For all we know, everything may have been burned to ashes. Fortunately, no one, not even the four security guards who witnessed the beginning of the fire, has been injured.Nobody yet knows the cause of the fire, but it is the officials irresponsibility and the funding shortages in particular, which are being blamed for this tragedy.Some of the museums researchers told the press that they had been able to save some things from the exhibition rooms before the fire moved in. However, we Brazilians have lost much of the material memory of our short past. A good part of our 518 years of history, or that which had been transformed into storable objects, disappeared in just a few hours.The people of Rio de Janeiro were fond of taking their children, or grandchildren to the museum to show off their knowledge of the odd-looking mummies brought in from Egypt by the Emperor Dom Pedro II, a huge skeleton of a humpback whale, or the brightly coloured feathers of a headdress of the Kayapo tribe.When I think that I can no longer take my youngest daughter to the Museu Nacional that is what gets me emotional. It is this feeling that has penetrated (穿透) our souls and may leave Brazilians feeling empty for a long time to come.4. What can we learn about the National Museum of Brazil?A. It has a history of 518 years.B. All of its collections have been lost.C. It was built in the early 19th century.D. It is not very popular in the country.5. According to the text, _ caused the big fire of the museum.A. the inefficient firemen B. the irresponsible officialsC. the careless security guards D. something unknown6. The text is written in a mood of_.A. delight B. sorrowC. defeat D. humour7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Fire Put out in Rio de Janeiro, BrazilB. Our Fond Memories of the PastC. Who Is to Blame for the Accident?D. A Museum Is Lost and Might Never ReturnCFor years, decades in fact, Ive puzzled over the response most people have when I tell them I mostly travel alone.Youre so brave!Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be brave, whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable?You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway. I have never been afraid of travelling alone.The first time I travelled alone was when I was 19.1 was due to travel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer. She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna. It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself. It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it.When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself. I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard at all.That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary. The greatest gift of solo travel has been those Ive met along the way. I may have set off alone each time but Ive encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.8. What makes the author puzzled when she tells people of her experience?A. Peoples disbelief. B. Peoples response.C. Peoples approval. D. Peoples criticism.9. What does the author say about her first time to travel alone?A. It was a trip by design.B. She had to choose to go by herself.C. It was harder than expected.D. She set off all alone.10. What do the underlined words solo travel in the last paragraph mean?A. Group Travel. B. Travelling with friends.C. Travelling alone. D. Travelling with music.11. How has the author benefited from her travel?A. She has overcome her fear of travelling alone.B. She has written a couple of books.C. She has received a great many gifts.D. She has met many people all the way.DActing is the least mysterious of all crafts, Marion Brando once said. But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actors head has always been something of a puzzle.Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not.Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (压制) yourself; almost like the character is possessing you.Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role either Romeo or Juliet in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments.Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love?Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet.The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some third-person knowledge or inferences about their character.The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) linked to the sense of self, compared with when the actors were responding as themselves.However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone it involves embodying (体现) the text and language.12. How did Dr Browns team conduct their research?A. By scanning the brain activity of some actors. B. By doing a survey with some theatre goers.C. By interviewing some theatre teachers.D. By consulting some experienced researchers.13. What is the finding of Dr Browns research?A. Acting is not as mysterious as people think.B. Actors brain activity differs when they are acting.C. Acting is far more than pretending to be the character.D. Actors brain activity is more active when they are in character.14. How did Philip Davis react to the research?A. He supported it.B. He doubted it.C. He explained it.D. He advocated it.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A debate of how the brain functions.B. A play written by Shakespeare.C. A research on the brain activity of actors. D. A report of the cooperation of scientists and actors.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。Have you ever used any language learning apps?
