A Wrld Of Wnders
Frm the pyramids f Giza t the Clssus f Rhdes,Bettany Hughes explres sme f the wrld’s mst thrilling landscapes.In a landscape that values cnvenience and quick-fire prgress ver all else,it’s a treat t lk int the BCE years and discver the astnishing accmplishments f leaders and kings lng,lng dead,sme f which still puzzle the mdern mind.
Hughes takes us thrugh each f the Seven Ancient Wnders,nt nly wndering at the cnstructin and grandness but,perhaps mre interestingly,the experiences f thse wh imagined,built and enjyed them.
This is nt a bk t be quickly swallwed,but enjyed in delicius pieces,regularly glancing frm the page t infrm whmever is in clse prximity(接近) f the curisities illustrated:“Did yu knw the Temple f Artemis was destryed and rebuilt three times,each mre impressive than the last?” r,“Did yu knw that when the Pyramid f Giza was built,it was a waterside feature,and the Egyptian landscape was green?”
Thrughly researched and cited,Hughes als appears t have visited many f the lcatins,even thse we can’t be sure f,and this first-hand accunting adds a much-needed element f engagement t the therwise fact- and date-heavy narrative.Recunting the unpleasant smell f bat dung(夜明砂) while crawling thrugh pyramid passageways,ding her wn n-ft detective wrk at Rhdes t discver the lcatin f the Clssus,yu can imagine her,nt in a dusty library but putting n an Indiana Jnes style hat and adventuring fr numerus legendary treasures.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要向讀者推薦Bettany Hughes關(guān)于古代奇跡的一本書。
1.What des Hughes fcus n in writing?
A.Quick-fire prgress.
B.Cmmn sense.
C.Ancient wnders.
D.Mdern minds.
答案 C
解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“In a landscape that values still puzzle the mdern mind.”及第二段可知,在人們追求便利和短時(shí)間爆火的今天,Hughes的作品專注于探索發(fā)現(xiàn)古代帝王之謎,實(shí)屬難能可貴。她帶領(lǐng)我們穿越古代七大奇跡,不僅僅是宏偉的建筑,而且關(guān)注其中相關(guān)的人物。故選C項(xiàng)。
2.What can we learn abut Hughes?
A.She prefers t describe delicius fd.
B.She is fnd f questining the truth.
C.She is used t wrking in a dusty library.
D.She highlights hands-n experiences.
答案 D
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段描述可知,經(jīng)過精心調(diào)查研究和引證,Hughes也實(shí)地去了我們不太了解的地方,這些第一手的資料又給本來單調(diào)的事實(shí)性敘述增添了生動(dòng)的元素。詳述穿越金字塔通道時(shí)夜明砂的難聞氣味,為找到羅德島太陽神巨像位置而進(jìn)行一系列的徒步探索,從中可以想象Hughes不是待在圖書館品味傳奇故事。由此可推斷,Hughes更注重親身體驗(yàn)。故選D項(xiàng)。
3.What’s the purpse f writing the text?
A.T recmmend a bk.
B.T intrduce places f interest.
C.T attract turists.

During my writing this review,I lked at fur separate screens.There was my laptp,nt which I typed this text;there was my phne,receiving messages frm friends and clleagues;my iPad,fr hunting additinal details;and,in the backgrund,a TV passively shwing prgrams.
S far,s nrmal in 2024.But what d all thse screens and the time spent with them d t us?Plenty f bks and articles scream warnings abut the impact f this technlgy n ur lives.We are becming impatient,stupider,addicted,and we need t digitally detx.
Except that we aren’t and we dn’t,as Pete Etchells,a psychlgist and science cmmunicatr at Bath Spa University,UK,explains in Unlcked:The Real Science f Screen Time.In it,he walks a cmplicated tightrpe(繃索),uncvering sme f the mst harmful fictins abut ur smartphne and screen-dminated lives,while ffering gd advice abut hw t imprve the time we spend with screens.As a sciety,argues Etchells,“we have becme t mentally upset—and even fearful—abut screens”.He says that ur wrries are “deeply unusual,grunded firmly in stries and lived experience”,rather than evidence.
T vercme the fear that has taken hld,Etchells suggests we stp thinking abut screen time and instead fcus n screen habits.The frmer wrries abut hw much is t much,while the latter is mre realistic.After all,4 hurs spent wrking n screens is different frm 4 hurs listlessly scrlling thrugh scial media.
Explaining all this clearly,with useful cmparisns and humrs,is what makes Unlcked a must-read.It is like a ppular science TV series:friendly and charming.It is als a crrective,prviding a realistic medicine fr hpelessness.In the UK,a survey fund that tw-thirds f the public wuld supprt a ban n selling smartphnes t under-16s.
But gvernment fficials wuld d better t read Unlcked.That way,they can make infrmed decisins abut whether such bans are needed,and if they wuld make a difference.

7.What is the authr’s attitude twards Etchells’ understanding f screens?
A.Critical.
B.Tlerant.

Cllingwd-Nrris was playing with her new pet dg,Stitch,while wearing a favurite secnd-hand jumper.Stitch jumped up and grabbed her sleeve and tre several hles in it with her sharp teeth.
Cllingwd-Nrris,nw 37,wasn’t abut t cast the item ut.“I can’t bear t thrw away nice clthing just because f a hle,” she explains.As a knitwear designer based in Galashiels,Sctland,she was used t making her wn jumpers,but after she was left with a handful f jumpers that had dg-affected hles,she decided t tackle a new skill:mending.She began by reading a bk called Make D and Mend,abut the innvative thriftiness(節(jié)儉) that emerged during Wrld War Ⅱ.
Instead f trying t make the repair as small as pssible,she turned t ‘visible mending’,a trend in repairing clthes that leaves an intentinally bvius fix.Needlewrkers add flwers,bright squares r ther small designs t damaged clthes.“Every time yu d a repair,it’s like having a new garment in yur wardrbe,” says Cllingwd-Nrris.She’s even started t repair ther things—including a hle in the red sfa chair she’s sitting n during ur vide interview.
Sadly,we have becme accustmed t replacing things instead f repairing them—and the garbage is piling up.Wrldwide,we cast ut 92 millin tnnes f textiles(紡織品) every year.Electrnic waste is anther grwing prblem:an estimated 50 millin tnnes f it is created each year arund the wrld.
The gd news is that fixing things can help slve the waste prblem.It’s part f a larger shift twards a circular ecnmy—the idea that instead f casting ut items nce they are brken r ut f date,we reuse r repair them,keeping them ut f the landfill fr as lng as pssible.
Abut ne-third f greenhuse gas emissins cme frm man-made gds and cnsumables.Accrding t a 2023 reprt frm Circle Ecnmy,a Netherlands-based NGO,if the wrld switched t a circular ecnmy we culd lwer the amunt f material we need t extract frm nature by a third.Of curse there is still smething t d with the waste.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章主要敘述一種對(duì)老舊物品的處理方式——修補(bǔ)。而且進(jìn)行花樣修補(bǔ),修補(bǔ)后循環(huán)使用。
8.Why des the authr mentin Cllingwd-Nrris’ pet dg?
A.T shw hw lvely the dg was.
B.T intrduce the tpic f mending.
C.T highlight the secnd-hand jumper.
D.T tell an interesting stry f the dg.
答案 B
解析寫作手法題。根據(jù)第一、二段描述可知,Cllingwd-Nrris家的寵物狗Stitch用伶俐的牙齒在連衣裙上撕了幾個(gè)洞,她決定不再扔掉,而是修補(bǔ)。由此可推知,開頭提到她家寵物狗是為了引出下文主題。故選B項(xiàng)。
9.Hw did Cllingwd-Nrris d with damaged clthes?
A.She threw them away.
B.She put them away in wardrbe.
C.She fixed them skillfully.

10.What can we learn abut a circular ecnmy?
A.It prmtes sustainable use f resurces.
B.It leads t greenhuse gas emissins.
C.It prevents prductin innvatin.
D.It extracts mre frm nature.
答案 A
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五、六段敘述可知,循環(huán)經(jīng)濟(jì)(circular ecnmy)不是將廢舊用品扔掉,而是重新利用或修補(bǔ)。這樣,減少了我們從自然中攫取資源。由此可推知,循環(huán)經(jīng)濟(jì)促進(jìn)資源的可持續(xù)利用。故選A項(xiàng)。
11.What will be discussed in the fllwing paragraphs?
A.Electrnic waste.
B.The vide interview.
C.Man-made gds.
D.Slutins t the waste prblem.
答案 D
解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“Of curse there is still smething t d with the waste.”可推知,接下來作者將介紹處理廢物的幾種辦法。故選D項(xiàng)。
