This year it is expected to increase by 10 percent. Compared with other popular museums around the world, the number of visitors at the Palace Museum is very high. Last year the Louvre(罗浮宫) in Paris welcomed 8.8 million visitors and the British Museum in London received 5.8 million.A large number of visitors can bring a lot of money from ticket sales. But there are also worries that people will do demage(破坏) to relics(文物) and old buildings.To solve the problem, some people suggested taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum. In this way, visitors coming for ancient buildings and cultural objects will go to different places. “It is a sign of progress. Letting more people see these treasures is more important than keeping them in their original(原始的) place,” said Song Xiangguang, a professor at Peking University.However, Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, doesnt agree on this idea. He thinks that the most important thing in protecting the Palace Museum is to keep it complete. “The 1.8 million cultural relics and the historical buildings are two key parts of the museum. They cant be separated.” he said.Shan said that they are planning to increase the space that is open to the public. This will not only feed visitors curiosity(好奇), but also spread them out so they are not putting too much pressure on one area.Shan also wanted to set up an appointment system. “ If visitors make an appointment before they come, we can make better and different visiting routes(路线) for them.” Shan said.（1）How many visitors did the Palace Museum welcome in 2002?A . 14.2 millionB . 8.8 millionC . 5.8 millionD . 7.1 million（2）Why did some people suggest taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum?A .

Shan thought that more areas of the palace should be open to public.5. （8分）阅读理解 Jack is 10 years old, and I am his pencil. Im Jacks helper(助手).Jacks pencil box is my home. I have some friends here.

And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain remains more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report that they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it first-night influence. In Japan they say, If you change your bed, you cant sleep, said Yuka Sasaki, one of the reports writers. You dont sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart(间隔).They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they dont know if the left half keeps watch all night, or whether it works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night .They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is looking out for us in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.（1）How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers? A . Once.B . Twice.C . Three times.D . Four times.（2）The researchers found _ during the first deep-sleep period. A . the brain waves remained the sameB . the brain activity helped with sleepC . the right half of the brain kept watchD . the left half of the brain was more active（3）Which of the following is one of the questions that remain? A . Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.B . How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.C . Why the brain activity is always on the left half at least during the first period of deep sleep.D . What people can do when they cant sleep well.（4）The underlined word calming has the closest meaning to _. A . pleasingB . differentC . seriousD . strange（5）What is the text mainly about? A . What we will have to do to sleep well.B . How researchers measure brain waves.C . Who doesnt sleep well in a new place.D . Why its harder to sleep in a new place.六、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)10. （5分）不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯。请根据以下信息，写一篇短文介绍各国不同的餐桌礼仪。 中国人用筷子吃饭，嘴巴不应该在进餐时发出响声。日本人吃面条或饮茶时嘴巴发出响声是礼貌的，表示对食物或饮品的美味的称赞和对主人的感谢。西方人用刀叉进食，一餐可能会用到多套刀叉，欧洲的餐桌礼仪比美国更复杂些。写作要求：语句连贯，词数80100。第 17 页 共 17 页参考答案一、 完形填空。 (共1题；共15分)1-1、二、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共36分)2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、2-5、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、3-5、4-1、4-2、4-3、4-4、5-1、5-2、5-3、5-4、三、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共14分)6-1、7-1、四、 语法填空。 (共1题；共10分)8-1、五、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共10分)9-1、9-2、9-3、9-4、9-5、六、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)10-1、
