Every year, thousands of teenagers take part in programs at their local art
museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life?
A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives,
even years after the fact.
The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the
Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct
a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.
They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have
been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to
36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program
experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school
and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most
important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that
they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their
actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens
enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants
had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an
art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of
program alumni work in the arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific
art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of
engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the
Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with
their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts
education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical
thinking skills.
5. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Changing the course of children’s life.
B. Taking part in childhood art programs.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.
D. Remembering the time at museum events.
6. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?
A. The result of the study.
B. The process of the study.
C. The approach to the study.
D. The object and content of the study.
7. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?
A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.
B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.
C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.
D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?
B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?
C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?
D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?
C
Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with
seeing detectors(探测器) to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the
sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No, the robot
would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would
probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next
morning.
According to evolutionary(进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a
regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny
that sleep provides some important restorative （恢复性的）functions. It merely says
that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the
sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes
looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep
lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.
The evolutionary theory explain the differences in sleep among creatures. Why
do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not
need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to
have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely
to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours
eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot
afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability
to run away from attackers.
9. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _______.
A. the differences between robots and men
B. the reason why men need to sleep
C. about the need for robots to save power
D. about the danger of men working at night
10. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______.
A. keep up a regular pattern of life
B. prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C. avoid danger and inefficient labor
D. restore his bodily functions
11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and
waking.
B. The study of sleep is an important art of the evolutionary theory.
C. Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.
D. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph？
A. To introduce a new technology B. To discuss a problem
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. To lead in a topic D. To compare robots and human beings
D
The traffic in Lagos, Nigeria's capital, is enough to make the most patient
travelers mad. A rush-hour commuter（通勤者）can take three hours to go 15 km.
Office workers try, often in vain, not to fall asleep at their desks after hard and sweaty
journeys. Globe-travelling managers are never sure whether they will catch their
flights.
A person who benefits has been the okada rider. On his cheap motorbike taxi, he
often carries an entire family or a week's groceries, ducking through the traffic. His
wildly time-saving ways include riding on the wrong side of the road and ignoring red
lights.
But Babatunde Fashola, Lagos's popular governor, is banning okadas as part of
his push to put the city in order. On September 1, Mr. Fashola banned okadas from
many of the coastal city's main roads and bridges. Many Lagosians say that, though
he has actually banned okadas, the governor has failed to provide alternatives.
Many poorer Lagosians, facing long journeys from the countryside, must now
use far slower taxis or unlicensed minibuses. Richer people who have always used
their own cars are also complaining（抱怨）as the jams become even worse.
Mr Fashola notes that the untrained riders cause many accidents. Of the dozen,
five admit to having had serious crashes. One has an open wound on his leg. Another
lifts his T-shirt to show a scar on his chest. Mr. Fashola, who took office in 2007, has
been trying to set up a proper public transport system. A bus system with its own
lanes started running in 2008.Two railway lines are promised, though it is unclear
when they will be laid.
But many think the campaign against okadas is not mature. Whether Mn Fashola
can successfully carry out his measures is another matter. After he previously ordered
okada riders to buy helmets, many wore old paint cans and melon rinds （ 瓜皮 ） .
13. What in particular annoys Lagosian commuters?
A. Not having fixed taxi fares. B. Wasting time in traffic jams.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. Not having punctual flights. D. Missing scheduled appointments・
14. Why did Mr. Fashola ban okadas?
A. To promote the use of taxis.
B. To introduce new alternatives・
C. To make himself a more popular governor
D. To create a city with a good transport system
15. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?
A. The green concept is most welcome in Nigeria・
B. Lagosians are creative and full of imagination.
C. Lagosians didn't fully support Mr. Fashola's measures・
D. The campaign against okadas didn't catch public attention.

It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving
through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with
Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car．
Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing?”I
cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from
home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers
from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open
windows．
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign
showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat
annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone
there?”She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled
slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist( 前台接待员 ) .”“What?”She laughed at my
confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,
especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke
again，“Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving
flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂enough of a thank for me. ”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was
our car that broke down!Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I
understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed
impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way．
