Unusual shapes, ambitious designs, new materials and different styles have come with the modern architecture into construction today. And the world owes some of its strangest buildings to the masterminds of unconventional architects. Here are some of them.
Cubic Houses, Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Cubic Houses are an architectural wonder located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. They were designed by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s. Blom was asked by Rotterdam town planners to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge. They are cubes situated in different angles over hexagonal (六边形的) poles, so they resemble trees and altogether make a forest. There are 38 small cubes and they are all attached to each other.
National Centre for the Performing Arts, China
The National Center for the Performing Arts, described as the Giant Egg, is an art center in Beijing, China. It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. As one of the strangest buildings, it is surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5, 452 people in three halls and is almost 12, 000 ㎡ in size.
Forest Spiral, Germany
The Forest Spiral is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany. It was designed by Australian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The building was completed in 2000. It’s a really amazing building with a green roof, resembling a spiral (螺旋).
Habitat 67, Montreal, Canada
Habitat 67, a housing complex in Montreal, Canada, was designed by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. Habitat 67 is shaped like a very interesting arrangement of cubes that kids play with. It looks so original and is a building completely stable and comfortable for living.
21. What makes the four buildings special
A. Their sizes. B. Their functions.
C. Their appearances. D. Their building materials.

I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of－writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak－a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I've been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me.” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail.
B. The author usually comforted her mom.
C. The author liked communicating by writing letters to Mom.
D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom.
25. What inspired the author to launch the act
A. The letters’ comforting effect on people.
B. Her intention of providing professional aid.
C. Her mother's fear of modern communication.
D. The positive influence of modern technology.
26. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”
A. It melts ice easily on a cold day.
B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks.
C. It encourages people to recover from traumas.
D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters.
C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters.
C
It is no accident that so many fairy tale characters find themselves having to cross dangerous areas of woodland. In a most practical sense, as the ancients dreamed up those stories and even when the oral traditions were finally written down in the middle ages and later, the lands of northern and western Europe were thick with woodland. The dangers were obvious: from robbers lying in wait for unsuspecting travelers to opportunistic wolves hungry for the kill.
In many cultures, the forest is for god or ancestor worship. In An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols, JC Cooper writes, “Entering the Dark Forest or the Enchanted Forest is a threshold (门槛) symbol: the soul entering the dangers of the unknown; the world of death; the secrets of nature, or the spiritual world which man must go through to find the meaning.”
The forest is a place of magic then, magic that can be dangerous, but also a place of opportunity and transformation. In the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the merchant is directed by invisible forces within the forest to the Beast's castle, only then to be directed by invisible hands to his fate.
As for Little Red Riding Hood, straying from (偏离) the path and into the woods is similarly dangerous and filled with treachery (背叛). And yet, in legends such as Robin Hood, or the great Hindu love story of Rama and Sita, the forest becomes a hiding place. It provides refuge for great heroes who after a period of hard time come back to fight for justice. Their time in the forest could perhaps be interpreted as a period of personal development.
Today, still, woodland remains as a refuge from institutional order, from control and limitation of personal freedom. Forests are places full of mystery, where imagination and the subconscious can run free, where we can return to our original selves.
28. What does the author think of the woodland dangers in fairy tales
A. They are created without reasonable basis.
B. They are a reflection of real-life dangers.
C. They differ greatly from those in real life.
D. They are apparent and can be easily avoided.
29. What does JC Cooper stress with her words in paragraph 2
A. The hidden dangers in the forest.
B. The symbols in different cultures.
C. The symbolic meaning of the forest.
D. The educational functions of the forest.
30. The woodland plays the role of a shelter for the hero in ______.
A. Rama and Sita
B. Beauty and the Beast
C. Little Red Riding Hood
D. An Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of Traditional Symbols
31. How is the text developed
A. By following time order. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining a principle.
D
There’s so much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. When plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. Moreover, the CO2 in the atmosphere is much more dilute than in, for example, waste gas from a power station or a steel plant. Capturing CO2 from the air is the most expensive application of carbon capture.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is one type of technological carbon removal, which obtains CO2 directly from the atmosphere at any location, unlike carbon capture which is generally carried out at the point of emissions. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations or used for a variety of applications.
Graphyte is a US company working on DAC. The company claims its carbon capture method is cheap, mainly because it lets plants do the work. The company collects unwanted wood products from farmers and furniture companies. It dries this “biomass” completely so that it can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes (打碎) the dried plants into small bricks which it seals in a special wrapper and buries deep underground.
Graphyte says its process doesn’t use much energy and can work anywhere. And the cost is less than $ 100 to capture a ton of CO2. The company is building a factory, but it’s not running yet.
Not everyone is excited about this carbon removal. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air.
32. What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph
A. Trees can purify the air in the sky.
B. Plants release more carbon dioxide.
C. Removing carbon from air is challenging.
D. CO2 emission reduction is urgently needed.
33. What does the underlined word “dilute” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Beneficial. B. Thin. C. Harmful. D. Concentrated.
34. What can we know about Graphyte’s DAC project
A. Its cost is relatively low.
B. It is in good operation now.
C. Its working condition is demanding.
D. It turns carbon into building materials.
35. What is the experts’ opinion about DAC technology
A. It will make a difference soon.
B. It can replace renewable energy in time.
C. It will result in more environmental concerns.
D. It can work together with other climate measures.

Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. 　36　 However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do.
The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. 　37　 And some organizations have an online database you can check.
　　Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. 　38
Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.
　 　39　 In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp—our smartphones!
　　Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached to minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. 　40　
A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.
B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.
C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.
D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do
E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation.
F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs.
G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.

Among the increasing number of foreign Internet influencers visiting China, American YouTube star Darren “IShowSpeed” is under the spotlight. 　56　
20-year-old streamer arrived in China on Monday, 　57　 (kick) off a journey that has already drawn massive global attention.
IShowSpeed’s China tour 　58　 (begin) in Shanghai, China’s busy finacial centre, where he streamed live for more than six hours, 　59　 (amaze) by the city’s tall buildings and lively streets.

Since 2022, IShowSpeed has been live-streaming his world 　60　 (adventure) trips to about 25 countries. His real-time broadcasts have had a lot of problems—from being attacked, cheated and robbed 61 having his streams suddenly stopped.
62 his China trip is different. It’s a rare and good experience in his broadcasting career. It not only provides a lot of content but also goes smoothly without any trouble throughout the whole journey.
An American blogger talked about IShowSpeed’s China journey and said: “The US government spent $1.6 billion last year saying bad things about China. But the influence of their action is less than 63 individual influencers can do by live-streaming real experiences. When creators just travel in China and show the 64 (true), those big publicity budgets become useless. That’s interesting in our digital age—real things are always better than made-up 65 (story).”

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。
It was a warm summer afternoon at the Jersey shore. Will, my son with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (孤独症), and I loved venturing off to the beach before dinner. The sun was still hot and shining bright. With a bucket in hand, we hit the sand and started our adventure. Will run quickly to the edge of the water before I got there, laughing as the waves nearly knocked him down. Will had spent many hours in therapy, helping him to overcome the many challenges he faced. The beach was now one of his favorite places to visit. I was thrilled, because it was a place where I felt at home and filled with peace, and I wanted to share that with Will.
On this particular day, we walked along the edge of the water, looking for seashells to fill our bucket, but there didn’t seem to be too many shells on the shore. Will began picking up whatever shells he saw. After a while, I looked into the bucket and saw nothing but broken shells. “Will,” I said, “all of these shells are broken. You need to find shells like this,” I continued, as I held up a perfect seashell. Will gave me a puzzled look and continued gathering whatever shells he came upon and dropping them into the bucket.
I continued my search, and stopped to watch him drop more broken shells into the bucket. Again, I asked, “Will, why do you insist on filling our bucket with broken shells ” He looked up at me, replying, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than the perfect ones. ” True, I thought, but who wanted a bucketful of broken shells Will stared at me as if he knew what I was thinking. “Mom, these shells are broken, but they’re still beautiful,” he added. Just then he reached his little hand into the bucket and pulled out the different shells and commented on their uniqueness. “This one is broken, but it has the color purple on it. Mom, none of yours have purple on them,” he said with pride.
Paragraph 1:
Astonished by Will’s words, I knelt down and took a closer look at the shells in the bucket.
Paragraph 2:
Back home, we created a “broken seashell garden” in our yard with the “broken” seashells together.2024—2025学年度第二学期高三第五次月考答案

Dear Mike,
I am extremely delighted to share with you that the Spring Festival has been officially included on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which fills me with great pride.
The Spring Festival is of great cultural significance. It is a time when families get reunited, enjoy all kinds of delicious food and celebrate the new year. It symbolizes hope, renewal and the spirit of togetherness. Traditions such as fireworks, red packets and dragon dances vividly reflect our rich heritage.
It will surely have a positive influence on the preservation and spread of our traditional Spring Festival cultures. It motivates us to cherish these practices and share them around the world, thus allowing the world to appreciate their beauty and depth.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

Astonished by Will’s words, I knelt down and took a closer look at the shells in the bucket. I found that just like what Will described every broken seashell was uniquely beautiful, highlighting their features—like purple colors, shapes resembling smiles or the sun, and forms reminding me of butterfly wings. My eyes were filled with tears as I realized my son was teaching me a most valuable lesson. I reached my hand to take out the few perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach. Together, Will and I walked along the beach, collecting only broken shells and admiring their uniqueness and beauty.
Back home, we created a “broken seashell garden” in our yard with the “broken” seashells together. Will gently stared at it, his eyes shining with quiet satisfaction. It dawned on me that none of us are perfect. We’re all broken in some way, but we still possess beauty and uniqueness. Now, whenever we go to the beach, we gather only broken shells. It’s true that while the perfect shells are few and far between, there are many more broken shells that go unnoticed. If we take the time to look more closely at the broken shells, we can find beauty in their imperfections, and maybe even learn something about ourselves.

Hello, I’m Harry. I’m here to talk about my work as a pilot for Emperor Airlines. Its headquarters are here in Texas and I moved here from California to take up the role last year. My love of flying started in childhood. My dad was a pilot so I traveled on planes from an early age. Later, I studied aeronautics at college in Ohio. I also joined a flying club to get a feel of flying a plane, which confirmed my flying career. After graduation, I got an opportunity with Emperor Airlines in California. It was a lengthy process with lots of training for trainee pilots. We learnt to tell the flight routes, work out the required fuel and so on. We were also trained to deal with emergencies. For example, we needed to make an emergency landing because of the sudden breakdown of an engine. That was the most difficult part of the training for me. Then I started at the bottom as a First Officer. Now I rank as a Senior First Officer. I like the view — my office window changes every day! And with the variety of passengers and crew I get to meet. Although I don’t come into as much contact with passengers as the flight crew, there’s never a boring moment.

22. 文章中提到:“立方房屋”是一系列的立方体房屋，它们安置在不同角度的六边形支柱上，因此它们看起来像是树木，共同构成一片森林。其余建筑并没有描述为树木的形状。故选A。
23. 文章提到“森林螺旋”是德国达姆施塔特的一个住宅建筑，而“Habitat 67"是加拿大蒙特利尔的一个住宅综合体。因此，这两座建筑的共同点是它们都是用于居住的。关于完成时间、绿色屋顶或外观看上去像立方体的信息，文章没有提供两者都符合的描述。故选B。

【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了在攀岩运动中应如何保护动植物。
36. 由空白处后的However可知，空白处前后应该是转折关系，空白处后提到攀岩过程中会对岩壁的生态系统造成不良影响，而G项中的an exciting adventure与空白处前的a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many相呼应，且与下文提到的不良影响形成对比。
37. 由空白处后的And可知，空白处与后一句在语义上是并列关系。后一句讲的是通过在线数据库查询，所以空白处讲的也是在哪里查询该区域是否有鸟类筑巢限制，故B项“此类信息通常可以在攀岩指南中找到”符合语境。
38. 空白处前提到攀岩者在开辟适宜攀岩的路线时，通常会除去路上的植物和土壤，空白处后提到需要了解线路开发对植被的潜在影响。故空白处应承上启下，提及为开辟新路可能对岩壁的生态系统产生的影响。因此，C项“这可能会摧毁之前存在的悬崖生态系统”符合语境。
39. 根据本段的collected data、contribute to science和 cansmoothly capture images等信息可知，本段主要谈论由于智能手机的普及，我们为科学做贡献变得更为便利。A项中的help by becoming a citizen scientist与文中的 contribute to science相呼应。
40. 空白处前提到可通过与自然保护组织合作，减少攀岩活动对环境的影响。但这些组织往往资金有限，依赖志愿者的支持。D项“何不联系一个能够激励你的组织，问问你能做些什么 ”符合语境，D项中的one指代conservation organization。
