26、On account of the government shutdown, many of the city’s best attractions, such as the national museums, are closed. 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.
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 Museum, takes a community-focused look at African American history. So does the Banneker- Douglass Museum in Annapolis, which traces 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.
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.
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.

27、 In a northern Italian city, a Polish pianist sits down at an instrument that looks like an old-fashioned piano. As his hands float over the keyboard, the sound reaching his audience is remarkably beautiful, reminding people of a string quartet (弦乐四重奏). The amazing instrument is actually based on the design drafts Leonardo da Vinci made in his notebooks with the dream of reproducing a cooperative musical performance played from a keyboard.
The concert was a reminder that, even in an age of the Know-It-All, the breadth (广度) of Leonardo's interests was extraordinary. It covers not only painting, architecture, mathematics, engineering and numerous branches of science, but music too. “How many specialists would we need today to attempt Leonardo's researches?” asks Martin Kemp, professor of Oxford University. “At least 13. Maybe more.”
Leonardo da Vinci had astonishing powers of observation, and an exceptional talent for making connections between different areas of knowledge. From iconic paintings — “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper” — to designs for flying machines, Leonardo combined science and art to create works that have become part of humanity's story. However, the endless list of unpublished studies and unfinished artworks highlighted the fact that, outside the field of painting, his legacy (遗产) — as distinct from his genius — was modest. Because he failed to publish his theories and findings, hundreds of years were to pass before they were discovered by someone else.
Thankfully, with Leonardo's notebooks making their way to the greater public. people come to see his glory and realize how much we still have to learn. In his notebooks, we find such questions as, describe the tongue of the woodpecker. Why do people yawn? Why is the sky blue? He is passionately curious about everyday phenomenon that most of us quit questioning once we get out of our wonder years.
Being curious about everything and curious just for curiosity's sake, not simply because it's useful, is the defining trait (品质) of Leonardo. It's how he pushed himself and taught himself to be a genius. We'll never emulate Einstein's mathematical ability. But we can all try to learn from, and copy, Leonardo's curiosity.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph One?
A.To describe how a string quartet works.
B.To introduce a concert performed by a Polish pianist.
C.To show the pianist's talent in designing the instrument.
D.To serve as an example of how diverse Leonardo's interests were.
【2】What does the underlined word “modest” imply in Paragraph Three?
A.Leonardo's legacy was limited only to the field of painting.
B.Leonardo's artworks were not as good as those of other geniuses'.
C.Leonardo was humble and didn't want to show off his achievements.
D.People didn't have much knowledge of Leonardo's legacy before his works were discovered.
【3】What does the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A.Why curiosity makes a difference to us.
B.What quality defines Leonardo da Vinci.
C.What distinguishes Leonardo from Einstein.
D.How the public discovered Leonardo's notebooks.
【4】In which column will you possibly read the article?
A.Entertainment.
B.Science Fiction.
C.Art & Artists.
D.Breaking News.

29、Driving each other crazy
There’s a well-known joke: A woman is driving down a motorway and her husband phones her on her mobile. ‘Darling, be careful!’ he screams, ‘I’ve just heard there’s a car driving the wrong way on the motorway near where you are.’ ‘It’s not just one car,’ she says, ‘there are hundreds of them!’
And here’s another one: a man is driving his daughter and they are stuck in traffic. The little girl says, ‘I have a question.’ ‘What is it?’ asks her father. ‘When you’re driving, are YOU ever the stupid idiot?’
【1】 Is it because we recognize some truth in them? A lot of people seem to think that men and women do display quite different characteristics when it comes to driving, and in general, both male and female drivers tend to be quite critical of the opposite sex.
‘Men are too confident in their own abilities. They never listen, they never need a map. They’re always sure they know the way,’ says Cathy, whose husband rarely lets her drive the car. ‘They tend to drive too close to the car in front and they’re incredibly impatient. If there’s a car in front, they have to pass it even if it doesn’t make a difference to their overall speed. I think it’s some sort of territorial thing.【2】.
What do men think about women?【3】‘Women passengers can’t keep quiet,’ says Paul, a retired architect. ‘You know: “You’re going too fast”, “Can you see that pedestrian?”, “Didn’t you see that traffic light?” or “I feel sick. Can’t you go straight?” There’s always some comment.’
Despite men’s generally high opinion of their own driving skills, a report published in 2004 came down firmly in favour of women drivers.【4】There included driving within the speed limits, overtaking safety and conducting different strategies successfully, including signaling in good time, reversing and braking quickly. They also had a better awareness of other drivers on the road. There was only one aspect of driving where women did not perform as successfully as men and that was—no surprise—the ability to park their cars.
A.They have to be king of the road and everybody else on the road is an idiot
B.So what’s the point of these jokes?
C.Interestingly, one of their main concerns is about women as passengers.
D.There is no doubt that women are considered better passengers than men.
E.According to the report, women score more highly than men on almost all counts.
F.Why do we laugh at these jokes?
30、Many years ago, when I was a little child, my parents always moved from one place to another. Before I could even get _______ with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very _______ because of this.
But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair _______ me. Her best characteristics are her openness and _______. She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Without _______, I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a _______ girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone _______ to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt _______ and helpless and I was afraid that I would _______ her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so ________ to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great ________ she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my ________ were well-founded. I felt that the ________ between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I ________ her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her ________ with the boy, but I got no more message from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not ________. I had almost given up hope ________ she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked ________ but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said, “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ________ the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t ________ you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.

31、课本原文填空
We use both words and body language to e【1】our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by w【2】 their body language. Words are i【3】, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their f【4】.
Just like spoken language, body language v【5】 from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is a【6】 to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to d【7】 interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always a【8】 of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially p【9】 to make eye contact. In Japan, it may d【10】 respect to look down when talking to an older person.
