21、He was the son of Liang Qichao, one of the famous 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 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 master’s degree. In the 1930s and 1940s, Liang devoted 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 wasn’t an easy task. Most of these buildings were located in distant parts of the country. So the couple had to “travel muddy , poorly maintained roads by mule, rickshaw 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 of its kind.
As Liang once wrote, “Architecture is the epitome 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 People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, he worked as one of Beijing’s 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 Beijing’s ancient gates and city walls should be kept. Sadly, his advice was not accepted at that time.
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 creative 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”.
【1】Qinghua University held the exhibition in order to ________.
A.show the happy life of Liang and Lin Huiyin
B.celebrate the 120th anniversary of Liang’s birth
C.honor the great thinker — Liang Qichao
D.popularize the development of Chinese architecture
【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Liang got the doctor’s degree before 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 University.
【3】All of the following are the titles Princeton University awarded Liang EXCEPT ________.
A.a revolutionist
B.a pioneer
C.an architect
D.a leader
【4】What is author’s attitude towards Liang?
A.Accuse and blame.
B.Disapprove and object.
C.Doubt and question.
D.Respect and admire.
22、The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal (地热的) energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting (提炼) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal (煤) produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
【1】Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _______.
A. it is free to use geothermal energy
B. fossil fuels are nearly used up
C. the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
D. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
【2】According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A. Coal is much more efficient than gas.
B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
【3】Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of ________.
A. the nature of geothermal energy B. geothermal power plants
C. life span of geothermal equipment D. the small buildings
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.
B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C. Geothermal energy has many advantages.
D. Fossil fuels are being run out of.

24、Decision hard
From the moment we wake up each day, we’re faced with a continuous stream of choices.【1】, when there are too many options. This is decision fatigue (疲劳), a state of mental overload that can impede (妨碍) our ability to make additional decisions.
When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with more decisions. 【2】. As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren’t in line with your goals or values, experts say.
Here’s how to minimize or manage this phenomenon:
【3】. Some easy ways to do this: When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples, and buy the same brands each time.【4】. And if you’re trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time for it every day.
Tune into how you’re feeling. Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: If you’ve had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn’t normally upset you start bothering you, consider that a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. “People may not realize that they’re experiencing decision fatigue,” Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says. “【5】.”
A.Make some choices automatic
B.It’s something to watch out for
C.They should turn to the experts for advice
D.Put down what you have in hand and take a break from them

G.We tend to feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or otherwise out of sorts
