AThis list of the most visited museums in the world will give you plenty of ideas for top museums to see on your own travels.The Prado Museum is the main Spanish national art museum, located in central Madrid. It is widely considered to have one of the world's finest collections of European art, dating from the 12th century to the early 20th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and the single best collection of Spanish art.

Yet one city has found a way to make its train journeys more bearable, while promoting literature at the same time.On t wo train lines in Beijing, China, the subway cars have been turned into libraries. But they’re not your traditional libraries. Instead of hard copies of the books, the subway cars contain audiobooks, as part of a promotion for a Chinese audiobook app. The app has teamed up with the city of Beijing to promote literacy.However, the cars are still beautifully decorated to look like real bookshelves. The walls, and even doors, of the cars feature artistic drawings of the available books’ covers. Passengers can still browse the books just like in any other library on the screen, and once they’ve made their selection, they can scan the QR code on the “cover” of their chosen book. The QR code leads to the audiobook app, where the passengers can listen to the audiobooks for free. And they still have access to the books even after leaving the train!The app is called Dedao, which translates to “Get.” Thanks to the subway cars’ makeover, the app gets attention, and the commuters discover new stories every time they take a ride. And we think they’re all the better for it. Listening to audiobooks really can make your commute more enjoyable—it’s one of the things successful commuters do.If libraries with physical copies of books are more your thing, you can find plenty of those in China, too. In fact, in one Chinese library, the books go on forever!5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Commuting to and from work is a major source of stressB. Train journeys should be more bearableC. Subway cars contain hard copies of the booksD. This City Transformed Its Subway Cars Into Moving Libraries6. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the text?A.

The passengers can browse the books before they make their choice.7. What does the underlined word "available" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. convenientB. accessibleC. committedD. effective8. What is the correct order of the following events?① Make a choice② Listen to the audiobook for free③ Scan the QR code on the cover④ Browse the booksA.④①③②B. ①④②③C. ②①④③D. ③④②①CWhy do we travel? It is a question asked by historians, neuroscientists and anthropologists (人类学者) alike. Why are we driven, physically, intellectually and emotionally, to reach out beyond the horizon toward the unknown; to explore, connect and communicate? That question motivates Peter Frankopan’s splendid study, from prehistory t o the present, of the book Silk Roads: “the axis (轴线) on which the world spun”.The plural is important. Historically, the Silk Roads were a network, not a single highway. The geographical centre of this narrative is Asia Minor, Central Asia, the Caucasus, China and the Middle East; territories that met and traded with one another along main routes of communication. Frankopan freely admits to a boyhood enthusiasm for the region, a zone that for all its centrality remains doubtfully exotic (异国风情的) on our world maps.Now director of the Centre for Byzantine Research at Oxford, Frankopan has a pressing reason to promote the Silk Roads’ history from cultural relegation. How shamefully we in the West have been caught in the 20th and early 21st centuries with our strategic trousers around our ankles, failing to remember why the map of the Middle East is drawn with such straight lines. Our ancestors would have been horrified by today’s ignorance. Ancient reports of the region would put many modern memos to shame.Frankopan’s study, subtitled “A New History of the World”, reminds us that traffic – physically and culturally –typically runs two ways, and certainly did along the Silk Roads. Throughout, he relies on tight economic analysis: silk was, after all, not simply a luxury good but an international currency, too.We do history and the human experience a harm if we follow a linear (直线的) narrative through time, imagining it to be unidirectional or neatly boxed. Across time and space we are all connected; we all rise and fall. Globalization might be fashionable, but it is not new.9. What is the purpose of Paragraph One?A. To answer the question raised by historians and anthropologists.B. To ask the question why we explore, connect and communicate.C. To explain why the world spun on the axis.D. To introduce to readers a book by Peter Frankopan.10. Why does Peter Frankopan write the book The Silk Roads?A. Because the Silk Roads are an important plural historically.B. Because he narrates the geographical centre of the world.C. Because he was interested in the region since he was a child.D. Because there is no doubt the book seems exotic.11. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT according to the text?A. The Silk Roads is strictly based on economic analysis.B. We should follow a linear narrative through time.C. Traffic ran physically and culturally along the Silk Roads.D. People are all connected across time and space.DEvery year some countries move their clocks forward in the spring only to move them back in the autumn. To the vast majority of the world who doesn't participate in this strange clock fiddling(拨弄) — it seems a baffling thing to do. So what’s the reason behind it?The original idea, proposed by George Hudson, was to give people more sunlight in the summer. Of course, it’s important to note that changing a clock doesn't actually make more sunlight. That’s not how physics works.But, by moving the clocks forward an hour, compared to all other human activity, the sun will seem to both rise and set later. The time when the clocks are moved forward is called Daylight Saving Time, and the rest of the year is called Standard Time.This switch effectively gives people more time to enjoy the sunshine and nice summer weather after work. Hudson, in particular, wanted more sunlight so he could spend more time adding to his insect collection.Wh en winter is coming, the clocks move back, presumably because people don’t want to go outside anymore. But, winter doesn't have this effect on everyone. If you live in a tropical place like Hawaii, you really don't have to worry about seasons, because they pretty much don't happen. And so, Hawaii is one of two states in the Union that ignore Daylight Saving Time.But, the further you travel from the equator in either direction, the more the seasons assert themselves, and you get colder and darker winters, making summer time much more valuable to the locals. So it's no surprise that the further a country is from the equator, the more likely it uses Daylight Saving Time.The Germans thought Daylight Saving Time would conserve energy. The reasoning goes that it encourages people to stay out later in the summer and thus use less artificial lighting.12. Why do some countries move their clocks forward in the spring?A. They actually make more sunlight.B. They physically give people more sunlightC. People seemingly have more time to enjoy the sunlightD. The sun probably rises and sets later.13. What does the word "baffling" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. understandableB. unbelievableC. confusingD. reasonable14. Which of the following country or district is likely to use Daylight Saving Time?A. HawaiiB. GermanyC. BeijingD. Phoenix15. Which of the following statement is true according to the text?A. The clocks move back when winter is coming, because everyone in the world doesn'twant to go outside anymore.B. The further a country is from the equator, the less likely it uses Daylight Saving Time.C. The Germans thought Daylight Saving Time would not save energyD. Unlike other states of America, Hawaii applies Standard Time.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。
