The Biggest Stadiums in the World

People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. Inaround

8 A.Q., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's bestknown

stadium arecontinues toinform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157

feet tall and had 80entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry

compared with thecity’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000

people.

These days, safetyregulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a

good view and acomfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities（容量）slightly

lower. Even soccer fans tend tohave a seat each; gone are the days of thousands

standing to watch the match.

For the biggeststadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas

list sofar, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as

updatedinformation from official stadium websites.

When almosteveryone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of

Australian homes stillpaying for a landline (座机)

These days you'dbe hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age

of 15 who doesn’t owna mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have

one in their cally everyone can make and receive calls

anywhere, anytime.

Still, 55 percentof Australians have a landline phone at home and only

just over a quarter （29%） rely only ontheir smartphones, according

to a survey （调查）.Of those Australians who still have alandline, a

third concede that it's notreally necessary and they're keeping it as

a security blanket - 19 percent saythey never use it while a further 13

percent keep it in case of emergencies. Ithink my home falls into that

category.

More than half ofAustralian homes are still choosing to stick with their

home phone. Age isnaturally a factor （因素）-only 58 percent of

Generation Ys stilluse landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of

Baby Boomers who'veperhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn't

the only factor; I'dsay it's also to do with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xerswith young families, like my wife and I, can still find

it convenient to have ahome phone rather than providing a mobile phone

for every family member. Thatsaid, to be honest the only people who ever

ring our home phone are our BabyBoomers parents, to the point where we

play a game and guess who is callingbefore we pick up the phone （using

Caller ID would take the fun out ofit）.

How attached areyou to your landline? How long until they go the way of

gas street lamps andmorning milk deliveries?

24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?

A. Their target users.

B. Their wide popularity.

C. Their major functions.

D. Their complex design.

25. What does the underlined word "concede" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Admit.

B. Argue.

C. Remember.

D. Remark.

26. What can we say about Baby Boomers?

A. They like smartphone games.

B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.

C. They keep using landline phones.

D. They are attached to their family.

27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?

A. It remains a family necessity.

B. It will fall out of use some day.

C. It may increase daily expenses.

D. It is as important as the gas light.

You’ve heard thatplastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7

million tonnes enter oceanecosystems every year. But does one plastic

straw or cup really make adifference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you

to know that it does. He buildsmassive sculptures out of plastic garbage,

foreing viewers to re-examine theirrelationship to single-use plastic

products.

At the beginningof the year, the artist built a piece called“Strawpocalypse,”a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash.

Made of 168,000 plasticstraws collected from several volunteer beach

cleanups, the sculpture made itsfirst appearance at the Estella Place

shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.

Just 9% of globalplastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means

the biggest source (来源)of plastic pollution,but they’ve recently come

under fire because most people don’t need them todrink with and, because

of their small size and weight, they cannot be straw that'

s part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink thatsomeone used

for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw willtake

centuries to disappear.

In a piece from2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明)a specific

statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic entersthe

ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, "Von Wong anda group

of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which werethen

tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒)froma truck all at

once.

Von Wong hopesthat his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce

their plasticfootprint.

28. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?

A. Beautifying the city he lives in.

B. Introducing eco-friendly products.

C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.

D. Reducing garbage on the beach.

29. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.

B. To explain why they are useful.

C. To voice his views on modern art.

D. To find a substitute for them.

30. What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers?

A. Calming.

B. Disturbing

C Refreshing

D. Challenging.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety

B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art

C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies

D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

D

During aninterview for one of my books, my interviewer said

something I still think aboutoften. Annoyed by the level of

distraction(干扰)inhis open office, he said, “That’s why I have

a membership at the coworkingspace across the street —soI can focus.

"His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworkingspaces also

typically use an open office layout (布局).But I recently came across

a study that shows why his approach works

The researchersexamined various levels of noise on participants

as they completed tests ofcreative thinking. They were randomly

divided into four groups and exposed tovarious noise levels in the

background, from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels, and

85 differences between most of the groups were

statistically insignificant;however,the participants in the 70

decibels group—thoseexposed to a level of noise similar to

background chatter in a coffeeshop-significantly outperformed the

other groups. Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our

creative thinking does not differ that much in responseto total

silence and 85 decibels of background noise.

But since theresults at 70 decibels were significant, the study

also suggests that the rightlevel of background noise—nottoo loud

and not total silence—mayactually improve one’s creative thinking

ability. The right level of backgroundnoise may interrupt our normal

patterns of thinking just enough to allow ourimaginations to wander,

without making it impossible to focus. This kind of "distractedfocus"

appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.

So why do so manyof us hate our open offices? The problem may be

that, in our offices, we can'tstop ourselves from getting drawn into

others’ conversations while we’re tryingto focus. Indeed, the

researchers found that face-to-face interactions andconversations

affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or acoffee

shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom

frominterruptions.

32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?

A. It helps him concentrate.

B. It blocks out background noise.

C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.

D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.

33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking

ability?

A. Total silence.

B. 50 decibels.

C. 70 decibels.

D. 85 decibels.

34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?

A. Personal privacy unprotected.

B. Limited working space.

C. Restrictions on group discussion.

D. Constant interruptions.

can we infer about the author from the text?

A. He's a news reporter.

B. He’s on office manager.

C. He's a professional designer.

D. He's a published writer.

I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after

meals. I also water the flowers in the yard and tidying up my own bedroom

whatever necessary. In my opinion, students can benefit a lot doing some

housework. Firstly, doing housework was helpful for us to be a responsible

person. Also, it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and

it improves the family relationship. What's most, doing housework can be

a form of mentally relaxation from study. That’s our view on housework.

And hopes this can inspire more thinking on the topic!

Can I help you?

Do you think you can take care of everything in the office today?

No problem. Just go home and take a rest. If there is anything I feel I cannot handle, I’ll

call you.

Sure.

Hi Nancy! You look worried. What’s wrong?

W:

Well Daniel, have you ever felt nervous on stage?

M:

Sure. Do you remember that play I was in a few years ago? I knew my lines, but I was

terrified to have to recite them in front of an audience. As soon as I saw the crowd of people

down there, my heart beat so fast that I was unable to say a single word.

W:

That’s how I feel just thinking about the spelling competition next week.

M:

I didn’t know you made it to the finals.

W:

I’m worried I’ll get nervous and freeze on stage. I might forget how to spell everything,

even my own name. I don’t know what to do.

M:

Nancy, I know that you’re not going to forget how to spell your name. I’ll help you get

through this. I’ll go to the school hall with you to practice. Then I’ll teach you an exercise my

baseball coach taught me. Believe me. It works.

I feel much better now. Thanks, Daniel.

(Text 9)

W:

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of

elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.

M:

To begin with, I’d like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my

grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very

well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60

years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an

extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans

can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health, but the loss of identity and

self-worth.

W:

Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?

M:

Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the

development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I’d like to focus my comments on

the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society.

(Text 10)

W:

Talking about personal relationships, well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my

mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I

can be anyone I want, as long as I’m confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me

to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to

admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to

help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us

close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She

gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that

can fade or break, I know I’ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She

is not just a role model, but someone I love.
