I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.

He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.

The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.

During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.

Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).

3 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Sometimes, nature has a way of throwing the unexpected at you, even when you thought you have seen everything. If you go to Gansu, China, you'll see such     1     example.

    2     (locate) at the northern foothills of Qilian Mountains, Rainbow Mountains (Zhangye National Geopark) is so called because it contains a sight unique     3     that part of the world. Or to put it another way, hardly can you find one elsewhere in the world, as the impressive mountains,     4     (stand) over 100 meters tall in places, have somehow been covered with spray-paints of different colors.

Zhangye is the nearest city to Rainbow Mountains, and you can either choose a guided tour, or     5     (simple) travel by car to the area, only around a 20-mile drive. You’ll have three areas to choose from—the Linze Danxi a Scenic Area, which makes up the bulk of the park; Binggou, where the formations tend to be like melting ice     6     (sculpture); and Sunan Danxia Scenic Area, which is less crowded than the other two but has fewer fully built roads, so you'd better go there under the     7     (guide) of the local people.

The best time of the year     8     ( visit) is between June and September, when the mild weather should make walking comfortable, and it     9     (recommend) to visit at either sunrise or sunset when the colors are at their most bright and changeable. This iconic attraction is the one     10     stands in awe-inspiring and unforgettable scenes.

4 . With office developers competing for space and height—just to make a statement, the age of the iconic office building is upon us. Let’s start by exploring what “iconic” actually means.

Google the word “iconic” and the definitions include something that is “famous”, “popular” or representative of “particular opinions or a particular time”. The term can also be applied to something that is representative of something else—for instance, the Eiffel Tower is a symbol of Paris.

In architecture, an iconic design is usually a design that is “ground breaking” and one that sets new standards in its field. It is a design that other designers and manufacturers follow, as it becomes a bench mark for other similar products. Furthermore, an iconic design is one that stands up to the test of time, remaining a good design, despite the passing of years, decades and even centuries.

Lord Norman Foster has certainly had a say in the rise of these distinctive structures over the past 15 years. His architectural firm Foster & Partners designed the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe), whose completion in 2001 sparked the birth of London’s new skyline, taking over the previous one—Britannic Tower. Lord Foster also led the redesign of Wembley Stadium and the Millennium Bridge—globally recognized structures in their own right.

Unusually shaped structures have been around since the Pyramids, but before computers, architectural designs were hand drawn and, consequently, landmark buildings were much more conventional in their nature. Since then, digital technology has moved forward at such a rate that it has pushed us into a new era of architectural innovation.

Whatever your views on these high-rise developments, they have turned the London skyline into an exciting, ever-changing landscape and, in the process, redefined the concept of an iconic building. But we will still be talking about them a century from now—as we do the Empire State Building — or will another new wave of office blocks simply take their place?

1. What is the feature of an iconic architecture?

A．It is always changing.	B．It needs constant testing.
C．It has pioneering and distinctive designs.	D．It follows the standards that were set earlier.

2. What promoted the development of architectural innovation?

A．Digital technology.	B．Architectural theory.
C．Curiosity about pyramids.	D．Accidental moves by talented designers.

3. What does the underlined word “sparked” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Got rid of.

B．Brought about.

C．Gave way to.

D．Conflicted with.

4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the iconic office buildings in London?

A．Positive.

B．Negative.

C．Concerned.

D．Pessimistic.
