    【题目】 Paris is a museum city. There are hundreds of them, big and small. But, most importantly, they are excellent, some of the best on the planet. From the Louvre to the Musée d’Orsay to the Centre Pompidou, you could spend a lifetime wandering the halls of the city’s great museums. Here are some of the best museums in Paris.

    The Louvre

    The world’s ultimate museum is also the biggest one and the most visited. The 35,000 art objects on display are all overshadowed by one single painting—Mona Lisa, in the Renaissance era.

    Jeu de Paume

    Set in the Tuileries Gardens next to the Louvre, Jeu de Paume’s past lives were of a tennis court and then a museum which housed Impressionist art. Today it is Paris’s main photography and video museum. It also occasionally shows art-house films.

    Musée d’Orsay

    Housed in a former railway station on the Left Bank of the Seine, the museum opened in 1986 and today houses the planet’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks. If you like 19th-century natural landscapes with rural lives and tastes, this is the place to take it all in.

    Musée du Quai Branly

    As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism. There are objects from Quebec and Louisiana from the time when the regions were under French control. There are also Indian sculptures, masks from West Africa and other aesthetic delights.

    【1】Which is the best and most admired exhibit in the Louvre?

    A.Mona Lisa.B.Renaissance.

    C.Lady Era.D.Unknown.

    【2】Which museum houses Impressionist art nowadays?

    A.Jeu de Paume.B.The Louvre.

    C.Musée d’Orsay.D.Musée du Quai Branly.

    【3】Musée du Quai Branly is different from the other three in that _________.

    A.it houses non-European objectsB.it used to be a tennis court

    C.it shows the 19th-century rural sceneryD.it is Paris’s largest museum

    【题目】 Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play an outsize role in their lives.

    The longtime leader of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO of TikTok (抖音).In doing so, Mayer will lake charge of an app whose influence over a lot of people has made it one of the most influential ，although controversial(有争议的) ,platforms of the era.

    Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s—minus a period as the CEO of Playboy.com—and he’s helped to acquire some important brands in film industry. More recently he's become known for his key role in the launch of the ll-important Disney Plus streaming service.

    Mayer was thought to be among the most obvious potential successors to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob Chapek，who ran Disney' theme parks unit.

    Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise,but his move to TikTok is unexpected. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance, is at a crucial moment in its short history—seeing enormous growth during the pandemic lockdowns but facing increasing criticism over its data-collection practices. As it rises in influence ,the company will surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and strict monitoring.

    In contrast, Disney has never been more delicate, with the coronavinus pandemic having broken nearly all of its core business units, from the close down of theme parks and movie theaters to ongoing interruptions to its production schedules. Mayer，whatever else is motivating the move, is hopping( 跳) to another position at a proper time.

    【1】What's the text mainly about?

    A.The job-hopping of a CEO.

    B.The rising influence of TikTok.

    C.The decline of the Walt Disney Company .

    D.The intense competition between companies.

    【2】What's the likely reason for Mayer's departure from Disney?

    A.He had been offered a higher salary

    B.He wasn't qualified for his previous job.

    C.He preferred a new career concerning teenagers.

    D.He failed to succeed Bob Iger as a CEO of Disney.

    【3】What do we know about TikTok according to the text?

    A.Potential but delicate.B.Profitable but immoral.

    C.Popular but controversial.D.Professional but addictive.

    【4】What is the purpose of the text?

    A.To advertise for Disney.B.To report of news.

    C.To recommend a new app.D.To compare two companies.

    【题目】 Although you can possibly get by as a tourist in weeks, mastering a language is a long-term commitment taking years, not months. The FSI has classified languages in degrees of difficulty for English speakers. Chinese takes approximately 88 weeks or 2,200 hours ranking top 5 along with Arabic, Korean and Japanese.

    Each Chinese dialect is effectively another language but Mandarin(Putonghua in Chinese, which means the common language)is considered the official tongue in modern China. They all share roughly one evolving writing system, referred to as written language invented for administering a large, diverse empire.

    To complicate(使复杂)the matter further, there are two main types of written Chinese characters under the same writing system: the traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong and Taiwan and the simplified Chinese in mainland China. For example, fly is written as 飛 in traditional Chinese and 飞 in simplified Chinese. They’re basically the same character written in two different ways but pronounced differently when spoken in different dialects.

    Each written word when spoken is mutually incomprehensible between a Mandarin speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. If you think that’s odd, consider our number system: the symbol “9” is universally recognized but it’s pronounced “nine” in English and “devet” in Slovenian.

    Every word must be memorized separately as you can’t guess its pronunciation from the script-but one could say the same of English if you consider plough, dough and tough.

    Meanwhile, dictionaries list words according to stroke(笔画)count. These go from one to over 60 strokes. The archaic character zhé- which appropriately, means “verbose” - has 64 strokes.

    And then there are the pronunciation challenges. There are four tones in Mandarin: high pitch (say G in a musical scale), rising pitch(like from C to G), falling(from G to C)and falling low then rising(C to B to G)- and if you think that’s difficult, there are nine tones in Cantonese. In Mandarin, there is a whole poem, “The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den” with just the syllable “shi” repeated 107 times in various tones. In other words, if you are tone-deaf you might as well give up now.

    【1】What do all Chinese dialects have in common?

    A.They were invented by the emperor.

    B.They have the same writing system.

    C.They evolve in the same way.

    D.They serve the same purpose.

    【2】Why does the author mention the symbol “9” in Paragraph 4?

    A.To prove different pronunciations of Chinese dialects

    B.To indicate the similarities in all languages.

    C.To show that Chinese is an odd language.

    D.To compare English with Slovenian.

    【3】What challenge does the author think is difficult to overcome?

    A.Complicated scripts and strokes.

    B.Different types of characters.

    C.Various tones.

    D.Too many dialects.

    【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

    A.Chinese has different dialects.

    B.Chinese is very difficult to learn.

    C.Chinese is an ever-developing language.

    D.Chinese sounds like music and poems.
