A woman held her phone tightly to her heart. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people, who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Youn g’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more reasonable than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming unimportant.”
4、What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?
A. To get her phone.
B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo.
D. To push ahead.
5、How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?
A. By compromising with the government.
B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By setting periods without photo-taking.
D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
6、What may the use of social media in museums bring about?
A. Museum-owner’s lower profits.
B. Exhibits’ damage to appearance.
C. Professionals’ lack of tolerance.
D. Visitors’ distraction of real focus.
7、Which of the following may Linda Butler support?
A. Catering to visitors.
B. Reducing admission prices.
C. Reserving judgement in public.
D. Banning social media and photography.
Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.
drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
8、What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means?
A. Aim.
B. Problem.
C. Result.
D. Step.
9、Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past?
A. They were dependable.
B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive.
D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
10、What is the function of Paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
11、Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future
B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars
D. Best Means of Transportation
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit —I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
12、What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
13、Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.
A. people dislike those who love luxuries
B. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
C. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
D. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
14、What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself?
A. Be selective about designer labels.
B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles.
D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
15、The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
B. tell how to express yourself through appearances
C. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
二、七选五
16、Here a few famous people may give you some helpful tips on how to choose the right books to read.
● Read books from past eras.
①_________Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
●②_________
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep you from forming a lasting impression. Seneca the Younger suggested that “you must linger (逗留) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works rather than in larger quantities.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that traditional
libraries can’t bring to you. ③_________
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ④_________ “Trust their tastes.” said Mortimer.
● Make the final decision by yourself.
⑤_________It’s you yourself who should choose what, how an d when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Great authors are great readers.
C. Leave some room for older works.
D. Learn more about those great authors.
E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.
F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.

)”以及空前“Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack.
