16、 of his works.Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy.

21、e in the near future. B You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public tran
22、sport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else
23、comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. If there are two of you, yo
24、u go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stan
25、d in the middle. New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. Why are we so awkward in lifts? “You dont have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a c
26、linical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. And thats not possible in most elevators.” In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (
27、理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.31. The main purpose of the article is to _. A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D. analyze wh
28、at makes people feel awkward in an elevator32. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _. A. turn around and greet one another B. look around or examine their phone C. make eye contact with those in the elevator D. try to keep a distance from other people33. Which of the follo
29、wing describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?34. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _. A. judge B. ignore C. put up with D. make the best of35. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _. A. so
30、meones odd behaviors B. the lack of space C. their unfamiliarity with one another D. their eye contact with one another CBy the year 2050 it is estimated that the worlds population will reach nine billion. An interesting question：what happens when people in poorer countries manage to raise their liv
31、ing standard and demand more meat in their diet？Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, its simply impossible.Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050.Cribb says ther
32、e is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grows on supermarket shelves, and they dont consider the environmental effects of
33、 food production.Food has many hidden costs：huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation(退化)Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The figures for food waste in the West are staggering.To solve this problem of public ignorance about food, Cribb suggests that f
34、ood should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the worlds coming food challenges. This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on.Cribb offers other solution
35、s and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agricultural science, which has been falling by the wayside in recent years. He suggests organic farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing peoples thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the
36、very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water, as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.36In the second paragraph, one problem of the
37、 food system in developed countries is _.Aincreasing ignorance about the means of food productionBan increasing number of people moving to city centersCfood production doing harm to the environmentDthe cost of food production is increasing37What is the meaning of the underlined word in the fourth pa
38、ragraph?AConfusing. BAstonishing. CPuzzling. DPleasing.38According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school?ATo strengthen public awareness of food.BTo help students understand how to grow food.CTo develop agricultural science.DTo cultivate more productive farmers.39Which
39、of the following may the writer disagree with?AThe public should save food and save water.BOrganic agriculture costs a lot in terms of resources.CMore money should be used for agricultural science.DPeople should eat less meat but more fruit and vegetables.40The text is mainly about _.Athe effects of
40、 agriculture on the environmentBthe effect of the worlds population on agricultureCfood problems in the future and some solutionsDthe development of agriculture in the futureDMy fathers reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You wo
41、nt catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box!” Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture a
42、s to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen.Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, howeve
43、r untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable (难以渗透的), the institution (公共机构) was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol reflected peoples prevailing attitude toward money.But the attitude toward money has, of
44、course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit(赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a
45、 safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, thi
46、s bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion(人们的说法) begins.41. The main idea of this passage is that_ .Amoney is not as valuable as it was in the pastBchanges have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banksCthe architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bankDprejudice
