21、The world’s largest astronomy museum in Shanghai, China opened on July 18, 2021, with its architecture and exhibitions celebrating the complexity of the vast and largely unknown universe.

Most obviously, the museum’s surface is intentionally designed without straight lines or right angles to mirror both the continuous state of time and space and the complex gravitational relationships among suns, moons and stars in the universe. “This design draws from the classic ‘ three-body problem’ in physics, the unsolved question of how to mathematically calculate their movements,” explains Wong, the chief architect. “While the calculation can be carried out between two heavenly bodies, the orbits become messy and unpredictable with three.”

The complexity is also translated into the new museum’s three key attractions: the oculus (圆洞天窗), the inverted dome (倒穹顶) and the sphere.

Opening up above the museum’s main entrance is the oculus. It acts as a timepiece, producing a circle of sunlight that travels across the floor throughout the day to indicate the time and season.

Next comes the inverted dome that sits at the roof line. Inside the inverted dome, visitors are cut away from the view of the nearby urban context. It gives visitors the chance to have a sweeping view of the open sky. “We want people to have a real contact with the universe and understand the special nature of Earth as a place that hosts life, unlike any other place that we know of in the universe,” Wong said.

Built in the roof of the lower Museun wing, as if rising out of the horizon, the sphere gradually comes into view as visitors go around the building, the drama unfolding as though they were approaching a planet from one of its moons, allowing visitors to have an illusion (幻觉) of weightlessness or anti-gravity.

Other major elements in and around the new museum include a crowd-drawing range of temporary and permanent exhibitions, a 78-foot solar telescope, an observatory, an education and research center, and the digital sky theater.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The meaning of “three-body problem”.

B．The complex structures of the museum.

C．One of the museum’s architectural features.

D．The messy orbits among the heavenly bodies.

【2】Which might be used as a clock?

A．The oculus.

B．The sphere.

C．The observatory.

D．The inverted dome.

【3】What can visitors do in the inverted dome?

A．Have an unblocked view of the open sky.

B．Think about the meaning of life on Earth.

C．Experience the sense of weightlessness.

D．Observe the sun through a solar telescope.

【4】How is the text developed?

A．By time.

B．By space.

C．By giving examples.

D．By listing statistics.

22、Doug Falter, an American photographer, returned home, teary-eyed and exhausted. He pouted online that evening, "I lost my baby." That "baby" referred to a surfboard that had been custom-made for him. Hours earlier, a big wave had separated Falter from this prized possession.

Months passed with no sign of the surfboard. Falter saved money to buy a new surfboard for $ 1,500. But Falter never completely forgot the surfboard, which - six months later and more than 5,000 miles away from where it disappeared-floated to the southern Philippines.The local fisherman who found it didn't have much use of his unusual catch of the day, so he sold the board for s 40 to Giovanne Branzuela, an elementary school teacher. Branzuela hoped to leam to surf and one day share the skill with his students,who regularly accompany him on beach clean-ups.

The once-blue board had faded to a pale straw color during its journey, but its distinctive markings were still there: two elephants, one at either end. Underneath the elephants were the words "Doug Falter Surfboard".

Branzuela couldn't believe it on realizing how far the surfboard had traveled. He reached Falter online and sent him a photo of the surfboard. Falter was shocked to learn that his "baby"had drifted(漂流) across the world's largest ocean and survived. He was overjoyed.

But the story was far from over. Falter wanted to thank Branzuela with some surfing supplies for his kind act, but the teacher asked for school supplies instead, such as backpacks for his students and materials to help them learn English.

Falter said it made him raise money for the kids. So far, he has collected $ 2,500,which he has used to buy and ship maps, puzzles, classroom posters, textbooks, and workbooks.

【1】What happened to Doug Falter that afternoon?

A．His baby was lost on the beach.

A．He liked the pale straw color of it.

B．He found it belonged to Doug Falter.

C．He found the fisherman charged low for it.

D．He wanted to learn a new skill to teach his students.

【3】What can we infer about the surfboard?

B．Branzuela's students learned surfing with it.

C．It was returned to its owner after a long journey.

D．Falter sold it to help Philippine children.

23、   Shana,Robyn,and I stood on the high platform near the tops of the rainforest trees.We were wearing heavy helmets on our heads and had thick leather straps around our waists,which made seats that hung from a thick wire overhead.The wire was hung between the platform we stood on and another platform far in the distance.

This was the zip line,an adventure I had sworn I would not do on our family trip to Costa Rica.I was afraid of heights,afraid of falling,and afraid of zipping through the air above the rainforest at 30 miles per hour.Yet here I was,fastened in and ready to go.

“Who goes first?”our guide asked. My sisters exchanged a glance-neither of them stepped forward.I’d been teased for being a”scary cat”ever since I was four when I tripped(绊倒)and fell on an escalator.Even my parents,while relieved by my cautious ways,were worried that I’d miss out on enjoyable activities.No longer willing to let life pass me by,I stepped to the edge of the platform,sat back in the leather seat,and pushed off.Absolute terror filled me as I screamed and zoomed through the trees with my eyes squeezed shut.Before I could totally process what was happening,I landed safely on the second platform.

As my sisters flew in behind me,the guide attached me to the next wire,and I was off again.This time,fear was replaced with excitement,and I was able to look around me as I zipped.There-a toucan(犀鸟)!And was that a sloth(树懒) right at eyelevel?

By the time we had finished all the zip line journeys,I was shouting not with terror but with joy.And to think how close I’d come to missing it all!

24、Concerts should be a fun and enjoyable occasion for everyone attending them,including the musicians.No matter what type of concert one is attending,he is still expected to follow the rules concert etiquette(礼仪）. 【1】

【3】Take jazz concerts for example.People are usually not criticized for making a small amount of noise,as long as it is not troubling other audiences.For example,they may talk quietly during a performance.

Rock and heavy metal concert etiquette is very relaxed. 【4】 However,audiences are still expected to show some good manners during a performance.Also,rock concerts are often very crowded,particularly in the areas surrounding the stage.【5】 But one should still pay attention to his surroundings.Stepping on someone's foot repeatedly may cause a fight as well.
