Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard to say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.‎ The Torre Velasca The Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower (狭窄的）than the upper parts.‎ The ‎Mirador‎ ‎Building The Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular (矩形的）hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.‎ The Prague TV Tower The Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech‎ ‎Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.‎ The Longaberger Basket Company The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It，s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.‎ ‎21. According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________ .‎ A.   is similar to a Lombard castle B.   was created by Blanca Lleo C.   has a history of over 100 years D.   is taller than the Prague TV Tower ‎22. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador‎ ‎Building?‎ A. B. ‎ C D ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎23. When the Prague TV tower was put up, many people___ .‎ A. ‎ liked it very much   ‎ B.   thought little of it C.   felt that it might fall down easily D.   thought that it was totally useless ‎ B ‎ Emma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”‎ ‎ Ryan replied. “No,I’m not hungry yet,” and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma sat quietly fuming (十分恼火)in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.‎ ‎ Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.‎ ‎ In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”‎ ‎ Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves. ‎ ‎ Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention , or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.‎ ‎24. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?‎ ‎ A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.‎ ‎ B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.‎ ‎ C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.‎ ‎ D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.‎ ‎25. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?‎ ‎ A.Different cultures ‎ B. Different characteristics ‎ C. Different ways of communicating ‎ D.Different educational background ‎26. Compared with women, men_______.‎ ‎ A. talk less about feelings ‎ B. communicate more with others ‎ C. are more likely to become angry ‎ D.are better at building relationships ‎27. What might be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Why women like to express feelings ‎ B. How men and women communicate ‎ C. Different ways of supporting a child ‎ D. Misunderstandings in social communication ‎ ‎ C ‎ Red meat, usually considered to be beef, pork, mutton and lamb products, have nutritional value, but eating red meat also raises some health concerns.‎ ‎ Red meat is an excellent source of protein(蛋白质). It is also a key source of vitamin B12, which is only available in animal products and is key for both red blood cell and nerve health. Red meat is also a rich source of zine, selenium(硒) andiron. Zinc and selenium are good for our immune system (免疫系统). Iron helps transport oxygen in the blood, and low levels of iron can lead to feeling tired. Eating red meat, especially lean cuts(廋肉), with meals and snacks, may help people curb hunger between meals and help people with weight management.‎ ‎ Health risks of red meat may include the risk of heart disease and cancer. It is usually best to avoid processed meats. These tend to contain lots of salt and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), which may damage our health. Choosing lean cuts and cooking meat correctly may reduce health risks. It is generally advised not to undercook or overcook red meat and to avoid grilling(烧烤).‎ ‎ When it comes to red meat and health, another thing is whether the animals are grain or grass-fed. Grass-fed animals frequently have a better quality of life. Grass feeding can be more environmentally friendly as well.‎ ‎ Many governments suggest the amount of red meat should be safely included in a healthy ‎ diet. The amount varies between nations, but several portions a week are usually acceptable. Those who choose to include eating red meat may wish to choose grass-fed animals and to cut off any fat before eating. ‎ ‎28. According to Paragraph 2, red meat _____. ‎ A. is quite expensive B. a major source of various vitamins C. can provide important nutrition for us D. contains protein that can’t be found in plants ‎29. What does the underlined word “curb”in paragraph2 probably mean? ‎ A. experience B. develop C. control D. realize ‎ ‎30. What suggestion does the author give us on eating red meat? ‎ A. We should eat it anyway we like.‎ B. We should cut it out from our diet.‎ C. We should cook it as long as possible.‎ D. We should pay attention to its quality and amount.‎ ‎31.What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Red meat and health B. Diseases related to red meat C. Unhealthy diet of meat lovers D. Methods of cooking red meat ‎ D Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.  Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’ milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.    As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.    In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created ‎ dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.    “Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.   Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.” 32. What is the passage mainly about? A. The importance of genetic engineering. B. Ways to improve mothers’ milk. C. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina. D. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk. 33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4? A. have more varieties than B. have more nutrition than ‎ C. be more similar to D. be more different from 34. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements? A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute. B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow. C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow. D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.  35. What’s Adrian Mutto’s attitude to the genetic engineering?‎ ‎ A.negative B. supportive C.indifferent D.mixed ‎ ‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ New Reasons to Exercise ‎ It’s a cruel reality that exercising is not a reliable way to lose weight and keep it off. __36__ Here are the benefits of regular exercise.‎ ‎__37__‎ ‎ A new study had found that just a short period of exercise can help improve the ability to remember things in the hours that follow.
