30、f the worlds largest buildingsThe worlds biggest parliamentary building, Palace of Parliament, happens to be in Bucharest. Hourlong guided tours manage to take in just a fraction of the buildings threemillionplus square feet(there are more than a thousand rooms) and focus on the tons of marble, hard
31、wood, and gold used in the buildings construction in the 1980s, a time when Romania was trying to feed its own people. Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, both played a direct role in the construction. It was originally intended to house the presidential offices and the Central Committee of the Romanian
32、Communist Party but was never finished.See remains of old “Paris”“Paris of the East” was Bucharests nickname in the decades before World War . Decades of communist misrule and a tragic earthquake in 1977 brought much of the old city down, but there are places here and there where that former eleganc
33、e can still be glimpsed. The Cismigiu Gardens in the center of the city is a pearl of park built around a romantic lake and featuring oldgrowth trees and gracious, wroughtiron signposts and benches.Learn about Romanias rootsWalking through Bucharests busy streets, its easy to forget that outside the
34、 capital and a handful of large cities, Romania is a largely agricultural country, with a long and rich peasant tradition. The amazing Museum of the Romanian Peasant shows off the elaborate woodworking, potterymaking, eggpainting, and weaving skills of the peasantry in a way thats both educational a
35、nd amusing. Small tongueincheek signs at the entrance to each room poke fun at modern life, bring a chuckle, and draw you in. Downstairs 8theres a side exhibition on the Communists efforts to nationalize the peasantry in the 1970s and 1980s.Appreciate 21stcentury artRomania has exploded onto the con
36、temporary art scene in recent years. The excitement was generated initially by a group of young painters and visual artists from the northern city of ClujNapoca, but at least some of the action has shifted to the capital as new galleries and design centers open up. Its hard to pinpoint precisely wha
37、t constitutes Romanian contemporary art, though critics point to shared elements of wit and dark humor, a somber mood, and bits of surrealism in defining a common style.( )56. Tourists to Bucharest can do the following things EXCEPT _A. admiring beautiful scenery of a parkB. appreciating its unique
38、contemporary artC. learning about the agricultural development in RomaniaD. seeing the old city of Bucharest that has been wellpreserved( )57. It can be inferred from the passage that _A. Ceausescu and Elena were two famous architectsB. Romanians might have suffered a lot during the 1970s and 1980sC
39、. Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is the largest building in the worldD. Romanians 21stcentury art originated from the capital city BucharestBIn 2016, designer Liz Ciokajlo received a task from the Museum of Modern Art(Moma) in New York: revisit the Moon Boot, a fluffylooking snowshoe inspired by
40、the footwear used by the Apollo astronauts.Launched in 1972 at the height of the lunar missions, the Moon Boot is an icon of the 20th Centurys “plastic age” and the museum administrators wanted a new take on it.Ciokajlo set out to reimagine it. She knew only a biomaterial would work in a “postplasti
41、c age”, but the designer also wanted a new destination to 9inspire it. Our generations space travel obsession is not the Moon, she thought, but the red planetMars. And Mars allows you to really think outside of the box.The task led her to an amazing biomaterial that had already attracted the attenti
42、on of engineers innovating in building materials and of top space agencies like NASA and ESA. Her final design, a tall, female, roughlooking boot, can be made on board a spaceship with almost only human sweat and a few fungus spores(真菌孢子), ideal for a sevenmonth trip to Mars with limited checkin lug
43、gage. This magic biomaterial is mycelium(菌丝体), the vegetative part of the fungus. It looks like a mass of white threadlike structures, each called hyphae. Collectively, these threads are called mycelium and are the largest part of the fungus.Mycelium has amazing properties. It is a great recycler, a
44、s it feeds off a substrate to create more material, and has the potential of almost limitless growth in the right conditions. It can endure more pressure than conventional concrete without breaking. It is a known insulator and fireretardant and could even provide radiation protection on space missio
45、ns.On Earth its currently used to create ceiling panels, leather, packaging materials and building materials, but in outer space it stands out for its architectural potential, says artist and engineer Maurizio Montalti, who has teamed up with Ciokajlo.For her revisited boot, Ciokajlo wanted to use t
46、he human body as the source for some of the building materials and decided to employ sweat. Reusing sweat is not entirely new in space exploration but a novelty approach for footwear. She thinks it might make astronauts feel closer to home during the long journey to Mars.The design is still hypothet
47、ical, because the real boot submitted for Momaand currently in display at the London Design Museumdid use mycelium but not human sweat, as their deadline was too tight, but the science checks 10out.( )58. The sentences “Mars has always been a place where you can dream. It is a place where you can re
48、imagine how to live on Earth. Ciokajlo says.” should be put _A. between Para.1 and Para.2 B. between Para.2 and Para.3C. between Para.3 and Para.4 D. between Para.4 and Para.5( )59. According to the passage, which of the following doesnt belong to the characteristics of mycelium?A. It can be recyclable.B. It can protect people from radiation.C. It can grow without limit whatever the condition.D. Compared with conventional concrete, it can endure more pressure.( )60. Which of the follow
