Theres no airport on Tristan. Every month or so, a boat will bring visitors but not many. The boat will also bring mail and supplies. You can only see about 270 people, 300 cows, 500 sheep, and a whole lot of penguins there. The British tried to build a military base there in 1816. They gave up after a year. But a soldier and his family talked a few people into staying. Those people slowly built a community. Few trees grow on the island. So they found wood that washed ashore. They used it to build homes and boats. For food, they raised cows, sheep and pigs. They fished and planted potatoes. They promised to share everything they had. Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan. But for many years, no one there used money. Instead, people on the island traded potatoes for supplies. It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail. Today, nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer. The islands main industry is fishing. It has a single factory that cans fish. Several times, bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan. In 1885, men died in a boat accident. That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the island. Still, everyone stayed. In 1961, a bigger disaster stuck. The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All 290 people on the island moved to England. But soon, nearly all of them moved back to the island and rebuilt their town. Whats so special about life on this lonely island? For islanders like Harold Green, thats an easy question to answer. Green has lived on Tristan his whole life. He left when the volcano erupted. But England was too loud and too crowded for him. He came back because the island is peaceful.21. What was used as money on Tristan in the past?A. Fish.B. Wood.C. Sheep.D. Potatoes22. What made all the Tristan islander move to England in 1961?A.

The Museum of Broken Relationships, however, offers its visitors a chance to see a special part of peoples lives: both women and men from all over the world have sent in their personal belongings which they connect with past and broken relationships. There is a surprisingly large number of things in the little museum that is set in the beautiful old town of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The things have been placed in different rooms, representing different kinds of break-ups. Some relationships lasted for a long time while others were only short ones. A woman from the Philippines sent a newspaper from NYC where she and her boyfriend had been building up their careers. The newspaper stands for the hard work of becoming successful together; within a few years though, the couple took different roads in life. As you walk through the museum you will laugh your head off one minute and find yourself reduced to tears during another. This might happen in the room of unintended break-ups, that is , relationships that fell apart because one partner died. Poems and letters, or broken glass are common symbols for the end of a pleasant, but sometimes difficult time. People also sent wedding dresses, photos and things that helped them escape a relationship for good, like a bicycle or trainers. This museum might not teach you anything about art, history or technology, but it shows a very humane side of life. Each story tell us that life will go on after a break-up. It might not be easy for a while but you will learn from your experience and grow stronger again. Having visited a lot of “normal” museums, the Museum of Broken Relationships is a good second choice and a creative way of making people think about their lives.25. What does the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Visitors.B. Women and men.C. Personal belongings.D. Broken relationships26. What do we know about the “newspaper” couple?A. Their relationship was close but short.B. They took different positions on careers.C. Their story was reported by a newspaper.D. They helped each other in making careers.27. The room of unintended break-ups shows relationships that_.A. lasted for a long timeB. produced both laughter and tearsC. ended when one person passed awayD. failed because of some misunderstanding28. Whats the text mainly about?A. A special museum on relationships.B. Ways to repair broken relationships.C. How to develop healthy relationships.D. Things connected with broken relationships.【答案】25. B 26. D 27. C 28. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个关于感情的特别博物馆,这里面陈列的是来自世界各地的男女他们与过去和分手关系有关的私人物品。【25题详解】词义猜测题。根据前文“both women and men from all over the world have sent in their personal belongings(来自世界各地的男女都送来了他们的私人物品)”可猜测,they指的是上文中的“男人和女人”。故选B。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“A woman from the Philippines sent a newspaper from NYC where she and her boyfriend had been building up their careers. The newspaper stands for the hard work of becoming successful together(一位来自菲律宾的女士从纽约寄来了一份报纸,她和她的男友正在纽约发展事业。报纸代表着共同成功的努力)”可知,那对“报纸”夫妇他们在事业上互相帮助。故选D。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“This might happen in the room of unintended break-ups, that is , relationships that fell apart because one partner died.(这可能发生在无意识分手的房间里,也就是说,一段关系因为一方死亡而破裂)”可知,这间“意外分手屋”展示的是一段因某人去世而结束的恋情。故选C。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Having visited a lot of “normal” museums, the Museum of Broken Relationships is a good second choice and a creative way of making people think about their lives.(在参观了很多“正常”的博物馆之后,分手博物
