【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Hello everyone, today I’d like to introduce a holiday to you. No one eats alone day is a holiday that falls on the third Friday of February each year. This holiday began in honor of lily Rachel Smith, a young girl who often felt left out at school because of her illness. When she passed away at age fifteen, it made other teens in her area think long and hard about what it feels like to be lonely. Then the holiday was started as a campaign between a handful of north Carolina schools in 2012. They wanted to address the issue of some children being left alone by their classmates during lunch. Eventually, word of this holiday spread far beyond North Carolina. Currently, millions of students in more than 2500 US schools in all fifty states participate in this holiday. This is a holiday that’s mainly observed in middle and high schools across America. However, that doesn’t mean that people can’t support the cause behind this holiday. One way people can make a difference is by finding out what they can do by visiting beyond differences, which manages this holiday every year.

I would treasure every moment on the hockey arena (冰球场). My dream job would be to become a professional hockey player. I grew up playing hockey in local leagues. I was never the star player on the team, but hockey was always something I eagerly expected every day, simply enjoying the game.
It has been seven years since I last played hockey, and I deeply miss the excitement of driving to the arena with my family, scoring a goal, making an important save (扑救), or simply being part of a team.
Being a professional hockey player makes big money. For example, Connor McDavid signed a $100 million deal with the Edmonton Oilers in 2017. But, in fact, very few people like the career only because of this. The majority of people play it because they love the game. For me, it’s not about the money or the fame (名声). If I were in their skates, I’d treasure every second on the ice.
I’d treasure every step on the ice of famous hockey arenas like Madison Square Garden, Bell Centre, Rogers Arena, and Scotiabank Arena. I’d enjoy every moment sharing the ice with future Hall-of-Farmers like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, and Carey Price.
I’d feel like the luckiest person alive every time I’m reminded that I’m living the dream—a dream many, like me, would give anything to experience. Twenty-three lucky individuals for each team have the honor to tell the world with pride that they play hockey professionally and support their families. I’d devote myself to anything for the chance to be among them. Yes, professional hockey players earn significant salaries, but if given the opportunity, I wouldn’t ask for a single dollar.
24. What can we say about the author concerning hockey?
A. He showed no interest in hockey. B. He started a local hockey team.
C. He was not good at playing hockey. D. He played hockey due to his family.
25. What inspires many people to be hockey players?
A. The money they make. B. Their love for competition.
C. The desire for fame. D. Their interest in the game.
26. Why does the author mention the famous hockey arenas?
A. To highlight his dream. B. To show hockey is popular.
C To explain his rich experiences. D. To recommend them to hockey lovers.
27. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Gaining success helps become an expert. B. We should stay true to what we run after.
C. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“For me, it’s not about the money or the fame(名声). If I were in their skates, I’d treasure every second on the ice. (对我来说,这与金钱或名声无关。如果我穿着他们的溜冰鞋,我会珍惜在冰上的每一秒。)”及第四段“I’d treasure every step on the ice of famous hockey arenas like Madison Square Garden, Bell Centre, Rogers Arena, and Scotiaban k Arena. I’d enjoy every moment sharing the ice with future Hall-of-Famers like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, and Carey Price. (我会珍惜在麦迪逊广场花园、贝尔中心、罗杰斯竞技场和斯科蒂亚银行竞技场的冰上走出每一步。我很享受与西德尼·克罗斯比、亚历山大·奥维奇金、帕特里克·凯恩和凯里·普莱斯等未来入选的名人堂成员分享冰上的每一刻。)”可知,作者提到著名的冰球竞技场是为了突出他的梦想,即成为冰球运动员,故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Twenty-three lucky individuals for each team have the honor to tell the world with pride that they play hockey professionally and support their families. I’d devote myself to anything for the chance to be among them. Yes, professional hockey players earn significant salaries, but if given the opportunity, I wouldn’t ask for a single dollar. (每支球队的 23 名幸运儿有幸自豪地告诉全世界,他们打的是专业的曲棍球,养家糊口。为了有机会成为他们中的一员,我愿意全身心地投入到任何事情中。是的,职业曲棍球运动员的薪水很高,但如果有机会,我不会要求一美元。)”可知,作者为了实现自己的梦想,愿意奉献一切,哪怕一分钱也不要,强调了实现梦想的价值。因此推断作者通过 “不索取金钱” 的态度,强调对梦想的纯粹追求,即“坚持所追逐的事物”。故选B项。
C
According to the United Nations, there’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Everest. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹).
According to a study released in February, 2024, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells (外壳). Zuzanna Jagiello, a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland, is the study’s lead author. She said, “They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Jagiello studies the Anthropocene age. That’s the age we’re in now. Scientists consider it as the period in which human activity has had a major impact on the environment. Hermit crabs’ using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact.
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from enemies, in general, they wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing rubbish. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps.
Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have theories. Some sea snail populations are declining. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are opting for plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its flamboyant materials. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and their living places in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation,” Jagiello says. “What are the long-term results of these adaptations? We don’t know.”
28. What do scientists think of hermit crabs’ using plastic waste as shells?
A. They’re products of the environment. B. They don’t have to use their homes.
C. They don’t have enough food to eat. D. They have ability to live alone.
29. What do we know about hermit crabs?
A. Their population is becoming smaller. B. Their physical health is getting worse.
C. They typically wear seashells not litter. D. They are moving out of the oceans.
30. What does the underlined word “flamboyant” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Real. B. Colorful. C. Familiar. D. Expensive.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Less Plastic, More Creative Crabs B. The Anthropocene Age’s Crabs
C. More Hermit Crabs, Less Polluted D. Hermit Crabs in Plastic Shells
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了寄居蟹将塑料垃圾作为外壳的现象,分析了这一现象产生的原因以及给人类的启示。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists consider it as the period in which human activity has had a major impact on the environment. Hermit crabs’ using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact.(科学家认为这是人类活动对环境产生重大影响的时期。寄居蟹用塑料垃圾做壳就是这种影响的一个例子)”可知,科学家认为寄居蟹用塑料垃圾做壳的行为是环境的产物。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from enemies, in general, they wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺).(寄居蟹是一种生活在海洋附近的小型软体蟹。一般来说,为了保护自己免受敌人的攻击,它们会戴上死海螺留下的贝壳)”可知,寄居蟹通常戴着贝壳而不是垃圾。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s also possible that crabs are opting for plastic because it’s light and easy to carry.(螃蟹选择塑料也有可能是因为塑料很轻,便于携带)”可知,上文说明了螃蟹被塑料吸引的原因,塑料轻便、便于携带,同时颜色丰富多彩,结合选项可知划线词意思是“多彩的”。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“According to a study released in February, 2024, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells (外壳).(根据2024年2月发布的一项研究,寄居蟹用塑料垃圾做壳)”结合文章主要说明了寄居蟹将塑料垃圾作为外壳的现象,分析了这一现象产生的原因以及给人类的启示。可知,D选项“塑料壳中的寄居蟹”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
A person’s IQ is a measurement of a person’s intelligence. It stands for intelligence quotient, the amount or degree of intelligence. IQ tests have been around since the beginning of the 20th century, although people have been trying to measure intelligence for much longer than that.
French psychologist Alfred Binet was one of the first people to come up with what we know as the IQ test. In 1905, he was tasked with creating a tool for measuring which students in school were more likely to do poorly. A new law had been passed in France that made all children go to school. Education leaders wanted to know the children who were not as intelligent as the others.
Binet developed a test that would consider two factors: a child’s chronological age (How old was he or she?) and a child’s mental age (Was the child thinking at, below, or above the level of other children his or her age?). He developed questions for specific age groups. If a child could answer questions that older children could answer, that child’s mental age was higher than his chronological age. If a different child could not answer questions that children his own age could answer, then that child’s mental age was lower than his chronological age.
Binet did not believe his test fully measured a person’s intelligence. He felt intelligence was something you could not put a number on. He said more research needed to be done. Despite this, an American psychologist at Stanford University read Binet’s work and confidently developed the test further. It became known as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. This test became one of the most popular IQ tests of the 20th century. The test may be useful, but some people said that Alfred Binet was right: intelligence is more than just a number.
32. Why did Alfred Binet create the IQ test?
A. To keep poor students out of school. B. To separate weak students from others.
C. To measure students’ daily behaviour. D. To make laws for poor but clever students.
33. Which aspect of Binet’s IQ test is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A Its results. B. Its subjects. C. Its methods. D. Its origins.
34. What was the attitude of the American psychologist mentioned to his own IQ test?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
35. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To provide some explorations of intelligence. B. To present a new intelligence measurement.
C. To compare the measurements of intelligence. D. To list the benefits of applying intelligence fully.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智商测试的起因、发展和后续影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“French psychologist Alfred Binet was one of the first people to come up with what we know as the IQ test. In 1905, he was tasked with creating a tool for measuring which students in school were more likely to do poorly. A new law had been passed in France that made all children go to school. Education leaders wanted to know the children who were not as intelligent as the others.(法国心理学家阿尔弗雷德·比奈是最早提出智商测试的人之一。1905年,他的任务是创建一种工具来衡量哪些学生在学校表现更差。法国通过了一项新法律,规定所有儿童都要上学。教育领导人想了解那些不如其他人聪明的孩子)”可知,阿尔弗雷德·比奈创造智商测试,是为了把差的学生和其他学生分开。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Binet developed a test that would consider two factors: a child’s chronological age (How old was he or she?) and a child’s mental age (Was the child thinking at, below, or above the level of other children his or her age?). He developed questions for specific age groups. If a child could answer questions that older children could answer, that child’s mental age was higher than his chronological age. If a different child could not answer questions that children his own age could answer, then that child’s mental age was lower than his chronological age.(比奈开发了一项测试,将考虑两个因素:孩子的实际年龄(他或她多大了?)和孩子的心理年龄(孩子的思维水平是否达到、低于或高于其他孩子的年龄水平?)。他提出了针对特定年龄组的问题。如果一个孩子能回答年龄较大的孩子能回答的问题,那么这个孩子的心理年龄就高于他实际年龄。如果另一个孩子不能回答与他同龄的孩子可以回答的问题,那么这个孩子的心理年龄低于他实际年龄)”可知,本段主要介绍了比奈智商测试的测试方法。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite this, an American psychologist at Stanford University read Binet’s work and confidently developed the test further. It became known as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales.(尽管如此,斯坦福大学的一位美国心理学家阅读了比奈的研究,并自信地进一步发展了这项测试。它被称为斯坦福-比奈智力量表)”可推知,这位美国心理学家对自己的智商测试很自信,对其持有的态度是支持的。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A person’s IQ is a measurement of a person’s intelligence. It stands for intelligence quotient, the amount or degree of intelligence.(一个人的智商是衡量一个人智力的标准。它代表智商,即智力的数量或程度)”、第二段“French psychologist Alfred Binet was one of the first people to come up with what we know as the IQ test.(法国心理学家阿尔弗雷德·比奈是最早提出智商测试的人之一)”以及第四段“Despite this, an American psychologist at Stanford University read Binet’s work and confidently developed the test further. It became known as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales.(尽管如此,斯坦福大学的一位美国心理学家阅读了比奈的研究,并自信地进一步发展了这项测试。它被称为斯坦福-比奈智力量表)”可知,本文首先解释了IQ是什么,然后详细描述了阿尔弗雷德·比奈如何创建智商测试,以及后来它如何发展成为斯坦福-比奈智力量表,文章主要介绍了智商测试的起因、发展和后续影响。由此推知,文章的主要目的是提供一些关于智力的探讨。故选A。

How long would an artist need to create a marble statue (大理石雕像)? ___39___
Avoid taking pictures. Although some exhibits could be so beautiful and interesting to you, don’t take photos of them. ___40___ You’re damaging the paintings that are often hundreds of years old if using the flash.

A. And that could be tiring.
B. There are good reasons for this.
C. Ask everything that interests you.
D. Pick only one collection and explore it deeply.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是2024年5月24日,中国作家王安忆获得“法兰西共和国荣誉军团骑士勋章”并简要介绍了她的文学成就和贡献。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:2024年5月24日,中国著名作家王安忆在上海被授予法国荣誉军团骑士勋章,这是法国1802年设立的最高荣誉勋章。此处为定语从句的谓语动词,根据时间状语in 1802可知,此处应使用一般过去时,establish与句子主语which指代的先行词Legion of Honor之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填was established。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:法国驻华大使向她颁发了该奖,以表彰她对文学和中法文化交流的重大贡献。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词contributions,significance的形容词为significant意为“意义重大的”符合句意。故填significant。
【58题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:70岁的王安忆说:“文学交流已经成为中法两国宝贵的传统之一。”此处为名词作宾语,根据“one of+名词复数”可知,此处应为名词复数形式。故填traditions。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:70岁的王安忆说:“文学交流已经成为中法两国宝贵的传统之一。”此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,所以此处使用关系代词,先行词Wang指的是人,所以此处使用关系代词who。故填who。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:出生在一个文学世家,迄今为止,王安忆创作了大量的文学作品,其中包括大约100个短篇小说和20多部小说。此处为固定短语a large number of修饰名词复数,意为“许多的,大量的”符合句意,所以此处使用介词of。故填of。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:今年是中法建交60周年纪念。60th为序数词,此空应该为定冠词the,the 60th anniversary意为“第60周年纪念”。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查动名词。句意:作为法国文学的忠实崇拜者,她花了很多时间向中国介绍法国文学,并加强了与许多法国作家的交流。此处为非谓语动词作宾语,介词in后应为动名词形式作宾语,且表示主动意义。故填introducing。
【63题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:她的十多部作品,如1996年出版的《长恨歌》,已被翻译并在法国出版。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词“The Song of Everlasting Sorrow”,两者之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填published。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:“文学创作既需要天赋,也需要实践。写小说确实是一门既动脑又动手的技能,而我的首要品质就是努力。”王安忆说。此处为副词作状语修饰谓语动词is,true的副词为truly意为“确实”符合句意。故填truly。
【65题详解】
考查代词。句意:“文学创作既需要天赋,也需要实践。写小说确实是一门既动脑又动手的技能,而我的首要品质就是努力。”王安忆说。空后为名词quality,所以此处使用形容词性物主代词,I的形容词性物主代词为my。故填my。

One icy New Year’s Eve, my mother and father, along with one of their friends, Anderson, were on their way home from a party.
They were driving down a rather icy road with little traffic near St. Charles, Michigan, when suddenly my mother noticed something strange along the side of the road. It seemed that there was light shining up into the pine trees (松树) from the ditch (沟渠). Though my dad had driven past, fearing something bad happened, my mother asked him to turn around.
When they got back, they found a truck upside down in the very deep ditch. The lights my mother had seen were the headlights shining up into the trees.
Seeing this accident, their first thought was to save people. At that time, mobile phones were not as popular as they are now. None of them had one on them. They decided immediately that Anderson would drive into town and ask for help. My father and mother stayed behind.
Since my mother is a nurse, with my father following her, she went down into the ditch to see if she could offer help to anyone down there. When she got to the overturned truck, she could see a young man lying on the driver’s seat, badly hurt. To make matters worse, his right leg was still bleeding (流血). If it wasn’t stopped in time, the young man’s life could be lost at any time. So my mother tied my father’s coat around his injuries to help stop the bleeding. They kept talking and comforting him until the help arrived, and then they went away without telling their names.
One day,20 years later, one of my workmates told a story about her brother. As she talked, the story began to ring bells in my head. I asked her, “Was your brother driving a truck that went into the ditch out on an icy road where there were many big pine trees?” Her mouth dropped open and answered...

I would treasure every moment on the hockey arena (冰球场). My dream job would be to become a professional hockey player. I grew up playing hockey in local leagues. I was never the star player on the team, but hockey was always something I eagerly expected every day, simply enjoying the game.
It has been seven years since I last played hockey, and I deeply miss the excitement of driving to the arena with my family, scoring a goal, making an important save (扑救), or simply being part of a team.
Being a professional hockey player makes big money. For example, Connor McDavid signed a $100 million deal with the Edmonton Oilers in 2017. But, in fact, very few people like the career only because of this. The majority of people play it because they love the game. For me, it’s not about the money or the fame (名声). If I were in their skates, I’d treasure every second on the ice.
I’d treasure every step on the ice of famous hockey arenas like Madison Square Garden, Bell Centre, Rogers Arena, and Scotiabank Arena. I’d enjoy every moment sharing the ice with future Hall-of-Farmers like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, and Carey Price.
I’d feel like the luckiest person alive every time I’m reminded that I’m living the dream—a dream many, like me, would give anything to experience. Twenty-three lucky individuals for each team have the honor to tell the world with pride that they play hockey professionally and support their families. I’d devote myself to anything for the chance to be among them. Yes, professional hockey players earn significant salaries, but if given the opportunity, I wouldn’t ask for a single dollar.
24. What can we say about the author concerning hockey?
A. He showed no interest in hockey. B. He started a local hockey team.
C. He was not good at playing hockey. D. He played hockey due to his family.
25. What inspires many people to be hockey players?
A. The money they make. B. Their love for competition.
C. The desire for fame. D. Their interest in the game.
26. Why does the author mention the famous hockey arenas?
A. To highlight his dream. B. To show hockey is popular.
C. To explain his rich experiences. D. To recommend them to hockey lovers.
27. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Gaining success helps become an expert. B. We should stay true to what we run after.
C. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
C
According to the United Nations, there’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Everest. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹).
According to a study released in February, 2024, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells (外壳). Zuzanna Jagiello, a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland, is the study’s lead author. She said, “They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Jagiello studies the Anthropocene age. That’s the age we’re in now. Scientists consider it as the period in which human activity has had a major impact on the environment. Hermit crabs’ using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact.
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from enemies, in general, they wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing rubbish. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps.
Scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells. But they have theories. Some sea snail populations are declining. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are opting for plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its flamboyant materials. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and their living places in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. “It’s really an amazing example of the beauty of adaptation,” Jagiello says. “What are the long-term results of these adaptations? We don’t know.”
28. What do scientists think of hermit crabs’ using plastic waste as shells?
A. They’re products of the environment. B. They don’t have to use their homes.
C. They don’t have enough food to eat. D. They have ability to live alone.
29. What do we know about hermit crabs?
A. Their population is becoming smaller. B. Their physical health is getting worse.
C. They typically wear seashells not litter. D. They are moving out of the oceans.
30. What does the underlined word “flamboyant” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Real. B. Colorful. C. Familiar. D. Expensive.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Less Plastic, More Creative Crabs B. The Anthropocene Age’s Crabs
C. More Hermit Crabs, Less Polluted D. Hermit Crabs in Plastic Shells
D
A person’s IQ is a measurement of a person’s intelligence. It stands for intelligence quotient, the amount or degree of intelligence. IQ tests have been around since the beginning of the 20th century, although people have been trying to measure intelligence for much longer than that.
French psychologist Alfred Binet was one of the first people to come up with what we know as the IQ test. In 1905, he was tasked with creating a tool for measuring which students in school were more likely to do poorly. A new law had been passed in France that made all children go to school. Education leaders wanted to know the children who were not as intelligent as the others.
Binet developed a test that would consider two factors: a child’s chronological age (How old was he or she?) and a child’s mental age (Was the child thinking at, below, or above the level of other children his or her age?). He developed questions for specific age groups. If a child could answer questions that older children could answer, that child’s mental age was higher than his chronological age. If a different child could not answer questions that children his own age could answer, then that child’s mental age was lower than his chronological age.
Binet did not believe his test fully measured a person’s intelligence. He felt intelligence was something you could not put a number on. He said more research needed to be done. Despite this, an American psychologist at Stanford University read Binet’s work and confidently developed the test further. It became known as the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. This test became one of the most popular IQ tests of the 20th century. The test may be useful, but some people said that Alfred Binet was right: intelligence is more than just a number.
32. Why did Alfred Binet create the IQ test?
A. To keep poor students out of school. B. To separate weak students from others.
C. To measure students’ daily behaviour. D. To make laws for poor but clever students.
33. Which aspect of Binet’s IQ test is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Its results. B. Its subjects. C. Its methods. D. Its origins.
34. What was the attitude of the American psychologist mentioned to his own IQ test?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
35. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To provide some explorations of intelligence. B. To present a new intelligence measurement.
C. To compare the measurements of intelligence. D. To list the benefits of applying intelligence fully.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
Let’s talk now about how to visit a museum right once you are inside of it.
Dress properly. This is quite important for visiting museums. For example, when in the museum you won’t walk that much, but you’ll stand on the same spot a lot. ___36___ Wearing some comfortable shoes is necessary for a great museum experience.
Don’t spend more than two hours at a museum. From my experience, after two hours at the museum, you’ll be too tired to continue exploring it. Just walking around in the museum without any idea of what you’re looking at won’t be the best experience. ___37___ That way, you can really enjoy the artwork, learn the story behind it and have a great museum experience.
___38___ One of my favourite things about visiting museum s is to talk about the art pieces. If you’ll visit the museum on tour, feel free to ask your guide who often knows the artworks well all the questions you have. Why is that painting so famous? How long would an artist need to create a marble statue (大理石雕像)? ___39___
Avoid taking pictures. Although some exhibits could be so beautiful and interesting to you, don’t take photos of them. ___40___ You’re damaging the paintings that are often hundreds of years old if using the flash. And since the light is not bright at museums, the quality of your photos won’t be the best. Another thing is that you are damaging other visitors’ experience.
A. And that could be tiring.
B. There are good reasons for this.
C. Ask everything that interests you.
