一、阅读理解
Here is a selectin f the wrld’s mst unusual buildings that define a place thrugh inventive ways f adapting t lcal envirnments.
The flating (流动的) hmes f Lake Titicaca
Mre than 500 years ag, the grwing Inca Empire began t ccupy the Urs’ mainland villages. T resist this threat, the Urs began t build the flating islands with the water- resistant plant called ttra, which grws in the lake and is the lifebld f the Urs cmmunity.
The perfect desert twn: Ghadames
Ghadames is an impressive example f envirnmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back t the sky at night. By mrning, the walls have cled again. Skilful use f available building materials achieves the maximum cmfrt with minimal means.
Spain’s fairy-tale huses
Knwn as pallzas, the rund huses are built frm just a handful f materials: stne, wd and dry grass. Thick stne walls depending n what was available in the area blck the cld and cnserve internal heat. Inside, the pallza’s fireplaces are essential fr maintaining a cnstant temperature, making it energy-efficient.
The Himalayas’ ancient design
The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique knwn as Kath kuni. Wd and stnes create a fantastic balance. The wden frames (框架) lessen the stress n the penings during an earthquake. Thick stnes hld the whle building firmly in place. Abve all, pieces f wd interlck tgether, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allwing walls t mve in case f an earthquake.

Every mrning at 5 a.m. when mst peple are asleep, a single figure wuld be busy in the kitchen, cking meals fr the needy flks f Singapre until the rest f the vlunteers and the fur full-time cks arrive. Day in and day ut, Mr Tny Tay and his team prepare, ck, pack and deliver the fd t varius parts f the island. This team f caring vlunteers frm all walks f life wrk tirelessly t bring a smile t the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness int their lives!
During ne f his visits t cllect vegetables and distribute them t a less privileged neighbrhd, his wife nticed that the elderly flk did nt take vegetables. Upn asking fr the reasn, ne replied that she culd nt ck and thus nly ate the rice delivered t her.

Since the rganizatin’s early days, vlunteers have learned hw t ck, interact with peple frm all walks f life, pick up different languages, acquire greater knwledge abut scial issues, and mst imprtantly, build strng bnds with ne anther. Thrugh Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hpes t expse the yunger generatin t the cuntry’s backyard, t allw them t see and experience firsthand what ges n behind clsed drs. This is t encurage them t becme mre cmpassinate individuals wh understand the imprtance f taking care f the elderly, and be inspired t facilitate unity within their wn families. His best gift during the curse f this jurney is seeing hw yunger vlunteers help and feed the less privileged. One vlunteer, he prudly tells us, has been inspired t start his wn prgramme t help the needy.
As a nn-prfit rganizatin, Willing Hearts relies heavily n dnatins and fd cllectins. Althugh the vlunteers at Willing Hearts may be a small and irregular grup, they are always n the lkut fr the pr t extend their assistance t them.

It is reprted that rail industry emplyers are planning t phase ut paper train tickets and shut almst 1,000 statin ticket ffices in England. The authrities say nthing has been decided. But the transprt secretary, Grant Shapps, pints ut sme statins sell nly a handful f tickets each week and the vast majrity f deals have mved nline.
Regardless f the utcme f the plan, the directin f travel is clear. In the name f mdernizatin and expense-cutting, statin ticket ffices are likely t fllw cuntless high street bank branches and rural pst ffices int memry. Fr thse wh have grwn used t the advantages f rganizing travel by smartphne, there will be little t feel srry. But fr peple withut nline access r skills, anther small scial barrier will emerge. A recent reprt estimated that arund 6% f husehlds — 1.5m hmes — have n Internet access. Millins mre f us remain irregular and uncnfident users f the Internet. Mst likely, as digital technlgy becmes the gatekeeper t everyday life, a significant minrity risks being left behind.
Shifting nline is unavidable, but its fallut needs t be managed with mre care. Technlgy shuld nt be allwed t drive peple t the side f their wn lives, as anecdtal (传闻的) evidence suggests is increasingly the case. Rs Altmann, the frmer pensins (养老金) minister, recently wrte f being cntacted by an elderly wman wh n lnger drives t her lcal park, because she cannt dwnlad the car parking app required.
The debate ver ticket ffices ffers an pprtunity t reflect mre bradly n the increasing rle f technlgy in ur scial landscape. Clearly, much mre needs t be invested in helping marginalized (边缘化的) grups acquire easy nline access. Alternative ffline ptins must be maintained fr imprtant services. Cntactable telephne numbers and staffed public access pints shuld always be available. This will need mre expense. But that is the price f being fair t thse wh find themselves n the wrng side f the digital divide.
8．What frces the rail industry t phase ut paper train tickets?
A．Csts f internet access.
B．Clsure f statin ticket ffices.
C．Sharp decline f ffline business.
D．Peple’s effrts t digitize the industry.
9．Which f the fllwing might fall victim t the plan?
A．Rural pst ffices.B．Irregular Internet users.
C．Uncnfident husehlds.D．High Street bank branches.
10．What des the authr suggest in the last paragraph?
A．Taking the digital divide fairly.B．Slwing dwn the mdernizatin.
C．Investing mre in public transprt.D．Maintaining a diversity f service.

13 They will surely be an exciting part f the educatinal experience with the main purpse t expse children t knwledge f varius fields and expand their hrizns. T achieve that, museums are wrking t create meaningful and engaging activities, interactive and knwledge-based.

The Right Thing t D
Fauna had always dreamed f keeping a pet. Time and again, she asked her parents, prmising t walk, feed, and lk after it. Each time, thugh, they gave the same gentle respnse: “We’ll see.”
One afternn, n her way hme frm schl, Fauna saw a little dg wandering near the park. Its fur was messy, and it lked lst, sniffing the grund as if searching fr smething. Feeling curius and hpeful, Fauna bent dwn and called t it. The dg quickly ran ver, wagging (摇) its tail and gently pressing its nse int her hand, like they had knwn each ther frever.
