When my father reported that he had just purchased a new house in new housing development, we were all overjoyed. For a long time, he had wished to purchase his own home. My parents had been living in several rental houses since they married. Finally, his fantasy had come true. We began moving our belongings into our new home on a bright and sunny Sunday morning. My father hired a lorry to transfer our goods, and I was amazed at how much we had. The lorry had to make three journeys before most of our belongings arrived at our new home. I enjoyed sitting in the back of the lorry while it made the excursions. My parents, grandmother, elder sister, and I were the only members of our family. However, the number of goods was surprising.

We had a busy day loading the items onto the lorry and then unloading them at our new home, but that was not the end of the story. We had to move the things into the house and arrange them properly before we could call the house a home. Our new house was a single-story house. It contained three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, two bathrooms, a small kitchen, a small front porch, and an even smaller garden. Modern dwellings (住宅) are extremely small for room, but it was better than nothing. In any case, it was a significant improvement over our former home, which was much smaller than the new one.

The kitchen was the first area we started organizing things. We needed to take care of our tummies (胃) before we could do any more work, so my mother set about creating her first meal in her brand-new kitchen, making the greatest tasting instant lunch I’d ever tasted. We moved on to the rest of our belongings after lunch. My parents got the largest bedroom, my grandmother and sister got the second largest, and I got the tiniest, right close to the kitchen.

6 . Getting to know Peru is to admire its churches, archaeological (考古的) sites, and houses with balconies, who are witnesses to the rich history and guardians of the cultural treasures of Peru. We invite you to discover the top 5 most representative collections.

Royal Tombs of Sipan

This is an exceptional exhibition of the Lord of Sipan, one of the most powerful men of ancient Peru, ruler of the Mochica Culture which dominated the Peruvian northern coast between 100 and 800 A.D. The Complex features the artifacts found within its tomb. The tour includes a visit to the archaeological site, which gives you a complete view of this magnificent discovery.

Lima Art Museum

Also known as MALI, the museum is home to a collection of more than 17,000 works exhibited in its permanent galleries including art, textiles and silverware from the first Andean civilizations to our days. In addition, the museum’s temporary galleries highlight local and international exhibitions. The building that houses the Museum is located at the entrance of Lima’s historic downtown next to a beautiful public park and is one of the most beautiful examples of architecture in Lima.

MATE

Peru’s most recognized photographer, Mario Testino, has gained a place as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers of our times. Here in Peru, he has written a new chapter in art’s history by restoring a beautiful 19th Century mansion to its former glory to home a non-profit museum that brings Peruvian artists and culture to worldwide attention. The museum offers the best of international contemporary art and photography through a program of exhibitions, residencies, and events, alongside a permanent display of his work.

Santa Catalina Convent

This is not just another religious building—the 20,000-sq-meter complex is almost a castle within the Arequipa City. Occupying a whole block and guarded by imposing high walls, it is one of the most fascinating religious buildings in Peru. Its main attraction is the mix of Spanish an native elements in the architectural style and the splendid works of art, such as the art gallery containing pieces of the Cusco School of paintings showing the life of St. Catherine of Siena, and the murals (壁画) that can be seen all over the place.

D．introduce most representative collections in Peru’s museums

7 . Many people may not find the idea of visiting Beijing's Forbidden City just to see its cultural relics(遗迹)very exciting. But what if you got to see deer there too? That certainly sounds like a better day out.

Nine deer were introduced into the Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, on Sept. 26 and would make it their home until February. The beautiful animals are part of an exhibition on deer-related relics, including furniture, clothes and artworks. In ancient China, deer patterns(图案)could be seen on lots of items since lu—deer—were considered to be a lucky animal because the Chinese word shares the pronunciation(发音)of the character that means “official salary(俸禄)”.

The deer in the Palace Museum are not only to be part of the exhibition, but also to act as ambassadors(大使)to attract visitors. “It’s a better way to bring cultural relics closer to the people,”explained Wang Yamin, a deputy director at the Museum, according to ChinaDaily.

Turning itself into a zoo is the latest effort that the museum has made at introducing academic(学术的)art to ordinary people.

In 2014, for example, the museum’s online store started to offer products such as T-shirts featuring the pattern of an emperor's coat, and earphones looking like the necklaces worn by ancient officials. These products soon gained popularity on social media because they allowed people to wear a piece of history.

Two years later, the TV series MastersintheForbiddenCity(《我在故宫修文物》)lifted the mysterious veil(面纱)on the experts who work in the museum—people whose job is to repair the relics within it. And while many of us may have imagined these workers to be old and boring, they're actually quite young and interesting. Some are even in their 20s. They lead a peaceful career, although it can sometimes be dull. Workers aren't allowed to wear any make-up or do their nails(指甲)because the chemicals(化学物质)may damage the relics they're working on, for example.

Little by little, the Palace Museum is shaking off the stereotypes(刻板印象)of being an old-fashioned academic institution. As Shan Jixiang, the museum’s director, once said, “Academic research is not alien from the public’s interest. We’d like to make visiting the museum a part of people's daily lives. ”

It looks like the Forbidden City isn’t so forbidden after all.

B．They are part of an exhibition as lucky animals.

C．They have been introduced to help attract visitors.

9 . People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites, a large study on navigation suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial skills.

Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.

On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably encountered lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.

What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, cognitive scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.

Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so,” Coutrot says.

Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more precise baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s disease, for instance.

1. What does the underlined word “urbanites” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Those who live close to urban areas.

B．Those who are from rural areas.

C．Those who are raised in cities.

D．Those who long for urban life.

2. How did the researchers carry out the study?

A．By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest.

B．By gathering data from the video game.

C．By recording electrical activities in brains.

D．By comparing various targets of the game.

3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?

A．City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.

B．Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.

C．There was no significant difference between city residents and outsiders.

D．The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.

4. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with?

A．Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.

B．Gender and education are key to developing navigational abilities.

C．A superior sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.

D．The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．How environment impacts early childhood development

B．Why is early childhood education important for our future

C．When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills

D．Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills

10 . “Don’t forget your water!” This is a familiar______whenever I leave the house. Water indeed is______— especially when one is 69 years old and might forget the ______and get trapped on Long Island.

This makes me think back to my______. In the early 1960s, when I left to play outside all day, my mother______ said, “Don’t forget your water.” There was no way to bring water or buy a water bottle back then. How did I______?

I was______to live on Long Island. My family lived on more than 50 acres,______cows, horses, sheep, ducks and chickens. Some 60 acres of woods lie on the east side of our little farm. That’s______I followed my dad, uncle and grandpa as they hunted rabbits, squirrels and pheasants. We had only seven TV channels. I______the remote control, changing stations at my dad’s request. Life was______and good.

In my third-grade year, I______Mom to let me ride my bike up Jericho Turnpike to go to school. You can’t imagine a mother letting a 10-year-old bike every day three miles into town. She______and I met about 10 to 12 other guys for baseball or football. We played wildly without water. Not to say we didn’t get______. When we did, we went to drink from the electric cooler. It was cold, free and satisfying. Occasionally, we had money in our pockets and______ourselves to a Coke or Pepsi. What a fun, stress-free and safe place to grow up on Long Island even without water bottles.
