21、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
【1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
D. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
【3】By “move things forward”in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_________”．
A. destroy old buildings
B. choose new architectural style
C. put things in a different place
D. respect people's feelings for historical buildings
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
22、Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages? The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museum goers describe the historic book smell.
The top two responses? Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
【1】What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?
A．An strange reading habit.
B．Fascination for smells of books.
C．Addiction to reading books.
D．A dislike for smelling books.
【2】How do people usually describe unlabeled smells?
A．By referring to familiar items.
B．By using adjectives to label them.
C．By analysing chemical compounds.
D．By connecting them with food smells.
【3】Which is NOT the purpose of using the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”?
A．To record historic library smells.
B．To identify smells and compounds.
C．To remove the conservators’ worries.
D．To put different scents into different libraries.
【4】What might the study be used for in the future?
A．Creating a whole new scent.
B．Improving the people’s sense of smell.
C．Restoring smells of historic documents.
D．Extracting components of “old book smell”.
23、 Of all my dreams, my least favorite is the one where I'm in a car. It always begins with me driving, but eventually I realize that for some reason I'm sitting in the back seat. I can’t keep the car under control, rushing toward the roadside until, screaming, I wake up.
This is like the passenger experience in Waymo's self-driving cars. You sit in the back seat of a vehicle and watch as the wheel turns itself above an entirely empty driving seat.
'We made you live your nightmare, ' a Waymo staff member joked after I exited one of the company's fully self-driving car, following a quick drive inside its secret testing site. Waymo, a self-driving car company, arranged these rides for 40 journalists at this site.
There were also some demonstrations(演示). We watched as a Waymo car was cut off by a speeding vehicle. Then the employees created a situation in which a pile of moving boxes fell into the street just as another car passed in the opposite direction. Throughout the day, the cars performed impressively, driving with the level of care you might take if you had a wedding cake in the back seat.
During these demonstrations, Waymo gave information about what it was planning to do with these vehicles. The company has laid out four ways that its technology could be made available to the public. But Waymo's CEO, John Krafcik, wouldn’t show which of these was likely to come to market first, or on what kind of timeline.
I can't help but admire that Waymo is succeeding in developing this technology. There are countless possibilities at play on the road. The task of programming software to react to all those situations is unimaginably complex. What a great breakthrough!
【1】How did the author feel about her self-driving experience in her dream?
A.It was puzzling. B.It was terrifying.
C.It was amusing. D.It was inspiring.
【2】The author is probably _______________.
A.a newspaper reporter B.a professional driver
C.a software developer D.a Waymo staff member
【3】What did the author intend to prove by mentioning the wedding cake in paragraph 4?
A.The employees performed well.
B.The self-driving cars worked well.
C.The self-driving cars ran at the same speed.
D.People could depend on the cars in emergencies.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.The self-driving car will come to market soon.
B.The programming software needs to be improved.
C.The technology will make a difference to people's life.
D.The company still has no plan to put the technology into practice.
24、The beautiful island country of Madagascar has a serious school shortage. About a third of Malagasy children have no access to education because the schools are too far away or severely overcrowded. Thinking Hus, a non-profit dedicated to increasing global access to education, plans to tackle the issue with a series of 3D-printed schools, the first of which was completed in April 2022.
The 765-square-feet structure, named Bougainvillea, will house 30 students. The construction a began with the printer pouring a cement-like (水泥状) mixture in a pattern to create the walls. The entire process took just 18 hours! The roof, doors and windows were locally sourced, and the walls were made of a cement mixture that can resist big environmental pressures in the area. Bougainvillea was 3D printed by 14 Trees, a company with experience printing buildings throughout Kenya and Malawi.
Maggie Grouts, the 22-year-old founder of Thinking Huts, is a senior at the University of Colorado and was just 15 when she started Thinking Huts. Adopted from a rural village in China when she was 18 months old, Grout realized that not all kids were as fortunate as her and wanted to help. The idea for the 3D-printed schools came to her after brainstorming(集思广益) with her father on ways to use the technology for the greater good.
The 3D printing approach shrinks the construction turnaround time from months to days, as well as the cost. This allows more schools to be built in less time and reduces the building’s carbon footprints. And these savings in time, cost and materials meet a real need for education infrastructure (基础设施) to help bridge the global opportunity gap.
“Thinking Huts hopes to have a Thinking Hut in every community where children do not have a place for education and is fundraising to develop this goal. By using 3D printing, we are combining the potential of technology with architectural solutions that tackle real problems the world faces within education,” says Grouts.
【1】What are 3D-printed schools intended for?
A．Reducing construction wastes.
B．Providing high-quality education for local students.
C．Helping deal with a shortage of schools.
D．Drawing public attention to 3D-printing technology.
【2】What do we know about Bougainvillea?
A．It has a complex architectural structure.
B．It features strong resistance to bad weather.
C．It is built with the help of the local government.
D．It can hold more students than traditional schools.
【3】What can we infer about Maggie Grouts from the text?
A．She is truly creative and warmhearted.
B．She had no access to school as a child
C．She is devoted to designing 3D-printed products，
D．She raised money for kids from rural areas in China.
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us in paragraph 4?
A．The advantages of 3D-printed schools.
B．The wide popular tyof3D-prining technology.
C．The significance of narrowing the global opportunity gap.
D．The impact of 3D-printed buildings on the environment.
