21、   Barcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted church.

This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂)，which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction，began building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. However，when he stepped down，architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.

To get its paperwork rubber stamped，the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed，but the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.

Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However, interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.

Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona，the capital city of Catalonia，northeast Spain. The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.

【1】What do we know about the Segrada Familia?

A.It has been completely constructed. B.It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.

C.It will get a building permit in 2026. D.It began to be built 138 years ago.

【2】What can we infer about Antoni Gaudi?

A.He wished to be buried in the church. B.He is remembered as a great architect.

C.He didn’t know a permit was necessary. D.He is to blame for the unfinished church.

【3】What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?

A.Its unusual design style. B.Its two famous architects.

C.Its special building materials. D.Its illegal construction paperwork.

【4】The church managed to pay for the license _________.

A.in the support of the government B.by reducing construction costs

C.with the aid of tourist income D.through donations from architects

23、Something strange is happening to the millennial workers of America. After a year spent with their computers, they are turning over the carefully arranged chessboards of their lives and deciding to risk it all. Some are giving stable jobs up to start a new business, while others giving up the career altogether.

If this movement has a battle cry, it’s “YOLO” — “you only live once”. The term is used when people are making irresponsible bets that sometimes pay off anyway. More broadly, it has come to characterize the attitude that has captured a certain type of bored office worker in recent months.

“It feels like we’ve been so locked into careers for the past decade, and this is our opportunity to switch it up,” said Nate Moseley, 29, a buyer at a major clothing retailer. Mr Moseley recently decided to leave his US$130,000-a-year job. He created an Excel spreadsheet called “Late 20s Crisis”, which he filled with potential options for his next move: Take a coding class, start mining Ethereum, join a 2022 political campaign and open a tourism business. “The idea of going right back to the pre-Covid set-up sounds so unappealing after this past year,” he noted. “If not now, when will I ever do this?”

It’s possible that some of these YOLOers will end up back in stable jobs if they spend through their savings, or their new jobs fail. But an adventurous spirit seems to be infecting even the kinds of risk-averse overachievers who typically hold on to the career ladder.

One executive at a major tech company said she and her husband had both been discussing quitting their jobs. The pandemic, she said, had taught them that they’d been playing it too safe with their life choices, and missing out on valuable family time. The executive then sent me a quote from the Buddha about impermanence, and the value of realizing that nothing lasts forever. Or, to put it in slightly earthier terms: YOLO.

【1】What strange things are US millennial workers doing?

A．They prefer doing work online.

B．They are taking more risks.

C．They enjoy playing chess more.

D．They are making extra money.

【2】What is the purpose of inventing the term “YOLO”?

A．To encourage people to take brave moves.

B．To stop people making silly decisions.

C．To cover up a person’s past failure.

D．To gain trust from other people.

【3】Why did Nate Moseley leave his previous job?

A．It didn’t pay well enough.

B．The business was in a crisis.

C．He missed the pre-Covid set-up.

D．He was eager for new changes.

【4】What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?

A．The bad effect of the pandemic.

B．The significant influence of YOLO.

C．The potential danger of changing jobs.

D．The future development of different careers.

24、   Vincent Van Gogh, for whom color was the most  important form of expression, was born in Holland in 1853. Brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Van Gogh was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore and an art salesman. He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty. One of his famous paintings is The Potato Eaters (1885)．

In 1886, he went to Paris to join his brother Théo. In Paris, Van Gogh studied with Cormon, later met Pissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten his very dark palette(调色板)．His nervous temperament made him a difficult companion and night-long discussions combined with painting all day undermined his health. He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help found a school of art. Gauguin did join him but with bad results. Near the end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to finally leave Arles. Van Gogh                ran after him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off. Van Gogh then was sent to a mental (精神的) hospital for treatment.

In May of 1890, he seemed much better and went to live in Auvers-sur-Oise under the watchful eye of Dr Cachet. Two months later he was dead,  having shot himself “for the good of all”．During his brief career he had sold one painting. Van Goghˈs finest works were produced in less than three years. His great fusion (融合) of form and content is powerful, dramatic and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence (精华) of man and nature.
