Across the globe, museums continue to be among the world’s most visited attractions. From museums
showing art dating back centuries to science museums, there is something for everyone. This list introduces four of
the best and you don’t have to be a history expert to enjoy them.
Hagia Sophia Museum, Turkey
The Hagia Sophia Museum is one of the world’s most visited museums relating to the history of art and
architecture. Having been called “the eighth wonder of the world”, Hagia Sophia is worth visiting to look at the
impressive architecture alone. The housed collection tells an interesting story of the Byzantine empires.
Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore
Asian Civilisations Museum is one of the first museums to provide a broad view of Asian cultures and
civilizations. Its collections focus mostly on Singapore’s multi-ethnic society, which covers much of the cultural
and social history of China, Southeast Asia, South and West Asia.
The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, China
The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses (秦始皇陵兵马俑) is home to one of the eighth wonders
第 3页/共 12页
of the world. The museum houses unearthed clay soldiers, an informative show on the life of Emperor Qin, and a
changing exhibition. The real highlight of this museum, however, is the three open pits (坑) filled with terracotta
warriors and horses. These well-preserved relics offer us a brief look into this long-buried part of China’s history.
The Egyptian Museum, Egypt
Ancient Egypt continues to be one of history’s most popular time periods, with millions of tourists visiting the
Egyptian Museum every year. The museum has two floors: the ground floor features Egypt’s 5,000-year history
with over 160,000 objects while the upper floor is home to changing exhibitions, like King Tut’s tomb and statues
of gods.

Jessica Matthews is an inventor who blends (融合) technology with social good. Bon in the United States to
Nigerian parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. This unique background inspired her to think
about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, Jessica and her classmates in a college came up with a unique idea: a soccer ball that
could produce electricity. The idea came to Jessica during a family trip to Nigeria, where she saw people struggling
without dependable electricity. The Soccer Ball looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special feature. As you
play with it, the ball captures (获取) the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power
small equipment like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big
difference.
Though it gained wide support, the product faced challenges. Many balls broke shortly after being used,
failing to meet the promised three-year lifespan. Doubt and negative comments followed. The company that Jessica
第 4页/共 12页
founded, Uncharted Play, admitted mistakes but promised improvements.
Despite these problems, Jessica has continued to work on energy solutions. A recent invention is a jump rope
that produces electricity. Every time the rope turns, it produces and stores energy. This jump rope is not only useful
for producing electricity but also encourages physical activity. In schools in developing countries, students can now
exercise while also helping to charge equipment.
Jessica’s goal is to provide clean, renewable energy to people around the world, especially in places where
electricity is in short supply. Jessica is proof that even fun activities like playing soccer or jumping rope have the
possibility to solve serious problems.
4. Where did Jessica Matthews’ inspiration come from
A. A discussion in her college. B. A soccer game in Nigeria.
C. A technology show in the U.S. D. A family trip to Nigeria.
5. What is special about the ball invented by Jessica and her classmates
A. It can be used in schools.
B. It can produce electricity.
C. It can store user’s exercise information.
D. It can bring benefits to students in poor areas.
6. What is Jessica’s final goal
A. To supply people with clean, renewable energy.
B. To become a well-known inventor all over the world.
C. To encourage physical activity in developing countries.

7. What kind of person is Jessica
A. Patient and brave. B. Outgoing and humorous.
C. Creative and determined. D. Generous and cheerful.
C
Sad music has been found highly effective in pain relief. A study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain
Research discovered that listening to favorite songs can reduce people’s feeling of pain, especially those sad songs
that tell bittersweet emotional experiences.
This small-scale study invited 63 young adults, each of whom selected two favorite songs: one they had loved
for a long time and another they would take with them to a desert island. Participants (参与者) were also asked to
第 5页/共 12页
choose one song from a set of songs that researchers believed could relax people but were unfamiliar to them.
During the experiment, Participants were required to listen to music for 7 minutes while looking at a monitoring
screen, while another group had a quiet rest. The results showed that compared to those who listened to unfamiliar
comforting songs or did not listen to any songs, people who listened to their favorite songs reported less pain.
In addition to its effects on pain relief, sad music also has positive influences on the mind. Studies have shown
that sad songs can bring emotional resonance (共鸣), providing a sense of psychological (心理的) comfort. Sad
music often touches upon deep emotions within people, causing strong resonance during listening. This resonance
not only helps reduce emotional pressure but also provides psychological support and comfort. This psychological
effect may be related to the need for people to seek emotional support through music when facing difficulties and
challenges in life. Through music, people can escape the difficulties of real life to a certain degree and find inner
peace.
Despite the many positive effects of sad music, depending too much on it may bring some risks. For example,
some people may feel empty or uncomfortable after listening to music. This feeling may be caused by their
over-dependence on music. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that people keep a balance when using music
for emotional management and seek other healthy ways to deal with stress and challenges in life.
8. What type of music was found most effective in pain relief
A. Unfamiliar comforting songs. B. Favorite sad songs.
C. Any type of music. D. Famous rock music.
9. How did the researchers get the effects of sad music on pain relief
A. By measuring the participants’ heart rates.
B. By requiring participants to listen to sad songs.
C. By observing the participants’ facial expressions.
D. By asking participants to report their pain levels.
10. How does sad music help people emotionally
A. It makes them feel sad. B. It makes them feel energetic.
C It helps them reduce stress. D. It helps them forget everything.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. We should not seek other ways to reduce stress. B. We had better avoid sad music completely.
C. We are supposed to listen to familiar music. D. We should not depend on music too much.

Animals often face great challenges during long-distance migrations (迁徙), and bats (蝙蝠) are no different.
Unlike many birds, bats fly only at night, making their movements difficult to track. This has long been a puzzle for
scientists. However, recent research published in the journal Science has shed new light on how bats manage their
energy during these journeys.
Studying bat migration is particularly challenging due to their habits of being active at night and small size.
Edward Hurme, a biologist in Germany, explains that bats are fast and move at night, making it difficult to track
their movements once they leave a particular area. Traditional GPS, which has been useful for tracking bird
migrations, is too large for bats. As Hurme mentions, finding equipment that can send information from a distance
and is small enough for a bat is extremely difficult.
To overcome these challenges, Hurme and his team developed a novel approach. They designed lightweight
tracking equipment that could be fixed to the backs of bats, similar to tiny backpacks. The equipment connected to
a wireless network to send information, much like a cellphone. This creative method allowed the researchers to
track the bats’ movements in detail.
By tracking over 70 bats, they uncovered a fascinating strategy (策略): many bats arrange their migration time
to match the arrival of approaching storms. As Hurme explains, storms produce strong winds that blow in the right
direction for migration, and bats take advantage of these winds to save energy on their long journeys.
More fully understanding the bats’ journeys could help their conservation. Wind turbines (发电机) operated
by energy companies, for example, can kill a lot of bats. By informing the detailed migration information in
advance, researchers hope energy companies will take measures to minimize harm to these animals.
12. What does the underlined phrase “shed new light on” in paragraph 1 mean
A. To hide the truth about something.
B. To turn on all the lights in some place.
C To make a place brighter with a new light.
D. To give fresh information or understanding.
13 What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The development of a new way to track bats migrations.
B. The obvious disadvantage of traditional bats tracking methods.
C The important role of GPS in tracking birds migrations.
第 7页/共 12页
D. The importance of a wireless network in tracking birds.
14. What is the importance of studying bat migration patterns
A. It increases the number of wind turbines.
B. It informs bats of the approaching storms.
C. It helps reduce harm to bats during their migration.
D. It teaches bats how to carefully avoid wind turbines.
15. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Bats’ Difficult Migrations
B. New Findings about Bats’ Migration Strategy
C. Challenges in Studying Bats Migration
D. Protection of Bats during Migration

Max and Lily were brother and sister. They got along very well. But lately, their relationship was more like a
battlefield. On Christmas Eve, there would be a talent show at their school. They signed up for the performance as a
team. However, Lily wanted to sing her favorite pop song while Max preferred a rock band performance, in which
he would show his guitar skills. Arguments flew like arrows, and their previously strong relationship was almost
broken.
One evening, during separate practice, disaster struck. Lily accidentally knocked over Max’s cherished guitar
gifted by their late grandfather. The guitar dropped onto the floor and one of its strings (弦) broke. Max’s face was
第 11页/共 12页
red with anger. “You ruined it!” he shouted before storming out, leaving Lily trembling with guilt. The accident
deepened their rift (裂痕), and for days, they avoided each other. With the show just a week away, their act
remained disorganized and their performance was still a mess.
Their parents noticed the cold war between the brother and sister, and decided to step in. One night, their
mother sat them down and shared stories about their grandfather — a musician who had always valued harmony
and unity. She reminded them of the importance of working together and supporting each other. Her words struck a
chord (和弦), and for the first time in days, Lily and Max exchanged uneasy looks.

Lily took a deep breath and slowly approached Max. “Max, I’m really sorry about the guitar,” she said, her
voice trembling slightly. “I know how much it means to you, and I didn’t mean to ruin it.” Max looked up, his
anger starting to fade. “It’s okay,” he said, his voice softer. “I was just really upset at the time. But Mom’s right, we
should work together. What do you think about combining our ideas for the performance ” Lily’s eyes lit up. “That’
s a great idea! We could sing my pop song while you play the guitar, just like our grandfather used to do.”
On the night of the talent show, Max and Lily stepped onto the stage together. Lily’s voice was sweet and
clear, while Max’s guitar playing was skillful and passionate. When they finished, the audience erupted in applause.
It was clear that their hard work had paid off, and their relationship was stronger than ever. As they walked off the
stage, they hugged tightly, knowing that they had overcome their differences and learned an important lesson about
teamwork and family.
