The museums contain roughly 70, 000 works, of which 20, 000 are on display mainly in over 54 galleries. You will find classical sculptures, tapestries, and paintings by Renaissance greats such as Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Lconardo da Vinci. They also have a collection of Modern Religious Art with works of artists like Carlo Carr, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Salvador Dali, and Pablo Picasso.With the intention of using art as a vehicle to spread culture, the Vatican Museums have been designed to be “a place of beauty and welcome”. It is a space that is not only open to new forms of art but also to people from all walks of life.Where Are the Vatican Museums Located?The Vatican Museums are located within the Vatican City, which is also home to the famous Vatican Gardens. Located in the direction of the Tiber River, just a stones throw away from the Castel Sant Angelo, the Vatican is one of the richest areas of Rome in terms of culture and history.Nearest Metro Station: OttavianoOpening HoursMonday to Thursday: 8:30 AM-6:30 PM (Final entry 4:30 PM)Friday to Saturday: 8:30 AM-10:30 PM (Final entry 8:30 PM)Visitors are required to leave the halls 30 minutes before museum closing time.Days closed: 1 November, 8 December, and 25 December21What do we know about the Vatican Museums?AThey consist of 54 galleries.BThey are far away from Sant Angelo.CThey welcome all classes of people.DThey are located in the wealthiest area.22When can visitors enter the museums?AAt 9:00 PM on 1 January.BAt 8:00 PM on Saturday.CAt 5:00 PM on Wednesday.DAt 10:00 AM on 8 December.23Where can the text be found?AIn a history book.BIn a travel diary.CIn a geography forum.DIn an art magazine.BFor her 85th birthday, I gave my mother an iPad. Shed never used a computer. She had a trying relationship with her TV remote control and a miserable track record with her cell.She was keeping on a tablet because she knew people who had them and she believed that if she couldnt keep up with technology, shed one day find herself in a computerized kitchen, “unable to open a can of soup”.Our first task was email. She quickly learned the fundamentals, but couldnt see the point of emailing when she could phone or visit in person.Next, we tackled Netflix. Mom was a movie lover with an appetite for murder mysteries. She was astonished by the amount of crime thrillers that Netflix has on offer. One Saturday she called because she was having trouble logging onto Netflix. I suggested it might require an update. “They probably have fewer people working as its a long weekend,” she told me.Mom is a reader, so we downloaded the library app and signed her up for an e-card. Now she regularly downloads e-books herself. When they are not immediately available, she puts them on hold and forgets about them.She became curious about all the icons, so we set up a weekly tutorial, which takes place over the phone, each of us with our iPads. One day, I struggled for 45 minutes to help her find he search bar. “It looks like a magnifying glass,” I kept saying. Finally, she asked: “You mean the frying pan?”We speak on the phone every day. Now, we also FaceTime, Zoom and email. She powers through e-books, marveling that she can check them out in the middle of the night. She watches TV series and knows whats trending. But she has not yet successfully surfed the Net. She would like to read the newspaper, but pop-up ads and sidebars are problematic. She “accidentally” touches them and then ends up on some strange pages.I cant wait for the day when we can sit down in person and surf the Net together. Meanwhile, its great to see how much her confidence has grown. Yesterday, she FaceTimed me. “Ive made a resolution,” she announced. “Im going to learn how to operate every piece of technology in the apartment including the TV remote.”24Why did the authors mother decide to learn to use the tablet?ATo keep pace with times.BTo connect with her family.CTo follow her friends advice.DTo better organize her kitchen.25What do we know about the mothers learning experiences?AShe no longer emailed others.BShe was addicted to e-books.CShe could identify all of the icons.DShe was troubled by the pop-up ads.26Which words best describe the authors mother?AFun and creative.BBrave and hardworking.CPatient and honest.DCurious and determined.27What can we learn from the story?AIts never too late to learn.BTime and tide wait for no man.CActions speak louder than words.DTechnology is a double edged sword.CWhen planes have a problem, analysts can usually figure out what went wrong by checking the planes “black box”, which records exactly what was happening to the plane at the time. Similarly, theres something for people. Developed for astronauts, a small device celled the CPOD does for people what black boxes do for airplanes.Under the leadership of Stanford University professor Greg Kovacs and engineers Carsten Mundt and Kevin Montgomery, researchers have developed a compact, portable and wearable device a single piece of equipment that gathers a wide variety of vital signs of astronauts in space. About the size of a computer mouse, a CPOD is worn around the waist. Its comfortable enough to be worn while sleeping. Its non-invasive. It takes only minutes to don. Importantly, it can track a persons physiologic functioning as they go about their normal routine they dont have to be tethered to some fixed device. It can store data for eight-hour periods for later downloading; alternatively, it can send the data wirelessly, in real time, to some other device.“This is a new tool,” says Kovacs. “It allows monitoring of the body without invasion of the body without tethering the person down, letting them go about their normal business.”For one thing, the CPOD could notice problems before the astronauts even became aware of them. “We have alarms set in our device,” says Mundt. “If the heart rate goes, lets say, above 170, the CPOD would beep, and then the astronaut would know its time to take it easy.” And, in the case of an emergency, the CPOD could provide vital signs within seconds and it could quickly stream that information back to doctors on Earth. The CPOD typically tracks heart performance, blood pressure, respiration, temperature, and blood oxygen levels. Using three tiny accelerometers (加速计), it also tracks a persons movements it can tell whether theyre running, for example, or spinning or tumbling.The CPOD, says Kovacs, is an elegant job of putting the current state of the art in sensors in a compact, integrated package. “Its an incredibly versatile tool,” he says. “Its a medical monitor that just about any doctor can use.” And it can be used just about anywhere. Despite its small size, he says, “its a huge thing a really huge thing.”28What can be inferred about the CPOD?AIts hard for users to carry.BIt can help users fall into a good seep.CIt can monitor users physical condition.DIt takes a long while to send data wirelessly.29Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tethered” in paragraph 2?AStored.BApplied.CTied.DRecorded.30What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?AThe breakthrough of space exploration.BThe function of the CPODCThe challenge of space exploration.DThe complex design of the CPOD31What is the authors attitude to the application of the CPOD?AAmbiguous.BDoubtful.CApproving.DCautious.DWhy did Christopher Columbus, who never set foot on North America, get a national holiday in his name? This is in sharp contrast to Juan Ponce de Leon (who arrived in Florida in 1513), Alonso Alvarez de Pineda (whose ships arrived in whats now known as Corpus Christi Bay in Texas in 1519) and Giovanni da Verrazzano, who reached New York Harbor in 1524.Actually, until the mid-1700s, Christopher Columbus was not widely known among most Americans. It started to change in the 1820s when Italian immigrants began moving to the United States in sizable numbers in search of opportunity and a better life. But the new arrivals were not welcomed by all. They were often described as short in size, dark in skin, cruel and too emotional.These anti-Italian feelings led to one of the largest mass killings in New Orleans in 1891, when 11 Italian immigrants were hanged without trial after police chief David Hennessy, known for his arrests of Italian Americans, was killed. The cruel killing angered Italy, which threatened to cut off diplomatic relations with the US. In an attempt to please Italian government and acknowledge the contributions of Italian Americans on the 400th anniversary of Columbus arrival in South America, President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 declared a nationwide celebration of “Discovery Day”, recognizing Columbus as “the pioneer of progress”. In 1934, President Franklin DRoosevelt made it a national holiday, and in 1971 Congress changed the date from October 12 to the second Monday of October. The first state to officially observe Columbus Day was Colorado in 1906.However, not every state was happy about the national holiday honoring Columbus. Three states with significant native populationsHawaii, Alaska and South Dakotado not observe the day at all. In 1990, South Dakota decided to celebrate “Native American Day” instead In Hawaii the state chose to celebrate “Discoverers Day”, The city of Berkeley in California was the first to declare in 1992 that it would be celebrating “Indigenous Peoples Day” on the same day when the rest of the country would be celebrating Columbus.32Who is the first man to arrive in North America?AChristopher Columbus.BJuan Ponce de Leon.CAlonso Alvarez de Pineda.DGiovanni da Verrazzano.33What can we learn from the text?AItalian immigrants were badly treated in the US.BDiscovery Day is welcomed by the native Americans.CDiscoverers Day is celebrated in every state in the US.DColumbus arrived in the US on the second Monday of October.34In which state was Indigenous Peoples Day first celebrated?AHawaii.BColorado.CCalifornia.DAlaska.35Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?AThe Origins of Different American HolidaysBHow Did Columbus Sail Into the US Holidays?CWhat Is the So-called Indigenous Peoples Day?DA Brief Introduction to Italian Immigrants in the US第二节(共第二节(共 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分分,满分 12.5 分)分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。According to Hina Talib, gratitude is like a secret ingredient to happiness and it gives children the ability to see hope during difficult times. _36_? Heres how he suggests you do it.Help kids show heartfelt appreciationHina Talib says that gratitude is heartfelt only when it has accomplished four key goals, 1) Whether expressing gratitude helps children notice desirable experiences, relationships and gifts, including things they already have; 2) Whether it helps them think about why they have received these things, what it takes for someone to give them, or what leads to them receiving the things; 3) Whether it connects their positive feelings with the people; 4) Whether it encourages acts of appreciation toward givers and the others. _37_.Acknowledge your childs gratitude_38_. But keep the conversation going deeper. Parents can ask what children noticed, felt, thought, and did in moments when the child moved beyond a polite “thank-you” to deeper appreciation.Build gratitude routinesJournaling is a great way to help kids identify and express what theyre grateful for. For older children, Hina Talib recommends a three -good-thing approach: Every night, help them write down three things that went well, made them smile, or they were grateful for that day. Note a few details and how they made them feel. Younger kids can try filling a gratitude box with little notes as a reminder of practising gratitude. _39_. If they like doing it, theyll be more likely to stick with it._40_Parents who have trained themselves to express their own gratitude will likely see kids do the same. It can be as simple as sharing what theyre looking forward to each morning or explaining why theyre leaving a card for the mail carrier. From these conversations, children can learn to be grateful for daily things.ABe a model for gratitudeBPractise pay-it-forward gratitudeCWhen is the best time to talk about itDWhatever you choose to do, k
