Museums in Switzerland
Chaplin’s World
Charlie Chaplin was the greatest artist of the silent movies. His legacy(遗产) lives on through the creation of Chaplin’s World a this former home, the Manoir de Ban, Corsier-sur-Vevey. Beneath shady trees on the shores of Lake Geneva, the residence remains as Chaplin would have known it. Inside the museum, you’ll find yourself in a backstreet of old London, which is part of the latest exhibition “The Kid”.
The Swiss Museum of Games
This museum, located within the double-towered 13th-century castle La Tour-de-Peilz on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, is Switzerland’s one and only museum focused on games. Its collection of some 10, 000piccesgoes all the way back to the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. It’s interesting to see how everyone has enjoyed playing games over the centuries.
Swiss Open-Air Museum
Not all museums are housed in buildings. The Swiss Open-Air Museum in Ballenberg allows visitors to walkthrough and around over 100 rural houses and farm buildings sourced from all over Switzerland. All the structures in the museum are original, de construe ted from their original sites, and reconstructed in Ballenberg. It’s the closest visitors can get to relive the life of Swiss people in ancient times.
Queen-The Studio Experience
It’s a kind of magic to step into the former Mountain Studios, situated in the Casinos Barriere in Montreux. Not only did the rock Rolling Stones and band Queen record six albums there, but the Rolling Stones and David Bowie also recorded hits in the studios. Since 2013 there has been a permanent exhibition museum honouring Queen and lead singer Freddie Mercury.

My parents and teachers-even some of my friends—think I’m quiet and shy, really smart but not very cool. In fact, that’s who I am when I am with them, but not who I really am. The real me comes out when I’m around guys who are more like me-like Tom Henderson and Graham Barry. I met Tom and Graham at a Young Scientist contest last y car. The three of us were among the five finalists. As soon as we met, we really hit it off.
As we talked about the conference, we discovered that all three of us were interested in space debris mitigation, which is the study of the prevention of space garbage damaging satellites and the new space station. It was great to meet other people my age who actually knew what I was talking about. When I talk about “space garbage,” most of the kids at my school just say, “Oh, you mean like asteroid-type(小行星之类的) things I played a videogame about that once.”
Luckily, we met each other on the first day of the conference, so we were able to spend a lot of time together for the entire three days. We talked about everything from the best schools to go to, what degrees to get, and even the names of the best people in each field. We want to study with the pioneers. Both Tom and I want to study with Dr. Claude Phipps, the inventor of a project that developed a laser (光) that knocks down space garbage before it does any damage to expensive space vehicles. Graham wants to study under Didier Patrick Queloz, the physics Nobel winner from the University of Cambridge.
Even though the three of us don’t get a chance to see each other very often, we’re still the best of friends. We call each other a couple of times a month. I always feel happy when I talk with Tom and Graham. It’s like the other person in me wakes up. With them, I’m my “real shade.”
20. What does the underlined phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Competed seriously. B. Prepared fully.
C. Got on well. D. Stood out fast.
21. What might the author feel when he talks about space garbage with his classmates
A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
22. What can be learned about Claude Phipps
A. He is a Nobel Prizewinner in physics.
B. He finds some asteroid-type things.
C. He reduces the price of space vehicles.
D. He contributes to dealing with space garbage.
23. What message does the author most want to give us
A. A friend is a second self.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A friend to all is a friend to none.
D. A friend is easier lost than found.
C
There’s a huge amount of science about dreaming but we still don’t know much about it. It’s not even clear if everyone does it: it has been proved that every on c experiences rapid eye movement(REM) sleep, but whether those who claim they never dream really don’t, or do dream but simply don’t remember it after waking, isn’t clear. Nor is the way in which dreams are formed in the brain entirely understood, let alone why it happens.
However, many researchers have long believed that bad dreams allow us to safely “act out” potentially dangerous situations before they occur in real life. And a new study seems to add weight to that theory.
The researchers asked 18 volunteers to wear headsets while they slept and then woke them several times during the night to ask them a series of questions about whether they’d been dreaming, and if that dream involved fear. They then compared the volunteers’ answers to their mapped brain activity during sleep.
They discovered that during “scary” dreams, two areas of the subjects’ brains were particularly active: the insula(脑岛) and the cingulate cortex(扣带皮层). During the day, the former is involved in identifying and evaluating emotional responses, while the latter is responsible for preparing the body’s physical reaction to threats.
In the second part of the study, 89 participants kept a dream diary for a week, and were then shown a series of unhappy images. In subjects who reported having a lot of frightening dreams, the images caused less of a response in the two brain regions than those who reported few or none. What’s more, those who’d had more bad dreams showed more activity in a region of the brain that’s known to reduce the fear response.
“Dreams maybe considered as real training for our future reactions and may potentially prepare us to face real-life dangers,” said lead researcher Lampros Perogamvros.
24. Which of the following is scientifically clear according to the text
A. Whether some people never dream.
B. How the brain works during REM sleep.
C. Whether everyone experiences REM sleep.
D. Why some people forget their dreams after waking.
25. What were the participants in the first part of the study asked to do
A. Keep a dream diary for a week.
B. Wear headsets all day long.
C. Try to create fear in their dreams.
D. Answer questions about their dreams.
26. Why were the participants in the second part of the study shown unhappy images
A. To test their reaction to fear.
B. To cause them to dream bad dreams.
C. To weaken their f car response.
D. To find out why they had bad dreams.
27. What did the new study find
A. Bad dreams can reveal people’s real fears.
B. Bad dreams have a huge effect on people’s lives.
C. Bad dreams are very likely to become real dangers people will face.
D. Bad dreams may prepare people for potentially frightening situations.
D
Girls in primary school are just as physically capable as their male classmates, according to our research, taking the unhappiness out of the phrase “you play like a girl.”
When we compared primary schoolchildren’s physical capabilities, differences between girls and boys were not as pronounced as people think. So they should be happily playing with and competing against each other in the backyard, playground and sporting fields.
As part of wider research to assess people’s physical capabilities across their life course, we tested 300 children and teenagers between the ages of 3 and 19. We tested each child for over two hours, taking more than 100 measurements. Across all measures of physical performance, there was one consistent finding. There was no statistical difference in the capabilities of girls and boys until high-school age (commonly age 12).
Let’s use standing long jump as an example. This provides a measure of your legs’ explosive power. We found no difference between boys and girls before they turn 12. Every physical measure followed this pattern. Before the age of 12, boys and girls do just as well as each other in the standing long jump.
There is no consensus(共识) across schools or among different sports about mixed-gender sports for primary school children. For instance, boys and girls compete separately in most local Little Athletics after age five but field hockey(场地曲棍球) can have mixed gender teams until age 17. And in tennis, primary school-aged girls and boys play separately in singles matches but can play against each other in mixed doubles.
Our findings support the push for boys and girls to compete in mixed sporting teams until the end of primary school, after which the hormonal(荷尔蒙的) changes mean boys tend to perform better in sports and tasks requiring strength and speed.
There are also some practical advantages to mixed sports in primary school and in weekend competitions: fewer scheduling conflicts (allowing school and sport administrations to fit games more conveniently into busy sporting places), fewer clubs or organizations to share already stretched government funding.
28. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 2mean
A. Flexible. B. Horrible C. Obvious. D. Incredible.
29. At what age do boys begin to display a competitive edge in strength-based sports
A. Age 5. B. Age 12 C. Age 17. D. Age 19.
30. What is an advantage of mixed-gender sporting teams
A. Increased competition and motivation.
B. Enhanced social skills and teamwork.
C. Decreased conflicts within schools，
D. Reduced government budget spending.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. When it comes to sports, a boy does play like a girl.
B. What matters most for girls to be as athletic as boys.
C. Standing long jump: A sport more for boys than girls.
D. Battle of sexes: When boys and girls compete in sports.

It was hard to say goodbye to a pet, especially for children. Nancy Lowe. 5, from Walton-on Thames, England, experienced the loss of her beloved cat, Tintin, earlier this year. She died from heart failure and Nancy had been struggling to adjust to life without her best friend. Concerned and anxious, Nancy’s mom, Tamara, said, “Nancy and Tintin were best friends, and they had a really close bond, Whenever they saw each other, the two of them were so happy.”
Nancy desperately missed Tintin and she was worried the cat would be lonely, so she decided to write a letter to her cat up in heaven. She was warned by her mother, who told her that heaven might be too far away and that Tintin might have found a new friend, but Nancy insisted on writing the letter. When she was asked what she had written, she showed the letter to her mother generously. It read, “Dear Tintin, I miss you. Have you found a new friend in heaven ” Tamara was touched by her daughter’s sincere love and kindness. She didn’t want to disappoint her daughter so they posted the letter together.
Before they put the letter in a post box, once again Tamara tried to let her know she probably wouldn’t receive a reply, but Nancy addressed the envelope to “heaven” and mail edit off anyway.
Tamara said, “When we sent the letter I didn’t expect anything to comeback and I don’t think Nancy did, either. But it was important for her to say a proper goodbye. Getting a response was the last thing we expected.” Tamara and Nancy didn’t know a postman named Clive Edwards was on duty that day and he saw the letter addressed to heaven and wanted to help Nancy find some comfort in her loss.

Dear Snowy,
I’m extremely sorry to tell you that I will be unable to fly a kite with you this weekend.
It is very kind of you to invite me and I’m really looking forward to enjoying the quality time with you at the weekend. However, much to my regret, I will be absent owing to the fact that the period exam is just around the corner, for which I am now really busy preparing. What’s worse, having caught a bad cold lately, I’d rather I stayed at home right now instead of going anywhere.
Please accept my sincere apology. I would appreciate it if you could kindly tell me when you are available so that we will share a happy moment later.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
八、读后续写（共1题，满分25分）
One possible version:
To their surprise, they received a letter from “Tintin” just a week later! Of course, it wasn’t true Tintin who had written back. Clive wrote the letter as if he were Tintin. It read, “Dear Nancy, thank you for sending me your letter. I’m OK in heaven and being looked after well by the angels. I know you are sad that I’m not there with you but please don’t be...” Nancy finished reading the comforting words, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing the happy smile back on her daughter’s face, Tamara felt a huge burden lifted from her shoulders.
Tamara shared the story on the Internet hoping to find the sender. The heartwarming story soon went viral online, and thanks to the efforts of those sharing her post, she got in touch with Clive. Tamara conveyed sincere thanks to him for that valuable letter. “Nancy really needed one final goodbye. When she learned that Tintin was OK without her being there to look after her, she started to get over the loss,” Tamara said. Relieved and delighted, the kind-hearted postman Clive responded that he just did what anyone else would have done.

M: Okay. Then, I’d prefer not to travel or go out much with friends during this vacation. I would like to stay home, enjoy your home-cooked meals and watch films together with you and Dad!
