3、re into construction today. And the world owes some of its strangest buildings to the masterminds of unconventional architects. Here are some of them. Cubic Houses, Rotterdam, NetherlandsThe Cubic Houses are an architectural wonder located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. They were designed and constr

4、ucted by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s. Blom was asked by Rotterdam town planners to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge. They are cubes situated in different angles over hexagonal poles, so they look like trees and altogether make a forest. There are 38 small cubes

5、 and they are all attached to each other. National Centre for the Performing Arts, ChinaThe National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA), described as the Giant Egg, is an arts center in Beijing, China. The construction started in December 2001 and it took almost 6 years to complete. The building

6、is surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5, 452 people in three halls and is almost 12, 000 m2 in size. As one of the strangest buildings, it was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Forest Spiral, GermanyThe Forest Spiral is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany. It was design

7、ed by Australian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and constructed by the Bauverein Darmstadt company. The building was completed in 2000. Its a really amazing building with a green roof, resembling a spiral (螺旋). Habitat 67, Montreal, CanadaHabitat 67, a housing complex in Montreal, Canada, was d

8、esigned by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. Habitat 67 is shaped like a very interesting arrangement of cubes that kids play with.

9、. C. Their appearances. D. Their building materials. 22. Which of the following buildings resembles trees?A. The Cubic Houses. B. The NCPA. C. The Forest Spiral. D. Habitat 67. 23.

10、ave a green roof. D. They look like cubes. BRyan is a good kid. He gets great grades, he plays lacrosse (长曲棍球), and he is well-liked. So Jennifer and her husband didnt see any reason why their sixth-grade son couldnt have an Instagram account, until Ryan posted a photo of himself holding an empty be

11、er bottle that his father had just finished. My husband saw the photo pop up on Ryans account and went up the stairs in seconds, demanding that he should take it down, Jennifer says. I dont think my son realized how bad his picture looked. He was trying to be funny, but hes in sixth grade! Even if h

12、e was simply posing, that picture was inappropriate. With the popularity of photo-sharing site Instagram, its easy for parents to have a false sense of security. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Instagram is only for posting pictures and with the 13+age requirement and privacy feature, so it seems like a

13、n almost harmless site for children. How much trouble could they stir up? But thats not the fact. Shockingly, some kids are paying for attention on social media. When Paula Pryor found a mysterious $700 charge on her credit card, the last thing she suspected it to be was payment to a company that he

14、lped acquire likes on Instagram pictures. My son Hayden thought it was only ten dollars, but it was ten dollars per like, says Pryor. Often, its not your own teen thats cause for concern -its someone elses kid. Megan Koster couldnt figure out why her daughter Delaney suddenly became so anxious about

15、 whether her panty line could be seen through her jeans. Finally, Delaney said that she was worried someone would take a photo and post it on Instagram.

18、 from children. C. The influence of the Internet on young users. D. Concerns for the Internet security for children. CIs there actual evidence that a coin toss -the act of spinning a coin in the air with your thumb and catching it in your hand - tends to favor one side over the other? Or is a coin f

19、lip 50/50? A new study questions the fairness of the flip. One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team of scientists led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate Frantiek Barto. Their study, which is still undergoing peer review, collected and analyze

20、d the results of 350, 757 coin flips in 46 different currencies and registered that the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of the time. This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his

21、team. According to that theory, vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started. According to Diaconiss team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small de-gree of precession, meaning a change in the direction of the axis(轴) of turning throughout a coins track. Cons

22、equently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up. This makes a coin flip not quite 50/50. In 2007, Diaconiss team estimated the odds of a same-side outcome as approximately 51%. Nearly a decade and a half later, Bartos and his team found this very result. They p

23、ublished a pre-liminary report stating, Our data lend strong support to the previous hypothesis -The coins landed on the same side more often than not. Moreover, this was true for both sides of the coin and for all of the different coins tossed. As Diaconis stated back in 1986, The more you think ab

24、out randomness, the less random things be-come. But sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness. Indeed, when it comes to flipping a coin, the quickest shortcut to making your own luck might just be calling it literally as you see it. 28. Whats the purpose of conducting the study?A. To

25、 find evidence for the fairness of a coin toss. B. To prove an assumption put forward years ago. C. To state the definite chance of one side of a coin coming up. D. To analyze the result of over 300, 000 coin flips in different currencies. 29. What does the underlined word precession in paragraph 3

26、probably mean?A. Progressing. B. Spinning. C. Bouncing. D. Dropping. 30. Which of the following may Diaconis agree with?A. There is no need to consider randomness too much. B. We have to make good use of a lack of randomness. C. Whatever coin it is, randomness turns out to be fair ultimately. D. The

27、 harder we flip a coin, the greater chance we will gain its randomness. 31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Perfect Randomness. B. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Mysterious Guess. C. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? Think Twice!D. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? You Bet!DWild turkeys are a fa

28、miliar sight throughout New Hampshire, where flocks wander along roadsides and through backyards. In 1975, Ted Walski, the biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game, released 25 turkeys from the back of his truck in Walpole, a town in the western part of the state. It was part of a reintroduction ef

29、fort to bring back a species that had been wiped out in New England before the Civil War, where it used to suffer heavy blows -forests vanished for unknown reasons and people got their own way to hunt. Originally, I never thought it would get beyond a few thousand turkeys, says Walski, who spent nea

30、rly 50 years working with the birds before retiring in 2019. Instead, New Hampshires turkey population has exploded beyond all expectations, now around 45, 000 animals - the highest since the reintroduction, and probably the most the state can approach. Reintroduction efforts in neighboring states a

31、nd around the country have created a similar story -there are 70, 000 wild turkeys in Maine, up to 50, 000 in Vermont, and more than 30, 000 in Massachusetts-all of which total up to about six million animals reproducing in all states but Alaska. So what made the wild turkey one of the most successf

32、ul wildlife reintroduction programs in American history? Most likely, its due to the birds surprising and unexpected ability to live among humans. In the suburbs, turkeys can take advantage of edge habitat, like woods and open spaces, and dine on a never-ending buffet of food provided by people-part

33、icularly birdseed. Be-sides, it doesnt hurt that native predators, such as wolves and cougars, have largely disappeared from most parts of the turkeys range. But everyone is not thankful for the New England turkey boom. The infamously bold birds are troublesome, disturbing traffic and pecking at fro

34、nt doors, as well as potentially dangerous. In 2019, a 35-year-old pregnant woman was attacked by turkeys on the streets of Cambridge, Massa-chusetts-twice. As conflicts between these 20-pound birds and people are on the rise, particularly during the spring breeding season, wildlife officials are tr

35、ying to cope with the reality that the tur-key is here to stay. 32. What had made turkeys extinct in New England before the Civil War?A. Disappearing forests and unrestricted hunting. B. Ted Walskis reintroduction policy and its effects. C. Turkeys inability to reproduce and coexist with humans. D.

40、 but not finishing them. If youre one of them and want to finish what you start, first of all, you must be careful to choose what you want to do. When you start on a project, make sure that its something youre interested in. If you choose to do something youre half-interested in, youll stop it halfw

41、ay. 36 So if you are not sure whether this is something you really want to do, try it out on a small scale and see if its what youre interested in. 37 Faced with temptations, ask yourself whats more important to you -going out for the weekend or working on what youve planned to do? The former might

42、bring you some joy, but the latter is what truly gives you satisfaction. On the other hand, dont try to be perfect. 38 As a result, youll put off your work. Record your progress.

47、ce as any dollar between 2 and 100 44 so that they cannot negotiate with each other. If both write the same number, he will pay each of them that amount. If not, he will assume that the person writing the higher number is 45 and pay both of them the lower number with a 46 and a punishment-the person

48、 writing the lower number will get $2 more as a reward for 47 and the other will get $2 less instead. For instance, if Lucy writes 46 and Pete writes 100, Lucy will get $48 and Pete will get $44.
