Africa is the home of many rich cultures, which breeds many creative thinkers and designers.
On March 15, the Pritzker Prize, the highest honor in the field of architecture, was given to architect Diebedo Francis Kere. He is the first African to win the honor in its more than 40-year history.
The Burkina Faso-born architect has had his works, both temporary and permanent, built in his
home nation, as well as across North America and Europe. Kere’s “pioneering” designs are “sustainable for Earth and its inhabitants--in lands of extreme scarcity”, said Tom Prtzker, chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the award, in a statement.
Kere was inspired to explore the world of architecture after studying at a school with poor
facilities as a child. This motivated him to make a difference for the next generation. His dream became a reality in 2001, when he designed his first -- ever building -- a primary school in his home village of Gando.
“Architecture is an instrument we can use to create better cities, to create space to inspire
people, to create classrooms which inspire the best generation.” he told the BBC.
Never shying away from an opportunity to have a greater positive impact on society, he has
also designed other public service facilities, such as the Center for Health and Social Welfare in Burkina Faso’s Opera Village, where locals can study and recover in comfort.
His designs draw much inspiration from the traditional styles of architecture in his home
country. The designs exhibit the usage of an earthy color palette (主色调)，with wooden sticks and walls full of windows helping to fully incorporate light into his work. His buildings clearly display traditional influences as well appearing minimalistic (简约的) and modern.
“A poetic expression of light is consistent throughout Kere’s works. Rays of sun filter into
buildings ... overcoming harsh midday conditions to offer places of serenity (宁静) or gathering.” said the Pritzker Prize committee.
24. Why does Kere make Africa glorious?
A. Because Africa breeds many creative thinkers and designers.
B. Because Kere is one of the most famous architects in Africa and the world.
C. Because his works are both temporary and permanent in his country and Europe.
D. Because he is the first African to win the honor in its more than 40-year history.
25. What kind of the person is Kere according to paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Creative and kind. B. Kind and generous.
C. Helpful and friendly. D. Lonely and motivated.
26. Which statement about architecture does Kere agree with?
A. Architecture is a tool to encourage people better.
B. Architecture is used to create classrooms.
C. Architecture is an opportunity to make better future.
D. Architecture is an instrument to make money.

27. Which of the following can conclude Kere’s design style?
A. Fashion is a trend and a mood.
B. Learn to drive fashion, not be driven by fashion.
C. Fashion is to follow the trend, and style is to be yourself.
D. Fashion enriches our life; tradition upholds our spiritual world.
C
Some of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan (寿命) by up to two years, and the more often you read, the better.
Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and
that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives. In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.
One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population.
The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.
Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social
networks; they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They can easily navigate the health care system; they have more social support.
Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional
intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.
28. What conclusion did economists in 1975 draw?
A. People need high-quality food to keep healthy.
B. Medical care costs more money than food.
C. Most old people have the habit of reading.
D. Wealthy people tend to live longer.
29. What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Speeds up. B. Turns back.
C. Slows down. D. Contributes to.
30. What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?
A. They are more connected to the society.
B. They can set up their own health care system.
C. They learn more about human body and medical care.
D. They are skilled in doing research through social networks.

31. What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?
A. It can help people understand humans’ brain better.
B. It is beneficial to people’s EQ and brain health.
C. It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.
D. It is effective against cancer.
D
For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests the dolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have been showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.
As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers,
the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with
their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the
animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time, Cantor says. “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”
Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing
fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.
The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over
the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if
Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”
32. How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fish?
A. By constantly attacking fish. B. By making strange voices.
C. By pulling the nets. D. By using body languages.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Introduce a new topic.
B. Provide useful suggestions for the readers.
C. Introduce the current problems of the practice.
D. Raise people’s awareness of protecting dolphins.
34. What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in Laguna?
A. It has disappeared. B. It develops friendly.
C. It needs to be protected. D. It becomes a cultural heritage.

35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Humans live harmonious with dolphins.
B. Humans and dolphins team up to catch fish.
C. Humans were taught to catch fish by dolphins.
D. Humans in Brazil rely on the dolphins for fishing.

The Sahara Desert Location
Filling nearly all of northern Africa, the Sahara Desert measures approximately 3, 000 miles
from east to west and between 800 and 1, 200 miles from north to south. 36 The Sahara
Desert is bordered in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, in the east by the Red Sea, and in the south by the Sahel.
Landscape
The Sahara Desert features iconic sand dune (沙丘) fields, which cover about 15 percent of the
entire desert’s surface and lie primarily in the north-central region. 37 A few examples
include crescent (新月形的) dunes, linear dunes, transverse dunes and star dunes. These dunes, with their various forms, raise many questions about the dynamics of their formation.
Water
38 Its age-old rivers are the Nile and the Niger. The Nile rises south of the Sahara and
empties into the Mediterranean. The Niger rises southwest of the Sahara and flows northeastward
into Mali. 39 It is the expansive but shallow Lake Chad, a body of water that lies at the
southernmost edge of the Sahara. Other lakes hold a salty stew of undrinkable water.
Climate
Across the Sahara Desert, the annual average rainfall equals no more than a few inches or fewer.
In the summer, daytime air temperatures often soar to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with the hottest air temperature meteorologists have ever recorded — 136 degrees — occurring at EL Azizia, Libya,
on September 13, 1922. 40 In the winter, freezing temperatures may occur in the northern
Sahara Desert, and milder temperatures across the southern Sahara Desert. Snow may fall occasionally in some of the higher mountain ranges and rarely, on the desert floor.
A. No rain at all may fall for several more years.
B. It has a total area of some 3,320,000 square miles.
C. The dunes usually take on varied and complex forms.
D. Star dunes form under winds that blow from several directions.
E. The Sahara Desert has some lakes, but only one with drinkable water.
F. The Sahara Desert has only two permanent rivers and a handful of lakes.
G. Under the clear skies, the temperature may fall 40 degrees or more during an evening.

When was the last time you visited a museum in which almost every collection could be
touched? American lawyer Mitch Dudek built a private museum 56 visitors can have direct
contact with all the exhibits 57 display in the ancient city of Suzhou.
The museum 58 (name) Six Arts because it is about the six senses and stimulating

000 Chinese antiques 60 (date) back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, with another 60,
000 items stored in warehouses (仓库).
Having never seen such items, Dudek is filled with strong admiration of the delicate designs
and complicated carvings of these old items. “I collect them 61 (simple) because I think they
are so beautiful.” said Dudek, adding that these items may be ignored once randomly packed in the warehouses, but they could shine again through restoration.
“Collections in the museum 62 (become) more varied and abundant over the past
few years, as more and more Chinese offer me some of their old belongings. Now I plan to invite
63 (craftsman) and scholars to discover more 64 (value) stories behind them.” he said.

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。
In July of 2021, Julia, a curious 5-year-old little girl, followed her dad into the dangerous Siberian wilderness near their home.
At first, Julia’s mother May believed Julia had gone with her father to visit her grandma.
Unfortunately, the area they lived in was so remote that it didn’t have cell phone service, so she couldn’t call her husband to confirm. It was only after her husband returned two days later that they realized Julia had made her way into the thick forest unnoticed and became lost.
Panicked and concerned, Julia’s family instantly called for help. It wasn’t long before hundreds
of people showed up to seek the girl. Rescue workers, police, firefighters, and volunteers searched like crazy for the girl. They also got the aid of six search dogs, and a helicopter with technology to
look for Julia in the dark but with no luck after a day’s search. Julia’s family feared the worst,
primarily since the area was well known for wild animals such as wolves and bears. Not to mention
高二英语 第 9 页 共 10 页
the fact that it was Siberia, which meant it got bitterly cold at night. Many of the rescuers were forced to face the reality that the girl was most likely dead. They knew a small child wouldn’t last long out in the cold with little to protect her.
Early in the next morning, the police officer David who was in charge of the search hurried to
Julia’s house to ask May for more details. It suddenly occurred to May that a neighborhood dog, which Julia named Nadia, would probably follow her into the forest.
“Julia spares her food and feeds Nadia every day and gradually Julia has developed a close
bond with the wandering dog. They are attached to each other and always inseparable. They must be together now, aren’t they？” May looked into David’s eyes and asked eagerly.
注意：
1、所续写短文的词数应为150 左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
David was about to reply when a dog ran into the house._____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
