Plan Your Visit to the British Museum
We've made a few changes to ensure you can safely enjoy your visit:
How to book tickets
·Tickets for the permanent collection can only be hooked online in advance.
·To book tickets for exhibitions, visit our exhibition pages. If you want to guarantee your visit to the permanent collection as well as the exhibition on your visit, you will need to book a separate ticket.
·We are limiting numbers of people in the museum to ensure there is room for you to safely enjoy your visit. Everyone, including members and volunteers, will therefore need to book a free, timed ticket in advance.

·You can book up to six tickets for people who live in the same family.
·We will email yourticket to you, and you will need to show it either printed out or on your device (设备) when you arrive.
·Please arrive at the time stated on your ticket-we cannot guarantee admission before or after it.

·View a map of the route (Open in a new window).
·Our audio guides (音频指南) are not available. However, youcan pay to download the audio introductions from iTunes (Open in a new window) or Google Play (Open in a new window) to each of the galleries and listen on your own device. Please remember to bring along your own headphones.

With their tiny brains and excellent ability to memorize nectar locations, honeybees are a favorite model organism for studying learning and memory. Such research has indicated that to form long-term memories—ones that last a day or more—the insects need to repeat a training experience at least three times. By contrast, short-and mid-term memories that last seconds to minutes and minutes to hours, respectively, need only a single learning experience.
Exceptions to this rule have been observed, however. For example, in some studies, bees formed long-lasting memories after a single learning event. Such results are often regarded as circumstantial anomalies, says Martin Giurfa of the University of Toulouse. But the anomalous findings, together with research showing that fruit flies and ants can form long-term memories after single experiences, aroused Giurfa’s curiosity. Was it possible that honeybees could reliably do the same? Giurfa reasoned that the ability to form long-term memories might depend on the particular type of bee and the experience. Within a honeybee colony, there are nurses, who clean the hive and feed the young; guards, who patrol and protect the hive; and foragers, who search for nectar.
While previous studies have tested bees as a whole, Ciurfa and his colleagues focused on foragers, tasking them with remembering an experience relevant to their role: an odor associated with a sugary reward.
The researchers observed that a single exposure to a reward-paired odor was enough for most forager bees to remember that specific odor the following day. Many foragers could even remember the odor three day later.
The results do not mean that all prior research was wrong, says André Fiala of the University of Göttingen. “People have done the experiments in a different way.” Still, the new results do show that “the commonly held belief that one needs multiple training trials to achieve long-term memory is not always true,” he says, and this “really advances the field.”
4. What does the author want to tell us through Paragraph 1?
A. A model for memory research.
B. The classification of memories.
C. New research on learning and memory.
D. Previous findings on memory formation.
5. Which factor might influence a bee’s memory of an experience, according to Giurfa’s research?
A. Whether the bee's role is related.
B. Whether the bee is introduced or native.
C. How often the bee repeats the experience.
D. How long the bee is exposed to the reward.
6. What is Andre Fiala’s attitude towards the new results?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Intolerant.
D. Unclear.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning and Memory: How Honeybees Remember
B. Honeybee Memory: Honeybee Knows What to Do
C. Honeybees Remember after Just One Lesson
D. Honeybees Use Memory for Communication
C
The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.
The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.
As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.
Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.
8. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night?
A. They dislike sunshine.
B. They prefer lower temperatures.
C. They can find food easily then.
D. They need to avoid enemies.
9. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3?
A. Pitiful.
B. Careless.
C. Interesting.
D. Courageous.
10. What can we learn about sea turtles?
A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.
B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces.
C. They can live for around forty years.
D. They visit their beach homes several times a year.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The homes of green sea turtles.
B. How sea turtles find their food.
C. The dangers faced by sea turtles.
D. How young turtles become adults.
D
Watching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.
Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.
When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.
The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.
Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast
eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.
12. What are the participants divided by?
A. Medical history.
B. Health condition.
C. Physical activity.
D. Eating speed.
13. Which may be the result of the study?
A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.
B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.
C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.
D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.
14. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?
A. Tasting slowly.
B. Digesting quickly.
C. Eating greedily.
D. Cooking carefully.
15. What does the last paragraph tell us?
A. The importance of eating speed.
B. The advantage of eating slowly.
C. The result of a Chinese study.
D. Fast eating and overeating.

Jackson did not feel good so he stayed home from school today. He did not like to be sick. It was no fun at all.
He got out of his bed and walked into his brother's bedroom. Carter loved cars. He had them all over his room. One sat on his desk in many pieces. Carter loved putting model cars together. Jackson touched one of the black tires. He hoped Carter was home. Carter liked to talk about the model cars as he was putting them together.
Jackson left Carter's room and walked down the hall to the room his twin sisters shared. Ella liked wearing pretty clothes and Madison liked riding her horse. Ella's side of the room was nice and neat. Madison's side was a mess. Ella decorated the wall behind her bed with pictures of girls in fancy clothes. A big poster of a horse was on the wall behind Madison,s bed. Jackson turned and walked back out of the room, tripping over Madison,s cowboy boots as he did. He didn't fall down, but it was close.
As he stood there, trying to remember what it was called, he realized all of his brother's and sisters' rooms looked like the things they loved. Carter had cars in his room; Ella loved fashion and Madison horses. Jackson wondered what his room said about him. He walked back down the hall and stood in the doorway of his room.
His bed was a mess. But he just got out of it, so that was normal. There was a racetrack on his floor, a barn he made out of toy logs, a plastic hat that was part of a magic trick set he got for his birthday, and a couple of plastic dinosaurs lying on their sides. His walls were bare. He felt a little down.
