考题 It is pretty hopeless as a venue for opera, it took years to build, its architect was forced to resign and it was never properly finished inside. None of this matters. The Sydney Opera House, by the reclusive Danish architect Jorn Utzon, is the mother and father of all modern landmark buildings. It has come to define not only a city, but an entire nation and continent.Beyond that, it is a global expression of cultural modernity. Everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like. First designed in 1956 and finally declared completed in 1973, the opera house was the single best known modern building in the world until the arrival of Frank Gehry's equally extraordinary Bilbao Guggenheim in 1997. But it will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon--because it did all the difficult work tint.In the pantheon(万神殿) of classic modern buildings, Utzon's creation has the status of myth. The myth states that the unknown architect, then in his thirties, submitted rough sketches to the competition judges, that he ignored most of the rules, that his as only selected after being plucked at the last moment from the rejected pile by one of the judges, and that the design was unbuildable.But Sydney is remarkable for another reason: it is a complete one-off. It does not fit into any stylistic or chronological category. None of Utzon's other buildings--churches, government departments, house. looks anything like it, and architects today who try to copy his concept always end up looking very second-rate indeed. It is "modern", certainly, but it is an expressive modernism that was quite at odds with the rectilinear(直线的) "international style" of its time. It has more in common with the work of the American genius Frank Uloyd Wright, for whom Utzon worked briefly. Of course its location is an enormous help, sitting as it does on a promontory with water on three sides and the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge as a picture-postcard backdrop. But Utzon masterly exploited the site as nobody else could.Utzon left Australia in high indignation in 1966, never to return, before he could finish designing the interiors.As with Sir Christopher Wren at St Paul's Cathedral, Utzon was humiliated and removed from overseeing the final stages of his masterwork. But for all his manifold difficulties, which other contemporary architect can claim an equivalent achievement? The Sydney Opera House showed us that anything is possible, and it demonstrated that sheer, seductive beauty for its own sake is nothing to be ashamed of.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.the Danish architect Join Utzon totally failed in his design of Sydney Opera House and was forced to resignB.the Danish architect Jorn Utzon has been made known as the founder of all the modern landmark buildings, in spite of his part failure in his design of Sydney Opera HouseC.Sydney Opera House is hopelessly ugly and has never been finished insideD.Sydney Opera House is the single best known modern building in the world up to now

考题 Sydney Opera House will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon ______.A.because it is a global expression of cultural modernityB.because it is the first designed and built modern buildingC.because everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks likeD.because it is the pioneer in accomplishing such an international architectural icon

考题 The design of the Sydney Opera House has been taken as a myth because ______.A.it was the workpiece of the famous architectB.it met most of the rules for architectural design at that timeC.the design project suggested by Utzon was unbuildableD.it was designed by an unknown architect and was thought unbuildable at that time

考题 Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes (龙卷风) . Sometimes,as the wind passes a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. This explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado.The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However,inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch.The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the insidethat is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57600 pounds. The pressure of the four walls adds up to 172800 pounds.If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them.This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building.But if the windows are shut tightly, the huge inside pressure may cause the building to burst.Unfortunately, heavy rain often occurs in the storms that later produce tornadoes,so people often shut their windows. This may cause far worse damage later.21、 What did the paragraph before this passage most probably discuss?A、 Measuring rainfall from a stormB、 The kinds of damage caused by explosionsC、 The powerful winds of tornadoes22、 Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A、 How tornadoes can be preventedB、 When tornadoes usually occurC、 Why tornadoes cause so much damage23、 Tornadoes can destroy buildings because the()A、 force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a buildingB、 air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a buildingC、 air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172000 pounds24、 What is the difference per square inch between the air pressure inside a building and the air pressure inside a tornado?A、 2 poundsB、 13 poundsC、 15 pounds25、 What would happen if the windows are shut tightly in the stormy weather?A、 Tornadoes may be formedB、 The house may be apartC、 There may not be any pressure inside the building

考题 Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things.

He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate(预算)must be corrected and revised(修订). His estimate is based on existing prices, but prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high!) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builders estimate depends on the plan, but the final plan depends on the builders estimate.21. The best title of this passage is().A. Building a House Costs Much MoneyB. Estimate Is ImportantC.
