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. 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.
26. 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
Fathers can give their children an educational advantage at primary school by reading, drawing and playing with them, according to a newly published report. Research led by the University of Leeds has found that children do better at primary school if their fathers regularly spend time with them on interactive engagement activities like reading, playing, telling stories, drawing and singing.
Analysing primary school test scores for five- and seven-year-olds, the researchers used a representative sample of nearly 5,000 mother-father households in England from the Millenium Cohort Study.
According to the research, dads who regularly drew, played and read with their three-year-olds helped their children do better at school by age five. Dads being involved at age five also helped improve scores in seven-year-olds’ Key Stage Assessments.
Dr Helen Norman, who led the research, said, “Mothers still tend to assume the primary care r role and therefore tend to do the most childcare, but if fathers enthusiastically engage in childcare too, it significantly increases the likelihood of children getting better grades in primary school. This is why encouraging and supporting fathers to share childcare with the mother, from an early stage in the child's life, is critical.”
Dads’ involvement impacted positively on their children’s school achievement regardless of the child's gender(性别), race, age in the school year and household income, according to the report.
There were different effects when mums and dads took part in the same activities—the data showed that mums had more of an impact on young children's emotional and social behaviors than educational achievement.
The researchers recommend that dads carve out as much time as they can to engage in interactive activities with their children each week. For busy, working dads, even just ten minutes a day could potentially have educational benefits. They also recommend that schools and early years education providers routinely take both parents’ contact details (where possible) and develop strategies to engage fathers.
27. What can we learn about the research
A. Mums had more impact on young children's educational achievement.
B. Dads’ positive impact on kids learning had nothing to do with the gender.
C. Dads’ involvement at age 3 helped promote academic performance at age 7.
D. The researchers investigated nearly 5,000 single parent families in England.
28. Who may give his children the most educational advantage at primary school
A. A father who is totally busy with his work.
B. A father who is really good at playing basketball.
C. A father who has absolutely low household income.
D. A father who actively shares childcare with the mother.
29. What advice do the researchers offer on children's early years education
A. Dads should spare ten minutes a day to apparently benefit kids.
B. Dads should maximize time to interact with their kids each week.
C. Schools should generate strategies to involve parents in management.
D. Schools should regularly contact parents to develop mother-engagement.
30. What is the main idea of the text
A. It's crucial that fathers can have a lasting impact on children.
B. Young children can get brilliant childhood with father-engagement.
C. Fathers and mothers should share childcare in family early education.
D. Young children do better at school if their dads read and play with them.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something. Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses (量) — has several benefits.
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose. 31
When you step outside your comfort zone, it is fear that makes you feel alive, which is fun and exciting. The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline (肾上腺素), which in turn increases excitement and glucose (changed into energy). 32 A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
· 33 Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance, if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.
·Fear makes you aware of what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself: “When I have more time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passion, eat healthier or exercise more” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important.
34
Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run. 35 We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A. Fear helps you succeed.
B. “Later” is never ensured.
C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D. They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E. And every time you come through a challenge, you feel empowered.
F. Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.
G. Actually, it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.

第二节: 读后续写(满分 20分)
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。
Shoes are made for walking.
But Aamir, a homeless Indian boy, doubted it. Wandering the noisy railway platform(站台), he found one of his flip-flops (人字拖鞋) broken again. He hurried to a corner, sat down and tried to fix it, his bare foot pressing awkwardly against the ground. However, it was beyond repair.
He gave up and looked around aimlessly, staring at people’s shoes. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to two boyish legs wearing flawlessly(完美地) white socks and equally perfect black leather shoes, which were shining in the midday sun. It was a boy of his age. He couldn’t treasure his possessions too much because every ten seconds, he stopped, bent down and carefully wiped the dust from his shoes. His father was constantly glancing over and urging him, “Hurry up! The train is coming!”
Aamir’s eyes followed the father and son, but mostly the leather shoes, as if enchanted ( 被施魔法的). Imagining himself wearing them, the comfort from the good leather, and the jaw-dropping look on his friends’ faces, he couldn’t help flashing a big smile.
The bell of the train drew him back; the fancy-shoe boy and his father were about to get aboard. They tried to crowd into the doorway. However, the instant the boy entered the compartment (车厢), one of his shoes fell off and before he could pick it up, the train began to pull away.
The shoe was now lying alone on the platform. Aamir’s eyes lit up with excitement. Like an arrow, he shot for the shoe and then picked it up, holding it with both hands as if holding the Queen’s crown(王冠). After a few seconds of hesitating and looking from the shoe to the train and back, he began racing—with only one good shoe, his flip-flop.
He held the leather shoe up, trying to pass it to the boy through the window, who was desperately reaching out his hand as well. However, it was never close enough.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
That left Aamir no choice but to throw the shoe onto the rain. But when he raised his head, Aamir saw the other shoe thrown out of the train window.
