It was October 2005,and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
Yasmeen Lari,a 65-year-old architect,was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements,but she had never done disaster work before. Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here,she'd be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片) . With each passing day,she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission,spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris,bamboo and mud,Lari's shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local,cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari's Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018. "We need to believe in people's capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners,not victims. They know what to do,"says Lari.
Over the decades,Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941,she had an unconventional upbringing. At home,her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15,she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
At age 83,Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs,skills building and self-sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,"she says. “That doesn't allow them to serve humanity as much as they could. ”
24. What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs
A. She felt considerably proud to do disaster-relief work.
B. She started a brand-new volunteer working experience.
C. She was good at designing earthquake-resistant houses.
D. She reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete.
25. How did Lari make her design practical and environmental
A. By creating an ecosystem.
B. By strengthening local buildings.
C. By using local sustainable materials.
D. By watching DIY videos on YouTube.
26. Why did Lari decide to apply to architecture school
A. Her interest in architecture drove her.
B. Her father encouraged her to path unusual.
C. Her father talked about the demand for architects.
D. Her rich family allowed her to pursue the most of dream.
27. Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari
A. Sensitive and brave. B. Determined and cooperative.
C. Honest and generous. D. Sympathetic and eco-responsible.
C
Flights are getting bumpier(更颠簸的)as the climate changes,scientists haverevealed. And it is only set to continue or worsen in the coming years.
The study,conducted by scientists at the University of Reading in the U. K. , shows an increase in clear-air turbulence unexpected air currents in cloudless air. These invisible currents are potentially dangerous to aircraft. The researchers said the increases are in line with the effects of climate change.
Research in the past decade has shown that climate change will increase clear-air turbulence in the future. “We now have evidence suggesting that the increase has already begun,”said professor Paul Williams,an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading. “We should be investing in improved turbulence forecasting and detection systems,to prevent the rougher air from translating into bumpier flights in the coming decades,"he added.
The study focused on one of the world's busiest flight routes over the North Atlantic Ocean. The results show that it has seen a 55%increase in annual duration of severe turbulence. In1979,the duration recorded was 17. 7 hours. In 2020,it was 27. 4 hours. Turbulence increased by 37%,from 70 hours to 96. 1 hours. The increase is due to warmer air from CO emissions. This increases a sudden change in wind speed or direction in jet streams.
Clear-air turbulence is most severe over mountainous areas and also close to thunderstorms. While it hasn't been known to cause aircraft crashes,it has caused damage to aircraft and injuries to passengers. “Airlines will need to start thinking about how they will manage the increased turbulence. It costs the industry $150 to $500 million annually in the United States alone,”Ph. Dresearcher Mark Prosser said.
“Every additional minute spent travelling through turbulence increases wear-and-tear (磨损)on the aircraft,and the risk of injuries to passengers and flight attendants,”he added.
28. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The increase in turbulence damages aircraft.
B. The turbulence duration has increased greatly.
C. Climate change contributes to bumpier flights.
D. Flights routes are in line with the climate change.
29. What can we learn from what professor Paul Williams said
A. He was relieved that turbulence was not dangerous.
B. He was confident of the future of the prevention systems.
C. He was aware of what to do to reduce bumpier flights.
D. He was worried flights would become bumpier and bumpier.
30. Why are the figures listed in the fourth paragraph
A. To reveal the great change in turbulence duration over time.
B. To introduce how terrible the flights were in turbulence duration.
C. To tell readers about the effect of turbulence on the flight route.
D. To stress the relationship between increased turbulence and flights.
31. What do we know about clear-air turbulence
A. It is the most powerful to aircraft around the world.
B. It leads to aircraft crashes and climate change.
C. It can both damage airlines and kill passengers.
D. It puts the airlines under huge financial pressure.
D
As a kid,I hated having to memorise those long-winded speeches of Macbeth and Hamlet. Only later did I realise how brilliant Shakespeare was and how knowing his plays gives you a facility for language and deep insight into human psychology.
Now,400 years later,in today's world,quick rewards,and smooth-talking influencers,the dishonest characters in Shakespeare's works are still very much alive. For instance,whenever I see a politician defend himself on TV with righteous indignation(义愤填膺),I remember a line from the play Hamlet:“The Lady doth protest too much,me-thinks. "It is spoken in response to the overacting of a character in the play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle had killed his father. Today the phrase is commonly used to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity.
A good education grounds you in permanent wisdom that helps you cope with all your victories and disasters. Learning algebra( 代 数 )and statistics helps you make better financial decisions and basic knowledge about economics helps you get out of the stock market before the bubble bursts. I know how hard it can be for your teenage brain to focus on things that don't make sense in your life right now. But my advice is to do it anyway because one day this knowledge will come in handy.
Take,for example,the 18th century English economist and scholar Thomas Robert Malthus wrote about how the human population was growing at too fast a rate to be sustainable. After reading his works Charles Darwin developed the theory of biological evolution.
People often say that in the age of AI,you don't look for jobs you look for opportunities instead. To recognize these,you will need to be prepared. More specifically,you should cherish the opportunity to learn new things while never losing sight of the basic principle. The great thing about being grounded in the basics of different areas of study is that you can mix and match them to apply them to all sorts of situations.
32. What does the underlined word"ground"mean in the third paragraph
A. Lay the foundation for. B. Keep up with.
C. Take advantage of. D. Make the most of.
33. What is the purpose of mentioning the story of Thomas Robert Malthus
A. To show his deep insight into sustainable development.
B. To prove the success of Darwin is based on his ideas.
C. To draw readers'attention to the fast-growing population.
D. To inspire everyone to make efforts to learn skills.
34. How can we seize opportunities in the age of AI
A. By making preparations for finding jobs.
B. By grasping knowledge on the basic rules.
C. By applying theories to different situations.
D. By developing practical and critical theories.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. How the Opportunities Hit Me on the Head
B. Reading Shakespeare Opens the Door to Wisdom
C. Good Education Pushes Individuals Hard Forward
D. You Never Know When What You Know Will Come in Handy

In July,my dad,mom and I flew to Whitehorse to care for my sick old grandfather. We planned to spend two months in the town of my youth.
A few days before we arrived,my grandfather called to say he was being flown to Vancouver for another operation. My dad and mom had already booked the air tickets and their leave from work,so even though my grandfather wouldn't be there, we made the trip north anyway.
Grandfather kept a puppy. It was the only companion of my grandfather while we were not in Whitehorse. He had adopted it from a local shelter(two years earlier and renamed him“Scruffy”because it looked untidy. Its fur was messy. Its ears were like two wings when it ran. While we were alone in my grandfather's house with nothing to do,Scruffy saved us. The dog needed to be walked. Those walks were chances to re-visit where I'd grown up. I had left that small town behind as soon as I finished high school and had rarely visited home. Scruffy and I took my family to the school,where my picture still hung. We walked through the forest where I once rode my bike. With no one to talk to when my parents were occupied with their own business. I found myself chatting with Scruffy. He was too excited to see me. I gave him many nicknames:Scruffster,Scruff-man,Scruffmaster. He would happily respond to them all.
By the fall,we were back in Toronto and my grandfather was back in Whitehorse. My mom and her brothers took turns flying up to take care of him.

第二节 （满分 25分）
One possible version
We visited my grandfather again in November. Weak and tired, he was always napping in the bed,
with Scruffy lying beside on the floor. Bathing in the soft and warm sunlight pouring through the
window, Scruffy kept grandfather company in silence, occasionally raising his head when
Grandfather wanted to roll over. Even when we helped him have medicine, Scruffy just straightened
his back and watched us until he lay back. Sadly, this harsh winter took my grandfather away,
leaving us and Scruffy behind.
After Grandfather’s death this winter, we had to rehome Scruffy. The whole family had a
discussion together about his new home. Scruffy seemed to be lost in great grief, still remained
seated beside the grandfather’s bed and quit eating the whole day. With no one to talk to, I tried to
stroke and chat with Scruffy. Gradually, the dog’s eyes lit up. Finding the excitement in his eyes, I
broke into the meeting room, shouting. “I will take Scruffy home.” Yes, it is the comfort between
human and animals that heals the pain in the heart and unites us together.
