What comes to mind when you think of a museum Valuable exhibits Relaxed atmosphere Here let's encounter some special museums.
The Museum of Bad Art
The Museum of Bad Art based in Boston, Massachusetts, will bring you a quite different visual experience. As its name implies, all pieces have made their way to the museum for being too bad to be ignored.
All the paintings have been found in yard sales, rescued from the trash or donated to the museum. When viewing such a large collection of failed art, be prepared to laugh your head off.
The Luoyang Museum of Ancient Tombs
Established in 1984 and opened to the public in 1987, the Luoyang Museum of Ancient Tombs sits in a complex of grand buildings in the architectural style of the Han Dynasty.
The distinctive museum consists of two sections. The aboveground part features models of tombs from the Stone Age to the Han Dynasty. The underground one contains 22 tombs from Henan Province. The tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei is the highlight of the museum.
The Underwater Museum
Fancy an undersea exploration but have no idea where to go Then the Underwater Museum at the bottom of Lake Grublsee in Austria can be a good choice.
This incredible museum is perfect for adventurous divers, which surely gives visitors a unique experience. It houses not only copies of ancient people and cultural relics, but also fun, strange pieces like the Statue of Liberty, aliens and skeletons(骨架).
Upside Down House
Another strange museum is the Upside Down House in St. Petersburg. It features an apartment where everything is turned upside down.
When you walk into the house, you will feel quite confused and find the entire museum very impressive. With each item in the apartment turned head over heels, you would experience the illusion (错觉) that comes with standing on the ceiling.

Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmentally-friendly life.
None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.
Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What No electricity I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were faced with real challenges at the time, which just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.
While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits of living off the grid (输电网). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. What's more, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and repurposing things that we would normally throw.
Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.
24.What caused the family to move to a remote town
A.The financial trouble.
B.The popular trend.
C.The desire for a green life.
D.The discounted property.
25.What's the author's first reaction to the property with no electricity
A.Satisfied. B.Overjoyed. C.Relieved. D.Disappointed.
26.What have the kids acquired from the new lifestyle
A.The awareness of saving.
B.The pleasure of a modern life.
C.The skills of classifying trash.
D.The techniques of cooking vegetables.
27.What can be inferred from the text
A.Leading an eco-friendly life is urgent.
B.A family has managed to live a simple life.
C.A green lifestyle has sprung up nationwide.
D.Getting off the grid made no difference to people.
C
A recent New York Times opinion piece by Daniel Willingham addressed the question of whether listening to a book is the same as reading it. Willingham begins the piece with a frequently asked question—Is it cheating if I listen to an audiobook for my book club
Willingham argues that they're both worthwhile but is careful to note that that doesn't mean they have the same value. In line with his points in the article, I listen to audiobooks when I wouldn't otherwise be engaged in a book—say, at the gym or while walking. That's certainly an advantage of listening over reading. But I was surprised to find that Willingham didn't mention what I consider to be the biggest difference between the two: engagement.
The critical difference, for me, between reading and listening is that reading is something you do, while listening is something that happens to you. Reading is an act of engagement. The words on the page aren't going to read themselves, which is something they literally do in an audiobook. If you're not actively taking in written information, then you're not going to make progress on the book. Audiobooks, on the other hand, make progress with or without your participation.
Willingham refers to this point by saying that harder books—“difficult texts” as he calls them—require more engagement, which is thus better suited to reading. Yet it's not necessarily true. For example, I've recently been listening to David Graeber's excellent Debt: The First 5000 Years, a tough read with lots of information and arguments. While I haven't grasped every piece of information that he's presented, I have spent a lot more time thinking about an important topic than I otherwise would. This fill-in-the-cracks nature of audiobooks is a critical advantage.
Ultimately, it's fair to consider audiobooks and written texts as the fundamentally different media. They are different forms based on the same work. Your option depends on what you are willing to give to it (time, above all) and what you hope to get out of it.
28.What is an advantage of audiobooks according to Willingham
A.Cutting down on one's reading time.
B.Increasing absorption in knowledge.
C.Providing more flexible access to information.
D.Encouraging further thinking on serious topics.
29.What does the writer think of reading
A.It helps the general idea to stand out.
B.It suits people working on difficult texts.
C.It speeds up readers' progress on the book.
D.It requires more participation from readers.
30.Why does the writer mention Debt: The First 5000 Years
A.To demonstrate what makes a tough read.
B.To show why audiobooks attract listeners.
C.To prove that audiobooks also suit hard texts.
D.To stress that reading can also take huge effort.
31.What can we learn about texts and audiobooks from the last paragraph
A.They involve similar efforts.
B.They prove equally demanding.
C.They have distinct user groups.
D.They serve different purposes.
D
New research has discovered that adult howler monkeys use play to avoid conflict and reduce group tension, with levels of play increasing when they are faced with limited resources.
Howler monkey play involves individuals hanging from their tails(尾巴) and making facial expressions and signals, such as shaking their heads. However, play is an energy-costly activity for howler monkeys, who generally have an inactive lifestyle due to their mainly leaf-based diet.
The researchers examined how play varies with age, and they measured the amount of time adults play with other adults and with juveniles within their groups. By studying seven different groups of howler monkeys in the rain forests of Mexico and Costa Rica, the researchers found that the amount of adult play is linked to the number of potential playmates, increasing in line with the size of the group. Adults spend more time playing with other adults, rather than juveniles, and adult females spend more time being engaged in play than adult males.
Crucially, the researchers found that play among adults increases in line with time spent searching for fruit. Howler monkeys typically eat leaves, and fruit is a highly prized resource that generates competition among the monkeys. Lead author Dr. Norberto Asensio, of University of the Basque Country, said, “One theory for the positive effect of fruit consumption on play is that a fruit-based diet simply provides the howler monkeys with more energy compared to their typical diet of leaves.”
“If this was the case, we should have observed adults engaging in more play with other adults of the group, instead of young monkeys during fruit searching. Because young monkeys do not pose a threat or provide competition at fruit trees, we believe that play among adults is a method for solving conflicts within the group, in a similar way that grooming (梳理毛发) is used by some other animals.”
32.What was the focus of the researchers' observation
A.What food the monkeys eat.
B.What influence the monkeys' play.
C.How long the monkeys stay together.
D.How big the monkeys' play groups are.
33.What does the underlined word “juveniles” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Young animals. B.Foreign groups.
C.Team leaders. D.Family members.
34.What do we know about howler monkeys according to Norberto Asensio
A.They love grooming.
B.They prefer leaves to fruits.
C.Young monkeys are not competitive.
D.Adult monkeys don't care about the young.
35.What can be the best title of the text
A.Fruits—the crucial source of energy
B.Howler monkeys—a special group living with peace
C.Monkey play—an important means of harmony
D.Conflicts—unavoidable problems among monkeys

How to take a family road trip
Road trips are a great option for vacation because they allow you to see multiple places in one trip and can be customized to what your family wants to do and see. 36. Here are some steps to take before you hit the road.
First, you and your family will want to figure out when you can take a road trip and how long. You can have everyone sit down with a calendar and decide when you can take time off together. You may find you have a week at the end of the summer or a long weekend in the fall when you're free to travel. 37.
38. Discuss potential destinations and any special factors to consider, like the weather. You could choose a place you've always been wanting to visit. Just be sure to choose a location that gives you time to get there and back and enjoy your visit.
Then you can map out your road trip. Input your current city and final destination on a website or in an app like Google Maps and start considering good places to stop to sleep at night and what sights you might want to visit along the way. 39. If you put in your route, it will populate a list of interesting things to see on your drive.
Last, have your car stocked with necessities like water, snacks, and first aid supplies in case of an emergency. 40. For example, you can take activity books or travel versions of board games. You can also download an audiobook or music to listen to together.
A.Next you'll need to decide where to go.
B.Too many clothes or valuables make no sense.
C.A successful road trip also takes some planning.
D.You can really gain a lot from an amazing road trip.
E.Another option is to use a website like .

Kindness of Strangers
We rely on a community where helping others is highly appreciated. When we need help, it creates a web that ties us together.
Once upon a time, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ” She had lung disease and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes. “Mom, I wish it wasn't so hard for me to climb the stairs.”
“I know, honey. We'll try to solve the problem.”
My daughter's words reminded me of an incident. A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯) to us. My daughter could use this stairlift to go up and down stairs by herself without anyone helping her. Hearing the perfect product, our whole family was very excited and looking forward to it. The stairlift sounded wonderful because it would greatly improve my daughter's life. Unluckily, we couldn't afford it though John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
To carry out Cassandra's wish, I got round to ask the charity organization in our community for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair before we bought one. Maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. I held my breath while the phone rang. “Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” I asked them hopefully. However, they hadn't, but they promised to call us right away if they got one.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously.
One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door.

技巧点拨
词义猜测题的解题方法
(1)定义猜词,根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to、be called、that's to say、such as等;
(2)逻辑猜词,根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如similarly、the same as、but、however、while、on the other hand、since、because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果、前果后因;
(3)语法猜词,根据构词法和句式结构,再结合上下文猜词;
(4)语境猜词,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理分析,还要关注所在段落语境;
(5)指代猜词,找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,并替换画线单词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致。
34.C 推理判断题。
①根据题干中的关键词Norberto Asensio定位到最后一段。
②根据本段第一句中的“adults engaging in more play with other adults of the group, instead of young monkeys during fruit searching...or provide competition”可知,成年猴子更积极地参与到群体游戏中去寻找水果,相比之下,小猴子们显得不那么积极,因为小猴子在寻找水果时不会构成威胁或竞争。故选C。
35.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段的研究新发现,以及下文通过实验和研究人员的论述,具体说明这一新发现,即成年吼猴使用玩耍来避免冲突并减少群体紧张,当它们面临资源有限的情况时,玩耍的程度会增加,即猴子之间的玩耍能够避免猴子之间的冲突,实现和谐,C项Monkey play—an important means of harmony(猴子玩耍——和谐的重要手段)为最佳标题。故选C。
难句分析
原句 Because young monkeys do not pose a threat or provide competition at fruit trees, we believe that play among adults is a method for solving conflicts within the group, in a similar way that grooming is used by some other animals.
分析 本句是主从复合句。Because引导原因状语从句,主句为we believe that...,是主谓宾结构,第一个that引导宾语从句,第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词way。
译文 因为小猴子在果树上不会构成威胁或竞争,所以我们认为,成年猴子之间的玩耍是解决群体内部冲突的一种方法,就像其他一些动物用梳理毛发的方式一样。
第二节
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是如何进行家庭自驾游。
36.C 过渡句。根据前文可知自驾游有个性化制订计划等很多便利之处,结合后文可知,下文给出了自驾游的前期准备工作,由此可推知,自驾游虽有很多便利之处,但也需要有计划性,前后为转折关系,C项(一次成功的自驾游也需要一些计划)承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
37.G 细节句。根据本段的主旨句可知,该段讲述自驾游的时间安排,G项(一旦你确定了什么时候可以开始旅行,让每个人都把旅行日期添加到他们的日程安排中)与旅行日期的安排有关,这与本段的主题一致,符合语境。故选G。
38.A 主旨句。设空处位于段首,应是本段的主旨句。根据第二段的主旨句中的First,以及第四段的主旨句中的Then可知,本文的主旨句应是按照顺序讲述的,A项(接下来你需要决定去哪里)中的Next与First和Then上下衔接,且与空后的内容(讨论潜在的目的地和任何需要考虑的特殊因素,比如天气)相符。故选A。
技巧点拨
七选五解题技巧——注重逻辑关系
七选五主要考查考生对文章的整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑关系的理解和掌握。考生在解题时,可根据上下文之间的逻辑关系来锁定答案。如本题中,根据上文的First和下文的Then可知,设空处应与上下文有一定的逻辑关系,衔接上下文,故选A项。
(1)递进关系,如also, besides, in addition...
(2)并列关系,如first, second, next, then, meanwhile...
(3)转折关系,如but, yet, however, nevertheless...
(4)对比关系,如on the contrary, by contrast, by comparison...
(5)因果关系,如so, therefore, thus, as a result, consequently...
(6)条件关系,如if, unless, as long as...
(7)例证关系,如for example, such as, like...
39.E 细节句。根据前文可知,此处提出规划路线的建议,通过网站或应用程序来进行规划, E项(另一个选择是使用像这样的网站)进一步说明可以使用类似这样的网站来规划路线,且E项中的Another option承接上文的内容,符合语境。故选E。
40.F 细节句。根据空后的例子可知,自驾游可以带上一些旅行版棋类游戏,For example是对此空进行举例说明,由此可知,设空处应与自驾游携带的物品和娱乐相关,F项(你还需要考虑带些什么来保持娱乐)与空后列举的例子一致。故选F。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一个土生土长的荷兰人,在与美国人交流时发现了身处不同文化中的人表达情感的方式也不同。
41.D 根据前文asked me to join a seminar on culture and emotion以及空后的of self-introductions可知,作者参加了一个研讨会,在会上大家依次做一轮自我介绍。analysis分析;state状态;letter信;round轮次。
42.A 根据后文as one of those who are interested in culture and emotion以及saying I was one of the world's experts可知,作者自我介绍时把自己称为对文化和情感感兴趣的人,而教授却说作者是专家,由此可知,作者自我介绍时非常谦虚。modest谦虚的;interesting有趣的;dramatic戏剧性的;proud骄傲的。
43.B 根据后文American standards可知,这位教授补充作者的自我介绍是为了更符合美国人说话的习惯,让别人更容易理解。set设置;fit符合;evaluate评估;recommend推荐。
44.C 根据前文a seminar on culture and emotion可知,作者参加的是关于文化和情感的研讨会,所以这里是说作者是关于这个话题的专家。approach方式;situation情况;topic话题;course课程,讲座。
45.D 根据后文and thought that “expert” was a big word可知,作者觉得用“专家”来形容自己显得太过了,感觉很尴尬。curiosity好奇;pity遗憾;disappointment失望;embarrassment尴尬。
46.B 根据后文they thanked me for the dinner可知,作者的新朋友来作者家里吃饭。play玩;dine吃饭;work工作;perform表演。
47.C 根据前文full of interest and energy可知,作者和朋友们的谈话很有趣,所以是充满了乐趣。support支持;noise噪声;fun乐趣;argument争吵,争辩。
48.A 根据前文My heart可知,作者听到客人们的感谢后心情低落,因为他在荷兰出生和长大,在荷兰文化中,“谢谢你的饭”意味着这段关系很疏远。one's heart sinks意为“情绪低落”。sink下沉;melt(使)熔化,融化;race急速跳动;open打开。
49.D 根据后文they made me think they were distancing themselves from me可知,在作者的文化中,感谢别人的饭说明这段关系很疏远。harmonious和谐的;normal正常的;strong稳固的;distant疏远的。
50.C 根据后文when you move from one culture to another并结合上文作者与美国人打交道的两件事可知,作者从一种文化进入到另一种文化中,两种文化表达感情的方式不同,让人感觉格格不入。out of place意为“不得体,不适当”,符合语境。out of date过时的;out of shape变形的;out of sight看不见。
51.B 根据后文but instead made me uncomfortable可知,空处表达内容应和uncomfortable相反,教授的本意是想让作者感觉良好。reliable可靠的;good好的;serious严肃的;careful小心的。
52.A 根据上下文可知,but前后表示转折,but后的they made me think they were distancing themselves from me讲朋友们感谢作者的招待让作者感觉他们在疏远自己,所以此处表达朋友们本意是想表示感激。gratitude感谢;respect尊重;admiration羡慕,赞赏;affection喜爱,钟爱。
53.D 根据前文We think of emotions as feelings deep inside us可知,此处将我们认为的“情感”和实际情况下的“情感”相比较,说明我们的情感实际上是发生在与他人的互动中。reality现实,in reality意为“事实上”,符合语境。total总计,in total意为“总共”;advance进步,in advance意为“提前”;detail细节,in detail意为“详细地”。
54.C 根据后文but I was able to see them可知,作者搬到美国后能看见别人的情感,此处表示转折,说明作者很难在自己的文化中看到别人无形的情感。unbelievable难以置信的;pure纯粹的;invisible看不见的;powerful强有力的。
55.B 根据全文内容可知,文章主要讨论的是文化不同,表达情感的方式也不同,作者搬到美国后,美国的文化与作者从小长大的国家的文化不同。level程度,水平;culture文化;standard标准;value价值。
熟词生义
1.distance 熟义:n.距离,间距 生义:v.与……疏远 2.distant 熟义:adj.遥远的 生义:adj.疏远的
第二节
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统武术——太极拳。
56.Originating 考查非谓语动词。句意:太极拳起源于中国福建省,已有一千多年的历史,深深植根于中国的哲学和文化中。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词,设空处应用非谓语动词;originate与其逻辑主语t'ai chi之间为主动关系,应用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Originating。
57.is characterized 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:太极拳的特点是缓慢、流畅的动作,这种动作能促进平衡、灵活性和放松。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作谓语,陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时;且主语It(第三人称单数)和characterize之间为被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is characterized。
58.flexibility 考查名词。句意见上一题。分析句子结构可知,此处作promote的宾语,应用名词形式,flexibility是不可数名词。故填flexibility。
联想拓展
-ility一般加在以-able 或-ible 结尾的形容词后构成名词,表示“性质、状态、情况”,如:adaptability适应性;capability能力;durability耐久性;feasibility可行性;accessibility易用性,可及性。
59.has gained 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,太极拳因其对健康的益处而获得了全世界的认可。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作谓语,根据时间状语In recent years可知应用现在完成时;主语t'ai chi是不可数名词,助动词应用has。故填has gained。
60.to reduce 考查非谓语动词。句意:研究表明,练习太极拳也可以帮助老年人降低跌倒的风险。be helpful for sb. to do sth.意为“对某人做某事有帮助”。故填to reduce。
61.where 考查定语从句。句意:太极拳通常在小组或班级中练习,学生们从有资格的教练那里学习。分析句子结构可知,此处引导定语从句,修饰先行词groups or classes,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导从句。
62.with 考查介词。句意:太极拳有许多不同的风格,每种风格都有自己独特的一套动作和技巧。设空处无提示词,后面是名词短语,且根据语境可知设空处表示“带有,有着”,应用介词with。故填with。
63.gradually 考查副词。句意:鼓励初学者从最基本的动作开始,随着时间的推移逐渐形成他们的技能和知识。此处修饰动词短语build up,应用副词作状语。故填gradually。
64.Whether 考查固定句型。句意:无论你是在寻找一种低强度的运动,一种减轻压力的方法,还是与中国文化的密切联系,太极拳都能为每个人提供一些东西。句型whether...or...意为“无论是……还是……”,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Whether。
65.a 考查冠词。句意:通过定期练习,你可以体验到这种古老艺术形式的变革力量,并在你的生活中发现更深层次的平衡感与和谐感。a sense of...意为“……感”,deeper的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。

Hanging up the phone, I told this to my family anxiously. Hearing what I said, my daughter could not hide her upset. And then she let out a sigh deeply and squeezed a smile. Looking at my daughter, I patted her head and said, “Things are going to be fine, honey. The community will help us find a stairlift. All we can do is wait. If they don't find one, we'll work hard and save up to buy you one.” Hearing this, my daughter's eyes were filled with hope again, and said gently, “Thank you, Mom.”
One early morning, we heard someone knocking at the door. I opened the door and found a couple of community staff standing there, wearing a smile on their face. We greeted each other and the community workers said they had found a stairlift, which was donated by the previous company. Tears glistening in my eyes, I was so grateful to those who gave us a hand when we were in trouble. My daughter was overflowing with happiness after hearing this. At the moment, we realized it is kindness that makes the world go on, particularly from strangers.
