I was looking forward to a quiet view (观察) of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husbands patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填涂在答题卡的相应位置。（1）The young couple were at an art museum _.A . to show their loveB . to appreciate artC . to discuss paintingsD . to describe paintings（2）“I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer _.A . was in the hope of visiting more roomsB . was in a hurry to buy some giftsC . was tired of the non-stop talkingD . was not interested in the art show（3）We can infer (推断) from the passage that the husband _.A . was not born blindB . couldnt stand his wifeC . knew nothing about artD . completely depended on his wife（4）After hearing what the clerk had said about the couple, the writer was _.A . encouragedB . excitedC . touchedD . annoyed（5）The passage is mainly about _.A . the importance of artB . good manners in publicC . patience of a husbandD . love between a couple24. （10分） Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated (附属) islands, which consist of(由组成)Diaoyu Dao, Huangwei Yu, Chiwei Yu, Nanxiao Dao, Beixiao Dao, Nan Yu, Bei Yu, Fei Yu and other islands, are in the northeast of Chinas Taiwan Island, in the waters between 12320-12440E (东经) and 2540-2600N (北纬).

Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop - a style of dance that is best known for a break away or swing out move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh- the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)-which was titled, Lindy Hops the Atlantic. Then the watcher announced that the Lindy Hop was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的)backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the worlds most fun dances.（1）The writing purpose of this passage is _.
