BShanghai residents passing through the citys eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary s
20、chool has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.In the citys latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. Theyre split in
21、to two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge its T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and
22、technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage pr

29、made of water anymoreits partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earths atmosphere and traveling across entire continents according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeter
30、s in diameter and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in products, such as toothpaste and cleansers. Another major source is your washing ma
31、chine. When you wash clothing, tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to d
32、eal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eye, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei (核心) around which water vapor (水蒸气) combine
33、s to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic. As the top of
34、 the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. “We live on a ball inside a bubble,” microplastic researcher Steve Allen said. “There are no borders, there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again to move somewhere else. Theres no stopping it once
35、its out.”28. What do we know about microplastics?A.They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B.They cause acid rain and plastic rain.C.They are light and can be easily dealt with.D.They have become a threat to humans.29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.Where microplastics come from.B. The
36、 wide use of microplastics.C. Ways to deal with microplastics.D. How microplastics pollute water.30. What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.B. No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.C. Countries should work togeth
37、er to fight pollution.D. Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.31. The main purpose of the article is to_.A. call on people to use fewer plastic productsB. introduce the sources and effects of microplasticsC. warn people of the danger of microplasticsD. make a comparison between acid rain
38、 and plastic rain DPortraits as ArtAccording to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting a likeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity
39、 rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shi
40、fts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other ar
41、t categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist thro
42、ughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter cant sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. In Europe, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the
43、 sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph,
44、or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the models attendance.Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of
45、for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was cri
46、tical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known for cubist still-life painting (立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dea
47、lers.32. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C. Portrait art shouldnt be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.D. Portraiture is a more
48、 complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.33. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.C. Portraits show models
49、 in a more accurate way than other art forms.D. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.34. According to paragraph 2, during portraits production, artists _.A. preferred models photographs to their presenceB. based their work on the subjects attendanceC. were more willing to
50、use impressions or memoriesD. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitters head35. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he _.A. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait artB. altered the way other artists felt about portrait artC. depended on portrait art to estab

52、in 2018. Anyone applying to art school should know that ones portfolio(资历证明材料) is a crucial part of the application process. 36 Focus on original, recent work. Admissions officers see so many portfolios on a regular basis, so its important to make yourself stand out as an individual. 37 Presenting w
53、ork that youve done within the last one or two years also provides a more relevant and accurate portrayal(描述) of your skills. 38 You dont want to spread yourself too thin, but working with a variety of media and different techniques can convey that you are able to express yourself in diverse ways.Un
