Visiting Leaning Tower of Pisa
The City Of Pisa
The city of Pisa is a small city of about 90,000 people located about 83 km (51 miles)
west of Florence. and the beach resorts of the Tuscany coast are to the west of Pisa.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous structures in the world and for the

Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in the Piazza dei Miracoli just north of the city

warded with the full and wide views over Pisa from the top.

and ticket offices. There is also a left luggage facility.
Leaning Tower of Pisa Tickets

We all have our own summer traditions. In 1939. for my thirteen-year-old great-grand-
mother Toby, summertime meant going to the Muny Theatre. Every summer ,The Muny
would present live professional musicals that were sponsored so that even the low-income peo-
ple could see them. Every summer Sunday, Toby and her friend Sylvia had a standing date to
watch a Broadway at America's oldest outdoor musical theater.
After lunch, Toby packed herself a peanut-butter sandwich for dinner and threw some
change into her pocket for ice cream. and headed to Sylvia's house so that they could walk to-
gether to Forest Park. An hour later. they arrived at the air-conditioned Missouri History
Museum. where they could cool off a little during the hottest part of the afternoon. Toby and
Sylvia's favorite part of the museum was the antique dress show. After a quick stop, they
jumped to the Muny Theatre.
Most of the time they would get to the theater early, before the gate opened for audi-
ences. Instead of waiting for the gate to open, Toby and Sylvia would climb over the back
fence and run straight to their favorite seats in the front center row of the "free seats" section.
Toby loved everything about these breathtaking musicals-from the actors and actresses to
their costumes. But Toby's favorite parts were the joyful music and dancing, and the ice
cream she bought.
The theater was really something special to my great-grand-mother. and that love hasn't
left my family. My grandmother took theater lessons as a child instead of dance classes like
her friends did. My mom and all her siblings (兄弟姊妹) acted in plays when young. My aunt
starts a children's theater company in New Jersey, and my mom runs a performing arts camp
in Pennsylvania.
I am lucky that theater and music are such a big part of my life, and I am so grateful to
the continuing influence of my great-grandmother.
4. What made the poor able to enjoy musicals at the Muny Theatre7
A. Being an outdoor theatre.
B. The affordable ticket price.
C. The badly equipped facility.
D. Being sponsored by government.
5. Why did the girls always stop at the Missouri History Museum?
A. To participate in the antique dress show.

6. Why did the girls enter the theatre before its opening?
A. To take a close look at the actors.
B. To get free food.
C. To get the front seats.
D. To enjoy the musicals they preferred.

A. The writer's mother. B. The writer's aunt.
C. The writer's brother. D. The writer herself.

Children and young adults who are hooked on computer games seriously will be offered
help and care by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) following the launch of the
country's first specialist clinic. The service will treat children and young adults aged 13-25.
Concerns surrounding the length of time children and teenagers are spending online pla-
ying games are growing, specifically the effect it can have on a young person s mental health.
Gaming addiction for children and young adults is now officially recognized as a medical condi-
tion after the World Health Organisation (WHO) included it in their International Classifica-
tion of Diseases. NHS chief executive Simon Stevens said in a meeting: "Health needs are
constantly changing, which is why the NHS must take actions-this new service is a response
to a new problem, part of the increasing pressures that children and young people are exposed
to these days. "
Fiona Smith, a professor at the NHS said. "As technology becomes more accessible and
more advanced. it's unsurprising that more and more young people are possibly being serious-
ly affected by excessive screen time to the point where it affects their daily lives. The damage
of addiction of any kind goes beyond the child or young person, causing suffering to parents,
families and friends. "
Many have welcomed the project, because it focused more on the problems of excessive
use of video games. bad mental health and highly irregular lifestyles. The plan has also been
met with doubt. with some experts saying that the NHS and taxpayers should not be expected
to pick up the pieces of this problem. Gaming companies have a responsibility to their users
and should do more to prevent harmful behaviour. instead of promoting it. Online gaming
firms make millions of pounds in profit. They should be responsible for the financial cost of
treating gaming addiction.
While gaming disorder could be a big problem for a small minority of gamers. there is a
fear of concerned parents rushing to the conclusion that their children play "too much" and
that this is harmful for their mental health. So further research and a deeper understanding of
these problems are required.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Most online playing gamers are young children and teenagers.
B. NHS was set up to deal with children's game addiction.
C. People are increasingly worried about teenagers game addiction.
D. The kids' increasing pressures come totally from game addiction.
9. What is Fiona Smith's attitude towards the amount of screen time by teenagers?
A. Indifferent. B. Unfavorable. C. Moderate. D. Supportive.
10. Who should pay for the costs of treating gaming addiction in some experts' opinion?
A. NHS. B. The Government.
C. Online gaming companies. D. People playing games.
11. What will be the focus on researchers' next work according to the text?
A. Reasons why people like playing games.
B. Identifying who should get help from NHS.
C. The kinds of gaming disorder.
D. The games' effect on mental health.

An egg in a much bigger bottle isn't very interesting, but the science behind how a little
bigger egg got into a bottle is and seems impossible. This experiment shows the effects of air
pressure and partial vacuums (部分真空状态).
To create the vacuum, simply drop a burning piece of paper into the glass bottle. which
will heat up the air in the bottle causing some air molecules (分子) to move out. Then the egg
is put into the neck of the bottle and then the fire will go out due to a lack of oxygen. Once the
air cools down again in the bottle. the outside air is at a higher pressure compared to the pres-
sure inside the bottle. The inside air molecules will bunch up, because they no longer have
enough energy to stay as far apart and this causes a partial vacuum.
The steps of the experiment are as follows. Remove the shell off of the boiled egg. Then
put water around the neck of the bottle and also wet the egg. This will allow the egg to slide
into the bottle easily and the water will help to create a seal (密封状态) around the neck of the
bottle so that air cannot flow into the bottle. allowing the partial vacuum to be created. Now
light a piece of paper and put the burning paper into the bottle. Then place the egg in the neck
of the bottle and wait for it to get pushed into the bottle.
Now that you have an egg in a bottle you're probably wondering how to get the egg out of
the bottle. It is also possible using the same principles. Only this time you have to raise the
pressure inside the bottle. This can be done by blowing into the bottle while the egg is sitting
in the opening of the bottle. Then when you stop blowing, the egg will fall into place covering
the opening of the bottle and the high pressure in the bottle forces the egg out of the bottle.
12. What is a must to ensure the success of the experiment?
A. A boiled egg with a very hard shell.
B. A bottle whose neck is just smaller than the egg.
C. A piece of paper with nothing on it.
D. A big basin of water that is hot and clean enough.
13. Why has a piece of paper to be burned in the bottle?
A. To make the bottle become bigger.
B. To increase the air pressure inside.
C. To drive out some air molecules.
D. To make the bottle hotter.
14. Which of the following steps comes first?
A. Lighting the paper and put it into the bottle.
B. Placing the egg in the neck of the bottle.
C. Wetting the bottle's neck and the egg.
D. Removing the boiled egg's shell.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. How Can An Egg Be in a Bottle?
B. How Can An Egg Becomes Smaller?
C. An Unbelievable Experiment
D. An Experiment Against the Natural Law
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项 。
Do what you love and love what you do. and success will come? Well, we wish. 16 It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.
●Passion is just emotion; care is an action.
Wishing hard and wanting something really badly won't give you anything. Passion is a
"barely controllable emotion". and emotion is not always reliable. 17
In today's world where people always talk about finding your passion, it still seems vague
(模糊的) to many. On the other hand. if you're asked to find something you care about. it's
easier for you to take action.
●. 18
There's a lot of work to do besides being enthusiastic. For example, you can be enthusi-
astic about painting, but if you don't have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly
become an expert in painting. 19 The belief that you'll do it well anyway as long as you
like it is just an illusion (幻觉).
●Learn not just what you care about. but what's around that too.
When you’ ve got your focus, try to map out the skills you need to get better at that.
When you have the learning plan ready, apply that course you need, get yourself the tools re-
quired and start learning and practicing.
●Success is a way to go, but you can start right now.
20 But if you've already got your passion. it will be good enough to make that your
foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take ac-
tions. Instead of passively letting your passion wander around. be active and do something
that will push you forward.
A. Care is different, it implies actions.
B. "Like it" doesn't mean "Good at it".
C. Passion alone doesn't guarantee success.
D. However, reality is not as simple as we want it to be.
E. You are good at something and you need the world to know.
F. Desire to make a difference in the world with your strengths.
G. To become an expert, you need to be always learning and improving your skills.

The Washington Post in an interview. John and Charlotte 45 (marry) in a tiny cere-
mony-only two guests were present on Dec. 22, 1939. Charlotte took a teaching job; John
first coached football and basketball and had a long career later at Humble Oil and Refining
CO.
What's the couple's secret 46 their longevity? Living in moderation, they said.
They eat right, don't drink much, and John still 47 (exercise) at the community gym

So. after 80 years. do they still argue, 49 have they figured it all out? No, they
