Its construction began in 1632 and took21 years,and the total cost came out to 32 million rupees, which equals more than eight hundred million USD. The project was overseen by a board of architects led by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Hungarian Parliament Building,HungarySeven years after the city of Budapest was established, the parliament of Hungary, called the Hungarian Diet, wanted a building constructed to represent the nation's sovereignty(主权）． The building's construction, which took 19 years to complete, required 100,000 people and included 40 million bricks,500,000 precious stones,and 88 pounds of gold.Chateau de Chambord,FranceThe mixture of French medieval and Renaissance architecture took 28 years to complete (though never fully) and originally served as a hunting lodge for King Francis I. Although the structure was considered to be designed by Domenico da Cortana, it is said that Leonardo da Vinci was also involved.Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral. RussiaThe oldest landmark in Russia's St. Petersburg is also the location of the world's tallest religious bell tower at 122 meters tall. The cathedral was built between 1712 and 1733,designed by Domenico Trezzini under the ruler of the Russian empire at the time, Peter the Great.1.Why was Hungarian Parliament Building built?A.

Taj Mahal.B.Hungarian Parliament Building.C.Chateau de Chambord.D.Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral.3. Where is the world's tallest religious bell tower?A. In India.B. In Hungary.C. In France.D. In Russia.BAfter watching Stanford's graduation celebration online,Farrow took to social media to announce the milestone to her followers. “I graduated from college today. First-generation,low-income,and first from my tribe(部落）to graduate from Stanford," she posted.The message quickly attracted thousands of likes and comments. Farrow said she was shocked by the sudden fame. “I didn't know how to react,” she said. "So, I kind of kept it a secret for as long as I could. " But that proved to be easier said than done.Farrow's home is on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the countryside of Oregon. The reservation is small and home to about 3,500 members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla. Growing up there wasn't always easy. Few residents attend college, and many are low-income and face health challenges.＂Like most reservations in the United States,we have a lot of health disparities（差异）that range from mental health, physical health and spiritual health," she said."I wanted to break that cycle for the betterment of myself and the future generations and my community." Growing up, Farrow threw herself into academics and school activities. She attended a local tribal high school and earned the Gates Millennium Scholarship,a full academic scholarship for minority students.At Stanford, Farrow majored in psychology with a concentration in health and development. She had initially planned to pursue a medical career and become a doctor but has decided to apply to graduate school this fall to pursue a master's degree in public health. She hopes to spend her career working to improve health outcomes for local people.Farrow said her experience in the reservation has provided a solid foundation for her future. “I will remember the four years I spent at Stanford an d I'm really excited to see what is next," she said.4. Why was Farrow's graduation unusual?A. Farrow kept it from others.B.It was broadcast on social media.C.It received considerable attention.D.Farrow failed to attend its celebration.5.What can we know about Farrow's hometown?A. It's a backward area.B. It's a vast reservation.C.It lacks access to education.D. It takes health very seriously.6.What's Farrow's plan for her next step?A. To become a doctor.B.To further her studies.C. To start working in her hometown.D. To earn a graduate school scholarship.7. What is the best title for the text?A. No Pains,No GainsB.The Road to a Key UniversityC.Stanford Graduate Shocked the WebD.Breaking Limitation, Attaining SuccessCA shark that walks in water instead of swimming might sound strange. However, that is precisely how the four new species of the fish-found in the waters of the Indo - Australian islands-move across the seafloor. The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists,led by Dr.Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland.The newly-found species belong to the genus Hemiscyllium, the same family as the previously known five species. At less than a meter long on average, much shorter than mostknown species,walking sharks are incredibly cute little animals and present no threat to people. They have all evolved(进化）to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to live in low oxygen environments gives them a remarkable advantage over the unsuspecting smaller animals they mainly feed on.A DNA analysis of skin piece from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their swimming brothers and sisters about nine million years ago and became a distinct species. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!The scientists say that the sharks' small number and shallow habitat make them extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and overfishing.Three of the nine walking shark species, all of which live in the waters off Northern Australia,eastern Indonesia, and near the island of New Guinea, are currently on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List,which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.8. What's a characteristic of the newly-found shark species?A. They're dangerous to human.B.They swim across the seafloor.C.They can survive without oxygen.D. They're smaller than many other species.9. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.People have long known walking sharks.B. Walking sharks are the oldest of their kind.C.Researchers learn a lot from the sharks' habitats.D. Walking sharks are closely linked to swimming sharks.10. What does the underlined word “vulnerable" in the last paragraph mean?A.Easy to be hurt.B. Hard to get along with.C.Fond of attacking.D. Picky about the environment.11.What's the purpose of the text?A. To educate.B. To inform.C.To advertise.D.To argue.DAs a greenhouse gas,carbon dioxide-or CO2-helps warm the atmosphere. But too much of that gas has been driving an atmospheric fever. Recently, a team of researchers found a way to turn CO2 into a useful product. The researchers are turning CO2 into ethanol(乙醇） which is often added to gasoline. Although adding ethanol reduces the energy in gasoline, it offers a nice tradeoff: it helps gasoline burn more cleanly. So making ethanol from CO2 would be better for the environment.To do that, the researchers developed a brand-new catalyst(催化剂）which could accelerate the chemical reaction. With it, the voltage(电压）needed to start the new CO2-to-ethanol reaction is far less than what's needed to start similar reactions. And although chemical reactions often make many unwanted byproducts, this new one does not. More than 90 percent of the final product is ethanol.The new catalyst uses a bed of carbon to support copper atoms(铜原子）。
