A House of Memories

It was a fine afternoon. Eddie was putting his toys into boxes. His family were about to move to a new house, and they needed their home cleaned for the next family. Eddie looked around his big and empty house, feeling a little sad. He liked this house and his friends—he did not really want to move.

Eddie followed his mother to the attic（阁楼）. Eddie’s father was already up there, looking through boxes of old photos. He handed Eddie one. It did not have much color left, but showed a young boy playing baseball in his backyard.

“Who is that?” Eddie asked.

“That is me, Eddie, when I was your age,” his father replied.

“Look! Here’s one of me,” Eddie’s mother said, handing Eddie another photo. In it, a young girl was playing hopscotch （跳房子）.

“You guys were kids?” Eddie asked.

“We weren’t born this old,” Eddie’s mother said, laughing.

Eddie looked at the photos some more. He had never seen his dad or mom playing baseball or hopscotch or other games. They were always working, cooking, cleaning, and driving. It was hard to imagine them as kids playing in their backyards.

Looking out, Eddie could see his backyard. He did have a lot of fun there, but he was not a little kid anymore. At the new house, he would go to a new school. He wanted to try out for the school soccer team and join the drama club. Maybe it was a good time to move after all.

As the family went down from the attic, Eddie picked up their camera, took it to his parents and said, “Mom, Dad, please take a photo of me playing in our backyard!”

40．Edie’s family cleaned their house for ________.

A．their visitors B．their friends C．the new baby D．the next owner

41．Eddie’s parents showed Eddie two photos to ________.

A．talk about their hobbies B．explain their plans

C．share childhood memories D．advise Eddie to move

42．What would Eddie think about moving house finally?

A．Acceptable. B．Troublesome. C．Surprising. D．Unpleasant.

Education doesn’t only take place in the classroom—it can happen anywhere. Museums are one of the places students visit for good reason. With their real artifacts（工艺品） and exhibitions（展览）, museums provide a nice environment to enrich students’ learning in different kinds of fields.

According to the International Council of Museums, there were about 55, 000 museums worldwide in 2017. Many of them are free, so schools needn’t worry about the costs.

An important role of museums in education is the experience they provide. According to ArtNews. com in 2015, there were three most-visited exhibitions in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art—“Treasures of Tutankhamen”, “Mona Lisa” and “The Vatican Collections”. What all these exhibitions have in common is their historical importance and the one-of-a-kind experience that the visitors have. To read or hear about the artifacts is not the same as seeing them in person, which can be a life-changing experience. “Mona Lisa” is the work of art with great value. Standing face-to-face with such a famous work with one’s own eyes can bring students a new understanding of the work, an experience that they can’t get anywhere else.

In the classroom, educators can teach students through talks, videos, or readings. Museum trips can not only excite students, but also serve as a supplement（补充）for things discussed in class. In museums, students can connect what they see with their class experiences. Therefore, students can have a complete understanding of the thing more easily.

As museums have much to do with history or artifacts of the past, it has been a difficult task for them to keep up with the technologies of today. The competitor of a museum is short videos or computer games, instead of other museums. Museums have chosen to bring technologies into exhibitions. For example, Wi-Fi allows the guests to get the museum app, which serves to better the exhibits. Although technology is getting a stronger hold on the world, there is still the want for a real museum experience in education, especially with our students.

43．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Students can learn many things in museums.

B．Museum trips will cost schools a lot of money.

C．Museum trips are usually boring for the students.

D．Students mainly learn through reading in museums.

44．The writer mentions “Mona Lisa” in Paragraph 3 to show that ________.

A．it’s a world-famous art work of great value

B．it’s a special experience to see artifacts in person

C．museums help educators teach better outside school

D．museums provide students with a chance to learn history

45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．How can museums help educators? B．Why do museums need technologies?

C．How should students learn in museums? D．Why do students still need to visit museums?

We all have trouble, and often make mistakes. However, many of us find it hard to admit（承认）them to others. So most of us would keep the problems to ourselves. We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others see us as not good enough.

The good news is that our worries about the negative evaluations（负面评价）from others may not seem as serious as we imagine. A research suggested that we saw our act of showing weakness more negatively than others did, and researchers called this the “beautiful mess effect（效应）”. In other words, we may not be such a mess as we think.

This effect can stop us from sharing our true feelings and needs, which can actually have many advantages. For example, studies show that sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust, while saying sorry sincerely could repair a fractured relationship.

Therefore, researchers wanted to know how we could get over the “beautiful mess effect”. Their new experiments suggest that being self-compassionate（自我同情）can be very helpful when we want to find beauty in the mess of our own weakness.

In the study, researchers invited 340 university students to take part in four experiments. In one of them, students were asked to imagine themselves or another person admitting to their boss that they’d made a huge mistake on a project. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness? Finally, researchers evaluated how self-compassionate the students were.

The study showed that students with low self-compassion evaluated their own act more negatively than when they imagined others admitting the same mistake. Highly self-compassionate students, on the other hand, were not much influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. In other words, self-compassion helps us evaluate our act of showing weakness more fairly, stopping us from being too hard on ourselves.

Luckily, our level of self-compassion is not fixed and can be raised if we want to. With a kind and caring attitude towards ourselves, we can become more comfortable with showing our weakness. This practice, in turn, can improve our relationships.

46．Why do people keep their problems to themselves according to the passage?

A．To make as few mistakes as possible. B．To protect their personal information.

C．To build nice relationships with others. D．To stay away from negative evaluations.

47．The word “fractured” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．beautiful B．possible C．healthy D．broken

48．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．we have more advantages than we think

B．others don’t think we are a mess as we do

C．it’s easy to share our weakness with others

D．we can’t get over the “beautiful mess effect”

49．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To discuss some ways to get over weakness.

B．To encourage people to be self-compassionate.

C．To invite people to share their worries every day.

D．To introduce the risks of the “beautiful mess effect”.

九、阅读回答问题

阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。

Have you ever seen a koala somewhere? Koalas, which are often called koala “bears”, are tree-climbing animals and are seen as national symbols of Australia. However, recently the Australian government has announced（宣布） that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country.

As a matter of fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021, especially in New South Wales, according to a report from the Australian Koala Foundation. If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050, a research in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals, “Josey Sharrad. a manager with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said seriously.

Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate（气候）change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon — with dead and dying trees everywhere.

After WWF-Australia and the International Fund for Animal Welfare called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April the government promised they would get more public support and protect koalas’ home — they live in the forests and woodlands.

The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent S13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million doing better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years.

“We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national symbol, “Environment Minister Susan Ley said.

56．例文

Possible version 1:

There are many special places in Beijing. The Great Wall, the Palace Museum, the Science and Technology Museum and many other wonderful places are all great. But I would like to choose the Olympic Park as a symbol of Beijing.

The Olympic Park is located in the north of Beijing. It was the main place for the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The park is now a symbol of the development of China’s history and culture. It is a beautiful place with green trees, beautiful flowers and a clean river. Naturally, it is a wonderful place for people to relax, exercise and have fun.

The Olympic Park is a symbol of Beijing because people can not only get a deeper understanding of the history and culture from here, but also can get a better idea about how science changes people’s life. It offers us a great chance to explore a bit about Beijing.

Possible version 2:

There are many special places in Beijing. The Great Wall, the Tian’anmen Square, the Science and Technology Museum and many other wonderful places are well known all over the world. But here, I would like to choose the Palace Museum as a symbol of Beijing and make a brief introduction.

The Palace Museum is located in the middle part of Beijing. There are many beautiful wooden buildings, where the emperors and their families used to live. Visitors can also see the treasure shows in the exhibition rooms. Moreover, there are many photos that tell people how the palace has changed and developed. The Palace Museum is so popular that it attracts millions of visitors home and abroad every year.

The reason why I regard it as a symbol of Beijing is that it shows the development of China’s splendid history and culture. Most people fall in love with it at the first sight. Walking around in such a beautiful palace is sure an enjoyable experience you will never forget.
