Some are attracted to museums by the art and the culture — but if that isn’t enough, there is always the strange!
Cancún Underwater Museum
No need to hold your breath to see this one. The Cancún Underwater Museum is, as the name suggests, underwater. More than 500 sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature. Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.
Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre
With great attention to detail, New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars. Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson, who helped create the set designs with his team. Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.
Tenement Museum
At New York’s Tenement Museum, visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the 1860s through to the 1980s. The museum opened in 1992 and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms, where costumed ‘residents’ enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period — leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.
Cupnoodles Museum
The Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama, Japan, offers a treat: exhibits can be not only admired, but eaten. Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop, refining creations with their favourite ingredients. While doing so, one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.
1. What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?
A. The strange name. B. The number of sculptures.
C. Works about art and nature. D. Ways of visiting it.
2. Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?
A. Cancún Underwater Museum. B. Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
C. Tenement Museum. D. Cupnoodles Museum.

Last year,Karen Wooldridge and his friend Laura Hogan had an idea: Take unsold flowers which will be thrown away and send them to old people.“We started working on our kitchen island, and we were really proud of sending flowers,“Wooldridge said. Soon, Hogan added,“We developed.”
Now, they send a thousand unsold bunches of flowers a month, with 150 volunteers working five days a week. Their organization,Bluebirds &. Blooms,is named after their childhood youth troupe(劇團)The Bluebirds.Their flowers brighten 30 communities—mostly homes for seniors who are losing their memories.
Vellie Larson has lost some of her memories, but her daughter Karen Schwartz was in the same Bluebirds troupe as Wooldridge and Hogan, and Larson taught them all music.“When they send flowers to her,”Schwartz said,“She’ll describe them to me and give me a flower report every day.”
“The flowers are also a hint that someone cares,”said Shery Hassan, the center’s director.“They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.“Families will come in, and they’ll say,’Oh who got you flowers?This is beautiful.’And it says’Thinking of you.’The seniors can just say,’Oh,somebody was thinking of me!’”
For Wooldridge,the act of kindness brings back great memories of her father,who had Alzheimer’s(老年癡呆).“I know he would have loved visits from these women,”Wooldridge said. And while some might find it difficult to work so closely with those fighting with memory loss, Hogan said,“It makes us happy. We’re doing something good.”
4. What idea did Wooldridge and Hogan have last year?
A. Making profits by recycling unsold flowers.
B. Turning unsold flowers into gifts for seniors.
C. Aiding seniors by selling flowers for a living.
D. Recovering lost memories by sending flowers.
5. What can we learn about Bluebirds &.Blooms?
A. It sends flowers on a day-to-day basis.
B. It is named after a best children’s drama.
C. It has grown into a national organization.
D. It mainly serves the old with memory loss.
6. What does the underlined word“hint”in Paragraph 4 mean?

【6題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第二句話““They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.(哈桑說:“他們很難過,只要有一束鮮花這樣簡單的東西,他們的日子就會變得明亮?!?”可知,他們很悲傷,僅僅是一束花這樣簡單的東西就能照亮他們的日子,說明鮮花也是一種提示,表示有人在關(guān)心他們。故劃線的單詞意為“提醒,提示”。故選A。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一、二句話““The flowers are also a hint that someone cares,”said Shery Hassan, the center’s director.“They’re sad, and just having such a simple thing as a bunch of flowers brightens their days,”Hassan said.(中心主任謝麗爾·哈桑說:“這些花也暗示著有人在乎。”。哈桑說:“他們很難過,只要有一束鮮花這樣簡單的東西,他們的日子就會變得明亮?!?”可推知,這些花讓老人們明白自己是被人關(guān)愛的,它們點亮了老人們陰郁的日子,讓老人有幸福感。故選D。
C
Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the notion that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
8. What might people with a growth mindset agree with?
A. Challenges are welcomed.
B. Mistakes can be avoided.
C. Success is due to good luck.
D. Only talent leads to success.
9. What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A road to nowhere.
B. A challenge in the way.
C. An outcome to expect.
D. A chance to advance.
10. Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3?
A. To make a prediction.
B. To present a fact.
C. To support a viewpoint.
D. To clarify a principle.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
B. Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.
C. Growth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset ones.
D. Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇說明文。文章指出人們對失敗的理解、態(tài)度會決定會影響到他們的創(chuàng)造性產(chǎn)出,相比輕言放棄的固定型思維的人,具有成長型思維的人用發(fā)展的眼光看待失敗,更具有創(chuàng)造力。
【8題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你經(jīng)歷過失敗,并將其視為一次提升自己的機會,那么你已經(jīng)將自己置于成長型群體中。)”,以及第三段第一句“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根據(jù)研究,成長組的人往往比固定組的人產(chǎn)生更多的創(chuàng)造性想法。)”可知,對于成長性思維的人來說,失敗只是一個墊腳石,從失敗中他們能生成更多創(chuàng)新的點子,所以具有成長型思維的人愿意接受挑戰(zhàn),故選A項。
【9題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group. (如果你經(jīng)歷了失敗,放棄了,你就很方便地把自己分配到固定的群體。如果你經(jīng)歷過失敗,并將其視為a stepping stone,那么你已經(jīng)將自己置于成長型群體中。)”可知,固定型思維的人遇到失敗就放棄,而與之相對的是,成長型思維的人把失敗當作有幫助的,可以促進發(fā)展,可推知,劃線短語a stepping stone和D項“A chance to advance. (一次提高的機會)”意思相近,故選D項。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. (根據(jù)研究,具有成長型思維的人往往比固定型思維組的人產(chǎn)生更多的創(chuàng)造性想法)”可知,這句話為段首核心觀點。下文“To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him, ‘It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that?’ Edison answered, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.’ (為了說明這一點,以托馬斯·愛迪生為例。在19世紀,愛迪生試圖改進燈泡,并試驗了許多材料。經(jīng)過一千多次試驗,他終于發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種維持光的元素。一位記者曾經(jīng)問他:‘你似乎已經(jīng)嘗試了很多次,但每次都失敗了。為什么呢?’愛迪生回答說:‘我沒有失敗。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一萬種行不通的方法?!?”可知,此處為典型舉例表述,結(jié)合其內(nèi)容可知,作者提到愛迪生是以其為例來支撐本段首句提出的觀點。故選C項。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文,本文第一、二段主要介紹了具有成長型思維的人和具有固定型思維的人對待失敗的截然不同的態(tài)度和反應(yīng);第三、四段論證了具有成長型思維的人,善于用發(fā)展的眼光看待失敗,相比輕言放棄的固定型思維的人,更具有創(chuàng)造力,可本文的大意為:對失敗的理解、態(tài)度會決定會影響到他們的創(chuàng)造性產(chǎn)出。故選A項。
D
Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (偽造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.
The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.
All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy.
Atomic-bomb (原子彈) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck’s team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.
The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.
12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Impressive. B. Acceptable. C. Expensive. D. Difficult.
13. How does radiocarbon dating work?
A. By analyzing samples from artwork.
B. By removing the smaller samples.
C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.
D. By testing the carbon in the sample.
14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?
A. It produces more carbon-14.
B. It helps identify fake paintings.
C. it reduces carbon concentration.
D. It has been stopped completely.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Paintings waiting to be identified
B. Two fake paintings found in France
C. New technology in painting becomes a hit
D. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了放射性碳測年法在畫作防偽上的應(yīng)用,工作原理。但是原子彈測試也會產(chǎn)生碳-14,會影響檢測精度。
【12題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞下文“If there is a chance that a painting is genuine — and therefore valuable — they don’t want the collection of larger samples to damage it.(如果一幅畫有可能是真實的,因此很有價值,他們不希望收集更大的樣本會損壞它)”可知,推知劃線詞所在句子意為“從藝術(shù)品中去除較小的樣本正變得越來越適合博物館和繪畫所有者”。由此可知,劃線詞palatable與acceptable“認同的,認可的”意思接近。故選B。
【13題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what’s left to estimate the time that’s passed.(所有生物都從大氣和食物中吸收碳,包括放射性碳-14。當通常用于制作油畫布的植物死亡時,其中所含的碳-14會繼續(xù)脫落。放射性碳測年法測量剩余的時間來估計經(jīng)過的時間)”可知,放射性碳測年是通過測量剩余的碳-14來估算經(jīng)過的時間的。故選C。
【14題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Atomic-bomb (原子彈) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere. (原子彈測試始于1940年代,并于1950年代起飛,迅速增加了大氣中碳-l4的含量)”可知,原子彈測試產(chǎn)生了大量的碳-14。故選A。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“Radiocarbon dating has revealed two fake (偽造的) paintings in France — probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. (放射性碳測年法在法國發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩幅偽造的畫作,這可能是該技術(shù)首次用于警方調(diào)查。這些畫據(jù)說是二十世紀初左右的作品)”可知,文章主要講述的內(nèi)容是放射性碳測年法在畫作防偽上的應(yīng)用。由此可知,Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper(放射性碳約會證明是一個反假助手)適合作本文最佳標題。故選D。

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了都江堰建造的原因和它的結(jié)構(gòu)。
36題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:都江堰最初由秦國在公元前256年左右建造,作為灌溉和防洪系統(tǒng),是古代工程技術(shù)的杰出典范,至今仍在使用。根據(jù)句意可知,此處表達“作為灌溉和防洪系統(tǒng)”之意,應(yīng)填介詞as意為“作為”符合題意。故填as。
【37題詳解】
考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意:戰(zhàn)國時期,岷江沿岸的居民深受洪水之苦。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本句是who引導(dǎo)的定語從句,主句中缺少謂語,所以trouble作主句的謂語動詞,根據(jù)空后的by表“被”之意可知,此處應(yīng)該用被動語態(tài),根據(jù)時間狀語During the Warring States Period,可知應(yīng)該用一般過去時,主語是people,為集體名詞,此處表復(fù)數(shù)。故填were troubled。
【38題詳解】
考查副詞。句意:灌溉工程師李冰深入調(diào)查了這個問題。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處修飾空前的動詞investigated,應(yīng)該用副詞修飾,thorough的副詞形式是thoroughly。故填thoroughly。
【39題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:然后他們在玉雷山上開了一條通道,讓水流過。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,channel意為“渠道”,為可數(shù)名詞,句中用的單數(shù),前應(yīng)該用不定代詞修飾,channel為輔音音素開頭,應(yīng)該用a。故填a。
【40題詳解】
考查動詞時態(tài)。句意:系統(tǒng)建成后,再也沒有發(fā)生洪水。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本句是after引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語從句,主句缺少謂語動詞,所以occur做主句謂語,描述的是過去發(fā)生的事,用一般過去時。故填occurred。
【41題詳解】
考查名詞。句意:更重要的是,它使四川成為中國最多產(chǎn)的農(nóng)業(yè)地區(qū)之一,因為從岷江引水可以用于灌溉。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空前是形容詞agricultural,所以空處應(yīng)填名詞,region意為“區(qū)域”為可數(shù)名詞,根據(jù)空前的one of可知,此處應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填regions。
【42題詳解】
考查定語從句關(guān)系詞。句意:如果你去都江堰,你會看到一個看起來像魚嘴的不尋常的建筑。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處引導(dǎo)定語從句,先行詞是construction,在從句中作主語,應(yīng)該用which或者that引導(dǎo)。故填which或者that。
【43題詳解】
考查名詞。句意:這個著名的景點,魚嘴,連同另外兩個重要的部分,即飛沙巖和寶坪口,經(jīng)過科學(xué)的設(shè)計,以控制全年的水流。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空前是形容詞famous,所以空處應(yīng)填名詞,attract的名詞形式是attraction,結(jié)合Yuzui可知用單數(shù)即可。故填attraction。
【44題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意:這個著名的景點,魚嘴,連同另外兩個重要的部分,即飛沙巖和寶坪口,經(jīng)過科學(xué)的設(shè)計,以控制全年的水流。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處考查固定搭配:be designed to意為“目的是”。故填to control。
【45題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意:都江堰被聯(lián)合國教科文組織認定為世界遺產(chǎn),2000多年來,都江堰一直在灌溉農(nóng)田,同時預(yù)防洪水。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,本句已有謂語動詞has irrigated,所以recognize應(yīng)用非謂語形式,它的邏輯主語是Dujiangyan,兩者間是被動關(guān)系,應(yīng)該用過去分詞作狀語,位于句首,首字母應(yīng)大寫。故填Recognized。

47. 閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Price of a Miracle
Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money. She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully:47 cents. She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally, she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter. That did it ! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.” Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mom says he needs an operation. But my dad can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
注意:
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
2.請按如下格式作答。
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The operation was completed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “47 cents!” Tess replied without any hesitation. To her surprise, the man said that he was a doctor and that it was a fair price for a miracle. Overcome with excitement, Tess grasped his hand, leading him to her home. With doubt and hope, Dad and Mom had Andrew checked by the man, who declared that he would perform an operation on the boy and promised it wouldn’t be long before he could pick himself up. Hearing his words, the whole family burst into tears of joy.
The operation was completed. Hardly had Andrew been sent back home when his parents went to thank the doctor with Tess, for they knew that 47 cents was a joke for an operation. They promised to save enough money to pay for the bill only to be told that Tess had paid for it. “It’s a fair deal,” the doctor explained to the parents,and then looked into Tess’s eyes, smiling, “47 cents was what it cost—plus the faith of a little girl.”
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文以人物為線索展開,講述了八歲的小女孩Tess聽到爸爸媽媽談?wù)撍牡艿埽弥艿艿昧酥夭?,需要動手術(shù),但是家里沒有錢。聽到爸媽說“只有奇跡才能救他”時,她拿了自己的零花錢去藥店買“奇跡”,幸運地遇到了能做手術(shù)的醫(yī)生,醫(yī)生真地給了她們家一個“奇跡”,為她弟弟做了手術(shù)的故事。

【點睛】
[高分句型1]. With doubt and hope, Dad and Mom had Andrew checked by the man, who declared that he would perform an operation on the boy and promised it wouldn’t be long before he could pick himself up. (由關(guān)系代詞who引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句,省略了that的賓語從句,before引導(dǎo)狀語從句)
