A skywell,or“tian jing”,is a typical feature(特色)of a traditional home in southern and eastern China,which can date back to Ming and Qing skywell dynasties.A skywell is almost always in the center of a house.It is enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall.It acts as a transitional (space between indoor life and the outdoor environment. Skywells were designed to cool buildings.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.As the cool outdoor air travels down the walls to the lower storeys,it replaces warmer indoor air,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. Even when there is no natural wind,air circulation (still takes place,because the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the skywell.Moreover,another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation (of water.People collect rainwater in their skywells,and when the water evaporates,it cools hot air. Today,although fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses,some designers take a new interest in the traditional Chinese buildings.They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler.One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,which was completed in 2022.The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle,from the fifth to the top floor.The lifts,toilets and meeting rooms are all set around the skywell,which helps improve the lighting and air circulation of the building and cut the overall use of energy. Although ancient "green wisdom"like skywells has caught more attention of modern Chinese people,there are some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs.For one thing,traditional skywells highly depend on their natural conditions,like how much sunlight or rainfall in the area,so adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to fully consider their projects'situations.Meanwhile,lighting,air conditioning and water supply have become so convenient that we depend on them with little care about the environmental cost.So it won't 第5页共10页 be easy to be green by learning from the past without considering our present behaviours. 27.What do we know about skywells? A.Skywells are typical in western China. B.Skywells are enclosed by glass on four sides C.Natural wind is kept out of the house by skywells D.Water evaporation in skywells takes the heat away. 28.Why does the writer mention the 18-storey glass-walled tower block in Paragraph 4? A.To show that skywell design can be creatively used in modern buildings. B.To prove that modern skywells are different from the traditional ones. C.To present how glass walls can improve the lighting of buildings. D.To explain why fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses. 29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Skywells:A Traditional Design to Be Protected B.Skywells:Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times C.Skywells:A Green Structure to Be Improved D.Skywells:Modern Technology for City Lives D In the face of all kinds of changes in nature and life,our survival and development have been closely tied to our complexity.An idea called self-complexity refers to people's thoughts about their different roles.It is the key to a strong and lasting identity (the sense of self)which can help us go through unexpected changes we all face. With self-complexity,people have developed various parts to their identities.For example, imagine a woman who sees herself as student,wife,daughter,and tennis player and who has a wide variety of life experiences.Social scientists would say that she has high self-complexity. On the other hand,a man who regards himself only as a student or only as a member of the hockey team and who has limited life experiences would be said to have low self-complexity. For those with high self-complexity,the various parts of the self are separate.This means the 第6页共10页 positive and negative thoughts about a certain part of the self won't affect (thoughts about other parts. A large body of research shows that if you depend too much on any one part of the self,you will become fragile.When one's identity connects too closely with the only one part that he cares deeply,then one will easily get stressed and burnt out when unexpected changes appear. This is especially true for an athlete during periods of change when his main-and all too often, only-sense of identity feels at risk.Yet while it may be heightened for athletes,it's a pattern that holds true in all walks of life:if you want to be excellent and experience something fully, then you've got to go all in,but only to a point.If your identity becomes too involved in any one part,then you are likely to suffer when things change. So what you need to do is challenge yourself to put the various parts of your identity into a whole.This allows you to emphasize (and deemphasize certain parts of your identity at different periods of time.The result is a fluid(流s动的)sense of self. Developing a fluid sense of self doesn't mean you can be careless or just do things without effort.Caring deeply about the people,activities,and projects you love is undoubtedly the key to a rich and meaningful life.The problem is not caring deeply;it is when your identity is too closely fixed to any single goal. 30.Which most probably shows you have high self-complexity? A.You complete your science project with music on. B.You turn to the people around you when in trouble. C.You make an effort to improve English through practice. D.You keep a balance between schoolwork and sports training 31.The word fragile"in Paragraph 3 probably means" A.cold B.lazy C.weak D.careless 32.What can we learn from the passage? A.Most people get stressed out more easily than athletes. B.A strong identity comes from going all in for a single goal. C.Doing well in one area betters other parts of a person's identity D.Developing a fluid sense of self helps deal with unexpected changes. 第7页共10页 33.What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To introduce different ways to face challenges. B.To stress the importance of trying hard in one area. C.To remind us to care about various parts of the self. D.To discuss the meaning of a strong and lasting identity. 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题.（共10分，第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分） At-home Farming in Cities Farming used to be an attraction in the countryside.But nowadays,farms can even be found high up on balconies (in cities.According to a recent report,sales of vegetable seeds,soil,and gardening tools have doubled compared with the same period last year.Among the people buying them, most were born after 1995.
