the Internet: The net can help to save money.

All hotels have been independently reviewed by our expert staff. A Taste of Alaska cottage (小屋) A Taste of Alaska cottage has a good location: close enough to Fairbanks for exploring and to view the Northern Lights. It began in 1947 as a family home and has developed over the years into an enjoyable place where family atmosphere runs deep. Price: £173 per person per night Talkeetna Alaskan cottage There is the look and feel of a classic mountainside cottage — an Alaska brown bear specimen (标本) with about 2,000 pounds shares the lobby (大厅) with a huge river rock fireplace, which is especially attractive. On a clear day the views of the Denali, the highest mountain in North America, and neighbouring mountains provide the picture visitors come from around the world to take. Price: £114 per person per night Chena Hot Springs Hotel Set in the Alaskan wilderness, Chena Hot Springs Hotel offers days spent in a warm coat, enjoying drinks at a bar made of ice, or relaxing in natural hot springs. And at nightfall, if Mother Nature permits, it’s the Northern Lights that will make you feel like you’re somewhere out of this world.

Kenai Fjords National Park is within easy reach, and stations for scenic tours of the Park are less than a 10-minute drive away. A rental car is recommended.

The soft voice of human chatter in a cafe? A soundscape is your aural(声音的)environment — everything you can hear around you, and researchers say the soundscape can influence your well-being. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as bird call and the sound of waves. The reality of human life in the 21st Century means that air travel, construction and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe. Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels, damaged mental function and higher risk of heart disease in humans, according to an article published by the UK Parliament called “The effects of artificial light and noise on human health”. Not only that, it can also affect the behavior and life cycles of species which rely on sound. So, what can be done? Urban design is one trick. In Barcelona in Spain, urban planners designed “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are for pedestrians(行人), creating space for people and wildlife that is free from sounds of cars and motorbikes. In a 2025 article published in BMC Public Health, people in these areas reported an improvement in well-being, quality of sleep and reduction in noise. Other techniques include tree buffers(缓冲), where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. In the Netherlands, they have created earth banks next to Schiphol airport to absorb noise from the runways and protect residents in the surrounding areas. And it turns out that they make excellent sound barriers, particularly if the trees are large, thick and evergreen. When we think about improving our environment, it’s likely that your mind jumps to reducing litter and air pollution. But reducing noise pollution is also important, to create a soundscape that works for everyone — people and wildlife. 1.What did soundscapes mainly consist of in the past? A. Traffic and construction noises. B. Agricultural noises in rural areas. C. Natural sounds like birdcall and waves. D. Sounds from cafes and human chatter. 2.What is the purpose of Barcelona’s “superblocks”? A. To protect historical buildings. B. To increase green spaces in cities. C. To promote the use of public transport. D. To separate pedestrians from traffic noise. 3.Why are evergreen trees used as sound barriers? A. They provide habitats for urban wildlife. B. They can take in large amounts of sound. C. They are more attractive than other plants. D. They grow quickly and are easy to maintain. 4.What can we infer about noise pollution from the last paragraph? A. It greatly disturbs people’s mind peace. B. It is the key to environmental improvement. C. It is often ignored in environmental protection. D. It affects the environment more than air pollution. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·甘肃武威凉州·期中）Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions. ●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there. ●Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several weeks to get ready can mean security and savings. ●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants. ●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything. ●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences. ●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit. ●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities. ●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you don’t like the food. ●Use the Internet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.bargain.com and www.traveling.com. By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime. 1.What is the first thing you should do before your trip? A. Save money by spending less. B. Get information online. C. Make a plan about the routes. D. Buy tickets in advance. 2.Which of the following advice is not mentioned through this passage? A. Control your desire to spend money. B. Go with a tour team. C.
