18、ime and time again,I hear someone ask why anyone would want to keep an“ugly”building or a building that isdirty and clearly in need of work.I think you could say we preservationists look at buildings through a different angle an angle that can see the swan（天鹅）in the ugly duck,the story in the simple

19、 lines,the book behind the cover.Take the Queen Emma Building for example.While people may remember that building being named as one ofthe ugliest buildings in town,the angle from which a preservationist will view the building is that it is uniquelyconstructed with an artistical brise-soleil to bloc

20、k the sun.The designer used standard concrete bricks to form adecorative wall.Unfortunately,the brise-soleil was removed in 2011,making the building look like many of thecontemporary buildings in town.Sometimes people remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a“horrid”piece of architecture and

21、cant getover their anger,even when that building becomes an important part of our story.This is particularly true in SanFrancisco where many preservationists themselves dislike anything newer than the Victorian era.Yes,it was a tragedythat many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let ma

22、ny get torn down several decades ago,but those lossesalso tell another important story.It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equalsociety with inexpensive housing for the working class.Should that history be wiped from our memories?Preservation is not just about ke

23、eping pretty,well-kept buildings,but about conveying parts of our history-notjust the history of huge events,but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market.Our history cannotbe told only in buildings that meet someones criteria of beauty;sometimes our history is painful,but no l

24、essimportant.24.How do preservationists see buildings?A.They are devoted to repairing famous buildings.B.They focus on their value rather than appearance.C.They prefer ugly buildings to beautiful ones.D.They pay great attention to ancient buildings.25.What does the author think of removing the brise

25、-soleil of the Queen Emma Building?A.Its regrettable.B.Its confusing.C.Its pleasing.D.Its unbelievable.26.Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco torn down?A.To wipe the history of the Victorian era.B.To restore the architecture before the Victorian era.C.To work off the deep anger of the

26、 working class.D.To make land available for cheap housing.27.What might be the best title for the text?A.What kind of buildings are of historical value?B.Why do architects make ugly buildings?C.Are ugly buildings worth preserving?D.Are preservationistswork meaningless?CNuclear bombs.Thats the go-to

27、answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星）and comets,as far asHollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons,delivered by stars likeBruce Willis,to save the world and deliver the drama.But planetary defense experts say in reality,if astronomers spott

28、ed a dangerous incoming space rock,the safestand best answer might be something more subtle,like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a smallspacecraft.Thats just what NASAdid on Monday evening,when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid calledDimorphos,which is around 7 million m

29、iles away and poses no threat to Earth.Its about 525 feet across and orbitsanother larger asteroid.In images streamed as the impact neared,the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen tohaving its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craf

30、t hit right on target.Events happened exactly as engineers had planned,they said,with nothing going wrong.“As far as we can tell,our first planetary defense test was a success,”said Elena Adams,the mission systems engineer,who added thatscientists looked on with“both terror and joy”as the spacecraft

31、 neared its final destination.The impact was the peak of NASAs DoubleAsteroid Redirection Test(DART),a 7-year and more than$300million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanitys first ever test of planetarydefense technology.It will be about two months,scientists

32、said,before they will be able to determine if the impactwas enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course,probably shortening its original orbit.NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026.“Weve tracked lots ofspace rocks,especially the larger ones that cou

33、ld cause extinction-level events.Thankfully,none currently threatensEarth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphos havent yet been discovered,and those could potentially take out acity if they came crashing down.”explains Lindley Johnson,NASAs Planetary Defense Officer.28.How did scientists know the

34、 craft hit the asteroid successfully?A.The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.B.The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.C.They monitored the craft with satellites in space.D.They recorded the whole process with a telescope.29.What is the purpose of launching the spacecraf

35、t?A.To save the world and deliver a drama.B.To search for evidence of alien life.C.To test technology for defending Earth.D.To end the asteroids threat to Earth.30.What can be inferred about Dimorphos?A.It is expected to blow up after the impact.B.It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.C.It is

36、 an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.D.It is a dangerous incoming space rock.31.Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with?A.Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.B.NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.C.Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.D.NEO Surveyor

37、 is aimed to track smaller asteroids.DHow important is fish farming?Very.Although its an ancient business,the rise of aquaculture（水产养殖）hasbeen one of the biggest revolutions in food supply over the past half century.Aquaculture has made fish more affordable for consumers around the world,popularizin

38、g the consumption ofwhat used to be expensive,and easing the pressure on hard-pressed wild stocks（库存）.Aquaculture also has manyclear environmental benefits:compared with other ways of growing animal protein,it uses little or no land,and haslow greenhouse emissions.And while the world has traditional

39、ly had a bad record of regulating wild fishing,fishfarming generally occurs within the boundaries of governments,meaning it should,in theory,be much easier to ensurethat good practices are upheld.Crowding large numbers of fish into limited spaces means that waste products,including waste,uneaten foo

40、d anddead fish,are poured into the surrounding waters,polluting them.Besides,the pesticides and drugs used to treatconditions that upset fish in concentrated numbers can also affect local wildlife.Many farmed fish are fed on otherfish,so the industry also puts pressure on wild stocks:about a fifth o

41、f all caught fish,some 18 million tonnes,is usedfor fish oil and fish meal production.There is also the problem of fish escaping,with potentially dangerous effects onsurrounding ecosystems.In 2018 the Scottish Parliaments environment committee published a report into the fish farming industrysenviro

42、nmental effects,stating that key problems simply hadnt been tackled,and that the Scottish governments planto double salmon output by 2030could cause“irrecoverable damage”to ecosystems.Since then,protections have beentoughened.There is now more pressure from regulators to situate farms in remote,deep

43、-water locations.Meanwhile,though,catches of Scottish wild salmon have fallen to their lowest level since records began in 1952.“There are goodreasons for fish farming and real dangers to it as well.”concludes an official.“The question is how to make it work.”32.What does the underlined word“upheld”

44、in paragraph 2 mean?A.Supported.B.Allowed.C.Prohibited.D.Admitted.33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The reasons for fish farming.B.The downsides of aquaculture.C.The development of sea exploring.D.The effects of aquaculture on surrounding farming.34.What do we know about fish farming according t

45、o the Scottish report?A.The Scottish government plans to double fish output now.B.The problems of fish farming are likely to be solved.C.The fish farming industry has no effect on environment.D.The massive fish farming may damage ecosystems.35.What is the writers attitude towards aquaculture?A.Objec

46、tive.B.Doubtful.C.Critical.D.Disapproving.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Once considered an optional lifestyle choice,recycling has become a commonplace activity in most areas.Onetype of recycling,called downcycling,involves re-purposing a material into a ne

47、w product of lesser quality.36Downcycling is most common in terms of industrial materials.These products lose their value as they arerecycled,which limits their capacity for new use.37White writing paper,for example,is often downcycledinto cardboard;once downcycled to this new form,it can no longer

48、be used as white paper again.Another example ofdowncycling includes the use of plastic components.38Plastic,glass,and aluminium products coded with the number one may be remade into something ofequal or greater value.This type of recycling is known as upcycling,and represents the forward compatibili

49、ty ofrecycled components.Materials available for downcycling,such as water,juice,and milk bottles,are coded with thenumber two.They may not be used to contain food-grade items again upon being downcycled.Items available for downcycling often require additional chemicals,energy,and other treatments i

50、n order totransform them into something usable.39Trash bins,tables,and chairs are also considered materials with ahigh energy cost to recycle.40This usually occurs when a substance is blended with other substances,such as different types ofplastic with various recycling codes.Since these products ca
