27、um ExhibitionsIn the past, if a person wanted to see the national treasures of a country, one had to go there in person. Therefore, very few people were able to enjoy some of historys most important and interesting artifacts (手工艺品). This has changed with an increase in the number of traveling museum

28、 exhibitions. King Tutankhamen ArtifactsA traveling exhibition of artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamen, popularly known as “King Tut”, toured the United States from November 1976 to April 1979. The 55 objects were shown in six cities and were seen by around eight million museum-goers. The sec

29、ond touring exhibit was started in , this time with 130 artifacts and stops in London and three different American cities. However some objects, like the kings golden face mask, are too valuable or too delicate to be transported long distances, so “replicas” (exact copies of something) are on show.J

30、apanese Color Woodblock PrintsThe Art Museum at University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, Virginia, has an extraordinary collection of Japanese color woodblock prints (木刻版画). These prints document the period from about 1850 to 1900, a time when Japan was opening itself to Western influences. Befor

31、e this point, Japan was a closed society that had little communication with the world outside of its borders. These works of art beautifully show the feeling of change and the trend toward modernization. The museum has put together a traveling exhibition of 60 of these prints, which can be borrowed

32、and exhibited worldwide for periods of eight weeks or more.Face-to-face with “Lucy”One of the worlds most famous archaeological (考古学旳) finds in history are the 3.2 million-year-old bones of a 106-centimeter-tall female found in the Ethiopian desert in 1974. Lucy, a name given to her by the discovery

33、 team, is a “hominid”, or a creature that scientists believe is the earliest ancestor of modern human beings. Rarely is an artifact this valuable allowed to travel widely, but Lucy has been taken to several museums in the U.S. while a detailed replica remains at the Ethiopian Natural History Museum.

The second touring exhibit showed more artifacts than the first one.D. The kings golden face mask was also shown in the traveling exhibitions

Japan was opening itself up to Western ideas.D. Japan achieved modernization.58. Who is Lucy according to

36、the passage?A. An archaeologist.B. The ancestor of modern human beings.C. A 106-centimeter-tall female who died in 1974.D. The first woman who visited the Ethiopian desert.B（Published March 30, ）Albert Einsteins Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakesand Jake Barnett has set out to prove it.

37、Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe. He happens to be 12 years old.From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars. W

38、hen he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory. He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy. Jakes IQ measured remarkably high at 170.As a baby, Jake was found out with Aspersers syndrome, a form of autism (孤单症). Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities.

39、People with autism may also have strong interestslike Jakes interest in the stars at a young age.The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe. Aspersers is one of the milder forms of autism. Sometimes people with Aspersers, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, m

40、usic or art.When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Aspersers were worsening. He became quiet. And he was withdrawing from people. So a doctor recommended that Jakes parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.Jakes mother asked an astr

41、onomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class. Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI.But Jake thinks its important to have a normal life too. He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies. He also enjoys playing classical music o

42、n the piano. But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing. Jakes professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university.Doctors have said Jakes autism symptoms have lessened over time. Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”

43、, or someone with Aspersers. In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason Im even at IUPUI.” 59. What did Jake want to do at IUPUI?A.

In the eyes of Jake, autism is something _.A. not worth worrying

46、aboutB. annoying C. not necessary to know aboutD. embarrassing CScientists have produced new evidence suggesting eating lots of red and processed meat damages health. They found big meat eaters had a raised risk of death from all causes over a 10-year period. In contrast, a higher intake of white me

47、at was associated with a slightly reduced risk of death over the same period.The US study, based on more than 500,000 people, found those whose diet contained the highest proportion (比例) of red or processed meat had a higher overall risk of death, and specifically a higher risk of cancer and heart d

48、isease than those who ate the least.People eating the most meat were eating about 160g of red or processed meat per day approximately a 6oz steak. Those who ate the least were only getting about 25g per day approximately a small piece of bacon. Just the opposite, those who ate the highest proportion

49、 of white meat had a lower risk of overall death, and a lower risk of fatal cancer or heart disease than those who ate the lowest proportion.Meat is a major source of saturated (饱和旳) fat, which has been associated with breast and colorectal cancer. In addition, lower meat intake has been linked to a

50、 reduction in risk factors for heart disease, including lower blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. The latest study adds to a growing body of research linking high red and processed meat consumption to an increased risk of ill health. Ed Yong, of the charity Cancer Research UK, said, “Eviden

51、ce from large studies tells us that cutting down on processed food, such as bacon or burgers, can reduce the risk of dying from cancer and other diseases.”Dr Barry Popkin of the University of North Carolina stressed there were health benefits from eating some red meat. But he added: “The need is for

52、 a major reduction in total meat intake, an even larger reduction in processed meat and other highly processed and salted animal source food products and a reduction in total saturated fat.” Dr Mark Wahlqvist, a nutrition expert from Australia, said eating small amounts of red meataround 30g a daypr

53、ovided a good source of key nutrients. He said, “Fresh, lean red meat of these amounts is likely to be of more benefit than harm.” 63. According to the passage, we know _.A. big meat eaters eat a 6oz steak per dayB. big meat eaters have heart disease ten years earlierC. people eating more meat will

54、suffer from a heart attackD. people eating more red meat have a higher risk of death64.

55、at red meat as we like.B. We should eat proper amount of red meat per day.C. We should reduce the amount of fresh, red lean meat.D. We should completely cut out red meat from our diet.66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Too much red meat consumption contributes to ill health.B. A well-bal

56、anced diet accounts for a healthy life.C. A higher intake of white meat brings benefits.D. Red meat contains saturated fat.DAre you single or married? Are you a cat or a dog owner? Do you exercise, or are you a “couch potato” (a person who sits on the sofa all day watching TV, eating and basically d

57、oing nothing)? These questions and many others are about your lifestyle.People in the United States feel that they can choose their lifestyles and even shape their own identities. The great variety of lifestyles leads to constant national discussion of choices that people make. This freedom of choic

58、e is fun and exciting, but it also creates stress and uncertainty. In newspapers, lifestyle issues are discussed in the features or style section. In The Chicago Tribune this section is called “Tempo”. People turn to this section for lively discussion on lifestyle choices they face with regard to th

59、eir personal identities, their families, and their social lives.Many American people believe that they can make their lives happy and satisfying despite their problems. If they lack confidence or tend to feel anxious, shy, angry, or depressed, they believe that they can change themselves. Self-help

60、books, magazines, and feature articles are filled with advice from experts about steps to take to become a happier or more satisfied person and to improve ones self-respect. Part of this research for self-improvement is a belief that even ones own appearance can be controlled. This is why there are

61、so many articles in the newspaper about looking young, wearing the latest fashions, and becoming physically fit.Lifestyle choices also involve moral and social issues. How should children be raised? How should people behave on a date? How should elderly people be treated? How can people stay happily married? All these kinds of issues are constantly discussed and are constantly changing. Not only are experts such as psychologists consulted, but stars from the political and entertainment worlds are held up as lifestyle leaders as well. In the newspaper
