AExhibitions in the British MuseumHokusai: beyond the Great WaveKatsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is widely regarded as one of Japan's most famous and influential artists. He produced works of astonishing quality right up until his death at the age of 90.This new exhibition will lead you on an artistic journey through the last 30 years of Hokusai's life—a time when he produced some of his most memorable masterpieces.25 May—13August 2017Room 35Adults￡12,Members/under 16s freePlaces of the mind: British watercolour landscapes 1850-1950Drawn from the British Museum's rich collection, this is the first exhibition devoted to landscape drawings and watercolours by British artists in the Victorian and modern eras—two halves of very different centuries.23 February—27August 2017Room 90Free, just drop inScythians: warriors of ancient SiberiaThis major exhibition explores the story of the Scythians—nomadic tribes and masters of mounted warfare, who flourished between 900 and 200 BC.

A health report.BHow do you get to Carnegie Hall(卡内基音乐厅)? “practice, practice, practice” is the well-known answer. But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.The Afghan Youth Orchestra(AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation. “Music for me is a language of peace,” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life,” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldn’t even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano,” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true,” he said. “It is everyone’s dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”And he has more dreams. “I have a dream to continue my education in America,”he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the king of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she’s heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn’t yet had a chance to listen to them.Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet,” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall’s famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.24. What is Gulalai’s opinion on music?A. It makes people understand each other.B. It calms her down in the war.C. It is a kind of violent language.D. It saves her from the killing at war.25. What is Milad’s final aim?A. To play a real piano.B. To serve his country.C. To further study.D. To play in Carnegie.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Classical music is not played in Afghanistan.B. Gulalai knows Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber well.C. The music Gulalai and Milad can hear is limited.D. Milad likes Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.27. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Traditional Afghan MusicB. Young MusiciansC. A Better PerformanceD. A Peace in MusicCYelp, the San Francisco Internet company that makes reviews of restaurants and other businesses across a large part of America, is getting into the food delivery business.Today, the company has announced that it has agreed to acquire Eat24, a food company that delivers food to homes on behalf of partner restaurants. Yelp is paying $134 million for the company—$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20,000 restaurants in more than 1,500 cities all over the U.S.On Yelp's reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the company is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.“If you're looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant,”Yelp co－founder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”The move is just one way that some of Internet's most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments company Square bought Caviar, a high－end quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, which aimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of income, and it can also help these companies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.28. How does Yelp pay for the company Eat24?A. Totally by cheque.B. Totally in cash.C. Partly in stock.D. Only in credit.29. What can customers NOT do on the new Yelp's website?A. Finding the restaurants they like.B. Booking a restaurant they like.C. Ordering food to their door.D. Enjoying much cheaper food.30. What does the underlined word “acquire” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Bargain.B. Claim.C. Request.D. Purchase.31. From the passage, we can infer that many companies ________．A. begin to set up their own food branchesB. make little money from their existing businessC. begin to attach importance to food delivery makingD. give up the present business and turn to food makingDSelf-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.While Mcity can be used to simulate many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, firstly considered using text as a way to communicate the car’s intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean. Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.Then came the big challenge—testing the signals on real road, “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless car.”The team designed a car seat costume that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield, which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?32. What did the team use as a way to communicate the car’s intention?A. Light.B. Language.C. Symbols.D. Sound.33. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Symbols.B. Drivers.C. Researchers.D. Flashes.34. What does a rapidly flashing light mean?A. The car was coming to a stop.B. There was no driver in the car.C. The car was about to speed up.D. The car was about to slow down.35. The car seat costume was intended to_______.A. amuse the driverB. attract the pedestrianC. warn the cyclistsD. confuse the people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。
