The admission is free and we open every day from 10:00 to 15:30. You can explore 10departments including:The Department of Africa, Oceania and the AmericasThe collection of the Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas includes around 350,000 objects. The scope of the collection is contemporary, and historical. It includes most of Africa, the Pacific and Australia, as well as the Americas. All of the collections were got during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and date from this time.The Department of AsiaThe Department of Asia covers the material and visual cultures of Asia - a vast geographicalarea of Japan, Korea, China, Central Asia, Afghanistan, South Asia and South-East Asia. The collection dates from about 4000 BC, to the present day. It represents the cultures and ways of life of local people and other minority groups.The Department of Greek and Roman EmpiresThe Department of Greek and Roman Empires features antiquities （古董）.It has one of the most comprehensive collections of antiquities from the Classical world, with over 100,000 objects. These mostly range in date from the beginning of the Greek Bronze Age （about 3200BC） to the time of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century AD.16.

A. the geographic features of AsiaB. the life styles and cultural traditions of some people C. the relationships between Asian countries D. the cultural fights between some native groupsBLondoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books-especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy 6proper5 books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world5 to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over fromDickens9 time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize 一 in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy（哲学），politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture（冒险）off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows（手推车）which line the gutters（贫民区）.And the collectors, some professional and some amateur（业余爱女子者）have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.19. According to the passage, we can infer that.A. Londoners like borrowing books from librariesB. Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapersC. Londoners like reading books in libraries D. Londoners don*t like buying "proper9 books.20. Charing Cross Road which is well-known for lies in the of London.A. bookstores, East Central district B. publishing houses, downtownC. bookshops, centerD. libraries, countryside21. The underlined word "solely“ in the second paragraph means.A. whollyB. partlyC. hardlyD. seldom22. The third paragraph mainly tells us in London.A. where to buy the dear new booksB. where to buy the cheap new booksC. where to buy the cheap second-hand booksD. where to buy the dear second-hand booksCWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as main entertainment, but certainly not an education priority （优先）.This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock musicrepresents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception （感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can beshared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.23. According to Paragraph 1, students.A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on educationC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science24. In Paragraph 2, the author used jazz as an example to.A. compare it with rock musicB. show music reflects a societyC. introduce American musical traditionD. prove music influences people's lifestyles25. According to the passage, the arts and science.A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express people's feeling in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently26. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education is more necessary.B. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative.DAlbert Einstein has a great effect on science and history. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook一a new view of the universe. It may be sometime before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on, but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I, honours wereincreasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble （谦逊 的）manners. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.27. . The main idea of the first paragraph is.A . the difficulty of Einstein!s thought to othersB . the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC . the difference between science and historyD . the change in human thought produced by Einstein28. .
