She liberatedarchitectural geometry（几何）,giving it a whole newexpressive ide ntity. Geometry became, in her han ds, a vehicle for un precede nted and eye-popp ing new spaces. Her buildings elevated uncertainty to an art, conveyed in the odd ways.Her work implying mobility, speed, freedom and uncertainty spoke to a worldview widely shared by a younger generation. "I am not EuropeO®ni I t do conventional work and I am awoman,' Strikingly Ms. Hadid never allowed herself on her work to be categorized by her backgro und or her gen der. And she was one of a kind, a path breaker. I n 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture Nobel. ' sZaha Hadid was born in Baghdad on October 31, 1950. Then in 1972, she arrived at the architectural association in London, a center for experimental design. Her teachers included Elia Zen ghelis and Remand tai Koolhaas. “ They aroused my ambiti on, ” she would recall,trust even my stra ngest in sti nets. ” By€theadl98siablished her own practice in London.And she began to draw atte ntion with an un realized plan in 1982 —1983 for the Peak Club.Her partner, Patrick Schumacher, played an instrumental and collaborative role in her career. Mr. Schumacher coined the term parametric （参数的）design to include the computer-based approach that helped the firm ' most weird concepts become reality. Ms. Hadid called what resulted in an organic Ianguage of architecture, based on these new tools, which allow us to combine highly complex forms into a fluid （流线的）and complete whole.Her sources were n ature, history or whatever she sought useful. When her Rose nthal Cen ter, a relatively modest project, ope ned in 2003, Herbert Muschamp, the architecture critic declared it “ the most impctant American building to be completed since the end of the cold war ”.“ Shevas bigger than life, a force of nature, as Amale Andraos, the dean of Columbia University ' s architecture school, put it, “ she was a pioneer. ”She was. For wome n, for what cities can desire to build and for the art of architecture.56. What features the structures designed by Zaha Hadid?A. Free architectural geometry.B. Conventional design.C. Odd imag in ati on.D. Colorful patter ns.57. According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, which of the following statement is TRUE ?A. Zaha Hadid taught herself to trust in st in cts.B. The plan for the Peak Club hasn ' t beert.carriedC. The architect ' s gen der in flue need her dramatically.D. Zaha Hadid was the first architect to win the Pritzker Prize.58. How did the computer-based approach make a differenee to Zaha Hadid ' work?A. It con tributes to realiz ing the stra nge ideas.B. It simplifies the complex structure as a whole.C. It provides new tools to translate the Ianguage.D. It serves as an instrument to interpret the concepts.59. The purpose of the passage is to ______________ .A. present Zaha Hadid 'life experieneeB. praise Zaha Hadid ' inspiration and diligeneeC. compare Zaha Hadid ' works in different timesD. show Zaha Hadid ' gseat contributions to architecture(B)SFWC/Sa n Fran cisco Writers Foun dati on is a non profit orga ni zati onBehind the Scenes of a Writ ing ConferenceWhen you atte nd a writi ng conference, you see a facade that took mon ths or Ion ger to make up. Ple nty is going on behi nd the seen es. Let be'indtak e cdoaki.The day starts long before atte ndees walk through the door. Registrati on is set up, sig ns posted and tables arranged. Logistics (后勤)all fall on the conference organizers. For example, the annual conference I direct in San Fran cisco (see the poster above) is a simple on e-day conference that takes more tha n eight mon ths to put together and around 15 staff and volun teers to man age. Larger multi-day conferences have even more going on beh ind the seen es.Oversee ing it all is the conference director, a con ductor who typically works with committee directors to make sure everyth ing runs smoothly. Over the course of the conferen ce, staffers make sure everything stays on track. It ' s not unusual for staff to walk miles in a day athbgb wmeals.Conference staff and volun teers are always behi nd the curta ins mak ing sure your experie nee is perfect. The next time you attend a well-run writing conference, take a moment to thank staff and volun teers for their devoti on. They deserve all the praise they can get because without them, there would be no conference.60. The underlined word facade refers to ________________ .A. the effort behind the scenesB. the scenes visible to the publicC. the literary masterpiece on displayD. the material distributed at the meeting61. What ' tlse latest time to start to arrange for the on e-day conference in San Fran cisco?A. July, 2019.B. March, 209.C. September, 2019 .D. January, 2019.62. Accord ing to the writer, the atte ndees of the 2020 San Fran cisco Writers Conference shouldpraise the _______________ .A. three speakersB. authors and editorsC. staff and volunteersD. corporate sponsors(C)Each year, backed up by a growing anti-consumerist movement, people are using the holiday seas on to call on us all to shop less.Driven by concerns about resource exhausti on, over recent years environmen talists haveincreasingly turned their sights on our “ consumer culture ” . Groups such as The Story of S Buy Nothing New Day are growing as a movement that increasingly blames all our ills on our desire to shop.We clearly have a grow ing resource problem. The produces we make, buy, and use are ofte n linked to the destruction of our waterways, biodiversity, climate and the land on which millions of people live. But to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blam ing in dividuals for what is a systematic problem.While we compla in about environmen tal destruct ion over Christmas, en viro nmen talists ofte n forget what2020上海浦东高三英语一模试卷the holiday seas on actually means for many people. For most, Christmas isn - ' t an add on to an already heavy shopp ing year. In fact, it is likely the only time of year many have the opport unity to spe nd on friends and family, or even just to buy the n ecessities n eeded for moder n life.This is particularly, true for Boxing Day, often the target of the strongest derision （嘲弄）byanti-consumerists. While we may laugh at the queues in front of the shops, for many, those sales provide the one chanee to buy items they ' ve needed all year. As Leigh Phillips argues,of the few times of the year that people can even hope to afford such ' luxuries ', prese nts their kids are ask ing for, or just an applia nee that works. ”In deed, the richest 7% of people are resp on sible for 50% of gree nhouse gas emissi ons. This becomes particularly harmful whe n you take into acco unt that those shopp ing on Boxing Day are only a small part of our consumption “ problem Snyway. Why are environmentalists attacking these in dividuals, while ignoring such people as Russia n billio naire Roma n Abramovich, who has his own £ 1.5bn yacht with a missile defence system?Any way, an ti-c on sumerism has become a moveme nt of wealthy people talk ing dow n to the working class about their life choices, while ignoring the real cause of our environmental problems. It is no won der one is cha nging their behaviours—or that environmen tal destruct ion continues without any reduct ion in inten sity.63. It is in dicated in the 1 paragraph that duri ng the holiday seas on, many con sumers ___ .A. ignore resource problemsB. are fascinated with presentsC. are encouraged to spend lessD. show great interest in the movement.64. It can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the environmentalist movement _______ .A. has targeted the wrong personsB. has achieved its intended purposesC. has taken environment-friendly measuresD. has benefited both consumers and producers65. The example of Roman Abramovich is used to show environmentalists ' .A. madness about life choicesB. discontent with rich lifestyleC. ignorance about the real causeD. disrespect for holiday shoppers66. It can be concluded from the text that telling people not to shop at Christmas is ______ .A. anything less than a responsibilityB. nothing more than a biasC. in dicative of en vir onmen tal aware nessD. un acceptable to ordinary peopleSectio n CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more senten ces tha n you n eed.The Ban on Tradi ng Ivory （象牙）is Un fair but NecessaryAs in some countries elephant population have recovered, there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be. Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make. But it is not strong eno ugh. The ban must stay.Understandably, countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this is unfair. 67. And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local peoplewho are in competiti on with wildlife for resources, and sometimes in con flict with it ——elepha ntscan be destructive. People and gover nmen ts, so the argume nt goes, n eed to have an econo mic stake（利害关系）in the elephants' survival. The ivory trade would give them one.To un dersta nd why these reas on able-so unding proposals should be rejected, con sider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised, when Botswana, Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japa n. 68._________________ A survey con ducted in 2014-15 estimated that elepha nt nu mbers had falle n by 30% across 18 cou ntries since 2007.69 ___________________ In better-resourced national parks, drones are used to make iteasier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from, and thus whether they are legal. As prices of the tech no logies fall and coun tries get richer, both tech no logies are likely to spread.The object ion to trade in products of endan gered species is not moral. When the world is con fide nt that it will boost elepha nt nu mbers rather tha n wipe them out, the ivory trade should be encouraged. 70. And until it does, the best hope for the elephant—andeven more endan gered species, such as rhinos (犀牛)—lies not in eas ing the ban on tradi ng their products, but in enforcing it better.IV.

How Supermarkets Are Changing Brita inThe British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thi ng?Not necessarily. For a start, many small shops can ' t compete on price with superstores suchas Tesco. And they don ' t have as many produetther. As a result, 36% of the UK' ssmall shops shut dow n betwee n 1990 and 1996 while the nu mber of supermarkets in creased from 457 to 1,102. Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket tha n in a pub. There are now over 55,000 supermarkets in the UK, but less tha n 55,000 pubs. A decade ago there were more tha n 61,000. These days, pubs are clos ing at the rate of 39 a week!Supermarkets are also bad for ani mai welfare. The UK has high sta ndards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced un der conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they ' vpot the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dish on est? Not exactly, but it isn true either!Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don ' t store food products themselves as storage space is expe nsive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this in creases the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn ' t good for the environment either.So, what can be done to help the "little guys ” ? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lo power. Many political parties receive don ati ons from supermarkets. And supermarkets ofte n use their money to in flue nee decisi ons. For example, just before the year 2000, one supermarket gave the government 124million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.V.
