London has a lot of famous museums, and the most popular one among them is the Science Museum in London. It is the most friendly museum in London.

In its rooms on the second and third floors, you can learn some knowledge about communications, the environment, Maths, physics, chemistry and so on.

And in one of its rooms, you can also have a chance to know how X-rays let you see inside your body.

The Launchpad(启动台) on the third floor is the most popular room because you can experience(经历) lots of physics experiments(实验) in it. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control(控制) a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again by spaceship.

On its fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. Compare(比较) the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, and you will feel very lucky to see a doctor in the modern hospitals!

Are you a little shy when it comes to raising your hand in class? In fact,many people will have the same feeling from time to time. With all attention on you, you can be tooafraid to speak up.

However, if you can break through your fear, we promise(承诺) you can benefit (受益) a lot. According to a government study, some students are falling behind because they’re too shy to put their hands up when a teacher asks a question. So try to raise your hand!

To start with, you’ll realize the power of being wrong. Nobody is right all the time. Your teacher will be happy to see your participation(参与) and won’t punish(惩罚) you for being wrong. He or she will explain(解释) why you’re wrong. You’ll learn something new. Chances are, other students think the same thing as you, but don’t speak up. Not only do you help yourself, but you help your shy classmates, too.

Besides, your teacher will know you’re interested in learning. Participating in class shows that you are not falling asleep behind your textbook. This is beneficial to you and your teacher. Your teacher will enjoy your interaction (互动) during the lesson and will remember your active(积极的) participation.

What’s more, you’ll have fun talking with your classmates. When you and other classmates are raising hands to answer questions, it makes the class more interesting and allows you to actively engage with the lesson. Class time will fly by and your mind won’t be watching the clock every 5 minutes.

Most importantly, you’ll know that you’ve actually learned the material(材料). One of the best ways to prove(证明) that you actually know something is by talking about it. Speaking up in class shows that you are trying to understand or have understood what you’ve been taught.

Don’t be shy or afraid to raise your hand in class. Nobody is judging(评判) you seriously. It’ll finally pay off.

45. The underlined phrase “engage with” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.

46. The writer probably thinks that______.

A. being active in class is helpful to your study

B. teachers should help students learn more in class

C. students like talking with each other better than answering questions

D. speaking up in class means understanding the material verywell

47. Why does the writer write this passage?

In the late 19th century in Europe, many people had more money to spend than before. They had better education, so they could read about the world outside of their own countries. They mostly couldn’t have the money for real travel, but they could dream about travel.

Surely the fact that people wanted to travel and see the world is one of the reasons why French writer Jules Verne’s great science fiction Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea(海底两万里) (1870) was such a success(成功). He made travel seem so exciting. He made sure to fill his adventures(冒险) with real and imagined(想象的) wonders.

The story begins when a sea monster(怪物) that looks like a whale(鲸) sinks(击沉) an American boat. The great powers meet in New York and decide to send a boat to deal with the monster. The crew(船员) will include Ned Land, a famous whale hunter, a sea biologist called Professor Aronnax and his assistant, Conseil.

After a terrible battle (交火), the crew’s ship sinks, and Aronnax, Land and Conseil find themselves hanging on(紧紧抓住) to the “monster”. Of course, it’s not an animal at all but a submarine(潜艇) called the Nautilus. Its pilot and builder is Captain Nemo, who saves but also catches the men.

Nemo hates men. We don’t learn why, at least in this book. All we know is that he’s built the Nautilus so that he can be out of reach of the world. This is the reason he can’t let his new captives(俘虏) go. Once saved, they would lead them to the Nautilus and to Nemo. There are great stories of journeys to see, but also legend(传说).

In a big accident, Aronnax, Land and Conseilran away from the Nautilus, but no one knows what became of it, nor of Nemo.

48. Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was such a success partly because ______.

A. he included many science facts in the book

B. he shared a lot of his travel experiences in the book

C. his was the first science fiction in the history of English literature

D. the journeys he wrote are exciting and full of real and imagined wonders

49. Captain Nemo keeps the other three people captive because ______.

A. he doesn’t want to stay on the ship alone

B. he needs their help to go on further adventures

C. he is afraid that their return willcause(引起) trouble for him

D. he thinks they will do something against the law(违法)

50. At the end of the story, ______.

A. the Nautilus sinks and nobody is alive

B. Captain Nemo loses his life in a big accident

C. Captain Nemo comes back to land with his crew

D. we still don’t know what happens to Captain Nemo

If you walk through a park in the morning or in the evening, you might see a lot of people doing these slow and beautiful movements. In fact, they are doing Tai Chi(太极).

Tai Chi is an ancient(古代的) martial art (武术). It is a common(常见的) kind of exercise in China. More than 100 million people in over 150 countries practiseTai Chi at present. Recently UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) has added Tai Chi to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). Many Tai Chi fans were happy to hear of it. “This will make Tai Chi more popular around the world. Hopefully, more people will become healthier by practisingit.” said Chen Bin. He is a Tai Chi master from the village of Chenjiagou, Henan Province. This village is the birthplace of Chen-style Tai Chi.

It’s true that doing Tai Chi is good for our health. It can make us walk and move more freely, and it can also make us stronger. During slow movements, we can focus on (专注) our hands and feet. We can control them better.

Tai Chi also focuses on the harmony (和谐) between yin (阴) and yang (阳). It shows how the ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang, dark and light, soft and hard, female and male. But they don’t oppose (对立) each other completely. As we see in the picture, a white spot is in the black area and a black spot is in the white area. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing — that is how we should see the world.

Tai Chi carries traditional Chinese philosophy(哲学), such as being in harmony with nature and using softness to beat hardness. It has become a symbol(象征) of Chinese culture.

81. How many people practiseTai Chi in the world now?

_____________________________________________________________________________

82. What are the movements of Tai Chi like?
