Here are brief introductions to their histories and exhibits.The University MuseumHaving accumulated over three million academic materials for its collection since the University of Tokyo was founded in 1877, the University Museum is the largest museum of its kind in Japan. From the time of its reorganization into an independent entity (实体) in May 1996, the Museum has held exhibitions over 60 times.The Museum of Health and MedicineThe Museum of Health and Medicine seeks to provide information about health and medicine for the general public and advanced education for students studying medicine. It features both a permanent exhibition space and a temporary exhibition space, with the latter focusing on topics related to medical care and the study of medicine.The Agricultural MuseumThe Agricultural Museum displays materials from the collection of the Universitys Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Science. Notable items on displays include the documents and portraits of scientists affiliated (附属的) with the University, internal organs of Japans famous dog Hachiko, and drawings illustrating German agriculture and the varieties of Japanese cows.The Farm MuseumThe Farm Museum opened in 2007 within a rebuilt dairy barn. The barn was built in 1934 as part of the moving of the University of Tokyos farm from Komaba to Tanashi, an area in western Tokyo. The Museum features both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Permanent exhibitions include European farming implements (工具) used on the Komaba Farm, tools for agricultural experiments, agricultural machinery, American tractors and drawings illustrating German agriculture.21.

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her W.W.W.K.S.5.U.C.O.M teammate Paris White play. The two didnt know each other well Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before. Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“Pariss eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking . I knew it was an emergency.” It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. “Does anyone know CPR?” CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick persons chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didnt think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylors swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris say now. “Most people dont survive this. My team saved my life”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”24. What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold. B. She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball. D.She shivered terribly during practice25. Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend. B. She recovered from shock.C. She received immediate CPR. D.She came back on the softball team.26. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and gentle. B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous. D.Ambitious and professional.CA black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion, gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a white hole in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!27. When the star begins to die _.A. there is no fuel left in itB. a huge explosion will happen C. its outer layer goes into space firstD. it doesnt give off light any longer28. Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole?A. The dying star shines very brightly. B. The light cant go out of the star.C. The star becomes smaller and smaller D. The gravity inside the star is very strong.29. The black hole _.A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the timeB. must go into another universe and becomes a white holeC. must appear at another place at a different timeD. can pull in everything we know of in the world30. Whats the best title for this passage?A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. What Are Black Holes?C. How Do Black Holes Come Into Being? D. Travel Through A Black Hole DFor high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to-l9-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.31. In the authors opinion, American high school leavers _.A. have enough career-related coursesB. need more career advice from their schoolsC. perform better in exams than German studentsD. can get higher earnings in later years32. According to Robert Schwartz, _.A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the USB. students should get contact with the working world at high schoolC. education reform should focus on students performance in examsD. teenagers in the US cant miss out on the summer job experience33. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.C.US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.D. High school leavers with no practical skills cant find a job absolutely.34. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _.A. discouraging B. interesting C. creative D. unbearable35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Arguments about recent US education reform.B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school leavers.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Youve seen news reports about people who need assistance after a natural disaster, or TV programs about how lonely and isolated older people can get.
