18 years ago,a 14-year-old boy from Kasungu district in Malawi was forced to drop out of school for lack of
fees.At the same time,a severe famine was destroying his village,claiming people's lives and leaving desperation in
its wake.
This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up.Young as he was,
he knew that education was where his future lay.He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he
harvested from its books.It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy.He learned that
he could generate electricity using wind.The youngster realized that,if mastered,this power could help his village in
exceptional ways.
Armed with determination and an iron will,the teenager set out to build a wIndmill out of random materials
from a scrapyard(垃圾场).Though his outside world was collapsing to dust,the youngster did not hesitate about his
purpose.He defended himself from all doubt and criticism.He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity
to his village became reality.Soon,he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that
he would never have stepped on without his invention.
In his village,the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land.Windmills
pump water to irrigate crops,sweeping away another period of hunger.William's former primary school boasts new
and stronger buildings,thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers'united efforts.
What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every
one of us,persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone.William refused to be a school drop-out forever.He sought
solutions for his problems and continued fighting even when the going got tough.He was able to rise above poverty
to become a graduate from one of America's best universities,Dartmouth College.

Lord Norman Foster,renowned as one of the world's foremost architects,has devoted decades to redefining the
concept of tall buildings.What we've done is create a sense of identity drawn from real needs,Foster said.It's not
a fashionable idea,but generated from the realities we were in.His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as
the HSBC building in Hong Kong.Now,he's set his sights on Qatar.
Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters,Foster's Lusail Towers are ready to claim
the title of Qatar's tallest buildings.Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar's financial institutions,
with four distinctive blocks,two standing at 70 stories and two at 50 stories.
But the construction itself wasn't all plain sailing.To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar's hot
climate,Foster's team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries—part of
what Foster called a decades-long quest to“reinvent the tall building.”The design combines advanced shading with
ventilation(通风),while the towers' surfaces are coated with“marine-grade”aluminum(铝)that wraps around the
buildings,protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light.
Central to the project are special shading fins(鳍),which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants
but reduce solar radiation by 70%compared to traditional all-glass towers.
While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail,Foster believes that a city's skyline
reflects what lies beneath the surface.It was crucial to integrate the towers into alow-scale master plan.They are
strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront(滨水
区)to the nearby football stadium.According to Foster,the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role
in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.
28.According to Foster's concept,what should tall buildings be like?
A.Renowned. B.Identical.
C.Fashionable. D.Practical.
29.What can we learn about the Lusail Towers?
A.They will function as a global financial center. B.They are expected to be Qartar's tallest building.
C.They are Foster's most renowned iconic masterpiece. D.They have four blocks with the same style and height.
30.What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar's hot climate?
A.Coating the tower with an unconventional material.
B.Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C.Replacing the glass withmarine-gradealuminum.
D.Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.
31.What's the goal of low-scale master plan?
A.To link the waterfront to the football stadium. B.To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.
C.To offer a dynamic public space for the future. D.To connect a subway and a commercial avenue.
D
An ancient,interdependent relationship that contributes to food systems and ecosystem stability across the globe
could be changing
Many flowering plants can self-pollinate(自花传粉),or transfer pollen between their own blossoms for seed
generation and reproduction,but most of these plants have relied on pollinators such as butterflies and bees to
reproduce.Now—during declines reported in many pollinator populations—a new study on the evolution of one
flower species'mating system has revealed a remarkable change that could worsen the challenges faced by the plants'
insect partners.
The flowers' reproductive evolution may be linked to environmental changes such as habitat destruction and
rapid ongoing decreases in pollinator biodiversity,according to Samson Acoca-Pidolle,who led the study published
December 19 in the journal New Phytologist.
Comparing seeds of wild field pansies(三色堇)collected decades ago in France with the plants'modern
descendants,Acoca-Pidolle and his colleagues discovered that today's flowers are smaller and produce less nectar(花
蜜)as a result of increased self-pollination,which has direct impacts on pollinator behavior.The pansies of the past
self-fertilized less and attracted far more pollinators than those of the present,according to the study.
“It seems that it's only traits(特性)that are involved in plant-pollinator interaction that are evolving,”said
Acoca-Pidolle.The changes could restrict the plants'ability to adapt to future environmental changes and have
implications for“all of floral biodiversity—potentially decreasing flowering plants'genetic,species and ecosystem
variation.
“This may increase the pollinator decline and cause a negative feedback cycle,”study coauthor Pierre-Olivier
Cheptou told CNN.If plants produce less nectar,there will be less food available to pollinators,which will in turn
accelerate the rate at which the animals'numbers decrease,he explained.
“The major message is that we are currently seeing the evolutionary breakdown of plant pollinators in the
wild,”said Cheptou,an evolutionary ecologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and professor
at the University of Montpellier.
32.Which of the following may contribute to the flowers'reproductive evolution?
A.Changed behaviour of pollinators. B.Severe pollution to the habitats.
C.Continuing decline in pollinator biodiversity. D.Increased plant-pollinator interaction.
33.Why were pansies in the past larger and produced more nectar?
A.They self-pollinated less. B.They had a better mating system.
C.They attracted less pollinators. D.They were fertilized by themselves.
