27、Switzerland is set to become home to the world’s tallest wooden residential (住宅的) building.

The project, named Rocket & Tigerli, will consist of four buildings including one that takes pride in a 100-meter-tall (328-foot) tower.

The design will offer modern, high-quality housing with a maximum inflow of daylight, according to its designers, the Danish firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects (SHL). It will also seek to create an active neighborhood that will be “rooted in the area’s historical context,” according to a press release from the firm. The surface, for example, will be covered in dark red and yellow bricks combined with dusty green-colored details — in keeping with the red roofs and yellow bricks of the older buildings in the surrounding area.

“It is a big project that will have a significant influence on the community, socially as well as aesthetically. Because of the strong special knowledge Switzerland has, when it comes to building in wood, we are particularly proud to be working on this ground-breaking project.”

The four buildings will consist of housing facilities as well as spaces for shopping, a sky bar and a hotel. It is expected to be completed and ready for residents to move into by 2026. The striking architecture projects set to shape the world in 2022.

SHL competed with eight other architecture companies around the world to design the building. Earlier this year, its design proposal was chosen as the winner — in part because of its open block structure.

The jury (评审团) said in its assessment: “By dissolving the original block structure and integrating (整合) the separate buildings a larger surface area is achieved and thus more daylight, as well as a stronger connection to the surrounding environment.”

28、Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test?

Many students say that a lack of concentration(注意力)is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.

Study Techniques

You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract(make less concentrated)you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it. Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees. Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.

Test-taking Skills

All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months. Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too. When you arrive in the examination room find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.

【1】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．You should study in a different place every day, so you don't get bored.

B．Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.

C．Check the time during the exam at a certain time.

D．Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.

【2】What does the underlined word "it" refers to?

A．Your study desk or table.

B．Your textbook.

C．Your dictionary.

D．The equipment you need.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．You shouldn't look at everyone else during the test.

B．You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.

C．You'll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.

D．If you feel tired during study, you can't walk around for a few minutes.

29、The captain of the ship, the Beagle, wanted someone who would “profit by the opportunity of visiting distant countries yet little known”. The person who answered was a young man who had left medical school without completing his degree. What’s more, he had recently received a letter from his father predicting that he would be “a disgrace to yourself and ail your family”. Despite all this, his adventures on this ship would lead to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time.

The young man in question, Charles Darwin, was a geologist and naturalist, fascinated by rocks, plants and animals. He left England on the ship, the Beagle, in 1831. The journey gave him the chance to study various living things in their natural environments. At that time, people believed that all species had appeared on Earth at the same time, and had not changed since. But Darwin began to think differently. He noticed that some species of animals were very similar to each other. Maybe animals evolved as they adapted to their changing environments? It was just an idea, but enough to inspire Darwin to look for more evidence.

When the Beagle reached the Galapagos Islands in 1835, Darwin noticed that there was a difference between the finches on each of the islands. It seemed their beaks had evolved according to what food was available on that particular island. Darwin suspected that the finches had evolved from a common ancestor, which had arrived on the islands a long time before. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species. And that was the answer to how new species of plants and animals came to exist: they evolved from earlier ancestors.

It was a completely new idea — a theory of evolution. Darwin explained this theory in his book, On the Origin of Species. It was not published until 1859 and immediately caused a storm. Many people refused to believe that living things, including humans, had evolved from lower forms of life. They were shocked. But Darwin’s scientific studies were so convincing that more and more people started to believe his theory.

【1】What is true according to paragraph 1?

A．Darwin wanted to make a fortune by taking the journey on the B eagle.

B．The medical school dismissed Darwin because of his bad behaviour.

C．The captain of the ship was willing to help Darwin to realize his dream.

D．His father thought Darwin failed to live up to the family’s expectations.

【2】What was the factor that led to the diversity of beaks of finches on the islands?

A．Different food available.

B．Different ancestors.

C．Food insecurity.

D．Habitats on the islands.

【3】What made more and more people start to accept Darwin’s theory?

A．Darwin’s book drew public attention and caused a storm.

B．Darwin’s theory and evidence were convincing enough.

C．They preferred the evolution from lower forms of life.

D．They were shocked by this ground-breaking theory.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Various Living Things on an Island

B．An Unaccepted Theory

C．A Book, On the Origin of Species

D．A Journey of Discovery

32、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。续写的词数应为 150 左右。

My name is Frank. I was from the north of England, but my father had been offered a better job in London, and our whole family had moved there. I was 12 and, having lost all my old friends, I felt shy and lonely at my new school.

There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Tony was one of the few people who were kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and as a result, I started getting to know people. Tony and I become good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters, things that were important to us.

Five years later, Tony and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Tony’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had to move to a much smaller house in order to manage financially. Tony, who had always been very close to his father, changed completely, becoming silent and moody. He had always been a clever, hard-working student but now he seemed to lose all interest in his work. He started losing friends. These days, Tony and I see each other from time to time, but we’re no longer close.

About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the cloakroom, I went inside to get it, and found Tony going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet---and I knew it wasn’t his！

My mouth fell open and I just looked at him.
