It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a traveler's 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 " Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysteriouspainting of the smiling woman. But the Louvre is much more than a home to the "Mona Lisa". 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 Florence, ItalyWalking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace-like structure with frescoes （湿壁画）decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers will be deeply impressed by the works by Botticelli,such as "The Birth of Venus.”Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.21.Which of the following enjoys the greatest popularity?A.The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.B.The LouvreC. The Bames FoundationD. The Uffizi22. What makes the Barnes Foundation special?A. Its structureB. Its historyC. Its locationD. Its collection23.What type of writing is this text?A travel guide. B. An exhibition announcementC. An art show review.D. An activity posterB“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags, "You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago."Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that what they are saying is （a）not nice and （b）not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）.I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that aperson would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor （传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the "in group". In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority （优越感）.Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with islaughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.24.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to .A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose25.An important negative effects of gossip is that it .A. breaks up relationshipsB. embarrasses the listenerC. spreads information aroundD. causes unpleasant experiences26.Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can .A.provide students with written rulesB.help people watch their own behaviorsC.force school to improve student handbooksD.to attract the police's attention to group behaviors27.What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never becomea gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Don't let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossipCDo you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating （振动），only to find that it isn't?This phenomenon, which scientists call "phantom（幻觉的）phone vibration", is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.So, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: It is eithervibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isn't. Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm.”Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything.This is just like the fire alarm in your home—it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But tha t’s a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you. Now, you might still ask: why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals? The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. "You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can't deal with all that information all the time, " Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.For example, the rustling（沙沙声）of clothing or the growling （咕咕声）of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone—it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating. It isn't too much trouble to do that, is it?28.According to this passage, phantom phone vibration .A.is common among people with mental problemsB.happens when our brains react too sensitivelyC.can measure people's ability to collect informationD.helps our brains to make decisions quickly and accurately29.Why did the author use the example of fire alarm in this passage?A.To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.B.To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.C.To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.D.To convince us it's important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.30.According to Michael Rothberg, which mainly accounts for phantom phone vibration?A. A lack of much attention.B. A noisy background.C. An overflow of sensory information.D. A heavy burden every day.31.What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?A.We should always fully believe our own sense of hearing.B.We should just check our phones when we think they're vibrating.C.We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.D.We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.DA MENTORING （导师制）program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said, "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences that will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook. "“We try to create work experience opportunities which will make a really great difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships （实习）with world - famous firms such as Honda.""At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that—it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October, the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's（UNESCO）International Youth Forum（论坛）.The event was held for young people all over the world to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundreds of observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn'tstop. It was amazing. " he said, u We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."The main theme of the forum was how youth can bring about change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. " The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For more details visit www. younginspiratiom. com.32.Why is the Young Inspirations mentoring program set up?A.

One of the reasons, I believe, is that you might be very shy to talk confidently with your classmates. Maybe you are afraid that your classmates will make fun your accent. However, it is natural for you to feel lonely occasionally. As far as I was concerned, with your effort, you can manage to overcome your difficulties. To start with, you may as well learn to speak Mandarin, which can be good understood by all the Chinese. Besides, comparing note with your classmates frequently is a good way for you to make new friends. Last but not least, you had better take the part in more school club activities, that you can express your ideas and know about others. I do hope we can adapt to the new school life as soon as possible.
