This means a new cafe, a four-floor education wing and improved gallery space that can accommodate more visitors. The gallery’s permanent collection includes works by Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.‎ Being Brunel, Bristol To celebrate the life and work of famous civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunei, Being Brunei will open in March on Bristol’s harbourside. The museum will include a range of interactive and entertaining exhibits, including talking portraits of his friends and family and personal possessions, including an 1821 school report. It is a good place for families to strengthen connections.‎ Royal Academy of Arts, London The RA reopens on 19 May for its 250th anniversary, following a £50m renovation (翻新) with a gallery and expanded exhibition programme. These will include three day-lit galleries, which will host exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art and architecture. The grand frontwall of the Burlington Gardens building has also been restored—possibly the first time it’s had a proper clean in its 150 year history.‎ V&A, Dundee One of the most significant new openings of the year will be Scotland’s first design museum and also the first V&A anywhere outside of London on 15 September.

When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That’s where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.‎ Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad’s business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup’s choice."If Mrs. Wang needed this service, maybe other parents would as well, "Jessup thought.‎ After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed ￡1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据库)with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major personality characteristics, like honesty and optimism.‎ In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on studies.‎ ‎24. What’s the purpose of Special Name?‎ A. To help Chinese teens go abroad. B. To strengthen children’s personalities.‎ C. To pick an English name for a Chinese baby. D. To make a deal with Chinese parents.‎ ‎25. What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?‎ A. A suggestion from a business partner. B. Her interest in Chinese culture.‎ C. A Chinese mother’s request. D. A character from a play.‎ ‎26. What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future?‎ A. A woman with achievements. B. A famous actress.‎ C. A successful businesswoman. D. A western culture expert.‎ ‎27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?‎ A. It offers free service. B. It’s updated every day.‎ C. It’s operated completely by itself. D. It is easy to manage.‎ C Having an older brother comes with plenty of benefits. However, a new study finds an interesting downside: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.‎ The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon early research that having older brothers is associated with poor linguistic(语言的)development. Now, researchers say they have come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother show these linguistic difficulties. One would assume(假设) that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. But researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills. Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure many aspects of language development such as vocabulary and syntax(句法). What the research team discovered was significant: children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister. As far as explaining this phenomenon, researchers have given two assumptions. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents being less present than they were for their first child. The second assumption is that older sisters usually compete with their brothers and sisters less than older brothers for their parents’ attention.‎ So far, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they’d like to investigate it further.‎ ‎28. What does the word “downside” mean in the first paragraph?‎ A. slide. B. advantage. C. upside down. D. disadvantage.‎ ‎29. What can be learned from the passage?‎ A. Children with older brothers will speak earlier.‎ B. No one knows exactly the reason why children with brothers speak later.‎ C. Children with an older sister had a two-month delay in speaking.‎ D. Researchers studied over 1,000 children of all ages.‎ ‎30. What’s the weakness for the children with older brothers?‎ A. The parents will never care about them any more.‎ B. The older brothers will always fight with them.‎ C. The development speed of their linguistic skills will be put off.‎ D. They won’t enjoy life-long close relationships with the older brothers.‎ ‎31. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. Young brothers usually speak earlier? ‎ B. Having older brothers always benefits you?‎ C Parents love older brothers more? ‎ D Sisters often compete with brothers?‎ D Twenty-four trains, nine countries, 13,500 miles. They are the numbers behind the train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China. Roger Tyers, 37, spent a month on board trains and over $2,500 — almost triple(三倍的) the cost of a return flight— to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic research in May..‎ It was the climate crisis, not a love of trains, that drove Tyers to choose this route over a return flight. Tyers said that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned that the world has less than 11 years to avoid terrible levels of global warming. Tyers said that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions（排放） than a return flight. A passenger on a return flight from London to New York brings as much CO2 as the average person in the European Union does by heating their home each year, according to the European ‎ Commission.‎ Tyers is not the only person to avoid air travel in response to climate change. Thousands of people worldwide have publicly pledged to stop flying, including teenage activist Greta Thunberg, who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.‎ Activist Maja Rosen started the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year. Although only around 14,000 people signed the online "flightfree2019" pledge, Rosen said that the campaign had made more people aware of the urgency of the climate crisis and motivated them to travel by train more often. Rosen, who stopped flying 12 years ago, says one of the problems is that people feel there’s no point in what you do as an individual. The campaign is about making people aware that if we do this together, we can actually make a huge difference.‎ ‎32. How much will it take to fly from Southampton to Ningbo?‎ A. over $2,500 B. about $830 C. less than $420 D. $ 500‎ ‎33. What is Tyers’ intention of choosing a train journey? ‎ A. to stop flying to avoid terrible levels of global warming B. to stop flying to save money C. to avoid terrible weather D. to enjoy more scenery ‎34. What does the underlined word "Flight Free" mean?‎ A. take a flight for free B. take a plane freely ‎ C. not to take a flight D. take a free flight ‎35. From the passage we can know that _____.‎ A. many people shares the same point of view and just did the same as Tyers ‎ B. people have already been aware of the urgency of the climate crisis C. what an individual does is not really important D. Activist Maja Rosen achieved the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.‎ 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。‎ Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there.___36___ They teach you a lesson，or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.‎ ‎___37___They may be a roommate，a neighbor，a professor，a friend，a lover，or even a complete stranger. Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible at first，but later you will find that without those difficulties you would have never realized your potential.___38___It would be safe and comfortable，but dull and completely pointless.‎ The people you meet affect your life，help to create who you are and who you become.___39___In fact，they are sometimes the most important ones.‎ If someone loves you，give love back to them not only because they love you，but also because they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.‎ ‎___40___They have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.‎ Make every day count.
