People in Beijing love it so much that they even built a museum for this sweet fruit. China Watermelon Museum lies in Panggezhuang Town, Daxing District, south of Beijing. It is the only watermelon museum in the world. There are two good reasons why people built this museum. First of all, the watermelon is one of people’s favourite fruits in China. Second, people think of Panggezhuang Town as the “hometown of watermelons in China”, as it cultivates a large number of watermelons every year. China Watermelon Museum covers an area of 22,000 square meters and you can see more than 140 wax (蜡) watermelons there. In the main building, there are also pictures, poems and videos showing you just everything about this juicy fruit—from its birthplace in southern Africa, growing ways, to China’s special “watermelon culture”. In a word, the museum is truly a watermelon world. Outside the main building, there is a large sculpture (雕塑) park with over 10,000 square meters. There some interesting sculptures can tell watermelon folk stories. If you go to Beijing, don’t forget to visit this interesting museum. The best time to visit it is summer. Visitors are not only able to learn more about watermelon culture, but also able to taste different kinds of watermelons outside the main building. 36. China Watermelon Museum is in the ________ of Beijing. A. east B. west C. north D. south 37. The underlined word “cultivates” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

Which of the center circles looks larger? Take a first look and you probably think that the center circle in Picture A is smaller than that in Picture B. In fact, they are the same size. Then look at the Picture C on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time. “What’s happening? Is anything wrong with my eyes?” You may ask yourself. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes: When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it visual illusion (视觉错觉). ▲ They make the things around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids just make use of illusions. 41.

A. a news website B. a science book C. a movie magazine D. a storybook 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了视觉错觉这一概念及现象。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, they are the same size.”可知，图片A、B中的中心圆是一样的，故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information.”可知，我们的眼睛先看东西，然后眼睛看到的信息发送给大脑，大脑解读了这些信息之后，告诉我们看到了什么．因此正确顺序是adbc。故答案选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The movies Jurassic Park and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids just make use of illusions.”可知，此处介绍和电影中视觉的使用相关，选项B“电影制作者们经常利用错觉。”符合语境，故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“They make the things around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are.”可知，列举《侏罗纪公园》和《亲爱的，我把孩子缩小了》是为了说明电影制作者对视觉错觉的运用，故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据本文介绍了视觉错觉概念及视觉错觉的现象，可知文章属于科普文章。故选B。 第二节 阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E The clouds in the sky are changing all the time.

Howie liked playing with Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at his home so he felt worried. “I want you to try new dishes (菜) at Ashwin’s home. It’s bad to say no when someone gives you food,” his mother said. The next day, Howie nervously played with Ashwin together until dinner.

C On hot days, it’s hard to say no to watermelon, right? People in Beijing love it so much that they even built a museum for this sweet fruit. China Watermelon Museum lies in Panggezhuang Town, Daxing District, south of Beijing. It is the only watermelon museum in the world. There are two good reasons why people built this museum. First of all, the watermelon is one of people’s favourite fruits in China. Second, people think of Panggezhuang Town as the “hometown of watermelons in China”, as it cultivates a large number of watermelons every year. China Watermelon Museum covers an area of 22,000 square meters and you can see more than 140 wax (蜡) watermelons there. In the main building, there are also pictures, poems and videos showing you just everything about this juicy fruit—from its birthplace in southern Africa, growing ways, to China’s special “watermelon culture”. In a word, the museum is truly a watermelon world. Outside the main building, there is a large sculpture (雕塑) park with over 10,000 square meters. There some interesting sculptures can tell watermelon folk stories. If you go to Beijing, don’t forget to visit this interesting museum. The best time to visit it is summer. Visitors are not only able to learn more about watermelon culture, but also able to taste different kinds of watermelons outside the main building. 36. China Watermelon Museum is in the ________ of Beijing. A. east B. west C. north D. south 37. The underlined word “cultivates” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A. collects B. passes C. grows D. saves 38. In the main building, you are able to ________. ①learn how to grow watermelons ②enjoy some interesting sculptures ③taste different kinds of watermelons ④ see lots of pictures of watermelons A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ D. ②③ 39. From the passage, we can learn that the museum ________. A. has over 140 real watermelons B. is 10,000 square meters in size C. is in the birthplace of watermelons D. is the world’s only watermelon museum 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Watermelons in Beijing B. The History of Watermelons C. A Museum for Watermelons D. A Trip to China Watermelon Museum D Look at the center circles of picture A and picture B. Which of the center circles looks larger? Take a first look and you probably think that the center circle in Picture A is smaller than that in Picture B. In fact, they are the same size. Then look at the Picture C on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time. “What’s happening? Is anything wrong with my eyes?” You may ask yourself. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes: When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it visual illusion (视觉错觉). ▲ They make the things around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids just make use of illusions. 41. What do the center circles in picture A and B actually look like? A. They are both very small. B. The center circle in A is larger. C. The center circle in B is larger. D. The center circle in A is as large as that in B. 42. What’s the right order according to the passage? a. We look at things with our eyes. b. Our brains interpret the messages. c. Our brains tell us what we have seen. d. Our eyes send messages to our brains. A. adbc B. cabd C. bcad D. abdc 43. Which is the best to to fill in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. The actors have illusion in movies, too. B. Movie makers often make use of illusions. C. There is also visual illusion in our daily life. D. Movies makers always change the color of the things around actors. 44. Why does the writer mention (提到) Jurassic Park and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? A. Because he loves movies. B. Because readers love movies. C Because he wants to make the text funny. D. Because he wants to give readers some examples. The text is probably from ____45____. A. a news website B. a science book C. a movie magazine D. a storybook 第二节 阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E The clouds in the sky are changing all the time.
