She had requested the community to tum it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address ?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine..”‎ ‎ “Oh, stop. There it is!”‎ ‎ The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stare at us.‎ ‎ “May I help you?”a man asked. “No, “I said “We’re fine, “Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy（爱窥探的）, keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are? “he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum！ He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.”“what’s this place? “ asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.”My heart jolted（震惊）, I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally！ Come down immediately！‎ ‎ “There’s some really good stuff（艺术作品）up there.”She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place. “Outside when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.‎ ‎ The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together in case anything close unusual happened.‎ ‎ Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”‎ ‎ “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”‎ ‎ “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”‎ ‎ 24. What do we know about Marian McNay?‎ ‎ A. She was a painter. B. She was a community leader.‎ ‎ C. She was a museum director. D. She was a journalist.‎ ‎ 25. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?‎ ‎ A.

In places with poor city planning, for example Lagos, which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure（基础建设）blocks the streets with cars and the air with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.‎ ‎ These are just some of the factors added up by Spotahome, a rental agency. They've analyzed data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization, TripAdvisor and the CIA World Factbook to score each city on health, gym availability and quality, life expectancy, obesity, green space and other elements to make a list to work out which are the world's healthiest cities.‎ ‎ The list is certainly Euro-centric and sunshine is seen as a positive factor. It does go some way towards suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It may not be surprising to learn that most of the healthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its people-first approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well. However, the first American city is only in 34th place. The UK doesn't fare too well either-its only city in the top 50 list is London, in 40th.‎ ‎ Whether you're planning a wholesome holiday or simply wondering what your city can do better in its quest for happy citizens, the list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for thought about the future of city planning. Here are the slender, healthy-eating, clean-aired cities that are getting it right.‎ ‎ 28. What plays the key role in building a healthy city according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Local culture. B. City planning. C. Economic condition. D. Geographical position.‎ ‎ 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. How the list of healthiest cities came into being. B. What Spotahome discovered in the recent study.‎ ‎ C. The reasons why Spotahome carried out the study. D. The places where the data of the study came from.‎ ‎ 30. What can we learn from the text?‎ ‎ A. Cities in America lack enough sunshine. B. The UK ranked higher than America in the list.‎ ‎ C. Australia and Canada have the best city planning. D. Some people in Lagos may live a poor life.‎ ‎ 31. What may be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. The best places to have a rich life B. The happiest lifestyle in the world ‎ C. The city factors affecting your health D. The nice countries to keep healthy D ‎ A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?‎ ‎ Avoiding temptation（诱惑）is an effective method for maintaining self-control which is called the”out of sight, out of mind”principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.‎ ‎ The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.‎ ‎ Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.‎ ‎ The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don't try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won't require making decisions at all.‎ ‎ 32. From the studies in the passage we learn that ‎ A. people have unlimited self-control B. high motivation ensures one's success ‎ C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted D. too many temptations often lead to failure ‎ 33. The underlined phrase "tap into" in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________.‎ ‎ A. make use of B. run out of C. build D. increase ‎ 34. The author compares self-control to muscles ‎ A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower B. to show the significance of regular exercise ‎ C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control ‎ 35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?‎ ‎ A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.” B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”‎ ‎ C. “I will read an English novel every month.” D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”‎ 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 ‎ Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific activities.
