A
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.
21.Which structure was built fr defending residents against attackers?
A.The kath kuni structure.B.The flating structure.
C.The Ghadames structure.D.The pallza’s structure.
22.What d the huses in Ghadames and pallzas have in cmmn?
A.They are sustainable.B.They maximize internal heat.
C.They are built fr luxury living.D.They’re made f special materials.
23.What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant?
A.The stne frames.B.The narrw penings.
C.The flexible wd.D.An interlcking system.

In the heart f the Kanien’keha Natin (卡尼恩克哈部族) in Canada, McCmber, a native language teacher reflected n a questin raised by Mari (毛利) language advcate Sir Karetu: what was his dream fr the future f his language?
Kanien’keha, the Mhawk language, is endangered, and fr decades, McCmber has wrked hard t perate a native language schl. At the turn f the century, as it encuntered mre barriers, McCmber lked arund the wrld fr help and inspiratin, and Karetu was the answer. “Dn’t wait fr mney r apprval; just d the wrk,” Karetu tld him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ag, when te re Mari, the Mari language, was als n the line.
In the early 1970s, yung Mari advcates in New Zealand marched t the gvernment, demanding Mari be taught in all public schls. In 1982, Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi established Khanga Re, an engaging language prgram where Mari was the nly language taught, spken and used bth in the classrm and at hme, and the curses fcused n their histry and culture. “Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Khanga Re was entirely cmmunity-led. Families raised the mney t rent classrm spaces, and vlunteers planned and taught classes.”
Translated in English as “language nest”, the Khanga Re mdel quickly became an imprtant cultural exprt and inspired ther minrity cmmunities wrldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student f McCmber’s nest schl says, “They wanted t teach us the beauty f ur language, ur culture, and wh we are. And it has given me the cnfidence t speak and read with ease in bth English and Kanien’keha.”
The mdel helped cmmunities view the wrld thrugh their ancestrs’ eyes, ensuring the survival f their way f life. “It’s nt just abut language,” McCmber can nw answer that questin. “It’s everything.”
24.Why did McCmber turn t Karetu fr help?
A.Karetu als spke Kanien’keha.B.Karetu nce faced a similar crisis.
C.He needed his financial supprt.D.He desired his tips n language learning.
25.What cntributed t the success f Khanga Re?
A.Expansin f public schls.B.Flexibility f the curses.
C.Rule f the students’ parents.D.Supprt frm the cmmunity.
26.What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A.The impact f the Khanga Re mdel.
B.The imprtance f parents’ invlvement.
C.The prcedure fr building the nest schl.
D.The case f a student finding his real identity.
27.By saying “It’s everything”, McCmber suggests ______.
A.guaranteeing the survival f their wn schls
B.keeping their culture fr future generatins
C.purifying their unique minrity language
D.practicing the traditin f their ancestrs

Are yu an pen bk, yur face bradcasting every passing emtin, r mre f a pker face, nt shwing what yu are feeling? Scientists at Nttingham Trent University say that wearing yur heart n yur face, culd actually give yu a significant scial advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellw at NTU’s Schl f Scial Sciences, invlving ver 1,300 participants, nticed striking variatins in hw much peple mved their faces during cnversatins. Imprtantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. Peple displayed similar levels f facial expressiveness acrss different cntexts, with different scial partners, and even ver time perids up t fur mnths.
The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked t persnality, with mre agreeable individuals displaying mre lively faces. Facial expressiveness can als translate int cncrete scial benefits. In a negtiatin task, mre expressive individuals are mre likely t secure a larger slice f a reward. The researchers suggest that fr agreeable flks, dynamic facial expressins may serve as a tl fr building gd relatinship and smthing ver cnflicts. Acrss the bard, the results pint t facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) functin,” r a scial glue that develps liking and smther interactins.
Expressiveness is als linked t being seen as mre “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes ne’s intentins and mental states easier fr thers t decipher. Beynd frequency f facial mvements, peple wh emply facial expressins mre strategically t suit scial gals, such as lking friendly in a greeting, are als mre well- liked.
The findings challenge the “pker face” cmmn belief that a still and unemtinal appearance is always mst advantageus. Instead, they suggest that fr mst peple, allwing ne’s face t mirrr inner states and intentins can invite warmer reactins. As the researchers cnclude, “Being facially expressive is scially advantageus.” S, the next time yu catch yurself making lines n yur frehead, r flashing a smile, knw that yur face just might be wrking vertime n yur behalf.
28.What des Paragraph 2 mainly talk abut cncerning the study?
A.Its impact.B.Its findings.C.Its limitatins.D.Its significance.
29.What may facial expressiveness serve as in negtiatin settings?
A.A way t frighten cmpetitrs.
B.A methd t hide persnalities.
C.A tl t shw persnal quality.
D.A strategy t settle disagreement.
30.What des the underlined wrd “decipher” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A.Cpy.B.Overlk.C.RememberD.Interpret.
31.What may the authr advise based n the findings f the study?
A.Always wearing a still face.B.Learning t be an pen bk.
C.Speaking ut inner emtins.D.Frcing a smile thrugh tears.

Can yu think f smene wh is an excellent cmmunicatr? He must have gd skills f speaking cnfidently in varius situatins, including presentatins, grup discussins and activities. Als, he shuld be gd at listening t thers, understanding grup dynamics, and prmting shared decisin-making.
Research n classrm-based grup wrk reveals a paradx (悖论): while cperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in grups ften prves unprductive. The slutin lies in teaching children hw t cperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial rle in this prcess thrugh their interactin with students.
T ensure effective grup wrk, teachers must first raise students’ awareness f the purpse and value f grup activities. Mre imprtantly, they need t teach students hw t engage in reasned discussins, knwn as Explratry Talk. This invlves cnsidering everyne’s viewpints, justifying pinins with reasns, and making cllective decisins. In Explratry Talk, participants engage critically but cnstructively with each ther’s ideas, invite cntributins, and seek further explanatins.
Successful cperatin requires a reasned discussin, which can be facilitated by establishing a set f “Grund Rules” fr Explratry Talk. These rules guide behavirs such as asking fr infrmatin, seeking and prviding reasns, and evaluating prpsals. Grund Rules help children wrk twards jint cnclusins, respect pinins, and develp their ideas. Fr instance, children learn t ask, “What d yu think? Why?” and listen attentively t each ther’s respnses, reaching reasned cnclusins.
Explratry Talk enhances grup activities as a pwerful learning tl. Certain activities, like Talking Pints, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussins. Talking Pints are inspiring statements designed t encurage children t share their knwledge and uncertainties n a specific tpic. Research indicates that Talking Pints bring abut mre imaginative and extensive respnses than traditinal questins. They help children fcus n the tpic and cmpare their viewpints with thers. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develp with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resurces fr new thinking. With prper guidance, the students will sn begin t see their ideas flwing. And gradually they will learn t participate fully nt nly in educatin but als in life as well.
32.What may help slve the grup wrk paradx?
A.Active interactin amng teachers.B.Grup learning amng students.
C.Teachers’ effective guidance.D.Students’ deep engagement.
33.Why shuld Grund Rules be set fr the students?
A.T ppularize grup activities.B.T build up their individuality.
C.T stimulate mre prpsals.D.T encurage reasning in talks.
34.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.Students shuld be challenged with uncertainties.
B.Traditinal questins shuld be avided in classes.
C.Well-designed brainstrming matters in grup activities.
D.Idea exchanges between the students deserve tp pririty.
35.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A.Why putting children in grups desn’t always wrk
B.What effects a gd cmmunicatr has n discussin
C.Whether teachers shuld use Explratry Talk r nt

In Chinese traditinal architecture, a skywell is an pen curtyard r well-like space usually lcated at the heart f a building r grup f buildings. 36 Their designs ften feature the classic Chinese du gng verhangs t prvide shade and cllect water int a central basin.
Chinese skywells are s effective in cling hmes because they can cntrl natural airing. Cl air is drawn int the building frm the lwer levels, and warm air escapes and rises thrugh the upper levels. 37
The skywell’s layut and cnstructin materials als help in thermal(热量的)regulatin. During the day, the curtyard absrbs heat frm the sun, acting as a thermal mass. 38 This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and cnsistent temperature indrs.
Mst traditinal skywells include water features, such as funtains r pnds. A recent study has shwn that the mst significant part f a skywell’s cling effect cmes frm these water bdies. 39 As water evaprates(蒸发)frm these features, it absrbs heat frm the surrunding air. This reduces the temperature within the curtyard and surrunding rms.
40 One fitting example is the Natinal Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technlgy Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-stry building that has a giant pen space at its heart frm the fifth flr t the tp flr. The tilets, elevatrs, and meeting rms surrund this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy cnsumptin, accrding t the Shanghai-based CCDI Grup.
A.This prmtes fresh air flw,especially during ht summer days.
B.It is ften a square surrunded by the building’s rms and wings.
C.This cling was disadvantageus in regins with ht and dry climates.
D.It’s prbably why temperatures arund them are 2.6℃ t 4.2℃ lwer.
E.These wnders cntinue t inspire architects t seek sustainable slutins.
F.The magic f skywells stands as witnesses t the wisdm f ancient builders.
G.The stred heat is gradually released as the utdr temperature drps at night.
