【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念,并以新加坡为例证明了城市发展和环境保护可以共存。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.”可推知,在第二段中作者打算解释一个概念。故选A项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature—nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,’ says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. ‘There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,’ Beatley says.”可知,从第三段比特利的话中我们可以推断出自然应该是城市规划的一个关键因素。故选D项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy…”可知,纽曼的电影主要关注的是新加坡如何平衡经济和环境。故选D项。
4.B 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“‘Singapore has now officially changed its motto from “Singapore, Garden City” to “Singapore, a City in a Garden”,’ says Beatley.”可知,本文主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念:在城市规划和设计中,最大程度地把自然融入到居民的日常生活中。故文章最好的标题是“把城市变成花园”。故选B项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了处理大气中二氧化碳的几项研究和措施。
5.A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“That’s as much CO2 as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.”可知,这些数字表明人类向大自然排放了大量的二氧化碳,目的是表明处理二氧化碳的必要性。故选A。
6.C 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中“In sending CO2 deep beneath the surface of the planet…”以及“…the digging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels.”可知,之前人类在地下挖掘大量的碳作为化石燃料,现在Edda Aradóttir致力于将二氧化碳排放到地球表面之下。这是相反的事情,因此,reverse意为“颠倒,翻转”。故选C。
7.D 段落大意题。根据文章第三段“Aradóttir shows how CO2 caught from the air is mixed with water, and then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-coloured spots in the rock below.”可知,第三段的主要内容是对Aradóttir的系统的解释。故选D。
8.D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day.”可知,作者认为碳去除项目是有前途的、有希望的。故选D。

A [2026·辽宁大连高二期中]
If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon—there’s a growing movement emerging globally.
A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.
“We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature—nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change—a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.”
Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called Singapore: Biophilic City.
Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings.
“Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.
( )1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.To explain a concept.
B.To put forward an idea.
C.To provide an example.
D.To introduce a general rule.
( )2.What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3?
A.Parks in cities need to be renewed.
B.Biophilic cities face many problems.
C.It is difficult to imagine a city as a park.
D.Nature should be a key factor in city planning.
( )3.What does Newman’s film mainly focus on?
A.The unforgettable experience in Singapore.
B.The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore.
C.Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city.
D.How Singapore balances the economy and the environment.
( )4.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Singapore: a garden city
B.Turning cities into gardens
C.The future of biophilic cities
D.Nature: a solution to climate change
B
Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO2 as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.
On a lonely, lunar-like valley of Iceland, Edda Aradóttir is on a mission to put CO2 back where it came from. She’s returning a tiny bit of it today but much, much more of it in the years ahead. In sending CO2 deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most challenging acts of human history: the digging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels.
Aradóttir shows how CO2 caught from the air is mixed with water, and then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-coloured spots in the rock below.
Scientists like Aradóttir are working on ambitious projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical trees”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO2. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. In Zürich, a Uruguayan inventor presents a small bottle of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air. That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day.
( )5.What purpose do the figures in Paragraph 1 serve?
A.To show the necessity of removing carbon dioxide.
B.To inspire readers’ interest in environmental protection.
C.To highlight the number of cars existing in the world today.
D.To explain a commonly accepted reason for global warming.
( )6.The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.
A.criticize B.conduct
C.overturn D.approve
( )7.What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A.Aradóttir’s daily routine.
B.Aradóttir’s field of study.
C.The cost of Aradóttir’s project.
D.The explanation of Aradóttir’s system.
( )8.What does the author think of the carbon removal projects?
A.Educational. B.Expensive.
C.Efficient. D.Promising.
