Visiting 300,000 Works of Art in Paris Right Now

Stuck at home? You can still visit thousands of the greatest artworks in the City of Light for free. The cultural board of Paris' free city museums sorted through the city's top public museums to share must-see artworks.

The museums

Two are great writer's homes — Balzac and Victor Hugo — filled with period details as well as art designs. The Catacombs and the Crypts have collections of sculptures made out of bones. The best known is likely the Petit Palais with well-known works, including Claude Monet's Sunset on the Seine.

The artists

You can try searching for the most successful or the ones you're most interested in, or just start wandering, which is a great way to find fascinating paintings by lesser-known, but no less talented, artist like George Desvallieres.

The works of art

Don't know where to start? Search for Paul Cézanne's romantic paintings of women, depicting two young women lounging on the banks of the Seine which can be downloaded for free on the Paris Musées site.

  From my earlier memory of Mother, it seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.

I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.

“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.”

Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.

“I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.

In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.

24.How did Father impress the author?

A.He liked writing stories. B.He talked a lot.

C.He was a very young man. D.He was popular with children.

25.Before the end of her life, Mother ______.

A.looked quite young B.looked like an old lady

C.looked younger than she was D.looked like a 40-year-old woman

26.What does the underlined word “inquisitive” (in Paragraph 2) probably mean?

A.Certain B.Curious.

C.Cautious. D.Confident.

27.What do we learn about Mother?

A.She was lazy. B.She was strict.

C.She was proud. D.She was special.

C

Workers are returning to their careers, or starting new ones after age 65.

More than ever, work is where many of us get our sense of purpose. That doesn’t end at age 65. After being retired for only three months, Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years. She is now working part-time in a position created just for her. “It’s perfect,” she told The New York Times. “I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average life span for those who reach age 64 now getting all the way to 84 years old, those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.

Job sites connected toward part-timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work. Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a clerk for large banks at age 63. He’d thought about retiring then. “But part of me just wanted to keep working partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career,” he said.

The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on, so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work. And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use, they may well have more flexibility than mid-career people. Two-thirds of retirees who’d come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed. Legal work and community service were popular choices, as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.

Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea, but it can cause issues for retirees, including effects when they claim Social Security (申请社会保障) benefits early.

28.How does Sue Ellen King like her work?

A.Interesting. B.Satisfying.

C.Boring. D.Encouraging.

29.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Giving an example of successful returning to work after retirement.

B.Why Sue Ellen King found a nursing job.

C.What is Sue Ellen King’s work.

D.Giving an example of working full-time in a university.

30.What was the main reason for Fred to have a part-time job?

A.He was out of work. B.He could help large banks.

C.He had personal crisis. D.He liked continuing working.

31.Why do the retired like meaningful jobs?

A.These jobs have more flexibility.

B.These jobs have lots of potential.

C.They don’t care much for salary.

D.They can’t do very hard jobs.

D

Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals. The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so-called disease “spillover” from animals to humans.

“As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly,” said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fair argues that by shifting  animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent. “Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change,” Fair said.

Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair’s team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases. It’s early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak. Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food. Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s.

“We’re going by the past data to really predict what’s going to happen in the future,” Fair said, “And so, anytime you increase that wildlife-human interface, that’s sort of an emerging disease hot spot. And so, that’s just increasing as we go forward.”

Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’s public health school, argues we don’t yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. For example, mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year. As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up.

32.How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair?

A.By breaking animals’ habits.

B.By increasing animals’ varieties.

C.By promoting animals’ breeding.

D.By changing animals’ living environment.

33.What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3?

A.Explaining the influence of Nipah virus.

B.Proving the harm of bats to human beings.

C.Showing the effects of climate change on disease.

D.Presenting scientists’ early study about the cause of disease.

34.What can we infer from Fair’s words in paragraph 4?

A.Humans should give up studying animals.

B.Past data can solve the problems in the future.

C.Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out.

D.Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks.

35.What could be the best title for the text?

A.Climate Change and Disease Spillover

B.Animals’ Interaction with Humans

C.Scientists’ Prediction for Disease Outbreaks

D.Early Studies about Extreme Weather

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

   Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your memory and perform well in your exam? Try the following methods.

● Try the Memory Palace.

For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen.   36   Through this way, you can memorize these words easily.

● Create your own songs.

This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember.  37 

● Take some deep breaths.

  38   If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam. You should put some energy into de-stressing but “turning of” stress is easier said than done. That’s why scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice tests are not only a scientifically supported means of improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations.

●   39 

If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15 minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a simple walk can make a difference.

There are so many suggested methods for you.  40   If you know that studying alone works best for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school.

A.Reread your notes.

B.Try a mini workout.

C.We know exams are stressful.

D.Skip out all the practice tests on purpose.

E.You need to think about the way that suits you best.

F.The more interesting you make them, the better the result will be.

G.Then you can mentally travel through your house to recall each word.

    Some of the greatest problems we face today are concerned with the gradual destruction of our environment. Brown clouds; wildlife    41   ; polluted water. These    42    all seem so huge. So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don’t have to    43   .

But does it do any good?

I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟). These beautiful birds gather in      44    groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time    45    for migration, a few flamingos start the process by taking off from the lake. But    46    of the others seem to notice, so the tiny group returns.

However, the next day they    47    again. This time a few more struggle along with them, but the vast majority still    48    no attention, so these pioneers come back.

The    49    continues for several more days. Every time a few more birds join in but,    50    the thousands of others still take no    51   , the great migration plan is once again    52   .

Then one day something    53   . The same small group of birds takes wing and a tiny number more join in, just as before. And this time their total number, though still quite    54   , is enough to tip the balance. As one, the whole group takes flight and the migration    55   . What a    56    sight it must be – thousands of flamingos taking to the sky at once!

A few can make a    57   . It’s true that all of the great problems of the world have been solved because of the    58    efforts of a few.

If you believe in a cause (事业), don’t    59   ! Others will someday take notice and together we will    60    even our greatest problems.
