If the regular weekly closing day falls on a national holiday, most museums will open on the holiday and close the next day instead.‎ Some museums have extended hours on certain days (typically Fridays), and some offer free entrance to selected exhibitions or on certain days of the month. Most museums allow entry until 30 minutes before closing time.‎ Tokyo National Museum ‎ ‎ Hours: 9:30 to 17:00 (extended hours on some Fridays and weekends)‎ Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a holiday), New Year holidays Admission: 600 yen As the oldest and largest museum in Japan, it is made up of five buildings, each like a separate museum in itself. They house the largest collection of national treasures and important cultural items in the country.‎ National Museum of Western Art Hours: 9:30 to 17:30 (until 17:00 in winter, until 20:00 on Fridays)‎ Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a holiday), Dec 28 to Jan 1‎ Admission: 420 yen, special exhibitions extra This museum displays western art, primarily by European artists.

We can learn from the text that the Tokyo National Museum ________.‎ ‎    A. is the oldest and largest museum in Asia B. has the largest collection of artwork in Japan ‎    C. has a 360 degree virtual theater ‎   D. is full of Japan’s national treasures ‎23.

This reminds you to compare the cost of local gyms. Then you suddenly decide to look up some place for your birthday party.‎ You may think you are browsing the Internet in a slightly absent-minded manner. You are, in fact, “wilfing”. According to a survey for a financial website, almost seven in ten Internet users admit to the newly named habit. The study of 2400 people carried out by YouGov found that more than a quarter of Internet users wilf ---- a rough acronym(首字母缩略词) of What Was I Looking For? ---- for two days every month.‎ Pete Cohen, GMTV’s resident life coach and motivator, said, “Stopping yourself wilfing takes a mixture of planning and willpower. These days there are all manners of website attracting our attention. Internet users need to set themselves a specific surfing goal and a time limit to keep on track.”‎ Shopping in the online activity is most likely to make users wilf. Men are more likely to admit to being wilfers than women. A third of the men questioned said the habit had damaged their relationship with a partner. The good news is that wilfing is a habit people tend to grow out of. Internet users aged 55 or over were three times less likely to wilf than those aged under 25.‎ Jason LIoyed, from moneysupermarket.com, said, “The Internet was designed to make it easier for people to access the information they need quickly and conveniently. Although people log on with a purpose, they are now being offered so much choice and online distractions that many forget what they are there for, and spend hours aimlessly wilfing instead. It’s important that people do not allow unnecessary online distractions to get in the way when surfing in the Internet, as it can affect productivity in the workplace and relationship at home.”‎ Are you a wilfer, lost in the Internet?‎ ‎25. What is an efficient way to stop wilfing according to the passage?‎ ‎   A. Stopping taking a mixture of planning and willpower to keep on track.‎ ‎   B. Trying to focus on different subjects at the same time.‎ ‎   C. Trying to set a surfing goal and a time limit.‎ ‎   D. Logging on the Internet all the time.‎ ‎26. It can be concluded from paragraph 4 that ______.‎ ‎   A. men are less likely to be wilfing than women ‎   B. wilfing damages the relationship between partners ‎   C. as you grow older, you’ll become more and more wilfing ‎   D. one third of Internet users will be wilfers lost on the Internet ‎27. What can be called “wilfing” according to the passage?‎ ‎   A. You spend hours aimlessly surfing the Internet every day.‎ ‎   B. You suddenly decide to look up some information about clothes.‎ C. You are accessing the information you need quickly and conveniently.‎ D. You are browsing some of your emails which haven’t been checked for months.‎ C The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. Rut many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.‎ Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.‎ The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.‎ But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airhnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.‎ Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and I trouble for hosts' neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that I hey are not fire traps and that they don't form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.‎ Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.‎ The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers' ability to earn a minimum wage.‎ This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, hut that doesn't mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.‎ ‎28. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?‎ A. It is a global trend.‎ B. It is beyond regulations.‎ C. It draws on spare resources.‎ D. It brings in modest profits.‎ ‎29. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?‎ A. They are not regularly inspected.‎ B. They are likely to commit thefts.‎ C. They are not allowed to escape taxes.‎ D. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.‎ ‎30. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?‎ A. Whether it guarantees customers' safety.‎ B. Whether it provides reliable services.‎ C. Whether it lowers customers' expenses.‎ D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.‎ ‎31. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?‎ A. Existing regulations and laws.‎ B. Necessary improvements of current laws.‎ C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.‎ D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.‎ D Outside her cottage, old Mrs. Taylor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.‎ They watched nervously as she took a broomstick to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly —signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack(干草堆).‎ The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Crawling further along the branches, they could clearly see the haystack.‎ Mrs. Taylor was standing on a wooden box with the new-laid egg in one hand. Placing the egg in her pocket, she readied herself to climb down. Then, without warning, the box broke under her and she crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.‎ ‎“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.‎ ‎“What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”‎ After thinking for a while, Julia said “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”‎ Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.‎ ‎“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”‎ The boys didn’t need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Taylor would not regain consciousness and turn the girls into frogs.‎ Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was s o lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when 1 fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.”‎ The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!‎ ‎32. Mrs. Taylor stopped sweeping when_______.‎ A. her doorstep became very clean B. she heard the hen making sounds loudly C. she noticed the children in the tree D. her cat Michael managed to get her attention ‎33. Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Taylor when she fell ?‎ A. He thought that she could be cheating them.‎ B. He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.‎ C. He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.‎ D. He knew he and the others shouldn’t have been in her tree.‎ ‎34. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?‎ A. Slowly.            B. Hurriedly.‎ C. Carefully.         D. Quietly.‎ ‎35. Which of these old sayings best summaries the lesson from story?‎ A. Make hey while the sun shines.‎ B. Never judge a book by its cover.‎ C. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.‎ D. People in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 ‎ People who are accustomed to setting goals are extremely successful in all aspects of their lives. Do you want to become one of them? Then, start setting your goals now. Here’s how you can do that.‎ Know the things you would like to achieve.‎ Get a pen and paper. Then, find a place where you can be alone and where you can think clearly.  36 Think of those things that you’ve always wanted but are unable to pursue.‎ Write you goals where you can see them every day.‎ Write them in a form of positive, encouraging statement. For example, you can say “I’ll eat less meat and eat more vegetables and fruit for the next several days to lose at least 1 kg, this week. 37 ”‎ ‎38  ‎ Figure out all the things that you can do to realize your goals. For example, if you want to make more money without sacrificing your family time, you can think about starting your own business. 39 You may need to go back to school to get the needed information or to acquire the needed skills and resources.‎ ‎ 40  ‎ As crazy as it may sound, there are so many people who want things that will not do them any good.
