As Alexandria Cuntry Day Schl’s sixth-graders created small 3D-printed villages t deal with hmelessness, they learned lessns beynd technlgy (科技).
The prject which was inspired by life-size 3D-printed hmes built by a Texas-based technlgy cmpany, aimed t make husing accessible fr everyne. Using inexpensive materials the students built strng hmes in just a few days.
11-year-ld Salwa Seman and Ze Mandel, fund creating settings challenging but wrthwhile. “If the temperature f the printer is t ht r cld, r if the printed walls are tth in, the cnstructins might fail,” said Salwa Seman. “Yu learn frm yur mistakes and make adaptatins,” said Ze Mandel.
The tech-fcused prject quickly develped int “an exercise in understanding, creatin, and partnership t bring abut lasting change,” said science teacher Alisn McDnald. “When mst peple think f helping the hmeless, they think f fd and clthing,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. While necessary, thse are slutins nly fr the mment. Even husing alne is nt a full answer.
“We wanted t include ther things that wuld make it feel mre like a real cmmunity,” said Luke Wazrk, 11. A cmmunity garden, a place t raise chickens, a stadium fr shared events, bus stps fr access t jbs, and service fr Wi-Fi and cellphnes t help with jb searches were imprtant features ffered t frmerly unhused residents.
“They get it!” said Amber Fgarty, president f a nnprfit rganizatin helping hmelessness in Austin. “The biggest reasn fr lng-term hmelessness is a serius lack in family relatinships,” she said. “Husing alne will never slve hmelessness, but cmmunity will Peple need a place where they are knwn, cared and lved.”
4. What is the aim f the prject n 3D-printed villages?
A. T raise mney fr the hmeless.
B. T win a cmpetitin n 3D printing.

Expanding land fr cws is the single biggest factr f rainfrest lss in the Amazn. Defrestatin reduces habitats fr endangered species and releases planet-heating carbn dixide. Actually, the Amazn is vulnerable. Its trees create mist (湿润的) cluds that make rain. If t many trees are cut dwn, the system culd break dwn, drying the regin and releasing a dangerus amunt f carbn dixide. “Reducing beef and dairy cnsumptin has t be part f the slutin fr saving the Amazn and reducing climate pllutin,” says Tim Searchinger, a senir research schlar at Princetn University.
Hwever, Over the last three decades, the number f cws Mlina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazn has nearly dubled, and milk prductin has increased. The reasn is that they have transfrmed their farm int a cmpletely different envirnment.
“This is the best htel fr a cw. With cntrlled temperatures and very gd quality fd the cws sleep peacefully.” Mlina said. The cntrlled temperatures are prvided by trees. In 1993, the Mlinas planted trees and plants acrss their farm, which nw ffer shade t cl the cws. The seed pds (种荚) and leaves frm these trees give the cws prtein-rich nutritin.
As Mlina walks thrugh the farm, he picks up sme black, sft sil, similar t cffee grunds. The trees n the farm supprt bacteria that “fix” nitrgen, enriching the sil withut the need fr chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer prductin cntributes t abut 5% f glbal greenhuse gas emissins. Mlina explains that they n lnger need t use nitrgen fertilizers, saving mney and reducing climate pllutin. Additinally, the trees prvide shade that cls the area and helps keep misture in the sil. This has reduced the farm’s need fr irrigatin, helping it t get thrugh recent reginal drughts.
By adpting these practices, the Mlina family has increased the prductivity f cws and dairy farms while minimizing envirnmental harm, prving that ec-friendly farming can help prtect bth the land and the climate.
8. What des the underlined wrd “vulnerable” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Clsely mnitred.B. Easily damaged.
C. Specially prtected.D. Largely untuched.
9 What is the functin f paragraph 3?
A. T demnstrate ways t increase prductivity f cws.
B. T stress the necessity f reducing dairy cnsumptin.
C. T highlight the urgency f envirnmental prtectin.
D. T cmpare traditinal and mdern farming practices.
10. Hw d the trees benefit the sil accrding t the text?
A. By fixing sil structure with their rts.B. By prviding shade and cling the cws.
C. By fertilizing the sil and hlding misture.D. By absrbing harmful chemicals in the sil.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Innvative farming practices stp defrestatin.
B. Planting trees helps t reduce climate pllutin.
C. Cw raising threatens the ecsystem in the Amazn.
D. Ec-friendly farming balances cws and the Amazn.
D
Windws brighten a rm, and give us a view utside f it. They als let in a large amunt f heat frm the sun. In fact, abut 87% f heat gains in a given space cme thrugh its windws. This is because ultravilet (紫外线的) radiatin passes thrugh glass easily. T keep ut the heat, peple use windw cverings like curtains, but this als blcks the view.
A recent study indicates that sn peple wh lve a view — but hate the heat — will be able t have it bth ways. The study presents a new windw cating that culd let in sunlight and keep ut the heat.
Windw films and heat-blcking catings are nt a new cncept. S, what’s new abut this cating? It’s all abut the angles. Because windws are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles thrughut the day. If a given cating nly blcks ultravilet light at a 90-degree angle, it is nly useful at the time f day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the windw is always changing. Our cating maintains functinality and efficiency wherever the sun’s psitin is in the sky,” said the lead authr f the study.
Instead f trying t use trial and errr, which culd take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning mdel assisted by quantum (量子的) cmputing t figure ut the way t create an ideal windw cating. The cating can remain clear and keep a rm cl at any given hur f the day, regardless f the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the windw.
There are endless numbers f practical applicatins fr this new windw cating frm cmmercial use t hme use, and even fr use in the cars. It will certainly lwer energy use as peple all ver the wrld turn ff their air cnditiners and electric fans and still enjy the view.
12. What is a disadvantage f windw cverings?
A. They are expensive.B. They are difficult t install.
C. They prevent the view utside.D. They can’t blck the heat effectively.
13. What makes the new windw cating unique?
A. It blcks all sunlight.B. It is efficient at a fixed angle.
C. It changes clr with sunlight.D. It wrks in all sunlight cnditins.
14. Hw did scientists develp the new windw cating?
A. By trial and errr.B. With quantum cmputing and AI.
C. By imitating existing windw films.D. With traditinal machine-learning mdels.
15. What is the authr’s attitude tward the new windw cating?
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.
C. Critical.D. Optimistic.

The fur muntain climbers were still breathing heavily as they lked ut int the distance. The views frm the tp f the muntain were breathtaking. In all directins, valleys, frests and ther muntains were laid ut befre them. They culd even see the small wden huses f the village where they had spent the night and the rute they had taken t reach the tp f this small but dangerus muntain. Laughing ludly, they were surprised at their curage in climbing such a steep and rcky muntain slpe. Filled with an enrmus sense f achievement, the fur yung climbers patted each ther n the back.
As the ther three cntinued t enjy the views, Jasn, the leader f the grup, stared at the hrizn with a trubled lk n his face.
“What is it, Jasn?” Sfia, the yungest f the grup, asked.
“Thse dark cluds in the distance mean a heavy strm is fast n the way,” Jasn replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him f the unpredictable weather cnditins n tp f the muntain and that a terrible strm culd appear frm nwhere.
“But it’s s warm and sunny here. I dn’t think the strm is cming this way,” Sfia said, mre in hpe than expectatin.
Hwever, Jasn feared the wrst and knew nly t well what wuld happen if the strm caught them in the pen. He addressed the grup in a calm but serius tne, “If the strm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult fr us t see where we are ging and we culd easily get lst r fall ff a cliff. The wind will take ur strength, s we need t get mving fast.”
The fur muntain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back dwn the muntain. Unfrtunately, despite their best effrts, the strm was upn them sner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impssible fr them t see clearly.

Expanding land fr cws is the single biggest factr f rainfrest lss in the Amazn. Defrestatin reduces habitats fr endangered species and releases planet-heating carbn dixide. Actually, the Amazn is vulnerable. Its trees create mist (湿润的) cluds that make rain. If t many trees are cut dwn, the system culd break dwn, drying the regin and releasing a dangerus amunt f carbn dixide. “Reducing beef and dairy cnsumptin has t be part f the slutin fr saving the Amazn and reducing climate pllutin,” says Tim Searchinger, a senir research schlar at Princetn University.
Hwever, Over the last three decades, the number f cws Mlina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazn has nearly dubled, and milk prductin has increased. The reasn is that they have transfrmed their farm int a cmpletely different envirnment.
“This is the best htel fr a cw. With cntrlled temperatures and very gd quality fd, the cws sleep peacefully.” Mlina said. The cntrlled temperatures are prvided by trees. In 1993, the Mlinas planted trees and plants acrss their farm, which nw ffer shade t cl the cws. The seed pds (种荚) and leaves frm these trees give the cws prtein-rich nutritin.
As Mlina walks thrugh the farm, he picks up sme black, sft sil, similar t cffee grunds. The trees n the farm supprt bacteria that “fix” nitrgen, enriching the sil withut the need fr chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer prductin cntributes t abut 5% f glbal greenhuse gas emissins. Mlina explains that they n lnger need t use nitrgen fertilizers, saving mney and reducing climate pllutin. Additinally, the trees prvide shade that cls the area and helps keep misture in the sil. This has reduced the farm’s need fr irrigatin, helping it t get thrugh recent reginal drughts.
By adpting these practices, the Mlina family has increased the prductivity f cws and dairy farms while minimizing envirnmental harm, prving that ec-friendly farming can help prtect bth the land and the climate.

Windw films and heat-blcking catings are nt a new cncept. S, what’s new abut this cating? It’s all abut the angles. Because windws are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles thrughut the day. If a given cating nly blcks ultravilet light at a 90-degree angle, it is nly useful at the time f day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the windw is always changing. Our cating maintains functinality and efficiency wherever the sun’s psitin is in the sky,” said the lead authr f the study.
Instead f trying t use trial and errr, which culd take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning mdel assisted by quantum (量子的) cmputing t figure ut the way t create an ideal windw cating. The cating can remain clear and keep a rm cl at any given hur f the day, regardless f the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the windw.
There are endless numbers f practical applicatins fr this new windw cating, frm cmmercial use t hme use, and even fr use in the cars. It will certainly lwer energy use as peple all ver the wrld turn ff their air cnditiners and electric fans and still enjy the view.
12. What is a disadvantage f windw cverings?
A. They are expensive.B. They are difficult t install.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了李时珍创作《本草纲目》的过程以及这本书在世界上的影响力。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他甚至研究了许多古代诗人的全集，并从中挑选出了数量惊人的关于医学的诗句。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是“many ancient pets”，指人，在从句中作“frm”的宾语，所以用关系代词“whm”。故填whm。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，他遇到的最大问题是药物名称使用上的广泛分歧。根据空前的“the widespread”可知，此处需要用“disagree”的名词形式作宾语，“disagreement”在这里表示抽象意义的“分歧”，是不可数名词。故填disagreemeent。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：意识到实地研究比广泛阅读更重要，1565年，李时珍到深山荒野中四处游历。根据空后的“than”可知，此处应用形容词的比较级。故填mre imprtant。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：经过十多年的实地研究，李时珍于1578年成功完成了他的杰作《本草纲目》的初稿。此处应用副词修饰动词“cmpleted”。故填successfully。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：直到1593年去世，他至少对这部作品进行了三次修订。此处特指上文提到的《本草纲目》这部作品，所以用定冠词。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：自1596年首次出版以来，这本书已获得了全世界的认可。根据“Since its first publicatin in 1596”可知，此处应用现在完成时，表示从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作或状态，主语“the bk”是第三人称单数，助动词需用“has”。故填has received。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：英国博物学家查尔斯・达尔文认为这本书是一部 “古代中国百科全书”。“think f ... as ...”是固定短语，意为“把……看作……”。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：2011年，这本书被列入联合国教科文组织的世界记忆名录。根据时间状“In 2011”可知，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时；“the bk”和“list”之间是被动关系，即“书被列入”，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语“the bk”是单数，be动词要用“was”。故填was listed。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2017年，在北京举行了一次国际会议，以庆祝李时珍诞辰500周年。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示举行国际会议的目的是庆祝李时珍诞辰500周年。故填t celebrate。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如今，以李时珍及其著作《本草纲目》为中心的国际交流越来越多，世界各地的许多人仍然能在这本古老的经典著作中找到人类发展的智慧。此处应用形容词修饰名词“number”，“grw”的形容词形式是“grwing”，意为“不断增加的，越来越多的”。故填grwing。

They culd even see the small wden huses f the village where they had spent the night and the rute they had taken t reach the tp f this small but dangerus muntain. Laughing ludly, they were surprised at their curage in climbing such a steep and rcky muntain slpe. Filled with an enrmus sense f achievement, the fur yung climbers patted each ther n the back.
As the ther three cntinued t enjy the views, Jasn, the leader f the grup, stared at the hrizn with a trubled lk n his face.

The rain and mist will make it difficult fr us t see where we are ging and we culd easily get lst r fall ff a cliff. The wind will take ur strength, s we need t get mving fast.”
The fur muntain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back dwn the muntain. Unfrtunately, despite their best effrts, the strm was upn them sner than expected.
