Museum director Axel Rueger called their return “one of the most special days in the history of the museum”.‎ The paintings were discovered last year by Italian police while they were searching suspected Italian criminals’ farmhouse near Naples for evidence of drug dealing. The two paintings were wrapped in cotton sheets. They were stuffed in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet when they were found.‎ The paintings were considered among the artworks most searched for in the world. After years in darkness, they can now shine again. They are back on display at the museum before being taken to the conservation studio for repair. Fortunately, they suffered remarkably little damage as thieves who had climbed up a ladder and broken a window to get into the museum in 2004 ripped them out of their frames.‎ ‎“It is not only a surprise that the works have been recovered but it’s even more surprising that they are in relatively unharmed condition,” Rueger said.‎ The museum director was on vacation when the call came last year from Italian authorities who believed they had recovered the paintings. He didn’t celebrate right away. He’d had calls like this before.‎ ‎“I was hopeful but also a little hesitant. Over these years, we had so many occasions when people phoned us, contacted us, claiming that they knew something about the whereabouts (下落) of the works and each time it was false, the trace went cold.” he said. “So ... the way has been full of disappointment.” But museum experts sent to Italy to check the authenticity（真实性）of the works quickly turned Rueger' s doubts into delight.‎ Rueger said the paintings are now back permanently at the museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh. “I’m very confident that everything is safe in the museum from now on,” he said.‎ ‎54. How were the stolen paintings found?‎ ‎ A. The police found them by accident. ‎ B. The arrested thieves gave information ‎ C. Some drug dealers offered clues ‎ D. The police knew the hidden place.‎ ‎55. What surprised Rueger most about the lost paintings?‎ ‎ A. They were stolen at night. B. They were found at last.‎ ‎ C. They suffered little damage. D. The search took 14 years.‎ ‎56. When Rueger got the call from Italian authorities, he _________.‎ ‎ A. didn’t believe them B felt quite relieved ‎ C. planned to celebrate D. doubted the news ‎57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Reuger gradually lost interest in the search. ‎ B. The number of false calls was greatly reduced.‎ ‎ C. Rueger felt cold because of too many false calls. ‎ D. The chance to find the paintings became slim.‎ C Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.‎ All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.‎ So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. ）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.‎ To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!‎ There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.‎ ‎58. From the passage we know that our dreams_____.‎ A．are imagination of our daily life B．are man’s curious look into the future C．have nothing to do with our feelings D．are to some degree connected with our feelings ‎59. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that______.‎ A．you are in a state of being cold B．you are in a state of being tired C．you are in a state of hunger D．you should have had your dinner that day ‎60. Older children often dream of examinations probably because_______.‎ A．they are interested in exams B．they are often worried about their studies C．they hope for better life D．they show much interest in their studies ‎61. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams _______.‎ A．is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable B．gives an exact description of our life C．provides us with information of dreams D．is of no use for us D Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl.‎ One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic(塑料) pearl (珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that pearl necklace! When she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said. "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday, Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the necklace for her.‎ ‎ Jenny worked on her housework very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands (跑腿). The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!‎ Jenny had a very loving Daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.‎ ‎ One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, do you love me?"‎ ‎"Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said.‎ ‎"Well, then, give me your pearls."‎ ‎"Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!" Jenny said. "But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?"‎ ‎ "Oh no, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one."‎ ‎ A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, "Do you love me?"‎ ‎ "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you."‎ ‎ "Well, then, give me your pearls."‎ ‎"Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy," the little girl said to her father.‎ ‎ "No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little ‎ one. Sweet dreams."‎ ‎ Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling (颤抖). "Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand.‎ With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet (天鹅绒的) box. Inside of the box were real and beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap one so that he could give her the real thing.‎ ‎62.What did Jenny have to do to get the plastic pearl necklace?____ . A.

About 60% of the students in Senior 1 hold the opinion that life in senior high school is far from relaxing.

They say that they find the courses are more interesting and the activities are more colorful, which surely benefit them a lot. ‎ As far as I’m concerned, we should balance our study and other activities and do everything effectively.
