2、ented at the World Architecture Festival in 2009. The house has no windows but is semi-transparent and has a white interior which allows it to feel a lot less tiny than youd think.The Tree Hotel (Sweden)The structure is a cube-shaped building which wrapped around the trunk of a tall tree.

3、or is coated with mirrored glass which allows it to perfectly blend in with its surroundings and to reflect the sky and the trees.

4、urch XL (The Netherlands)The Saint Jakobus Church dating back to 1870 ceased to function as a church in 1991 and was later used as a showroom for events and furniture displays.

5、autiful historical monument back to life. The idea was materialized two years later.The Steel House (The US)Robert Bruno worked on this amazing project until his death in 2008, handcrafting everything with no outside assistance.

8、have been sown in our childhood. I grew up in Chennai, India in a home surrounded by books. I recall my mother telling me that when I was read to as a child, I knew exactly where one sentence ended and the next one began!One book that had a significant impact on me as a child was called “31 Brothers

9、 and Sisters” that related the story of an African girl who goes on an elephant hunt, a traditionally male sport. What struck me was this girl was challenging traditional standards of behavior in a society that was not happy with women expressing independence and the fact that this girl had black ha

10、ir like me and was also dark-skinned. I also had the opportunity to attend an unusual school that encouraged creative thinking. Here, I was encouraged by a few teachers who noticed my writing skills. However, English was actually my least favorite subject because we had to write on canned topics and

11、 there was no room for creativity. I have written three books so far. My first book, “Climbing the Stairs” was inspired by my mothers experiences growing up as a teenager during the Second World War. The book deals with the struggles of a teenage girl at a time when women were treated as second-clas

12、s citizens in society. My second book, “Islands End” is based on my own experiences as an oceanographer and working in the remote Andaman Islands, off the coast of India. “The Bridge Home” is a story of friendship among four street kids and loosely based on three kids I knew growing up. Each of the

13、three books is inspired by my own experiences, what I have read and people around me. My message to young writers is not to rush into writing or get too concerned with material rewards. In todays world, theres often too much of an emphasis on awards and honors, which no writer can control. Those are

14、 largely a matter of luck. Write for yourself and just enjoy the process.4What impressed the author in “31 Brothers and Sisters”?AThe African girls respect for her cousins.BThe African girls fight for independence.CThe African girls commitment to hunting.DThe African girls concern about her appearan

16、BA fiction.CA book review.DA leaflet.Earths great ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, are now losing mass six times faster than they were in the 1990s because of warming conditions. A complete review of satellite data acquired at both poles is apparent in its assessment of accelerating trends, say

17、 scientists. Between them, Greenland and Antarctica lost 6.4 trillion tons of ice in the period from 1992 to 2017. This was sufficient to push up global sea-levels by 17.8 mm. “Thats not a good news story,” said Prof Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds in the UK. Today, the ice sheets contr

18、ibute about a third of all sea-level rise, whereas in the 1990s, their contribution was actually pretty small at about 5%. This has important consequence for the future, such as coastal flooding and soil erosion,” he told BBC News.Its a team of experts who have reviewed polar measurements acquired b

19、y observational spacecraft over nearly three decades. The key one is the recognition that ice losses are now running at the upper end of expectations when compared with the computer models used by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the IPCCs 2014 assessment, its m

20、id-range simulations (模拟器) suggested global sea-levels might rise by 53 cm by 2100. But the teams studies show that ice losses from Antarctica and Greenland are actually heading to much more pessimistic outcomes, and will likely add another 17 cm to those end-of-century forecasts. “If that holds tru

21、e it would put 400 million people at risk of annual coastal flooding by 2100,” said Prof Shepherd. “What our latest estimates mean is that the period people are expecting will be shorter. Whatever town or coastal planning measures youre intending to put in place, they need to be built sooner.”Greenl

22、and and Antarctica are responding to climate change in slightly different ways. The southern polar ice sheets losses come from the melting effects of warmer ocean water attacking its edges. The northern polar ice sheet feels a similar sort of attack but is also experiencing surface melt from warmer

23、air temperatures.8What was a cause of the rise of the sea level?ALoss of ice sheets.BObservation of the poles.CMeasures of town planning.DInfluence of satellites.9What would be the significant result of the melting ice sheets for the future?ATwo thirds of all sea-level rise.BA 17 cm rise to the curr

26、ctica Ice Loss AcceleratingDAnnual Floods and Erosion Hitting Coastal AreasThe UKs planned ban on sales of new petrol, diesel (柴油) or hybrid (混合动力) cars could start as early as 2032, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said. Last week, the government raised industry concern after bringing the date

27、forward from 2040 to 2035 in order to hit zero-carbon emission targets. But Mr. Shapps told BBC Radio 5 live it would happen by 2035, “or even 2032,” adding there would be consultation.The main car trade body had previously said the 2035 figure was “concerning”.The government is setting out its prop

29、ell as including hybrids for the first time.” The UK has set a target of emitting zero carbon by 2050. Experts warned that the original target date of 2040 would still leave old conventional cars on the roads 10 years later. Once the ban comes into effect, only electric cars will be available. Hybri

30、d vehicles are now included in the proposals, which were originally announced in July 2017. Despite this, Royal Automobile club spokesman Simon Williams said, “While the government appears to be constantly moving forward for ending the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, drivers should n

31、ot be worried about choosing a hybrid car now.” “They are potentially the perfect stepping stone for those who want to go electric but have concerns about range (续航), as they arent as expensive as a battery electric vehicle. At the moment, they give drivers the best of both worlds.”How attached are

32、British people to their petrol vehicles? How long until conventional cars go the way of steam engine cars and horse coaches?12What is the car industrys attitude towards the ban on the sale of conventional cars?AAmbiguous.BIndifferent.CWorried.DApproving.13Why does the UK propose to ban the sale of c
