Listed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao,Spain
Built in 1997,the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers' desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.
The Louvre in Paris,France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world,the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small,but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But,the Louvre is much more than a home to the “Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.
The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia,America
Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012,the Barnes Foundation is “unique” in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected,among others,the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence,Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace—like structure with frescoes(湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over(印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli,such as “The Birth of Venus”. Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.
1. Which of the following is the most popular?
A. The Louvre.
B. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
C. The Barnes Foundation.
D. The Uffizi Gallery.
2. What makes the Barnes Foundation particular?

People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.
Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.
4. What is the research mainly about?
A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.
B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.
C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.
D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.
5. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A deep desire to know about something. B. A special need to be more popular.
C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. D. Strong determination to improve oneself.
6. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
7. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.
A. to win praise from viewers B. to show off their cameras
C. to improve relationships D. to share good moments
C
Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.
One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.
At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’ re qualified for it.
Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.
Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.
Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.
For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.
8. The passage is mainly written to______.
A. introduce famous universities in the United Stales
B. show some practical ways to apply an ideal college
C. advertise for successful applications and advisors
D. offer tips to save money on college application fees
9. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?
A. Write down your favorite universities.
B. Reduce the number of your university choices.
C. Apply to two universities each time.
D. Mind your safety when applying to college.
10. Some schools offer free online application to______,
A. receive fees faster than before B. employ someone else to work
C. cut down the cost of employment D. enter the application information
11. It can be known from the passage that______,
A. application fee might be canceled conditionally
B. many countries attend College Application Week
C. applying for early admission is the best policy
D. admission departments determine your future

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
12. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?
A. Grey-colored dustbins. B. Red-colored dustbins.
C. Green-colored dustbins. D. Blue-colored dustbins.
13. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai
C. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens
D. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing
14. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Sort Garbage in China B. The Current Regulation in Beijing
C. Garbage Collection in Beijing D. Waste Recycling Project Counts
15. The passage can be sorted as ________.
A. a book review B. a travel brochure
C. an environment report D. a geography essay
