A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience,a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe (开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer,vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin,a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer,the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise,making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum,you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century,culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century,sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise,they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
25.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
26.How do museum visits affect people
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
27.What does the last paragraph suggest
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.

A new study,conducted by British company Mind lab International,has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed,The Telegraph reported.Perhaps,some parents disagree with this idea,saying,“Switch off the music and concentrate!” Well,if that’s the case with your parents,you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row,including spell checking,mathematical word problems,data entry,and abstract reasoning.The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.
The results showed that while music was playing,88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work.David Lewis,chairman of Mind lab International,told The Telegraph,“Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state...they are going to become more positive about the work.”
However,you may have a list of your favourite songs,but not all kinds of music match all homework.For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail,you should listen to classical music,the study found.In the study,pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all.If you are reviewing your English writing,pop music is the best choice,as it is the best kind for spell checking.It cut mistakes by 14%,compared to listening to no music.After finishing your homework,do you often take time to check your answers Maybe,some dance music is suitable for you.
28.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.We Cannot Live without Music
B.Music Helps Us to Learn
C.Different Music,Different Lives
D.Music in the Classroom
29.What did the participants have to do in the study
A.Persuade their parents to listen to music.
B.Listen to the same music together.
C.Finish tasks with music or without music at all.
D.Try their best to choose the most suitable music.
30.What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Para.3
A.Participants. B.Results.
C.Tests. D.Tools.
31.When you review your English writing,what kind of music is the best choice
A.Classical music.
B.Pop music.
C.Dance music.
D.Rock music.

Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times Today,sand painting,an interesting art,will be produced to you.
Sand painting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting.Maybe we all played fixed sand painting as we were young.We first painted a simple picture,then we brushed glue(胶水)to the section,and at last we poured coloured sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.
Unfixed sand paintings have a long cultural history around the world.People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly.They are often temporary(临时的).Different people draw sand paintings to express different meanings: love of nature,admiration for God or love of beauty.
Nowadays,sand painting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen.On the stages,sand painting performers make a series of images(图像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands.The series of images are used to tell a story.
Kseniya Simonova,who is from Ukraine,is one of the greatest sand painting performers in the world.People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.
Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist,and when she began practicing,she nearly gave it up.But she persevered,caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night.You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova.It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the soldier is tragically killed,but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child.This performance makes all audience cry.
Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people.Art of painting is in our life,even in the sand.
32.Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sand painting
A.Glue. B.A printed picture.

Education has always been a hot topic.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents,many of whom try to offer their children the best petition between parents over children’s education may start from the kind of animated (动画)series children watch. 36 By watching the former,children can learn English at the same time.However,this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones. 37 They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.Take JourneytotheWest for example. 38
By watching this show,children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China.Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world.So,children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.
This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series. 39 However,some parents fail to do this.Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent (天真的)children,influenced by their parents,slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. 40
A.Chinese shows have their own advantages.
B.Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents.
C.Children often follow their parents’ advice when choosing animated series.
D.For example,children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad.
E.Once the view is formed in children’s minds,parents’ education proves a failure.
F.This show is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.
G.For some parents,watching foreign animated shows is better than watching Chinese ones.

George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her ” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.
Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience,a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe (开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer,vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin,a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer,the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise,making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum,you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century,culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century,sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise,they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
25.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
26.How do museum visits affect people
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
27.What does the last paragraph suggest
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.

A new study,conducted by British company Mind lab International,has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed,The Telegraph reported.Perhaps,some parents disagree with this idea,saying,“Switch off the music and concentrate!” Well,if that’s the case with your parents,you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row,including spell checking,mathematical word problems,data entry,and abstract reasoning.The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.
The results showed that while music was playing,88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work.David Lewis,chairman of Mind lab International,told The Telegraph,“Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state...they are going to become more positive about the work.”
However,you may have a list of your favourite songs,but not all kinds of music match all homework.For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail,you should listen to classical music,the study found.In the study,pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all.If you are reviewing your English writing,pop music is the best choice,as it is the best kind for spell checking.It cut mistakes by 14%,compared to listening to no music.After finishing your homework,do you often take time to check your answers Maybe,some dance music is suitable for you.
28.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.We Cannot Live without Music
B.Music Helps Us to Learn

Sand painting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting.Maybe we all played fixed sand painting as we were young.We first painted a simple picture,then we brushed glue(胶水)to the section,and at last we poured coloured sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.
Unfixed sand paintings have a long cultural history around the world.People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly.They are often temporary(临时的).Different people draw sand paintings to express different meanings: love of nature,admiration for God or love of beauty.
Nowadays,sand painting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen.On the stages,sand painting performers make a series of images(图像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands.The series of images are used to tell a story.

Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist,and when she began practicing,she nearly gave it up.But she persevered,caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night.You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova.It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the soldier is tragically killed,but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child.This performance makes all audience cry.
Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people.Art of painting is in our life,even in the sand.

This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series. 39 However,some parents fail to do this.Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent (天真的)children,influenced by their parents,slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. 40

George’s mother was very poor and was sick.Instead of having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.
One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.
It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.
It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.
George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.
“Shall I save them for her ” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.
“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
