There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college. Kings Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paintfree of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more monly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts (热爱者). Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byrons Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter plaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on one occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 21. As is mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. A. attending the masters class B. working with local artists C. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition22. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _. A. mon insectsB. impressive plants C. rarely-seen snakes D. wildlife-enthusiasts23. We can learn from the passage that Byron seemed _.A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 1805BThe demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批评), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory.However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on years of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that es to mind is the fact that Newtons Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newtons Theories to formulate (规划) other theories.However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newtons Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einsteins publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newtons laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (运动) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though Newtons laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神话). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (进化) and it is each scientists responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.While the final answer to the universes questions may never exist, a time will e when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.24. Why have there been a lot of criticisms?A. Scientists have a negative attitude.B. The modern world demands more and more.C. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.D. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions too fast.25. Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newtons Theories turned out to be _.A. not so perfect B. pletely wrongC. very safe D. very exact26. What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?A. Improve and change their methods and techniques.B. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.C. Ignore it and do as they please.D. Accept the fact and give up.27. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of time B. the universes questions are sure to have a final answerC. there will be more scientists in the world in the future D. scientists are carrying out improved studiesCYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind ing from? Is it ing from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45 angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). It shouldnt look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.28. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.29. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.30. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.31. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.DFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less mon in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.32. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.33. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits34. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.35. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions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。How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines？(36) _ You will not only save time，but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports (37) _.
