It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers' desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.The Louvre in Paris, FranceProbably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the MonaLisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the MonaLisa. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, AmericaJust opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.The Uffizi Gallery in F lorence, ItalyWalking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace­like structure with frescoes (湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over (印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli, such asTheBirthofVenus. Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.21. Which of the following is the most popular?A. The Louvre.B. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.C. The Barnes Foundation.D. The Uffizi Gallery.22. What makes the Barnes Foundation particular?A. Its structure.B. Its collection.C. Its location.D. Its history.23. What type of writing is this text?A. An activity poster.B. An exhibition announcement.C. An art show review.D. A travel guide.BMy shoe lesson number one.Back in my days as a salesman, I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I wa s wearing running shoes for an important speech.I knew I could buy a new pair when I landed. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat has been replaced with a single idea. The next mornin g, I began my speech, “You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, it’s about this request here. When I’m done speaking, I’ll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.” My little “goof-up” became a clever demonstration (示范) of action speaking louder than words.My shoe lesson number two.My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife’s shoes broke. So off to the nearest shoe store we flew. We knew they wou ld wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.That day, my wife performed amiracle (奇迹) that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes. Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, contrary/opposite to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man/woman. But the lack (缺乏) of shoes can surely build character.24. Upon thinking of his shoes on the plane, the author felt________A. proudB. delightedC. panicky and tenseD. encouraged25. What does the underlined part “goof-up” probably mean?A. ImageB. MistakeC. SuccessD. Present26. Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it _________.A. strange to be in a dilemma/trouble for a second timeB. a great pity to have to miss his brother’s weddingC. important to test the quality of a new pair of shoesD. unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time27. What’s the message the author shows in the text?A. Emergencies can help shape our character.B. You can never judge a person by his looks.C. It’s hard to change our character overnight.D. Never buy shoes without trying them on first.CIn the United States and several other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their hometowns. Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires (裁判员) to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms. Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to pla y teams that are more distant. Eventually, the top teams go to the Little League World Series.One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings (局) than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World WarⅡwhen the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe. Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year.At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally, a Little Leaguer becomes a professionalplayer. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues, ten of them as an All－Star player. By and large, youngsters play baseball for fun, but their parents are proud of them.28. The mothers and fathers of Little League players ________．A. play in the World SeriesB. travel with coachesC. give the teams moneyD. help run the games29. In what year was Little League established?A. 1839B. 1939C. 1955D. 173930. Why do most players take part in Little League?A. To play in the Major League.B. To have fun and please their parentsC. They expect a profit from All－Star games.D. They want to learn how to serve as umpires.31. What is TRUE about players today?A. Little League is only for neighborhood boys.B. Girl players have to buy their suits.C. Girls and boys can participate up to age eighteen.D. Children can only play until age twelve.DIn many countries, heart disease kills a lot of women and even more men. There are four major causes of this disease and these are smoking, poor or bad diet, a family history of heart disease and stressful work. Among these main wrong-doers, the most common cause is stress.What is stress and how do you feel when you are under stress? Imagine you live alone –you are lying in bed at night and, suddenly, you hear someone in the kitchen. Immediately your heart begins to beat very fast and you feel that you can hardly breathe. What you are felling is not stress, but fear. However, your body changes in the same way when you feel stress. That means that if you feel anxious and worried during an important examination, your heart may beat very fast and you may feel breathless too. You are experiencing stress.Another common situation in which a person is likely to feel stress is to have to do something, for example, performing a boring duty, every day.Let us look at the case of Annie who was a nurse. She felt a lot of stress in her work and began to have very bad headaches at the end of the day. Each morning she woke up more tired than she was when she went to sleep. She did not want to go out in the evening with her friends and she felt unhappy all the time.Finally, she sat down and thought about her life. She saw a lot of illness and death in her work but that was not the reason why she was under stress. The real reason was that she felt unable to make a positive decision in her job – she had to do what the doctors and sisters told her.So, Annie went back to college for further study. When she graduated, she found a job where she was part of a team, as before, but where she had responsibility in making decisions. Her working hours were longer and her work more difficult than when she was a nurse but she enjoyed it. She felt she was in control of her life and her work. For Annie, stress in her old job had made her change her life and end a difficult situation. Stress in her new job became a good thing because it helped her achieve satisfaction in her life and in her work.32. Feeling _______ is one form of stress.A. tiredB. aloneC. anxiousD.breathless33. According to the passage,______ die of heart disease.A. most menB. more men than womenC. more women than menD. both men andwomen34.When Annie was a nurse, she felt no real ______ in her work or in her life.A. unhappinessB. breakdownC.satisfaction D. responsibility35. What is one major difference between Annie’s new job and her old one?A. It included team work.B. It demands higherqualifications.C. It ensures satisfaction.D. It involvesdecision-making.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。
