Tate Modern, London, UK
Together with three other Tate museums, Tate Modern located in London is a national museum of international modern art. It is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. Most of the exhibit items are open to the public for free, only charging for major temporary (临时的) exhibitions.
The Louvre, Paris, France
It is the world's largest and most visited art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace, the museum has been added to many times since its opening in 1793. Its glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Chinese American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, and it later became a signature design of the museum, appearing in the hit thriller The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

Why was Steinbeck Controversial?
John Steinbeck was a very controversial writer during his lifetime. Why would his writing be upsetting to some people?
Expert Answers
Jamie Wheeler, Certified Educator
Steinbeck wrote about what he saw honestly. During the Great Depression, he wrote about poverty and displacement (人们的离家). During World War Ⅱ， he wrote about the war (The Moon is Down). That honesty was upsetting to many people who preferred to think of America uniformly as “the land of the free and the home of the brave”．
The socio economic status of those displaced by society, either by our government or by others, was something Steinbeck would repeatedly address in In Dubious Battle, Tortilla Flat, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and so on. Although he was repeatedly accused of being a communist, nothing could be further from the truth. Furthermore,
Steinbeck worked tirelessly as a war journalist during the Vietnam War and was a speech writer for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. His love for our country is more than evident in one of his last published works, a nonfictional account of his crosscountry travels, Travels with Charley. Despite all of evidence to the contrary, however, Steinbeck continues to be branded as antiAmerican for his criticism of the treatment of our citizens, especially in The Grapes of Wrath.
Steinbeck is also controversial because of his determined refusal to keep writing novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Despite its being arousing the rebellion, booksellers didn't mind cashing in on its popularity in the least. They were less than thrilled when Steinbeck refused to produce any more novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Instead, Steinbeck insisted on taking on new forms and themes.
Katem Schults, Certified Educator
John Steinbeck wrote about underprivileged populations—groups of people who had tough times surviving and would sometimes turn to any means necessary. Literature is a reflection of ourselves and our society. Many people don't like to be reminded of the unpleasant sides of our society, especially when there's no easy solution for these people.
Another consideration is Steinbeck's motive. Many people don't appreciate it when artists use underprivileged groups for their artistic value.
24．In Jamie Wheeler's opinion, why was Steinbeck controversial?
A．Steinbeck was too honest in life.
B．Steinbeck didn't love his country.
C．Steinbeck was a communist and was antiAmerican.
D．Steinbeck described the unpleasant sides of America.
25．Which of Steinbeck's works is about his own experiences?
A．The Moon is Down.
B．In Dubious Battle.
C．Travels with Charley.
D．The Grapes of Wrath.
26．Why were booksellers less than thrilled at Steinbeck's refusal?
A．Steinbeck refused to go on writing as a writer.
B．Steinbeck's books were not as popular as before.
C．They couldn't make much money from his books.
D．Steinbeck's books were arousing the rebellion.
27．According to the second expert, what do many people think of Steinbeck's motive?
A．He wanted to reflect the reality of the society well.
B．He took advantage of the poor for his own interest.
C．He wanted to find out solutions for the poor people.
D．He decided to remind readers of the unpleasant sides.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that lets machines do things that require “thinking”. It is a hard term to define (下定义) because AI isn't actually one thing. Rather, it's a group of technologies that help machines acquire, understand and use information to perform tasks. The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms when mentioning AI.
Recent developments of AI have received a lot of media attention. Although some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible, the attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution. In particular, many are concerned about the effects AI could have on people's jobs.
Unfortunately, the media excitement is often a distraction (令人分心的事物) that causes people to miss an important point. Since AI isn't just one thing, we aren't waiting for it to be invented. Rather, the technology is experiencing a long development process. AI isn't coming. It's already here. We aren't living in a world controlled by computersyet. But we are living in a world that relies more and more on AI for better efficiency.
Newspapers, design companies and film studios are all making use of the technology. Often the technology is used to do the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks so that professionals can work more productively. Admittedly, the tasks AI does are often the things done by low or entrylevel employees. But that hasn't necessarily spelled the end for human workers.
In recent years, for example, AIdriven translation has dramatically increased the amount of material a human translator can process each day. But the easy availability of translation has also led to an increased need for translators. As a result, the industry and its human translators often struggle to keep up with demand.
There is no doubt that AI is changing how we live and work in very complex ways. That makes AI an important trend to watch, but not to panic about yet.
28．What can we learn about AI?
A．Various names can be used to refer to it.
B．Media are concerned about its efficiency.
C．Machines can't do anything without AI.
D．Media mostly hold a negative view on it.
29．How does the author feel about the media excitement?
A．Approving. B．Ambiguous.
C．Uncaring D．Misleading.
30．Why does the author mention AIdriven translation?
A．To prove that AI will replace humans in the end.
B．To stress that AI is far better than human translation.
C．To claim that AI pushes human to be better than before.
D．To state that AI has developed dramatically in recent years.
31．What is the most reasonable structure for the passage?
I＝introduction P＝point Sp＝subpoint C＝conclusion

Golden eagle talons (爪) may have been of symbolic value to Neanderthals (尼安德特人) who lived 130 000 years ago, according to a new study.
Researchers found that the prehistoric humans were hunting eagles for their talons and feathers rather than for their meat, like they did other birds, such as crows.
Eagle bones and talons have been found across dozens of sites in central and western Europe occupied by both Neanderthals and humans. Researchers looked at how frequently eagle bones were found in prehistoric human sites to see if they were more common among Neanderthal societies. The team not only found golden eagle remains at 26 sites, but that they had cut marks along the wing bones suggesting that the feathers were carefully calculated. Three eagle talons with small matching cuts were found in a Neanderthal site, suggesting they were threaded on a necklace.
The findings suggest that the bones were used to decorate necklaces, making it more believable that Neanderthals led much more advanced lives than originally thought. Before the Neanderthals disappeared, they coexisted with humans who came from Europe around forty thousand years ago. It was assumed that Neanderthals finally disappeared because humans were smarter but according to the new research by The Gibraltar National Museum, this wasn't the case.
To see if this was just because golden eagles were more common at the time, researchers compared the marked bones with those unmarked ones found in caves. The team said that golden eagle talons stood out as being “more likely” to show marks from human involvement, indicating that they were preferred.
“If you're doing things with feathers and claws, it's going beyond purely functional and there's something symbolic there，” said Clive Finlayson at The Gibraltar National Museum. “Everywhere there are historic examples of people using eagles, they were treated as a symbolic species，” David Frayer of the University of Kansas told the New Scientist. “Neanderthals weren't treating eagles as meat, like they did crows but they were choosing them for talons and feathers. I think that's a strong piece of evidence that Neanderthals had the same kinds of feelings about eagles as more recent people.”
32．Why did Neanderthals hunt golden eagles?
A．To eat their meat.
B．To show their religious belief.
C．To cut marks to record things.
D．To make decorations on their necklace.
33．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The Neanderthals. B．The research team.
C．The remains. D．The golden eagles.
34．What can we know about Neanderthals from the text?
A．Neanderthals' civilization developed higher than people once assumed.
B．Neanderthals didn't eat crows because of their symbolic value.
C．Neanderthals' sites were occupied by humans from Europe.
D．Neanderthals preferred golden eagle's meat.
35．What's the main idea of the text?
A．Golden eagles accelerated the extinction of Neanderthals.
B．Neanderthals used golden eagles talons for decoration.
C．Golden eagles had a symbolic meaning to Neanderthals.
D．Neanderthals made a difference in human development.

A buildityourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U．S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. __36__， since it's hard to find natural substitutes. All you need, though, are a 5'×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole
four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher's productivity. __37__. Then lay the tube in place, thus one end of it rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.
__38__. You must secure the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone (圆锥体) with 45degreeangled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
__39__. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube. __40__
A．Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet
B．Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole
C．Secondly you put a tube through the hole directly
D．The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic
E．Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you
F．You won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink
G．These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt

“I'm __45__ their shells，” she replied. “Anything on a turtle's shell, like algae (藻类), reduces the turtle's ability to absorb __46__ and blocks its ability to swim. It can also weaken the shell over time.”
“Wow! That's really nice of you！” I __47__. “But don't most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and dirt hanging from

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother's Day, so he usually tried to make it “back home”， but this year he was just too busy and too tired. When he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “How many roses can I get for six dollars, Miss？” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses，” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because they are her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, so he looked at the girl and whispered to her that he would pay for the boy's roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out of the store. It was worth more than thirtyfive dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove away. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地)．

How many of you drink Coca－Cola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink, but as a cure for headache back in the late eighteen hundreds?
John S. Pamberton, a doctor from Atlanta had experimented for many months to find a cure for the common headache. He worked at his home mixing and heating oils with other materials until he found one mixture that seemed to have good effect on headache.
He began to sell the mixture in drugstores. The customers had to mix it with water before drinking.
Then，how did cola change from a drug to a soft drink? That came about quite by accident. One day a patient who was suffering from headache came into a drugstore. He asked for a bottle of cola. He wanted to take it right away，so he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. It so happened there was no boiled water at the store. The clerk suggested mixing the drug with soda water. The customer agreed. After drinking it, the customer said it tasted wonderful. The clerk continued
offering the mixture，and cola gradually became popular.

People used to say “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”
Some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be paid equally as men.
Today the best jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Women want these things changed.
The women's liberation movement was started by women who didn't want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men，with the same chance for success. The movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree with its purpose. But it has already made several changes in women's lives, and men's lives, too.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
Eric stopped his car and followed the boy. The boy went up to a small grave stone, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret that I didn't say it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn't I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you? Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret that I didn't tell you I love you so much！”
Paragraph 2：
Eric went into his car in tears. His mother's home wasn't far from here, but he hadn't seen her for a long time. He didn't have a talk with her for a long time and never said how much he loved her. He turned the car and drove towards the direction to the flower shop quickly. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
