AThe British MuseumWhat’s onAlthough many parts of Asia have long been connected through trade along Silk Road and shared religious systems, there are strong regional differences. In addition to various languages, Asia has developed its cultural networks, patterns of government, technology and styles of artistic representation.The diverse cultural life of Africa has been expressed through everyday cooking objects and unique works of art since ancient times. The Museum’s collection of over 200,000 African items includes archaeological and contemporary material from across the continent.The Iron Age was a time of big change for the people of Britain and Europe. Iron replaced bronze as the material used to make tools and weapons, while religion, art, daily life, economics and politics changed greatly.Admission and opening timesThe Museum is free and open daily 10:00-17:30 except Friday, and is open until 20:30 on Fridays, except Good Friday. The Museum is open every day except for 24,25 and 26 December and 1 January.Museum shopsBookshopMonday-Thursday 10:00-17:30 Friday 10:00-20:00Saturday 10:30-17:30 Sunday 10:00-17:30Collections shopMonday-Thursday 09:30-17:30 Friday 09:30-20:00Saturday 09:30-17:30 Sunday 10:00-17:30Getting hereBy TubeNearest underground stations:Tottenham Court Road(500m) Holborn(500m)Russell Square(800m) Goodge Street(800m)By busBuses that stop near the Museum:1,8,19,X25,38,55,98,242By carThe Museum lies within the Congestion(拥堵)Charge Zone.

He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize(交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new-born cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle(摔跤).T hey’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, the owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.24. Why did Jack come to our home?A. I cared for an eyeless cat.B. I didn’t mind whether he was blind.C. No other young cats kept him company.D. My friend begged me to take him home.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.26. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. TroubleB. FunC. LuckD. BusinessCIt’s a familiar feeling.Your friend has made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in you asks, why him and not you?Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don’t possess now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness are part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.So is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions? Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it the encouragement you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find out exactly the circumstances(情况) and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion or their new car? Envy shows us the things we’d like to have-so make up a plan to earn what’s imp ortant to you. Sign up for a night class. Start a training program. Give up a treat or two, and start saving for what you want.And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy y our best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special, and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.27. The first paragraph is intended to ______.A. give examplesB. tell the main ideaC. introduce the topicD. ask questions28.When envy appears, we actually______.A. ignore its existenceB. have feelings of unfairnessC. share it with friendsD. lose something of our own29.What is the best way to help stop envy?A. Developing your own strengths to the full.B. Competing for what you are not good at.C. Forgetting about the things you can’t get.D. Trying to get anything that makes you envy.30. What’s the author tone in the passage?A. CriticalB. ObjectiveC. UnconcernedD. WorriedDIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom,I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.31. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the authorC. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college32. In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.A. the long trackB. the poor housesC. the same trainD. the winding road33. Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.A. a warm welcomeB. the sight of poke greensC. Dorothy’s latest projectsD. a big dinner made for her34. What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.C. She passed the required assessment.D. She received her Ph. D. degree.35. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.C. However poor you are, you have the right to education,D. Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
