Its collections, which number more than 13 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present.The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries was largely a result of an expanding British colonial footprint and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions. Until 1997, when the British Library （previously centered on the Round Reading Room）moved to a new site, the British Museum housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored（赞助）by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Since 2002 the director of the museum has been Neil MacGregor.Admission and opening hours:The museum is open every day from 10am to 6pm （Fridays 10am to 5:30pm）and it charges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions.How to get there:By train: 7:00-18:30 every day. By Underground: 8:00-18:30 every day. By bus: 7:30-18:30 every day. By coach: 7:00-19:30 every day. Nearest underground stations: Tottenham Court Road （500m） Holborn （500m） Russell Square （800m）1.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone elses or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. words have a lasting effect on us B. not sticks and stones but words will hurt usC. inspiring words give us confidence D. negative words may let us down答案解析：答案为A。本题考查段落大意。段落大意一般通过段落的topic sentence来体现，第一段的最后一句话 “the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.” 即为该段的 topic sentence, 故A选项正确.。2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are aloneB. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. talking to ourselves always gives us courage答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段 “This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.”可知，虽然77%的自言自语是消极的，但是自言自语可以激发我们，帮助我们记住事情、解决问题和使我们保持镇定。为了保持积极，我们对自己应该只讲鼓励的话语。由此可推断，自言自语让我们收益。故C选项正确，A选项错误。B选项只是一种现象，不是原因，D选项显得绝对，故均不选。3The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also occasionally _.A. give ourselves amusement B. praise ourselves C. remind ourselves D. make ourselves relaxed答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合划线部分的下文 “The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying Good job!” 可知，当我们完成了任务，考试考得好，或者打扫完房间后，要对自己说“干得好！”，故可推断划线部分应该意为表扬我们自己。4The author would probably hold the view that _.A. it is better to think twice before talking to others B. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersC. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressD. people tend to remember friendly words答案解析：答案为A。由倒数第二段 “Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.” 可知，作者认为在我们讲话前要想一想所讲的话受人喜欢吗？受人需要吗？如果不是这样，就最好不要讲。再结合最后一段，话语有着积极和消极的力量，因此我们讲话一定要小心。故答案为A，最好三思而后言。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。When Mike Jones signed on to be marketing director at an e-book publisher, one of the advertised benefits was the chance to work at home full time. Two years later, he loves the job, but hated the location.I was totally cut off from the world, Mr. Jones says. I was only working four or five hours a day because Id keep looking for things to do just so I could get out of the apartment.After months of searching for alternatives, Jones found Office Nomad, a shared workplace in Seattle that sells itself as individuality without isolation. The studio is labeled with a modern philosophy(理念) called coworking.The concept tries to combine the features of a company office with the flexibility of working from home. There are desks to rent, conference rooms to reserve, and still plenty of room to rest.Coworking meets the needs of those coming from the e-mail times. These laptop users represent a growing group of the US workforce, and many coworkers say others are bound to find similar arrangements.I couldnt figure out why I had to choose between freedom and community, says Brad Neuberg, the computer programmer who created the term coworking. I wanted both. So I started imagining what that would look like.In 2005, Mr. Neuberg found an empty hall in San Francisco and used it as the first coworking site. Every morning, Mr. Neuberg set up tables and waited for coworkers. For the first two months, no one showed up. But people started coming in and the word spread. Soon enough, he had started a movement. Coworking locations now come in every flavour: loose groups of individual workers such as Office Nomad, well-structured offices that offer more conveniences than some big companies.I prefer it to working from home. Im much more productive, says Heather Findlay, a local publisher. She can quantify her increased productivity: Shes a month ahead of schedule from last years publishing cycle.Because of the shared costs, coworking spots are often a great deal less expensive than renting a private office. Noisy neighbors are part of the attraction of Beta House, a coworking location in Cambridge, Mass. Taking up the top two stories of a multifamily house, the shared space feels like a union. About half of the dozen coworkers tapped on keyboards, while the rest chatted in the open kitchen area.59. Why did Mike Jones decide to change his workplace two years later?A. He hated the companys location.B. He hated to work far from his family.C. He had to work long hours with high pay.D. He had little human communication in his work. 60. We can infer from the passage that most of those who need coworking used to _.A. work alone B. earn a lotC. work in offices D. earn little61. Which of the following is the main advantage of Coworking?A. Enjoying working at home full timeB. Enjoying both freedom and communityC. Enjoying the noisy atmosphere of working in officesD. Enjoying more conveniences than some big companies62. Whats the best possible title of the passage?A. Growing workforce in the US B. Looking for shared workplacesC. Working together or alone D. Working free but not alone【参考答案】59-DA 61-6-2、BD 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,which was sunk in World War .
