Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with
a new book, or use roving(流动的）libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Bishan Library （Singapore）
Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.
Stuttgart City Library （Stuttgart, Germany）
Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme （lit by
blue light at night）, its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.
英语试题 第 2 页 （共 8 页）
The Camel Library Service （North Eastern Province, Kenya）
To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of
nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.
Macquarie University Library （Sydney, Australia）
A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.
Which of the following can offer the service of lending artwork
A. Bishan Library. B.The Camel Library Service.
C. Stuttgart City Library. D. Macquarie University Library.
What can we know about the Macquarie University Library
A.It opens four days a week serving the local people.
B.It has a green roof and a eucalyptus tree outside.
C.It is like a modern glass treehouse with skylights.
D.It is intelligent and environmentally-friendly.
According to the passage, the four libraries are all designed to ___.

When the designer and typographer (排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago, the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession with a very particular part of it: the keyboard.
“I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof. Not even close,” he shared on the Internet at the time.
“At this point, I literally have tears in my eyes. I’m not kidding. This feels like a miracle.”
He’d had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit: Each key on a keyboard has its own stories. And these stories are not just about computing technology, but also about the people who designed, used, or otherwise interacted with the keyboards.
Take the backspace key for example, he explains, “I like that the concept of backspace was originally just
that — a space going backward. We are used to it erasing now, but for a hundred years, erasing was its own incredibly complex effort. You needed to master a Comet eraser, or Wite-Out, or strange correction tapes, and possibly all of the above… or give up and start from scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing.”
The deeper he researched, the more obsessive he became. Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on
the history of keyboards, he decided to create his own. When not working at his day job as the design leader for
the design software company Figma, he began producing Shift Happens, a two-volume, 1,216-page hardcover
book — and raised over $750,000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of 2023. Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and the keyboard’s wide appeal. As he points out. “It’s such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.”
Which is the closest understanding of the underlined phrase tipped his interest ________.
made him lose his interest B. weakened his interest
C. publicized his interest D. changed his interest
What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards
A.The wisdom of human. B. The stories behind them.
C. The secret of the keyboards. D. The history of technology.
What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in Paragraph 4
A.It is the outcome of long-term improvement.
英语试题 第 3 页 （共 8 页）
It can be used to move back one space.
It is a rather simple but powerful key.
It permits people to make mistakes when typing.
27. Why did Wichary write his own book
A. To make money. B. To record history.
C. To fill a gap. D. To become a celebrity.

Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.Actually，Lab-grown meat is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat.
Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten
approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory.
Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat
received a“no questions”letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”.
Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without
slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.
Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a
launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.
What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common
Both have partnerships with international chefs.
Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.
Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.
Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.
What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat
Higher safety for eating.
Lower costs for restaurants.
Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.
Positive impacts on climate change.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph
Diners have access to free products from Upside.
Curious customers will become the main force of buying.
Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.
Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.
英语试题 第 4 页 （共 8 页）
What is the text mainly about
The benefits of cultivated meat.
The research on cultivated meat.
C.The history and processing of cultivated meat.
The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.
D
Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang
Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕
猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt
analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have
sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the
flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils
revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to
learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
What can we learn from paragraph 2
The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3
A. To clarify a complex concept. B. To provide specific proof.
To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How hominins began using flakes. D. How macaques cut food with flakes.
What is the best title of the passage
Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
A mistake: the origin of human technology.
Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.

Revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡眠拖延症) refers to the decision to delay sleep in response to
stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day. The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept
of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. 36 Both language versions reflect frustration
tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.
People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep. 37
This is known as an intention-behavior gap.
Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏). 38 Not getting enough sleep affects
thinking, memory, and decision-making. Sleep deprivation also raises the risk of daytime sleepiness, which can harm productivity and academic achievement while increasing the risks of sleeping driving.
39 It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders,
such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people
more easily to suffer from illnesses. Ongoing sleep loss consequences can build up over time. 40
The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment. But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.
The Chinese are noted for working long hours.
But they fail to actually do so.
A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.
Therefore, it contributes to significant long-term health problems.
The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.
Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.
We struggle to stay productive during the day to make up for the loss.
