When Reginald Johnston, a British scholar, first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919, most palaces weren’t allowed to visit. But a century later, when the People’s Republic of China is to celebrate its 70th founding anniversary in October, the 599-year-old palace complex (宫殿群) becomes the world’s busiest museum.
Open to the public
In the old days, ordinary people could only imagine what it looked like inside. When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces. Now 80% of the total area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025.

Robert Lee Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, California. Frost attended Dartmouth College after graduating from high school in 1892. In 1894, his first poem, titled “My Butterfly: An Elegy”, was published in The Independent. Robert Frost went on to attend Harvard University in 1897 after marrying his wife Elinor in 1895. He left university due to health concerns, and moved to a New Hampshire farm in the year 1900.
The time Robert Frost spent on his farm in New Hampshire was very hard for him, his wife and children. He tried to work hard and support his family. However, Frost came to respect country life and grew an appreciation for those living around him. These experiences on the farm inspired many of his well-known poems, including “The Tufts of Flowers” and “The Trial by Existence”, both of which were published in 1906. It was when Robert Frost decided to sell his farm in 1912 and move to England that he found publishers who were willing to help him. His first collection of poems, “A Boy’s Will” was published only a few months after his arrival in England, and “North of Boston” was published a year afterward.
By the time that Robert Frost made it back to his home country of America, he had built a solid career and reputation in England and was able to further his success. In 1916, with some influential publishers’ help, Frost published “Mountain Interval”, which contained poems and stories he had written during his stay in England. Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963 in Boston, at the age of 88. Before passing away, Robert Frost was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his contributions.

C
When a dog looks at you with big puppy-dog eyes, it’s hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww” without hesitation. However, there’s a reason why you find a dog’s stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.
The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn’t happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.
A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren’t sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners’ oxytocin levels also rose as a result.
The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man’s best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domestic (驯养的).
According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners,” Kikusui said.
46. According to Paragraph1, people say “Awww ” to ________.
A. make the dog stare at them B. express their love for the dogs
C. draw the dogs’ attention away D. warn the dogs not to approach them
47. According to the passage, oxytocin can ________.
A. reduce animals’ pain of giving birth
B. motivate animals’ desires to protect others
C. help animals to develop a better relationship
D. enable animals to survive more easily from dangers
48. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. dogs given oxytocin react differently
B. female dogs are more popular among humans
C. oxytocin helps dogs become man’s best friends
D. wolves are not likely to be friends with humans
49. The underlined words “ the change” in Paragraph 4 refer to that ________.
A. dogs and wolves are best friends
B. wolves begin to bond with humans
C. dogs became friends with humans
D. dogs were domesticated by humans
50. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on humans to be friendly to dogs.
B. To give advice on how to get along with dogs.
C. To introduce the evolution process of wild dogs.
D. To explain why humans and dogs are connected.
D
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how the other is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person' s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor(幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
51. In the opinion of the writer, which of the following qualities is the most important in choosing a friend?
A. A sense of humor. B. Honesty.
C. Reliability. D. Understanding.
52. If you have fair-weather friends, ________.
A. you will be refused when you get into trouble
B. they will give you all that they have when you need help
C. you will become rich
D. you can be sure that you get real friends
53. Good friends need to ________.

When a dog looks at you with big puppy-dog eyes, it’s hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww” without hesitation. However, there’s a reason why you find a dog’s stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.
The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn’t happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.
A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren’t sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners’ oxytocin levels also rose as a result.
The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man’s best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs first became domestic (驯养的).
According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners,” Kikusui said.
46. According to Paragraph1, people say “Awww ” to ________.
A. make the dog stare at them B. express their love for the dogs
C. draw the dogs’ attention away D. warn the dogs not to approach them
47. According to the passage, oxytocin can ________.
A. reduce animals’ pain of giving birth
B. motivate animals’ desires to protect others
C. help animals to develop a better relationship
D. enable animals to survive more easily from dangers
48. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. dogs given oxytocin react differently
B. female dogs are more popular among humans
C. oxytocin helps dogs become man’s best friends
D. wolves are not likely to be friends with humans
49. The underlined words “ the change” in Paragraph 4 refer to that ________.
A. dogs and wolves are best friends
B. wolves begin to bond with humans
C. dogs became friends with humans
D. dogs were domesticated by humans
50. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on humans to be friendly to dogs.
B. To give advice on how to get along with dogs.
C. To introduce the evolution process of wild dogs.
D. To explain why humans and dogs are connected.

However, there’s a reason why you find a dog’s stare so attractive. ”(当一只狗用小狗般的大眼睛看着你的时候,你很难走开,而且你可以毫不犹豫地说出“Awww”。不过,你觉得狗的眼神如此迷人是有原因的。)由此可知,人们说“ Awww”来表达他们对狗的爱。故选B项。

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how the other is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person' s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor(幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
