The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And thats an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. Thats it. Simple by design ,the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver l,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in2020.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents. 700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public an sites.etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Heres a sample:“I loved taking the time to just be with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. Its a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble.

There are guided tours every day up thishighly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along itsold streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigha, you wont miss the Pacaya-tour companies.But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 meters high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of irruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone. Just as though you were going to walk over the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔岩)and the darkening sky. On a goodday the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 meters into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.24. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To attract tourists to PacayaB. To describe the beauty of PacayaC. To introduce guided tours to PacayaD. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya25. Antigua is a city .A. where people can enjoy cultural festivalsB. where the daring Pacaya tour startC. that gives a close-up view of PacayaD. that is famous for its tour companies26.

Many tours are timed for people to .A. get down the mountain in time when night fallsB. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of coneC. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening skyD. appreciate the scenery of the 2560-meter-high mountainCBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But whats taking us so long?As early as1997,MIT(麻省理工)decided to post videos of all university lectures online. forfree, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advancedmathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education website sand the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but its not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we arent spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful moviesB. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainmentC. To argue that movie directors should produce educational contentD. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that to an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.”The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.32.The author mentions Dr. Johnsons comment to show that.A. most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC. the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD. English conversations usually start with the weather33.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A. A social trend.B. An emotional state.C. A historical concept.D. An unknown phenomenon.34.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that .A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB. there is nothing special about the English weatherC. the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty35.What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.B. To analysis misconceptions about the English weather. C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.第二节七选五（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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down. 36_You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.Read if you feel bored.Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you dont like books.
