Museums are cathedrals to science and understanding, but not all science museums are equal. The following 4
examples are all well worth visiting in the future.
The Natural History Museum in London
It is one of the best science museums in the world. With exceptional exhibits all wrapped up in a masterpiece of
architectural design, this museum is a must visit for anyone who travels to London. As the name suggests the main
theme of the museum is natural history and it features collections about animals, plants, human biology, minerals,
and natural resources.
The Exploratorium in San Francisco
The museum, full of engaging and educational exhibits, truly lives up to its nickname" The Scientific Fun
House" and offers a very different museum visiting experience. The design team challenged themselves to create a
space to display the strangest, most amazing and most exciting aspects of science possible to amaze and inspire
young minds. Its main mission is to create young scientists by letting them see just how exciting science can be.
The Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne
It is located in Lucerne in Switzerland and is filled with different modes of transport. Most of the
exhibits are Swiss car models from the early 1900s onwards but it also includes planes, trains, shops,
and some communication technology. It's not all about science and technology - there is also a large
collection of the works of Hans Erni, a well-respected local artist.
The National Air and Space Museum in Washington D. C.
The museums in the world. Exhibits within the museum take you on a visual feast of a tour, from the first
attempt to fly right through to the incredible achievements of the explorations into space.

Andrea Yoch loves her adult sons, but would also love to not live with them. This is especially true in the 2,
200-square-foot rental in St. Paul, where she and her husband moved after the boys left their childhood home (a
5,000-square-foot property with a pool). But now Ben, 20, and Ryan, 23 are crammed with their parents in a house
where a movie playing in one room can be heard in almost any other.
After her sons showed up due to the lockdown after the Coronavirus crisis struck- Ben from Boston, where he is
a college student, and Ryan from New York, where he was starting out as an assistant advertising account executive-
Ms. Yoch rushed to set up temporary offices in a bedroom and a basement that now also functions as a super crowded
gym. "I would give anything for them to restart their lives, "she said.
As the pandemic （流 行 病） continues, Wall Street bankers, Uber drivers, academics, artists and many other
adults have given up their independent lives and migrated home. Some fled heavily populated cities for the rural
suburban houses where they grew up and the promise of home-cooked meals and free laundry. Others ended up in
downsized spaces designed for empty nesters or in apartments already shared with other family members, such as
grandparents or teenage siblings.
Parents caught by the increase of layoffs and canceled contracts found themselves feeding grown children who
were in the same position. Mothers who had grown accustomed to freedom were suddenly expected to go back to
cooking and cleaning.
“Some parents see this as a welcome surprise, but it can also add a lot of financial stress," said Lindsey Piegza,
chief economist at the investment bank Stifel. You can't assume that parents are necessarily in a better-off position
than their adult children: a lot of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and don, t have enough savings to
accommodate extra people living in their households.”
24. Which word best describes Ms. Yoch's life with her two sons?
A. Exciting B. Inconvenient C. Satisfying D Disappointing
25. What does the underlined phrase "empty nesters" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. People without jobs.
B. Children staying abroad.
C Grown-ups with no houses.
D. Parents with no children around.
26. Why do some parents unwillingly welcome their children back home?
A. Because they want their kids to be independent.
B. Because they don’t like to do all the laundry.
C. Because they are in no better financial situation.
D Because they have sold or rented out their houses
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The generation gap between parents and their children.
B. The life young people used to live before going to college.
C. The parents' life being affected by children in the lockdown
D. The economic crisis brought about by the deadly coronavirus.
C
The African Continent has various habitat types, but savanna (热带草原) ecosystems cover approximately half.
And where there is savanna, there is fire. "It's an important part of the ecology of the system," says University of
Liverpool ecologist James R Probert. Burning allows grasses to take the lead by keeping taller bushes from
occupying the land, Loss of grasses could push out species such as wildebeest (牛 羚 ), which are famous for their
splendid annual migration.
A decade ago researchers put decreasing fires within Tanzania's Serengeti National Park down to the recovery
of wildebeest population following an epidemic of rinderpest, a viral disease. When millions of wildebeest feed on
grass, they remove fuel from the land, making fire less frequent and less severe.
But Probert and his colleagues found that even after wildebeest populations had stabilized by the mid-1990s,
fires continued to decrease in the same area. Their analysis of satellite data showed that the region experienced a 40
percent reduction in wildfires between 2001 and 2014- in line with dramatic increases in farm animals in the area.
If you have lots of farm animals eating the grass, then you have less fire. That’s well known Probert says. "But I
don’t think anybody had realized the degree of the decline in fire and linked it to farm animals before.”
This is a really interesting pattern, "says University of Guelph biologist John Fryxell, who was not involved in
the study. He cautions, however, that 15 years' worth of data is still a fairly small amount of information from which
to draw final conclusions. "What a short-term connection like that suggests is that there's something interesting here
that could provide the grounds for a deeper experimental analysis, "he adds. That research could include artificially
controlling fire frequency or grazing intensity (放牧强度) in certain areas and then monitoring the land's response
over time.
28. What do we know about fires in savanna?
A. They only happen once in a decade.
B. They are harmful to the growth of grasses.
C. They help keep the balance of the ecosystem.
D. They guarantee the leading position of taller bushes.
29. According to Probert, what led to decreasing fires?
A. The spread of a disease. B. The increase in farm animals
C. The change of the climate. D. The stability of wildebeest population.
30. What does John think of Probert's study?
A. It might help recover the land in savanna.
B. It could lead to further studies on savanna fire.
C. It has proven the link between fires and grasses.
D. It offers enough information for final conclusions.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A Savanna Ecosystem. B. No More Farm Animals
C. Eating Away Fire. D. Controlling Wildfires
D
More than a billion people around the world have smartphones, almost all of which come with avigation (导航)
apps such as Google or Apple Maps. This raises the questions we meet with any technology: What skills are we
losing? What abilities are we gaining?
Talking with people who're good at finding their way around or using paper maps, I often hear lots of frustration
with digital maps. North/South direction gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a time.
But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I'm
so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps every day in the small town where I have lived for many
years. What looks like an imperfect product to some has been a significant expansion of my own abilities.
Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires specific skills. There is nothing natural about them. In
many developed nations, including the U. S., one expects street names and house numbers to be meaningful
references, and instructions such as "go north for three blocks and then west" make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast,
where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names. Why bother when a
government or a military group might change them again? Besides, the city is full of winding, ancient alleys that meet
newer avenues at many
angles. Instructions as simple as “go north" would require a helicopter or a bulldozer (推士机).
Let's come back to my original questions. While we often lose some skills after leaving the work to technology,
it may also allow us to expand our abilities. Consider the calculator: I don't doubt that our arithmetic skills might have
dropped a bit as the little machines became common, but calculations that were once boring and tricky are now much
more straightforward and one can certainly do more complex calculations more confidently.
32. What is the drawback of digital maps?
A. They aren't connected to smartphones.
B. They cost too much to download.
C. They leave some users frustrated.
D. They mix up the south and the north.
33. What's the author’s attitude toward digital maps?
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. ambiguous D. Uncaring.
34. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The differences between Istanbul and the U. S.
B. The miserable life of people in Istanbul.
C. The necessity of using digital maps in Istanbul.
D. The ancient alleys and new avenues in Istanbul.
35. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. When technology closes a door, it opens one as well.
B. Two paper maps are better than a digital one.
C. Technology is not developed in a day.
D No calculators, no digital maps.

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。
Many people can't imagine life without dogs. 36 . However, dogs and people are very different animals.
To make the most of your relationship with your dog, you need to teach her some important skills. Here are three
essential principles to keep in mind while teaching.
37 .
One of the most frequent complaints of pet parents is that their dogs "just won't listen". But put yourself in your
dog's shoes for a moment. If someone was constantly speaking in a foreign language how long would you pay
attention? Probably not for very long because you simply couldn't understand what the foreign speaker was trying to
communicate. Thus, you need to understand how.
If you like the behavior, reward it.
Some training methods use punishment, like scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you
want them to do. 38. While both strategies can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it's also
much more enjoyable for you and your dog.
Control consequences effectively
As you teach your dog dos and don'ts, bear the following two guideline in mind;
Consequences must be immediate. Dogs live in the present. Unlike us, they can't make connections between
events and experiences that are separated in time. For your dog to connect something she does with the consequences
of that behavior, the consequences must be immediate 39 , you have to catch her messing around in the kitchen
and punish her on the spot.
40 . When training your dog, you should respond the same way to things she does every time she does
them. For example, if you sometimes touch your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her
instead, she'll definitely get confused. How can she know when it's okay to jump up and when it's not?
A Consequences must be consistent
B Understand how your dog learns
C. If you want to keep your dog safe
D. If you want to discourage your dog from doing something
E. We adore them for their loyalty, unconditional affection, and passion for life
F. Training your dog well will improve your life and hers, enhancing the bond
G. Other methods mainly focus on teaching dogs what you want them to do

Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food 61 (serve) in most American restaurants
is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed by people in China.
The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s, 62 many Chinese immigrants had
trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over the past years, Chinese
cuisine 63(make) its way into the mainstream.
One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies 64 the ingredients that
are used. 65 (feature) vegetables that are common in Western cuisines westernized Chinese food prefers
broccoli, carrots, onions, tomatoes and dairy products. In addition 66 you can find some Western cuisines that
use strange meats, most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese
food, in contrast, uses a wider 67 (vary) of protein sources, including tofu, chicken 68 (foot), duck blood
and many more that Westerners generally wouldn't choose to eat. The cuisine also has a stronger taste.
Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates
(味 觉) adapt to new flavors 69 (easy). Therefore, it may only be 70 matter of time before authentic
Chinese food becomes popular in America!

Dcar John,
How are you lately? With graduation drawing near, you are undoubtedly under massive stress. At this critical
moment, I just want to let you know you are not alone.
When you are really mentally and physically exhausted, picture the wonderful university life ahead of you. By
doing so, you can have a moment of peace and gel your anxiety dissolved. In class, we will be sitting in a huge
fully-packed hall, enjoying the pleasure of being enlightened by world-class professors. After class, a large amount
of Lime will be at our disposal. Club acclivities, social life, workout and reading will be squeezed into our schedule
as long as we have energy to spare.
Difficulties will in Lime pass away, and all we need to do is hold fast to our dreams and Trust ourselves. Hope
fully, we will both be admitted to our ideal universities. Best wishes.
Yours
Liu Hua

M: Hi, Silvia. Are you going camping with us?
W: Surely, yes.
M: Great. Tt should be good fun unless the weather gets bad.
W. What do I need to lake?
M: Well, when I get home, I'll text you the list I’ve made. You don't need to worry about food though. I've packed
enough hamburgers. That's the easiest thing to make
W: Fine. In case we run out of hamburgers, I'll take some tins and bread.
M: Good idea. If you want, bring some cards. We could play at night.

M: Hi, Georgia How are you?
W: Hi. Not so good. I'm gelling really annoyed with my little brother Jim at the moment. I'm trying to review for
my exams and he keeps slopping me from working. Sometimes he listens to music late at night with his radio on
loudly sometimes he borrows something from me that I need to use for studying, like my dictionary or computer I
can't concentrate on my work for more than a few minutes. It's terrible.
M: You should ask your parents lo deal with your brother. Your exams are more important. Your parents should
understand that.
W: That's a good idea, Matthew. I'll ask my dad for help tonight. My brother will listen to him. And I'll also think
about going to the library at the weekend. It's nice to have a change sometimes when you're studying. How’s your
review going, Matthew?
M: My problem is I just can't remember anything from History. I read a page and then ten minutes later I’ve
forgotten it.
W: That’s not unusual. You should try writing down what you've just read. It's amazing how much more you will
remember that way. Sometimes I even sing my notes. It's a bit embarrassing, but it will help to remember lots of
information.
M: Yes, I'll try those ideas.

M: OK! So my talk tonight is called Psychology in Advertising, but I’m going to start with a little story. In the
18th century, hardly anyone in Prussia ale potatoes or rice, because the main meal for almost everyone: was bread.
But there was a problem with bread; in those days, sometimes the wheat didn't grow very well, people, especially
poor people, would have nothing to eat.
So when the king called Frederick heard about the potato, he immediately ordered everyone in the country to
start growing potatoes. But to his surprise, they refused. Frederick was a very clever man, and although there were
no psychologists in 1774, he certainly had a talent for understanding the psychology of his people. So he soon came
up with a very interesting plan. First, he planted potatoes in his palace garden. Next, he sent soldiers to guard it. As
soon as people saw the garden and the soldiers, they started asking each other "What could be: in that field that is
worth so much? And of course, as soon as they found out that the field was full of potatoes, they all wanted some.
You see, once people believed they were not allowed to eat potatoes, they immediately wanted to have them. And
that's a good psychology.
