A
What makes a building ugly Everyone’s got their own opinion,so it’s hard to say.Now,let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.
The Torre Velasca
The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy).The tower,which went up in the 1950s,is about 100 metres tall.Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle,where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts.
The Mirador Building
The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleó.The building,which is a block of flats,opened in 2005.There is a large rectangular(矩形的) hole in the upper part of it,which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.
The Prague TV Tower
The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic).It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall,thin spaceship.Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak,many felt it didn’t fit in.
The Longaberger Basket Company
The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark,Ohio(USA).The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket.It’s got seven floors and two handles at the top.The handles weigh about 150 tons.It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.
1.According to the text,the Torre Velasca .
A.was created by Blanca Lleó
B.is similar to a Lombard castle
C.has a history of over 100 years
D.is taller than the Prague TV Tower
2.Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building
3.When the Prague TV tower was put up,many people .

A student-led push to get solar panels installed at a middle school in Tacoma is receiving national recognition from a clean energy non-profit organization called Generation 180.The girls involved are advocating and fundraising for the project.
Sammy Firkins,Gwen Newport and Annie Son will talk about their idea to generate solar electricity at Jason Lee Middle School in a panel discussion organized by Generation 180.In 2019,the three of them teamed up with their science teacher,Kathy Hall,to push for solar panels to be installed.Hall,who uses solar power at her own house,said it’s long been a dream of hers.The school would be the first in the Tacoma district to use solar energy.
The girls presented their idea to Gov.Jay Inslee’s STEM Education Innovation Alliance meeting in early 2019 and received enthusiastic support.They then spoke to the Tacoma school board and obtained buy-in from the district,though they were told the district did not have the roughly $200,000 for the 277 solar panels and that they would have to fundraise.They’ve since raised more than half that amount through grants and individual donations.
Gwen Newport says she’s always cared a lot about environmental issues and that she’s troubled that climate change does not get the attention it deserves.“At this point,I feel like it’s kind of been given to my generation almost as our responsibility now and so being able to be a part of this project and take action is really important to me,” she says.
The solar panels have not been installed at the school yet.But Hall says she estimates that the project will reduce the school’s power costs by about $14,000 a year,and that it also will serve an educational purpose.“We will have live data always streaming available so that people can see how the panels are working and how they relate to the amount of electricity we’re using,and it will be an incredible learning tool,” she says.
4.What is Generation 180
A.It is the name of the girls’ team.
B.It is a project to use solar power.
C.It is a non-profit environmental group.
D.It is a student-led push to install solar panels.
5.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The girls raised enough money for the project.
B.The Tacoma school board rejected the project.
C.The girls made great efforts to fulfill the project.
D.The district covered the expenses of solar panels.
6.How does Gwen Newport feel about climate change
A.Confident. B.Concerned.
C.Relieved. D.Content.
7.What is the main purpose of the project
A.To advocate for donations.
B.To serve as a learning tool.
C.To protect the environment.
D.To cut down the school’s expenses.

Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats,or homelands,are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop,rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species.They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development.Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation(开垦) because of urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion.”
The problem,according to scientists,is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest.There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa,Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew.“Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example,one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds.But a neighbor country might not.A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing,more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes,like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use,could make a big difference.
8.What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats
A.The decrease of awareness to protect birds.
B.Natural disasters.
C.Overuse of land by human beings.
D.The rising sea level.
9.What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration
A.Exhaustion and hunger.
B.Beast attacks on the ground.
C.Hunting of humans.
D.The long journey.
10.According to the last two paragraphs,how should we protect the migrating birds
A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B.By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C.By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D.By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A.To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B.To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.
C.To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D.To call on people to protect birds’ habitats.
D
Captured carbon dioxide(CO2) could be used to extract useful metals from recycled technology such as smartphone batteries rather than just being buried underground.The technique could help make it more economical to capture the greenhouse gas before it enters the atmosphere.
“If you also extract metals by filling CO2, you add value to a process that is known to be costly,” says Julien Leclaire at the University of Lyon,France.
CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change,so many people have attempted to develop technologies to capture it when it comes from power plants and other major sources.The gas can then be stored underground.The problem is that such carbon capture and storage(CCS) is expensive.“No one wants to pay the price for it,” says Leclaire.
To make CCS more appealing,Leclaire’s team has found a use for the gas.His team collected CO2 from a car gas,cooled it,and then pumped it into a mix of chemicals.The CO2 combined with the mix to make many molecules(分子) of various shapes and sizes.
The team found that this process could sort out mixtures of metals,because one metal would dissolve in the liquid while another would form a solid.In a series of experiments,they successfully separated three kinds of metals—all of which are used in batteries,smartphones and computers.
If the process can be widely used,it could be a more environmentally friendly way to recycle batteries and other electrical equipment,says Leclaire.This is normally done using highly reactive chemicals,which are potentially polluting.Replacing them with CO2 should lead to a much lower environmental pollution,he says.
Other researchers and companies are trying to change captured CO2 into useful materials like plastics,which are normally produced from petrol,but this is chemically difficult.Leclaire says his approach is more in line with how CO2 behaves naturally.“Instead of copying what we know how to do better and cheaper with oil,let’s find things you can only do with CO2,” he says.
12.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Extracting useful metals from recycled technology is widely used now.
B.Useful metals in the atmosphere are used to make smartphone batteries.
C.Abandoned smartphone batteries may have been buried underground before.
D.The greenhouse gas CO2 could be cleaned up after entering the atmosphere.
13.Why are many people attempting to capture CO2
A.CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change.
B.CO2 can be used to recycle many resources.
C.Captured CO2 can be changed to useful gas.
D.CO2 is harmful to people’s health.
14.What benefit could Leclaire’s team’s approach bring
A.It could end the use of plastics.
B.It could reduce environmental pollution.
C.It could make more metals available to humans.
D.It could help reduce the cost of battery production.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.The Ways to Make Smartphone Batteries
B.The Reason for Capturing Greenhouse Gas
C.Collecting CO2 Is Starting to Make New Progress
D.Captured CO2 Could Be Used to Help Recycle Useful Metals

There is no specific advice on how to use your body language.What you do might be interpreted in several ways,depending on the setting and who you are talking to.You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. 16
First,to change your body language you must be aware of your body language.Notice how you sit,how you stand,how you use your hands and legs,what you do while talking to someone.
17 Yeah,it might seem silly but no one is watching you.This will give you good feedback on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.

You might also want observe friends,role models,movie stars or other people you think have good body language.Observe what they do and you don’t. 19 Then try using what you can learn from them.
In addition,do remember to have eye contact,but don’t stare.If there are several people you are talking to,give them all some eye contact to create a better connection and see if they are listening.Keeping too much eye-contact might make people frightened. 20 If you are not used to keeping eye-contact,it might feel a little hard or scary in the beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
A.You might want to practice in front of a mirror.
B.See yourself move like that version of yourself.
C.Take bits and pieces you like from different people.
D.Learning from others sometimes is of great help.
E.Giving no eye-contact might make you seem insecure.

第二节
When Mrs.Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.Very soon,the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Bernard with her.Bernard was very glad to join in the work and said,“So good an idea! I’ll try right now.”They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.

What makes a building ugly Everyone’s got their own opinion,so it’s hard to say.Now,let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.
The Torre Velasca
The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy).The tower,which went up in the 1950s,is about 100 metres tall.Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle,where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts.
The Mirador Building
The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleó.The building,which is a block of flats,opened in 2005.There is a large rectangular(矩形的) hole in the upper part of it,which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.
The Prague TV Tower
The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic).It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall,thin spaceship.Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak,many felt it didn’t fit in.
The Longaberger Basket Company
The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark,Ohio(USA).The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket.It’s got seven floors and two handles at the top.The handles weigh about 150 tons.It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.
1.According to the text,the Torre Velasca .
A.was created by Blanca Lleó
B.is similar to a Lombard castle
C.has a history of over 100 years
D.is taller than the Prague TV Tower
2.Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building
3.When the Prague TV tower was put up,many people .
A.thought little of it
B.liked it very much
C.felt that it might fall down easily
D.thought that it was totally useless

A student-led push to get solar panels installed at a middle school in Tacoma is receiving national recognition from a clean energy non-profit organization called Generation 180.The girls involved are advocating and fundraising for the project.
Sammy Firkins,Gwen Newport and Annie Son will talk about their idea to generate solar electricity at Jason Lee Middle School in a panel discussion organized by Generation 180.In 2019,the three of them teamed up with their science teacher,Kathy Hall,to push for solar panels to be installed.Hall,who uses solar power at her own house,said it’s long been a dream of hers.The school would be the first in the Tacoma district to use solar energy.
The girls presented their idea to Gov.Jay Inslee’s STEM Education Innovation Alliance meeting in early 2019 and received enthusiastic support.They then spoke to the Tacoma school board and obtained buy-in from the district,though they were told the district did not have the roughly $200,000 for the 277 solar panels and that they would have to fundraise.They’ve since raised more than half that amount through grants and individual donations.
Gwen Newport says she’s always cared a lot about environmental issues and that she’s troubled that climate change does not get the attention it deserves.“At this point,I feel like it’s kind of been given to my generation almost as our responsibility now and so being able to be a part of this project and take action is really important to me,” she says.
The solar panels have not been installed at the school yet.But Hall says she estimates that the project will reduce the school’s power costs by about $14,000 a year,and that it also will serve an educational purpose.“We will have live data always streaming available so that people can see how the panels are working and how they relate to the amount of electricity we’re using,and it will be an incredible learning tool,” she says.
4.What is Generation 180
A.It is the name of the girls’ team.
B.It is a project to use solar power.
C.It is a non-profit environmental group.
D.It is a student-led push to install solar panels.
5.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The girls raised enough money for the project.
B.The Tacoma school board rejected the project.
C.The girls made great efforts to fulfill the project.
D.The district covered the expenses of solar panels.
6.How does Gwen Newport feel about climate change
A.Confident. B.Concerned.
C.Relieved. D.Content.
7.What is the main purpose of the project

Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats,or homelands,are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop,rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species.They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development.Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation(开垦) because of urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion.”
The problem,according to scientists,is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest.There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa,Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land.The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew.“Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example,one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds.But a neighbor country might not.A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing,more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes,like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use,could make a big difference.
8.What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats
A.The decrease of awareness to protect birds.
B.Natural disasters.
C.Overuse of land by human beings.
D.The rising sea level.
9.What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration
A.Exhaustion and hunger.
B.Beast attacks on the ground.
C.Hunting of humans.
D.The long journey.
10.According to the last two paragraphs,how should we protect the migrating birds
A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B.By restoring their destroyed habitats.
C.By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
D.By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A.To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.
B.To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.
C.To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.
D.To call on people to protect birds’ habitats.
D
Captured carbon dioxide(CO2) could be used to extract useful metals from recycled technology such as smartphone batteries rather than just being buried underground.The technique could help make it more economical to capture the greenhouse gas before it enters the atmosphere.
“If you also extract metals by filling CO2, you add value to a process that is known to be costly,” says Julien Leclaire at the University of Lyon,France.
CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change,so many people have attempted to develop technologies to capture it when it comes from power plants and other major sources.The gas can then be stored underground.The problem is that such carbon capture and storage(CCS) is expensive.“No one wants to pay the price for it,” says Leclaire.
To make CCS more appealing,Leclaire’s team has found a use for the gas.His team collected CO2 from a car gas,cooled it,and then pumped it into a mix of chemicals.The CO2 combined with the mix to make many molecules(分子) of various shapes and sizes.
The team found that this process could sort out mixtures of metals,because one metal would dissolve in the liquid while another would form a solid.In a series of experiments,they successfully separated three kinds of metals—all of which are used in batteries,smartphones and computers.
If the process can be widely used,it could be a more environmentally friendly way to recycle batteries and other electrical equipment,says Leclaire.This is normally done using highly reactive chemicals,which are potentially polluting.Replacing them with CO2 should lead to a much lower environmental pollution,he says.
Other researchers and companies are trying to change captured CO2 into useful materials like plastics,which are normally produced from petrol,but this is chemically difficult.Leclaire says his approach is more in line with how CO2 behaves naturally.“Instead of copying what we know how to do better and cheaper with oil,let’s find things you can only do with CO2,” he says.
12.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Extracting useful metals from recycled technology is widely used now.
B.Useful metals in the atmosphere are used to make smartphone batteries.
C.Abandoned smartphone batteries may have been buried underground before.
D.The greenhouse gas CO2 could be cleaned up after entering the atmosphere.
13.Why are many people attempting to capture CO2
A.CO2 is the main cause of modern climate change.
B.CO2 can be used to recycle many resources.
C.Captured CO2 can be changed to useful gas.
D.CO2 is harmful to people’s health.
14.What benefit could Leclaire’s team’s approach bring
A.It could end the use of plastics.
B.It could reduce environmental pollution.
C.It could make more metals available to humans.
D.It could help reduce the cost of battery production.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.The Ways to Make Smartphone Batteries
B.The Reason for Capturing Greenhouse Gas
C.Collecting CO2 Is Starting to Make New Progress
D.Captured CO2 Could Be Used to Help Recycle Useful Metals

There is no specific advice on how to use your body language.What you do might be interpreted in several ways,depending on the setting and who you are talking to.You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. 16
First,to change your body language you must be aware of your body language.Notice how you sit,how you stand,how you use your hands and legs,what you do while talking to someone.
17 Yeah,it might seem silly but no one is watching you.This will give you good feedback on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident,open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. 18 Then try it out.
You might also want observe friends,role models,movie stars or other people you think have good body language.Observe what they do and you don’t. 19 Then try using what you can learn from them.
In addition,do remember to have eye contact,but don’t stare.If there are several people you are talking to,give them all some eye contact to create a better connection and see if they are listening.Keeping too much eye-contact might make people frightened. 20 If you are not used to keeping eye-contact,it might feel a little hard or scary in the beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
A.You might want to practice in front of a mirror.
B.See yourself move like that version of yourself.
C.Take bits and pieces you like from different people.
D.Learning from others sometimes is of great help.

第二节
When Mrs.Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.Very soon,the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Bernard with her.Bernard was very glad to join in the work and said,“So good an idea! I’ll try right now.”They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.
