Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.Londons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and

8、 it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo

9、Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building arent regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of

10、 broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87

11、 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now t

12、hey are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did tha

13、t 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartment

14、s and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever a

15、ccept it as a valuable addition to the city.4Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.A. its cost B. its sizeC. its height D. its shape5When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to _.A. change Londons skylineB. imitate the Egyptian styleC. inherit Londons traditionD. attract pote

16、ntial visitors6The critics who refer to social division think the Shard _.A. is far away from the poor areaB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is only preferred by the richD. is popular only with Londoners7Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectB. The Sh

17、ard: New Symbol of London?C. The Shard: A Change for the Better?D. The Shard: Cheers and Claps(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesnt realiz

18、e he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly arent the first person hes met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a o

19、ne-time or an emergency? If so, you dont have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to ke

20、ep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friends birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday lik

21、e nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. Happy belated birthday! is short for: Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Dont lie. R

22、eceiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? Yes, you can say if ever asked, I saw it. No explanation is needed as to why you dont respond.8You will get annoyed in a theater when _.A. a person is too active B. a person sits too cl

Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.As has been all too apparent in recent days at B

25、alcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take direct action, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies

26、(财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) . Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring

27、, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy genera

28、tion. Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We

29、 have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and exp

30、laining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the info

31、rmation should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.12We can learn from the first paragraph that_.A. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesB. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC. energy policy catches much attention of the publicD. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents13Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based powerB. agrees with EU targets
