Dr. Aminata Diallo, a 52-year-old Malian engineer, never imagined her childhood chore — carrying water 8km daily — would inspire a revolution. Today, her solar-powered atmospheric water generators (AWGs) relieve the thirst of 300,000 Sahel villagers, earning her the 2023 Rolex Award for Enterprise.
Born in drought-stricken Timbuktu, Diallo experienced her “eureka moment” during a sandstorm: “I watched camels lick condensation (冷凝水) off rocks and thought — why can’t humans harvest air’s moisture ” While studying mechanical engineering at MIT, she faced skepticism. “Professors said AWGs were impractical for deserts,” she recalled. Determined, Diallo tested prototypes in her dorm shower’s humidity, often working late into the night to refine her designs.
Traditional AWGs required expensive hygroscopic materials. Diallo’s innovation Treating bamboo fibers with sodium chloride — a technique inspired by Mali’s salt caravans (商队). “Bamboo’s structure mimics camel nostrils (鼻孔) which efficiently take in moisture from the air,” she explained at TEDGlobal 2022. Her $50 portable units now produce 20 liters daily even at 15% humidity, making clean water accessible to remote communities.
Diallo’s nonprofit “Jiko Collective” trains women to assemble AWGs, changing traditional gender roles in conservative regíons. “My first workshop had three grandmothers and a nursing mother,” she told The Guardian, “they fit machine parts while watching babies, proving that innovation thrives when everyone contributes.” Since 2020, over 4,000 women have learned these skills, giving clean water to 300,000 people and transforming their communities’ social fabric.
When tech giants offered millions for her patent, Diallo refused. “Water belongs to the sky, not shareholders,” she declared. Instead, she open-sourced designs through UNESCO, making them available for worldwide adoption. Critics call it naive, but to this award-winning engineer, every water drop from air shouts, “The sky’s gift belongs to all.”
4．What initially motivated Diallo’s invention
A．Academic pressure at MIT. B．Childhood experiences in Mali.
C．Encouragement from professors. D．Inspiration from camel behavior.
5．What does the underlined word “hygroscopic” in paragraph 3 most likely mean
A．Water-absorbing. B．Enengy-saving.
C．Heat-resistant. D．Cost-effective.
6．Why did Diallo refuse tech companies’ offers
A．To focus on academic research. B．To protect her technical secrets.
C．To reduce production costs further. D．To keep designs publicly accessible.
7．Which of the following best describe Diallo’s character
A．Ambitious and profit-driven. B．Competitive and self-centered.
C．Observant and socially conscious. D．Conservative and strong-minded.
Picture this: You’re sitting at your desk, finally getting to the task that has been put off for ages. You have put your phone in your bag. Despite the urge to check it once in a while, you feel focused. Do you think you’re having a productive time
Think again. We tend to believe putting our phone face-side down on our desk or in our bag is enough to prevent us from being distracted (干扰). However, a recent study reveals that the mere presence of your phone, even if it’s out of sight, can be a distraction to your brain - a concept known as “brain drain”.
To test the “brain drain” theory, 548 college students at the University of Texas were divided into three groups and asked to complete a set of brain performance tests, with their phones facing down on their desk, in their bag, or outside the room. Researchers found that the group with their phones in another room scored significantly higher. An analysis of 22 studies extends this line of research, indicating the mere presence of smartphones creates a “brain drain” and that the farther away they are from the users, the easier it is for them to concentrate. Why
Our brains can only focus on a small amount of information at once, and need to prioritize what is the most ever-present and relevant, like smartphones. In fact, we engage with the device an average of more than 150 times a day, which means we are rarely focused on a task for more than a few minutes without our attention being divided. This over-reliance on smartphones trains our brain to be inattentive, leaving less space for other tasks.
As our phones constantly battle for our attention, how can we prevent them from negatively impacting our performance at work A good starting point is to educate ourselves on the impact of phone usage on our brains so we can make more informed decisions when working on a task. To further improve our productivity, we should also remember to place our phone outside the room, rather than simply turn it upside down or silence it right beside us.
8．What does the author open the text with
A．A heated discussion. B．A vividly-described painting.
C．A well-known theory. D．A common misunderstanding.
9．Why is the analysis of 22 studies cited
A．To confirm previous findings. B．To analyze studies’ outcomes.
C．To compare research methods. D．To track subjects’ performances.
10．What causes a “brain drain” according to the text
A．The lack of concentration training. B．The limited capacity of our brains.
C．The overload of online information. D．The mindful use of digital devices.
11．How can we avoid distractions from phones at work
A．By reducing our phone’s usage. B．By switching smartphones to silent mode.
C．By covering our phone’s screen. D．By separating work zones and phone zones.
Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings. Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do—more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”.
Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.
The building materials and craftsmanship (工艺) are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.
As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization (使用) of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.
As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.
12．How do most people deal with old buildings
A．They treat them lightly. B．They treasure them heartily.
C．They explore them fully. D．They restore them actively.
13．Why does the author mention his little river cottage in Paragraph 3
A．To explain the complexity of building houses.
B．To demonstrate the shortage of building materials.
C．To display the attachment to the old constructions.
D．To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions.
14．What do the data in Paragraph 4 imply about old buildings
A．They are more efficient than the new buildings.
B．They can help avoid more environmental pollution.
C．They can clear away the bad effects on farms nearby.
D．They consumed less energy in the construction process.
15．What is the text mainly about
A．Culture values lie in green buildings.
B．Old buildings are environment-friendly.
C．Old constructions should be given priority.
D．Building craftsmanship should be respected.
Ethics (伦理) and morality are fundamental concepts that guide human behavior and decision-making. They shape our understanding of what is right and wrong, influencing our actions and interactions with others. Generally, the terms ethics and morality are used interchangeably; however, a few different communities, will occasionally make a distinction. 16
Many people think of morality as something personal and subjective. It includes individual’s beliefs and values about what is good and bad, often shaped by culture, religion, and personal experiences. 17 For instance, a person may believe that honesty is the best policy, while another may prioritize loyalty to a friend, even if it means being dishonest in a specific situation.
On the other hand, ethics is a set of principles or rules that govern one’s behavior of “right and wrong”. 18 Similarly, medical ethics guide healthcare professionals in making decisions that affect patient care, ensuring that they follow standards of practice and prioritize the well-being of their patients.
Although ethics and morality are distinct concepts, they are closely linked and mutually reinforcing (加强). 19 It allows us to apply our personal values to real-world situations. In turn, morality infuses ethics with meaning and purpose. It gives life to the abstract principles and rules that guide our behavior.
20 They work in harmony to guide our actions and shape our societies. Together, they form a solid foundation for building just, harmonious and compassionate communities. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, it is essential to recognize the interdependence of ethics and morality. By embracing both, we can cultivate a culture of integrity, empathy, and responsibility, ensuring that our actions match our deepest moral belief. In doing so, we contribute to a more sustainable and harmonious future for all.
A．Let’s go ahead and dive into these distinctions.
B．As you can see, the distinction can get a bit confusing.
C．Ethics offers a formalized structure for moral reasoning.
D．Our society requires a doctor to do his or her job ethically.
E．For example, business ethics help companies enhance honesty and integrity.
F．Morality varies greatly from person to person, leading to different interpretations.
G．In conclusion, ethics and morality are not opposing forces but complementary aspects.

五、书面表达
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。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

47．【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词)
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.
