It may affect your social plans. That’s especially true if you have out-of-town visitors coming to the District. Don’t worry! For every closed museum, we’ve offered up a suitable substitute that is privately run, thus not subject to the shutdown. Here’s where you can go instead.‎ Anacostia Community Museum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture Alternatives: Banneker-Douglass Museum or Alexandria Black History Museum The National Museum of African American History and Culture is one of the hottest draws on the National Mall, with free tickets taken weeks in advance. Its sister museum, the Anacostia Community (社区) Museum, takes a community-focused look at African American history. So does the Banneker- Douglass Museum in Annapolis, which traces (追溯) the African American experience in Maryland, and the Alexandria Black History Museum, where exhibitions honor local activists and explore the influence of slavery in the area. And unlike the African American Museum, neither requires you to plan ahead.‎ Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Alternative: Glenstone Wandering through the galleries at Glenstone, you’ll come across some of the biggest names in 20th century art — Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Robert Rauschenberg. Glenstone sits on a 230-acre estate (土地) that doubles as an outdoor sculpture garden. Free tickets for Glenstone are often reserved weeks in advance, but 72 free tickets are available every day for anyone who takes a Montgomery County Ride-On Bus from Rockville Metro Station to the museum.‎ National Museum of African Art Alternative: The African Art Museum of Maryland Masks, musical instruments and jewelry can be found in Fulton, where the African Art Museum of Maryland houses a collection of traditional and contemporary African artworks and objects. And the best part, for visitors on a budget? Admission is free.‎ ‎21. Where can visitors go to explore the history of African Americans during the shutdown?‎ A. National Museum of African Art. ‎ B. Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. ‎ C. The African American Museum. ‎ D. Banneker-Douglass Museum. ‎ ‎22. What can visitors do at Glenstone?‎ A. Make sculptures in the outdoor garden. ‎ B. Get access to works of famous artists. ‎ C. Take a Montgomery County Ride-On Bus.‎ D. Enjoy a collection of contemporary African artworks.‎ ‎23. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To introduce different kinds of art exhibitions.‎ B. To advertise some private museums in the area.‎ C. To compare public museums with private ones.‎ D. To provide a guide to museums during the shutdown. ‎ B Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter; she still didn’t like us. ‎ As new teachers in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.‎ I wouldn’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school. We had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.‎ Well after 16 months in the school we had a secret friend gifting. To my surprise, I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret friend. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly ‎ acknowledged who our secret friend was.‎ I decided to gift her a coloured bangle（手镯）. I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose Marie.”‎ Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you gave your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said “My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.‎ Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.‎ ‎24. Why didn't Cala like the Western teachers?‎ A. They replaced her friends' positions. ‎ B. They were new comers.‎ C. They stopped befriending her. ‎ D. They had once offended her.‎ ‎25. How did the writer change Cala's attitude?‎ A. With the help of her friends. ‎ B. Through her love and blessings.‎ C. By showing her talent in music. ‎ D. Through her sincerity and wisdom.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can best describe the ending of the story?‎ A. Exciting. B. Beautiful. C. Complex. D. shocking.‎ ‎27. What does the writer intend to tell us?‎ A. Do nothing by halves. ‎ B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. ‎ C. A good act will be well rewarded. ‎ D. Without confidence there is no friendship.‎ C The age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on us in many different ways. ‎ It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we don't really have to remember much of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People aren't digging through their brains anymore to find answers. Here's the good news: we can still exercise our long-term memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we don't want to go down that road, we can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of an enemy.‎ It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our minds. This idea of instant satisfaction carries through too many other aspects of our lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful meditations （沉思）.Focus on our breath and realize everything doesn't have to move at lightning speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on our Pandora, too!‎ It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day? Whether we're doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing a research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we haven't used Baidu Drive, we should. Keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings exactly where we can easily find them. Keep a running list of websites we know we'll revisit.‎ Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we don't have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp and don't let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu god's bidding.‎ 28. Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat"?‎ A. at one point B. in no time C. in a way D. at a loss ‎29. Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?‎ A.We get used to Baidu's quick convenience. ‎ B. We can't get everything with Baidu.‎ C. We depend on ourselves too much.‎ D. We can't get quick services in real life.‎ ‎30. What is the author's advice on saving time online?‎ A. Emptying websites records timely.‎ B. Keeping papers correctly.‎ C. Being efficient with work.‎ D. Using Baidu Drive.‎ ‎31. What does the text mainly tell us?‎ A. The disadvantages and risks of the Internet.‎ B. The advantages and functions of Baidu.‎ C. The technology and influence of the Internet.‎ D. The side effects of Baidu and solutions.‎ ‎ D Photographic self-portraits have existed for as long as cameras have been in human hands. But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first: taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.‎ ‎“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, a director at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to internet culture. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.‎ Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s. In 1966, Aldrin used a Hasselblad camera designed specifically for space. Hasselblad also painted the first camera in space a matte(磨砂) black to reduce reflections in the orbiter window. But cameras used in space need to survive extreme conditions, like temperature swings from -149° to 248°F, so Hasselblad painted later model silver.‎ Astronauts visiting the moon then had to take out the film and leave their camera bodies behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions were limited by a weight limit on the returned trip. Then a big change in space camera technology came after the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003, Levasseur notes. “Fear that they’d never be able to bring film back from space and lose all that hard work accelerated the push for digital,” she says.‎ Today, astronauts also have access to internet and social platforms in space and can post true space selfies made using digital cameras. Similarly, space robots are participating in selfie culture, capturing remote pictures of themselves in space or on other planets and sending them back to Earth. ‎ ‎32. Why do selfies in space need to be digital according to Jennifer Levasseur?‎ ‎ A. Astronauts are fond of studying technology.‎ ‎ B. Astronauts are eager to be famous on the Internet.‎ ‎ C. Astronauts desire to communicate on social platforms.‎ ‎ D. Astronauts want to overcome the fear in space.‎ ‎33. Why can the Hasselblad camera adjust to the temperature changes in space?‎ ‎ A. It is painted silver. ‎ B. Its matte black gathers light.‎ ‎ C. Its design is special. ‎ D. It can reduce reflection itself.‎ ‎34. What contributed to the faster development of camera technology in space?‎ A. The heavy space tasks. ‎ B. A returned space shuttle. ‎ ‎ C. A spaceflight crash. ‎ D. The improved film.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. The Origin of Selfies in Space ‎ B. The Brief History of Selfies in Space C. The Significance of Selfies in Space ‎ D. The Popularity of Selfies in Space 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，选项中有两项多余。‎ Three simple keys to success Being successful means different things to different people. 36 My point is, the specifics involved in finding success can vary greatly, depending on your goal.‎ There are three basic components necessary for finding success, regardless of the specifics of your pursuit. And, since the desire for ownership is the driving force behind acquisition, I’ll use the word OWN as my simple three-item method for success.‎ ‎1.O-Opportunity: one of the most important components in finding success is being able to identify opportunity. It is to success what wind is to sailing. 37 Identifying opportunity is the first step; awareness sets your sails for success while your motivation provides the wind.‎ ‎2.W-Wisdom: By definition, wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. 38 It requires clear understanding, great insight and good judgment. Once opportunity is identified, you must use all your inner resources to seize it and make the most of it. 39 Finding success when opportunity presents itself often means reaching out for help in areas where you have weakness.‎ ‎3.N-Never give up: This might possibly be the most important for success. The key is to first break your goal down into workable parts so you don’t feel pressured, and then to work each part at ease with both enthusiasm and purpose. It takes a lot of time, effort and determination to succeed. 40 ‎ A. Being successful demands doing well.‎ B. But wisdom involves more than just knowing.‎ C. You simply can’t have one without the other.‎ D. Having this attitude keeps you moving in face of trouble and becomes the driving force.‎ E. Besides, wisdom means knowing your limitations.‎ F. You’ll finally succeed if you follow these steps.‎ G. The road to success is being largely determined by what result you want to achieve. ‎ 第三部分 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ Army veteran（老兵）Curt Payne is a long-time resident of Manchester, New Hampshire．If you happen to run into Payne on the streets of Manchester while he is volunteering, he will most 41 greet you with a friendly smile as he recites his commonly repeated words: “Peace, love, and we’re going to be alright.”‎ Back in 2001, Payne, who is often 42 by his nickname “Major”, was 43 disabled after a car crash that came very close to taking his 44 ．These days, Payne 45 countless hours to his volunteer efforts, cleaning up all around the Queen City and making the streets, public parks, and sidewalks a 46 place．“It’s the easiest job I’ve ever ‎ done in my life．And it’s the most 47 ,” said Payne with regard to the daily 48 he has taken upon himself．‎ Aside from his 49 nature, volunteer efforts, and overall positive energy, Payne is known among the community for riding around on his 50 bicycle.
