Generations of creators have improved our lives with everything that touches off our imagination. Here are some

of the brilliant inventors.

all-male MIT, becoming the first woman in the United States to attend a science school. She conducted a huge survey

of water quality in Massachusetts, an effort that led to the first state water-quality standards in US.

Gregor Mendel (1822 — 1884)

In the mid-1800s, he experimented with pea plants to determine how physical features pass from one generation

to the next. The experiments established the basic rules needed to cross-breed (杂交繁殖) plants to create a new

variety with desired characteristics.

Ray Kroc (1902 — 1984)

As the founder of McDonald’s restaurants, Kroc changed the way Americans eat. In 1954, Kroc was selling

industrial mixers and visited the California restaurant of two of his best customers, Maurice and Richard McDonald.

Kroc was impressed by the methods the brothers used to make their hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, and

milkshakes.

Kroc, an Illinois native, talked the McDonalds into allowing him to create a group of drive-in hamburger

restaurants using their methods and name. The first of his restaurants opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15,

1955.

Jane Jacobs (1916 — 2006)

Jacobs was not a formally trained urban planner and didn’t have a college degree, but her intelligent views on

community planning changed the way Americans thought about cities. In her 1961 book, Death and Life of Great

American Cities, Jacobs advocated human-friendly neighborhoods featuring short city blocks and mixed-use

buildings that encouraged resident interaction. She also strongly opposed high-rise developments and expressways

that cut through neighborhoods.

From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5, 000, China spent about 40 years bringing

back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.

With its typical red crest and face as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is

known as the “Oriental Gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century

when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.

In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in

Yangxian County, northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a

natural boundary between China’s north and south, the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟)” of the wild birds.

Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species,

prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds’ living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals

in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special

funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off (封闭) mountains to plant trees in the birds’ living areas.

China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and has bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi.

Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5, 000 crested

ibises in the world, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than five

square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km. “It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying

around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not

only shows us the power of ancient life but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”

4. What does the author say about the Qinling Mountains?

A. They are where crested ibises were first found.

B. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.

C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.

D. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.

5. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?

A. The efforts of saving the species.

B. The reasons for breeding the species.

C. The biggest threat to crested ibises.

D. The activities to stop hunting the birds.

6. What does Zan Linsen think of the conservation?

A. Meaningless. B. Significant. C. Time-consuming. D. Regretful.

7. Which could be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rare Animals in China: Crested Ibises

B. Artificial Breeding of Crested Ibises in China

C. Endangered Crested Ibises Making a Comeback

D. Crested Ibises Found Again in the Qinling Mountains

Clockmaking is a traditional technology which involves the building and repair of clocks. But it is now on the

red list drawn up by the Heritage Crafts Association (HCA), which has warned more specialists are retiring than

entering the profession.

David Poole, a former master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, said, “Although there used to be

clockmakers on the street, a clock repair shop is a rare sight today.” Waiting lists will just grow, and people will find

it extremely difficult to identify anyone to repair their clocks. There are only about 250 makers and repairers left

across Britain, according to HCA’s research.

When specialists are approaching retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices ( 学 徒 ) as

happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gap.

Howard Walwyn, a leading dealer in Kensington, warned that, if expertise in repairing is lost, clocks will become

lifeless objects rather than living things, adding, “Most clockmakers have fiddled with clocks as kids, taking them

apart, and trying to get them to work. The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of

screens. I’ve got some younger clockmakers, but they’re few and far between.”

“There are also concerns that too many clockmakers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make

a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically (审美地) wrong,” said Jonathan Betts, an adviser to the National

Trust. He added, “Museum collections and more sensitive private collectors would much rather not have a clock

cleaned so it looks brand new, but an awful lot of restorers reject that. “Mr Poole, who became a clockmaker in the

1990s, said, “There are few people coming into the business. Most people who are in it are edging towards retirement,

so am I. If people aren’t skilled, all those lovely things won’t be looked after properly.”

8. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 2?

A. Clockmakers are in great need.

B. The clockmaking industry is declining.

C. Clock repair shops are common.

D. It is rare for people to repair their clocks.

9. What did the specialists traditionally do near retirement?

第5页/共 11页

A. They compared with apprentices. B. They took the training course.

C. They collected some clocks. D. They employed apprentices.

10. What does the underlined word “fiddled” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Begun. B. Argued. C. Played. D. Broken.

11. What is Jonathan Betts’ concern?

A. Many repairers adopt modern methods in clockmaking.

B. Many restorers are incapable of fixing mechanical clocks.

C. Private collectors show no interest in traditional techniques.

D. Museums refuse to include cleaned clocks in their collections.

Imagine that a futuristic roof garden is so intelligent that it knows when to store water for drought conditions,

and when to dump water to prevent flooding. Now these smart roofs are becoming a reality in the Netherlands.

With more than half the country located below sea level, the Netherlands has a history of flooding. Now climate

change has brought more severe weather, heavy rainfall, and even drought to the area, forcing the city of Amsterdam

to consider new ways to protect itself, and that’s where Resilio comes in.

According to their website, Resilio builds blue-green roofs throughout Amsterdam. Together with the local

government, from the years 2018 to 2022 they fixed specialized roofs in Amsterdam neighborhoods that are in the

most danger of flood damage.

These roofs are made of many layers. The most important layer is the water retention (保存) layer. In time of

heavy rainfall, this layer collects rainwater that would otherwise flood the streets, while in time of drought its water

feeds the garden on the top layer. It is this layer that differentiates the blue-green roofs from the regular green roofs.

A study shows that the blue-green roofs can capture up to 97% of extreme rain, as opposed to the about 12% that the

regular green roofs can capture.

What makes Resilio roofs so unique, however, are their systems. Multiple blue-green roofs are connected via a

digital network, meaning the roofs can each be controlled individually, responding to the amount of water collected

on that particular roof as needed. Each roof also has a valve (阀门) that is connected to a computer system called the

Decision Support System (DSS). The DSS networks with local weather forecasts to decide whether the valve on a

particular roof should open, spilling water safely and slowly into the sewer (下水道) system, or whether it should

remain closed and collect the coming rain.

These are the innovations that make Resilio truly revolutionary. Blue-green roofs show that the solutions to the

dangers climate change brings need to be creative and must work on many levels.

第6页/共 11页

12. What may directly lead to the building of Resilio roofs in Amsterdam?

A. The increasing disasters.

B. The city’s financial suffering.

C. The ever-rising sea level.

D. The city’s geographic advantage.

13. What do we know about the water retention layer of Resilio roofs?

A. They are slow to drought.

B. They are absolutely perfect.

C. They serve a double purpose.

D. They can trap solar energy.

14. What is the main function of the DSS according to the text?

A. To collect weather information. B. To control the use of the valve.

C. To help the sewer system work. D. To connect the digital network.

15. Which of the following can best describe Resilio roofs?

A. Challenging. B. Complicated. C. Beautiful. D. Smart.

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。

“Mary! Come and see what I have brought home!” My father opened the door and shouted cheerfully.

“Is it a dog?” I asked when I saw him hugging a huge creature in his arms.

My father nodded and put the dog on the floor. When it ran toward me, I pressed my hands tightly over my

mouth to hold back a scream. I turned around and rushed back to my room. I locked up the door as soon as I could.

Since I was attacked by a wild dog two months ago, I had been living in constant fear of dogs. I was confused

why my father was so happy to bring home such a scary thing. So I decided to stay in my room until the dog was

gone. After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut.

“Finally!” I breathed in relief and opened the door cautiously.

To my shock, I felt something wet touching my foot. It was the dog! I froze there, as if my feet were rooted to

the ground. When I regained my senses, I screamed, “Daddy! It is the dog! Help! It wants to bite me! Get it away

from me!”

My father was standing by the other side of the door,folding his arms and encouraged me,“It is not going to

eat you! Mary, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch it!”

I tried my best to control my fear and bent down to touch the dog. But I could not do it due to my constant and
