Hello everyone, this is Zac, greeting you from Paris! I'm standing in one of the most famous museums on our planet—the Louvre Museum. Today, we start a journey to discover some of its breathtaking treasures. Let's go!
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
Now, the huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this is. It looks like she has just flown down of the sky and is standing on the ship. Her head and the arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the results of an ancient battle. And just look at how the dress is being folded by the wind! I really can't believe she is made of stone.
Mona Lisa
Alright, let's move on. You're sure to be fascinated by what lies ahead. Behold, the iconic Mona Lisa! It is the only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect and is protected by glass. But from here, I can get a good view to show you when I look into her eyes, it seems she had a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. I guess that's why she attracts so many visitors every day.
Rembrandt
And now it is time to take a closer look at one of the history greatest artists Rembrandt. He painted this self portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th century selfie Or was simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model
For now, I bid you farewell, with a sincere hope that you will one day visit this wonderful place and experience the profound impact of these remarkable works of art for yourselves.
21. Which of the following picture refers to Nike of Samothrace
A. B. C. D.
22. What feature of Mona Lisa attracts visitors most
A. Her small size. B. Her special decoration.
C. Her good appearance. D. Her mysterious expressions.
23. What is special about Rembrandt
A. His paintings have a long history. B. He produced the most paintings.
C. He acted as a model while painting. D. He used advanced painting skills.

Ellen Xu, now 18, well remembers her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital when she was a five-year-old in San Diego, California. Three-year-old Kate fell seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash (皮疹) and some swelling in her hands and tongue.
At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had a flu, but when her condition didn't improve, the Xus returned to clinic, where. a doctor by chance had experience with Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it's the leading cause of acquired (后天的) heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious. Luckily, the doctor knew how to treat it and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart.
Xu was amazed that the grown-ups couldn't answer her questions about why it was so hard to identify. “In my mind, it was a mystery,” she says, “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve.”
A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket ” Using AI, Xu designed a medical app to recognize Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms (症状) .
The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you've taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease.
Xu's invention has been used as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation's website. She says, “It means a lot to me. I want to use Al to help people live happier and healthier lives.”
24. What disease did Kate catch
A. Eye problem. B. A flu. C. A rare disease. D. Heart attack.
25. What is the function of Xu's medical app
A. Curing Kate's disease. B. Solving any puzzles.
C. Making doctors work better. D. Identifying Kawasaki disease.
26. The fifth paragraph is mainly about the app's ________.
A. wide popularity B. working principles
C. hidden risks D. social impacts
27. Which of the following can best describe Ellen Xu
A. Generous and determined. B. Energetic and helpful.
C. Creative and caring. D. Curious and hardworking.
C

On rainy days, Juanita liked to climb the attic (阁楼) stairs and play with her stuffed animals under the roof. There she could hear the drumming sound of the rain. The attic was dark on stormy days, but Juanita thought it was comfortable to have only one light bulb (灯泡) on.
Today, Juanita was pretending that her stuffed animals were Olympic athletes. The event was the high jump, so Juanita threw them into the air to see how high they could fly. Tom, her stuffed monkey, flew so high that he hit the ceiling and went over into a dark corner.
When Juanita went to find Tom, she saw a box on the floor in the comer. It was dusty, with gold corners and a metal lock that held it shut. Its key was lying just beside it. She had never noticed this box before. What could be inside
Juanita brought the box and the key over to the middle of the attic, under the light bulb where she could see better. She opened it carefully and looked inside. Inside the box were a lot of black and white photos. Most of them were of a small girl with her hair braided (编辫子).
The girl looked just like Juanita! This was confusing. “I’ve never been to that house,” she thought as she looked through the photos. There was a gray farmhouse in the background of each picture. How could Juanita be in pictures of a place she had never been to

Juanita ran downstairs with the photos to show her mom. “Why don’t these photos have any color When did you braid my hair And when did we visit a farm ” she breathlessly peppered her mom with questions, as she handed her mom the stack of mysterious photos. Looking at these photos, Mom laughed. “These are photos of your grandma’s when she was a little girl. This was the farm where she lived.” “Wow!” said Juanita excitedly. “I do really look just like her!”
Juanita asked her mom to take some photos for her and hang them up with Grandma’s. Mom nodded and followed Juanita to her favorite attic stairs. Under the dim light bulb, Mom recorded the happy time Juanita spent with her stuffed animals with the camera. After Mom got Juanita’s photos, she said. “Thanks for reminding me of your grandma’s photos. It was a shame to keep them up in the attic. Now, I will put both of your photos in frames and hang them in your room.” Jumping up with joy, Juanita said. “Everything made sense with those photos hung up.”
