David Chipperfield, the British designer knwn fr his minimalist and inclusive spaces, has wn the Pritzker Prize, ften called “the Nbel Prize f architecture”. With this hnr, he jins the cmpany f grundbreaking designers such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Richard Rgers and Oscar Niemeyer.
Chipperfield has distinguished his wrks by creating sharp, minimalist scially cnscius buildings. The Pritzker cmmittee wrte, “His architectural language balances cnsistency with the fundamental design principles and flexibility twards the lcal cultures wrk f David Chipperfield harmnizes Eurpean classicism, the cmplex nature f Britain and even the delicateness f Japan.”
In 1997, Chipperfield’s firm was chsen t renvate Berlin’s Neues Museum, which was a mess lng after being damaged by Wrld War I. Chipperfield apprached the prject in hnr f the building’s histry. Fr mre than a decade, he searched thrugh stnes and bricks frm the riginal structure fr pieces t use,sme f which had bullet (子弹) hles in them.
The architect has applied the same belief t his recent wrks, including the expansin f the Ryal Academy f Arts in Lndn, where he renvated galleries, created a new auditrium (礼堂) and built a cncrete bridge t cnnect its riginal buildings.
“While sme architects may use the attentin that cmes with the Pritzker Prize t g big and advance their cmmercial ambitins, Chipperfield’s win is unlikely t result in steel-and-glass supertall skyscrapers,” writes Blmberg’s Kristn Capps.
Instead, Chipperfield says he will wrk harder t create architecture that has a specific missin.“I regard this award as an encuragement, cntinuing t direct my attentin nt nly t the substance f architecture and its meaning but als t the cntributin that we can make as architects t address the existing challenges f climate change and scial inequality,” he says in a statement. He adds,” We must rise t these challenges and help inspire the next generatin t shulder this respnsibility with visin and curage.”

A. The fierce cmpetitin fr the Pritzker Prize.
B. The inspiratin fr Chipperfield’s design features.
C. Chipperfield’s gal t becme a leading architect.
D. Chipperfield’s amazing architectural achievements.
25. What makes Chipperfield’s wrks unique accrding t the Pritzker cmmittee?
A. The creatin f visually striking buildings.
B. The integratin f different cultural elements.
C. The cnsistent design style in different prjects.
D. The flexible selectin f architectural materials.
26. What des the underlined wrd “renvate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Research.B. Restre.C. Build.D. Decrate.
27. What des Chipperfield hpe t d with his architecture?
A. Realize persnal cmmercial ambitins.
B. Take up envirnmental prtectin industry.
C. Make a psitive impact n critical scial issues.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奇普菲尔德获普利兹克奖，其作品独特，追求对社会问题产生积极影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“David Chipperfield, the British designer knwn fr his minimalist and inclusive spaces, has wn the Pritzker Prize, ften called “the Nbel Prize f architecture”. With this hnr, he jins the cmpany f grundbreaking designers such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Richard Rgers and Oscar Niemeyer.(以极简主义和包容空间著称的英国设计师David Chipperfield获得了普利兹克奖，被称为“建筑界的诺贝尔奖”。凭借这一荣誉，他加入了Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Richard Rgers 和Oscar Niemeyer等开创性设计师的行列)”可知，David Chipperfield 获得建筑学界的诺贝尔奖，并进入到具有开创性的建筑家行列，由此可见其取得的成就之大。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段普利兹克建筑奖委员会所说的“The wrk f David Chipperfield harmnizes Eurpean classicism, the cmplex nature f Britain and even the delicateness f Japan.( David Chipperfield的作品协调了欧洲古典主义、英国的复杂本质，甚至是日本的精致。)”可知，David Chipperfield 的作品融合了欧洲、英国和日本等元素。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“In 1997, Chipperfield’s firm was chsen t renvate Berlin’s Neues Museum, which was a mess lng after being damaged by Wrld War I. Chipperfield apprached the prject in hnr f the building’s histry. Fr mre than a decade, he searched thrugh stnes and bricks frm the riginal structure fr pieces t use,sme f which had bullet (子弹) hles in them.( 1997年，Chipperfield的公司被选中翻新柏林的新博物馆，该博物馆在第一次世界大战中遭到破坏后很久就陷入了混乱。Chipperfield为了纪念这座建筑的历史而接触了这个项目。十多年来，他在原建筑的石头和砖块中寻找可以使用的碎片，其中一些上面有弹孔。)”可知，Neues Museum在一战中受损，David Chipperfield 作为建筑师尊重该博物馆的历史，寻找博物馆原始结构中的“断壁残垣”，由此可见 David Chipperfield 是对该博物馆进行修复，故所猜测的单词renvate 意为“修复”。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Chipperfield 所说的“I regard this award as an encuragement, cntinuing t direct my attentin nt nly t the substance f architecture and its meaning but als t the cntributin that we can make as architects t address the existing challenges f climate change and scial inequality, (我认为这个奖项是一种鼓励，它不仅继续引导我关注建筑的实质及其意义，而且还关注我们作为建筑师可以做出的贡献，以应对气候变化和社会不平等的现有挑战。)”可知， Chipperfield 未来为解决气候问题和社会不公平等问题作出贡献，对社会所面临的紧急问题产生积极的影响。故选C。

Birders get nervus when they see landscapes cvered in wind turbines (涡轮机). When the wind gets ging, their blades (叶片) can turn arund at well ver 200km per hur. It is easy t imagine careless birds getting cut int pieces and wind turbines d indeed kill at least sme birds. But a new analysis f American data suggests the numbers are negligible, and have little impact n bird ppulatins.
Erik Katvich, an ecnmist at the University f Geneva, made use f the Christmas BirdCunt, a citizen-science prject run by the Natinal Audubn Sciety. Vlunteers cunt birds they spt ver Christmas, and the sciety gathers the numbers. He assumed, reasnably, that if wind turbines harmed bird ppulatins, the numbers seen in the Christmas Bird Cunt wuld drp in places where new turbines had been built. Cmbining bird ppulatin and species maps with the lcatins and cnstructin dates f all wind turbines, he fund building turbines had n nticeable effect n bird ppulatins.
Instead f limiting his analysis t wind pwer alne, he als examined il-and-gas extractin (开采), which has bmed in America ver the past cuple f decades. Cmparing bird ppulatins t the lcatins f new gas wells revealed an average 15% drp in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, prbably due t a cmbinatin f nise, air pllutin and the disturbance f rivers and pnds that many birds rely upn. When drilling happened in migratin centers, feeding grunds r breeding lcatins, bird numbers instead drpped by 25%.
Wind pwer, in ther wrds, nt nly prduces far less planet-heating carbn dixide and methane than d fssil fuels. It appears t be significantly less damaging t wildlife, t. Yet that is nt the impressin yu wuld get frm reading the news. Dr Katvich fund 173 stries in majr American news media reprting the suppsed negative effects that wind turbines had n birds in 2020, cmpared with nly 46 stries discussing the effects f il-and-gas wells.
28. What des the underlined wrd“negligible”in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Insignificant.B. Inaccurate.C. Incnsistent.D. Indefinite.
29. What is Dr Katvich's cnclusin based n?
A. Previus studies.B. Relevant data.
C. Reasnable predictin.D. Experiment results.
30. What message des paragraph 3 mainly try t cnvey?
A. Oil-and-gas extractin has expanded in America.
B. Birds are heavily dependent n rivers and pnds.
C. Many factrs lead t the decline f bird ppulatins.
D. Well drilling pses a serius threat t birds' survival.
31. Which f the fllwing may Dr Katvich agree with?
A. Wind turbines culd share the sky with wildlife.
B. Mre evidence is needed t cnfirm the finding.
C. Wind pwer will be substituted fr fssil fuels.
D. Wind turbines deserve wider media cverage.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响微乎其微。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“a new analysis f American data suggests the numbers(但一项对美国数据的新分析表明)”以及划线单词后的“and have little impact n bird ppulatins.(并且对鸟类种群的影响很小。)”可知，一项对美国数据的新分析表明涡轮机对鸟类数量的影响不大，由此可知，划线单词negligible的意思应与“不重要”或者“微不足道”意思相近。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Erik Katvich, an ecnmist at the University f Geneva, made use f the Christmas Bird Cunt, a citizen-science prject run by the Natinal Audubn Sciety.(日内瓦大学的经济学家埃里克·卡托维奇（Erik Katvich）利用了圣诞鸟类统计，这是一个由美国国家奥杜邦协会（Natinal Audubn Sciety）运营的公民科学项目。)”可知，Erik Katvich的结论是基于奥杜邦协会公民科学项目“the Christmas Bird Cunt”获取的数据。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Cmparing bird ppulatins t the lcatins f new gas wells revealed an average 15% drp in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, prbably due t a cmbinatin f nise, air pllutin and the disturbance f rivers and pnds that many birds rely upn. When drilling happened in migratin centers, feeding grunds r breeding lcatins, bird numbers instead drpped by 25%.(将鸟类数量与新气井的位置进行比较发现，当新气井钻探时，鸟类数量平均下降了15%，这可能是由于噪音、空气污染以及鸟类赖以生存的河流和池塘的干扰。当钻探发生在迁徙中心、觅食地或繁殖地时，鸟类数量反而下降了25%。)”可知，油气钻探造成了鸟类数量的减少，由此可以推断，油气钻探给鸟类的生存带来了严重的威胁。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“It appears t be significantly less damaging t wildlife, t(它对野生动物的伤害似乎也要小得多。)”以及上文中分析的涡轮机和油气钻探对鸟类数量的影响可知，作者认为相对于油气钻探来说，风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响较小，由此可以推断，作者会同意风力涡轮机可以与野生动物共存。故选A项。

Scientists have fund a new way t break dwn a grup f harmful chemicals very hard t get rid f. The discvery culd help slve a dangerus and grwing prblem — hw t clean up the pllutin f “frever chemicals”.
The grup f chemicals knwn as PFAS (全氟烷基物) are pretty amazing. They’re nn-stick, waterprf, and il prf. They dn’t burn easily r disslve (溶解) in water. S scientists gt really excited when they were discvered. Businesses started putting PFAS in all srts f prducts, frm nn-stick pans t waterprf clthes, and frm fire-fighting spray t carpets that resist stains. Even things like fd wrappers and flss fr cleaning yur teeth cntain PFAS chemicals.
But after a while, scientists realized the same things that made the chemicals useful als caused a real prblem — PFAS desn’t break dwn in nature. It desn’t disslve in water r bum. Nt even bacteria can break PFAS dwn. N wnder these chemicals are knwn as “frever chemicals”.
As a result, PFAS chemicals surge in the envirnment. The chemicals are fund in air, water, and dirt arund the wrld — and in animals and peple. In the US, 97% f humans have PFAS in their bld.
Luckily, scientists in the US have nw fund a way t break dwn sme PFAS chemicals. Their slutin requires biling PFAS with tw ther very cmmn chemicals. These chemicals can be fund in just abut any labratry.
Dr. Brittany Trang, ne f the scientists invlved, said she didn’t even want t test the idea at first. “I thught it was t simple,” she said. But the prcess wrked.
The research invlved 10 types f PFAS, including tw f the mst cmmn kinds. That’s a big step. But there are ver 12,000 different kinds f PFAS. It’s imprtant t nte that the new methd can nly break dwn PFAS chemicals that have already been cllected. Figuring ut hw t remve PFAS chemicals frm the envirnment and cllect them remains a huge challenge.
32. What can we infer abut PFAS chemicals frm paragraph 2?
A. Scientists were s excited t invent them.
B. They were envirnmentally friendly at first.
C. They are really widely used in ur daily life.
D. They have mre advantages than disadvantages.
33. What des the underlined wrd “surge” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Increase fast.B. Flat everywhere.C. Extend fully.D. React quickly.
34. What des the authr think f dealing with PFAS chemicals?
A. It’s already t late t get rid f them.
B. There’s still a lng way t g abut it.
C. The new methd is t simple t wrk well.
D. It’s impssible t get them remved frm the envirnment.
35. Which is the best title fr the text?
A. Say Gdbye t Frever Chemicals
B. PFAS Chemicals Are a Tw-edged Swrd
C. PFAS Chemicals Will Remain a Challenge fr Lng
D Scientists Find a Way t Break dwn Frever Chemicals
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了数学里面最著名的常量之一：圆周率π。作为一个无限不循环小数，有人挑战记忆它的巨长的数字，但是无人能背到它的最后一个数字。它的作用很大，被运用到很多领域之中。
【56题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：3月14日即将到来，数学学习者知道这意味着什么。分析句子可知，knw“知道”后接宾语从句，需要使用关系代词what引导，在从句中作主语。故填what。
【57题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：π等于圆的周长除以圆的直径。分析句子可知，此处divide“除以”需要使用过去分词形式，作the circumstance f a circle“圆的周长”的后置定语，即被除以直径的圆周长。故填divided。
【58题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：这适用于各种大小的圆圈，从便士到披萨，再到行星。分析句子可知，此处无表示单数的量词或冠词修饰的可数名词penny“便士”需要填写复数形式pennies。故填pennies。
【59题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这就是为什么在3月14日庆祝圆周率日。分析句子可知，此处动词celebrate“庆祝”作表语从句的谓语动词，使用一般现在时的被动语态表示“被庆祝”。故填is celebrated。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：但π的确切值实际上不可能写出。分析句子可知，此处形容词actual“实际的”需要使用副词形式，修饰后面的形容词impssible“不可能”。故填actually。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：去年，一台强大的计算机计算出了破纪录的62.8万亿数字。分析句子可知，此处名词pwer“力量”需要改为形容词pwerful “强大的”作定语修饰cmputer“电脑”。故填pwerful。
【62题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：然而，没有人会算到圆周率的最后一个数字。分析句子可知，此处需要添加定冠词the表示特指圆周率这个数字的终点。故填the。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：历史学家不确定人们何时首次发现圆周率的概念。分析句子可知，此处discver“发现”作宾语从句的谓语动词，与主语peple构成主动关系，且是过去发生的事情，故使用一般过去时。故填discvered。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：但它已经以某种形式被知道了近4000年。分析句子可知，此处时间状语almst 4,000 years“将近4,000年”表示持续的时间，使用介词fr连接符合语法规则。故填fr。
【65题详解】
考查不定式。句意：埃及人可能使用了圆周率修筑金字塔。分析句子可知，动词build“修建”需要使用不定式，表示使用圆周率的目的。故填t build。
