Students themselves will be modeling the clothes, which have been given to them by various well-known stores in the area. 70% clothes are from high street stores. Some are from designer stores and only a part are from personal studios. The show starts at 11:30 a.m. and begins with a presentation of men's fashion, which will include sportswear. There will be a short break for lunch at 1 pm in the canteen, the cost of which is included in the price of the ticket. The show will continue at 2 pm with womens fashion, which will include both winter and summer wear. The show will end at 3 pm with a presentation of the students, own designs. Itll be a fun day out! You can buy tickets for the show on the college website, or over the phone. But I recommend you to get them at the college bookshop, because the price includes a drink. The bookshop is next to the admissions office.

Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world. Importantly, the Grand Canal continues to provide a vital cultural and economic link for modern China.Construction BeginsThe original canal system began around the year 605. Chinas Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to feed his army. Specifically, he needed a way to move food quickly from Chinas southern rice-growing region to the countrys north. So, the emperor ordered the construction of the first section of the Grand Canal, connecting existing canals, lakes, and rivers. An estimated one million peoplemostly farmersworked on the construction, which took six years.Cultural Connections In addition to moving rice around China, the Grand Canal was an important cultural conduit. Soldiers, merchants, and artists transported ideas, regional foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another. According to legend, this is how Beijing acquired two of its best-known trademarks. Peking duck, a dish from Shandong Province, and the Peking opera, from Anhui and Hubei regions, were both brought north via the canal.The Modern CanalFor more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal. Even today, the countrys watery highway plays an important economic role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of coal, food, and other goods to points between Hangzhou and Jiningnow the northernmost city the canal reaches. In addition, local governmentseager to increase tourism and real estate developmentare beautifying areas along the canal.This development comes at a price, though. In Yangzhou, the city has torn down almost all of the older canal-side buildings. Farther south in the cities of Zhenjiang, Wuxi, and Hangzhou, the situation is similar. The hope now is that the Grand Canalone of the worlds great engineering accomplishmentswill continue to link north and south China for centuries to some.21. Why was the Grand Canal originally built?A. To allow the army to move quickly from the north to the south.B. To transport food from the southern regions of China to the north.C. To enable more people to visit remote parts of China.D. To promote the cultural and traditional diversity of south China.22. What is NOT true about the Grand Canal?A It originally took six years to complete its construction.B. Even today, it is the longest man-made river in the world.C. Around a million people worked on the first part of the canal.D. It allowed Peking duck and the Peking opera to spread to southern China.23. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of which paragraph? The city of Yangzhou, for example, has created a beautiful park near its waterfront.A. Para 1.B. Para 3.C. Para 4.D. Para 5.【2123题答案】【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的京杭大运河，它是世界上最长的人工河流，继续为现代中国提供重要的文化和经济纽带。介绍了其建造过程以及重要意义。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chinas Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to feed his army. Specifically, he needed a way to move food quickly from Chinas southern rice-growing region to the countrys north. So, the emperor ordered the construction of the first section of the Grand Canal, connecting existing canals, lakes, and rivers.(中国的隋炀帝意识到他需要一种更好的方式来养活他的军队。具体来说，他需要找到一种方法，将粮食从中国南部的水稻种植区迅速运往北方。因此，皇帝下令建造大运河的第一段，连接现有的运河、湖泊和河流)”可知，大运河最初修建的原因是从中国南部向北方运送食物。故选B。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world.(今天，这条水道比以前短了，但它仍然是世界上最长的人工河流)”以及第二段中“An estimated one million peoplemostly farmersworked on the construction, which took six years.(据估计，大约有100万人其中大部分是农民为这座耗时6年的建筑工作)”可知，关于大运河的说法中，D选项“它使北京烤鸭和京剧传播到中国南方”不正确。故选D。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“In addition, local governmentseager to increase tourism and real estate developmentare beautifying areas along the canal.(此外，当地政府急于增加旅游业和房地产开发，正在美化运河沿岸地区)”可推知，第四段最后一句提到了政府正在美化运河沿岸地区，可推测下一句应当是就美化措施进行举例，故“例如，扬州市在滨水区附近建了一个美丽的公园”最适合放在第四段末尾。故选C。BIn 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero net greenhouse-gas emissions in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement-making alone produces 6% of the worlds carbon emissions. Steel, half of which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you factor in all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the worlds buildings start to look like a giant environmental problem.Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behaviour by obliging developers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards. From January 1st 2019 all new public-sector buildings in the European Union must be built to “nearly zero-energy” standards. All other types of buildings will follow in January 2021. Governments in eight further countries are being lobbied to introduce a similar policy.These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines (风力发电机) and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those belched out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structures lifetime. Buildings can become greener. They can use more recycled steel and can be prefabricated (预制的) in off-site factories, greatly reducing lorry journeys. But no other building material has environmental credentials as exciting and overlooked as wood.The energy required to produce a laminated wooden beam (梁) is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After
