13、na Faso, a little village where there was no school. And my father wanted me to learn how to read and write very simply because then I could translate or read him his letters.”The first Black winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was as surprised as anyone else to be selected for the fields most
14、 famous prize. Many architects had openly supposed that 2022 would be Sir David Adjayes year, who is best known for designing notable buildings as the Nobel Peace Center in Norway. Kr, who is based in Berlin but centers much of his practice in Africa, has beenuntil nowfar lesser known, with building
15、s that include primary schools and a healthcare clinic.When he was twenty, in 1985,Kr earned a scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin. But he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universitt Berlin, from which he graduated in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture. He was
16、 still a student when he designed and built the innovative Gando Primary School.Krs architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with around 100 other children in a region with temperatures over 100 F. “Its very hot inside. And there was no light, while outside, the sun
17、light was abundant. I think, one day I should make it better. I was thinking about space, about room, about how I could feel better.”In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, Kr drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete, and
18、emphasized shade and shadows, making spaces bright enough and letting air in, and thus reducing the need for air conditioning. He wanted the buildings to evoke the sense of an oasis (绿洲), a place for many children, to be happy and learn how to read and write.1. Why did the Pritzker Architecture Priz
19、e of 2022 come out as a surprise?A. Because it is the most famous prize.B. Because the winner only designs schools.C. Because Kr wasnt first selected as a candidate.D. Because another competitor was more famous.2. What inspired Krs architecture work?A. His academic training in Berlin.B. Hardship in
20、his early childhood.C. An architectural contest.D. His experience traveling abroad.3. Which of the following best describes Kr as an architect?A. Creative and universal.B.

21、 Kr?A. They only use traditional materials.B. They are well-lit and cool.C. They need no air-conditioning.D.

22、itects had openly supposed that 2022 would be Sir David Adjayes year, who is best known for designing notable buildings as the Nobel Peace Center in NorwayKr, who is based in Berlin but centers much of his practice in Africa, has beenuntil nowfar lesser known, with buildings that include primary sch
23、ools and a healthcare clinic. (第一位获得普利兹克建筑奖的黑人和其他人一样,对被选为该领域最著名的奖项感到惊讶。许多建筑师曾公开认为,2022年将是大卫阿贾耶爵士的年度,他最出名的是设计了挪威的诺贝尔和平中心等著名建筑。Kr,住在柏林,但他的大部分业务都在非洲,一直是直到现在很少为人所知,他的建筑包括一些小学和一个医疗诊所。)”可知,业内人士对于Sir David Adjaye这位建筑家获奖呼声颇高,相比之下本文主人公的主要作品都在非洲且名气不大,故选D项。2.细节理解题。根据第四段“Krs architectural practice was inspired
24、by his own experience attending school with around 100 other children in a region with temperatures over 100 F.Its very hot inside. And there was no light, while outside, the sunlight was abundant. I think, one day I should make it better. I was thinking about space, about room, about how I could fe
25、el better. (Kr的建筑实践灵感来自于他自己在温度超过100华氏度的地区与大约100名其他孩子一起上学的经历。里面很热。没有光,而外面阳光充足。我想,总有一天我会做得更好。我在想空间,空间,想着怎样才能感觉好点)”可知,Kr童年时经历的艰苦的学校条件激励他未来要为孩子们创造良好的学习环境。故选B项。3.推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“I think, one day I should make it better. I was thinking about space, about room, about how I could feel better. (我想,总有一天我会做得更好
26、。我在想余地,空间,想着怎样才能感觉好点)”,以及第五段“In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, Kr drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete, and emphasized shade and shadows, making spaces bright enough and letting air in, and thus reducing the need
27、 for air conditioning. He wanted the buildings to evoke the sense of an oasis (绿洲), a place for many children, to be happy and learn how to read and write. (在他的Gando小学和Naaba Belem Goumma中学的设计中,Kr借鉴了传统建筑材料,如当地粘土与混凝土混合,并强调阴影,使空间足够明亮,让空气进入,从而减少对空调的需求。他希望这些建筑能唤起一种绿洲的感觉,为许多孩子提供一个快乐、学习读写的地方。)”可知,Kr 设计的初衷是
28、关心关爱孩子们的学习环境,在设计中,他非常注重因地制宜,使建筑更有实用性,可以看出Kr关心他人且很务实。故选C项。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, Kr drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete, and emphasized shade and shadows, making spaces bright enough
29、 and letting air in, and thus reducing the need for air conditioning. (在他的Gando小学和Naaba Belem Goumma中学的设计中,Kr借鉴了传统建筑材料,如当地粘土与混凝土混合,并强调阴影,使空间足够明亮,让空气进入,从而减少对空调的需求。)”可知,Kr 设计的学校,采光和通风都良好,故选B项。(B)Some events have been added to the 2024 Olympics, with surfing, breakdancing and sport climbing among the r
30、ecent additions. With them come a group of terms that are foreign to the French language. For some French-language purists, its too much to bear to rely on English to praise surfers on their “noseriding” standing on the front of the board. Theyve decided they need a French solution.The French govern
31、ment has created a team of language experts devoted to promoting the national language. They will meet periodically over the next couple of years to identify and define new sports terms. The French battle against the influence of other languages isnt new. In 1994, the Toubon law was passed, forcing
32、the use of French in all government publications, contracts and advertisements. Yet it contained several loopholes, which allow brands and companies to extensively use English. As a result, anglicisms are becoming more obvious.Julie Neveux, linguistics professor at Sorbonne University in Paris, said
33、 anglicisms are “sometimes estimated at just under 5% of the present vocabulary, but they are disturbing because they show that we follow an economic and cultural model other than our own.” They are particularly present in sports competitions and events, during which athletes from around the world a
34、re used to communicating in English. “Sport was one of the first areas to be globalized,” said sports historian Michael Attali, “This phenomenon has strengthened English as the official language.”Despite their best efforts, no committee has successfully prevented English from infiltrating everyday l
35、anguage. By the time French officials agreed on a translation and its definition, the English version has already spread throughout the nation, “Similar committees have been put in place in the past, but nothing has changed so far,” said Attali.“There are far fewer anglicisms in French than there ar
36、e French words in English.” said Neveux. adding these exchanges should not be seen as a threat. “All living languages exist by borrowing from each other. Languages only exist thanks to their impurity.”1What will a team of language experts do?APromote the spread of French in the world.BDecide upon so
37、me new sports terms.CBring English and French together.DMake French much purer.2What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?AAnglicisms. BEnglish words.CFrench words. DNewly created words.3Whats the result of previous efforts to stop English from infiltrating French?AUnimportant. BS
38、uccessful.CFruitless. DUnmentioned.4What can we infer from the last paragraph?AEnglish is more popular than French.BAll languages should be preserved.CThe exchanges between two languages can be avoided.DNeveux is positive about the impurity of language.参考答案:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了法国政府成立了一个语言专家团队,致力于推广法语。他们将
39、在未来几年定期开会,以确定和定义新的体育术语。文章还介绍了历史上法语对抗其它语言影响的事件以及人们对的看法。1细节理解题。根据第二段中“They will meet periodically over the next couple of years to identify and define new sports terms. (他们将在未来几年定期开会,以确定和定义新的体育术语)”可知,一群语言专家会决定一些新的体育术语。故选B。2词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Julie Neveux, linguistics professor at Sorbonne University in Par
40、is, said anglicisms are “sometimes estimated at just under 5% of the present vocabulary”以及后文“They are particularly present in sports competitions and events, during which athletes from around the world are used to communicating in English.(它们尤其出现在体育比赛和活动中,在这些比赛中,来自世界各地的运动员习惯于用英语交流)”可知,巴黎索邦大学的语言学教授Ju
41、lie Neveux说,anglicisms“有时估计在现有词汇中只占不到5%,但它们令人不安,因为anglicisms表明,我们遵循的是一种经济和文化模式,而不是我们自己的模式。”故they指的是“anglicisms”,故选A。3细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Similar committees have been put in place in the past, but nothing has changed so far(过去也有类似的委员会,但到目前为止没有任何改变)”可知,以前阻止英语渗透到法语的努力结果是徒劳的。故选C。4推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are far f
42、ewer anglicisms in French than there are French words in English.” said Neveux, adding these exchanges should not be seen as a threat. “All living languages exist by borrowing from each other. Languages only exist thanks to their impurity.”(“法语中的英语词汇远远少于英语中的法语单词。”Neveux补充说,这些交换不应被视为威胁。“所有现存的语言都是通过相互
43、借鉴而存在的。语言之所以存在,是因为它们存在不纯性。”)”可推知,Neveux对语言的不纯性持肯定态度。故选D。(C)A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate
44、 the person on the new home.1 And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.2 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores.Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives a
45、nd things like curtains.Even if there isnt a registry,a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a plant.3 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isnt a lot of food served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housew
46、arming party.The host or hostess of the party will,however,probably give all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes,because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home,people may be asked to help unpack boxes.4Housewarming parties get their name from the fact
47、 that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift.5 Now most homes have central heating and dont use fires to keep warm.A.This isnt usual though.B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other gu
48、ests.D.If youre lucky enough to receive gifts,keep them in a safe place.E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.参考答案:1.E解析 上文提到“温锅
49、”是朋友和家人对乔迁新居的人进行的一种祝贺方式,下文讲“温锅”也是在用爱和礼物来填充新空间的时刻。由此可以推知,空处很有可能也是在讲有关“温锅”的意义。结合语境内容可知,E项中的代词It指housewarming party,而且also表明了和上一句之间的逻辑关系。故选E项。2.B解析 结合空后内容可知,此段主要讲“温锅”的时候,人们通常会带礼物。B项符合语境内容。3.C解析 根据文中的“.there isnt a lot of food served.”可知,此处讲的是人们来参加乔迁派对时也可以带着食物,据此可知C项“你也可以带着食物和饮料与其他客人一同分享”符合语境。4.A解析 根据空前
50、的“.people may be asked to help unpack boxes.”可知,此处是在描述派对活动时可能会做的事情,A项“不过这并不常见”是对空前内容的补充。A项中的代词This指代空前的“people may be asked to help unpack boxes”这种情况。5.G解析 此段中的“firewood”和“central heating”是答题的关键。这与G项中的“keep their home warm for the winter”的表述一致。五:话题写作训练(A)假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Mike将负责其学校举办的中国文化日活动,他就该活动向你征求建议
51、,请你给他回信,内容包括:1.活动的内容和形式;2.建议的理由。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考文章Dear Mike, Im more than glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on the Chinese Culture Day activity which will be held in your school. Here are my opinions. First, a paper-cutting exhibition is a good choice. As a traditiona
52、l Chinese art, paper cutting covers varieties of themes like plants, animals, legends and so on, which is a vivid reflection of Chinese folk culture. Besides, holding a Chinese calligraphy competition seems to be another wise option, for it can arouse students5 interest in Chinese writing, which is
53、very helpful in learning Chinese characters. Additionally, lectures about Chinese history t poems or food are sure to arrest the attention of those keen on Chinese culture. I hope my advice will prove to be beneficial to you.Yours sincerely,Li Hua(B)假设你是校学生会主席李华,你校将举办一次关于传统文化的研讨会。请你给交换生Mary写一封电子邮件,邀
