Incredible experiences in Bucharest
Admire one of the world's largest buildings
The world's biggest parliamentary building, Palace of Parliament, happens to be in Bucharest.
Hourlong guided tours manage to take in just a fraction of the building's threemillionplus square
feet(there are more than a thousand rooms) and focus on the tons of marble, hardwood, and gold
used in the building's construction in the 1980s, a time when Romania was trying to feed its own
people. Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, both played a direct role in the construction. It was
originally intended to house the presidential offices and the Central Committee of the Romanian
Communist Party but was never finished.
See remains of old “Paris”
“Paris of the East” was Bucharest's nickname in the decades before World War Ⅱ. Decades of communist misrule and a tragic earthquake in 1977 brought much of the old city down, but there
are places here and there where that former elegance can still be glimpsed. The Cismigiu Gardens
in the center of the city is a pearl of park built around a romantic lake and featuring oldgrowth
trees and gracious, wroughtiron signposts and benches.
Learn about Romania's roots
Walking through Bucharest's busy streets, it's easy to forget that outside the capital and a
handful of large cities, Romania is a largely agricultural country, with a long and rich peasant
tradition. The amazing Museum of the Romanian Peasant shows off the elaborate woodworking,
potterymaking, eggpainting, and weaving skills of the peasantry in a way that's both educational
and amusing. Small tongueincheek signs at the entrance to each room poke fun at modern life,
bring a chuckle, and draw you in. Downstairs there's a side exhibition on the Communists' efforts to
nationalize the peasantry in the 1970s and 1980s.
Appreciate 21stcentury art
Romania has exploded onto the contemporary art scene in recent years. The excitement was
generated initially by a group of young painters and visual artists from the northern city of
ClujNapoca, but at least some of the action has shifted to the capital as new galleries and design
centers open up. It's hard to pinpoint precisely what constitutes Romanian contemporary art, though
critics point to shared elements of wit and dark humor, a somber mood, and bits of surrealism in
defining a common style.
( )56. Tourists to Bucharest can do the following things EXCEPT ________.
A. admiring beautiful scenery of a park
B. appreciating its unique contemporary art
C. learning about the agricultural development in Romania
D. seeing the old city of Bucharest that has been wellpreserved
( )57. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Ceausescu and Elena were two famous architects
B. Romanians might have suffered a lot during the 1970s and 1980s
C. Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is the largest building in the world
D. Romanian's 21stcentury art originated from the capital city Bucharest
B
In 2016, designer Liz Ciokajlo received a task from the Museum of Modern Art(Moma) in New
York: revisit the Moon Boot, a fluffylooking snowshoe inspired by the footwear used by the
Apollo astronauts.
Launched in 1972 at the height of the lunar missions, the Moon Boot is an icon of the 20th
Century's “plastic age” and the museum administrators wanted a new take on it.
Ciokajlo set out to reimagine it. She knew only a biomaterial would work in a “postplastic
age”, but the designer also wanted a new destination to inspire it. Our generation's space travel
obsession is not the Moon, she thought, but the red planet—Mars. And Mars allows you to really
think outside of the box.
The task led her to an amazing biomaterial that had already attracted the attention of
engineers innovating in building materials and of top space agencies like NASA and ESA. Her
final design, a tall, female, roughlooking boot, can be made on board a spaceship with almost only
human sweat and a few fungus spores(真菌孢子), ideal for a sevenmonth trip to Mars with limited
checkin luggage. This magic biomaterial is mycelium(菌丝体), the vegetative part of the fungus. It looks like a
mass of white threadlike structures, each called hyphae. Collectively, these threads are called
mycelium and are the largest part of the fungus.
Mycelium has amazing properties. It is a great recycler, as it feeds off a substrate to create more
material, and has the potential of almost limitless growth in the right conditions. It can endure more
pressure than conventional concrete without breaking. It is a known insulator and fireretardant
and could even provide radiation protection on space missions.
On Earth it's currently used to create ceiling panels, leather, packaging materials and building
materials, but in outer space it stands out for its architectural potential, says artist and engineer
Maurizio Montalti, who has teamed up with Ciokajlo.
For her revisited boot, Ciokajlo wanted to use the human body as the source for some of the
building materials and decided to employ sweat. Reusing sweat is not entirely new in space
exploration but a novelty approach for footwear. She thinks it might make astronauts feel closer
to home during the long journey to Mars.
The design is still hypothetical, because the real boot submitted for Moma—and currently in
display at the London Design Museum—did use mycelium but not human sweat, as their deadline
was too tight, but the science checks out.
( )58. The sentences “‘Mars has always been a place where you can dream. It is a
place where you can reimagine how to live on Earth.’ Ciokajlo says.” should be put ________.
A. between Para.1 and Para.2 B. between Para.2 and Para.3
C. between Para.3 and Para.4 D. between Para.4 and Para.5
( )59. According to the passage, which of the following doesn't belong to the characteristics
of mycelium?
A. It can be recyclable.
B. It can protect people from radiation.
C. It can grow without limit whatever the condition.
D. Compared with conventional concrete, it can endure more pressure.
( )60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The new design will be used for moon exploration.
B. It will be some time before the new design is put into actual use.
C. Mycelium has been currently widely used, especially in outer space.
D. Human sweat wasn't used in the design because of some drawbacks.
( )61. The author takes a(n) ________ attitude towards the new design.
A. optimistic B. indifferent C. objective D. doubtful
C
Going to university is supposed to be a mindbroadening experience.
That assumption is possibly made in contrast to training for work straight after school. But is it
actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tubingen, Germany, thought she would try to find
out.
Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. It shows that those who have been to
university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have
spent their immediate postschool years in vocational training for work. However, it is not the case
that university broadens minds. Rather, work seems to narrow them.
After studying the early career of 2095 German youngsters, Dr. Golle reached the conclusion.During the period under investigation, Germany had three tracks in its schools: a low one for
pupils who would most probably leave school early and enter vocational training; a high one for
those almost certain to enter university; and an intermediate one, from which there was a choice
between the academic and vocational routes.
The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits
and the other of attitudes. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each
volunteer's time at school, and then again six years later.
Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, and it was on these that the
researchers focused. Of them, 212 went to university and the remaining 170 chosen for vocational
training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who
had gone to university had not apparently changed. Those who had undergone vocational training
and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial
respect—they had become more responsible.
That sounds like a good thing, compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a
bunch of pampered layabouts(娇生惯养的闲人). But changes in attitude the researchers recorded
were more worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen
the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising
in nature.
And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as
scientific research, are, indeed off limits to the degreeless.
But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The
researchers mention, for example, computer programmers, financesector workers and entrepreneurs
as careers requiring these attributes.
If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany
prides itself on are narrowing people's choices, that is indeed a matter of concern.
( )62. Compared with students going to university, those choosing the vocational route
________.
A. show more changes in their attitudes B. find it more difficult to land suitable jobs
C. are more interested in tasks related to science D. are more responsible and do their work better
( )63. The underlined word “detectable” in Para.9 can be replaced by “________”.
A. desirable B. predictable C. noticeable D. changeable
( )64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. University graduates don't need to receive training at all.
B. Germany should change the tradition of vocational training.
C. People without a degree may find a limit to their choices of careers.
D. In comparison with vocational training, universities can greatly broaden people's minds.
( )65. In which column of a magazine can you find the passage?
A. Science. B. Culture. C. Economy. D. Education.
D
When my visionchallenged daughter was 3, and I was pregnant with my second child, we got
her glasses. It was a long process involving many different opticians(配镜师) over the course of a
year, because of my daughter's overwhelming desire to scream and fly into a temper any time we
tried to have her eyes examined. The fourth optician was amazing—while my daughter didn't cooperate, she performed various miracles and managed what she called a “best guess” at her
prescription.
“Start with this,” she said. “When she realizes she can see better, bring her back and we
can try for something more accurate.”
I didn't want to pay $300 for glasses that might be replaced in a month's time, so I decided to
bring her straight to a Walmart optical. Things were going on well, until the optician needed to take
an additional measurement, which would involve holding a ruler up to her eyes and measuring the
distance between the outer corner of one eye and the inner corner of the other.
“Are you sure you need the measurement?” I asked. “She's really not cooperative when it
comes to the eyetesting stuff.”
“We definitely need to have it, we can't fill her prescription without it.” the optician said.
But my daughter would not let the optician anywhere near her face with the small plastic ruler.
She started yelling and crying, and we took her off to the side and promised we'd get ice cream
afterward if she let the nice lady hold the ruler near her nose! The optician gave us the ruler, thinking
we would have an easier time, but when my daughter knew we needed to hold the ruler near her
face, which, in toddler logic, meant a lifeordeath situation, she prevented us from getting anywhere
near her.
Finally, my husband and I agreed that one of us would have to hold her down and the other
would take the measurement. I sat on the floor trying to hold her head still while my husband tried to
get an accurate reading on that stupid ruler. Despite her struggle and scream, we finally got it. My
daughter stopped crying three seconds later and went back to play as if nothing had happened.
There is no version of this story where I feel comfortable using physical force on my child,
even if it was for her own good. I felt awful—wondering, if I were a better parent, would I magically
know what to say to get her cooperation? The weeks spent with a special book about wearing
glasses, telling her how great glasses were … I could feel tears welling up and I thought, “I can't
cry. I'm sitting on the floor of a Walmart optical centre. I can't cry here.”
And there it was—the final thing I could not bear. It was only noon, and the day had already
reduced me to sitting on the floor of a Walmart optical physically holding my screaming toddler
down to press a ruler against her face and do it for the packed Saturday audience of all the Walmart
checkout counters. I cried. Big, shouldershaking sobs. Sitting right there on the floor of a Walmart,
behind the optical counter.
Five days later, the Walmart optical centre called. They said my daughter's glasses were ready
for pickup and I should schedule an appointment with the optician so that we can have them properly
fitted. I said I'd be picking up the glasses alone and we would do the fitting another day. She
insisted that the fitting was crucial, to which I replied, “I don't know if you were working last
Saturday, but my daughter is really not cooperating on this whole glasses thing. I'd prefer to just pick
them up.” Silence. Then she said, “I was there last Saturday, I remember you. Absolutely, you can
pick them up any time.”
( )66. Why did the daughter scream and yell when the measurement was taken for her
glasses?
A. Because she didn't like the opticians.
B. Because she was afraid that she would die.
C. Because her parents didn't give her ice cream.
D. Because she had little knowledge of taking measurement for glasses.( )67. In Para.1, the writer described the work of the fourth optician in a(n) ________ tone.
A. ironic B. straightforward C. critical D. approving
( )68. Why did the writer cry in the Walmart?
A. Because she found it hard to educate her daughter.
B. Because she felt she could have done in a better way.
C. Because she strongly felt a sense of failure as a mother.
D. Because she felt it a shame to be watched by so many customers.
( )69. According to the last paragraph, the optician in the Walmart can be described as
________.
A. tolerant B. trustworthy C. considerate D. casual
( )70. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. A story of glasses B. My big fat Walmart cry
C. A great lesson for parents D. My struggle with my daughter

Who's Really Addicting You To Technology?
“Nearly everyone I know is addicted in some measure to the Internet”, wrote Tony Schwartz
in The New York Times. It's a common complaint these days. A steady stream of similar headlines
accuses the Net and its offspring apps, social media sites and online games of addicting us to
distraction.
There's little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the Net has difficulty
disconnecting. Then who's at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, it's important to understand
what we're dealing with. There are four parties cooperating to keep you connected: the tech, your
boss, your friends and you.
The technologies themselves and their makers are the easiest suspects to blame for our
distraction. Online services like Facebook, Google, twitter and the like rely on advertising revenue,
so the more frequently you use them, the more money they make. No wonder these companies
employ teams of people focused on improving their services to be as attractive as possible.
Good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them from coming too
close. However, less than 15 percent of smartphone users are willing to adjust their notification
settings—meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default to( 默 认 ) the app makers' every preset
devices.
While companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers, other
technologies have no such agenda. Take email, for example. We check email at all hours of the
day—we're obsessed, because that's what the boss wants. For almost all whitecollar jobs, email is
the primary tool of corporate communication. A slow response to a message could hurt not only your
reputation but also your livelihood.
Your friends are also responsible for the addiction. Think about this familiar scene. People
gathered around a table, enjoying food and each others' company. Then, during an interval in the
conversation, someone takes out their phone to check who knows what. Barely anyone notices and
no one says a thing.
The reality is taking one's phone out at the wrong time is more than an impolite behavior
because, unlike other minor offense, checking tech is contagious(传染). Once one person looks at their phone, other people tend to do the same, starting a chain reaction.
The technology, your boss, and your friends, all influence how often you find yourself using(or
overusing) these gadgets. But there's still someone who deserves careful examination—the person
holding the phone.
When people are doing something difficult they'd rather not do, the phone is used to transport
them elsewhere. They can easily escape discomfort temporarily, by answering email or browsing the
web under the excuse of socalled “research”. The truth is that we are working unproductively out of
our bad habits.
Personal technology is indeed more attractive than ever, which doesn't mean we shouldn't
attempt to control our use of technology, instead, we should come to terms with the fact that it's
more than the technology that's responsible for our habits. Our workplace culture, social norms and
individual behaviors all play a part.

Robots will create double the number of jobs that they will destroy, according to the World
Economic Forum(WEF), but there will be significant shifts in the structure of America's workforce
that may impact everyone. The report says that 75 million jobs will be replaced by artificial
intelligence(AI), robotics and automation. But it also suggests that 133 million new jobs may be
created as organizations shift the balance between human workers and machines.
It is a widely held belief that routine, lowskilled jobs are most at risk for automation, but the
report shows that many middleclass roles are also at risk. Financial analysts, accountants and
lawyers could all see significant changes by 2022. But manual workers could be among the hardest hit.
Meanwhile, there could be a huge change in the structure of the workforce, with the executives
surveyed by WEF expecting a shift away from fulltime work to flexible employment with a focus
on productivity.
All industries expect big skills gaps, stating that at least 50 percent of their workforce will
require reskilling of some degree. The aviation, travel and tourism industry will have the largest
demand for reskilling.

81. One possible version:
Robots are replacing human beings but are also creating twice as many jobs as they have
destroyed, bringing about great changes in the structure of workforce and requirements for
reskilling.
Behind the phenomenon are various reasons. For one thing, great advances in science and
technology make it possible for robots to be widely employed in many fields. For another,
productivity has been greatly increased by using robots, which in turn helps promote the popularity
of robots. Meanwhile, the widespread application of robots has generated great changes in the way
people work as well as their choices of jobs.
Feeling lucky to live in the intelligent age, I'd like to equip myself with relevant knowledge and enjoy the convenience it brings us. Besides, I will try to cultivate creative thinking and the sense of
innovation so as to meet the urgent needs of the fast development of science and technology.
