22、The most beautiful buildings in Melbourne

Royal Exhibition Building

Designed by architect Joseph Reed and completed in 1880, the Royal Exhibition Building is one of Australia^ most impressive architectural beauties. It was built to host the first official World’s Fair in the Southern Hemisphere. While smaller sections of the building were destroyed by fire, the main building survived. You can get a good look at select events throughout the year.

Flinders Street Station

Flinders Street Station is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Construction began in 1900 and completed at the same year, with the original designs laid out by Fawcett and Ashworth, including a large dome (圆顶) over the main entrance and a clock tower over the Elizabeth Street entrance. The building’s top floor ballroom was a later addition.

RMIT Design Hub

The building, completed in November 2012, is covered in 17,000 automated circular glass panels— not only do they spin to suit Melbourne’s weather forecast, but they also provide a high level of heat efficiency. The RMIT Design Hub by architect Sean Godsell is a Greenstar Certified Project, and it won the 2013 International Architecture Award by the Chicago Athenaeum.

Melbourne’s GPO

Located on the comer of Elizabeth Street and Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne’s GPO designed by American architect Walter Burley Griffin was completed in 1910. The space functioned as a post office for most of the 20th century until 1993 when Australia Post decided to move its post office functions into smaller shopfronts. A fire broke out in the GPO in September 2001, destroying the interior of the building, and it was only in 2004 that the GPO reopened as a shopping center.

【1】Whose design was the oldest building of the four?

A．Joseph Reed’s.

B．Fawcett and Ashworth’s.

C．Sean Godsell’s.

D．Walter Burley Griffin’s.

【2】Which of the following buildings won the International Architecture Award?

D．They were both completed in the 19th century.

23、Do Historical Films Need to Be Accurate?

Historical inaccuracies can be found in many films. 【1】, or much bigger, such as changing whether someone was good or bad.

Historic films give us a glimpse (一瞥) into the past. Yet some criticize that there are fictional details in them. 【2】?

Yes — otherwise they’re misleading

There are so many great people from history and interesting events to learn about the past, particularly when you find the subject boring at school. Yet if films aren’t being completely accurate, then people will be misinformed, and it may mean that historical figures are remembered in the wrong way. 【3】. However, in real life he actually helped to rescue a lot of people. For his family, and the families of other people in such films, that might be very upsetting. History is interesting enough as it is; there is no reason for filmmakers to make things up.

【4】

The cinema is not a classroom. If the audience learns something while watching a film, that’s great. But filmmakers are just trying to make something entertaining and dramatic. They should be allowed to change facts to create the best experience. After all, certain events in real life might have taken place over several years, but in order to be shown in a film, they may need to be packed into less than two hours. Some changes will have to be made for that to work. 【5】. Writers and directors have no choice but to imagine what might have happened, and fill in the gaps.

A．Yes — films help us learn from the past

B．Besides, not all historical films can be completely accurate

C．So should film makers be sticking more closely to the truth in their films

D．No — films are meant to be creative

E．So should films transport viewers into a world of make-believe

F．For example, in the film Titanic, a man on the ship was shown as a selfish one

G．They can be small, like changing a location

24、High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.

For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.

Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.

Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.

Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activity for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.

【1】What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment?

A．To see how many students have smartphones.

B．To find out how popular her students are.

C．To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.

D．To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.

【2】How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result?

A．Shocked.

B．Excited.

C．Satisfied.

D．Frightened.

【3】Which of the following is true according to Jean Twenge?

A．Students are now under great stress.

B．Students spend too much money on smartphones.

C．Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.

D．Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.

【4】What might be talked about if the passage is continued?

A．How other schools deal with students’ phones.

B．Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.

C．How some parents deal with their children’s phones.

D．Whether students are willing to give up using phones.

25、In summarising the state of the planet—rising population, widespread conflict, one-sixth of the planet suffering extreme poverty and hunger, global warming—Jeffrey Sachs, author of “The Common Wealth, can paint a terrible picture. However, he’s an_________ and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost. That’s because the root causes are interconnected and _________ man-made.

Take child mortality (死亡). Perhaps surprisingly, the higher the child mortality rate is, the higher the birth rate. This leads to a _________ population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources, so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home. This, _________ , stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn, among other things, about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell. Sachs argues that the_________ of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step. Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively _________ infections. The fewer children that die of malaria, the more secure parents feel about their children surviving. The more secure parents feel, the fewer children they have, and so on, revising the _________ trend just described.

However, it is _________ a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference: free school meals improve school attendance and health; supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests; basic health care and clean water supplies_________ more fatal diseases.

These ideas are already being __________ implemented in over 100 African villages in underdeveloped regions. The cost of the project is just $10 per person per year, of which 50% comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.

So if it’s so __________ , why hasn’t it been done before? What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world? Has it been lost to corruption (腐败)? Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption, but the fact that rich governments have __________ such a lot, but actually given so little. They agreed to give 0.7% of national income in aid, but only five countries have met that __________. He suggests current aid is $24 billion per year, which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the __________ measures.

So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever, he also raises an __________ that this could be the last chance we have, ‘The longer we wait, the greater is the suffering and the larger the long-term costs?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Annie was having an awful day. And it had only just begun. Her car had a flat tire in the morning. She spilled coffee on her shirt and even worse, the man behind the counter had given her incorrect change (找零的钱). And now she was running late for work — another shift (轮班工作) at the grocery store.

Annie pulled into the grocery store parking lot, opened her car door and immediately stepped into a puddle (水坑). She let out a loud sigh and angrily headed toward the store.

She paused briefly to wipe off her feet and heard two ladies chatting.

“I’m so sorry to hear about your job, Mary.”

“Thank you, Sarah. So many people have been fired recently. It’s worrying, but I’ll figure something out.”

Briefly, Annie felt slightly jealous of the woman. She would give anything to not have to be at work this morning.

She dropped off her things in the break room and put on her uniform. Then, she made her way to her register for another long day, hoping that her luck would change. But her first customer spilled a bottle of juice on her counter, leaving it sticky well after he had paid and left. Another insisted on paying in all change, holding up her line for ages. Annie was close to just throwing in the towel and asking to leave early. But she figured she would have to wait until she went on break. That way, she’d have time to think of an excuse.

Annie absent-mindedly continued to ring up (记入收款机) her next customer’s groceries, placing them in the bag before reading out the total.

“It comes to $44.97,” Annie said.

There was a brief pause, and when she looked up, she saw Mary — the woman she heard chatting in the parking lot.

Mary pulled her wallet from her large bag and opened it. She bit her lip and blushed (脸红). Annie could see that she didn’t have enough to pay as she reached to start taking some of the items out of a grocery bag.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Annie reached out and stopped her.

Mary’s tears made Annie realize that she had been so selfish.
