Listed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain
Built in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world.
It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers’ desired destination. The
beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies
and commercials.
The Louvre in Paris, France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world,
the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the
small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more
than a home to the “Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than
any other museum in the world.
The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, America
Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is
unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man’s private collection.
Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected,
among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself
is a beautiful palacelike structure with frescoes(湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and
walls. Viewers are bowled over(印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli, such as “The
Birth of Venus”. Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events
of the time.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have
superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really
matters in your life.
Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary
things to improve the world.
They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make
a difference in the lives of others.
We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your
lives are busy enough doing homework,playing sports, making friends, seeking after
your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote
some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue
you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money
to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the
opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?
Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last
twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who
we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest
people will improve in the years ahead.
24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Your life style.
B. Your life value.
C. Your trouble in life.
D. Your life experience.25. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?
A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.
B. They have got the power to change the world.
C. Some people around them are making the world better.
D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.
26. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?
A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.
B. Rising above self (超越自我)and acting to help others.
C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.
D. Trying your best to help the poor.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

C. The work on health is the most valuable experience.
D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.

Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming
nearsighted, new research suggests.
In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found
that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were
23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had
not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did
become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was
slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.
The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age
was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60minute class of outdoor
activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also
encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during
weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools,
continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the
intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the
kids in the other group.
It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children’s
eyesight, the researchers said. However, some researches have suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical
dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain(抑制)the type
of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.
Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more
time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, it’s
important to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.
28. What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?
A. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.
B. Continue to do their usual activities.
C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.
D. Participate in outdoor activities with parents.
29. What can be inferred about the chemical dopamine?
A. It can contribute to poor sight.
B. It can damage people’s brain.
C. It is beneficial to eyesight.
D. It means low levels of light intensity.
30.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. How to design outdoor activities for kids.
B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.
C. How to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light.
D. How to encourage adults to join in outdoor activities.
31.Which can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. The More Time Outdoors, the Better
B. Kids May See Better if They Play Outside
C. All Kids Should Join in Outdoor Activities
D. Researchers Found a Cure for Nearsightedness
D
Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the
office you are looking for. But then, as you’re standing there, a nearly silent balloon
floats (飘) over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tell it,
and then it simply says “follow me” like a child’s game, and begins to float off in the
direction of your destination. It keeps going, as you follow, leading you to where you
want to go. The guide works itself, without any help from any human being. It says hello to
people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then
guides them to the destination.
The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of
lift. Onboard is a wireless (无线的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer
that directs the fans and sensors (传感器) that let it know where objects are around it.
The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for
years, and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something
similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why
this little balloon might be the wave of the future — because it is so much easier to
follow!
32. The balloon is used to _____.
A. lead the way B. bring people joy
C. catch the thief D. welcome the visitors
33. The balloon gets to know its position with the help of _____.
A. sensors B. two tiny fans
C. a wireless receiver D. human beings
34. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the idea of the balloon is new
B. the balloon is difficult to make
C. the balloon will replace the iPhone soon
D. the technology may become popular in the future
35. The text is most probably from a _____.
A. science news report B. newspaper ad
C. book review D. science novel

Dear Jeff,
I am writing to reply to your email about the Chinese idiom story competition
which is intended for the foreigners you are going to participate in. It would be my great
pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet. Firstly, as there are a great
number of idioms to choose from, I recommend the most commonly used ones that
come from interesting stories. Besides, many idioms found roots in ancient myths or
historical facts. Thus, I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to learn
about their cultural history. In this way, your storytelling will be highly interesting and
impressive.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Could you please tell me
when and where you would like to meet? I look forward to further discussion with you.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
