Inspired by his mentor Louis Sullivan，an influential figure in the world of modernist
architecture，Frank Lloyd Wright coined the term “organic architecture” around
1908.
Rather than imitating nature or organic elements within the natural world，organic
architecture is more concerned with re-interpretation of nature and harmony between
the organic and the built environment.It ensures that the individual elements within
buildings are put together to reflect the order within nature.Here are 4 of the most
striking examples.
Casa Milà
Location：Barcelona，Spain
Year of completion：1910
Architect：Antoni Gaudi
Considered the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism，Antoni Gaudi was devoted
to nature and the Catholic religion.While he originally intended this organic building
to have a religious purpose，it is now an apartment building.True to the organic
style，it features the shape of honeycomb that seemingly emerges from the earth.
Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
Location：Singapore
Year of completion：2015
Architect：Thomas Heatherwick
Earning the nicknames “dim sum basket building” and “the Hive”，the Learning Hub
consists of 12 eight-storey towers arranged around a public atrium.The organic nature
of the building extends to its interior with features like gardens that are intended toencourage social interactions and study among students.
Falling Water
Location：Mill Run，Pennsylvania
Year of completion：1939
Architect：Frank Lloyd Wright
A classic of modernism and organic architecture，Falling Water sits on top of a
waterfall.Frank Lloyd Wright designed it for the Kaufmann family who—though they
had originally hoped for a view of the waterfall—came to love the home.
East Beach Café
Location：Littlehampton，UK
Year of completion：2007
Architect：Thomas Heatherwick
Located in a seaside area with an industrial history，East Beach Café resembles (像)
a piece of driftwood.Forty meters long，seven meters wide and five meters high，it
initially polarised locals ， but has since been well-received by the whole
community.It was the first building for Thomas Heatherwick who previously was
better known as a sculptor.

“I saw it first，” Amy said，as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s
hands.Without saying a word，as if they both understood that this was a secret they
didn’t want to share with anyone，they slipped into the alley，where no one could
see them look inside.
“There’s got to be a million dollars here！”Charlie blurted out，when they saw the
pile of hundred-dollar bills.Amy ， the more realistic of the two ， did a quick
estimate，thumbing through the wad of cash.“More like thousands，” she said，
her voice shaking in disbelief.
They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk，when Charlie dropped his
cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same
time.Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow
toward her house.As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue，they talked excitedly about
what they could do with the money—buy gifts for parents and friends，get new
clothes，travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica，and adopt a whale.It looked like all of
their dreams would come true.For the last block，however，they didn’t talk.Each
began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could
buy.
They finally reached Amy’s house，but instead of going inside，they walked around
the house to the back porch.They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles
of ten.The total was $2，400—more money than either of them had ever seen.Then
they both started talking at once，“I wonder who lost it.” Their moods shifted，
sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what
they must do next.For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment，there was a driver’s
license.They knew what they had to do.Although they would lose their newly-found
treasure，in a way，they felt relieved.4.Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?
A.In an alley.
B.In a backpack.
C.Among some flowers.

B.She was disappointed there wasn’t a million dollars.
C.She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.
D.She felt nervous because she’d never seen so much money.
6.On their way to Amy’s house，the children’s moods changed from ________.
A.excited to suspicious
B.happy to angry
C.relieved to worried
D.nervous to disappointed
7.What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
A.To keep the money a secret from others.
B.To return the wallet to its rightful owner.
C.To put the wallet back where they found it.
D.To buy many different things with the money.

Scrubbing your hands with soap and water washes away germs (细菌).But the hot-air
hand dryers found in many public restrooms seem to spray microbes (微生物)right
back onto clean skin.That’s what 16-year-old Zita Nguyen found by testing people’s
freshly washed and dried hands.
She showcased her findings this week at the Regeneron International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF).Held in Dallas，Texas，this competition is a program of the
Society for Science.
Toilets in public restrooms seldom have lids.So flushing them sprays the germs frombody waste into the air.That same air is drawn into those electric hand dryers.These
machines provide a nice warm home in which microbes can grow ， Zita
says.Cleaning the inside of these machines can be difficult，she adds.
The teen had four people wash and dry their hands in restrooms at a mall and a gas
station.The participants scrubbed with soap and water.After each washing，they dried
their hands using one of three different methods.In some trials，they simply used
paper towels.In the others，they used an electric hand dryer.Sometimes，they held
their hands close to the machine，about 13 centimeters below it.Other times，they
held their hands about 30 centimeters below the dryer.Each hand-drying condition
was performed 20 times.
Right after this drying，Zita swabbed (用拭子擦) their hands for germs.Then she
rubbed the swabs onto petri dishes filled with nutrients that would fuel a microbe’s
growth.She housed these dishes in an incubator (细菌培养器) for three days.
Fewer than 50 colonies of microbes，on average，turned up in each dish exposed to
swabs from hands dried with paper towels or from hands held farther from the electric
dryers.In contrast，more than 130 colonies，on average，grew in petri dishes from
hands held close to the hot-air dryers.
At first，Zita was amazed by all the microbes in these dishes.Quickly，however，
she realized they represented what covered people’s hands after using a hot-air
dryer.“This is disgusting ， ” she now says.“I’m never going to use these
machines again！”
8.What is the main function of the first paragraph?
A.To provide background information.
B.To summarize Zita’s findings.
C.To call for action.
D.To explain a rule.
9.Which of the following does NOT play a role in the phenomenon Zita discovered?
A.Public toilets often lack lids.
B.Hand dryers are warm.
C.People often forget to wash their hands.D.The inside of hand dryers is hard to clean.
10.What did Zita do as part of the experiment?
A.She analysed existing data.
B.She tested hundreds of people.
C.She visited many locations.
D.She compared different methods.
11.What is Zita’s attitude to electric dryers now?
A.Negative. B.Uncertain.
C.Supportive. D.Interested.

How to Manage Conflict
·Use neutral(中立的)language.
Neutral language keeps the discussion objective and nonjudgmental.Inflammatory(煽
动性的)language only makes the conflict worse.__1__ Rephrase negative statements
into neutral comments and ask sincere questions to get your coworker’s side of the
story and use a calm，even tone of voice.
·Reflect on the situation.
Show all parties that you hear and understand their concerns.Often，conflict comes
from one party feeling as though they’re not being heard or understood.Take time
throughout your conversation to restate what the other person says.__2__
·Work together to compromise(妥协)and find a solution.
__3__ Resolve the conflict by working together and brainstorming solutions to the
conflict that addresses everyone’s concerns.Write down your ideas and see if there’s
one solution that both of you find fair and reasonable.A good resolution usually
involves compromise—meeting half way so that you both leave satisfied.
·Make a resolution plan.
A plan defines each party’s responsibilities and prevents more conflict.After finding a
solution everyone can agree on，sit down together and figure out what you’ll all do to
resolve the conflict.__4__What other practices might help avoid future conflict andmaintain positive communication? Ensure everyone involved cooperates on the win-
win solution.
·Pick your battles.
Not all conflicts are worth holding onto at the cost of your energy.Some issues can’t
be solved to the satisfaction of both parties，especially if one person rejects any
negotiation.In those cases，ask yourself how much the issue at the core of the conflict
matters to you.Are you willing to give in or keep dialoguing to reach a different
resolution？__5__If you decide the conflict isn’t worth your energy，give the other
person a simple concession.
A.Is this conflict worth your time and energy?
B.How will the immediate problem be fixed?
C.Giving in doesn’t mean saying，“You’re right，and I’m wrong.”
D.This will help you clarify your understanding of the situation.
E.Focus on finding a solution rather than determining who is “right”.
F.Cooperation encourages everyone to stop blaming each other.
G.Instead，keep the discussion less emotional by using objective language.

Hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) 完成于2015年；Falling Water完
成于1939年；East Beach Café完成于2007年。故Casa Milà的历史最悠久。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据 East Beach Café 部分中“Forty meters long，seven
meters wide...by the whole community.”可知，它最初让当地人两极分化，但后来受到了整个社区的欢迎，故可知起初并不是所有的当地人都接受 East Beach
Café。]
3.B [文章出处题。根据第二段内容并结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了有
机建筑，关注有机环境与建筑环境中人与自然的和谐，并列举了四座著名的建
筑来说明，可推知“建筑文摘”可能是本文的来源。]
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了 Amy和Charlie在花坛里发现了一
个有几千美元的钱包，两人把钱包拿走，畅想利用这笔钱做什么，后来两人还
是决定把钱包还给失主，让自己放下心理负担。
4.C [细节理解题。根据第三段中“They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the
sidewalk”可知，Amy和Charlie在一些花中间发现了这个钱包。]
5.D [推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘More like thousands，’ she said，her
voice shaking in disbelief.”可知，Amy不敢相信钱包里有这么多钱。由此推知，
从未见过这么多钱的她会感到紧张，声音颤抖。]
6.A [细节理解题。根据第三段中“As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue，they
talked excitedly about...and adopt a whale.”和“For the last block，however，they
didn’t talk...the list of things they could buy.”可知，在回Amy家的路上，两人先是非常兴奋，开心地想象利用这笔钱可以做什么，后来变得沉默，猜疑对方偷
偷地想买更多的东西，因此两个孩子的情绪是由兴奋变成怀疑。]
7.B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “For in the wallet’s clear plastic
compartment...lose their newly-found treasure，in a way，they felt relieved.”可推
知，Amy和Charlie打算放弃这笔财富，根据钱包里驾驶执照的信息将钱包返还
给失主，让自己放下心理负担。]
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了16岁的 Zita Nguyen 通过测试
发现，公共厕所的热风烘干机会把微生物直接喷回在刚洗干净的手上。
8.B [写作意图题。根据第一段中“But the hot-air hand dryers...what 16-year-old
Zita Nguyen found by testing people’s freshly washed and dried hands.”和第二段中
“She showcased her findings this week at the Regeneron International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF).”可推知，第一段主要是为了总结Zita的发现。]
9.C [细节理解题。根据第三段“Toilets in public restrooms seldom have
lids...Cleaning the inside of these machines can be difficult，she adds.”可知，公共
厕所很少有盖子，烘干机是温暖的，清洗烘干机内部很困难，导致用烘干机烘
干手时会将细菌带到手上，C项“人们经常忘记洗手”不是其中一个原因。]10.D [细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Right after this drying，Zita swabbed (用
拭子擦)their hands for germs...in an incubator(细菌培养器)for three days.”和第四
段提到“After each washing，they dried their hands using one of three different
methods.”提到参与者用不同的方法烘干手可知，在实验中，Zita比较了不同的
方法。]
11.A [观点态度题。根据最后一段中“‘This is disgusting，’ she now
says.‘I’m never going to use these machines again！’”可推知，现在 Zita对烘
干机的态度是消极的。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章针对如何应对矛盾冲突给出了几点建议。
1.G [根据上文“中立的语言使讨论保持客观和非评判性。”可知，此处说的
是使用客观的语言来减少情绪化，与 G项“相反，通过使用客观的语言来减少
讨论的情绪化。”表达的含义一致。]
2.D [根据上文“通常，冲突来自一方感觉他们不被倾听或理解。在谈话中，
