Below are some of London's must-see museums.

Science Museum

The Science Museum features seven floors of educational and entertaining exhibits, including the Apollo 10. The Wellcome Wing shows developments in modern science, medicine and technology. The Medical History Gallery in the museum contains a large collection of medical history treasures. Exhibits in the Exploring Space galleries include models of the Huygens Titan probe(探測器) and Beagle 2 Mars Lander. Tickets to the museum’s in-house IMAX cinema cost extra.

Natural History Museum

The handsome Alfred Waterhouse building houses a collection that contains some 70 million plant, animal, fossil, rock and mineral samples. The Natural History Museum’s Life Galleries are devoted to displays on animal life. The Earth Galleries explore the natural forces that shape our planet, the treasures we take from it, the effect we have on it and its place in the universe. The museum’s wildlife garden attracts urban wildlife such as dragonflies and blackbirds and highlights inner-city wildlife conservation.

London Transport Museum

Among the vehicles on display at the London Transport Museum is the first underground electric train, which had no windows because there was nothing to see underground. The trouble was that no one could tell which stop they were at, a small problem solved by employing an athletic announcer who ran to each carriage at every station, shouting out the stops. Dating from 1890, this is one of the several museum exhibits you can board. The design gallery is in memory of Frank Pick, the man responsible for rolling out the London Underground brand and giving each line its own character.

Museum of London

The history of London, from prehistoric times to the present is told in the Museum of London through reconstructed interiors(內(nèi)部) and street scenes, alongside displays of original artifacts found during the museum’s archaeological digs. Check the website before your visit as a packed program of temporary exhibitions, talks, walks and children’s events is central to the life of the Museum of London.

Jonathan Cranwell sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. Jonathan had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!

He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher was from Harvard College. Jonathan’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire Jonathan. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special , though he’d only been there two days.

“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles ( 幼蟲和甲蟲). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells”

Jonathan watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next ?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.

Jonathan and his friends liked this new way of learning.

“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology(神話), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”

“How is the new schoolmaster ?” asked Jonathan’s father that evening, when Jonathan announced he was going out to look at the sky.

“He’s different from any other schoolmaster we’ve had,” Jonathan admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”

“So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked Jonathan’s father.

“I believe he has,” said Jonathan. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”

What does the underlined word “drone” in Paragraph 1 mean ?

A. Clear speaking voices B. Continuous low dull sounds

C. Enthusiastic responses D. High spirits

26. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children ?

A. “Go outside and look at the sky,… ”

B. “ See if you can describe their shells.”

C. “ It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,…”

D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…”

27.From the last but one paragraph, we can learn that __________.

A. Mr. Cranwell had met the new schoolmaster

B. Jonathan had previously complained about school

C. Mr. Cranwell was not satisfied with the new ways

D. Jonathan had shown his father his homework.

28.What is the main idea of this story?

A. Science is all around us.

B. School provides us with the best education.

C. Homework is an important part of education.

D. There is more than one way to learn.

C

At the end of the 19th century, Maria Montessori became Italy’s first modern woman physician. Early in her career, she struggled to advance in the male-dominated profession. As a member of the University of Rome department, she was assigned to the city’s mental hospitals to experiment with the patients’ ability to learn, a task considered boring and unimportant by medical professionals at the time. Although her education was in medicine, her interaction with mentally-disabled children inspired her to study the processes of the mind. By 1906, she had resigned from the university to pursue a career in child education.

Starting with sixty working-class children, Montessori established a children’s house in Rome to foster (培養(yǎng)) an environment ideally suited for child development. Her efforts led her students—even those with supposed learning disabilities—to be excellent at standardized examinations. In the children’s house, Montessori realized how readily children learnt from their environment.

At its core(核心), the Montessori Method is a means of fostering development and learning in children. The comparison of a child’s development with universal standards is discouraging, since it is believed that children naturally develop in different ways and acquire skills at different times. Acknowledging this, a Montessori educator closely observes the child and provides him or her with the tools necessary for independent learning. Adults avoid giving criticism for mistakes and rewards for successes. The goal of these steps is to ease the child into an environment of learning without fear. Self-learning and self-correction are the fundamental processes of the Montessori Method, which Maria Montessori showed will foster a lifelong love of learning and joy in the pursuit of one’s goals.

Today, children are taught with the Montessori Method in both public and private schools in the United States and many countries around the world. With increasing pressure on schools to provide quality education to a growing population, Montessori’s ideas of teaching self-reliance and love of learning continue to gain in popularity.

29. After becoming a doctor , Montessori faced strong pressure from __________.

A. demanding research workB. teaching at the University of Rome

C. the medical fields controlled by men D. patients in mental hospitals

30. The first 60 children in the children’s house __________.

A. had severe learning disabilitiesB. came from wealthy backgrounds

C. were nervous of the ideal environment D. performed very well academically

31.What does the Montessori Method require an educator to do ?

A. Reward children for their successes.

B. Ask children to provide themselves with teaching tools.

C. Make children the center of learning.

D. Place great emphasis on universal standards.

32. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss ?

A. The origins of the Montessori Method B. The influence of the Montessori Method

C. The principles of the Montessori Method D. The limitations of the Montessori Method

The hottest “green “ toy in Germany isn’t made of organic or recycled materials. This one has a solar panel (太陽能電池板)and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones” that power the space station. Germany, a pioneer in many renewable energy movements, is also at the forefront of creating environment -friendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use, raising awareness through play. A number of high-tech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair, which runs through Sunday.

Among them, there are hydroelectric-powered toy cars, and doll houses with wind –powered engine and rainwater catchers. The bright green "Future Planet" space station features inner equipment with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell. Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future. 

Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future and that of our kids. "Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead," said Judith Schweinitz, a spokeswoman for Playmobil, maker of the solar panel-fitted space station. "It is increasingly being brought into our play concept."she added. Studies indicate that green toys which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness are becoming more and more popular in the international toy market.

33. The hottest “green” toy in Germany is __________.

A. made of organic or recycled materials B. made of green stones

C. driven by an advanced motor D. equipped with a solar panel

34.The purpose of making the green toys is to __________.

A. give kids the knowledge of technology.D. improve the safety of toys.

C. raise kids’ awareness about energy and environment D. improve kids’ imagination

How to Win a High School Election

If you plan on running for student office, you want to know how to win a high school election. 36 You need to consider the following key elements (要素) of an election.

* Learn About Your School .

Before you can be an official for your class, you will need to know about your class and the school as a whole. You can’t make a difference if you don’t know what to change. 37

* Get involved before winning the election.

If you want to make changes to some of the rules in the school’s policy, you will have to get on the administration’s good side. Ask to join in on meetings with school officials. It’s also a good idea to get to know some of the parents of the students who will vote for you. You can do this by attending PTA meetings. 38 Ask questions and voice your opinion so you stand out.

* Get to know your voters.

39 And try to make good first impressions on them. Be careful, though. You don’t want to seem fake (假裝的) because then people won’t vote for you. Simply say hello and let people know you are running for whatever office you choose. If they seem interested in you, continue the conversation. If not, back off. Being pushy is another thing that will lose your votes.

　40　

Just as confidence is essential during your presentation, it’s also important every day. Stand tall, smile, and be friendly. Have fun with your election because students want someone who is real and friendly.

Let yourself shine.

Meet as many high school students as possible.

While at these meetings, don’t be a passive attendee.

Get started on how to win a high school election.

Write a speech about what you would like to see change.

Read the student guidebook about the history as well as present rules for the school.

Putting up posters and relying on your popularity isn’t enough to guarantee you a win.

What do you want to be when you grow up ? A teacher? A doctor ? How about an ice-cream taster?

Yes, there really is a job 61 you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester ”for 62 past 21years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison’s 63 (responsible) is to approve large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as to develop over 75 flavors. Some people think that the love for ice cream can qualify one 64 the job, but Harrison points out that a food—science degree would be very useful to someone 65 (want) a career in this “cool”field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison 66 (let) the ice cream warm up to about 12°F to get more flavor. While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on 67 (it) appearance.“Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks 68 (see) if the ice cream is 69　(attract) and asks himself, “Does the product have the color 70　(expect) from that flavor ? ” Next it’s time to taste.

When I was on the Earth, we worked in a big ,crowded city and lived a busy life. Most people there lived in high-rise flats and drove to work. As a result , there were frequent traffic jams and accidents. And the air was full of smoke.

But there were many ways for people to get relaxed after work. Some went to cinemas or theaters to watch movies or plays. Some preferred to play all kinds of sports games in parks . Others held parties to meet new friends and entertain themselves.

So you see, we have a different lifestyle here. Anyway life is changing for the better.
