The area surrounding the museum will be busy before being opened. We advise you to arrive a few hours before or several hours after the opening time to avoid high traffic times. Directions From the 110 Freeway, take the Exposition Boulevard exit and head west toward Vermont Avenue. Turn left on Bill Robertson Lane. The museum’s newly opened Car Park will be on your 11 left hand side and cost $12. Parking The museum’s parking lot fills up quickly on game days. We suggest arriving early in the day. All guests and members who plan to visit the museum may park in the museum’s Car Park. If the museum’s Car Park is full, parking is also available in the state-run Lot 3 across the street. Parking in this lot will cost$12(cash only). Remember that cars parked in Lot 3 after 5:30 pm will be issued a parking citation(罚单).

Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain. Scientists came to his conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson. Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject. Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown. Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would feel, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task. “ However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group. 11 Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.” More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that it’s not that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful,” Lyons said. Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests. 58. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _____. A. see whether math hurt. B. find out how much they fear math C. observe how their brain response D. test their endurance of pain 59. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to overcome math fear. B. Physical pain affects math performance. C. Math pain in your brain. D. Unknown truth about pain. 60. What can be concluded from the experiment? A. The anticipation of math has no relation to students’ confidence in math. B. Moderate mathematic anxiety promotes students’ academic performance. C. Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students’ anxiety of math. D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem. C It’s 5pm on a Friday and I'm standing in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing - one of the most busiest place in Japan where more than a thousand of Tokyo’s smartly dressed people gather at eight points, ready to cross - then rush straight for each other. It looks like they must bump into each other, but It’s amazing that they all manage to reach the other side safely. But the real reason I'm here is that I want to see people crash. I want businessmen to knock into each other, their umbrellas flying off their arms, and uniformed schoolchildren hitting grannies. Why may I see this now, but wouldn't have had the chance even a year ago? It’s very simple - smartphones. Smartphone use is booming in Japan. In 2012, only about a quarter of Japanese used them, most being perfectly happy with their everyday mobiles. But now more than half of all Japanese now own a smartphone and the number is rising fast. But with that rise has grown another phenomenon - the smartphone walk. Those people who're staring at a phone screen adopt this kind of pace- their head down, arms outreached, looking like zombies(僵尸)trying to find human prey(猎食). Surprisingly, an American named Michael Cucek who has lived here for more than 20 years told me smartphone walk probably wouldn’t be a long-term problem. Japanese phone manner is in fact better than anywhere else in the world - hardly anyone speaks on their phones on trains, and teenagers wouldn't dare broadcast music out of one. If things got truly bad at Shibuya, the police 11 would just start shouting at people to look up. But really, is the smartphone walk such an annoying problem? There's only one way to find out. So I leave the coffee shop, head down to the crossing and start typing an email, promising myself I won't look up until I get to the other side. When they start walking past me, it's my time to cross. As I step forward, the experience quickly becomes nervous - legs jump in and out of my vision without warning, while shopping bags fly towards my face before being pulled away at the last moment. I'm sure I'm going to get hit, but after a few seconds I relax. It’s OK. Everyone's reacting for me. I expect to see two smartphone walkers just like me. But instead I find a young couple, very much in love and very much refusing to let each other’s hands go just to give way to a fool on his smartphone. The girl gives me such a look of dislike that I quickly apologize and rush round them. That look was enough to ensure I'll never be smartphone walking again. 61. Why does the author stand in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing? A. Because he is waiting for somebody. B. Because he can have a good view from there. C. Because he wants to see what would happen because of smartphones. D. Because it’s interesting to see businessmen’s umbrellas flying off their arms 62. How does Michael Cucek find smartphone walk in Japan? A. He found it by accident when he lives here. B. Japanese pay much attention to their phone manner in public. C. The police in Shibuya are too strict with people’s phone manner. D. Smartphone walk in Japan has a deep root. 63. How does the author confirm whether smartphone walk is annoying or not? A. By personal experimenting B. By comparing with other way of walk C. By giving example. D. By explaining the traffic rules patiently 64. After smartphone walking himself, the author thinks___________. A. it’s exciting to walk while sending emails B. it’s really dangerous to walk while sending emails C. there are some others smartphone walking like him D. other passers-by give way to him although they dislike. D Spanish explorers called them Las Encantadas, the Enchanted Isles, and Charles Darwin used his studies of the islands as the foundation for his theory of natural selection. The Galapagos are among the world's most important scientific treasures, a group of volcanic islands surrounded by deserted beaches and inhabited by unique varieties of giant tortoise, lizards, and birds. Yet life on this United Nations world heritage site has turned sour. Battles have broken out between fishermen and conservationists. Ecuador, which owns the islands, has sent a naval patrol (海军巡逻队) to put down disturbances. The controversial director of the Galapagos National Park—which controls 97 percent of Galapagos land and the reserve extending to 40 miles offshore—has been fired, while an air of uneasy tension hangs over the islands, as the islanders prepare for election when they pick their representatives in Ecuador’s national assembly. “It’s a very tense situation,” said Leonor Stjepic, director of the London-based Galapagos Conservation Trust, which raises money to help projects on the islands. “We are watching it with 11 concern.” The violence has been triggered by an alarming growth in the islands’ population. Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, housed just 45 inhabitants in the 50s. Today there are more than 10,000, while the islands' total population is more than 19,000 and growing by 6 percent a year, despite recently introduced a law to limit waves of immigrants fleeing the poor areas of Ecuador for a life “in paradise (天堂)”. On top of this, more than 100,000 tourists visit the islands every year. Such numbers have put the islands, special ecology under intense pressure. Conservationists backed by the Ecuador government, have replied by exercising strict controls to protect the islands’ iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and giant tortoises. These moves have angered many local people, however. They want to exploit (开发利用) the islands’ waters and catch its protected species of sharks, lobsters and sea cucumbers, which can fetch high prices in Japan and South Korea. Angry fishermen surrounded the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz last February, threatened to kill Lonesome George—the last surviving member of the Pinta Island species of the Galapagos giant tortoise. The situation got improved after the Ecuador government made concessions (让步) by increasing fishing quotas (配额), which angered conservationists. “It is tragic, the short-term gain of a few fishermen versus the long-term survival of the Galapagos,” said John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences. “They are killing the golden goose.” Then, the Ecuador government appointed Fausto Cepeda as the national park's new director, a post that has become a political football for the mainland government. There have been nine directors in the past 18 months. This appointment was particularly controversial, however. Cepeda was known to have close ties with the fishing industry, and the rangers (管理员),who run the national park and reserve, rebelled. More than 300 staged a sit-in at the park’s headquarters and prevented Cepeda from taking up his post. A battle broke out, and at least two people suffered serious injuries. Eventually, Cepeda—with the fishermen’s help- entered the park. “I am in office, I am in control. And I am trying to lower the tension,” he announced. The Ecuador government took no chances, and sent a patrol boat to maintain the peace. A few days later, Ecuador Environment Minister Fabian Valdivicso met representatives of rangers. After discussions, he told newspapers that he had decided to remove Cepeda from the post. However, as the population continues to rise, the long-term pressures on the islands are serious and will not disappear that easily. “We have to balance its special environment with the needs of local people. In that sense, it is a microcosm (缩影) for all the other threatened parts of the world. So getting it right here is going to be a very, very important trick to pull off,” said Stjepic. 65. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.The island’s swelling population B.The law to limit waves of immigrants C.A life in paradise D.The tourists’ visiting the islands every year 66. How significant were the islands for Charles Darwin? A.He based his theory on his studies there. B.He built the Charles Darwin research center there. 11 C.He advocated the balance between ecology and people there. D.He found the last surviving giant tortoise there. 67. What is the primary contributing factor to the conflict between conservationists and fishermen? A.The dismissal of the previous director of the Galapagos National Park B.The exploitation of the islands C.The government's support of Galapagos Conservation Trust D.Cepeda’s close tie with the fishing industry 68. We can learn from the passage that _______. A.the projects of Galapagos Conservation Trust on the islands are profitable B.conservationists get angry when fishermen are killing a goose C.politicians from the mainland government play football on the islands D.the government is trying to ease the tension 69. In the last but one paragraph, what does the author mean by “The Ecuador government took no chances”? A.The government did not seize opportunities. B.The government made no compromises. C.The government did not run risks. D.The government shrank from responsibilities. 70. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The islands have much in common with other islands in the world. B.People are eager to solve the environmental problems to improve local industry. C.The solutions here could be significant reference to the places facing the same crisis. D.The government wants the conflict solved properly just for its special environment. 第II卷(非选择题,共35分) 任务型阅读 (共10小题:每小题1分满分 10分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 These days, if we’re not staring at our smart phones, we’re sitting in front of computers. And more than half of office workers have reported the symptoms of eyestrain. How do you protect yourself? The rapid advance of technology over the past two decades has meant that many of us spend a considerable portion of the day staring at screens, whether that’s our smart phone or our office computer. As a result, studies have shown that between 50% and 90% of office workers have eye strain or associated health issues such as eye-twitching, red eyes, headaches and fatigue. So, how can you make things easier on your eyes? If you work on a computer every day, experts recommend having a eye exam at regular intervals to detect problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. You should also measure the amount of space from your eyes to your screen at work and tell your doctor, so your eyes can be tested at that distance. The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus. Studies on computer-related eye strain suggest that screens should be no closer than 40cm (16in) from your face. If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text, rather than moving the screen closer. Besides, it’s important to try to take regular breaks from staring directly at a screen, to give your eyes a chance to rest and rehydrate. While surveys have shown that many office workers take 11 no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it’s recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen, which in turn helps make your eyes comfortable. Glare is the biggest causes of screen-related eye strain. You can reduce it by ensuring that you are using your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough. If your device is consistently brighter than your surroundings, this will lead to eye strain and fatigue. Something else that can help is an anti-glare screen filter on your monitor or phone. If you wear glasses, some experts recommend buying lenses with anti-reflective coatings. You can also take steps to make your screen easier on your eyes, such as making the text larger, increasing your device’s refresh rate to ensure less flickering of the screen, and shifting the screen’s color levels away from the blue end of the spectrum and towards the softer yellow end. This is important, because the retina(视网膜) contains blue-light-sensitive molecules; some studies have suggested that using screens with blue light constantly can damage the retina. Introduction The rapid advance of technology has led to a majority of office workers (71)________ from eyestrain and other health problems (72)_____to avoid eyestrain *Get (73)________ eye tests Tell doctors relevant information, including your (74)_______ of using your phones or computers and the distance from your eyes to the screen. *Give your eyes space It is recommended to keep your screen at a (75)________ of 40cm. *Take breaks Your levels of eyestrain are much (76)________ with 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen. *Reduce glare As a major contributor to eyestrain, glare can be reduced by minimizing the quantities of light (77)________ from screen. *Make your (78)________ more eye-friendly You can (79)_______ the text or increase your device’s refresh rate. Besides, turning the screen color from blue to yellow also helps because constant (80)_______ to blue light is reported to damage the retina. 第三部 分 书面表达 (满分25分) 81. 请认真阅读下面这幅图片及相关文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 Today, as our lives have greatly improved, do we still need this so-called “hardship education”? According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily, 81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas, outdoor training, taking part-time jobs, and doing housework. 11 Qiao Yu, from Tianjin Foreign Languages School, also supports the idea “Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society, ” said the 18-year-old, who worked in a cake store this summer. But while it contributes to students’ development, “hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer, ” Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily. “It should follow teenagers’ growth. ” Sun said that students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties, for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds. 【写作内容】 l. 以约30个词概括图文的主要内容。 2. 以约120个词谈谈你对“吃苦教育”的理解和个人看法,并给出2~3点理由。 【写作要求】 l. 可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子; 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称: 3. 不必写标题。 【评分标准】 概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,语篇连贯。 11查看更多
