The museum first appeared in human civilization 2,500 years ago, which has been keeping
reinventing itself to become an interactive cultural center. Here are some of the museums worth
visiting. It’s time to decide your next travel destination.
The Musée du Louvre, Paris, France
It is the world’s largest art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre
Palace, the museum has been extended many times since its opening in 1793. Its eye-catching glass
pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, a Chinese American architect, and it
later became a symbol of the museum.
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, US
Commonly known as the Met, the museum is among the must-visit attractions in New York. It
stands on the eastern edge of Central Park. The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian,
Oceanian, Byzantine and Islamic art. Every May, the museum holds the luxurious, blockbuster Met
Gala, grabbing global attention like the Oscars.
National Museum of China, Beijing, China
Near Tian’anmen Square in Beijing, it’s one of the largest museums in the world and the second
most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering a time span from 1.7 million
years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum boasts around 1.05 million items—and many cannot be
found in museums elsewhere.
Vatican Museums, the Vatican City
If you are into Roman history and Renaissance art, the Vatican Museums will be your ideal
destination. Along the exhibition route, visitors can enjoy the marvelous Sistine Chapel decorated by
Michelangelo and the Stanze di Raffaello decorated by Raphael.
1.What do we know about the Musée du Louvre

Lionel Messi, who shone at the Qarta World Cup, is a well-known name even to those with no
interest in sports. Even though he is shorter than most of his teammates, he rises above his opponents
with adept skills and a legendary ability to score goals for his team.
Lionel Andres Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in the warm city of Rosario, Argentina. He was
the third child in a tight-knit (亲密的) hard-working family who loved football. Naturally, young Leo
developed a passion (热爱) for football himself.
At four years old, Leo joined the Grandoli local club, where he was coached by his father. When
he was eight, Leo joined the talented Newell Old Boys. Football soon became as important as the air
he breathed. Messi practiced day in and day out, skipping outings with his friends to train at home
before a game. The sport made him quite happy and motivated and he began to dream of becoming a
professional footballer.
But as he grew older, his height remained the same. His concerned parents eventually took their
11-year-old son to a doctor, who broke the news that the boy suffered from a growth hormone
deficiency (生长激素缺乏). This meant he was physically unable to grow unless he received special
treatment, which would last three years and cost $1, 500 per month.
Stories of a 13-year-old boy who had similar talents to legendary Argentinian footballer Diego
Maradona had reached the ears of FC Barcelona’s technical director, Carles Rexach. Intrigued, he
sent an offer to the Messi family. If he passed, the club would cover his medical bills, but on the
condition that Messi moved to Spain. So, in September 2000, Leo and his family uprooted their lives
and flew across the Atlantic to Barcelona.
Coach Carles was so impressed that he offered Leo a contract on the only thing he had at hand-a
paper napkin. Leo signed it, opening the door to the life he had always dreamed of.
4.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.To introduce the topic. B.To attract readers.
C.To advertise the World Cup. D.To share an experience.
5.Why did Messi want to become a professional footballer
A.He wanted to satisfy his father.
B.He had a great love for football.
C.He was good at playing football.
D.He wanted to prove his ability.

Disastrous floods in eastern Libya killed at least 5,100 people, according to local authorities. The
disaster comes after a series of deadly floods around the world this month, from China to Brazil to
Greece. In every case, extremely heavy rain was to blame.
The enormous loss of life on many continents strengthens the extreme danger caused by
climate-driven rainstorms, and the need for better warning systems and basic facilities to protect the
most vulnerable (脆弱的) populations.
Climate change makes heavy rain more common, even in dry places where the total amount of
rainfall is small. That’s because a hotter atmosphere can hold more moisture. Everyday rainstorm, as
well as bigger storms such as hurricanes, are increasingly dangerous as a result. In Libya, a storm
called Daniel swept in from the Mediterranean over the weekend and resulted in a jaw-dropping 16
inches of rain in just 24 hour, according to the World Meteorological Organization. That is far too
much water for the ground to absorb, especially in a dry climate where the soil is dry and is less able
to suck up water quickly.
The massive amount of rain caused widespread flash flooding, and damaged at least one dam
near the coastal city of Derna. That released torrents of water powerful enough to sweep away entire
neighborhoods. In Brazil, flooding from a hurricane last week killed more than 20 people and left a
large piece of southern Brazil underwater. Cities around the world are hurrying to improve their basic
facilities to handle increasingly common heavy rain.
The disasters in the last two weeks also stress the vulnerability to climate change of people who
are not wealthy or who live in places that are at war. While extreme rain has caused floods around
the world recently, the number of the death is significantly higher in places where there isn’t money
or political will to maintain basic facilities and enough weather warning systems.
8.What led to the floods in Libya
A.Extreme rainfall. B.Wet climate.
C.Severe hurricane. D.Broken facilities.
9.What does the underlined phrase “suck up” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Separate. B.Supply. C.Store. D.Absorb.
10.How do the floods affect people
A.They lead to people’s union. B.They cost people their lives.
C.They inspire people to struggle. D.They make people become strong.

11.What is the text mainly about
A.Floods linked to climate change. B.Floods in Libya and their causes.
C.The needs of disaster preparedness. D.Climate change impact on poor areas.

Building artificial intelligences that sleep and dream can lead to more dependable models,
according to researchers who aim to mimic (模仿) the behavior of the human brain.
Concetto Spampinato and his research members at the University of Catania, Italy, were
looking for ways to avoid a phenomenon known as “disastrous forgetting”, where an AI model
trained to do a new task loses the ability to carry out jobs it previously excelled at. For instance, a
model trained to identify animals could learn to spot different fish species, but then might lose its
ability to recognize birds. They developed a method of training AI called Wake-Sleep Consolidated
Learning (WSCL), which mimics the way that our brains reorganize short-term memories of daily
learning when we are asleep.
Besides the usual training for the “awake” phase, models using WSCL are programmed to have
periods of “sleep”, where they analyze awake data from earlier lessons. This is similar to human
spotting connections and patterns while sleeping.
WSCL also has a period of “dreaming”, which involves novel data made from combining
previous concepts. This helps to integrate previous paths of digital “neurons (神经元)”, freeing up
space for future concepts. It also prepares unused neurons with patterns that will help them pick up
new lessons more easily.
The researchers tested three AI models using a traditional training method, followed by WSCL
training. Then they compared performances for image identification. The sleep-trained models were
2 to 12 percent more likely to correctly identify the contents of an image. They also measured an
increase in how much old knowledge a model uses to learn a new task.
Despite the results, Andrew Rogoyski at the University of Surrey, UK, says using the human
brain as a blueprint isn’t necessarily the best way to boost AI performance. Instead, he suggests
mimicking dolphins, which can “sleep” with one part of the brain while another part remains active.
After all, an AI that requires hours of sleep isn’t ideal for commercial applications.
12.WSCL was developed to help improve AI’s ______.
A.reliability B.creativity C.security D.popularity
13.What do models using WSCL do during the “sleeping” periods
A.Generate new data. B.Process previous data.
C.Receive data for later analysis. D.Save data for the “awake” phase.
14.What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A.The application of WSCL. B.The benefits of AI research.
C.The findings of the research. D.The underlying logic of WSCL.
15.Which best describes Andrew’s attitude towards the sleep-trained models
A.Cautious. B.Prejudiced. C.Pessimistic. D.Unconcerned.

Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people, so it’s beneficial to
know how to eat more mindfully. Here are some techniques for eating at a healthy pace.
Remove all distractions while you eat. 16 Make sure your cell phone is face down
and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Take enough time to finish your meal. Even with all distractions removed, very often you still
find yourself eating faster than you should. 17 It takes about that time for your body to get
the signal to the brain that you are full.
18 You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich. One way
to slowdown is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself:
What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell, the taste and whatever
other senses that arise as you eat.
Limit the amount of the food you might munch on(大口吃) mindlessly. Put a small amount of
snack food, like potato chips, in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. 19
Putting aside some of the food can help you eat less at a healthier pace.
Actually chew. If you’re wolfing down(狼吞虎咽) your food you’re probably not chewing it.
And chewing is an important part of digestion. 20 Look at each bite before putting it into
your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and chew, chew, chew.
A.Notice all the little details about your food.
B.Limit your time for a meal within 20 minutes.
C.It helps break up the foods so it’s easier for absorption.
D.Watch out for your food intake and the time you spend on it.
E.When you sit down to eat, spend at least 20 minutes doing so.
F.If you have a whole bag of it, it is challenging to stop after several bites.
G.They can limit your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full.

While so many birds visit our leafy garden every year, it’s the pair of tawny frogmouths (茶色夜
鹰) that have been returning for years to 21 their young that bring the most excitement.
It’s been wonderful to observe how both parents take on the 22 duty of caring for their
young.
Last summer the frogmouth family, parents and two babies, was 23 sitting in a tree
close to our back deck 24 the late afternoon sunshine. With little 25 , dark
clouds emerged, and 26 rain began to fall.

At first the birds seemed to enjoy the rain and moved out along the branch, fluffing up (抖开)
their feathers to 27 the wet weather. But within minutes, day turned to night. Dark clouds
brought a 28 heavy storm; crashing thunder and blinding lightning, wild winds and
driving rain turned the garden into a(n) 29 place for the little family.
Through the flashes of lightning, we watched in 30 as the parents guided their
young back along the branch until they were all gathered close to the tree trunk, both parents
spreading their wings over their young to 31 them from the rain. When the storm
passed, the family walked 32 out along the branch and spread their wings to enjoy the
sunshine.
When I look up at the pair of tawny frogmouths who continue to 33 our garden, I
know I’m not just looking at 34 parents, but very 35 ones.

When I was young, I always dreamed of playing the piano and giving performances to a large
audience in a concert hall. However, I struggled to understand the musical notes and the theory.
Despite my parents’ encouragement and offer of piano lessons, I pretended not to be interested, too
afraid to try.
Many years passed until one day, at 25 years old, I heard that a new piano studio had opened in
my neighborhood. The teacher was recruiting (招收 ) new students. My childhood dream came
flooding back.
I remembered I had initially feared becoming a teacher after graduation. However, I overcame
those doubts. I refused to let fear hold me back any longer, so I walked into the studio.
The teacher, Deb, welcomed me warmly. I was relieved to find we were contemporaries (同时

代的人) and expressed my desire to play the works of Bach and Beethoven if I could overcome my
fear. Deb understood and seemed sincere, so I signed up for 3 months of classes. Still doubtful about
my commitment, I bought a small, tabletop electric organ to practice with at home. It wasn’t the
same as a real piano, but enabled me to learn some basics.
Week by week, I attended lessons in Deb’s studio. I often passed young students on their way
out from their lessons before mine. One day, noticing the textbooks in my bag, a child stopped me
and asked, “Where’s your boy ” After some hesitation, I finally answered I was the student. The
children then welcomed me and I sat in the studio and listened to a piece a child was working on.
Soon, I gained confidence and upgraded to a full-size piano at home for daily practice. After
three rewarding years of lessons with Deb, she announced it was time for me and other students to
prepare for a recital (钢琴演奏会 ) on stage. I was thrilled at the chance to finally fulfill my
childhood dream, yet also anxious at the thought of performing before the audience. But Deb
believed in me. “Look how far you’ve come,” she encouraged. “It’s time to share your gift with
others.”
Paragraph 1:
I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.”

old knowledge a model uses to learn a new task.(研究人员使用传统的训练方法测试了三个人工智能模型,然后
进行了WSCL训练。然后,他们比较了图像识别的表现。经过睡眠训练的模型正确识别图像内容的可能性
要高出 2%到 12%。他们还测量了模型在学习新任务时使用的旧知识的增加)”可知,第 5段的主要内容是研
究的结果。故选 C。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the results, Andrew Rogoyski at the University of Surrey, UK, says using
the human brain as a blueprint isn’t necessarily the best way to boost AI performance. Instead, he suggests
mimicking dolphins, which can “sleep” with one part of the brain while another part remains active. After all, an AI
that requires hours of sleep isn’t ideal for commercial applications.(尽管取得了这些成果,英国萨里大学的安德
鲁·罗戈伊斯基表示,使用人类大脑作为蓝图并不一定是提高人工智能性能的最佳方式。相反,他建议模仿
海豚,海豚可以在大脑的一部分“睡觉”时,另一部分保持活跃。毕竟,需要长时间睡眠的人工智能并不适合
商业应用)”可知,安德鲁对睡眠训练模特是谨慎态度。故选 A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。世界卫生组织表示地球上几乎每个人都呼吸着不健康的空气,并且该组织还提
出了一些能有效缓解空气污染的方法。
36.考查代词。句意:世界卫生组织在 4月 7日世界卫生日之前更新了空气质量。分析句子结构可知,空
处应使用形容词性物主代词 its,在句中作定语修饰 air quality。故填 its。
37.考查定语从句。句意:最新报告称,世界上 99%的人口呼吸的空气超出了世卫组织的空气质量限制。
分析句子结构可知,该句为限定性定语从句,先行词是 air,指物,且从句中缺少主语成分,因此可使用关
系代词 that/which引导。故填 that或 which。
38.考查非谓语动词。句意:生活在低收入和中等收入国家的人们呼吸着质量最差的空气。分析句子结构
可知,句中已有谓语 breathe,空处需使用非谓语动词,且主语 people与 live 之间是逻辑上的主动关系,因
此需使用现在分词,作定语,表示主动。故填 living。

要性。”分析句子结构可知,and前后连接的词应在词性、比较级等方面保持一致,且此处表示“更健康的”,
因此需使用其比较级形式,healthy的比较级为 healthier或 more healthy。故填 healthier或 more healthy。
42.考查名词。句意:报告补充说,高昂的天然气价格、能源安全、空气污染的危险以及气候变化意味着
世界必须减少对化石燃料的依赖。分析句子结构可知,空处与 high gas prices和 the dangers of air pollution
为并列关系,因此空处需使用其名词形式,security“安全”是不可数名词。故填 security。
43.考查动词时态。句意:世卫组织的报告包括许多改革建议。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中需作谓语,
主语 The WHO与 include之间是逻辑上的主动关系,且全文使用了一般过去时,为保证时态一致性,空处
也应使用一般过去时。故填 included。

46.范文
Good morning, everyone.
Aiming to cultivate our spirit of labor, our school will kick off a meaningful Labor Education Week. Here, it's
my great honor to deliver a speech whose title is "Labor-A Traditional Virtue".
Our school will organize various labor practice activities, ranging from gardening,cooking to handicrafts. I had
once an opportunity to participate in such a labor experience program organized by our class. We spent a whole day
working at a local farm, planting vegetables, and doing various physical tasks. Although it was tiring, I felt a great
sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the
value of labor. Labor not only helps us develop a strong work ethic but also teaches us essential life skills such as
teamwork, responsibility, and perseverance.
Labor is a traditional virtue that embodies the cultural essence of Chinese nation..Let’s take action and create a
brighter future with our hands and wisdom.Thank you for your attention.
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。劳动是我国的传统美德。假定你是李华,你校将举办劳动教育活动周,
请以“Labor -A Traditional Virtue”为主题,写一篇演讲稿。
47.Paragraph 1:
I shook my head and told her, “No, thanks.” Deb insisted, saying it would be a valuable experience for me to
perform on stage. After much persuasion, I finally agreed. After days of hard practice, I bravely sat on stage
between kids, as the only adult. After the fourth child played, I was introduced. My heart raced as I positioned my
fingers over the keys before the large audience. I took a deep breath and began to play. Soon I became fully
absorbed in the music, my fingers gliding smoothly over the keys.
Paragraph 2:
When I finally finished my performance, I faced the audience and bowed. Applause rocked the hall, which
was the appreciation of my playing and performing on stage. The audience, including my proud parents and friends,
rose to their feet clapping. Many took photos to capture the moment. I smiled broadly and took two more bows. If I
had given in to my fear, I’d have missed this wonderful experience. I was so glad I finally achieved my childhood
dream, thanks to my courage, determination, and my teacher Deb’s encouragement.
