（2024·湖南岳阳·二模）Spring breakers don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy life in the sunshine for a week. U. S. News carefully considered everything to bring you the best inexpensive spring break destinations.
Key West
This small island in the Florida Keys is known for its odd residents and best snorkeling (浮潜) opportunities.

Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination for college students. This South Texas local e is only about 30 miles north of the U.

（2024·陕西宝鸡·二模）Great paintings evoke feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
It is an oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. There has been much speculation about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays identify the woman as Lisa delGiocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant. Her husband most likely commissioned the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night depicts a view from his window in an asylum where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view but he may have been surprised to learn that it was the one destined for fame.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh ultimately painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
25．Who is Lisa delGiocondo
A．An unknown model.
B．A pregnant woman.
C．Leonardo Da Vinci’s wife.
D．The wife of a rich businessman.
26．What do The Starry Night and Portrait of Dr. Gachet have in common
A．They are works by the same artist.
B．They are both about scenery.
C．They are in honor of friends.
D．They are pained at the asylum.
27．What is the text about

（2024·河南信阳·二模）How to Plan a Panda Tour
There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But the four panda bases around Chengdu are the best places to see giant pandas. Which one is best for you depends on how much time you have and what kind of experience you want to have.
If you just want to see giant pandas, we recommend you go to Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base. You can see pandas at all different ages from the oldest to the newborns. This base is huge but usually crowded. You can finish your trip in one day.
If you want a deeper panda experience, there are three recommended activities.
Join in a Panda Volunteer Program
Giant panda volunteer programs are available in three panda bases. Dujiangyan is the best place for a one-day program. If you want a less crowded environment, consider Wolong and Bifengxia, though they require 2 and 3 days respectively. Your work would include weighing and cleaning bamboo, making cakes for pandas, watching pandas being fed, and cleaning pandas’ enclosures (围栏).
Join in a Red Panda Volunteer Program
Unlike with giant pandas, you can have a zero-distance encounter with red pandas—you can feed a group of them without a fence in between. If you are interested in red pandas, you can join in our red panda volunteer program.
Hike Into the Habitat of Wild Pandas
If you are a lover of pandas and outdoor activity as well, consider having a hike in wild panda habitat in Wolong. Go panda tracking, and see if you will be lucky enough to see a wild panda.
28．What is recommended for just a look at pandas
A．Getting involved in a panda volunteer program.
B．Visiting Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base.
C．Hiking into the habitat of wild pandas.
D．Joining in a red panda volunteer program.

It also reveals the psychological tensions that powered her search, through a dramatic presentation in two contrasting exhibition spaces. Moving from the well-lit rooms of “Day” to the darkened area of “Night”, viewers will encounter more than 120 works, including many never seen before in Australia.
Tickets can be booked online via the exhibition or event page on our website, or in person at the welcome desk at the Art Gallery.

（2024·陕西宝鸡·二模）Great paintings evoke feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
It is an oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. There has been much speculation about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays identify the woman as Lisa delGiocondo, the
wife of a wealthy silk merchant. Her husband most likely commissioned the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night depicts a view from his window in an asylum where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view but he may have been surprised to learn that it was the one destined for fame.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh ultimately painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
25．Who is Lisa delGiocondo
A．An unknown model.
B．A pregnant woman.
C．Leonardo Da Vinci’s wife.
D．The wife of a rich businessman.
26．What do The Starry Night and Portrait of Dr. Gachet have in common
A．They are works by the same artist.
B．They are both about scenery.
C．They are in honor of friends.
D．They are pained at the asylum.
27．What is the text about
A．World-famous artists.
B．Western painting styles.
C．Stories behind great paintings.
D．Painting process of masterpieces.

There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But the four panda bases around Chengdu are the best places to see giant pandas. Which one is best for you depends on how much time you have and what kind of experience you want to have.

Unlike with giant pandas, you can have a zero-distance encounter with red pandas—you can feed a group of them without a fence in between. If you are interested in red pandas, you can join in our red panda volunteer program.
