Someone told me that in Melbourne you can sample the cuisines of seventy-five differ- ent countries;I haven't managed to eat my way through them all,but it's a wonderful challenge.And besides the top-class restaurants,you mustn't miss Melbourne's cafe cul- ture and wonderful beach side places at St Kilda. If you enjoy your food,you will love exploring local produce markets.One I really like is the Queen Victoria Market on the corner of Victoria and Elizabeth Streets,which sells a huge variety of fruit and vegetables. My friend joined me for my most recent trip home.It was fun showing him all the fa- miliar landmarks,but also going to places I've never been before.From Melbourne,we took the Great Ocean Road,a 150-mile highway that is a scenic delight.We passed through an area that includes the world-famous Twelve Apostles,the Otways rainforest and Bells Beach along with resort(度假胜地)towns such as Torquay and Apollo Bay. We've still got a pretty extensive "to do"list,including a trip to Queensland and the Barrier Reef.And although I've been to Hayman Island a couple of times,I'd like to get to know some of the more special resort islands that can be reached only by private boat or helicopter. The flight to Australia is a long one but perfectly comfortable if you follow a routine like mine.I get on board and immediately change into my flight pyjamas()-one day I'm going to work out how to accessorise them with fashion items,but until then I just look like someone wearing pyjamas! I just love to travel.It's an Aussie thing:as a people we are up for jumping on a plane and going off to explore.I can't wait to see where I'll go next. 4.What does the author think is "a wonderful challenge"? A.Tasting all the foods of different countries in Melbourne. B.Eating at all Melbourne's top-class restaurants. C.Travelling to other countries like an Australian. D.Exploring Australia's produce markets. 5.What could the author's friend see when he took the Great Ocean Road? A.Torquay and Hayman Island. B.Bells Beach and Twelve Apostles. C.The Barrier Reef and Otways rainforest. D.Queen Victoria Market and Apollo Bay. 6.What does the author hope to do? A.Find more rainforests. B.Buy a private boat. C.Go to Hayman Island again D.Journey to Queensland. 7.What does the author suggest doing when taking a long flight? A.Wearing pyjamas. B.Having fresh fruits. C.Making fashion accessories. D.Sleeping all the way through. Architects have long turned to the past for inspiration.In this age of concrete and steel,however,they're more likely to look for aesthetic(influence than technical know-how.But an ancient Chinese construction technique called dougong is a remarkable exception. 英语10-2 Consisting of a series of wooden brackets()with no nails or fasteners,it's over 2,500 years old and commonly found in Chinese architecture,such as Beijing's Forbidden City.Many structures built during the Tang and Song dynasties featured "curtain walls" which were non-load-bearing.As a result,the unsupported wood shouldering the weight might break.Designers needed a technique which would more evenly spread the burden across their structures.Their solution was dougong. Engineering has come a long way since the ancient Chinese building technique was in fashion.But there's a timeless quality to it.Modern-day designers in many areas are adop- ting it to produce amazing and stable work of architecture.Among them is Japanese archi- tect Kengo Kuma,who used dougong-inspired methods for his recent buildings:Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum and Cafe Kureon,a 2,120-square-foot restaurant. For architect Terrence Curry,the attraction of using ancient methods is about finding something that can"speak to Chinese identity".His structure Dougong Cube,now part of the School of Architecture,Tsinghua University in Beijing,was constructed using classi- cal-style brackets and over 2,000 boards."It has fundamental structures of dougong,but we just aren't using it in the way it was intended to be used.We're really pulling it out- emphasizing its beauty and complexity,and the way it works,"said Curry."The shape and function of dougong is directly related to properties of wood,and the ability of people who make these buildings.In this way,there's little need for decoration because the struc- ture and design give it its distinctive look." 8.Why is dougong considered an exception? A.It has existed for a very long time. B.It keeps stable with no concrete or steel. C.It was ignored by architects in the past. D.It meets both structural and decorative needs. 9.What was the function of dougong in ancient times? A.To beautify the structures. B.To avoid nails and fasteners. C.To distribute weight of buildings. D.To replace unstable curtain walls. 10.What does the author want to show by mentioning Kengo Kuma's buildings? A.Dougong holds lasting appeal. B.Dougong makes for great buildings. C.Dougong deserves wide recognition.D.Dougong plays a big role in engineering. 11.What can be learned about Dougong Cube? A.It aims to explore Chinese identity. B.It's more complex than common structures. C.It reproduces traditional use of dougong. D.It's a combination of tradition and innovation.
