Rads and railways have made it easy fr peple t travel arund the UK, but have had the precisely ppsite effect fr insects. Alngside husing develpments, transprt infrastructure (基础设施) has separated insect habitats, leaving many pllinatrs (传粉昆虫) stuck n decreasing islands f bidiversity.
A new cnservatin prject aims t address that by creating a netwrk f wildflwer superhighways acrss the UK. The B-Lines netwrk aims t jin the dts between meadw habitats, enabling pllinatrs and ther wildlife t mve freely between them. Ten years in the making, the B-Lines initiative was launched by the insect charity Buglife n Tuesday and has already generated interest frm unexpected quarters. “After the launch, sme huse builders rang up asking hw they culd include the netwrk int huse building, s it culd have a really psitive effect,” said Buglife’s Paul Hetheringtn.
Buglife has spent the last decade mapping ptential rutes fr the insect superhighway. Hetheringtn said the prpsed highway culd give the UK’s weak insects a bst and a rute ut f habitats that becme t ht due t the climate crisis and it can make a huge difference in easing declines. “The things that have really hammered pllinatrs are habitat lss, lss f cnnectivity f habitat, climate change and pesticides—this deals with everything except pesticides,” said Hetheringtn.
The B-lines netwrk is nt just a cncept. Pilt sectins have already been cmpleted, including the Suth Wales B-Lines near Cardiff. “Since that was dne, there have been recrdings f ne f ur rarest bees in Cardiff twn centre, which shws this cnnectivity can wrk,” said Hetheringtn. And in Nrwich, Buglife has been wrking with Netwrk Rail t plant wildflwers alng the track. Anyne living alng the prpsed rute can get invlved in the prject. All they need t d is let their lawns grw, r even just create a small herb garden, which Hetheringtn likened t creating a “mtrway service statin fr bees”.
8、What can we learn abut the B-Lines netwrk frm paragraph 2?

A. By recrding the tracks f bees.B. By cperating with Netwrk Rail.
C. By planting herbs in their wn gardens.D. By creating a mtrway service statin.
11、What is the text mainly abut?
A. Rads and railways have caused bad effect n insects.
B. Transprt infrastructure prevents husing develpments.
C. Pllinatrs are stuck n decreasing islands f bidiversity.
D. Cnservatinists are creating “superhighways” fr insects.
In the mnths that fllwed, the Ruprechts decided t rebuild a less-leaky hme equipped against future wildfires and pr air quality. The family’s research led them t passive building. Cmbined with carefully placed windws, such buildings can reduce a hme’s energy needs by 90 percent cmpared t typical hmes.
But the Ruprechts sn discvered their ambitins faced a majr bstacle: cst. High cnstructin prices and lw insurance payuts have discuraged Marshall fire victims trying t rebuild their hmes. The few lcal cmpanies ffering t build passive hmes wuldn’t wrk within the cuple’s budget.
That all changed with a link psted in an nline cmmunity grup. It directed Peter Ruprecht t a web page fr the RESTORE Passive Huse, a three-bedrm, three-bathrm hme designed fr the Marshall fire burn area. The designers prmised a $550,000 price tag after gvernment incentives, which the cuple culd affrd.
The cuple is nw the first t sign up t build the hme. “It feels like a n-brainer,” Ruprecht said. “We’re getting better at everything in terms f cnstructin quality, fire resistance, cmfrt and ding a gd jb fr the planet.”
Debates ver cnstructin csts and climate-minded building standards have supercharged lcal plitics in the aftermath f the Marshall fire. Earlier this year, Luisville and Superir – the tw cmmunities hit hardest by the disaster — faced intense pressure frm fire victims wrried cmpulsry green building cdes wuld further bst cnstructin prices. Bth lcal gvernments ended up allwing thse families t rebuild t earlier, less-strict standards.
The RESTORE Passive Huse attempts t prve green hmes can fit within middle-class budgets. The task culd prve critical as gvernments push t reduce the climate impact f buildings, which accunt fr 13 percent f U.S. greenhuse gas emissins and 20 percent f Clrad emissins — largely due t natural gas appliances and an electricity grid dminated by fssil fuels. Passive hmes culd als help prtect families frm climate threats like pr air quality and future fires.
12、What’s the majr feature f passive buildings?
A. Ecnmic.B. Climate-friendly.C. Delicate.D. Cstly.
13、What cntributed t the Ruprechts’ rebuilding their new hme?
A. Psting their needs nline t raise mney.
B. Receiving assistance frm insurance cmpany.
C. Cnnecting with an nline design and build team.
D. Negtiating with the lcal cmpanies.
14、What des the underlined phrase “a n-brainer” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. A risky attempt.B. A tugh task.C. A stupid idea.D. An easy decisin.
15、What des the authr intend t tell us in the text?
A. The green huse fr Marshall fire victims isn’t a luxury hme.
B. The RESTORE Passive Huse aims t build green hmes fr free.
C. All the gvernments stuck t their strict green building cdes.
D. The Ruprechts rebuilt their hme despite high cnstructin csts.

32、答案：①branches②and③t suit④dug⑤themselves⑥truly⑦remains⑧wh/that⑨the⑩named
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了土木工程历史和现在。
①考查名词的数。句意：它是工程学最古老的分支之一，可以追溯到人们最初开始居住在永久定居点并开始根据自己的需要改造环境的时候。ne f +the +形容词最高级+复数名词。故填branches。
②考查连词。句意：它是工程学最古老的分支之一，可以追溯到人们最初开始居住在永久定居点并开始根据自己的需要改造环境的时候。根据句中动词started和began可知，这两个动作是并列关系。故填and。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：它是工程学最古老的分支之一，可以追溯到人们最初开始居住在永久定居点并开始根据自己的需要改造环境的时候。句中用不定式作目的状语。故填t suit。
④考查时态。句意：他们挖井、灌溉沟渠和壕沟。根据文章时态可知，陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。故填dug。
⑤考查代词。句意：随着越来越多的人开始在城镇生活在一起，这些人需要可靠的清洁水源、用于贸易的街道网络和抵御不友好邻居的方法。defend neself against抵御。故填themselves。
⑥考查副词。句意：这些可能是简单的土堆，也可能是真正了不起的成就，如吉萨金字塔和巨石阵，它们是前工业社会建造的，至今仍是谜。修饰形容词remarkable，用副词形式。故填truly。
⑦考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这些可能是简单的土堆，也可能是真正了不起的成就，如吉萨金字塔和巨石阵，它们是前工业社会建造的，至今仍是谜。非限定性定语从句缺少谓语动词。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。从句中主语whse cnstructin为单数形式，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填remains。
⑧考查定语从句。句意：创造这些奇迹的工程师的名字早已失传。句中先行词为engineers，指人，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词wh或that引导。故填wh/that。
⑨考查冠词。句意：今天，公众更可能记住伟大的土木工程项目的名字，而不是工程师的名字。the public公众。故填the。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意：一个明显的例外是埃菲尔铁塔，它是以法国土木工程师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔的名字命名的。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。名词the Eiffel Twer与name after之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。故填named。
