Top Stays for Travelers Who
Prioritize Sustainability
Here’s a look at four hotels that are taking the green lead, bravely committing to a net-zero future.
Boutiquehotel Stadthalle
In a restored turn-of-the-century house surrounded by solar panels and garden beds, the 79-room hotel has been running on solar power and other renewables since 2009. Its rooms are equipped with recycled wine bottle chandeliers(枝形吊灯). Breakfast is in the garden among herb pots and flowers. Up above, the flower roof attracts many butterflies and bees.
Hackengasse 20, 1150 Wien, Vienna; +43-1982-4272
room2 Chiswick
Recognizing the climate crisis, room2 owner Robert Godwi spent two years planning a "whole life" net-zero hotel. There are a host of invisible elements like a blue roof that changes rainwater into energy. A biodiverse green roof uses 200 tons of soil and wildflowers aimed at absorbing CO .
10 Windmill Rd, Chiswick, London; +4420-3988-0220
Comfort Hotel Solna
In June 2021, Scandinavia welcomed its first certificated "zero-energy" hotel. The 336-room hotel lies a few miles north of central Stockholm. The building has 2,500 square meters of colorful solar cells which provide energy to cool and heat the building. This "energy-smart" hotel shows off Nordic design while being relatively easy on the wallet.
Evenemangsgatan 48, 169 56 Solna, Sweden; +468-1216-1480
Four Elements Hotel
This hotel uses the wind to produce energy for air conditioning and heating. It uses solar energy to produce electricity and heat water. The "Earth, Wind & Fire" idea came from engineer Dr Ben Bronsema. The top-floor Wind Sky Bar and the Herbs Garden restaurant of the hotel are must-tries.

Jason Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image has caused controversy (争议).
In August, Allen, a game designer from Pueblo West, won first place in the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image was made with Midjourney—an artificial system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示符).
Allen’s winning image is one of three such images he entered in the competition. The definition for the category in which Allen competed states that digital art refers to works that use digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Allen used Midjourney to create his image.
Midjourney is one of a growing number of AI image generators. Others include Google Research’s Imagen and OpenAI’s DALL-E 2. Anyone can use Midjourney, while DALL-E 2 requires an invitation, and Imagen has not been opened up to users outside Google.
Whether these tools can truly make art or assist humans in making art came into sharp focus not long after Allen’s win Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image. “This is really bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics.” one artist wrote.
Cal Duran, an artist and art teacher who was one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of Midjourney, he didn’t realize that it was generated by AI when judging it. Still, he stuck by his decision to award it first place in its category, calling it a beautiful piece. “There’s a lot involved in this piece and I think AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way.” he said.
Allen won’t yet say what the text prompt was behind his winning image—he’s planning to keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related work that he hopes will be finished later this year.
4. Which of the following is most accessible to common users to create images
A. Imagen. B. Google. C. Midjourney. D. DALL-E 2.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “came into sharp focus”
A. Went viral. B. Be in a dilemma.
C. Made people surprised. D. Come under the spotlight.
6. What is Cal Duran’s attitude toward using AI to create artworks
A. Supportive. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. AI Defeated Human Artists in the Art Field
B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Were Angry
C. An Artist Won State Fair Art Contest and Laughed
D. An Artist from Pueblo West Was Defending His Work
C
Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, the chances are that we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, enlarge our eyes, and sharpen our jawlines. With a couple of ta ps on our mobile phones, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is that when we simply edit out our imperfections, we’re also changing the way we look at ourselves.
Last month, researchers published the article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered Photographs. The article analyzed photo editing apps’ bad influences on people’s self-respect and their possibility of causing anxiety about appearance. The researchers also warned that such apps might make the young generation misjudge themselves. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article read.
In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous persons. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tiji on Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.
“Now you’ve got this daily comparison of your real self to the fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they might become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “Because between you and the world is a mirror, and it’s a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You can’t seem to put it down,” she told The Washington Post. So when we look at ourselves in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”
8. Before uploading a photo to social media, we probably ______.
A. use an app to fix our photos B. use a cream to smooth our skin
C. present the best version of the text D. have an operation to widen our eyes
9. What can we learn about photo editing apps from Paragraph 2
A. They are beneficial to people. B. They can make us more beautiful.
C. They tend to trigger appearance anxiety. D. They help people judge realistic beauty.
10. Why do many young people suffer an identity trouble with appearance
A. Because they compare their looks to those of celebrities.
B. Because beauty standards are merely set by social media.
C. Because their self-worth is associated with their appearance.
D. Because their self-worth depends on their own likes and dislikes.
11. According to Engeln, we should ______.
A. take a mirror with us everywhere B. feel content with our actual images
C. compare our real self to the fake self D. try to look good in the filtered photos
D
Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the most important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it. ”
One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book's advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe's experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive (易接受的) to misinformation and conspiracy theories(阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation(两极化) among them.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives” , almost entirely older men — including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual(相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire” , which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12,000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the government to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
12. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Promoting people's insight into climate change.
B. Introducing presentation skills with TED talks.
C. Sharing communication tips on climate change.
D. Developing critical thinking through literature.
13 Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel and interesting.
C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Well-based and workable.
14. What did Hayhoe do to win over the "Dismissives"
A. She changed their political identity.
B. She sought common ground by bonding.
C. She challenged their fundamental beliefs.
D. She provided more facts about climate change.
15. What does the author intend to say by telling the story in Paragraph 5
A. Talks can affect climate decision-making.
B. The shift to renewable energy is unstoppable.
C. Policymakers turn a blind eye to climate change.
D. We need to call on people to prepare for the climate crisis.

Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things. I was capable of more.
So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to become a guard "
“The thought hadn't crossed my mind."
“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”
Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me-You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
Work started soon. A well- intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.

Jason Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image has caused controversy (争议).
In August, Allen, a game designer from Pueblo West, won first place in the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image was made with Midjourney—an artificial system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示符).
Allen’s winning image is one of three such images he entered in the competition. The definition for the category in which Allen competed states that digital art refers to works that use digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Allen used Midjourney to create his image.
Midjourney is one of a growing number of AI image generators. Others include Google Research’s Imagen and OpenAI’s DALL-E 2. Anyone can use Midjourney, while DALL-E 2 requires an invitation, and Imagen has not been opened up to users outside Google.
Whether these tools can truly make art or assist humans in making art came into sharp focus not long after Allen’s win. Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image. “This is really bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics.” one artist wrote.
Cal Duran, an artist and art teacher who was one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of Midjourney, he didn’t realize that it was generated by AI when judging it. Still, he stuck by his decision to award it first place in its category, calling it a beautiful piece. “There’s a lot involved in this piece and I think AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way.” he said.
Allen won’t yet say what the text prompt was behind his winning image—he’s planning to keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related work that he hopes will be finished later this year.
4. Which of the following is most accessible to common users to create images
A. Imagen. B. Google. C. Midjourney. D. DALL-E 2.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “came into sharp focus”
A. Went viral. B. Be in a dilemma.
C. Made people surprised. D. Come under the spotlight.
6. What is Cal Duran’s attitude toward using AI to create artworks
A. Supportive. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. AI Defeated Human Artists in the Art Field
B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Were Angry
C. An Artist Won State Fair Art Contest and Laughed
D. An Artist from Pueblo West Was Defending His Work
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。讲述了Jason Allen利用人工智能图片生成工具创作的画作在一次美术比赛中得了第一名。人们对此发表了不同的看法。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Anyone can use Midjourney，while DALL-E2 requires an invitation, and Imagen has not been opened up to users outside Google.(任何人都可以使用 Midjourney，而DALL-E2需要邀请，而Imagen尚未向Google以外的用户开放。)”可知，任何人都可以使用Midjourney，DALL-E 2需要邀请才能使用，Imagen只对谷歌用户开放。因此，普通用户最容易用Midjourney来生成图片。故选C项。
【5题详解】
短语猜测题。根据后文“Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image. (一些艺术家对他的胜利感到愤怒，因为他使用人工智能来创造图像。)”以及第一段最后一句“Now, his award-winning image has caused controversy(争议). (现在，他的获奖形象引起了争议。)”可知，这些AI工具能够真的被用来创作艺术在Allen获胜后引发了争议，came into sharp focus意为“成为讨论的焦点”。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Cal Duran所说的““There’s a lot involved in this piece and I think AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way.” he said. (“这件作品涉及很多内容，我认为人工智能技术可能会为那些可能不会以传统方式成为艺术家的人提供更多机会，”他说。)”可知，他认为人工智能技术可能会给那些可能无法以传统方式发现自己是艺术家的人更多机会，以及上文“Still, he stuck by his decision to award it first place in its category, calling it a beautiful piece. (尽管如此，他还是坚持自己的决定，将它评为同类产品的第一名，称其为一件美丽的作品。)”提到的他坚持把奖项评给Jason Allen可推知，他支持利用人工智能创作艺术作品。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并且根据文章第二句“Now, his award-winning image has caused controversy (争议). (现在，他的获奖形象引起了争议。)”和第五段第二句“Some artists were angered by his win because of his use of AI to create the image. (一些艺术家对他的胜利感到愤怒，因为他使用人工智能来创造图像。)”可知，本文主要讲述了一幅由AI完成的画作获得第一名后引发的争论。故选B项。

Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, the chances are that we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, enlarge our eyes, and sharpen our jawlines. With a couple of ta ps on our mobile phones, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is that when we simply edit out our imperfections, we’re also changing the way we look at ourselves.
Last month, researchers published the article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered Photographs. The article analyzed photo editing apps’ bad influences on people’s self-respect and their possibility of causing anxiety about appearance. The researchers also warned that such apps might make the young generation misjudge themselves. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article read.
In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous persons. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tiji on Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.
“Now you’ve got this daily comparison of your real self to the fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they might become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “Because between you and the world is a mirror, and it’s a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You can’t seem to put it down,” she told The Washington Post. So when we look at ourselves in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”
8. Before uploading a photo to social media, we probably ______.
A. use an app to fix our photos B. use a cream to smooth our skin
C. present the best version of the text D. have an operation to widen our eyes
9. What can we learn about photo editing apps from Paragraph 2
A. They are beneficial to people. B. They can make us more beautiful.
C. They tend to trigger appearance anxiety. D. They help people judge realistic beauty.
10. Why do many young people suffer an identity trouble with appearance
A. Because they compare their looks to those of celebrities.
B Because beauty standards are merely set by social media.
C. Because their self-worth is associated with their appearance.
D. Because their self-worth depends on their own likes and dislikes.
11. According to Engeln, we should ______.
A. take a mirror with us everywhere B. feel content with our actual images
C. compare our real self to the fake self D. try to look good in the filtered photos
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了照片编辑软件对人们自尊的不良影响，以及可能导致的外观焦虑。英国整容医生Tiji on Esho 认为对于今天的年轻人来说，美丽的标准很可能是由他们在社交媒体上看到的东西决定的，即他们的自我价值感基于外表的好坏。就此心理学教授 Renee Engel n 认为人们应该接受自己真实的外表。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, the chances are that we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, enlarge our eyes, and sharpen our jawlines.(在把自己的照片上传到社交媒体之前， 我们很有可能会用一款应用来光滑皮肤、放大眼睛、削尖下巴)”可知，在上传照片到社交媒体之前，我们可能会使用一个应用程序来修我们的照片。故选 A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The article analyzed photo editing apps’ bad influences on people’s self-respect and their possibility of causing anxiety about appearance.(这篇文章分析了照片编辑软件对人们自尊的不良影响，以及它们可能引起人们对外表的焦虑。)”可知，照片编辑应用程序可能会让人们对自己的外表感到焦虑。故选 C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tiji on Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.(“从出生起， 他们就生活在一个社交平台的时代， 在这个时代， 他们的自我价值感完全取决于他们拥有的点赞和粉丝的数量，这与他们的外表有多好有关，”英国美容医生蒂杰恩·埃索在接受《独立报》采访时表示。这就是为什么许多年轻人在外表方面会遇到身份问题。)”可知一谈到外表，许多年轻人都有身份问题，因为他们的自我价值感取决于他们的外表。故选 C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So when we look at ourselves in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”(所以当我们对着镜子看自己的时候， 我们不应该想，“我看起来和过滤后的照片一样好吗 ”相反，我们应该这样想：“我感觉很好;我有我的健康。”)”可知，根据Engeln 的观点，我们应该满足于自己的实际外表。故选 B。
D
Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the most important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it. ”
One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book's advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe's experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive (易接受的) to misinformation and conspiracy theories(阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation(两极化) among them.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives” , almost entirely older men — including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual(相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire” , which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12,000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the government to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
12. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Promoting people's insight into climate change.
B. Introducing presentation skills with TED talks.
C. Sharing communication tips on climate change.
D. Developing critical thinking through literature.
13. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel and interesting.
C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Well-based and workable.
14. What did Hayhoe do to win over the "Dismissives"
A. She changed their political identity.
B. She sought common ground by bonding.
C. She challenged their fundamental beliefs.
D. She provided more facts about climate change.
15. What does the author intend to say by telling the story in Paragraph 5
A. Talks can affect climate decision-making.
B. The shift to renewable energy is unstoppable.
C. Policymakers turn a blind eye to climate change.
D. We need to call on people to prepare for the climate crisis.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A

第二节 （满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things. I was capable of more.
So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to become a guard "
“The thought hadn't crossed my mind."
“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”
Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me-You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
Work started soon. A well- intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Something must have gone wrong with him” I thought to myself. Sure enough, with a closer look, I found the boy waving his hands desperately. I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed. By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, his head hanging down, which filled my heart with fright and concern. I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck. I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing. Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, giving him mouth-to-mouth breathing and doing CPR as trained. Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating. Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely. Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers. Exhausted, I sighed with relief. I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander. I’m happy I didn’t take the easy way out.
