(限时:25分钟)
Passage 1
Seeing the disappointment on his daughter’s face because,at 400 pounds,her dad couldn’t play with her,was the fuel one father needed to turn his life around after 25 years.
In 1994,Murphy was violently attacked by three men.It took him seven months to recover from his injuries,including relearning how to walk.
“I used that as an excuse to be lazy,”he said.“Over the years,I ate a lot and drank a lot and put on a lot of weight.”
Over the next two decades,Murphy gained 200 pounds,drank nearly every day and struggled with PTSD from the attack. “I hid it for almost 25 years.I looked like the happy guy at the pub.But I was drinking to escape,” he said.“And then she came along.”
The birth of his daughter,Chloe,in 2014 sparked a desire to turn his life around.Murphy went to a nearby gym.But just 20 minutes after getting on a treadmill,he heard two men mocking him,saying the back of his neck looked like “a pack of sausages”.Serious anxiety from his PTSD made him give up and go home.
Four years later,in 2018,Murphy was leaving a playground with Chloe when she asked him to race her home.
“I said,‘Sorry sweetie,you know Dad can’t run,’and the look of her was not just sadness,but disappointment.I’ll never forget it,” Murphy said.“That lit a fire in me.”
He started boxing,eating healthily and stopped drinking.Murphy eventually lost 170 pounds and got his PTSD under control.
“Now,we race all the time,and she’s smiling all the time,” he said of his daughter.
Almost five years into his transformation,Murphy said Chloe remains his motivation every day.
“I used to sometimes sit around and wonder what my purpose was and why I was kept around,” he said.“And then I look at her and that’s pretty clear.”

Passage 2
Homebuyers interested in relocating to Georgetown,Texas,may have the opportunity to live in a large,3D-printed neighborhood.
ICON,a construction tech company,along with Lennar,a home construction company and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG),an architecture company,are teaming up to develop Wolf Ranch—a 100-home,3D-printed community.
“Wolf Ranch marks the largest community of its kind in development in the world and in partnership with one of the largest home builders in the country,Lennar,” Dmitri Julius,chief of special projects at ICON,told Fox News Digital.
The partnership between Austin-based ICON and Lennar “offers a promising path towards an alternate method of delivering technology-driven homes that meet the rising demand in desirable communities,” Julius added.
Printing for Wolf Ranch started in the fall of 2022—and reservations for homes are set to begin on June 10,2023.The overall goal for Wolf Ranch is to “get people excited that the future of homebuilding is here,” Julius also said.
ICON and its team are building a community with new innovative technology.“By combining innovative robotics,software and advanced materials,we are creating beautiful,resilient homes co-designed by a world-renowned architecture firm,BIG,that are technologically advanced,environmentally sustainable and architecturally striking,” Julius told Fox News Digital.
Those at ICON,Lennar and BIG believe now is a good time to get started on this project because of America’s housing shortage.“This problem is a problem of scale(规模) and the solution also has to be at scale,” Julius said.
“In the future,we believe robots and drones will build entire neighborhoods,towns and cities,” he added.“We hope to look back at Lennar’s Wolf Ranch community as the place where robotic construction at a large scale began.”
Georgetown is one of the fastest growing suburbs north of Austin,according to Julius,making it an ideal location to break ground.
While ICON is creating the first neighborhood entirely made of 3D-printed homes,this isn’t the first time 3D homes in America.In 2021,Habitat for Humanity partnered with Alquist to build the first-ever 3D-printed,habited home.
1.Why is Wolf Ranch to be developed

A.Two companies are teaming up to develop it.
B.It will be the first 3D-printed neighborhood in the world.
C.It will be environmentally friendly with common structure.
D.It was designed by a remarkable architecture firm,ICON.

A.There is a severe housing shortage in the U.S.
B.It is a good time to start developing Wolf Ranch now.
C.Wolf Ranch will be the largest community in America.
D.Inadequate housing is a common problem of the world.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Wolf Ranch,Your Most Desirable Community

Passage 3
Growing up,Pittsburgh native Judy Baumgartner saw big plastic pipes from industrial plants going into the Ohio River.This was during the 1960s and 1970s,when industrial plants still dominated the city’s waterfront.Pittsburgh’s steel,coal and other industries had long sustained the local economy,but they also released pollution into the water.
Many of those industries have largely disappeared now.Baumgartner assumed the Ohio River was in good health.
The river is much healthier than it was 50 years ago.Congress passed groundbreaking legislation,the Clean Water Act,in 1972,which helped to clean up polluted waterways like the Ohio River.
But the river—which supplies drinking water to 5 million people and is home to more than 150 species of fish—is still under threat,according to a report released this week from the conservation advocacy organization American Rivers.
For nearly four decades,American Rivers has been identifying the most endangered rivers in the U.S. and creates its annual list.This year,the report lists 10 rivers as endangered.A section of the Colorado River,which flows through Grand Canyon National Park,is the most endangered river in the country.
The Colorado River supplies millions of people throughout the West with water for drinking and agriculture.Prolonged drought worsened by climate change,however,has left the river’s reservoirs insecurely low.That means there’s less water to send past Glen Canyon Dam and into the Colorado River,which flows through the Grand Canyon.
Just like the Colorado River,climate change also threatens the Ohio River,along with legacy pollution and new industrial pollution.
Protecting this precious resource is essential.The organization is calling on Congress to designate(指定) the Ohio River as a federally protected water system,which would help fund its restoration.Protecting the Ohio River should be a priority because it will become an even more crucial freshwater source as other parts of the country,like the West and Southwest,struggle with water scarcity and drought.
1.What does the author want to show by telling the story of Judy Baumgartner
A.Judy thought the Ohio River was in good health in the past.
B.Industrial factories were major contributors to pollution.
C.The Ohio River was seriously polluted but now it’s better.
D.Industrial development has both advantages and disadvantages.
2.What is the root cause of the Colorado River’s being endangered
A.Legacy pollution.
B.Its reservoirs’ low levels.
C.New industrial pollution.
D.Acute shortage of rainfall.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.The Ohio River is important to the whole country.
B.The whole country is suffering from lack of water.
C.The Ohio River is a federally protected water system.
D.There will be a special fund to restore the Ohio River.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.The annual list of the most endangered rivers.
B.Protecting the Ohio River should be a priority.
C.There is no delay in protecting the Colorado and Ohio rivers.
D.The Colorado and Ohio rivers are among the most endangered.

1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,因为400磅的体重,他不能和女儿一起玩,他看到了女儿脸上的失望,这成了一个父亲要改变的动力。因此C项正确。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,在接下来的20年里,他体重增加了200磅,几乎每天都喝酒,并因受袭击而患有PTSD。他把它藏了将近25年。虽然看起来就像酒吧里那个快乐的家伙,但喝酒是为了逃避。 因此这里逃避的是PTSD这种疾病,因此D项正确。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据后面的“saying the back of his neck looked like ‘a pack of sausages’”可知,说他脖子后面看起来像“一包香肠”,显然是在取笑他,因此选A项。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了一名男子在遭受暴力袭击之后体重剧增,他不能与女儿一起玩耍让女儿失望。女儿失望的表情让他下决心减肥,并且在他瘦身近五年之后,女儿依然是他的动力。因此D项正确。
Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。在美国,人们对理想社区的需求不断增长,住房短缺成了一个问题。三个各有专长的建筑公司正在合作开发Wolf Ranch,一个拥有100个家庭的3D打印社区。
1.D 细节理解题。从第四段中的“meet the rising demand in desirable communities”可知,开发这种3D社区的目的是满足人们对美好社区的需求,而不是对房子的需求,因此D项正确,B项错误。
2.B 细节理解题。从第二段的“ICON,a construction tech company,along with Lennar...are teaming up to develop Wolf Ranch”可知,是三家公司联合开发的Wolf Ranch,因此A项错误;从第二段的“Wolf Ranch—a 100-home,3D-printed community”和最后一段的“the first neighborhood entirely made of 3D-printed homes”可知,B项正确。从第六段的“environmentally sustainable and architecturally striking”可知,这种社区环保而且架构上引人注目,因此C项错误;从第六段的“co-designed by a world-renowned architecture firm,BIG”可知,D项错误。因此选B项。
3.A 推理判断题。由第七段可知,由于美国的住房短缺,现在是开始这个项目的好时机。由于这是一个规模问题,因此解决方案也必须是从规模上解决,由此可知,美国的住房短缺问题非常严重,因此A项正确。
4.D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了三家公司正在合作开发Wolf Ranch,一个拥有100个家庭的3D打印社区。因为美国的住房短缺,现在开始这个项目,以此来开辟一个新途径,满足人们对理想社区日益增长的需求。
Passage 3
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科罗拉多河和俄亥俄河成为全美最濒危的河流的主要原因,以及政府可能要采取的措施。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,在20世纪60年代和70年代,Judy Baumgartner从小就看到工厂的大塑料管向水中排放污染物,那时候,钢铁、煤炭和其他工业长期以来支撑着当地经济。第二段说,现在许多这样的行业基本上消失了,因此他认为俄亥俄河很健康了。由此可知C项正确。
2.D 细节理解题。从第六段可知,气候变化导致的长期干旱加剧了科罗拉多河的水库处于不安全的低位,这意味着通过格伦峡谷大坝进入,流经大峡谷的科罗拉多河的水量减少了。因此,河流濒危是由长期干旱造成的,故选D项。
3.A 推理判断题。最后一段的第一句承接上段,这里的this precious resource指的是俄亥俄河。这句话也是整段的主旨句,意思是保护好这条河至关重要。最后一句说,保护俄亥俄河应该是一个优先事项,因为它将成为更重要的淡水来源,而美国其他地区正与缺水和干旱作斗争。因此A项正确。
4.D 主旨大意题。全文介绍了由于气候变化、工业污染等原因,科罗拉多河和俄亥俄河成了全美最濒危的河流。这两条河流是提供饮用水和农业用水的重要淡水来源,因此,政府将会采取措施保护它们。
