And making tha
27、t dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the doo
28、r and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的)walls. In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum
29、bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there the walls, the ru
30、st, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation(装置) in therea slow-motion show.” Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyar
31、d, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that
32、allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond. Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given t
33、hese architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.61. According to the passage, it is _ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. common62. Yocum bought the old building because _. A. it was a bargain to him
34、B. it was still in good condition C. it was located in the city center D. it looked attractive from the outside63. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _. A. pulled rubbish out through the roof B. removed the skylights from the bathroom C. presentd a slow-motion show in an art gallery D. buil
35、t a kitchen at the back part of the old buiding 64. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _. A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof B. turned more old buildings into art galleries C. got inspiration from decorating their old building D. paid more attention to the outside of
36、the art gallery65. The main idea of the passage is that _. A. people can learn a lot from their failures. B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building C. people should not judge things by their appearance D. creative people can make the best of what they have BAre British people Europeans?
37、This may seem like a strange question to Africans and Asians. They tend to think that most white men are Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Chann
38、el who have never learned how to speak English. Europe is “the Continent”. It is a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although Britain is part of Europe, it is a separate island that has made its peop
39、le feel very, very insular(保守的). They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy the other countries by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in times of need.Where did the British people come from? This is a very interesting question, since
40、 they are a mixture of many different races. All of these races invaded(侵略) Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by dark-haired Me
41、diterranean (地中海的) people called Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes. The first were the Gaels, whose descendants (后裔) are the modern Scots and Irish people, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language. The second were the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These
42、 were the people that the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a lot of their civilization. But because they never stayed in Britain in very large numbers, the British people survived until the Roman Empire was defeated by the barbarians. The barbarians were the different Germanic tribes th
43、at took all of the Western Europe.66. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. talk about Europeans B. discuss the origin of British peopleC. argue that British people are the best D. compare the Europeans to Africans and Asians67. What race was the country named after?A. Romans B. Gaelic tribes C. the
44、 Britons D. the barbarians68. It can be learned from the passage that _.A.most people think white people are EuropeansB.there are many Africans and Asians living in EuropeC.the British people think that they are EuropeansD.white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians69. Why do the Brit
45、ish people feel very insular?A. Because they are different from those people on the continentB. Because they sometimes fail to support other countries in times of need.C. Because they are separated geographically from the continent.D. Because they are considered to be very difficult to understand70.
46、 Which of the following might be discussed after this passage?A. The Germanic tribes that invaded Britain.B. The civilization that the Romans gave Britain.C. The Romans who did not settle in Britain.D. The survival of the British people in the first century BC. CFear is a fact of life. Like anger an
47、d love, it is a feeling in your brain that you cannot get rid of, but you can do a lot to control it. You think that you cannot do something well, and you are afraid you will mess it up or something bad will happen. Heres an example. Lets say I ask you to walk down a normal sidewalk that is a block
48、long, and I offer to pay you $100 if you do it without falling off the sidewalk. You would say to me, “No problem!” You can walk on the sidewalk without difficulty. You do it every day. You would probably run to the other end and then collect your money. Now lets say I take that same sidewalk and I
49、put it between two towers and I ask you to walk across between the towers. You are now 1,400 feet in the air. The simple act of “walking on the sidewalk” suddenly becomes terrifying. Whats the difference? There is no difference in fact. But if you trip on a sidewalk, you hurt your knees. Trip when y
50、ou are 1,400 feet in the air and you plunge (跌落) to your death. Your brain takes the risk in and produces a large “terror” signal. That same terror signal kicks in in a lot of different situations. This is why we admire great athletes. Think about a golfer. He is on the 18th hole of the Masters tour
51、nament(锦标赛). Fifteen million people are watching. If he makes this putt(击球入洞) he wins. If he misses it he loses. The thing we respect at that moment is not his ability at golf. We honor him for controlling his fear and making the putt. Sports teach you to control your fear under pressure. One thing
52、you can do to control fear is practice. If you were to practice walking on sidewalks at various heights and work your way up to a skyscraper, rather than trying a skyscraper, it would be a lot easier. By practicing you build up your skills and confidence. You learn about different situations that ca
53、n arise and you learn how to control them. Eventually, you get where you have seen all the possible failure points and have faced fear hundreds of times and you can handle it. Confidence gives you the ability to control fear, and you should understand it as a human emotion and use it.71. Fear is_.A.
54、 something that cant be controlledB. a normal feeling of a personC. only owned by a few unusual peopleD. an unchangeable feeling 72. The purpose of the two examples given by the writer is to _.A. show that we are afraid of falling downB. tell us how to control fearC. compare two different situations
55、D. explain why we sometimes have fear in mind73. We admire great athletes mainly because _.A. they can control their fear under pressure B. they are quite skilledC. they build up confidence while performing D. they are faced with lots failures74. What does the underlined word “trip” in Paragraph 3 m
56、ean? A. Go on a journey. B. Take a walk. C. Fall down to the ground. D. Run away.75. The main idea of the passage is _.A. the more you practice, the better you performB. practice makes perfectC. you can control fear though you cant get rid of itD. fear is a kind of unconfident feeling D When TV news
57、 reports war or diseases, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they dont want to upset their viewers . Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they“may find some of these scenes disturbing”, so they can look away if they choose. But the m
58、en and women whose job is to record those scenes, the TV cameramen, have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how unpleasant they may be. As a result, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.To
59、day, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable（不能满足的）demand for TV information. But major broadcasters have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingl
60、y they turn to freelance(自由职业的) TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company that hires them, for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the
61、 job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelance must survive on his own.“TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, ” explains Nik, once a foreign editor for Britains Channel 4
62、 News and now a BBC news presenter. He says,“By hiring freelances they can buy the skills they need only when they need them .It also enables them to reduce the risk.”76. The underlined word “taxing” in paragraph 1 most probably means _.A. encouraging B. satisfying C. demanding D .enjoying77. TV new
63、s agencies turn to freelance cameraman in order to_.A. buy pictures which are the least realistic B .save expenses for reportersC .look for pictures that are of poor qualitiesD .get first-hand information and pictures78. According to the passage the freelance cameramen_. A .have better skills than o
64、ther cameramenB. have to take great risks in the course of workC. are tied to many TV news agencies D. reduce dangers to TV 79. It is implied in the passage that_. A. TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killings whether they like them or not. B. TV cameramen are a special group of people who
65、enjoy horrifying picturesC .TV cameramen should be given great choices of work because of the news D. the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV80. The main idea of the first paragraph is that_.A. it is the duty of everyone to record horrifying scenesB. it is a requirement of work f
66、or TV cameramen to disregard peoples feelingsC. TV programs are increasing the use of horrible pictures of death and woundD.
