Valley
Placed in Amsterdam’s business center,Valley,designed by MVRDV is a mixed-use project that includes offices,shops,apartments,and cultural areas.It actually includes three connected towers that reach a height of up to 100m whose design was inspired by mountainous landscapes.The building’s uneven appearance ensures that no two apartments are the same,creating a number of completely unique housing units.
111 West 57th Street
Also known as Steinway Tower,it is a super-tall residential skyscraper (摩天大楼).The main part of the building is an 84-story,435-meter tower.Designed by SHoP Architects,the extremely narrow tower — officially the thinnest in the world rises over New York City.Remaining at the base is the 16-story Steinway Building,a former Steinway & Sons store completed in 1925,which at first carried the address 111 West 57th Street.
NV Tower
It was designed by A&A Architects and reaches a height of 106m in Sofia,Bulgaria.The building’s design is partly inspired by natural crystals (水晶).To strengthen the crystal theme,each floor of the building bears the name of a single crystal and is designed in the same color as the crystal.The building is multifunctional,including offices,homes,restaurants,shops,roof gardens and underground parking.
Premier Tower
It was designed by Elenberg Fraser and reaches a height of 246m in Melbourne,Australia.The skyscraper’s overall design is a homage (致敬) to one of Beyonce’s music videos called “Ghost”.The Premier Tower has set a new standard in residential design.Within the building,you will find 796 apartments and 172 hotel rooms spread across 77 uniquely designed stories.
21.What can be learned about the Valley

One of Prague’s most famous sights,the Orloj,the third oldest clock in the world,has been stopped.It is set to undergo months of restoration (修复)that will see the return of several,but not all,of its original parts.
Perhaps no other clock better proves the genius of the early pioneers of time keeping than the Orloj.Marking the minutes and hours is only one of the many measurements it provides.
The about 612-year-old astronomical clock tracks Old Bohemian time,when the new day begins with sunset; Babylon time,which tracks the day from sunrise to sunset; Central European time,which is marked with a hand in the shape of the sun; and Star time,measured by the way the stars appear to move because of the earth’s movement.
A calendar dial (刻度盘)notes the days of the week,month and year,and a zodiacal ring (黄道环)shows the path of the sun and the moon through the sky.But,it is the astrolabe (星盘)that is the heart of the clock’s mechanical (机械的) operation.It tracks the position of the sun,the moon and stars,and has been a necessary tool for astronomers.
Over the centuries,the clock has been damaged and repaired,but,always returned to fully working order.Its longevity has inspired a number of sayings.One is that when the clock stops running,the Czech land will be thrown into war and privation (贫困).Another holds that whoever tries to affect the machine will die or go crazy.
Skala,who has been a clock master for 25 years,said he was honored when asked to take care of the Orloj eight years ago.Asked whether he believed the sayings,Skala smiled.“I didn’t believe the stories,” he said,“or else I would never be able to work on the clock.”
24.What is the heart of the Orloj’s mechanical operation
A.A calendar dial. B.A zodiacal ring.
C.The astrolabe. D.The hands.
25.Why are there so many sayings about the Orloj
A.Because of the old clock’s longevity.
B.Because of the war in Czech.
C.Because of the deaths of menders.
D.Because of many unbelievable facts.
26.Why did the author write this text
A.To show the Orloj’s long history.
B.To praise the Orloj makers’ wisdom.
C.To prove Skala didn’t believe the sayings.
D.To encourage people to make better clocks.
27.What’s the main idea of this text
A.Skala will restore the old Orloj.
B.A legend about the old Orloj.
C.The old Orloj measures time accurately.
D.The Orloj stopped to be restored.
C
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own hometown where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
28.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
29.Which of the following is true according to the author
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
30.According to the last paragraph,the author probably wants the architect and planner to________.
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
D.choose new architectural styles
31.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D
Vellum(羊皮纸) is the material on which history was written and made.Centuries after its peak,it is still in production.Vellum is still a healthy industry,says Paul Wright of William Cowley Parchment Makers in a small workshop.But his company is the last vellum maker left in Britain.The lack of competition is good for Mr Wright but bad for the craft.
In the past two years Heritage Crafts,an industry body,has produced lists of 130 critically endangered skills.That might not seem alarming.Heritage Crafts shows Britain is a nation of heritage lovers—the National Trust,a heritage charity,proudly notes that it has more members than Costa Rica has people.Britons tend to think of heritage in the country-house-and-gardens sense:history,served with a helping of high tea.Britain does not subscribe to UNESCO’s convention on safeguarding immaterial heritage.But Daniel Carpenter,the head of Heritage Crafts,argues that people as well as fancy houses are an important “part of our culture”.
Words alone cannot keep crafts alive.Greg Rowland is a wheelwright:he makes and repairs wooden wheels for various uses.His family have been wheelwrights,on and off,since 1331.Much of his knowledge cannot be reduced to words.“When you are driving a spoke(辐条) in,” he says,“you know when it’s home because the sound changes slightly.” This can only be learnt by doing.“You can’t learn a sound from a book.”
Even those deaf to the importance of immaterial heritage might be aware of its consequences.For many buildings,shortages are pressing.When the Notre Dame Cathedral Paris burnt down,Paris struggled to find craftspeople to repair it.
If Britain is not to lose other skills,its politicians will have to take action.So far,Mr Carpenter says,they have had “very little motivation”.But their interest has been piqued recently.The Palace of Westminster is being rebuilt and they have struggled to find skilled workers to restore it.This,says Mr Carpenter,is drawing their attention to the problem nicely.
32.What do we know about the vellum industry
A.It is run by Heritage Crafts.
B.It has been in sustainable growth for long.
C.It is in competition with the National Trust.
D.It is still surviving in Britain.
33.What does Rowland think of wheelmaking
A.It is hands-on work.
B.It has experienced ups and downs.
C.It has been introduced in many books.
D.It should be partly automated.
34.Why does the author mention the Notre Dame Cathedral Paris in paragraph 4
A.To prove the beauty of it.
B.To praise the hard work of Parisians.
C.To show the importance of protecting heritages.
D.To remind people of keeping away from fire.
35.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “piqued” in the last paragraph
A.Maintained. B.Inspired.
C.Decreased. D.Shared.

Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites.__39__ And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.
Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied,but many will be very expensive.__40__.
A.Different ways can be adopted to save these sites.
B.Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.
C.It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage.
D.How to survive in these areas has become an issue for Italians.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alice and her family went on a camping trip along the seaside.Upon arrival,Dad called for a meeting.He announced,“There are lots of jobs to be done.It’s no fun on holiday if Mum and I do all the work,so I come up with this pocket money chart.In this way,everyone has to do something,and you must do your own job every day! If you do your jobs well,you get some extra pocket money!”
Looking at the chart,which had their names on it next to a list of jobs,the kids frowned (皱眉) at the idea.Unwillingly,they began to do their jobs.Alice washed up the dishes.Mike,the youngest brother,dried the dishes.Jeff,Alice’s twin brother,took their dog for a walk.
The next day they went to the beach.After playing some time in the sea,they went to look for shells along the beach.Suddenly,Alice found a strange-looking rock.She picked it up and showed it to Dad.“You’ve found a fossil (化石)! It was once a shellfish and has turned into a rock after millions of years!” Dad said happily.Greatly inspired,Alice continued her search,determined to find a better one,but she failed.Darkness fell,and Alice had to head back to the campsite with her family in disappointment.On the way back they stopped at a shop,where Alice spotted some amazing fossils! But soon she found they were too expensive!
Back at the camp,Alice was still thinking of the amazing fossils in the shop.Suddenly an idea occurred to her,“I’ll do everyone’s jobs and then I can get all the extra pocket money to buy a fossil!” The next morning,Alice offered to dry the dishes and walk the dog,which greatly pleased Mike and Jeff.But things didn’t go as Alice planned.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
When Dad saw Alice walking the dog,he was confused.
Later that morning,Mike and Jeff approached Alice when they found she was unhappy.

Passion For Historic Sites
Visiting historic sites enjoys/gains increasing popularity nowadays with more people holding that it is a good way to broaden their horizons.Besides,historic sites serving as carriers and witnesses of history,paying a visit to them enables us to get immersed in/exposed to our history and culture in depth,which,to some extent,strengthens our national confidence and pride.
As for me,Dongdu Temple,located in the southeast of Zhangjiagang,is an ideal place to explore,with its strong local features and profound cultural background.
