Four Highly Outstanding Awards in Architecture

Pritzker Architecture Prize

Founded in 1979 by the Pritzker family, and funded by their Hyatt Foundation, the Pritzker Architecture Prize aims to honor a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.

Architecture Master Prize

Established in 2016, the Architecture Master Prize (AMP) was created to honor, celebrate and share the very best projects in the fields of architectural design, interior design, and landscape architecture.

The latest winner of the RIBA International Prize, Children Village, by Aleph Zero and Rosenbaum of Brazil, demonstrates exactly what the RIBA jury is looking for-a project which fits its environment perfectly, achieving exactly what was needed in the brief but going beyond this, into those rare strata (层) of perfection.

AIA Gold Medal

The American Institute of Architects (AIA), founded in 1857, runs more than thirty award programs, with the most famous and prestigious (有威望的) being the Gold Medal.

Tu Youyou is a Chinese medical scientist, pharmaceutical (制药的) chemist, and educator best known for discovering artemisinin (also known as qinghao su). The discovery of artemisinin and its treatment of malaria are regarded as a significant breakthrough of tropical medicine in the 20th century and health improvement for people of tropical developing countries in South Asin, Africa, and South America.

For her work Tu received the 2011 Lasker Award in Clinical Medicine and the 2015 Nobel prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine. The Nobel Committee puts Tu’s work well by writing: “Malaria infects close to 200 million individuals yearly. Artemisinin is used in all malaria-ridden parts of the world. When used in combination treatment, it is estimated to reduce the death rate from malaria by more than 20% overall and by more than 30% in children. For Africa alone, this means that more than 100, 000 lives are saved each year.”

In China, Tu is known as a “sanwu scientist”. Tu has spent no time studying abroad, no membership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and no doctoral degree. The Xinhua News Agency has commented on the significance of Tu’s achievement, “Not only is Tu the first Chinese Nobel laureate (获奖者) in natural science, but also the first Nobel laureate who received all scientific training in China. The award she won made Chinese scientists gain tremendous confidence.”

As part of the program charged with finding a treatment for malaria, Tu was inspired by an ancient Chinese text which said qinghao was used to tackle intermittent fevers (间歇热) around 400 AD. In the herb Tu discovered a compound, now known as artemisinin, which proved an effective treatment for the infection. Tu herself volunteered to be the first human recipient.

An article Tu Youyou published in Nature in 2011 ended up with an insightful sentence. “It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide, and people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion,” Tu wrote.

24. What can we learn about qinghao su?

A. It was discovered in the 21st century.    B. It is beneficial to people in tropical areas.

C. It was first plied to physiology in 2011.    D. It helps doctors cheek the infective disease.

25. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The importance of the Nobel Prize.     B. The malaria’s effects on human health.

C. The achievements made by Tu Youyou.    D. The people’s suffering from infective diseases.

26. What can we infer about Tu Youyou from paragraph 3?

A. She has studied abroad for several years.

B. She has got the highest degree in medicine.

C. She is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

D. She has set a good example for many Chinese scientists.

27. What do the words Tu Youyou wrote in Nature show?

A. Her passion for Chinese medicine.     B. Her doubt about Chinese medicine.

C. Her dream of getting prices from Nature.   D. Her hesitation in doing medical research.

C

Over the last 50 years, the environmental movement has become so closely associated with the color green that it’s almost impossible to see a green poster, label or recycling bag without thinking about our plane’s future. But though that connection is the product of a very recent crisis, its origins go back some way. We have identified green with nature and its processes for thousands of years. Indeed, the very word “green” comes from the ancient Proto-Indo-European word ghre, meaning “grow”.

The human species has a special biological bond with green. Unlike most mammals, which are red-green color blind, we developed a third cone cell. This additional photoreceptor (光感受器) enabled our ancestors to spot ripe red and yellow fruits against the green ones, and to distinguish different green leaves from each other. In daylight conditions, human eyes are more sensitive to green than any other colors.

All over the world, people shared feelings with nature through green materials. Jade, for instance, was used to make objects that would guarantee a successful harvest. The Maya buried their leaders with jade masks for this reason. The ancient Egyptians, who were farming the banks of the Nile from about 8000 BC, identified their crops with green. Their term for the color was wadj, which also meant flourish (繁荣). Egyptian painters often described their god of agriculture, Osiris, as a bright green being.

While the future of our planet remains uncertain, many scientists are convinced that leaves will prove to be a decisive weapon in our battle against climate change. This is as it should be. After all, for early farmers waiting for schools to emerge from the soil and for modern-day activists determined to bring about a sustainable future, green was, and is, a color of hope—after a long cold winter or a drought-ridden summer, the arrival of green will signal a new beginning.

28. What has happened over the past 50 years according to the text?

A. People have been used to buying recycled paper bags.

B. A large number of posters have been designed by artists.

C Many factories have closed down due to the serious pollution.

D. The environmental movement has greatly affected the Earth’s future.

29. Why are most mammals red-green blind?

A. They have a special bond with red.

B. Their eyes are more sensitive to red.

C. They lack a kind of photoreceptor cell.

D. Their brains have additional photoreceptors.

30. How does the author state his opinion in paragraph 3?

A. By making a comparison.     B. By giving examples.

C. By raisin a question.      D. By using statistics.

31. What does the underlined word “decisive” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Crucial.    B. Abstract.   C. Complex.     D. Distant.

D

Climate change and land-use change are projected to make wildfires more frequent and intense, with a global increase of extreme fires of up to 14 per cent by 2030, 30 per cent by the end of 2050 and 50 per cent by the end of the century, according to a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and GRID-Arendal.

The paper calls for a complete change in government spending on wildfires changing their investments from reaction and response to prevention and preparedness.

The report, Spreading like Wildfire: The Rising Threat of Extraordinary Landscape Fires, finds a higher risk even for the Arctic and other regions previously unaffected by wildfires. The report had been released before representatives of 193 nations held a meeting in Nairobi for the restarted 5th session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2), between 28 February and 2 March, 2022.

The publication calls on governments to adopt a new “Fire Ready Formula” with two-thirds of spending devoted to planning, prevention, preparedness, and recovery, with one third left for response. Currently, direct responses to wildfires typically receive over hall of related cost, while planning and prevention receive less than one per cent.

To prevent fires, authors call for a combination of data and science-based monitoring systems with native knowledge and for a stronger regional and international cooperation.

“Current government responses to wildfires are often putting money in the wrong place. Those emergency service workers and firefighters on the frontlines who are risking their lives to fight forest wildfires need to be supported. We have to reduce the risk of extreme wildfires by being better prepared: invest more in fire risk reduction, work with local communities, and strengthen global commitment to fight climate change.” said Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director.

Wildfires disproportionately (不成比例地) affect the world’s poorest nations. With an impact that extends for days, weeks and even years after the flames die down, they block progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Coals and deepen social inequalities.

32. What does the paper appeal to the government to do with wildfires?

A. Invest more money on forecast.

B. Give advanced warning to wild animals

C. Focus on the act of stopping them from happening,

D. Plant more tress to make up for the loss of forests.

33 What’s Inger Andersen’s attitude towards the current government’s measure?

A. Supportive.    B. Critical.     C. Unfair.     D. Unconcerned.

34. What is the author likely to talk about next?

A. The areas hit by climate change.      B. The names of the world’s poorest nations.

C. The relationship between wildfires and health.   D. The bad effects of wildfires on different fields.

35. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Wildfires are spreading worldwide.

B. The UN held a meeting to discuss wildfires.

C. Governments should prepare themselves for wildfires.

D. The UNEP Executive Director released a report on wildfires.

Hudson had been looking forward to this trip for weeks. This was more than the usual excitement about end-of-year trips. And now, finally, after weeks of expectation, Hudson, Davion, Tasha, and their friends Trey and Justin were at Six Flags Great America, which was home to more roller coasters and games than any place north of Florida.

They were waiting in line for the Twisted Twister—the scariest roller coaster. In front of them, the coaster rose threateningly out of the ground. From the very beginning, the Twisted Twister lived up to its name. The black coaster tracks corkscrewed 5 almost immediately. Then, the riders in the yellow cars were given a moment to catch their breath as they were cranked (转动) slowly to the top of a hill. But the relief didn’t last long. As soon as the roller coaster cars were over the peak, the track twisted again. And again and again and again.

Glancing at it, Hudson felt his stomach was too tight to say anything at all, The Twisted Twister was the scariest roller coaster he had ever seen. But he wasn’t about to mention his fear to his friends. Because they would tell him that he was acting like a little kid, too scared to go on the park’s best ride. He felt dorky and awkward standing there. The sea of people between them and the Twisted Twister was steadily getting smaller. Hudson smiled weakly as his friends cheered when they counted just three rope barriers to go. Then two. Then one. And then they were at the stairs. Davion, Justin, and Trey were nearly jumping up and down with excitement. But Hudson could only hear people screaming, and he couldn’t even tell if the screams were because of delight or terror. And he knew, suddenly, that he could not make it.

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。

Without a word, Hudson turned, pushed past the crowd and ran out of the line.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________        

Just then, he saw his other friends coming, big smiles on their faces.

One possible version:

Without a word, Hudson turned, pushed past the crowd and ran out of the line. Their faces blurred in front of him. He’d made it down the stairs before he stopped to take a breath. Now that his fear and panic had started to fade, embarrassment was creeping in. “Hey!” Somehow, Tasha was standing in front of him, “It’s okay if you are afraid. I get so scared before shows that I can’t eat for about two hours before going on stage.” Shocked to hear those words, Hudson stood still without any words. It suddenly hit him that what mattered most was to have fun with his friends.

Just then, he saw his other friends coming, big smiles on their faces. “Are you ready to try with us?” Davion said. Seeing their grins and encouraging eyes, Hudson nodded his head. The moment they got to the stairs, his stomach started to clench again, but he tried to take each step forward. Finally, he got in the car. WHOOSH! Almost without warning, the ride started. It felt like he’d left his heart on the loading platform. He was flying and he heard himself scream as delight spilled out of him. Later when they got out, they took a picture by the ride’s sign. It served as a reminder of what was more important to him than fear.
