When it comes to architectural accomplishments, humans like to think they stand at the top of the pyramid. That is to underestimate the astonishing achievements of social insects: termites (白蚁) raise skyscraping nests and honeybees fashion geometric combs. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bees, which weave combs of unequalled variety and complexity.
A group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro in Belgium, reports that, like humans, these tiny creatures are capable of building according to different architectural traditions handed down over generations.
To collect their data, Ms Di Pietro and her colleagues observed over 400 colonies (群体) of the stingless bee species in a large apiary (养蜂场) in Brazil over two extended periods in 2022 and 2023. Around 95% of the colonies exhibited combs built in horizontal layers, like tiered (分层) wedding cakes, while the remainder adopted a spiral structure. In each case the tradition was maintained over many generations of worker bees. To rule out a genetic explanation for the different styles, the researchers transplanted workers from colonies built in one tradition to colonies built in the other. The imported workers soon switched to the local style.
Dr Wenseleers, who runs the lab, put forward a theory that the bees may switch styles to fix the extremely small construction errors made by their predecessors (前辈). In this process, multiple organisms indirectly affect each other’s behaviour through the traces they leave on their environment. To test it, the researchers introduced a hint of spiral to horizontal-layer combs, and found that it caused the bees to switch to building spirals. That is strong evidence in favour of Dr Wenseleers’s theory.
These results have left observers of animal culture abuzz, as they suggest that stingless bees can transmit different building traditions across generations without being instructed by their peers. For Dr Whiten, the new finding indicates that more complex animal behaviours—the building of nests by chimpanzees, for instance—may also have arisen through such indirect transmission.
1.Why does the author mention termites and honeybees in paragraph 1
A. To compare various species’ accomplishments.
B. To illustrate insects’ building capability.
C. To highlight the traditions of stingless bees.
D. To draw attention to certain social insects.
2.How was the study conducted
A. By comparing different comb structures.
B. By analyzing the data collected.
C. By observing bees’ building behaviors.
D. By intervening worker bees.
3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4
A. The assumption. B. The environment.
C. The process. D. The behavior.
4.What is the text mainly about
A. True master architects in nature.
B. Architectural accomplishments made by insects.
C. Bees’ ability to preserve traditions.
D. Architectural wonders of the insect world.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city — in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community. At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments. She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials. The best judges of how a city should be — and how it should develop — are the local residents themselves. Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks. The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form. The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people. There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people’s interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact. Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality. They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”: shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
5.What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community
A. Efficient public transport. B. Strong interaction between people.
C. Uniform style of buildings. D. A comparatively large population.
6.Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development
A. Local residents. B. Government officials.
C. City planners. D. Construction workers.
7.How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built
A. Lined with plants. B. Painted with clear signs.
C. Tightly connected. D. Convenient for the old.
8.According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of ________.
A. pride B. comfort C. security D. urgency

Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths”. 2 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness”. On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 5 We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.

限时练31
A 本文是一篇说明文。生物学家的一项研究表明，蜜蜂也能像人类一样保存并延续传统。
1.B 写作意图题。由第一段前两句“说到建筑成就，人类总认为自己站在金字塔的顶端。这是低估了群居昆虫的惊人成就：白蚁筑起高耸的巢穴，蜜蜂打造的几何体蜂房。由此可知, 提到白蚁和蜜蜂是为说明群居昆虫的建筑能力。
2.C 推理判断题。由第三段前三句“为收集数据，Di Pietro女士和她的同事在2022年和2023年的两个较长时期内，在巴西的一个大型养蜂场观察了400多个无刺蜜蜂群。大约95%的蜂群建的是水平层的蜂房，就像分层的婚礼蛋糕，而其余5%则采用螺旋结构。在这两种情况下，这种建造传统都由许多代的工蜂维持下来。”可知, 这项研究是通过观察无刺蜜蜂的建筑习性进行的。故选C。
3.A 代词指代题。第四段第一句提出Dr Wenseleers的理论, 然后研究人员把螺旋体放入水平蜂房之中，发现蜜蜂开始建造螺旋体蜂房。由此说明这种做法是为了验证他的假设，故A项正确。
4.C 主旨大意题。本文属于研究发现, 第二段“A group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro in Belgium, reports that, like humans, these tiny creatures are capable of building according to different architectural traditions handed down over generations.”中that引导的宾语从句内容即为文章主旨：像人类一样，这些微小的生物能够根据世代相传的不同建筑传统筑巢，故C项正确。
B 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了Jacobs一生致力于推进一种独特的城市愿景，尤其关注是什么造就了一个成功的城市社区。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments. (她构想的核心在于，城市生活应当充满活力且丰富多彩，人们能够在密集且令人兴奋的城市环境中相互交流。)”可知，Jacobs认为对于一个成功的城市社区来说，人与人之间的强烈互动是最重要的。故选B。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For Jacobs (对于Jacobs来说)”以及“The best judges of how a city should be — and how it should develop — are the local residents themselves. (一个城市应该是什么样的(它应该如何发展)，最好的评判者是当地居民自己。)”可知，Jacobs认为对城市发展做出决定的应该是当地居民。故选A。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better. (人们居住的街道应当是纵横交错的人行道构成的紧密格局，这样人们才能相遇、交谈并相互了解。这样一系列复杂但最终丰富了个人经历的相遇，有助于人们更好地了解自己的邻居和社区。)”可知，Jacobs建议修建连接紧密的人行道。故选C。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”： shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood. (它们也是安全的地方，因为人口密度高意味着有更多“街头的眼睛”：店主和当地人熟悉自己的区域，并密切留意着社区的情况。)”可知，Jacobs认为，“街头的眼睛”给人带来一种安全的感觉。故选C。
七选五
本文是一篇说明文。文章提出通过写作练习可以让我们在犯错后学会如何自我谅解，并给出了写作练习的几个要点，点明了犯错的积极意义。
1.D 第一段前两句提到“为自己的错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因错误而过分自责。人都是会犯错误的”。因此，既然犯错是人之常情，所以不要过分自责，学会原谅自己也同样重要。D项符合语境，呼应上文。空后一句提出自我原谅的解决办法：你可以用以下的写作训练帮你做到这一点；句中的this指代D项中的“show yourself some forgiveness”。
2.B 本段先介绍：写下个人优点，空后举例说明你可能会写下的个人优点——乐于助人、有创造性、慷慨、善于倾听、有趣等等。最后一句总结说明这些写下的品质不需要有多高尚。由此可知只需要写一些自己引以为傲的品质就行了。B项符合语境，呼应上文。B项与空前一句句式同为祈使句，且选项中的“all the characteristics”是对下文caring, creative, generous, a good listener, fun to be around的品质的概括，且与下一句中的They呼应。characteristics与personality属于近义词复现。
3.F 上文介绍：写下“善行”，并且列出一些你为他人做的好事。下文列举了一些生活中琐碎的好事的例子。本空是对本段的总结，再次重申无论这件好事是什么、有多小，要把善行记下来。故F项能够总结本段。
4.C 本段介绍：你可能想要亲朋好友来帮你增加你的列表，空后提到：这样，你们就能交流想法，谈谈你们各自的特殊之处和你们个性中的闪光点。故空处应该是对此处的进一步讨论或建议：他们甚至可能喜欢尝试做这个练习。 C项是前文内容的递进，也是后文的过渡。选项中的They指代“a friend or family member”, “doing the exercise”和上文的“help add to your list”是前后承接的关系。
5.G 本段总结，前文提到“虽然大多数人都是从错误中学习而并非从成功中学习已是陈词滥调，但事实确实如此”，后文提到“我们总是在改变和学习，因此犯错是一个发展和成长的积极途径”。由此可知，无论什么错误都不是不变的，人不会总犯相同的错误，即错误不是你性格中固有的一面。G项符合语境，选项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect”与下文的changing呼应。

When it comes to architectural accomplishments, humans like to think they stand at the top of the pyramid. That is to underestimate the astonishing achievements of social insects: termites (白蚁) raise skyscraping nests and honeybees fashion geometric combs. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bees, which weave combs of unequalled variety and complexity.
A group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro in Belgium, reports that, like humans, these tiny creatures are capable of building according to different architectural traditions handed down over generations.
To collect their data, Ms Di Pietro and her colleagues observed over 400 colonies (群体) of the stingless bee species in a large apiary (养蜂场) in Brazil over two extended periods in 2022 and 2023. Around 95% of the colonies exhibited combs built in horizontal layers, like tiered (分层) wedding cakes, while the remainder adopted a spiral structure. In each case the tradition was maintained over many generations of worker bees.
To rule out a genetic explanation for the different styles, the researchers transplanted workers from colonies built in one tradition to colonies built in the other. The imported workers soon switched to the local style.
Dr Wenseleers, who runs the lab, put forward a theory that the bees may switch styles to fix the extremely small construction errors made by their predecessors (前辈). In this process, multiple organisms indirectly affect each other’s behaviour through the traces they leave on their environment. To test it, the researchers introduced a hint of spiral to horizontal-layer combs, and found that it caused the bees to switch to
building spirals. That is strong evidence in favour of Dr Wenseleers’s theory.
These results have left observers of animal culture abuzz, as they suggest that stingless bees can transmit different building traditions across generations without being instructed by their peers. For Dr Whiten, the new finding indicates that more complex animal behaviours—the building of nests by chimpanzees, for instance—may also have arisen through such indirect transmission.

To mark International Women’s Day, we asked Dezeen Awards judges to nominate (提名) a woman in architecture and design who should have greater recognition.
Shefali Balwani
Nominated by Kamna Malik
“Shefali Balwani is an Indian architect. Her projects have a certain voice that goes beyond the conventional definitions of architecture and design. Whenever I look at her work, I see mindfulness on so many levels, whether it is through the use of materials or the sensitivity shown towards the surroundings.”
Oana St nescu
Nominated by Ingrid Moye
“Having met Oana St nescu many years ago while working at SANAA in Tokyo, we have not only been following each other’s path but also become friends. I admire Oana’s curious perspective (视角) through which she observes the world. Her refreshing voice shows not only in her original architectural practice but also in her work as an academic, lecturer, and writer.”
Tatu Gatere
Nominated by Stella Mutegi
“Tatu Gatere is the co-founder and CEO of Buildher—an organization that seeks to empower women with skills needed in the construction industry, which is very male-dominated in Kenya. The skills that these women are empowered with at Buildher make a big impact on every aspect of their daily lives.”
Jessica Smulders Cohen
Nominated by Katie Treggiden
“Having studied sustainable design at Kingston University, Jessica Smulders Cohen decided not to become a designer or a maker, but instead to become a repair specialist.

阅读D 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：艺术 难度：★★★☆☆
When it comes to the most famous 20th-century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself, “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more active old age.
She was a live-in housekeeper for a total of 15 years, starting at 12 years of age. After getting married, she and her husband farmed most of their lives. With no time in her difficult farming life for painting, she had to set aside her passion for it. At age 92 she wrote, “When I was quite small, my father would get me and my brothers pieces of white paper. He liked to see us draw pictures. It was a penny a sheet and lasted longer than candy.” It was her father’s encouragement that fed her passion for painting and this dream was able to manifest (清楚显示) itself later in her life.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) as a hobby, but only changed to oils in her old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Moses’ works, which she called “old-timey” New England landscapes, are careful and lively portrayals of the country life. Moses said that she would “get an inspiration and start painting; then I’ll forget everything, except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.”
13.What can we learn about Grandma Moses from paragraph 1
A. Her marriage life was not happy.
B. She painted in oils when she was a child.
C. She stopped painting in her late seventies.
D. She still led a colorful life when she was old.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了20世纪美国著名画家Grandma Moses的生平并介绍了她的创作风格。
D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“No one could have had a more active old age. (没有人能拥有比她更活跃的晚年了。)”可知，Grandma Moses 在晚年仍然过着丰富多彩的生活。故选D。
答案与解析
14.What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing
A. Embroidering. B. Farming.
C. Nursing. D. Painting.
B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After getting married, she and her husband farmed most of their lives. With no time in her difficult farming life for painting, she had to set aside her passion for it. (结婚后，她和丈夫大部分时间都在务农。在艰苦的农业生活中，她没有时间画画，只好把对画画的热情放在一边。)”可知，Grandma Moses一生中大部分时间都在务农。故选B。
答案与解析
15.What does the underlined word “portrayals” in the last paragraph mean
A. Directions. B. Stages.
C. Surveys. D. Descriptions.
D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Moses said that she would ‘get an inspiration and start painting; then I’ll forget everything, except how
答案与解析
things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.’ (摩西说她会‘获得灵感并开始绘画；然后我就会忘掉一切，只记得过去是怎样的，以及怎样把它画出来，好让人们知道我们过去是怎样生活的。’)”可知，其画作重在重现她所熟知的乡村生活，故其画作是对乡村生活的生动描绘。故画线词的意思是“描述”。故选D。
答案与解析
16.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition
B. Grandma Moses and Her Farming Life
C. Grandma Moses: the Best Woman Painter
D. Grandma Moses: A Famous Woman Painter of the 20th Century
D 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to the most famous 20th-century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. (说到20世纪美国最著名的画家，就不得不提摩西奶奶，尽管她直到70多岁才开始画画。)”结合文章主要介绍的是20世纪美国著名画家Grandma Moses可知，这是一篇人物传记类记叙文，故D项“摩西奶奶：一位20世纪著名女画家”为最佳标题。故选D。
答案与解析
七选五 (2023·新课标Ⅰ卷) 体裁：说明文 主题语境：完善自我 难度：★★★☆☆
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 1 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths”. 2 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of
your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness”. On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list.
4 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact,
don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 5 We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
本文是一篇说明文。文章提出通过写作练习可以让我们在犯错后学会如何自我谅解，并给出了写作练习的几个要点，点明了犯错的积极意义。
1.D 第一段前两句提到“为自己的错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因错误而过分自责。人都是会犯错误的”。因此，既然犯错是人之常情，所以不要过分自责，学会原谅自己也同样重要。D项符合语境，呼应上文。空后一句提出自我原谅的解决办法：你可以用以下的写作训练帮你做到这一点；句中的this指代D项中的“show yourself some forgiveness”。
答案与解析
2.B 本段先介绍：写下个人优点，空后举例说明你可能会写下的个人优点——乐于助人、有创造性、慷慨、善于倾听、有趣等 等。最后一句总结说明这些写下的品质不需要有多高尚。由此可知只需要写一些自己引以为傲的品质就行了。B项符合语境，呼应上文。B项与空前一句句式同为祈使句，且选项中的“all the characteristics”是对下文caring, creative, generous, a good listener, fun to be around的品质的概括，且与下一句中的They呼应。characteristics与personality属于近义词复现。
答案与解析
3.F 上文介绍：写下“善行”，并且列出一些你为他人做的好事。下文列举了一些生活中琐碎的好事的例子。本空是对本段的总 结，再次重申无论这件好事是什么、有多小，要把善行记下来。故F项能够总结本段。
答案与解析
4.C 本段介绍：你可能想要亲朋好友来帮你增加你的列表，空后提到：这样，你们就能交流想法，谈谈你们各自的特殊之处和你们个性中的闪光点。故空处应该是对此处的进一步讨论或建议：他们甚至可能喜欢尝试做这个练习。 C项是前文内容的递进，也是后文的过渡。选项中的They指代“a friend or family member”, “doing the exercise”和上文的“help add to your list”是前后承接的 关系。
答案与解析
5.G 本段总结，前文提到“虽然大多数人都是从错误中学习而并非从成功中学习已是陈词滥调，但事实确实如此”，后文提到“我们总是在改变和学习，因此犯错是一个发展和成长的积极途径”。由此可知，无论什么错误都不是不变的，人不会总犯相同的错 误，即错误不是你性格中固有的一面。G项符合语境，选项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect”与下文的changing呼应。

I hurriedly made my way through the busy airport, my mind focusing on the adventure that awaited me at my destination. I had been looking forward to this trip for months and had packed everything I needed for my much-anticipated painting trip. Brushes, canvases (画板), and a column of watercolor paints—my most cherished companions on this creative journey—were carefully placed in my carry-on luggage.
As I approached the security checkpoint, a sense of unease began to settle within me. I couldn’t help thinking that I must have forgotten something. I checked my passport and air ticket. Everything was in their place. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I realized I had forgotten about the strict rules on liquids in carry-on baggage. I felt a sense of panic as the realization dawned upon me—I would have to part ways with my beloved painting supplies.
Unwillingly, I handed over my paints to the stern-faced (面无表情的) security officer, knowing that they were victims of my carelessness. I felt as if my creative spirit and good mood for the trip had been swept away in a gust of wind. I couldn’t help complaining to him about how important those paints were to me and how much I had been looking forward to this trip. The officer’s straight face provided no comfort as he informed me that I could collect my items upon my return in a week.
Days passed as I silently counted the minutes until I would be reunited with my artistic companions. On the day of my long-awaited return, my heart fluttered with nervous anticipation. As I exited the airplane and made my way to the baggage claim area, a familiar face caught my eye. Amongst the sea of strangers, a security officer stood, holding a package that resembled my beloved art supplies. My eyes widened in disbelief, my steps quickening with each step. Could it be possible that he had gone through the trouble of saving my cherished materials As I reached the security officer, he met my gaze (凝视) with an unexpected smile.

语法填空
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了风暴为何拥有人类的名字。
1.explanation 考查词形转换。空前是冠词+形容词，故空处填名词, explain的名词是explanation。
2.on 考查介词短语。根据语境“即将到来”可知，此处是介词短语on the way “即将到来”。
3.themselves 考查代词。空处作宾语，且与主语people一致，应用反身代词，故填themselves。
4.relatively 考查词形转换。空处修饰形容词new，应用副词作状语，故填副词relatively。
5.to cause 考查非谓语动词。根据be expected to do sth. “预计做某事”可知，此处用不定式，故填to cause。
6.has 考查动词时态。分析句子结构可知，空处在when引导的时间状语从句中作谓语，且与从句中已有的谓语is expected时态一致，应用一般现在时，从句主语是a storm，故谓语用第三人称单数，故填has。
7.is published 考查动词时态和语态。句中时间状语是every year，故谓语用一般现在时，主语a new list 与publish之间是被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is published。
8.which 考查定语从句。该句是非限制性定语从句，先行词是The A-Z of names，指物，从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。
9.reflecting 考查非谓语动词。此处是with 复合结构, the chosen names 与reflect之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词作宾补，故填reflecting。
10.the 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的list，故用定冠词the。
