She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked,“ Do you have the address? ”“No, but Ill recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man asked.“ No,” I said.“ Were fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you werent that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的),keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me.“ Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply.“ The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head.“ Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “Whats this place?” I asked, still confused.“ Well, its our home.” My heart jolted(震颤).I raced to the staircase and called out,“ Sally! Come down immediately! ”“Theres some really good stuff(艺术作品)up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldnt believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place.“ Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. Ive always wanted to thank you.”24. What do we know about Marian McNay?A. She was a painter. B. She was a community leader.C. She was a museum director. D. She was a journalist.25. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Frightened. D. Delighted.26. Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?A. The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.B. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.C. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.D. The event happening in the house was more significant.27. What could we learn from the last paragraph?A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.B. People should spend more time with their family.C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.CPre-school children who spend time together take on one anothers personalities, a new research has found. The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping peoples personalities. While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche(心理),the research finds that personality traits(特征)are“contagious”(传染的)among children.“Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality cant be changed,”said Dr. Jennifer Neal, co-author of the study.The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year. One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds, and the other a set of four-year-olds. Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time. Psychology expert Dr. Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits. A 2020 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person“like a disease”. The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social“climate”in their workplaces, which included offices, hotels and restaurants. They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year. And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way. Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event, sending unkind emails, finding fault with others or failing to give praise.Dr. Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment. She said better training could help to fight against the problem.28. What does the underlined part“flies in the face of”in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Leads to. B. Results from. C. Goes against. D. Agrees with.29. According to Paragraph 2, who have the greatest impact on childrens personality?A. Their parents. B. Their friends. C. The researchers. D. The psychologists.30. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ones personality is hard to change. B. Ones personality is shaped by genes.C. Ones personality traits can spread to others. D. Ones personality traits can change overnight.31. This passage is most probably taken from.A. a science report B. a study guide C. a school textbook D. a technical journalDA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that“night milk”contains more melatonin(褪黑激素),which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk.A. started sleep more easily. B. were more anxious C. were less activeD. woke up later33. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. Its been tested on mice for ten times. B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount. D. Its used in sleeping drugs.34. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and Sleep. B. Fat Sugar and Health.C. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health35. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples. B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data. D. By providing research results.第二节 （共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）Color is fundamental in home designsomething youll always have in every room.
