The World Architecture Festival has presented ‘Smart Cities’ awards to architectural plans that offer advanced design combined with an ability to address major world issues. The four winners tell you the future of some of the world’s largest cities.
Lingang Open Zone Station TOD project-Shanghai, China
Benoy’s plan is for a station to be built in Lingang New City. The station would offer two express lines to meet the needs of both tourists and residents; one direct to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and another linking the central area of Dishui Lake. To improve visibility of nearby stores, the station will be built in a streamlined shape.
Centipede-Istanbul Türkiye
The project, led by Emre Arolat Architecture, seeks to deal with the complex issue of sustainable traffic choices. For Istanbul, the architectural team note that interruption of pedestrian (行人) flow is a key urban problem in the city. Therefore, the project aims to create new pathways and underground routes between currently separated roads.
Future Vision for London Waterloo Station and South Bank-London, England
Led by Grimshaw, this future vision considers social and economic factors within the architectural choices. The project offers more than 40 walking and cycling routes to improve passenger flow. Additionally, 1,900 sqm of new green space is planned to be created around the station.
Knowledge Economic City-Madinah, Saudi Arabia
This project, headed by DLR Group, outlines a plan to concentrate goods, services and knowledge around a new high-speed railway station. Neighbourhoods situated around parks allow leisure and a positive lifestyle. In addition, cycling and walkable networks ensure that the city will be comfortable for future residents.
1. Which city will provide two express lines to satisfy tourists’ needs

As her 4-year-old son Ariel took a good look at the museum’s ancient artifacts (手工艺品), Geller looked away for just a moment. Then a crash sounded, a rare 3,500-year-old jar was broken on the ground, and her son who accidentally broke the jar, stood over it, in panic. “Please let that not be my child” was the first thought that raced through Geller’s head.
Geller was embarrassed and tried desperately to calm down her son. Ariel told Mom he was exceptionally curious and just wanted to see what was inside.
The Bronze Age jar, exhibited out in the open without glass barriers, has been on display for 35 years. It was one of the only containers of its size. It was likely used to hold wine or oil.
What could be considered every parent’s worst nightmare became a learning experience. The curator (馆长) hoped to turn the disaster into a teachable moment. Friday, the Geller family were invited back for making up. Ariel gifted the museum a DIY vase of his own and felt welcome to return.
Experts were using 3D technology and videos to repair the jar. “That’s what’s actually interesting for my kid, this process of how they’re piecing it back together, and all the technology they’re using there,” Geller said.
Shafir, a restoration expert of the museum, said the repairs would be fairly straightforward, as the pieces were from a single, complete jar. It could be back on display as soon as next week. The artifacts should remain accessible to the public, even if accidents happen because touching an artifact can inspire a deeper interest in history and archaeology (考古学). “I like that people touch. Don’t break, but to touch things, it’s important,” he said.
4. What can we learn about Ariel from the first two paragraphs
A. He was a naughty boy. B. He broke the jar intentionally.
C. He was frightened of the accident. D. He became a laughing stock of the crowd.
5. What did the Geller family do when they were invited back
A. They had to make an apology. B. They learned to restore the broken jar.
C. They provided the videos for repair. D. They were asked to pay for the damage.
6. What can be concluded about the restoration according to Shafir
A. It was simple and plain. B. It took at least two weeks.
C. It was costly and boring. D. It lacked funds and support.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. When curiosity meets criticism. B. Take good care of family members.
C. A disaster A teachable moment! D. To touch or not to touch Think twice!

Ash has built his life around adventures. He has covered 9,000 kilometres on foot through many countries. So when the birth of his daughter put a stop to his cross-continent explorations, Ash found it quite difficult to adjust. “It’s become part of my identity,” he says. “I’ve had to think about what I can do instead.”
This, he says, has led him to reflect on why we travel in the first place, and what we can do to make our travel pleasant. In his new book, Why We Travel, Ash shares his travel insights, drawing on his own travel experiences and expert advice.
Figure out what you want to experience from your trip. “What makes travel most satisfying for me,” he writes, “has been figuring out how to make my intentions align with what I’m doing.” He explains you might want to experience something new. “But what does that mean ” he asks. “Do you want to eat new foods or engage in another culture Do you want space to relax or do you want something that is physically or psychologically challenging ” Asking yourself such questions can help you to decide your destination, how you travel, where you stay and what you do once you’re there.
For Ash, who has mostly traveled alone, he’s discovered that traveling with others can present some unexpected opportunities. Yes, traveling alone is important – it allows self-discovery and independence. But traveling with partners and friends can be a great opportunity to learn more about yourself. Challenge each other to do something the others would never choose to do when you’re on, holiday. It’s a different kind of psychological development. And you might discover something you like, that you would have never tried on your own.
So next time if you want to enjoy your travel to the full, read this book before start.

When ultraviolet (紫外线的) light shines onto the Mexican free-tailed bat’s extraordinarily hairy toes, they light up like a Christmas tree. That’s because the animals have hairy structures that can absorb UV light and send it out at a different wavelength. The finding marks the first time glow (发光) structures have been reported in live bats.
Biologist Gual-Suárez and his team had been catching Mexican free-tailed bats outside of a well-known habitat in southern Mexico City. And the night before, the researchers had used nets to capture bats about 20 kilometers to the north, then dusted them with a special powder (粉末) that shines under UV light. The hope was to later detect that powder on bats sampled in the south, proving that the animals were moving between the two locations.
“We failed at that” says Gual-Suárez. However, while searching for signs of the powder with their UV flashlights, the team discovered something even cooler on the powderless bats-glow-in-the-dark toes.
The researchers looked for and found similarly bright structures on 25 live Mexican free-tailed bats at both sites. The team also tested museum samples. These lacked glow structures in the foot, but glowed all over in dull green-probably as a result of chemicals used in the preservation process.
“I applaud Gual-Suárez’s paper on both examining live animals, and comparing the museum samples,” says Linda Reinhold, a zoologist in Australia. “That’s good science.”
As to what purpose the glow toes serve, the function is difficult to prove in any animals that glow. But the researchers note that because this species migrates thousands of kilometers at night, and lives in communities of up to millions of individuals; it would make sense if the light-up toes served some sort of role in nighttime communication.
“We need to test it in the lab,” says Rodrigo Medellin, an ecologist in Mexico. “This is just the tip of a very deep and very long iceberg that nobody knows anything about.”
12. What was Gual-Suárez and his team aimed at originally
A. Protecting bats from being caught.
B. Comparing live bats with museum samples.
C. Tracking bats’ movements between two sites.
D. Helping bats live in harmony within communities.
13. What can be learned about the glow toes according to the text
A. They can block UV light. B. They are found by chance.
C. They are familiar to humans. D. Their functions are easy to prove.
14. What’s Linda Reinhold’s attitude towards Gual-Suárez’s paper
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Suspicious. D. Negative.
15. What does Rodrigo Medellin imply in the last paragraph
A. Take action to save the iceberg. B. Make use of new lab equipment.
C. People know nothing about bats. D. Further research needs conducting.

The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. Grandma was waiting for them joyfully in front of the house. Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then rushed to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was getting worse and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. . Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.

Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. We had a lot of happy moments with Grandpa here! But now Grandpa couldn’t stand up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “No, he hates people catch birds!” Jack shook his head.

47【答案】Berlin thought it was a good idea. He suggested they find some special wood to make the cane. They searched the forest and finally found a beautiful piece of wood with a natural curve. They worked hard to smooth it and add a rubber tip at the end with the sweat sticking and soaking their clothes but that didn't stop the kids’ enthusiasm. It looked perfect. Excitedly, the brothers rushed back to the house with the fabulous cane.
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. Grandma and Mum were surprised and pleased by their thoughtfulness. With the cane, he was able to lift himself up out of the chair, and take a shaky step or two. The smile on his face was all the reward the boys needed. The gratitude in his eyes was evident, and the brothers felt proud of what they had done. “Thank you, my boys,” Grandpa said, patting them on the back. “This cane is a gift I'll always cherish.” And with that, they all headed back into the little blue house full of love and happiness.
