Architect
11、Joseph Reed was behind the design. The first stage of the library opened in 1856, with a collection of 3,800 books, and included most of the front wing and the Queens Hall reading room. National Gallery of Victoria(NGV)InternationalThis grand modernist building on St Kilda Road is Australias oldest
12、and most popular art museum. The NGV International building by architect Roy Grounds opened in 1968.

13、. Melbournes GPOThe building began construction in 1859 and took the next five decades to construct. American architect Walter Burley Griffin redesigned the sorting hall into a public hall around 1919. The space functioned as a post office for most of the 20th century until 1993 when Australia Post

Manchester Unity BuildingBExtremely low temperature, strong winds and endless white snow are just a few of the challenges explorers must face in the Polar areas. But a 16-year-old British girl didnt let these worry her.
19、 On April 15 Alicia Adams became the youngest person to walk to the North Pole. She completed the adventure with her geology teacher and two other companions. Each of them carried 30 kilograms of supplies. At times temperatures fell to -45 during the 320-kilometre trip. But they made it in ten days,
20、 two days less than her famous father, David Adams time record for the same walk. It is a really good feeling, more of an achievement, said Alicia Adams after coming to the end of her adventure. The winds were like angry beasts roaring behind us. The trip seemed endless and there was nothing in sigh
21、t: no buildings, no people, and no animals. Sometimes we had to walk across lakes covered with thin ice, which is the deadliest threat.David Adams is a top British explorer, who reached both the South and North poles on foot. He also set a series of hot air-balloon records and climbed the highest mo
22、untain on every continent. I take pride in what she has achieved but a bit annoyed that she has beaten my time, her father said playfully. Asked if there would be any future joint adventures, the dad joked, I think I would be struggling to keep up with her now.Alicia returned to Britain last week wh
23、ere she faces a more normal task of going to school. And she said her achievement would not necessarily mark the start of a life-long exploration.

26、 painter Pablo Picasso was a leader in Western art in the 20th century is to repeat an accepted fact, according to Time magazine. No painter before him had enjoyed such a large following in his own lifetime.”This year marks the 140th anniversary of Picassos birth. Born on Oct. 25, 1881, Picasso had
27、created more than 20,000paintings, drawings, sculptures and other pieces of art by the time he died at 91. Thats a long time to paint! The result is not only a lot of art, but a lot of different phases in Picassos work. On its website, Christies auction(拍卖)house lists eight different periods in the
28、course of his painting career. Over a century ago, the painter once said that, Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction. So the eight periods are all very different in their choice of subjects and yet unmistakably drawn by Picassos hands. Financial Express called his style unusual
29、. As his style changed over time, it became more simplistic. A common joke is that Picasso forgot how to paint. After all, he was classically trained at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Now he is best known for leading an artistic movement known as “Cubism(立体派)”. It used geometric shapes to cre
30、ate human and animal figures. With this method, Picasso tried to show his figures from multiple perspectives(视角)in two-dimensional space. For example, a persons left eye may be shown from straight ahead while his right eye and nose are shown from the side. The result is strange and beautiful, fright
31、ening and funny. Picasso often said that he admired primitive art and drawings made by youngsters. When I was the age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them, he said. Maybe thats why Picasso is still so popular. We look at his work and think, “Maybe I could d
32、o that!”28. Which of the following best describes Pablo Picasso? A. Productive. B. Optimistic. C. Traditional. D. Generous. 29. Why did Financial Express call Picassos style unusual? A. His act of creation was destructive. B. He created a series of simple images. C. His painting style remained uncha
33、nged. D. He drew different subjects in different periods. 30. What is special about a cubist painting according to the text? A. It is rather difficult to understand. B. It shows figures from various perspectives. C. It covers different subjects at the same time. D. It reflects the relationship betwe
34、en humans and animals. 31. What does the underlined word them in the last paragraph refer to? A. Raphaels works. B. Artists. C. Drawings. D. Youngsters. DWhen Auntie Rose died in early 2007, she was the oldest wild chimpanzee known to humankind. At around 63 years old, very elderly for a chimp, her
35、final months had been difficult. Still, until the very end, Auntie Rose had been fending for herself. Adult chimpanzees rarely share food, so elderly animals have to find their own meals. Aging animals in the wild are less active, and may become a bit feeble too, losing muscle mass as they age. But
36、they handle old age much better than we do. They just power along. People often become less active as they age, inspired by the self-fulfilling prophecy that their bodies are naturally weakening and that their condition is therefore inevitably deteriorating. Yet even wild chimpanzees like Auntie Ros
37、e, who had to walk many miles to find food and did not receive health care when ill or injured, appear to be aging in a healthier way, says anthropologist Melissa Emery Thompson of the University of New Mexico. Studies in people with hunter-gatherer lifestyles, many of whom remain very active until
38、the end of their lives, also often show that they stay healthy much longer than those of us taking it easy as we grow older, says Emery Thompson. For instance, the walking speed of the Hadzain Tanzania, who keep up their foraging duties throughout life, does not appear to significantly decrease as t
39、hey grow older. Its not physical activity, but inactivity, that makes us frail, she says.The many calcium-rich plants in the gorilla diet may be part of the explanation. But the most important factor, Thompson believes, is again physical activity. Even though mountain gorillas spend many hours a day
40、 sitting down and eating, they get plenty of exercise traveling up and down the regions steep slopes. 32. What can we know about Auntie Rose according to the passage? A. She was the oldest chimpanzee. B. She was taken care of by other chimpanzees. C. She suffered a lot in her final months. D. Other
41、chimpanzees would share food with her. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT true about aging chimpanzees? A. Aging chimpanzees in the wild are not as active as the young ones. B. Aging chimpanzees have to find food for themselves. C. Aging chimpanzees tend to lose muscle mass. D. Aging chimp
42、anzees can handle old age as well as human beings. 34. How to age in a healthier way according to the passage? A. Find food by yourself. B. Dont receive health care when ill or injured. C. Believe that your body and conditions will naturally become weak. D. Keep physical activities. 35. What can we
43、learn from the passage? A. Older chimpanzees wont feel weak if they keep walking. B. Physical activity can help us age healthily. C. Physical activity is the only factor that helps us remain active. D. We should keep eating while traveling up and down. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳
