Visinary architects design buildings which speak fr themselves. Frm twering cncrete pillars t sculptural mdernist dmes (穹顶), the wrk f Balkrishna Vithaldas Dshi defined Indian architecture fr the latter half f the 20th century. Knwn as B. V. Dshi, he was a versatile mdernist architect — he designed everything frm accessible husing prjects t the Indian Institute f Management in Bangalre. Sadly, the great architect died n January 24, 2023, at the age f 95, leaving behind a fascinating legacy.
Brn n August 26, 1927, in Pune, sutheast f Mumbai, Dshi grew up with his father and grandfather, a furniture maker. As a child he came t appreciate hw their huse grew and changed. In 1947, shrtly befre Indian independence, he began architecture schl. Hwever, he never finished, a fact which he’d later pint t in life as an advantage. He married his wife Kamala Parikh in 1955. When she passed away, Dshi lived in a huse he designed and named fr his belved wife.
Dshi was influenced by the famus Swiss-French architect knwn as Le Crbusier. Dshi studied with him in Paris and then returned t India t supervise the architect’s wrk in Ahmedabad. In 1956, Dshi funded his wn firm called Vastushilpa. He traveled the wrld lecturing at universities, wrked with ther famus architects, and even funded the Center fr Envirnmental Planning and Technlgy (nw CEPT University) fcusing n understanding, designing, planning, cnstructing and managing human habitats.
“We did nt want t imitate smene else’s apprach,” he tld the Luisiana Museum f Mdern Art in 2018. “We wanted t find ur wn identity.” He drew frm his pride in Indian culture t create a style distinct frm Western designs. “I think f my buildings as my friends, my family,” he said. “I have a cnversatin with them, and that’s hw I create niches and staircases and penings and gardens…my buildings are nt nly pure and clear but designed t anticipate changes.”
Aside frm his mdern wrks, Dshi was devted t creating wrks t benefit the pr. He designed the Aranya Lw Cst Husing Prject in Indre. The phtgrapher Iwan Baan, wh phtgraphed sme f Dshi’s wrks, described the artist as “the mst apprachable architect I knw. Even very pr peple in his public husing prjects knew him, which is exceptinal.”

C. He made a cntributin t higher educatin in architecture.

New wrds emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years mre new wrds and phrases are entering the language than ever befre, partly due t the increased willingness f lexicgraphers (词典编纂者) t include them in the dictinaries.
Jhn Alge wh studies the histry f language says, “As ur culture changes, the language changes. American culture is ging thrugh a time f rapid change.”
Technlgy is mving fast, which has a big effect n language. The cmputer wrld prduces hundreds f new wrds. New terms als cme frm business, medicine, and ther fields.
Many new English wrds cme frm ther languages. David Jst helps create the American Heritage Dictinary. “We cnstantly brrw wrds frm ther cultures,” he says. “This will g n frever in cultures.”
“Peple in many parts f the wrld speak English nw. That is anther reasn why s many new wrds are entering the language,” says Alge.
The American Dialect Sciety has a cntest each year. The sciety selects a “new wrd f the year”, which gains high level f ppularity n media fr sme days. Last year the winner was “infrmatin superhighway”, referring t a whle set f electrnic netwrk f infrmatin and peple getting access t this netwrk by cmputer.
New wrds ften cme in several frms, such as the back-frmatin (like enthuse frm enthusiasm), the clipping (like z frm zlgical garden), and the cmpunding, etc. Over time, ne frm tends t win ut. Take the cmpunding fr instance. “Dmestic partners” has been grwing ppular lately, even thugh many terms have been used t describe cuples wh live tgether but are nt married.
“A new wrd rarely can be traced t ne surce,” says Alge. “Several peple fend t create a new wrd when a need fr ne exists.”
“Mst new wrds have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive thrugh the next 100 years.
8. What might have least effect n English language?
A. Culture.
B. Technlgy.
C. Other languages.
D. Language cntests.
9. What des the writer want t demnstrate by mentining “dmestic partners”?
A. It is a cmpunding wrd.
B New wrds ften cme in several frms.
C. Over time, ne frm tends t win ut.
D. A new wrd rarely can be traced t ne surce.
10. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. New wrds ccur all f a sudden.
B. New wrds will becme ld r extinct.
C. Infrmatin technlgy helps the American Dialect Sciety.
D. American culture changes rapidly as well as English language.
11. What’s the best title f this passage?
A. New Wrds Develping Naturally
B. English Language Changing Rapidly
C. English Vcabulary in a State f Develpment
D. New Wrds Influencing English Language

Cancer-fighting genes in elephants culd help tackle ne f the biggest killers f peple, accrding t research. Despite their large bdies and lng lifespans, elephants are much less likely t die frm cancer than humans, with death rates f less than 5 percent.
The paradx has puzzled scientists because mre cells lead t greater replicatins (复制), which increases the pssibility f the bdy failing t detect damaged DNA r a faulty cell that can result in tumrs(肿瘤). Elephants live fr almst as lng as humans and weigh up t five tns.
Hwever, a grup f British and Eurpean scientists say they have taken a big step twards slving Pet’s paradx, named after the British epidemilgist Sir Richard Pet. Elephants, they say, carry a much larger mre diverse grup f tumr-fighting prteins.
The findings, published last week in the jurnal Mlecular Bilgy and Evlutin, raise hpes that the cancer fighting genes in elephants culd be the key t tackling cancer, which kills abut 167, 000 Britns yearly. Cells keep dividing thrughut an rganism’s life, each carrying the risk f prducing a tumr. One f the bdy’s weapns is a gene called p53 knwn as the “guardian f the genme”, which hunts cells with faulty DNA. It encurages the cell t repair itself r self-destruct, keeping the cell frm cmbining with thers and prducing tumrs.
Humans have tw versins f p53 but elephants have 40, said the researchers. Bichemical analysis and cmputer simulatins als shwed that an elephant’s p53 genes are structurally slightly different, prviding a much larger anti-cancer tlkit. The researchers suspect that while faulty cells might be able t skirt tw p53 versins, they cannt cmbine with ther cells as easily in the face f dzens.
The findings will pen the way fr research n hw p53 genes f elephants are activated and n medical treatment fr humans
12. What has puzzled scientists?
A. Few elephants end up dying frm cancer.B. Elephants live lng and weigh enrmusly.
C. Mre cells lead t higher chances f tumrs.D. A larger bdy is less likely t discver faulty cells.
13. What can be learnt frm Paragraph 4?
A. Hw many Britns die each year.B. Hw the anti-cancer gene wrks.
C. Hw the research was carried ut.D. What the findings have been applied t.
14. What des the underlined wrd “skirt” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Strengthen.B. Detect.C. Escaped.D. Cure.
15. Which is the text mainly abut?
A. Scientists find elephants live lnger than humans.B. P53 genes play essential rle in preventing cancer.
C. Elephant genes culd be key t fighting cancer.D. Grundbreaking treatment fr cancer is n the way.

Visinary architects design buildings which speak fr themselves. Frm twering cncrete pillars t sculptural mdernist dmes (穹顶), the wrk f Balkrishna Vithaldas Dshi defined Indian architecture fr the latter half f the 20th century. Knwn as B. V. Dshi, he was a versatile mdernist architect — he designed everything frm accessible husing prjects t the Indian Institute f Management in Bangalre. Sadly, the great architect died n January 24, 2023, at the age f 95, leaving behind a fascinating legacy.
Brn n August 26, 1927, in Pune, sutheast f Mumbai, Dshi grew up with his father and grandfather, a furniture maker. As a child he came t appreciate hw their huse grew and changed. In 1947, shrtly befre Indian independence, he began architecture schl. Hwever, he never finished, a fact which he’d later pint t in life as an advantage. He married his wife Kamala Parikh in 1955. When she passed away, Dshi lived in a huse he designed and named fr his belved wife.
Dshi was influenced by the famus Swiss-French architect knwn as Le Crbusier. Dshi studied with him in Paris and then returned t India t supervise the architect’s wrk in Ahmedabad. In 1956, Dshi funded his wn firm called Vastushilpa. He traveled the wrld lecturing at universities, wrked with ther famus architects, and even funded the Center fr Envirnmental Planning and Technlgy (nw CEPT University) fcusing n understanding, designing, planning, cnstructing and managing human habitats.
“We did nt want t imitate smene else’s apprach,” he tld the Luisiana Museum f Mdern Art in 2018. “We wanted t find ur wn identity.” He drew frm his pride in Indian culture t create a style distinct frm Western designs. “I think f my buildings as my friends, my family,” he said. “I have a cnversatin with them, and that’s hw I create niches and staircases and penings and gardens…my buildings are nt nly pure and clear but designed t anticipate changes.”
Aside frm his mdern wrks, Dshi was devted t creating wrks t benefit the pr. He designed the Aranya Lw Cst Husing Prject in Indre. The phtgrapher Iwan Baan, wh phtgraphed sme f Dshi’s wrks, described the artist as “the mst apprachable architect I knw. Even very pr peple in his public husing prjects knew him, which is exceptinal.”

New wrds emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years mre new wrds and phrases are entering the language than ever befre, partly due t the increased willingness f lexicgraphers (词典编纂者) t include them in the dictinaries.
Jhn Alge wh studies the histry f language says, “As ur culture changes, the language changes. American culture is ging thrugh a time f rapid change.”
Technlgy is mving fast, which has a big effect n language. The cmputer wrld prduces hundreds f new wrds. New terms als cme frm business, medicine, and ther fields.
Many new English wrds cme frm ther languages. David Jst helps create the American Heritage Dictinary. “We cnstantly brrw wrds frm ther cultures,” he says. “This will g n frever in cultures.”
“Peple in many parts f the wrld speak English nw. That is anther reasn why s many new wrds are entering the language,” says Alge.
The American Dialect Sciety has a cntest each year. The sciety selects a “new wrd f the year”, which gains high level f ppularity n media fr sme days. Last year the winner was “infrmatin superhighway”, referring t a whle set f electrnic netwrk f infrmatin and peple getting access t this netwrk by cmputer.
New wrds ften cme in several frms, such as the back-frmatin (like enthuse frm enthusiasm), the clipping (like z frm zlgical garden), and the cmpunding, etc. Over time, ne frm tends t win ut. Take the cmpunding fr instance. “Dmestic partners” has been grwing ppular lately, even thugh many terms have been used t describe cuples wh live tgether but are nt married.
“A new wrd rarely can be traced t ne surce,” says Alge. “Several peple fend t create a new wrd when a need fr ne exists.”
“Mst new wrds have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive thrugh the next 100 years.
8. What might have least effect n English language?
A. Culture.
B. Technlgy.
C. Other languages.
D. Language cntests.
9. What des the writer want t demnstrate by mentining “dmestic partners”?

B New wrds ften cme in several frms.
C. Over time, ne frm tends t win ut.
D. A new wrd rarely can be traced t ne surce.
10. What can we learn frm the passage?

B. New wrds will becme ld r extinct.
C. Infrmatin technlgy helps the American Dialect Sciety.
D. American culture changes rapidly as well as English language.

Cancer-fighting genes in elephants culd help tackle ne f the biggest killers f peple, accrding t research. Despite their large bdies and lng lifespans, elephants are much less likely t die frm cancer than humans, with death rates f less than 5 percent.
The paradx has puzzled scientists because mre cells lead t greater replicatins (复制), which increases the pssibility f the bdy failing t detect damaged DNA r a faulty cell that can result in tumrs(肿瘤). Elephants live fr almst as lng as humans and weigh up t five tns.
Hwever, a grup f British and Eurpean scientists say they have taken a big step twards slving Pet’s paradx, named after the British epidemilgist Sir Richard Pet. Elephants, they say, carry a much larger mre diverse grup f tumr-fighting prteins.
The findings, published last week in the jurnal Mlecular Bilgy and Evlutin, raise hpes that the cancer fighting genes in elephants culd be the key t tackling cancer, which kills abut 167, 000 Britns yearly. Cells keep dividing thrughut an rganism’s life, each carrying the risk f prducing a tumr. One f the bdy’s weapns is a gene called p53 knwn as the “guardian f the genme”, which hunts cells with faulty DNA. It encurages the cell t repair itself r self-destruct, keeping the cell frm cmbining with thers and prducing tumrs.
Humans have tw versins f p53 but elephants have 40, said the researchers. Bichemical analysis and cmputer simulatins als shwed that an elephant’s p53 genes are structurally slightly different, prviding a much larger anti-cancer tlkit. The researchers suspect that while faulty cells might be able t skirt tw p53 versins, they cannt cmbine with ther cells as easily in the face f dzens.
The findings will pen the way fr research n hw p53 genes f elephants are activated and n medical treatment fr humans
12. What has puzzled scientists?
A. Few elephants end up dying frm cancer.B. Elephants live lng and weigh enrmusly.
C. Mre cells lead t higher chances f tumrs.D. A larger bdy is less likely t discver faulty cells.
13. What can be learnt frm Paragraph 4?
A. Hw many Britns die each year.B. Hw the anti-cancer gene wrks.
C. Hw the research was carried ut.D. What the findings have been applied t.
14. What des the underlined wrd “skirt” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Strengthen.B. Detect.C. Escaped.D. Cure.
15. Which is the text mainly abut?
A. Scientists find elephants live lnger than humans.B. P53 genes play essential rle in preventing cancer.
C. Elephant genes culd be key t fighting cancer.D. Grundbreaking treatment fr cancer is n the way.
