Hourlong guided tours manage to take in just a fraction of the buildings threemillionplus square feet(there are more than a thousand rooms) and focus on the tons of marble, hardwood, and gold used in the buildings construction in the 1980s, a time when Romania was trying to feed its own people. Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, both played a direct role in the construction. It was originally intended to house the presidential offices and the Central mittee of the Romanian munist Party but was never finished.See remains of old “Paris”“Paris of the East” was Bucharests nickname in the decades before World War . Decades of munist misrule and a tragic earthquake in 1977 brought much of the old city down, but there are places here and there where that former elegance can still be glimpsed. The Cismigiu Gardens in the center of the city is a pearl of park built around a romantic lake and featuring oldgrowth trees and gracious, wroughtiron signposts and benches.Learn about Romanias rootsWalking through Bucharests busy streets, its easy to forget that outside the capital and a handful of large cities, Romania is a largely agricultural country, with a long and rich peasant tradition. The amazing Museum of the Romanian Peasant shows off the elaborate woodworking, potterymaking, eggpainting, and weaving skills of the peasantry in a way thats both educational and amusing. Small tongueincheek signs at the entrance to each room poke fun at modern life, bring a chuckle, and draw you in. Downstairs theres a side exhibition on the munists efforts to nationalize the peasantry in the 1970s and 1980s.Appreciate 21stcentury artRomania has exploded onto the contemporary art scene in recent years. The excitement was generated initially by a group of young painters and visual artists from the northern city of ClujNapoca, but at least some of the action has shifted to the capital as new galleries and design centers open up. Its hard to pinpoint precisely what constitutes Romanian contemporary art, though critics point to shared elements of wit and dark humor, a somber mood, and bits of surrealism in defining a mon style.()56. Tourists to Bucharest can do the following things EXCEPT _ A. admiring beautiful scenery of a parkB. appreciating its unique contemporary artC. learning about the agricultural development in RomaniaD. seeing the old city of Bucharest that has been wellpreserved()57. It can be inferred from the passage that _A. Ceausescu and Elena were two famous architectsB. Romanians might have suffered a lot during the 1970s and 1980sC. Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is the largest building in the worldD. Romanians 21stcentury art originated from the capital city Bucharest BIn 2016, designer Liz Ciokajlo received a task from the Museum of Modern Art(Moma) in New York: revisit the Moon Boot, a fluffylooking snowshoe inspired by the footwear used by the Apollo astronauts.Launched in 1972 at the height of the lunar missions, the Moon Boot is an icon of the 20th Centurys “plastic age” and the museum administrators wanted a new take on it.Ciokajlo set out to reimagine it. She knew only a biomaterial would work in a “postplastic age”， but the designer also wanted a new destination to inspire it. Our generations space travel obsession is not the Moon, she thought, but the red planetMars. And Mars allows you to really think outside of the box.The task led her to an amazing biomaterial that had already attracted the attention of engineers innovating in building materials and of top space agencies like NASA and ESA. Her final design, a tall, female, roughlooking boot, can be made on board a spaceship with almost only human sweat and a few fungus spores(真菌孢子), ideal for a sevenmonth trip to Mars with limited checkin luggage. This magic biomaterial is mycelium(菌丝体), the vegetative part of the fungus. It looks like a mass of white threadlike structures, each called hyphae. Collectively, these threads are called mycelium and are the largest part of the fungus.Mycelium has amazing properties. It is a great recycler, as it feeds off a substrate to create more material, and has the potential of almost limitless growth in the right conditions. It can endure more pressure than conventional concrete without breaking. It is a known insulator and fireretardant and could even provide radiation protection on space missions.On Earth its currently used to create ceiling panels, leather, packaging materials and building materials, but in outer space it stands out for its architectural potential, says artist and engineer Maurizio Montalti, who has teamed up with Ciokajlo.For her revisited boot, Ciokajlo wanted to use the human body as the source for some of the building materials and decided to employ sweat. Reusing sweat is not entirely new in space exploration but a novelty approach for footwear. She thinks it might make astronauts feel closer to home during the long journey to Mars.The design is still hypothetical, because the real boot submitted for Momaand currently in display at the London Design Museumdid use mycelium but not human sweat, as their deadline was too tight, but the science checks out.()58. The sentences “Mars has always been a place where you can dream. It is a place where you can reimagine how to live on Earth. Ciokajlo says.” should be put _A. between Para.1 and Para.2 B. between Para.2 and Para.3C. between Para.3 and Para.4 D. between Para.4 and Para.5()59. According to the passage, which of the following doesnt belong to the characteristics of mycelium?A. It can be recyclable.B. It can protect people from radiation.C. It can grow without limit whatever the condition.D. pared with conventional concrete, it can endure more pressure.()60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The new design will be used for moon exploration.B. It will be some time before the new design is put into actual use.C. Mycelium has been currently widely used, especially in outer space.D. Human sweat wasnt used in the design because of some drawbacks.()61. The author takes a(n) _ attitude towards the new design.A. optimistic B. indifferent C. objective D. doubtfulCGoing to university is supposed to be a mindbroadening experience.That assumption is possibly made in contrast to training for work straight after school. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tubingen, Germany, thought she would try to find out.Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. It shows that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational training for work. However, it is not the case that university broadens minds. Rather, work seems to narrow them.After studying the early career of 2095 German youngsters, Dr. Golle reached the conclusion.During the period under investigation, Germany had three tracks in its schools: a low one for pupils who would most probably leave school early and enter vocational training; a high one for those almost certain to enter university; and an intermediate one, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes.The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits and the other of attitudes. They administered both tests twiceonce towards the end of each volunteers time at school, and then again six years later.Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, and it was on these that the researchers focused. Of them, 212 went to university and the remaining 170 chosen for vocational training and a job.When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not apparently changed. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, eitherexcept in one crucial respectthey had bee more responsible.That sounds like a good thing, pared with the mon public image of undergraduates as a bunch of pampered layabouts(娇生惯养的闲人). But changes in attitude the researchers recorded were more worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature.And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed off limits to the degreeless.But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, puter programmers, financesector workers and entrepreneurs as careers requiring these attributes.If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing peoples choices, that is indeed a matter of concern.()62. pared with students going to university, those choosing the vocational route _A. show more changes in their attitudesB. find it more difficult to land suitable jobsC. are more interested in tasks related to science D. are more responsible and do their work better()63. The underlined word “detectable” in Para.9 can be replaced by “_”A. desirable B. predictable C. noticeable D. changeable()64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. University graduates dont need to receive training at all. B. Germany should change the tradition of vocational training. C. People without a degree may find a limit to their choices of careers.D. In parison with vocational training, universities can greatly broaden peoples minds.()65. In which column of a magazine can you find the passage?A. Science. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Education.DWhen my visionchallenged daughter was 3, and I was pregnant with my second child, we got her glasses. It was a long process involving many different opticians(配镜师) over the course of a year, because of my daughters overwhelming desire to scream and fly into a temper any time we tried to have her eyes examined.
