"Glass House" at Tap Seac Square to Undergo Comprehensive Maintenance
A detailed inspection of the entire structure of the "Glass House" at Tap Seac Square has been completed.The Cultural Affairs Bureau （CAB） will now submit this building to a comprehensive maintenance treatment and aims to wrap up the entire initiative in the second quarter of 2014.With the goal of enabling cultural and creative entities to begin preparations for a move to the building，the Bureau plans to seek out cultural and creative organisations willing to invest in it and will solicit applications from them at the end of this year.
The five-storey Glass House at Tap Seac Square is a relatively large building for the district and considered an important facility for the revitalisation of the Tap Seac area and the St.Lazarus Parish.The Cultural Affairs Bureau plans to develop the Glass House into a flagship，multi-functional space for the cultural and creative industries of Macao.Local cultural and creative organisations are eligible to apply to move into the building.It is designed to house galleries，cultural and creative shops，bookstores，restaurants and other facilities，providing venues for exhibitions and workshops.The Bureau is striving to open the Glass House by the end of next year.
Upon taking over the Glass House，the Cultural Affairs Bureau immediately conducted a multi-phase inspection.Approximately one third of its internal space has a water leakage issue，which has not only damaged the electrical supply system but has affected operations on each floor.The basement，in particular，suffered from extensive water damage.To prevent any further deterioration due to water leaks，the Bureau implemented a temporary waterproofing measure last year.Meanwhile，the CAB also conducted a comprehensive inspection of the whole property，including the building's structure，electrical installations and ventilation and fire systems.
The inspection report indicates that the primary cause of the water leakage was long-term blockage and rupture of a majority of the drains.A portion of the electromechanical system and electrical installations had deteriorated and were no longer operational.In addition，some pipes had corroded and mould had begun to grow on the walls and ceiljye.aigs.In response to the inspection report，the Cultural Affairs Bureau is currently undertaking comprehensive maintenance work to tackle the existing problems in a series of phases and restore the building and its internal structures and systems to perfect and safe conditions.The CAB aims to complete the entire project by the second quarter of 2014.
In recent years，the policy of the S.A.R.Government has been to promote the development of local cultural and creative industries.The Cultural Affairs Bureau provides the public with cultural and creative initiatives and assists in the promotion and development of Macao's cultural and creative industries through the re-planning and re-use of existing spaces and resources.The Bureau will continue to co-operate with various other units and organisations to integrate the Region's usable spaces and resources，transforming them into a city-wide exhibition and sales platform for Macao's cultural and creative products.This will facilitate the establishment of the local cultural and creative industries' reputation，and create a cultural and creative atmosphere and social environment.

1．Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience，and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit（山頂） of Pacaya for a close-up view.There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua，giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua，a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week Festival.No matter when you come to Antigua，you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job，it is 2，560 metres high，and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one step forward and two-step back movements.As you climb，you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above.Steaming，hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit：the McKenney Cone（火山錐）.Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone，the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old，inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky.On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting.The active mouth boils，sending red lava over its sides，and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone.As evening turns deeper into the night，the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano.For you，too ，it is time to get down.

3．The sky is a large place，and though it has been carefully examined for centuries，new features still turn up.Last March it was the rule of Uranus（天王星），and last week astronomers announced what may turn out to be a new planet，though a very small one，in the solar system.
The object was first sighted last month by Charles Kowal，an astronomer at the Hale Observatories in Pasadena，Calif.Mr Kowal observed a faint trail of light on photographic plates，indicating that something was moving in relation to the background of stars.Other observers have confirmed the discovery.
The "mini-planet"，identified for the time being as "Object-Kowal"，appears to be about 1.5 billion miles away，between the orbit of Saturn and Uranus，and its diameter（直徑）has been estimated at between 100 and 400 miles.Its orbit has not been determined yet，but if the orbit proves to be roughly circular，like that of the major planets，the new object would probably take 66 to 70 years to make a circuit of the sun.
Some astronomers have speculated that Mr Kowal's discovery may be the first indication of an asteroid（小行星）belt beyond Saturn.
（1）What may have been found in the solar system according to the first paragraph？
A．A small new planet.
B．A new solar system.
C．A large new object.
D．A large new planet.
（2）What can we learn from the second paragraph？
A．What the object is like.
B．How the object was found.
C．Where the astronomers live.
D．Why the object was moving.
（3）What magazine might this passage be taken from？
A．Astronomy.
B．Industry.
C．Spaceflight.
D．Agriculture.發(fā)布：2024/12/4 17:30:2組卷：22引用：2難度：0.7
