Only if you know where to go.Central Library: Seattle, Washington, United StatesThe Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours. It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus. Tours began in 2006, two years after its opening.

Dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol foreland.Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United StatesAt first glance, it looks like a spaceship. Architect William Pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston, Texas, designed the library in 1970. It has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels. The library hosts “Dinner in the Library,”which invites readers for cocktails, and also special speeches from distinguished authorsTU Delft Library: The NetherlandsThe library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than862,000 books, 16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museum. The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you cant really see the actual Library. What makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill. The roof covers 5,500 square meters. And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.21. Which of the four libraries has the longest history?A. Central LibraryB. Trinity College LibraryC. Geisel LibraryD.

In Central Library, you can .A. drink cocktailsB. buy souvenirsC. create paintingsD. book eventsBThe cracked step four years ago was the start of it. That day, I awoke tiredthe children were tiny and needing so muchand I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off and drove homethe sun shining and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet.Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all the tools, mixed my own cement, filled in the crack and repaired the foundation. Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. Id forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That第 3页共 10 页sleep. that promise to self was broken, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in the step.Suddenly, everything started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldnt stop shaking. What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not besilenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many of us, it is only when we have no choice when we fall illthat we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks when my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever present. I did it tomyselfa whole twisted spin on DIY.Sadly it took another two ridiculous DIY projects to finally get through. The cracks will never be fully filled. Focus, then, on your own inner core, the feeding of light, fire and strength.24What made the author so sleepy in the first place?A. Taking care of the kids.B. Asking her mother for help. C. Driving to her mothers houseD. Dealing with DIY projects.25How did the author feel as soon as she finished her repair work?A. RegretfulB. UpsetC. ProudD. Thankful26What can be implied from Paragraph 3?A. Our health is ignored deliberately.B. Our body will respond to what we do. C. The author took her mothers advice.D. The author was infected before the DIY.27What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To describe an unfortunate event.B. To show the danger of DIY.C. To stress the importance of sleep.D. To encourage focusing on oneself.CIt often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance. Unfortunately,第 4页共 10 页both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidates ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability.Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.28. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees performance.B. Interview is not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees. C. The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees.D. The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview.29. What is the authors attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?A. Supportive B. Negative C. Objective D. Unconcerned30. The last paragraph indicates .A. a link between success in interview and character B. connections between work abilities and character C. differences in interview experienceD. differences in personal behaviour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。第 5页共 10 页Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, youre going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 31 Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts cant be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when youre all calm and comfortable. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, youd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversationfor now. 32 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that youre listening. 33 Respect the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others feelings can disagree without things getting ugly. 34 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say youre going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule makers theyre interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping-just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 35 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.AIts time to get outside help involved.BYou can pick it up again when everyones more relaxed.
