Perhaps you picture a building in a rather traditional design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine one of the classic concepts, such as the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Fine Art, or the National Museum. However, in the UK， some museums are bound to be considered a little unconventional and eccentric. No matter how uncommon your interest is, there's a museum for you!What about Neil Cole's Adventures in Science Fiction? This museum of classic science fiction was opened by founder Neil Cole. Visitors to this Allendale attraction in Northumberland can see items ranging from props used in the BBC series Dr Who to part of Thor's costume from the Avengers movie. “Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this,” says Mr Cole.If clocks are more to your taste, why not visit the Cuckooland Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this Cheshire collection of over 600 cuckoo clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world—and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.Finally, you could visit the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This offbeat,alternative institution bucks the trend of educating visitors through written explanations alongside its curios. Instead, it displays all of its odd treasures,which include dodo bones,shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.These are just a few examples. There are many more wonderful institutions out there that march to the beat of their own drum. All you have to do is go and find them!What does the underlined word “eccentric” in Paragraph 1 mean?.A. Wonderful. B. Unusual. C. Creative. D. Popular.22. If you are a science fiction fan, which museum will you choose?A. The Museum of Natural History.B. Adventures in Science Fiction.C. The Cuckooland Museum.D. The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities.23. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the variety of museums.B. To compare different museums.C. To recommend some unconventional museums.D. To explain the function of museums.BBritish researchers say they have created an artificial intelligence (AI) model that is highly "effective at predicting rainfall within the next 90 minutes.The model was built by scientists at Google-owned research company DeepMind in London. The company partnered with researchers at the University of Exeter in Britain and the Met Office, the British government's national weather service. The team says tests of the system showed produced more accurate predictions, or forecasts, for short-term rainfall than other existing systems.Accurate nowcasting can be a very important tool for preparing for possible weather emergencies. It can be used by officials in the areas of water management, agriculture, air and ground traffic control and outdoor event planning. "We were especially interested in the ability of these models to make predictions on medium to heavy-rain events, which are the events that most impact people and the economy," the team said. The scientists said their model aims to create predictive movies" of immediate weather patterns. They said that, unlike other systems,theirs can accurately capture large-scale events, as well as several different rain possibilities.This combination permits rainfall uncertainties to be deeply explored.During the testing process, the team said the model showed "statistically significant improvements in these areas compared to competing methods. In addition, the researchers reported that a group of more than 50 weather experts from the Met Office rated the AI model to be more accurate and useful in 89 percent of cases than existing forecasting systems.Despite the study results, researchers admitted that the model still has limitations. They said more work is needed to improve the accuracy of long. term predictions and the accuracy on rare and intense events." The team said it will now center on developing new methods to test and measure the model's performance. It will also work to create more specialized systems to work in real-world conditions.24. What do we know about the new AI model?A. The model is created by researchers of Met Office.B. The model can predict any rainfall within 90 minutes.C. The model needs improving in long-term forecasting.D. The model has been used in real-world conditions.25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The difficulty of accurate nowcasting.B. The relationship between weather forecasting and economy._C. The necessity of building the new AI model.D. The principles of the new model.26. Why does the writer mention the weather experts from the Met Office in paragraph 4?A. To prove the advantage of the new model.B. To compare the new model with the old systems.C. To explain the rule of weather forecasting.D. To show how the existing system works.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Existing Forecasting system Needs ImprovingB. AI Predicts Immediate Rainfall Better than Existing SystemsC. New Explorations in Weather PredictionsD. New Methods on Testing the AI Model's PerformanceCWith the first quarter of 2021 crossed out of your calendar, have you stuck with your New Year's resolutions? If yes, congratulations! Keep on doing it! However, it won't surprise anyone if you are among the majority of people who fail to make any changes.Procrastination, meaning delaying actions for one reason or another, may .play an important part here. For example, when we read a book or write articles, the efficiency will decrease if we have a cell phone close by and we have to finish the plans next day.Apart from procrastination, overconfidence may also be part of the problem.Israeli-American behaviorist Daniel Kahneman has identified something called “planning fallacy”. This means we believe our own projects will proceed as planned even though similartasks took more time.Why do we keep making this mistake? In his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman says it's because of “optimism bias”(乐观偏见)” . He also says we underestimate the time We will need. In one famous example, planners originally estimated the Sydney Opera House would be completed by 1963.It was actually completed in 1973, an entire decade later. Optimism and even overconfidence can generate false beliefs, leading us to overrate our abilities," Kahneman wrote.According to US writer Steve Pavlina, we could make a to-do list of upcoming tasks, and write down a rough estimate for how long we expect each task to take. Chinese news site Qdaily also noted, “People could use historical data in a proper manner. Previous experiences can helpthem see future trends.”Another way is to try and be more objective--take more of an outsider view. The ability to think about your experiences from a more detached point of view, rather than an immersed one, is important.These methods aren't enough to send a man to the moon. You also should take action right now.What is the text?A. A news report. B. A short story. C. A book review. D. An explanation article.29. Why can't the plan be finished in time according to the passage?A. The task is too difficult.    B. We don't like to take action.C. We lack confidence.       D. We overrate our abilities.30. What does Paragraph 5 intend to tell us?A. Ways to overcome optimism bias.  B. Opinions on oncoming tasks.C. Benefits of an outsider view.      D. Effects of previous experiences.31. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. These methods can make you more confident.B. These methods are not as effective as imagined.C. Using these methods can not guarantee success.D. Landing on the moon needs other ways besides these methods.DRussia has a history of beating the U.S. into space, and along with being the first to send a dog, man, and woman into space, they just became the first nation to send an actress and film crew up there.Scheduled for two weeks of filming aboard the International Space Station (ISS),actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko became the first humans to film part of a full-length film in space, beating out poor old Tom Cruise, who since 2020 had made his intentions to film a movie aboard the ISS clear enough to NASA.The Challenge will be a big-budget Russian film based on the story of a top surgeon(Peresild) who is called upon to enter the Russian-module of the ISS for an emergency procedure. While many films certainly feature space, it will be the first full-length fiction to be filmed on the ISS.A Soyuz rocket departed the Earth at 4:55 a.m. on October 5th, and arrived three hours later carrying Ms.Peresild, Mr. Shipenko and their experienced astronautical guide, Anton Shkaplerov. “It is almost impossible to believe that this all came to reality,” said Peresild,opening the hatch (舱门) and floating into the space laboratory. The pair will gather around 35 minutes of footage (画面) before departing on the 17th of October, leaving Shkaplerov behind to work.In September 2020, it was announced that Cruise and Director Doug Liman had booked a flight on a Space X rocket headed for the ISS in October 2021. Ever eager for a space-race,Russian Channel One and a film studio called Yellow, Black, and White jointly announced with the Russian space agency Roscosmos their own plans for a space movie.While Peresild and Shipenko will be set to come down soon, Cruise's October launch plans are still up in the air. If Tom Cruise needs a bright side to look on, it's that the last time Russia and the U.S. had a first-to space race, Russia got into space first, but the U.S. got to the Moon.32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Russia will control the ISS instead of NASA.B. Russia has a long history of sending humans into space.C. Russia became the number one in space travel.D. Russia won the competition against America to film in space.33. What can we learn about the Russian film?A. It is filmed by astronauts aboard the ISS.B. Yulia Peresild and Tom Cruise star together.C. It shows an urgent story happening on the ISS.D. It is the first film featuring space in history.34. What can we learn about the space travel?A. The rocket arrived before 7 a.m. on October 5th.B. Anton Shkaplerov is an experienced tourist guide.C. Peresild refused to admit the dream could come true.D. Peresild and Shipenko stayed in space for about 12 days.35. What does the underlined phrase “up in the air” mean in the last paragraph?A. Announced.  B. Unsettled.  C. Excited.  D. Checked.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。Study shows that wearing masks outdoors can protect against more than Covid-19 for people who suffer from seasonal allergies (过敏).
