Inside the Rain Room
The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren't getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.
The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!
Welcome to the Rain Room
The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoat will be turned away.
This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.
Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10minutes.
(1)What's the purpose of the text?
A.To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.
B.To explain how an exhibit has been created.
C.To describe the technology used in the exhibit.
D.To promise the artists taking part in an exhibit.
(2)What's the function of the exhibit's tracking system?
A.To keep visitors from getting wet.
B.To protect the exhibit from water damage.
C.To time how long visitors are in the room.
D.To count the number of visitors in the room.
(3)What must you do when visiting the Rain Room?

C.Leave your camera outside.
D.Pass through within 10 minutes.

【答案】
(1)A
(2)A
(3)D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了Rain Room,目的是吸引参观者。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第二自然段中的“It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!”以及表格可知,作者通过介绍Rain Room是来吸引参观者。故选A。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that.”可以知道,这个跟踪系统可以感知参观者的移动,并且在参观者停留的地方停住雨,也就是让参观者避免淋雨。故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。根据表格第一点可知,不能带雨衣,所以A错误;根据表格第二点可知,不能穿暗色衣服,所以B错误;根据表格第三点可知,拍照是允许的,所以C错误;根据表格第五点可知,参观时间不超过10分钟,所以选D。

【题目】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。
You might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you've already achieved fluency in a foreign language..
Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each individual must determine what the term means..
Perfect fluency means knowing every word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and easily and having no accent.. You aren't familiar with every word of your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even in your mother tongue.
Quick fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because “Master a Language in Two Months!” sounds way catchier than “Fluency in Twenty Years!”. It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.
. Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn't matter.
Literary fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It focuses on the more intellectual(知识性的) side of a language: indulging in literature, attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.
There are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially(可能地) be, but that's up to you to figure out.
A. It sounds too good to be true.
B. However, Nobody is “perfectly fluent” in any language.
C. Quick fluency is good if you have some sort of deadline.
D. But have you ever considered what fluency really means?
E. But does fluency have the same meaning to other person as it does to you?
F. Unlike perfect fluency, native-like fluency is a reasonable and attainable goal.
G. To assist you in determining what fluency is, I'll describe a few different types of fluency.
