【題目】 What makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it's hard to say. Now, let's take a look at some of the world's worst buildings.

The Torre Velasca

The Torre Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan(Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation(代表) of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower than the upper parts.

The Mirador Building

The Mirador Building in Madrid(Spain)was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect(建筑師)Blanca Lleó.The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular(矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.

The Prague TV Tower

The Prague TV Tower is in Prague(the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty, so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn't fit in.

The Longaberger Basket Company

The Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio(USA). The office block was opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It's got seven floors and two handles(把手)at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it's certainly one of the most unusual.

【1】According to the text, the Torre Velasca________.

A. was created by Blanca LleóB. is similar to a Lombard castle

C. has a history of over 100 yearsD. is taller than the Prague TV Tower

【2】Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building?

A. B.

C. D.

【3】When the Prague TV tower was put up，many people________.

A. thought little of itB. liked it very much

C. felt that it might fall down easilyD. thought that it was totally useless

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

本文是應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了位于不同國家的四幢奇特的建筑。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由The Torre Velasca一節(jié)中的Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle可知，Torre Velasca塔樓與Lombard城堡很相似，故選B項。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由The Mirador Building一節(jié)中的There is a large rectangular hole in the upper part of it可知B項為正確答案。

【3】推理判斷題。由The Prague TV Tower一節(jié)中的when the tower was put up...many felt it didn't fit in可知，當時人們對該電視塔并不看好，故選A項。

Last night a strong wind as well as a heavily rain struck our area. News came that the trees in the park two kilometers away from our school was blown down. This afternoon, they set off the park to do some cleaning. The head of the park met us or gave us some advice on how to clear away the falling trees, branches and leaves. Some times later, we were working hard when it begins to rain. Because few of us had taken along umbrellas or raincoats, so we were all wet. A rain lasted about an hour and it was a pity that they had to stop our work.

【題目】College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search.This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path — or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?

Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. Successfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field.

Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don’t necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance or math, may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.

Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized (籠統(tǒng)的) requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor’s degree, which proves students’ college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. If you worked or volunteered during college and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.

Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn’t the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you don’t know what career choices you have, talk to your faculty or academic adviser. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!

【1】What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Major Ups Your Career

B. Why Your College Major Matters

C. How Important Your Major Is to Your Job

D. Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You

【2】To be a customer service manager, college graduates______.

A. need to have related qualities B. should pass a licensing exam

C. are required to major in insurance D. must have relevant experiences

【3】The writer thinks that _____________.

A. majors are closely linked to career paths

B. students of finance tend to receive higher salaries

C. volunteer experiences help graduates get employed

D. social work graduates have more employment opportunities

【4】Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要點) C：Conclusion

A. B.

C. D.
