1.Some are attracted to museums by the art and the culture—but if that isn't enough,there is always the novelty!
Cupnoodles Museum
The Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama,Japan,offers a treat:exhibits can be not only admired,but eaten.Visitors can work in the museum's noodle workshop,refining creations with their favourite ingredients.While doing so,one can also learn the history of the noodle,one of Japan's most popular foods.
Tenement Museum
At New York's Tenement Museum,visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the 1860s through to the 1980s.The museum opened in 1992 and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms,where costumed"residents"enact the daily lives of the city's newcomers and workers over the period—leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.
Cancún Underwater Museum
As the name suggests,it is underwater.More than 500 sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interaction effect of art and nature.Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.

2.It was a wonderful and sunny day.I,along with my family,stayed in a beautiful,huge beach house,staring out at the ocean.But rather than enjoying myself,I felt like I had hit a button.
I moved my eyes to the ground directly below where I stood,where there was a short blacktop driveway and a few garbage cans.Mike walked here,and I asked him,"What do you think would happen if I jumped right now?"He looked down."I think you'd be okay,"he said."You'd probably just break your legs.If you aimed for the trash cans,they might break your fall."Broken legs sounded pretty good to me,right then.It would mean I wouldn't be able to do much—including work—for a few days.
Clearly,I had made a mistake in switching jobs within my company a few months earlier,and now I had to get myself out of the mess I'd created.I made it known that I wasn't happy,that it wasn't working out,and that I needed to get back to my old group doing what I know and love and do best,which is editing and writing.
But all routes were blocked,and my health was suffering,so my only choice was to leave.After I decide that,the stone in my heart was getting lighter.
The next day,June 6,something unexpected happened.Seemingly out of the blue,I got an email that said I had a green light to move back to my old group.Just like that.
I didn't have to quit.I didn't have to do anything but hug my good fortune and feel grateful that things had basically worked out in my favor.Now that my mind is free of the stress and anxiety I'd been dealing with for the last few months,I think I'll be writing here more.
(1)What is the author's feeling in the beach house?
A.Depression.
B.Calm.
C.Delight.
D.Confidence.
(2)Why did the author make an assumption of jumping?
A.To confirm Mike's words.
B.To kick the trash cans.
C.To escape from the suffering.
D.To observe the blacktop driveway.
(3)What was the decision of the author in the end?
A.He would change his annoying job.
B.He would go back to his old group.
C.He would quit his nice expectation.
D.He would get rid of the stress and anxiety.
(4)What will probably happen to the author next according to the last paragraph?
A.He will work in good condition.
B.He will be good at dealing with stress.
C.He will find a new job.
D.He will share his miserable life.組卷:1引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.About half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by corals.And with climate change threatening coral's survival,marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have seemed impossible.
"We wanted to get into a time machine,go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere,before we started exploiting them and polluting them and killing them all over the world,"Sala said.
The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in 2009.The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean,to see if the vibrant reefs there held any clues that could help them understand how to bring damaged reefs in other parts of the ocean back to health.
"The bottom was covered by thriving(茂盛的) coral.Vivid colors surrounded me—purples,reds,oranges,yellows and greens.It was so beautiful,"Sala said.
His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati.The government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activity.But between 2015 and 2016,record levels of ocean warming damaged half the coral reefs the team had been studying.
After hearing that news,they lost hope for the health of coral reefs.Last year,they went in for another dive.Despite the reported conditions,the reef had somehow restored itself,filled with life and color once more.Sal a and his team were overjoyed.This is something that Sala says can be owed to two key factors.
The first is,thankfully,half of the corals didn't die.Despite the rise in temperatures,there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.The second was the Kiribati government's decision to fully protect those waters.
"It has an abundance of fish.So they were eating all the algae(藻類) that would smother(窒息)the dead coral skeletons and make it impossible for the corals to come back.Luckily,other places like the Caribbean also witness the good change,"Sala explained.
(1)What unlikely goal does Sala have?
A.Schooling people to protect corals.
B.Preventing people from damaging corals.
C.Appealing to people to deal with climate change.
D.Going back to the past when corals were thriving.
(2)What led to the restoration of the coral reefs?
A.Half of the damaged coral reefs restored themselves.
B.A flood of fish ate all the algae covering the dead corals.
C.The government protected waters and survival corals multiplied.
D.The government took measures to stop fishing and human activity.
(3)What can we learn about the Caribbean from Sala's words?
A.It hardly offers enough nutrition to fish.
B.It has also suffered large losses of corals.
C.It is impossible for the corals to come back.
D.It has an abundance of algae.
(4)What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A.How Did the Coral Reefs Restore?
B.Where Are the Damaged Coral Reefs?
C.What Does Biodiversity Show in the Ocean?
D.What Are the Disadvantages of Climate Change?組卷:2引用:3難度:0.5

"Look at the little dog!She's got rain boots!"a girl shouted from across the street.I smiled and waved.Yes,Velma was adorable,but she wasn't my dog.I just volunteered to walk her this morning when my neighbour suffered from a disease called fibromyalgia(纖維肌痛癥).
Arlene was waiting at the door.She thanked me and told me that Velma would get her next walk at noon.Apologetically,I told her I had to be at work.Then,she said they would see me at six. "Great,"I said.I was a quarter block away before it dawned on me that I'd automatically agreed to walk her dog again at six!
That day was just the beginning.All the next week,Arlene reminded me to walk Velma at various times throughout the day.After I got home,I would explain to my friend Callie on the phone,"She talks as if I should feel lucky to walk her dog!If I had this much time to spend on a dog,I'd get my own."Callie advised me to say no to her.But every time I did,I got tongue-tied.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2)請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Finally,I took my courage and told Arlene.
