文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一群孩子为无家可归者设计住宅小区。

1 . As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created miniature 3D printed villages to address homelessness, they learned lessons far beyond technology.

“It Takes a Village” began as a project for a science class, inspired by life-size 3D-printed homes built by Austin, Texas-based technology company Icon.

No strangers to classroom 3D projects, the students were fascinated by Icon’s use of a similar process to create homes made of inexpensive concrete-like material. Unlike standard construction methods, the process of building these durable homes takes just a few days.

While creating their mini 3D buildings, the students explored how such technology allows design freedom and quick changes. Mathematical conversions helped get the relations right. For example, a real 25-foot-by-20-foot one-bedroom house would be printed as 40-millimeter-by-32-millimeter (about 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/4 inch) for their mini village. Salwa Seman, 11, said that getting the dimensions and settings correct before construction began was challenging as she created a curved-wall amphitheater (圆形剧场).

The tech-focused project quickly evolved into “an exercise in empathy (共情), innovation and cooperation designed to bring about lasting change”. “When most people think of helping the homeless, they think of food and clothing drives,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. “While necessary, those are temporary fixes. Even housing by itself is not a complete solution.”

In designing their leave-homelessness-behind neighborhoods, priorities were shelter, food stores, schools, and health centers. But to build a sense of belonging and purpose, the miniature communities also emphasized areas for frequent interaction among residents. “We wanted to make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11. A community garden, a place to raise chickens, an amphitheater for shared events, bus stops for access to jobs, and infrastructure for Wi-Fi and cellphones to help in job searches were important features to offer formerly unhoused residents.

Amber Fogarty, president of a nonprofit organization tackling homelessness in Austin, said, “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but community will. People need a place where they are known, cared for and loved.”

1. Which can be used to describe homes created by Icon?
A.Hard-sided.
B.Long-lasting.
C.Rough-edged.
D.Strong-minded.
2. What conclusion can we draw from Galicia’ words?
A.Juliet Galicia has participated in food and clothing drives in the past.
B.Temporary solutions have proved to be of little help to unhoused people.
C.Providing unhoused people with a place to live will solve all of their problems.
D.A comprehensive approach is required to fully address the issue of homelessness.
3. The author may agree to the ideas EXCEPT that________.
A.a team of people can use 3D printing to build homes
B.builders can adapt a 3D-printed design to fit a person’s preferences
C.the students faced challenges in building their miniature communities
D.places for personal interactions are an important aspect of a community
4. What is the purpose of the sixth paragraph?
A.To emphasize community gardens as the most important part of neighborhoods.
B.To illustrate technology has nothing to do with helping unhoused people.
C.To show specific ways the students focused on more than just housing.
D.To promote the project as a profitable design to Austin.

5 . Canada is a land filled with fascinating places and amazing adventures. The only problem: Narrowing down your choice of destinations. Here are several of the best places to visit in Canada for any traveler determined to discover the true north.

Churchill, Manitoba

Set on the shores of Hudson Bay, this subarctic(靠近北极的)town has earned international fame as the polar bear capital of the world. So plentiful are the bears that the town actually has a polar bear prison,” which holds bears that are resistant to people's instruction and wander into town until they can be released back into the wild. Encountering a polar bear in the wild is no doubt an unforgettable experience.

Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta

Set inside the borders of the vast Banff National Park, Banff and Lake Louise is one of the best places to visit in Canada. Here you'll find a Rocky Mountain wonderland; a place of electric blue glacial lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife (from elk to bighorn sheep). Stay either in Banff, the busy center of the area and home to classic hotels like the Fairmont Banff Springs (one of Canada's greatest hotels), or hike trails up into the mountains—and unparalleled(无与伦比的)silence-are just steps away.

Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

Recently shortlisted in a massive international competition to name a new seven wonders of the natural world, the tides on this big bay, make it truly one of the best places to visit in Canada. The most extreme tides on earth, they rise and fall more than 50 feet in some places. These can be seen most dramatically at a place like Hopewell Rocks, unique stone formations that, at low tide, form towers on dry land but become islands as the water rises.

Quebec City

The oldest walled city in North America, Quebec City holds both British charm and culture alongside its unmistakable French-Canadian character. It also bears the distinction of being the place where, as every good Canadian history student knows, Wolfe defeated Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, securing Canada for the British Empire.

1. Why are the polar bears put into prison in Churchill?
A.Because there are a large number of bears.
B.Because the government wants to attract more tourists.
C.Because they don't follow people's guidance.
D.Because they resist living in town.
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A.When traveling in Canada, people have narrow choices of destinations.
B.You can enjoy neither busy life nor unparalleled silence in Banff and Lake Louise.
C.Hopewell Rocks stand like islands on dry land but turn into towers when the tide comes.
D.Britain and France once had a war to secure their own rule over Canada in Quebec City.
3. The author writes the text with the intention of        .
A.showing the most worth-visiting countryB.helping tourism boost in Canada
C.providing information for travelers to CanadaD.proving how knowledgeable the author is

6 . Many people travel to enjoy and enrich themselves. As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. Let’s take a look.

Solo travel

Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.

Augmented(增广的) attractions

World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes.

In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museums, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel.

Getting off the beaten path

In order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore.

1. The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is         .
A.to introduce the travel trends of 2019B.to encourage more people to travel
C.to recommend travel hot spotsD.to explain what makes a good trip
2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions.
B.Travelling alone benefits people a lot.
C.NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people.
D.VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Famous places are still popular with many travelers.
B.Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.
C.Many people like to search for places online.
D.Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.
