He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Fank Lloyd Wrights beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wrights buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wrights idea about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wrights Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wrights house are parallel to the horizon(与地平线平行), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90angles with the horizon.41Frank Lloyd Wrights style in architecture was _. Alearned from some European countries Bnot only limited to the U.S Cno longer popular Dsomewhat similar to the European style42Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed? AThey were very large and beautiful. BThey were very comfortable. CThey could be used as churches. DThey were beautiful in design but not practical in use.43What is the most important idea in Wrights style? AArchitectural design should match natural surroundings. BA building must have grassland around it. CAmerican style in architecture should be different from Europeans. DDesign should be more important than use.44Which of the following is NOT true about Wrights “grass-land houses”? AThe lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland. BThe lines of “ grass-land houses” are horizontal. CThe color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green. DThey are different from European style houses.45The best title for this passage would be _. AThe Differences between the American and European Styles in Architecture B“Grass-land” Houses Designed by Wright CHow to Make Your Houses More Beautiful DThe Influence of Wright on American ArchitectureBTurning on the TV,a wonderful scene comes to you eyes-a group of men ,tall ,strong and handsome ,and women ,young ,beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants , traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure-ships. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a big money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine-Models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20%of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose her work, demand and receive high fees and have her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and the right figure. For all except the very few lucky ones , the life of a model is a continual search for work ,trying to sell herself or himself in the face of fierce competition and ,sometimes , not particularly moral students on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. Sometimes people just consider them as “flower vase.” It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their job in their passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority. 46For models ,their looks and figures are ,compared with their good qualifications and intelligence.Amore important Bless needed Cless essential Dmore looked down upon47Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?AA models traveling expense are usually paid by his employer.BTo be a model , good looks are the most important qualification.CMost models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A clever agent plays a very important part in model business.48Models often put“Secretary”or “Businessmen” instead of “Model” in their passports because . Athey want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans Ba person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies Cmodels are sometimes looked down upon Dsecretaries and businessmen are free of customs duty49What may be the authors attitude toward modeling? AIt is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man .BHe is in favor of young people to try modeling .CBefore being crazy about the model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties .DIt is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed .50.The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by . Adoubtfully Bexcitedly Cproudly DsadlyCDo you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year.The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life. Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet at a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.In the near future, well expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information and electronic commerce services wherever we are not just at our computers or television sets.In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.51. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?A. It enables mobile phone users to enjoy Internet-based servicesB. It can enable you to download MP3songs.C. A 3G mobile phone can transport information much faster than what we use now.D. 3G technology will offer you high-speed access to the Internet wherever there is a computer.52. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is impossible for us to listen to MP3 music with our current mobile phone.B. Thanks to 3G phones, European employees neednt always travel to work .C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot movie while chatting.D. The new technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.53. Which sentence can best describe the picture?A. 3G will make you fly on the information highway.B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas of our lives.C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet with a speed of 2 megabytes per second. DWind is the great maker of waves. There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea .Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certainphysical things about it. A wave has height, from trough ( low point) to crest ( high Point) . It has length-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same-for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters.The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible.If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way :Speed = wavelength frequencyHere, wavelength is the distance betw
