There is now a museum for pizza lovers in America’s pizza capital, New York City. The
Museum of Pizza is devoted to pizza, cheese and sauce, but there’s more to it than meets the
tougue.
“It’s often that the simplest ideas are the best. And we wanted to use pizza’s appeal to get
people through the door and to look at art and hear about history in a different forms,” said
Alexandra Serio, Chief Content Officer at Nameless Network, the group that baked the Museum of
Pizza idea. Another instantly recognizable characteristic of the space is the bright colors that are
weaved (穿行) throughout the exhibits—perfect for taking social media-ready pictures.
Located on the street level of Brooklyn’s William Vale hotel, the museum is a large, one-floor
space that houses a wide variety of art, from giant photographs to sculptures that surround visitors.
Serio said exhibits of this kind are becoming an advantage for museums as they try to get
younger legs to walk through their doors. “It’s a kind of change,” she said. “You’ll see it in the next
few years because of museums like the Museum of Ice Cream, and multiple pop-ups (出现) of this
kind of museums suiting a younger audience and seeing how they can make their exhibitions more
attractive, touch and photography friendly.”
“Honestly, I thought it would be like more of a museum in the beginning, with the pizza boxes
and it tells you when it was developed and things like that,” said Nene Raye, visitor from New
Jersey.
Lydia Melendez, a self-described “pizza fan”, bought her tickets in April and for her, this
experience was worth the wait. “I thought it was going to be kind of boring, like I’m going to walk
in and there’s just going to be a book about pizza and how to make it, but this is definitely one for
the books.” she said.
24. What’s a noticeable attraction of the pizza-themed museum according to Serio?
A. It covers a large area.
B. Visitors can bake pizza in it.C. It’s perfect for taking amazing pictures.
D. Its exhibits are arranged in the simplest way.
25. Who is the museum targeted at?
A. Younger audience. B. Ice cream lovers.
C. Artists and sculpturers. D. Professional photographers.
26. What does Lydia Melendez think of the museum?
A. It is kind of disappointing. B. It is surprisingly wonderful.
C. It is definitely a dull museum. D. It looks like a traditional museum.
27. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Small Pizza, Huge Influence
B. New York City, Pizza Capital
C. Fashionable Museums Appear in America
D. Pizza Museum Meets More Than the Tongue

If we want a fair shot at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing:
technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice
versa (反之亦然). Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half
of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger
versions work as well, they would help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the
world on renewables.
The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind
provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the
U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the
supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more
power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return
home.
Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra
energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to
back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by
transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers ( 电 解 器 ) do this by using electricity—ideally from solar and wind power—to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas,
a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to
electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial
electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a
single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.
“ They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern
University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from
the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact,
researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces
performance.
28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?
A. Its universal use remains to be seen.
B. It is more expensive but more practical.
C. It can transform more renewable energy.
D. It is the most advanced around the world.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The rapid development of American technologies.
B. The potential market for energy transformation technologies.
C. The history of energy transformation technologies.
D. The lack of power in California.
30. What may the researchers focus on next?
A. Lessening costly batteries.
B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.
C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions.
D Breaking down water into a carbon-free fuel without using electricity.
31. What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Cautious.
D
It is a question that has long puzzled scientists—exactly why are tigers orange? One might
think it makes them more obvious-particularly against a leafy green forest background. William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger,
burning bright /In the forest of the night.” But now the answer is at hand.
While obvious to us, computer simulations (模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animals
they hunt for, deer, show a different picture. Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue
and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to
the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers’ orange colouration looks green to them,
allowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims.
Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to
estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in
which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the camouflage helps the animal to
mix in.
Dr Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour
vision”—someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green—“we also identify the
most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”.
Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has
fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the
latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as a
two-colour vision observer, the tiger’s colour is very effective.”
The question then arises as to why tigers don’t grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues
write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a
significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is only one mammal known to have green
fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real.
32. Why does the author mention the poem in paragraph 1?
A. To arouse reader s interest in poems.
B. To show the authors respect to the poet.
C. To answer the question of the color of the tiger
D. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us.
33. What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer?
A. Black. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.
34. What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in paragraph 3?A. The cover of something.
B. The images of something.
C. The way of hiding something.
D. The way of hunting for something.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people.
B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct.
C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world.
D. The tigers’ fur will probably evolve into green in the future.

Sport. “Only by shouting can you make the horse go 64 (fast) than others”.
Competitors must wait until they’re 18 before 65 (allow) to participate in the event. Even
then, driver—as they’re known—must pass fitness tests 66 hard theory exams—for good
reason, too. Not only 67 (be) they traveling at incredible speeds, there is also the added danger
of 68 (full) grown racehorses trampling (踩) on the skis. In addition, the speeding hooves (马蹄)
kick up huge amounts of snow and ice 69 crash into the legs of the skiers behind.
