21、Located in one of Beijing’s most active art communities, the “loneliness” museum is always crowded and busy, but everyone here says they are lonely. Divided into 13 sections including an office at night, the last subway, a hot pot restaurant and a hospital, the museum displays（陈列）over 1,000 lonely stories from different people, with words of encouragement and ways to deal with solitude written on the walls and the stairs.

The national mental health index reduces with age in the teenage stage（12 to 18 years old）and gradually rises in adulthood（18 to 55 years old）, showing that people will experience a period of mental health downturn during their youth. Teens can have thousands of friends online and yet feel unsupported and lonely. Technology, including social media, could be speeding up social loneliness. “Empty-nest（空穴）” youths are those who live alone and usually work in cities.

It’s possible that people get more used to loneliness as they get older, possibly through the experience of important life events and life changes.

It is comforting that our society is also more tolerant（宽容的）and gentle towards this kind of youth group, often encouraging and supporting them to face up to this crazy changing world bravely. In a room of the museum, with three bicycles, strangers can ride at the same time to light up the bulbs on the wall, which forms a sentence— “loneliness comes together with love”.

【1】You can visit the “loneliness “museum in _________.

A．Shanghai

【2】According to the passage, the museum includes 13 sections EXCEPT _________.

A．happiness

B．excitement

C．loneliness

D．sadness

【4】From Paragraph 2 and 3, we can know that _________.

A．old people feel lonelier than teenagers of 12—18 years old

B．social isolation may increase with the technology, like social media

C．“empty-nest” youths usually live in the countryside and without work

D．people will not get used to the loneliness when they become older

【5】The last sentence of the passage “loneliness comes together with love” will _________.

22、Disney has made many cartoon movies. The princesses in the movies are often girl's favorite characters. From Snow White to Moana, every princess leaves a deep impression on people. However, have you noticed that Disney princess are changing?

In the early Disney cartoon movies, princesses like Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty are usually good-looking and kind-hearted. But they have to depend on others to get out of trouble and find happiness. They end up living happily with their princes.

Now, people still love those princesses, but more and more girls know they have to fight for their own happiness. Disney has noticed the change. So the princesses in its newer movies don’t just have good looks.

Merida from Brave is a good example. She was born as a princess and she likes going on adventures. She spends her days practicing archery(射箭术), riding her horse and experiencing the world around her. She loves her family, but she wants to take control of her own life.

Some times ago, Disney even put up their “10 new rules for being a modern princess”. The rules include: Care for others; Live healthily; Don’t judge a book by its cover; Be honest; Be a friend you can trust; Believe in yourself; Right wrongs; Try your best; Be loyal and Never give up.

None of the rulers are about the looks of a princess. Anyway, one’s beauty is more valuable. Don’t you think so?

【1】Snow White is a good-looking and kind-hearted girl.

【2】All Disney princesses can get out of difficulty and find happiness by themselves.

【3】The princesses in Disney’s newer movies just have good looks.

【4】Merida wants to take control of her own life.

【5】Disney has found it more valuable to have inner beauty than to just have good looks.

23、   The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的

【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures

C.how photography helped people know more about animals

D.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully

25、   When I was a young boy, I was so shy that my classmates often 【1】 (laugh) at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something changed my life. It was 【2】English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it.【3】 a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of【4】 (I) school.

With the h【5】 of my mother, I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it. This may be the 【6】(great) thing that I did. Finally, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the news came that I had won the 【7】(one) place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and the 【8】(student). Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all said “Congratulations！” to me. My mother hugged me and cried 【9】(excited).

Since then, whenever I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure a【10】 I will find myself. And I also believe that confidence may be the most important thing in everyone's life.
