2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom has designed a new green roof on the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, about 25 miles north of central Bangkok, Thailand. Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet, whether flooding, excess(过度的) energy use, disrupted biodiversity or the heat island effect.
The 236,806-square-foot structure, which opened in December 2019, includes a flood water management system and Asia's largest rooftop organic farm. It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge, creating a green and friendly environment.
The green roof, containing an H-shaped landscape, looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it. The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces(之字形梯田) of planted beds, leading all the way down to the bottom. When rainwater hits the roof, it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds. The excess water is directed into four storage ponds—with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons. The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop. This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.
The roof's terraces are filled with organically grown crops, including a drought tolerant variety of rice, many local vegetables and herbs. The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice, herbs and vegetables a year. The food waste is composted (把……制成堆肥) to make the soil of the farm richer, and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants, creating an entirely localized and circular system.
The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs, too. Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university's sustainability course. "Students and community members are invited to participate in seasonal seeding, harvesting, and soon," says Voraakhom. "The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills. It also promotes a sense of community."
(1)、What can we say about Voraakhom's work?A、It's creative. B、It's demanding. C、It's short-lived. D、It's energy-consuming.(2)、Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzag?A、To look more distinctive. B、To increase water storage. C、To plant diverse vegetables. D、To decline the flow rate of water.(3)、What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4?A、It features recycling. B、It improves students' lifestyle. C、It develops the most healthy crops. D、It has better outputs than other farms.(4)、Why does the author talk about the outdoor classroom?A、To complain about the poor employment. B、To encourage innovation in local communities. C、To show the possibility for farmers to become professors. D、To speak favorably of the students' access to hands-on knowledge. -
3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens(镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.
He says what changed his perception(看法) of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (患白化病的) girl."I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my original intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider."
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. "I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, like, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition."
Guidotti is travelling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money; it's about the message. "As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering(给某人……的权力) individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change—how you see, how you change."
(1)、Why did Guidotti change his career?A、He intended to establish his own company. B、He expected to earn more money than before. C、The beauty on covers of magazines is beyond satisfaction. D、The meeting with an albino girl changed his view on beauty.(2)、What can we know about Positive Exposure?A、It enjoys high profit. B、It welcomes differences. C、It spreads photography skills. D、It enhances community bond.(3)、What does the author want to show by mentioning Jayne in paragraph 4?A、Jayne was beautiful indeed. B、Jayne disliked being photographed. C、The film became a hit thanks to Jayne. D、The photographs made Jayne more confident.(4)、What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A、Beauty comes from life. B、Attitude affects behavior. C、Travel enriches experience. D、Communities influence individuals. -

Go Sledding (滑雪橇) around Baltimore
From steep slopes(陡坡) to gentle hills, there's no shortage of local sledding rides in the Baltimore area. Here are a few of the favorites.
Leakin Park
1901 EAGLE DRIVE
There's a sweet slide behind the Crimean Mansion off Eagle Drive—also known today as Friends of Orianda House—which is accessible and also one of the best-kept sledding secrets inside city lines. The Winans Meadow area is super scenic year-round, but especially so when it snows.

Herring Run Park
3800 BELAIR ROAD
The 375-acre northeast area may be the top spot in the city for the variety of hills to choose from.

15、 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。
When danger is coming, firefighters are heroes who put their lives at risk to keep everyone safe. But in calmer moments, they can also go the extra mile for someone with something so simple yet impactful.
Many fall in love with firefighting as a child by riding a truck and visiting a fire station. Whether he does or doesn't grow up to become a firefighter, he will know he is loved and accepted the way he is. This is especially heartwarming when children are at the receiving end of firefighters' kindness.
Now, one firefighter went out of his way to make sure that a kid didn't feel left out when his team spent a day with some children from a kindergarten.
These children spent the day in getting a close look at the fire station and the work of firefighters. First, led by firefighters, they paid a visit to the fire station, which made them feel excited. Later, in order to make the children have a more real experience, the station decided to let the young tourists wear red fireman helmets(头盔).
When they wore the red fireman helmets, everyone was so delighted and cheers broke out. But one child was standing with low spirits and didn't wear a red helmet. It seemed that the child wasn't welcome, which may influence the child's confidence. That made the firefighters surprised.
"One child didn't wear a red fireman helmet. No enough helmets?" One of the firefighters asked the children's teacher.
"No. Well, his hair was in a high ponytail(马尾辫), preventing him from putting his helmet on. And he likes the high ponytail very much and doesn't want to break it," the teacher replied.
"I see. Maybe we can do something, can we mark the width of the child's ponytail and cut a hole in the tiny helmet to make sure his hair fit s through the hole?" the firefighter said.
Hearing that, the teacher thought it was a good idea.
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。
With the help of the teacher, the firefighter started carrying out his plan.

19、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are reasonable dependencies that are healthy for an individual's development. However, other dependencies bring unhappiness. In this article, we're going to be talking about some of them.
Other people's opinions
Depending on other people's opinions means letting your behavior, likes and desires be determined by the approval of those that surround you, As a result of this, you guide your life projects, dreams, and behavior according to what others may think.
Fashion
Few are able to tell apart their own tastes and style from the current fashion trends. Now, we're not only talking about clothing or accessories here but about general preferences and even philosophies. That desire to hop on a train and be part of the majority sometimes leads to dependency. Some become truly concerned about not being "in style".
Physical appearance
As a result, they end up believing that their worth as human beings is defined by the way they look. We can't lie; beauty opens doors to some individuals. Also, it makes it easier for some to climb to the top. However, it doesn't serve much beyond that initial chapter.
Money
When the individual begins associating their personal value with the amount of money they have, it becomes a problem. Relying on money sometimes means believing that happiness equals consumption. To those who think this way, not having money is equivalent to losing everything, including themselves.
A. It is associated with a deep dependency.
B. Having money is vital to everyone's life.
C. These don't contribute to your well-being.
D. Therefore, their own sense of identity is lost.
E. Some people take this too seriously to the point of addiction.
F. Supposing that your value depends on your wealth is the key to unhappiness.
G. You don't really focus on believing yourself but getting acceptance from others.

20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A team in Europe are working with wood, but not in the usual ways. They are not carpenters(木匠). Instead, they are scientists exploring how wood can lead to a greener electronic device, a transistor(晶体管)made from balsa wood, whose production releases less climate-warming gas into the air.
Transistors play an important role in computers and other devices. They act like tiny switches to control the flow of electricity. Engineers use them to process and store data. Today's laptops may host billions of them. So they must be tiny—only a little wider than a strand of DNA.
The new transistor being built by physicist Isak Engquist and his team at Sweden's Linköping University isn't as small as those. Big enough to see and hold, it can stand only an electric pressure that pushes electrons along. And it controls a current using charged particles(粒子)called ions.
This new technology shows a "proof of concept" that the idea can work, even if the new device is not yet ready to put into today's electronics. "While it seems large by today's standards, such a transistor still might prove useful for electronics that require low electric pressures," says Engquist.
"The new transistor suggests that future electronic devices might be made in living plants," Daniel Simon, a physicist in the team, says. "Imagine peeling away some bar k from a living tree," he says, "and stamping electronic circuits into the living wood."
In fact, Engquist says, "There are so many ways we can use wood and the components of wood that we would never have thought of." For instance, he can now imagine a wood-based sensor that could monitor crop health, measure pollution or survey a forest for fire risk.
(1)、Which can best describe the transistor?A、Costly. B、Widely used. C、Time-saving. D、More environmentally friendly.(2)、What is the new transistor's disadvantage compared to common transistors?A、It is much bigger. B、It can't stand electric pressure. C、It can't be seen. D、It is made from metal.(3)、What is Engquist's attitude to the new transistor's future?A、Uncertain. B、Doubtful. C、Positive. D、Indifferent.(4)、What may be the best title for the text?A、Wood's surprising roles in modern electronic design B、Wood-made transistors: a step toward greener electronics C、Scientists are researching the history of transistors D、Scientists are working as carpenters to invent transistors
