Four Excellent Museums for Kids to Explore
An injection of knowledge, Leeds
The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently. It features a Victorian street full of real smells and bugs, and presents shows of the impact of some terrible infectious diseases — cholera and smallpox before vaccinations. There are talks, displays, games as well as some information about health heroes over the years.
Adults: 12; children aged 5-15: 10; children under 5: free.
Follow that train, Walthamstow, London
A huge steam engine stands at the entrance to the small, indoor-outdoor Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Two 1967 Victoria Line carriages sit side by side with the cabs open to the would-be train drivers. Fireman Frank display s the fire engine featured in TV programs such as London’s Burning.
Free entrance.
Life through a lens, Edinburgh
The Camera Obscura and World of Illusions experience in Edinburgh presents a unique view of the city in the past. With over 100 interactive exhibits on five floors, it is completely
kid-friendly with no “don’t touch” signs. There’s a perspective room where younger children can dance with their own shadow, match their face with a monkey’s, serve their head on a plate and even lie on a shark.
Adults: 16; children aged 5-15: 12; children under 5: free.
Go back in time, Chichester, West Sussex
Anybody who wants to see, touch and even smell what life was like in ancient times should head to the Weald and Downland Living Museum — a museum with rural buildings ranging from early medieval England to the Victorian Age, and a multisensory, living presentation. There are also farm animals to visit, a wood and playground to burn off energy, and traditional games in one big house if it rains.
Family ticket: 42.

B
I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how.
My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately!
Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.”
I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in life.
What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning
He behaved rudely to people around.
He apologized to the people he had hurt.
He avoided people who made him angry.
He immediately hammered nails into the fence.
Why did the boy’s father give him nails and a hammer
To punish him for his bad behavior.
To help him control his anger.
To teach him how to repair the fence.
To make him stronger by hammering nails.
How did the father react when the boy stopped hammering nails
He apologized to the boy.
He showed his inner happiness.
He asked the boy to remove the nails.
He told the boy to repair the damaged fence.
Which best summarizes the main lesson of this story
Actions speak louder than words. B.Time heals all wounds.
Practice makes perfect.
What’s done cannot be undone.
C
Dan Burton heard of pigs with electric blue meat in California years ago from an old-timer he used to hunt with, but he’d brushed it off as urban legend.
So when he cut open a dead wild pig in Monterey County, California, this past February, he was surprised to see blue fat — vivid, “7/11 slushie” blue — beneath the skin.
The color came from the blue dye of rodent poison, he correctly suspected, specifically from anticoagulant rodenticide bait containing the chemical diphacinone. He tipped off the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which confirmed the presence of diphacinone and sounded the alarm to local hunters.It wasn’t the first time.
Diphacinone is a restricted chemical in California, meant to be used only in specific circumstances for infestation control. The state tightly regulates anticoagulant rodenticides, but it doesn’t enforce a total ban. So it still shows up where it’s not supposed to be: in the bodies of many of California’s iconic animals, including condors, black bears, bobcats, and in the somewhat less beloved feral pigs.(These widely used insecticides may be a threat to mammals, too)
Wild animals with bright blue flesh have turned out in California, indicating poisoning by a partially banned rodenticide.
Photograph By Dan Burton
Burton, who owns Urban Trapping Wildlife Control, was hired in late February to deal with wild pigs encroaching on an 800-acre ranch along the Salinas river. On multiple late-night stakeouts, he watched thick-furred pigs trot up from the banks of the Salinas to the ranch’s fence, snuffling for the ground squirrel bait stations affixed there — and the diphacinone-laced oats within.
The hard plastic bait containers were standard-issue and secure, but a California feral pig can weigh up to 200 pounds and makes “a worthy opponent,” said Burton. The pigs easily broke up the containers and scarfed up the blue pellets.
Why was Dan Burton surprised when he cut open a wild pig
The pig’s fat was bright blue.
He found the pig was still alive.
The pig’s meat was electric blue.
The pig had a strange shape.
What caused the blue color in the wild pig’s body
A.A special chemical in its food. B.The blue dye in rodent poison.
C.A natural pigment in wild pigs. D.Pollution from the Salinas River. 30.What do we know about diphacinone in California
It is completely banned in the state.
It can be used freely for pest control.
It is a restricted chemical with strict regulations.
It is only harmful to wild pigs.
What can we infer from the passage
A.Dan Burton had seen blue-meat pigs before. B.Wild pigs in California are not dangerous. C.The blue color in pigs is a natural phenomenon. D.Rodenticides may affect many kinds of animals.
D
“These objects reflect people’s pursuit of beauty. They have been treasured and passed down through the centuries because they are outstanding examples of artistic excellence,”says Zhu Xiaoyun, curator and director of international relations at the museum.
She says the tour takes people through different exhibition halls, introducing artifacts that showcase a range of craftsmanship and art forms, helping them understand the evolution of Chinese cultural and aesthetic traditions.
Some of the objects, she says, appreciate the beauty of nature, and underline the “dao fa zi ran” principle in classic Chinese philosophy, that is, learning from nature and following its principles. Others celebrate the pinnacle of ancient craftsmanship, such as a seventh-century gold necklace inlaid with pearls and red and blue gemstones.
The necklace has a poignant backstory. In 608, 9-year-old Li Jingxun, a young aristocrat and granddaughter of Yang Lihua, a daughter of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty (581-618), was buried in an extraordinary ceremony. Archaeologists excavating her tomb more than 1,300 years later were astonished by the richness of the burial, which included the necklace now displayed in the exhibition Ancient China.
Other artifacts reflect the grandeur of social rituals, such as intricately patterned bronzes from the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century-11th century BC), used in major ceremonies.
Still others convey romance and freedom, such as a Tang Dynasty (618-907) mural of a woman in a flowing red dress performing the “scarf dance”, in which the dancer wove long scarves through the air.
Why have the objects mentioned in the passage been treasured for centuries
They are expensive and rare.
They represent excellent artistry.
They were owned by ancient emperors.
They tell stories of ordinary people.
What does the museum tour help people understand
How to create ancient artifacts.
The history of the museum itself.
The development of Chinese cultural and aesthetic traditions.
The differences between Chinese and Western art forms.
What does the “dao fa zi ran” principle emphasize A.Learning from nature and following its rules. B.Controlling nature through technology.
C.Using natural materials to make artifacts. D.Decorating objects with natural patterns.
What do the Shang Dynasty bronzes reflect
The beauty of nature.
Daily life of ancient people.
Romance and freedom.
The grandeur of social rituals.
第二节(共 12.5 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 22.5 分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Set a limit for yourself
In order to put the brain in overdrive, you can place restrictions on yourself while creating, which will prevent you from falling back on past successes. If you usually write 1,000 word short stories, try to create a story in under 500 words. Only use a small handful of chords in your song or colors in your design. 36.
Re-conceptualize the problem
Researchers have noted that creative people tend to reconceptualize problems more often before starting a creative task. As Einstein once said “If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.” The best approach is to picture the intended audience of your next creative project. What inspires
them 37. What are the problems they face but are rarely able to talk about
38.Although negative moods can sometimes spur creativity, researchers have found that it is during strong positive moods that our best creative work is done. In fact, the feeling of love or even thinking about love was shown to best encourage creative thinking.
Daydream...after getting started
While research has shown that daydreaming can help with creativity, it is important to note that studies have revealed that daydreaming only works when you’ve already committed effort towards a project. The reason Daydreaming can be beneficial because it allows for the incubation (孵化) of ideas. 39.
40.
Research has shown that this “psychological distance” is an important part of being creative. For instance, one study found that people who thought their work would be used by someone else came up with more novel ideas. On the other hand, those who were told that they would be using think about how someone else will enjoy, use, and incorporate your creation into their lives.
Stay positive all the time
Think about others
What might have been
What are they sick of hearing about
The limiting nature of the task can make you creative.
So be sure to get started on your project before drifting off.
Include your creation into their lives.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a misty October morning. The abandoned garden behind the old downtown library looked like a hidden realm forgotten by time. As I pushed aside a clump of knee-high green foxtail grass, a faded wooden sign emerged from among the vines. Beneath the sign, half-buried in fallen leaves, a glass jar glowed faintly, stuffed with square-folded letters — red, blue, and yellowed ones — like a bunch of dried colorful flowers.
I squatted down and gently pulled out the top one. On the off-white letter paper, there were scribbly words written in pencil: “March 17th. Huihui ran away from the balcony. It has a black spot on its right ear. If you see it, tell it that its mom misses it very much.” I pulled out another one, a printed note: “Last Wednesday in the third-floor reading room, to the boy in the blue shirt — I didn’t dare to say happy birthday to you. Actually, I’ve noticed you for a long time.”
When I turned around, I saw a girl in a light blue school uniform walking out of the mist. “My name is Lin Yue. This is my secret base,” she said, pointing at the glass jar.
“The first time I came here last autumn, there were only three broken flowerpots,” she added. “The doctor said I was always anxious, so I might as well write down my thoughts. Later, I realized that many people have things they can’t say out loud.” No sooner had she finished speaking than a strong wind suddenly rushed in through the archway, like an invisible hand tipping over the glass jar — and the letters scrambled to jump out. Some twirled past the wild chrysanthemum bushes, some stuck to the damp stone walls, and the thinnest ones even drifted toward the library’s red brick wall.
Lin Yue let out a cry and lunged forward, her canvas shoes slipping on the wet flagstones. I quickly grabbed her arm. The two of us rushed around in a fluster, chasing the fleeing letters. Her hairpin fell into the bramble thicket, and my cuffs got stained with grass juice. When I caught the pink letter with “I’m sorry” written on it, I noticed a lopsided smiling face drawn on the back. At that moment, I suddenly realized that this was a secret garden collecting people’s innermost thoughts.

第一节(满分 15 分) One possible version Dear Mr. Smith,
I' m Li Hua, writing to suggest an activity for the "Traditional Culture & Technology Festival." I recommend combining calligraphy with VR technology.
Participants can use VR headsets to "enter” ancient studios, watching 3D animations of masters practicing calligraphy. They can also “hold" a virtual brush to imitate strokes, with Al providing real-time feedback on posture and technique.This approach will attract students by making abstract art tangible. VR enhances immersion, while Al ensures personalized learning. It bridges tradition and innovation,helping young people appreciate calligraphy' s beauty.
Looking forward to your regly!
Best regards,
Li Hua

We scrambled to collect the flying papers. With the wind still howling, it was a real challenge. Lin Yue dashed after a yellow-colored letter that was being carried high by the gusts. I chased a blue one that was fluttering near the bushes. Every time we managed to catch one, a sense of relief washed over us. As we gathered more and more, we found that each letter held a little piece of someone' s heart. There were letters about lost dreams, unspoken love, and long-held regrets. We were like detectives uncovering the hidden stories of the town.
That evening, Lin Yue and I sat in the garden, sorting the recovered notes. Under the soft glow of the setting sun, we carefully arranged the letters back into the glass jar. Lin Yue' s eyes sparkled with a newfound determination. We should make this place a real haven for people' s secrets," she said.I whole-heartedly agreed. We decided to build a small shed to protect the jar from the elements and put up a new sign to invite others to share their stories.

M: No, I often use the running machine and sometimes the bikes and rowing machines. (15) W: Great. I enjoy swimming a lot. I swim three times a week. I try to go early in the morning when the pool is quiet. It gives me extra energy and keeps my weight down as well.
M: Did you say it had helped you lose weight
W: Yes, I’ve lost 14 pounds since I started a year ago.
(16) M: Wow, that’s great. I’ve only lost half that amount so far. (16) W: Keep at it and you’ll achieve your goals.
