The architectural core of Buckingham Palace is the former Buckingham House，built in 1703. You can visit the state rooms from August

11、 to October when the Queen is on holiday. It is one of the worlds most familiar buildings. It has 775 rooms. During the summer the famous Changing of the Guards takes place at the front of the palace at 11:30 and is a popular event for visitors to the capital.Big Ben and Westminster PalaceIt is one

12、of Londons best-known landmarks. Big Ben is the name of the clock inside the Clock Tower. It lies at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament. Westminster Palace is one of the largest parliaments in the world. It was built between 1840 and 1880.The Tower of LondonThe Tower of London is a hi

13、storical monument in Central London on the north bank of the river Thames. It was founded by William the Conqueror. It was a palace and a prison (for Queen Elizabeth I for example).There you can see strange guards called “the Beefeaters”. Since the beginning of the 14th century, the Tower of London

17、 in fact the octopus (章魚).Octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and seas-areas which are not attractive to researchers. They are not social animals so it can be hard to study their interaction with others. And the octopus intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. When we obse

18、rve some animals such as rats or dogs, we can often understand their behavior. Octopuses，however can seem like aliens (外星人). Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to understand what an octopus is thinking!In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their

19、 brains. They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers. However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no significance to continue with it. Octopuses have a very complex nervous system and recent research suggests that they have some of their

20、 intelligence inside each arm, which means that each arm can “think” for itself. It also appears that they have a good memory, perhaps similar to a cats.Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their color and body pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves to a

21、void their enemies and also to communicate with others. They can completely change their appearance in less than a second. It can change its skin to look like rocks, sand or planktron (浮游生物).Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colors are in fact a very hard language

25、understand them.CIn the shadow of Kenyas Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (莊園). Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of mornin

26、g treats. The manors owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes

27、 at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor bedrooms.Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were childr

28、en. We are both third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikeys family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural

29、living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying

30、in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.28.

35、 houses. They also have advanced ventilation (通風) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the building dont go beyond 25 for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to generate (產(chǎn)生) the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding east-or west

36、-facing windows, and window shading.And theyre in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游說)by house bui

37、lders,” Ian explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UKs housing shortage so that the normal rules of supply and demand dont apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what i

38、s available rather than what they might want.”In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively encourage zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of be

39、drooms, garden sizes, and parking places. These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic consequences of climate change.32.

Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.B. Purchase more land to stop climate change.C. Build more ho

41、uses powered by the sun.D. Make it more difficult to buy houses.35. Whats the authors attitude to the Governments planning system?A. Satisfied. B. Disapproving. C. Worried.D.
