[单项选择]Passage Two

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing older buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive re- habilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960’s, but it was in the 1970’s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new cit A. restaurants, offices and stores B. sports and recreational facilities C. Boston’s new city hall D. a marvelous setting for commerce 查看答案 更多"Passage Two The most inte"的相关试题: [单项选择]Passage Two The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing older buildings.

When new words unfold out of old ones, the original meaning usually hangs around like an unrecognizable scent, a sort of secret. There are two immense words from Indo-European, gene and bheu, each a virtual anthill in itself, from which we have constructed the notion Of everything. At the beginning or as far back as they are traceable, they meant something like being. Gene signified beginning, giving birth, while bheu indicated existence and growth. Gene turned itself successively into kund jaz (Germanic) and gecynd (Old English), meaning kin or kind. Kind was at first a family connection, later an elevated social rank, and finally came to rest meaning kindly or gentle. Meanwhile, a branch of gene became the Latin gens A. how to coin new words B. where to trace the origin of language C. the evolution of words D. language and nature 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two The two claws of the mature American lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left side, is not unlike handedness in humans. But where the majority of humans are right-handed, in lobsters the crusher claw appears with equal probability on either the right side or left side of the body. Bilateral asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike. Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect A. drawing an analogy between asymmetry in lobsters and handed in humans. B. developing a method for predicating whether crusher claws in lobster will appear on the left or right side C. explaining differences between lobsters’ crusher claws and cutter claws D. discussing a possible explanation for the way bilateral asymmetry is determined in lobsters 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, People will still be driving gasoline-powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere--and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have patriotically named Green Freedom for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline. The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be extracted and subjected to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel. Although they have not yet built a fuel factory, or even a small prototype, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. "Everything in the co A. It is given a patriotic name. B. No law of physics is violated. C. It is based on existing technology. D. Carbon dioxide can be converted into fuel. 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two Unfortunately most of the science fiction films of the 1970s were not much influenced by 2001 A Space Odyssey. Skillfully directed by Stanley Kubrick, 2001. which appeared in 1968, set new standards for science fiction films. During the next decade, every one of the dozens of science fiction movies released was compared to 2001 , and all but a few were found sadly lacking. Admittedly, Kubrick had one of the largest budgets ever for a film of this kind, but, in my opinion, much of the movie’s power and appeal was achieved through relatively inexpensive means. For example, the musical score, which was adapted in large part from well-known classical compositions, was reinforced by the use of almost kaleidoscopic visual effects, especially during the space travel sequences. Spectacular camera work was edited to correspond precisely A. He objects to their camera work. B. He does not like their music. C. He believes that their stories are too much alike. D. He criticizes their special effects. 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [单选题]' 供油提前角若过小,将会使 ●    [单选题]小肠闭袢性梗阻的特点是（　　）。 ●    [判断题]排除非法证据后证据不足的,不得移送审查起诉。( ) ●    [单选题]建筑施工特种作业人员操作资格证的有效期为( )。 ●    [单选题]3.2.测量局部放电可以发现的主要缺陷是（　　）。 ●    [单选题] 某地几种传染病的病死率如下表，应选 用：病 类 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2024  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 截图扫码使用小程序[完全免费查看答案] 前往小程序 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
