The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D.， the Romans built theColosseum， which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s
Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances， seating 50，000 people. However， that was small fry compared withthe city’s Circus Maximus， which accommodated around 250，000 people.
These days， safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each； gone are the days ofthousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world， we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far， which ranks them bytheir stated permanent capacity， as well as updated information from official stadium websites. All these stadiums are still functiona1， still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. ·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity： 150，000. Opened： May 1，1989. ·Michigan Stadium， Ann Arbor， Michigan， U. S. Capacity： 107，601. Opened： October 1， 1927.
·Beaver Stadium， State College， Pennsylvania， U. S. Capacity： 106，572. Opened： September 17， 1960. ·Ohio Stadium， Columbus， Ohio， U. S. Capacity： 104，944. Opened： October 7，1922. ·Kyle Field， College Station， Texas， U. S. Capacity： 102，512. Opened： September 24， 1927. 21. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold？
A. 104，944. B. 107，601. C. About 150，000. D. About 250，000. 22. Of the following stadiums， which is the oldest？
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field. 23. What do the listed stadiums have in common？
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions. C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects. B
When almost everyone has a mobile phone， why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）？
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. Infact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere， anytime. Still， 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter （29%） rely only on theirsmartphones according to a survey （调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline， a third concede that it’s notreally necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor（因素）—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then， compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’veperhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor； I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup ofyour household.
Generation Xers with young families， like my wife and I， can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather thanproviding a mobile phone for every family member. That said， to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phoneare our Baby Boomers parents， to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up thephone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.
How attached are you to your landline？ How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milkdeliveries？
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones？ A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity. C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean？ A. Admit. B. Argue. C. Remember. D. Remark.
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers？
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity. C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family. 27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph？ A. It remains a family necessity. B. It will fall out of use some day. C. It may increase daily expenses. D. It is as important as the gas light. C
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems everyyear. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？ Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage， forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plasticproducts.
At the beginning of the year， the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse，” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，
frozen mid-crash. Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups， the sculpture made itsfirst appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City， Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic
pollution， but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and， because of theirsmall size and weight， they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink thatsomeone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone， the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018， Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明） a specific statistic： Every 60 seconds， a truckload’sworth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work， titled “Truckload of Plastic，” Von Wong and a group of volunteers
collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic， which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒） froma truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint. 28. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for？
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the beach. 29. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？ A. To show the difficulty of their recycling. B. To explain why they are useful. C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.
30. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers？ A. Calming. B. Disturbing. C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures D
During an interview for one of my books， my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level ofdistraction（⼲扰）in his open office， he said， “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across thestreet — so I can focus”. His comment struck me as strange. After all， coworking spaces also typically use an open officelayout（布局）. But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. Theywere randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background， from total silence to 50decibels（分贝）， 70 decibels， and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically
insignificant； however， the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to backgroundchatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small， this may suggest thatour creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant， the study also suggests that the right level of background noise —not too loud and not total silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noisemay interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander， without making it impossibleto focus. This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices？ The problem may be that， in our offices， we can’t stop ourselvesfrom getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed， the researchers found that face-to-faceinteractions and conversations affect the creative process， and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certainlevel of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions. 32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space？ A. It helps him concentrate. B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere. D. It encourages face-to-face interactions. 33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability？ A. Total silence. B. 50 decibels C. 70 decibels. D. 8 5 decibels. 34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people？ A. Personal privacy unprotected. B. Limited working space. C. Restrictions on group discussion. D. Constant interruptions. 35. What can we infer about the author from the text？ A. He’s a news reporter. B. He’s an office manager. C. He’s a professional designer. D. He’s a published writer.
