26、 Kenzo Tange was one of the most famous Japanese architects (建筑师)of the 20th century. He was born on September 4,1913 in Osaka, Japan. Tange spent his childhood in Chinese cities, Hankou and Shanghai, but was later raised in Imabari.
In 1930 Tange moved to Hiroshima to study at a high school. During his stay there, Tange came across the works of a Swiss architect, Le Corbusier and made up his mind to seek architecture. He finally started studying architecture in 1935 at University of Tokyo's architecture department.
After graduation Tange worked at the office of Kunio Maekawa. During this period he traveled a little and as World War II started, he flew back to Tokyo and started his post graduate studies at University of Tokyo. There he developed interest in urban design and started reading widely about Greek and Roman marketplaces.
In 1946 KenzoTange got the position of assistant professor at the University of Tokyo and became a professor in 1963 at the Department of Urban Engineering.
Tange's interest in urban design grew throughout his career and his urban projects, master plans and other urban structures gained a lot of admiration and appreciation. Tange's Tokyo Plan won him international recognition. In his plan, he suggested extending city growth out of the city over the bay and for this purpose he used bridges, man-made islands, floating parking and huge structures. Some of his wonderful projects are: Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima (1955), Centro Direzionale, Naples (1982)and Tokyo Dome Hotel （2000).
Tange is one of the most famous Japanese architects who struggled hard to make traditional Japanese architecture come to life by combining traditional methods with modern trends. He worked so closely on it that he finally gained his worldwide popularity as an architect whose work was so purely and strongly Japanese in nature. KenzoTange died on 22 March, 2005 at the age of 92 in Tokyo, Japan.

27、 When you enter a supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket and your food is in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk between the shelves. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The department selling milk and milk products such as butter and milk powder is called the dairy department. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says “1 percent fat” on the jar. The second says “99 percent fat free”. The third says “LOW FAT” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. However, in this store the three jars of milk cost three different amounts of money. Maybe the customers will buy the milk that costs the most.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says “Buy me!” to the customers. The expensive meat says “Buy me!” as you walk by. The expensive milk jar says “Buy me! I have less fat.”

28、 Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are wrinkled (起皱的) when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
“If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University UK told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles (大理石) from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour. The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not. Researchers said our ancestors might not have played with marbles but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers. Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.
But the question is if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling had its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
B.Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
C.Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
D.Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
【2】The test shows that _________.
A.wrinkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do
B.dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do
C.wrinkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do
D.dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do
【3】What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
A.They are too sensitive to be touched.
B.They might be more likely to get hurt.
C.They cannot hold things tightly enough.
D.They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.
29、 In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence --- as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch（关键时刻）,we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinct remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed（流血）, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement（执行）. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop to the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.
Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchange information. “Talk, talk, talk” the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.” It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument, the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possibly, my lord,” the barrister replied, “none the wiser, but surely far better informed.” Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.

C.Violence as a Legitimate Solution
D.Violence: The Instinet of Human Race

【3】It can be inferred that truly reasonable men________.

C.are persecuted
D.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement
【4】“He was none the wiser” means_______.
A.He was not at all wise in listening
B.He was not at all wiser than nothing before

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
