21、When people mention Paris, they often talk of it as a "museum city". What they mean by that is that it hardly changes. But there are several brand new or totally improved museums opening - and all of them look like they're worth a visit. The biggest of the bunch is the Bourse de Commerce: a former exchange building near the Center Pompidou that's been turned into a vast contemporary art space. It will host several temporary exhibitions each year, featuring works from the collection of billionaire Francois Pinault.
Then there's the Hotel de la Marine on Place de la Concorde. This former navy headquarters dates back more than 250 years. In its earliest days, the site served as a storage place for the king's furniture. It will be open to the public for the first time this week.
The Maison de Serge Gainsbourg will welcome the public for the first time this autumn. The main attraction will be the large living area, with its piano and Gainsbourg’s huge collection of sculptures.
The other major museum coming to the city is the Musée Carnavalet. Built in 1548 and transformed by the famous architect Mansart in 1660, this maison (豪宅) became a museum in 1866. It offers an overview of the city's history through paintings, artefacts and 30 "period rooms" moved from elsewhere in the capital. Its five-year, 58 million repairs have been entirely financed by the Paris mayor's office. Now that's the kind of "museum city" we can get behind.
【1】What can you do at the Bourse de Commerce?
A．Admire the king's furniture.
B．Study Mansart's design style.
C．Visit Gainsbourg's living area.
D．Enjoy a billionaire's collection.
【2】Where can you learn about the rich history of Paris?

D．They will be tourist attractions.
22、 As the temperature rises, sweaty humans are making a response that is further worsening the problem of climate change. At present, the world just has 1.6 billion air conditioning units, but these units use a surprising total of ten percent of all global electricity supply. While less than a third of families globally are so equipped, the most AC-addicted countries are Japan (in 91 percent of families), the US (90 percent) and South Korea(86 percent).
New research by the International Energy Agency (IEA) guesses that the total number of AC units is likely to increase to over 5.6 billion by 2050－equal to ten new units being sold every second for more than 30 years－with sales driven particularly by India, China and Indonesia. This will make the use of air conditioning one of the world’s largest demands for energy.
“Growing electricity demand for air conditioning is one of the most critical blind spots in today’s energy debate,” argues Faith Birol, executive director of the IEA. “With rising incomes, air conditioner ownership will skyrocket, especially in the developing world. While this will improve daily lives, it is quite necessary that efficiency performance be prioritized.”
Birol and the IEA stress the need for new efficiency standards to ensure that consumers are at least buying units that require significantly less power to function, therefore decreasing the total energy demand. Variations on the traditional “vapor compression” technology, which has formed the basis for AC units for more than a century, may appear really important. A water-based system was recently developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which uses 40 percent less electricity and produces only one by-product: drinkable water.
“Our cooling system can be tailored for all types of weather conditions, from wet climate in the tropics to dry climate in the deserts,” says associate professor Ernest Chua at NUS. “While it can be used for indoor living and commercial spaces, it can also be easily used to provide air conditioning for blocks of buildings in an energy-efficient manner.”
【1】The author mentions the number of air conditioning units mainly to show their ____________.
A.uneven distribution globally B.popularity among people
C.vital importance to humans D.high demand for electricity
【2】Which of the following statements may Faith Birol agree with?
A.Air conditioners should be more energy-efficient.
B.Air conditioners will be more and more expensive.
C.People’s daily lives should be improved in various ways.
D.People should use their air conditioners less.
【3】What do we know about the water-based system?
A.It has caused much debate about its effectiveness.
B.It’ll be a fundamental system for future air conditioners.
C.It seems to be environmentally friendly.
D.It appears different from the current technology.
【4】From what Ernest Chua says, we can infer that the new system ____________.
A.has different effects in different places
B.can be applied to nearly all situations
C.can greatly meet people’s cooling demand
D.will be brought into use in the near future
23、If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others' mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey (猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.
Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others' errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn't know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.
To investigate the brain's response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal's brains.
When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey's brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn't respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey's own mistakes.
Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another's errors. "You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle. " Ellen de Bruijn, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.
【1】 According to Paragraph 1 , animals' ability to learn from others' mistakes ______.
A. used to be ignored by humans
B. ensures that they will never fail
C. is being lost because of humans
D. helps them to survive better
【2】The underlined word "detecting" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".
A. correcting B. making
C. sensing D. drawing
【3】 In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ______.
A. the same buttons B. others' mistakes
C. one's own mistakes D. the monkey's brain
24、October sixteenth is World Food Day．This day is also the anniversary of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(F．A．O．)．The UN agency leads international efforts to defeat world hunger．It was created in 1945．

Muhammad Yunis．the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to improve the lives of poor people，as well as his Bangladesh microfinance organization，the Grameen Bank，has lent small amount of money to poor people who are unable to get traditional loans，especially women．Minister Yunis says that he plans to give his share of the one million three hundred thousand dollars Nobel award to good causes．He says he wants to establish an eye hospital and start a project to produce low-cost food for the poor．
