第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Modern architecture has brought many amazing buildings to the world. Here are some of the strangest buildings in the world.
Habitat 67, Montreal, Canada
Habitat 67 is a very interesting arrangement of cubes, which looks like the building blocks that children play with. It is pretty interesting how it was designed. In its material sense, the cube is a symbol of stability. It looks so original and at the same time comfortable for living. It was created as a main attraction for Expo 67, one of the world’s largest universal expositions (博览会) where housing was one of the main themes.
The Basket Building, Ohio, United States
The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark, Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world. The 180,000-square-foot building, a copy of the company’s famous market basket, cost $ 30 million and took two years to complete. Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to change his plans, but he wanted an exact copy of the real thing.
The Crooked House, Sopot, Poland
Finished in 2003, the Crooked House has an extraordinary and amazing structure. Its design was based on the pictures of polish artist Jan Marcin Szancer and Swedish painter Per Dahlberg. It looks as if it had been taken from a cartoon. The building lines are not straight, but they are balanced, so the house is not ugly at all, just strange! The interesting part is how builders managed to create this genius idea, but the house is a fact and everyone admires their creativity.
La Pedrera, Spain
It is situated in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The story of the house is pretty interesting. The house was designed by Antoni Gaudi and built for a married couple. It is an extraordinary but stylish building considered to be highly unconventional-there is not even one straight line!
21. Which of the buildings above is associated with a toy? A. Habitat 67. B. The Basket Building. C. The Crooked House. D. La Pedrera. 22. What can we learn about the Basket Building?
