Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.“Peter, 18," announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, t4Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 . and lastly Alia, 15.”When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone foundout that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it? He thought (hat it had been already clone, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but (hen another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone chccrcd for him and congratulated him in class.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Para 1: He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all.Para 2: "My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right, “his mum continued.第一局部501-3 ABD 4-7ADCA 8-11 CDDB 12-15 AADA 16-20 BDGFA第二局部4521 -25 CBACD 26-30 BACDB 31 -35 ACDAD 36-40 CABDC：41. of 42. protection 43. themselves 44. correctly 45. older46. is separated 47. a 48. increasing 49. that 50. were第三局部2051. weighing 52. completed 53.

No area was spared or unaffected, from the fbggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to (he San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In (he Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housingdcvclopmcnt pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2021, McIntyre and his colleagues documented 记录) a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wild-lands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest waler shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated ( i十算)how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snow-melt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the stale have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snow-melt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.( )4.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.( )5. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A. Ecological studies of forests.B. Banning woodcutting.C. Limiting housing development.D. Fire control measures.( )6.What is a major cause of the water shortage according (o McIntyre?A. Inadequate snow-melt.B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer cliniate.D. Dampness of the air.()7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California(C)What defines an cco-house? There arc two features to take into consideration. Firstly, the energy efficiency and carbon emissions associated with running the house, and then the type of construction materials used, their associated emissions and the raw materials required.At Baufritz, we have won awards relating to the sustainability of our houses. This is because as a company we had decided to put environmental stewardship at the core of our values way back in the1960s. So how do we do it?Heating is the biggest emissions factor for any house. It is really rather simple to solve this problem make a house extremely energy efficient and this will no longer be a factor. Ultra low energy houses have become known as Passive houses, where a certain set of design characteristics help to improve efficiencies. You need a very high level of insulation in the walls and roof. Glass should be suitably positioned to optimize solar gaintuemrr (heat from the sun). The house needs to be very well engineered so no heat is lost through cracks or poorly fitted windows and doors. Al Baufritz we manufacture Kit houses, and use Modem Manufacturing Methods in our factory to engineer our houses in such a way that leaks are minimized.We have also developed "HOIZ" insulation. Manufactured from natural wood waste products, HOIZ is placed between the inside and outside layers of our timber framed houses to create the highest level of insulation. Our windows and doors use triple glazing to minimize heat loss. Overheating is one of the biggest challenges Passive houses face and our architects use some very clever ventilation systems to manage internal environmental conditions. All houses still have energy-consumingappliances, but with the addition of solar for both electricity generation and water heating, the carbon footprint of the homes wc produce arc further reduced.Embedded carbon in building manufacturing materials such as concrete, as well as a historic tendency lo send materials to landfills, results in a high carbon footprint and natural resource exploitation. Baufritz addresses this problem in a number of ways. Our primary manufacturing material is wood. We source from sustainable certified forests where felled trees are replanted. In fact, we believe all building materials should be as natural as possible. Wc say no to PU construction foams, chemical insulation materials, toxic adhesives and laminate flooring. A house constructed using only natural materials creates a healthy living environment for its residents. As all our houses are manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory, waste is kept (o an absolute minimum. At the end of (heir life-cycle, ourhouses can also be recycled. Today, demolition (撤除)firms clearing the site for the new build are ableto recycle nearly all of the building materials, therefore closing the manufacturing loop.My house is old, so why is this relevant? There arc still lots of things which can be done. Improve your insulation. When your appliances expire, replace based on efficiency. Consider heat pumps instead of gas boilers and explore solar to deliver electricity and water heating. By designing and building houses to ultra low energy standards, and by using natural sustainably sourced materials and recycling the waste products from our manufacturing processes, we are able to deliver Carbon Neutral Houses. This means that the total carbon footprint throughout the life-cycle of each house is zero, which is why we call ourselves eco-house pioneers. All houses are prefabricated at our state-of-the-art factory in Erkheim, Germany, and then assembled on site.( )8. According to the passage, which of the following isNOTassociated with the sustainability of eco-houses?A. The raw materials used.B. Energy efficiency of the house.C. Carbon emissions released by house designers.D. Construction materials used and their emissions.E. )9. From the passage it can be inferred that Passive houses.A. fail to optimize solar gainB. need to be carefully engineered to trap heatC. use more energy-consuming appliances than Kit housesD. could have less comfortable environmental conditions inside them()10. Which of the following statements is true about the way Baufritz builds houses'?A. House recycling is an additional service provided free by Baufritz.B. Building materials arc obtained from factories to ensure their quality.C. Man-made materials are applied to reduce their impact on the environment.D. The houses are all manufactured in their factory so as to reduce costs and waste.( )11. The purpose of the passage is t
