22．（8分）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 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 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．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
3、By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means
“_______”.
A．destroy old buildings B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural style 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 argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
23．（8分）LUKLA, Nepal(Xinhua) – Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, once negatively recognized as the “world’s highest junkyard”, is set to become cleaner as 30,000 porters（搬运工）have been mobilized（动员）for waste collection and disposal fr om the mountain’s southern side. The cleanup drive was launched recently
near Lukla airport, one of the world’s most dangerous airports yet a vital gateway to the world’s highest peak.
“Our major task is to keep Everest, which is the pride of the world, cl ean. This campaign aims to transport 100 tons of nonburnable garbage from the Everest region to Kathmandu in 2018,”Ang Dorje Sherpa, chairman of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee said.
The SPCC, an environmental conversation organization, has made it mandatory （强制性）since 2013 that every climber should carry down 8 kilograms of trash, but for trekkers（旅行者）there is no such regulation. Due to this, more than 100 tons of waste gets collected in the region annually.
According to Nepalese government statistics, nearly 50,000 domestic and foreign trekkers visit the Qomolangma region annually, while more than 400 mountaineers attempt to scale the peak. The collected waste mostly includes empty beer bottles and cans, oxygen bottles, torn tents and sleeping bags, food bins, and discarded mountaineering and trekking equipment. The trash was collected by local groups in more than a dozen villages while the waste was transported down the mountain in sacks （麻布袋）by porters and yak-hybrid animals as zopkyos. The cleanup covered settlements from up to 5,000 meters near the base camp, to Lukla airport located at an altitude of 2,805 meters.
On the first day of the campaign, several tons of waste was sent off to Kathmando from Lulka on planes belonging to Tara Airlines, one of the leading private airlines in Nepal. The airlines have set an ambitious target of flying out 100 tons of waste from the region in 2018, as a part of its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals against climate change. The company’s CEO Umesh Chandra Rai said: “We hope that this campaign will help the local people to maintain a pristine（原始的）, natural and unspoiled environment so that more trekkers will come from everywhere, making the trekking industry here more sustainable.”
1、What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The basic situation of Mount Everest.
B．The introduction of the clean-up campaign.
C．The unique way to prevent environment pollution.
D．The description of the most dangerous airport in the word.
2、What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The rule for visitors made by the local travel agencies.
B．The clean-up campaign launched by Ang Dorje Sherpa.
C．The demand for the climbers made by the SPCC since 2013.
D．The law for the local people made by the Nepalese government.
3、How does the author indicate that the clean-up campaign is very tough?
A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving some examples. D．By analyzing some causes.
4、What’s Umesh Chandra Rai’s attitude towards the clean-up campaign? A．Doubtful. B．Curious.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Unfavorable.
24．（8分）America’s latest superhero Austin Perine，who calls himself President Austin，is now taking the country by storm.But he is not a typical superhero.Two things set him apart:He doesn’t fight human enemies，but hunger and homelessness.Also，he’s only four years old.
Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Perine，his father，took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries，a local shelter that provides housing，food and other services for the homeless.As they drove by the building，they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.That day，Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan，“Don’t forget to show love!”
After he returned every week for five weeks in a row，word of Austin’s kindness spread through social media.Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time before，and now，thanks to community support，they can feed 800 to 2,000 people.
But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs.He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries，TJ and Austin talked to a poor man named Raymont.The respect Austin showed for him touched
41-year-old Raymont，who regained his confidence in life and finally found a job with the help of TJ.All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling.After rais ing money through a GoFundMe page，Audrey，TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation，dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president，and TJ
oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.

25．（10分）If maths is the language of the universe, bees may have just uttered their first words. New research suggests these busybodies of the insect world are capable of addition and subtraction (减法)—using colors in the place of plus and minus symbols.
In the animal kingdom, the ability to count—or at least distinguish between differing quantities—isn’t unusual: It has been seen in frogs, spide rs, and even fish. But solving equations (方程式) using symbols is rare, so far only achieved by famously brainy animals such as chimpanzees and African grey parrots.
Building on previous research that says the social insects can count to four and understand the concept of zero, researchers wanted to test the limits of what their tiny brains can do.
Scientists trained 14 bees to link the colors blue and yellow to addition and subtraction, respectively. They placed the bees at the entrance of a Y-shaped maze (迷宫), where they were shown several shapes in either yellow or blue. If the shapes were blue, bees got a reward if they went to the end of the maze with one more blue shape
(the other end had one less blue shape); if the shapes were yellow, they got a reward if they went to the end of the maze with one less yellow shape.
The testing worked the same way: Bees that “subtracted” one shape when they saw yellow, or “added” one shape when they saw blue were considered to have aced the test. The bees got the right answer 63% to 72% of the time, depending on the type of equation and the direction of the right answer—much better than random guesses would allow—the researchers report today in Science Advances.
Though the results came from just 14 bees, researchers say the advance is exciting. If a brain about 20,000 times smaller than ours can perform maths using symbols, it could pave the way to novel approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Just don’t ask the bees to do your homework anytime soo n.
1、Why do the scientists conduct the research?
A．To teach them maths. B．To test the power of tiny brains. C．To explain the meaning of colors. D．To get access to machine learning.
2、What does the underlined word “aced” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Given up. B．Entered for.
C．Got through. D．Checked over.
3、What might the research make contributions to?
A．Language acquisition. B．Arithmetic learning.
C．Protection of animals. D．Development of AI.
4、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Bees “Like” Count ing
B．Bees “Tell” Colors Apart
C．Bees “Perform” Maths Using Shapes
D．Bees “Get” Addition and Subtraction

Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of others in a competitive contest for success, because they believe competition 16 the best in any person. Indeed, the pressure of competition causes an American to be 17 , but it also places a constant emotional stress on him. In fact, in a society that gives so much 18 to those “winners”,19 does not compete successfully for whatever reason never 20 into it as well as those who do.
