9、mous thinkers of early-20th-century China. But Liang Sicheng made a name for himself and is considered to be the “father of modern Chinese architecture”. 2021 marks the 120th anniversary of his birth. To celebrate it, an exhibition Liang: the Overarching is being held at the Tsinghua University Art

10、Museum until Oct 20. More than 300 photos, videos, drawings, models, letters and other items are displayed. Liang studied architecture in the US. But he had a strong interest in Chinese architecture and returned to China in 1928 after receiving his masters degree. In the 1930s and 1940s, Liang devot

11、ed himself to documenting ancient Chinese buildings and sharing his knowledge with the public. According to CCTV, Liang and his wife Lin Huiyin visited more than 2,700 historical buildings across China. They measured and documented the structures. It wasnt an easy task. Most of these buildings were

12、located in distant parts of the country. So the couple had to “travel muddy , poorly maintained roads by mule, rickshaw (黄包车) or on foot”, noted The New York Times. But they never gave up. Their hard work paid off when Liang published his book, A History of Chinese Architecture , which was the first

13、 of its kind. As Liang once wrote, “Architecture is the epitome (缩影) of society, the symbol of the people . and the crystallization of the human race once destroyed, it is irrecoverable.” With this in mind, Liang worked hard to keep old buildings. After the Peoples Republic of China was founded in 1

14、949, he worked as one of Beijings city planners. Liang advised that a new administrative center for government buildings should be built west of the Forbidden City, far away from the Inner City. All of Beijings ancient gates and city walls should be kept. Sadly, his advice was not accepted at that t

15、ime. Liang also helped young Chinese people get the chance to learn about architecture. He founded the Architecture Department of Northeast University in 1928 and of Tsinghua University in 1946. According to Princeton University, which awarded Liang an honorary doctoral degree in 1947, he was “a cre

16、ative architect who has also been a teacher of architectural history, a pioneer in historical research and exploration in Chinese architecture and planning, and a leader in the restoration and preservation of the priceless monuments of his country”. 4. Qinghua University held the exhibition in order

17、 to _ .

Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Liang got the doctors degree before

18、he went back to China to work B. Beijing government valued his advice in city planning C. Liang made great contribution in recording the historic building D. Liang was the founder of Architecture Department of Tongji University6. All of the following are the titles Princeton University awarded Liang

19、 EXCEPT_ . A. a revolutionist B. a pioneer C.an architect D.a leader 7. What is authors attitude towards Liang? A. accuse and blame B. disapprove and object C.doubt and question D. respect and admireCAt the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions a

20、bout life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day. Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical activity t

21、hey need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in 2010, it was as low as 15 per cent. The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both parents working to pay for their house, often working hours

22、 not of their choosing, living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport. The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost opportunities for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunitie

23、s to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day. Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good”, quickly followed by Im hungry. This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my sons day comes out. I hear

24、 him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more. Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes, with days of regular, parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be toug

25、h to begin and takes a little planning-running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before, umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but its certainly worth trying.8. Why does the author mention Watkins predictions in the first paragraph?A. To make comparisons. B. To introduce the top

26、ic.C. To support her argument. D. To provide examples.9. What has caused the decrease in Australian childrens physical activity?A. Plain laziness. B. Health problems. C. Lack of time.D.

28、her condition into consideration D. parents have to stick to it every day. DAs digital devices have taken over society, “keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for early handwriting, a new study notes. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.“Some schools in Norw

29、ay have become completely digital, notes Audrey Vander Meer, the new studys leader, who measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors. She works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as ma

30、ny ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard, her new findings show. This is because writing and printing involve complex move

31、ments that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, gives the brain more hooks to hang your memories on, she explains.Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memor

32、ies of the shape of each letter. We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes were writing. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up

33、 for learning, says Vander Meer. So learning through only one format digital could be harmful, she worries.Vander Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates visual notetaking. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, k

34、ey words can be interlinked by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings. 12. What is the main idea of the text?A. Digital devices are popular with students.B. Handwriting beats typing in taking notes.C. The process of taking notes changes thinking.D. The new study makes contributions to

35、 science.13. What should young kids do according to Vander Meer?A. Communicate with the world. B. Rely on keyboard activity.C. Learn to write by hand. D. Master basic drawing skills.14. How does the author draw the conclusion?A. By studying how the brain develops.B. By observing social phenomena.C.

36、By assessing functions of senses. D. By comparing ways of taking notes.15. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A. Relationship. B. Fashion. C. Culture. D. Science.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most people dont change. They just become more the way they

37、 already are. While there are exceptions, most people find change difficult for several reasons. 16 Few people have an accurate view of who they are and therefore dont recognize the aspects of themselves that need improvement. Most people want to believe theyre well-balanced and even outstanding in

38、many ways. 17 .Then there is the human tendency to explain ones difficulties, short-comings and failures by blaming somebody else. You may find many people around you blame their poor performance on others. 18 You will probably never hear anyone tell you, I got fired because I was doing a terrible j

39、ob. Few people are willing to accept that their own character traits and choices are the main causes of the kind of life they lead.Finally, most people find it too challenging to change as it involves a lot of hard work and difficult choices. Even when you have learned enough about your true nature,

40、 you then need to do something about it. 19 Meanwhile, the reality can be really discouraging: you do much hard work but the results are never the sort of ideal change youre looking for.No matter how difficult it is, you still need to find your own way to change. 20 Real change begins with the recog
