27、At Cleveland Bridge, in Bath, a long line of traffic is building up. Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.

Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are prized and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are clashing with attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance”says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s MP “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”

Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants-and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5.000 of Bath’s buildings-nearly 10% of the total-are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.

Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but account for 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.

Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17t-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently booted out of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare" of getting permission to dig up old pavements.

All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone”outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms Hobhouse.

【1】What problem does Bath face?

A．It is getting more and more crowded due to the repairs that are under way

B．Its historical significance makes it hard to reform it into an eco-friendly city

C．It refuses to admit that the climate emergency is already a cause of concern

D．Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 wins no support from the city residents

【2】The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (paragraph 4) is intended to _________.

A．question the validity of the A-G scale

B．highlight the long history of Bath’s buildings

C．emphasize the buildings are not energy efficient

D．illustrate the features that Bath’s buildings share

【3】It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that Joanna Wright _________.

A．failed to perform her duties well

B．managed to dig up some old pavements

C．succeeded in building bike lanes in Bath

D．removed charging points from Bath’s streets

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Wera Hobhouse doesn’t care much about the public benefit

B．Traditional buildings in Bath are not accessible to tourists now

C．Local people in Bath used to favour heritage over sustainability

D．Bath has been leading the way in constructing a carbon-neutral city

29、   James Harrison is called “The Man With the Golden Arm”. The Australian man has saved the lives of more than 2.4 million babies by donating blood nearly every week for 60 years.

At the age of 14, Harrison had an 11-hour operation to remove a lung. “I received 13 units of blood and my life was saved by unknown people,” Harrison said. “When I’m old enough, I’ll become a blood donor.”

That is exactly what Harrison did Soon afterward, the doctor told him that his blood contains the rare antibody that can help mothers who have rhesus disease, a condition where a pregnant woman’s blood attacks the blood cells of her fetus(胎儿). In the worst case, it can result in brain damage or death of the baby. And until about 1967, thousands of babies died each year in Australia.

Before long, researchers had developed an injection(注射剂), called Anti-D, using Harrison’s donated blood. Because about 17 percent of pregnant women in Australia require the Anti-D injections, the blood service estimates Harrison has helped about 2.4 million babies in the county. At the age of 81, he had already passed the age limit allowed for donors, and the blood service had suggested Harrison should stop donating to ensure his health.

Harrison was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of his extraordinary efforts and generosity, but he doesn’t consider himself a hero. He has donated his blood 1,173 times, which breaks the Guinness World Records. But in all those times of donating blood, he has never once watched. “I look at the celling or the nurses and maybe talk with them. I feel faint at the sight of blood, and I can’t stand the pain.”

【1】What contributed to Harrison’s becoming a blood donor?

A．The rare antibody in his blood.

B．His gratitude to the blood donors.

C．The request from the blood service.

D．His pain during the removal of his lung.

【2】What’s Anti-D used to do?

A．Save babies by giving them injections.

B．Protect babies from common illnesses.

C．Cure pregnant mothers of rhesus disease.

D．Prevent women’s blood from being attacked.

【3】For what does Harrison break the Guinness World Records?

A．The age among blood donors.

B．The amount of blood he donated.

C．The number of donations he made.

D．The number of babies he saved by donating.

【4】What does the author think of Harrison?

A．He is kind and curious.

B．He is generous and modest

C．He is selfless and shy.

D．He is sympathetic and cautious.

32、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。

Navratri was almost here! Deepa couldn't wait for the party in the dance hall. She'd wear her special two-piece dress with tiny bells on it. She'd jump and skip just to hear those bells jingle.

"I think you should try it on," Mom said, handing Deepa the skirt. "You've grown a lot this year. It may not fit."

Deepa stepped into her skirt and tried pulling it up. Mom made a worried expression and said, "It's too small. Try the blouse." But that was small, too.

Deepa's throat tightened. Last year, Deepa and Mom had flown to India to visit Deepa's aunt, or Masi, for Navratri. Masi had taken Deepa shopping for a holiday dress. Deepa had loved the way the bells on Masi's anklets jingled as they walked through the market. When Deepa found a dress that jingled, too, she cried, "That one!"

For nine nights, she and her aunt had laughed and danced in the village with their skirts. And now the dress no longer fit.

"Can we have it changed?" Deepa asked. "We can try," said Mom. But when the tailor looked at the dress, he shook his head. He said it could only be made smaller. That afternoon, Deepa and her mom went to an Indian store in the mall and picked out a dress covered with little mirrors. It didn't feel special. But it fit. Deepa tried getting into the holiday spirit as they drove to the Navratri party. But her dress was too quiet.

In the parking lot, Mom opened the car trunk to put away her bag. Deepa noticed a familiar bag. "Is that my dress?" she asked. "I forgot to put it away," Mom said, closing the trunk. No one would ever see it again, Deepa thought sadly.

As they neared the dance hall, Deepa heard drums beating and people laughing. Inside, hundreds of dancers clacked colorful sticks together in a circle. The room felt warm and alive.

A lady danced past and her little girl followed, jumping along holding sticks tied with bells. Deepa smiled. It was like watching herself with Masi. Later, paper plates thick with sauce were served.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The girl squeezed past Deepa, carrying a plate.
