Over 40 students with low vision study at a school in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It was designed by Anand Sonecha, founder of an architecture company. Featuring a bright yellow entrance door, which stands out against the white walls, the school is decorated with a variety of sweet-smelling plants everywhere. Inside the classrooms, the walls feel smooth in contrast to the rough outside of the building. These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightforwardly, without any trouble.
The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform or celebrate festivals and the students are easy to orient themselves according to the sound, smell, sight and touch. “The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat, and I am eager to help them.”
During the construction, Sonecha used contrasting colors so that students could easily distinguish between the elements. Blue was used for all classroom doors, yellow for the entrance gate, black for switch buttons, and yellow and green for the furniture. All these colors contrasted with the white walls of the school, helping the students locate different elements. Different areas are of different height and width, which makes the sounds and noise change according to the echo (回音) produced in these spaces. Furthermore, he cooperated with fellow landscape architect Lokendra Balasaria to plant more than 1,000 plants of 37 species. These sweet plants have been grown not only to lead the children to move in the school through smell but also to attract butterflies and birds, and provide shade.
“The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students. Instead, all these elements should be added to public spaces for them. And my follow-up efforts may be there.”
24．Why did Sonecha design the school in Gandhinagar
A．To explore architecture styles. B．To raise funds for his company.
C．To offer convenience to the students. D．To improve students’ learning ability.
25．What does the underlined word “orient” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Relax. B．Waken. C．Cheer. D．Direct.
26．How does the school help students perform daily routine
A．By expanding activity areas. B．By stimulating multiple senses.
C．By offering behavioral guidelines. D．By strengthening safety measures.
27．What will Sonecha probably do in the future
A．Promote accessibility in the public regions.
B．Modernize architecture with smart devices.
C．Build special schools for disabled students.
D．Decorate schools with traditional elements.
C
Language gives us the power to describe countless actions, properties and relations that compose our experiences, real or imagined. As for how languages were created, scientists found iconicity might play a key role.
People can’t bridge language gap and understand each other without iconicity. When playing a game of charades (猜字谜), we act out our meaning, using our hands and bodies to describe the sizes and shapes of objects. The key to this process of forming new symbols is the use of iconicity. Not limited to gesturing, iconicity appears in our visual communication too. Traffic signs, food packaging, maps… Wherever there are people communicating you will find iconicity.
According to our research, ionicity might also exist in our voices. We organized a contest in which we invited contestants to record a set of sounds to express different meanings. The winner of the contest was determined by how well listeners could guess the intended meanings of the sounds based on a set of written options. Critically, the sounds that contestants submitted couldn’t include actual words or onomatopoeias (拟声词).
Listeners were remarkably good at interpreting the meanings of the sounds. Yet, all of the contestants and listeners were speakers of English. Thus, it was possible that listeners’ success relied on some cultural knowledge that they shared with the speakers. Did the listeners also understand the speakers from completely different cultural backgrounds
Later, an Internet survey translated into 25 different languages was carried out. Participants listened to each sound from the English speakers and guessed the meaning by choosing from six written words. Guessing accuracy for the different groups ranged from 74 percent for English speakers to 34 percent for Portuguese speakers. It is far from perfect, but well above the chance rate of eight percent expected by us.
Taken together, these studies show that our capacity for iconic communication has played a critical role. Without this special talent, language would likely never have gotten off the ground.
28．Which of the following can explain “iconicity”
A．A skill in foreign language learning.
B．The process of acting out our meanings.
C．The connection between form and meaning.
D．A barrier between different language speakers.
29．What can we know about the contest
A．It required sounds containing meanings. B．Its winners were creative in recordings.
C．It aimed to prove iconicity in words. D．Its entries were familiar to listeners.
30．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A．English pronunciations differ. B．The research has a limitation.
C．The cultural gap is narrowing. D．Listening skills vary in cultures.
31．What is the significance of the research
A．Clarifying the influence of sounds. B．Proving the necessity of exchanges
C．Uncovering the origin of languages. D．Identifying the function of gestures.
D
Architects often spend months or even years perfecting a design to express their ideas more clearly, convey additional information, or outline the right proportions for a building. However, the argent issue of climate change is placing new demands on their work. For example, in July, Super Typhoon Doksuri battered China, affecting more than 2.66 million people in Fujian Province alone.
Green architecture that conserves energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions offers a solution, and concerted efforts have been made in diverse research fields over the past three decades to minimize heat loss. In addition, new buildings have to be tailored to the needs of people’s lifestyles.
Ren Jun, a professor at Tianjin University’s School of Architecture, who designed the first near-zero energy house in China in December 2019, said, “You can construct low-energy, environmentally-friendly houses, but if the interior design and environmental quality don’t meet residents’ requirements, these properties won’t be suitable to live in.”
The near-zero energy house, located-in Banbidian village in Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, won the International Design Award in the United States in January last year. The 400-square-meter property, which stands at the entrance to the village, runs on solar power gathered from rooftop panels, with the addition of a small amount of power from the grid (电网).
Ren said the first obstacle to conserving energy in the property was heat retention, which he attempted to achieve by keeping the indoor temperature at a certain level. The property is divided into five areas: a solar garden in the front yard, a central lounge, a water courtyard, a sponge zone, and a back room. For the exterior walls, Ren used three types of insulation (隔热层), including plastic foam, each about 25 centimeters thick
Ren also looked for ways to deal with emissions at the house. He decided to install a ventilator, which pipes air that is polluted and replaces it with fresh air from outside in every room at the property.
Ren said it would take three to five years before more ultralow or near-zero energy buildings appeared in Chinese cities.
32．Which is not an important factor for designing green houses
A．Energy consumption. B．Carbon emission.
C．People’s lifestyle. D．Architecture style.
33．What can we conclude about the near-zero energy house
A．The house consumes little electricity.
B．The house is deliberately designed to keep heat.
C．The house is equipped with many intelligent facilities.
D．The house is the first International Design Award-winning building in China.
34．What did Ren do to build up the house
A．He designed the house in five stories to trap heat in it.
B．He applied 75 centimeters of plastic foam to exterior walls.
C．He tailored the interior design to the demand of local people.
D．He installed a ventilator to cut down carbon dioxide emissions.
35．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Green Homes Offer Hope amid Climate Change
B．Green Houses Feature Near-Zero Energy Consumption
C．Ren Jun Won the International Design Award
D．China Strives for Low Carbon Strategy with Green Houses

Things To Remember On Your First Solo Travel Adventure
If you’ve ever thought about just taking a trip yourself instead of waiting for someone to join you, you’re not alone. 36 However, do you count yourself among the many who have tried it If you’re planning your own solo trip, here are four important things to keep in mind.
37 Since you’re traveling solo how you choose to explore it is entirely up to you. This is your chance to do whatever you want whenever you want because this time, you’re running the show.
Don’t be afraid to talk to random people. Though there is someone who poses a threat, it’s important to remember that not everyone is out to get you. 38 That’s because you’re a novelty, a person from another country who is visiting theirs. Therefore, instead of putting on your headphones or instantly seeing them as weirdos, use this spontaneous chat as a chance to meet the locals or get recommendations for things to do during your trip.
It’s okay to have bad days. 39 It happens and it’s completely okay to take some time to process whatever it is you’re feeling. Take yourself to a movie or spend the day doing something relaxing like writing in your journal or reading on the beach.
It’s okay to start small. 40 Start by doing a staycation in another part of town, spending a few days in a new locale a bus or train ride away. Just do whatever you’re comfortable with and see how it all feels for you.
A．You are the boss of your own adventure.
B．You need to make an unusual travel choice.
C．It’s no secret that solo travel is on the rise.
D．Sometimes things can go incredibly wrong.
E．People like you simply don’t know how to start.
F．Most of the time people are just curious and try to be friendly.
G．Remember, your first solo trip doesn’t have to be to a whole other continent.

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。
In the town of Willowbrook, young Sarah was in a state of great excitement. Her school was putting on its annual play, and she had been offered a principal role. The school hall had been abuzz for weeks with rehearsals, prop (道具) preparations, and the students practicing their lines. Sarah had spent countless hours rehearsing, wanting to get every word and movement absolutely right.
However, underlying her anticipation was a growing sadness. Sarah’s dad, Mr. Thompson, worked as an engineer in a big city, and his job often kept him away from home for a long time, which meant he frequently missed out on most of the special moments in Sarah’s life. This play seemed to be another addition to that growing list. He had a vital business meeting on the same day, and Sarah, although understanding, couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Her classmates talked excitedly about their families coming to watch, increasing her sense of loss.
It was bright and sunny on the day of the play. The school’s hall was noisy with students. Students in costumes rushed about, teachers gave last-minute instructions, and the air was thick with anticipation. Sarah peeped out from behind the curtains and saw the hall filling up with eager parents, siblings, and friends. Every seat was taken, except one—her dad’s.
The play started on time with Sarah and her classmates’ performance being the first. The actors delivered their lines with passion and the audience responded with laughter and applause at all the right moments. Sarah played her part with a mix of excitement and longing, wishing her dad could see her shine.
Halfway through, the host called for a surprise guest to enter. He described him as a “mysterious stranger” whose brief appearance would provide a turning point in the plot. As the lights dimmed slightly and suspenseful music played, a tall figure stepped onto the stage.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para.1 Sarah’s heart jumped faster.
Para.2 When the final scene concluded and the curtains drew to a close, applause thundered through the hall.

读后续写
Sarah’s heart jumped faster. The “mysterious stranger” was none other than her dad! The audience erupted in whispers and applause. Mr. Thompson, looking slightly out of place but beaming, played his part perfectly. At a loss, Sarah struggled to stay calm, but a supportive nod from her dad helped her regain her calm. Their unexpected on-stage collaboration was brief but filled with genuine emotion, making it the most memorable part of the play.
When the final scene concluded and the curtains drew to a close, applause thundered through the hall. Sarah, with tears in her eyes, rushed to hug her dad. “You made it.” she whispered. “I wouldn’t miss it.” he replied, his eyes shining with pride. After the play, parents and students approached Sarah, not just to congratulate her, but also to share how moved they were by Mr. Thompson’s unexpected appearance. That evening in Willowbrook, the community didn’t just witness a school play; they saw a moving plot between a father and a daughter. Long after the play was forgotten, residents would recall the heartwarming twist that made the play truly unforgettable.
