Earl Forlales, a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering, took inspiration from the bamboo hut
his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in
four hours to solve the chronic( 长 期 的 ) shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines. His
design won a £50.000 top prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in its Cities for our
Future competition.
His house, known as Cubo, could be produced in a week, constructed in four hours and costs £60 per
square meter. Its use of bamboo—which releases 35％ more oxygen into the environment than trees—was
praised by the judges. The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of
the key attractions.
“The world’s cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean
and comfortable places to live in,”John Hughes, the competition’s head judge and then president at RICS,
said. “As we look at our competitors, who are our next generation of leaders， I believe that real progress
will be made in tackling the world’s biggest issues.
Forlales has already identified a suitable area of land to start building his Cubo houses. He plans to
begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressure on
housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts. He said, “I would like to
thank RICS for the opportunity, and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in
Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world.”【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 6 页 共 10 页
24. What contributes most to Forlales’ winning the prize？
A. The material of his house. B. The shape of his house.
C. The design of his house. D. The expense of his house.
25. Which word can best replace the underline word “tackling” in Paragraph 3?
A. Facing. B. Treating C. Covering. D. Handling.
26. What can we infer about the Cubo house？
A. It is created by Forlales and his parents
B. It is environmentally friendly and economical.
C. It has already been built in Forlales’ hometown.
D. It can be constructed in a week.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title？
A. A Competition in House Building B. A Man Devoted to City Development
C. The Bamboo House Winning a top Prize D. The Way to Solve Housing Shortage

Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2020
occurs on Wednesday, April 22—the holiday’s 50th anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration
that’s sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living.
By the early 1960s, Americans were becoming aware of the effects of pollution on the environment.
Rachael Carson’s 1962 bestseller Silent Spring pointed out the dangerous effects of pesticides(杀虫剂) on
the American countryside. Later in the decade, a 1969 fire on Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River shed light on
the problem of chemical waste disposal. Until that time, protecting the planet’s natural resources was not
part of the national political plan. Only a small portion of the American population was familiar with
environmental issues—let alone practiced-recycling.
Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962, Senator(参议员) Gaylord Nelson was determined to convince the
federal government that the planet was at risk. In the fall of 1969, Nelson, considered one of the leaders of
the modern environmental movement, announced the Earth Day concept at a conference in Seattle and
invited the entire nation to get involved. He later recalled: “The response was electric. Telegrams, letters
and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the country. The American people finally had an
opportunity to express their concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes and air.”
The first Earth Day was effective at raising awareness about environmental issues and changing public 【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 7 页 共 10 页
attitudes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), “Public opinions polls(投票) indicate
that in May 1971, 25 percent of the U.S. public declared protecting the environment to be an important goal,
a 2,500 percent increase over 1969.”
Earth Day kicked off the “environmental decade with a bang,” as Senator Nelson later put it. During
the 1970s, a number of important environmental laws were passed, among them the Clean Air Act, the
Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act, etc. Another key development was the
establishment of the EPA in December 1970, which was tasked with protecting human health and
safeguarding the natural environment—air, water and land.
28. What do we learn about the circumstances in America before Earth Day was founded?
A. The overuse of pesticides had little impact on the American countryside.
B. The fire on Cuyahoga River was caused by improper chemical waste disposal.
C. The government highly valued protecting the natural resources on this planet.
D. Only a few Americans were familiar with environmental issues and practiced-recycling.
29. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.
A. Nelson convinced the federal government that the planet was at risk.
B. Nelson organized the modern environmental movement all by himself.
C. The Earth Day successfully aroused the public’s interest in environmental issues.
D. The electric power supply had been cut off due to numerous telephone inquiries poured in.
30. The EPA was set up to_______.
A. collect public opinions. B. kick off the environmental decade.
C. change public attitudes. D. protect human beings and nature.
31. What do you think the author will talk about later?
A. Earth Day celebrations have grown and spread around the globe.
B. EPA protect human health and our natural environment.
C. The environmental laws come into effect.
D. Senator Nelson’s remarkable achievements.
D (铜梁中学，改编）
Have you ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you
went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful
brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it 【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 8 页 共 10 页
all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it
comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies
have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones
well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the
longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has
found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than
they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how
many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability
and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks
such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers
are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people
were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we
need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world,
but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it
becomes more important for us to be happy.
32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.
A. the young are better at handling important things
B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
33. The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.
A. perceptual speed B. number ability
C. vocabulary tests D. body balance
34. People are happier with aging because ______.
A. they learn to value the time left B. they know how to share feelings
C. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize the possible dangers【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 9 页 共 10 页
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People get happier with age. B. People get wiser with age.
C. People get more forgetful with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.

24 Solar Terms: 4 things you should know about Grain Buds
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds (小满), the 8th

The International Olympic Committee took the extraordinary step Tuesday of 61
(postpone) the 2020 Tokyo Games, which 62 (schedule) to start on July 24, because of the 【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 12 页 共 10 页
coronavirus outbreak.
Just how extraordinary was the step? This marks only the 63 (four) time since the first modern
Olympics in 1896 that the Games have been affected 64 outside forces. The other three occasions
were cancellations during the first and second World Wars. So this is the first time the Olympics have been
postponed, rather than 65 (cancel).
“The Tokyo Olympics will still be held,” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters in Tokyo after
a call with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach on 66 matter.
The IOC later said in a 67 (state) that the Games will be “rescheduled to a date beyond 2020
but not 68 (late) than 2021!”
This time around, it’s a pandemic(疫情), not a war, 69 is changing the Olympics schedule. The
IOC said that “The leaders agreed that the Olympic Games in Tokyo could stand as a beacon of hope to the
world during these times and that the Olympic flame could become the light at the end of the tunnel in
which the world finds 70 (it) at present.”

Dear Jim,
I am particularly glad that you are interested in Chinese poetry,geography, nationality and histroy and
eager to explore more.
I think the Ancient Poetry is your best choice. By learning Chinese ancient poems, you can have an
extensive knowledge of history and culture in ancient China. Also, you can feel the charm of the language
by reading poems, which helps to improve your Chinese. To follow the course well, you’d better read and
recite as many poems as possible. Besides, it is a good idea to search for related background knowledge so
that you will fully understand the conception of poetry.
What you do think of the course? I am sure you will have a lot of fun from it.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: You want to know the first time I went to the cinema? Well, I will talk about it now. It was a
Saturday morning in 1937. I was five years old. My father took me to the cinema that very afternoon:
The size of it amazed me, and I loved the atmosphere immediately. In those days there was a girl who
showed you to your seats in the dark if you arrived after the film had started and she was there with her
boxes of sweets and icecream in the breaks. My mother had given me some money before we left home , so
I queued up and bought myself some chocolate.
But the film itself was the most important thing. When the curtains opened and the lights went down ,
I couldn't believe my eyes. There were sudden changes of scenes that took my breakh away, and action that
was shown from many diferent angles. Obviously audiences are used to all that now. These days film
scenes only last a few seconds and are filled with special effects. In those days one scene could last for
several minutes. And of course the sets were very basic , if you compare them to today's. But the
performances the actors gave were wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it and I loved the 【七校高 2020 级第三次诊断性考试 英语试题】第 16 页 共 10 页
