Housed in the Louvre Palace, the museum has been added to many times since its opening in 1793. Its glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Chinese American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, and it later became a signature design of the museum, appearing in the hit thriller The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.National Museum of China, Beijing, ChinaNear Tiananmen Square in Beijing, its one of the largest museums in the world and the secondmost visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering a time span from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty (16441911), the museum houses around 1.05 million items many cannot be found in museums elsewhere.State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, RussiaThe State Hermitage Museum is the secondlargest art museum in the world.

Why would his writing be upsetting to some people?Expert AnswersJamie Wheeler, Certified EducatorSteinbeck wrote about what he saw honestly. During the Great Depression, he wrote about poverty and displacement (人们的离家). During World War ， he wrote about the war (The Moon is Down). That honesty was upsetting to many people who preferred to think of America uniformly as “the land of the free and the home of the brave” The socio economic status of those displaced by society, either by our government or by others, was something Steinbeck would repeatedly address in In Dubious Battle, Tortilla Flat, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and so on. Although he was repeatedly accused of being a communist, nothing could be further from the truth. Furthermore, Steinbeck worked tirelessly as a war journalist during the Vietnam War and was a speech writer for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. His love for our country is more than evident in one of his last published works, a nonfictional account of his crosscountry travels, Travels with Charley. Despite all of evidence to the contrary, however, Steinbeck continues to be branded as antiAmerican for his criticism of the treatment of our citizens, especially in The Grapes of Wrath.Steinbeck is also controversial because of his determined refusal to keep writing novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Despite its being arousing the rebellion, booksellers didnt mind cashing in on its popularity in the least. They were less than thrilled when Steinbeck refused to produce any more novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Instead, Steinbeck insisted on taking on new forms and themes.Katem Schults, Certified EducatorJohn Steinbeck wrote about underprivileged populationsgroups of people who had tough times surviving and would sometimes turn to any means necessary. Literature is a reflection of ourselves and our society. Many people dont like to be reminded of the unpleasant sides of our society, especially when theres no easy solution for these people.Another consideration is Steinbecks motive. Many people dont appreciate it when artists use underprivileged groups for their artistic value.24In Jamie Wheelers opinion, why was Steinbeck controversial?ASteinbeck was too honest in life.BSteinbeck didnt love his country.CSteinbeck was a communist and was antiAmerican.DSteinbeck described the unpleasant sides of America.25Which of Steinbecks works is about his own experiences?AThe Moon is Down.BIn Dubious Battle.CTravels with Charley.DThe Grapes of Wrath.26Why were booksellers less than thrilled at Steinbecks refusal?ASteinbeck refused to go on writing as a writer.BSteinbecks books were not as popular as before.CThey couldnt make much money from his books.DSteinbecks books were arousing the rebellion.27According to the second expert, what do many people think of Steinbecks motive?AHe wanted to reflect the reality of the society well.BHe took advantage of the poor for his own interest.CHe wanted to find out solutions for the poor people.DHe decided to remind readers of the unpleasant sides.CArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that lets machines do things that require “thinking”. It is a hard term to define (下定义) because AI isnt actually one thing. Rather, its a group of technologies that help machines acquire, understand and use information to perform tasks. The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms when mentioning AI.Recent developments of AI have received a lot of media attention. Although some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible, the attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution. In particular, many are concerned about the effects AI could have on peoples jobs.Unfortunately, the media excitement is often a distraction (令人分心的事物) that causes people to miss an important point. Since AI isnt just one thing, we arent waiting for it to be invented. Rather, the technology is experiencing a long development process. AI isnt coming. Its already here. We arent living in a world controlled by computersyet. But we are living in a world that relies more and more on AI for better efficiency.Newspapers, design companies and film studios are all making use of the technology. Often the technology is used to do the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks so that professionals can work more productively. Admittedly, the tasks AI does are often the things done by low or entrylevel employees. But that hasnt necessarily spelled the end for human workers.In recent years, for example, AIdriven translation has dramatically increased the amount of material a human translator can process each day. But the easy availability of translation has also led to an increased need for translators. As a result, the industry and its human translators often struggle to keep up with demand.There is no doubt that AI is changing how we live and work in very complex ways. That makes AI an important trend to watch, but not to panic about yet.28What can we learn about AI?AVarious names can be used to refer to it.BMedia are concerned about its efficiency.CMachines cant do anything without AI.DMedia mostly hold a negative view on it.29How does the author feel about the media excitement?AApproving. BAmbiguous.CUncaring DMisleading.30Why does the author mention AIdriven translation?ATo prove that AI will replace humans in the end.BTo stress that AI is far better than human translation.CTo claim that AI pushes human to be better than before.DTo state that AI has developed dramatically in recent years.31What is the most reasonable structure for the passage?IintroductionPpointSpsubpointCconclusionDGolden eagle talons (爪) may have been of symbolic value to Neanderthals (尼安德特人) who lived 130 000 years ago, according to a new study.Researchers found that the prehistoric humans were hunting eagles for their talons and feathers rather than for their meat, like they did other birds, such as crows.Eagle bones and talons have been found across dozens of sites in central and western Europe occupied by both Neanderthals and humans. Researchers looked at how frequently eagle bones were found in prehistoric human sites to see if they were more common among Neanderthal societies. The team not only found golden eagle remains at 26 sites, but that they had cut marks along the wing bones suggesting that the feathers were carefully calculated. Three eagle talons with small matching cuts were found in a Neanderthal site, suggesting they were threaded on a necklace.The findings suggest that the bones were used to decorate necklaces, making it more believable that Neanderthals led much more advanced lives than originally thought. Before the Neanderthals disappeared, they coexisted with humans who came from Europe around forty thousand years ago. It was assumed that Neanderthals finally disappeared because humans were smarter but according to the new research by The Gibraltar National Museum, this wasnt the case.To see if this was just because golden eagles were more common at the time, researchers compared the marked bones with those unmarked ones found in caves. The team said that golden eagle talons stood out as being “more likely” to show marks from human involvement, indicating that they were preferred.“If youre doing things with feathers and claws, its going beyond purely functional and theres something symbolic there， ” said Clive Finlayson at The Gibraltar National Museum. “Everywhere there are historic examples of people using eagles, they were treated as a symbolic species， ” David Frayer of the University of Kansas told the New Scientist. “Neanderthals werent treating eagles as meat, like they did crows but they were choosing them for talons and feathers. I think thats a strong piece of evidence that Neanderthals had the same kinds of feelings about eagles as more recent people.”32Why did Neanderthals hunt golden eagles?ATo eat their meat.BTo show their religious belief.CTo cut marks to record things.DTo make decorations on their necklace.33What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AThe Neanderthals. BThe research team.CThe remains. DThe golden eagles.34What can we know about Neanderthals from the text?ANeanderthals civilization developed higher than people once assumed.BNeanderthals didnt eat crows because of their symbolic value.CNeanderthals sites were occupied by humans from Europe.DNeanderthals preferred golden eagles meat.35Whats the main idea of the text?AGolden eagles accelerated the extinction of Neanderthals.BNeanderthals used golden eagles talons for decoration.CGolden eagles had a symbolic meaning to Neanderthals.DNeanderthals made a difference in human development.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。A buildityourself solar still (蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available.
