Heres how to get free tickets and have some funMuseum Day is here for one day and one day only so youll need to hurry if you want to take advantage of the chance to get free Saturday admission to one of the hundreds of participating museums.The yearly event is hosted by Smithsonian Magazine and involves museums and cultural institutions coming together to offer free admission for patrons(顾客) who would otherwise have to pay for entry.You just need an email address to get a ticketTo get a ticket youll need to go to the Smithsonian Magazine website and pick which museum you want to go to. Youll be able to search to see which museums near you are participating, and from there you just have to put in your email address and name. After that, you can download your ticket and head out for some fun.A lot of museums are still feeling financial stress from the pandemicThe event is happening as museums are still struggling from the hits they took during the first few years of the pandemic.The American Alliance of Museums estimated it will take years for museums to fully recover. In February, the group released survey results that detailed those financial losses.AAM President and CEO Laura Lott noted that federal relief helped remove the threat of closure that many institutions were facing, but 2022 proved to be another painful year.But theres hope that a free day at the museums might spark subsequent(随后的) visits.1.

But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.Most days after that lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasnt trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, Id insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didnt grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured(津津有味地吃) at home.I didnt know that I wasnt alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter(遭遇) whats known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider.For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her moms Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Dont yuck someones yum.”Looking back, I wish Id had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when Im hungry, guess what? I miss my moms bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And thats something to celebrate, not hide.4 Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school?A. She didnt like her smelly lunch.B. Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti.C. Her mom didnt prepare lunch for her.D. She skipped her lunch to fit in with others.5. What can we infer about the writer according to the passage?A. She enjoyed the lunchtime at school.B. Her parents are immigrants from India.C. She liked peanut- butter-and-jelly sandwich best.D. She would bite her bhindi roti quickly when someone was looking.6. How did Satya deal with “the lunchbox moment”?A. She threw away her lunch box.B. She asked her teacher to make a rule.C. She ate American food instead of her moms Indian cooking.D. She brought more Indian cooking to share with her classmates.7. What does the author want to tell us?A. Food is something to celebrate, not hide.B. Never should you yuck someones yum in any case.C. Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated.D. The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods.C“WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?” says a voice from an iPhone. Its Siri, and shes ready to follow your voice commands to search the Internet, text someone, or play a song. Siri is an example of artificial intelligence(AI), or a computer program that can think. The way Siri thinks is very different from how a person thinks. She doesnt have a brain. Instead, she relies on code in a computer program to understand speech and answer questions. And some questions are still too difficult for her to answer.However, AI programs like Siri are getting smarter and smarter every year. In 2011, an AI named Watson defeated two human champions on the quiz show Jeopardy! Computer programs can also drive cars, perform science experiments, and produce their own artwork.Someday, artificial intelligence will most likely surpass human intelligence. Once this happens, computers will think, plan, and act at a level that human beings cant understand. In his book Superintelligence, Nick Bostrom writes, “As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species would depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.”If a superintelligence wanted to rule the world, Bostrom argues, it would easily do so. It could also wipe out all humans. Or just ignore us. Whatever it did, we likely wouldnt have much control. Hes not the only one worrying. In 2015, a group of great scientists, including Stephen Hawking, wrote an open letter that asks anyone researching AI to proceed carefully. AI has the potential to benefit society greatly, but “our AI systems must do what we want them to do.” they write. What do you think? If people create a super intelligent AI, will we be able to control it?What will happen to us if a superintelligent AI starts making decisions on its own?8. What can Siri do now according to the passage?A. She can think like a human.B. She can answer all kinds of questions.C. She can follow your voice commands.D. She can make decisions on her own.9. What does the writer want to show by mentioning AI Watson?A. AI is getting increasingly smart.B. Computer science is developing fast.C. AI performs best in the quiz show Jeopardy.D. Computer programs can do a variety of jobs.10. What does the underlined word “surpass” mean in paragraph 3?A. Be similar to.B. Do better than.C. Compete against.D. Be junior to.11. What is Nick Bostroms attitude towards superintelligence?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Cautious.D. Objective.DA trip to Venice will now leave your wallet even emptier.Earlier this year, the city announced that anyone who enters Venice and doesnt stay overnight is set to pay a fee ranging from 3 to 10 euros, depending on factors such as advance booking and whether its peak season or if the city is very crowded. This rule will come into effect in January 2023.According to The Associated Press, as mass tourism gained popularity in Venice in the mid-1960s, the number of visitors increased year by year. In 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were some 19 million day-trippers who visited the city.As more visitors come to enjoy the charm of the Italian city, lots of Venetian residents have been forced to leave their homes. According to CNN, due to congestion(拥堵) and the increasing costs of delivering food and other goods in carless Venice,around 70 percent of Venetian residents have left the city in the past 70 years.The government hopes the new rule could help to regulate(调节) tourism in the city and “find a balance between Venetian residents and long-term and short-term visitors”, as noted by AP. The money they collect will be used to clean up waste and maintain the heritage of the city.Local Marco Malafante, who manages vacation rentals(租赁) in the city, also expressed his support for the move.But a Venetian gondolier, simply called Cuba, was worried and thought the government moves would “commercialize(使商业化)” the city and disturb the lives of ordinary people.“Entering Venice will be like entering a museum. I dont think the measure will help the problem of transforming Venice into a Disneyland, with fake(假的) glass shops and piazza sellers replacing the old artisan(工匠) shops,” Cuba told CNN.12. According to the new rule, what kinds of visitors to Venice will pay for a fee?A. All visitors who come to Venice.B. Visitors who dont book in advance.C. Visitors who visit Venice in peak season.D. Visitors who dont spend a night in Venice.13. Which of the following is NOT the reason why many Venetians have left their homes?A. Heavy traffic.B. The COVID-19 pandemic.C. The rising costs of delivery.D. Increasing numbers of visitors.14. What did Cuba think of the new rule?A. It wont help settle the problem.B. It could help to regulate tourism.C. It will transform Venice into a Disneyland.D. It will help maintain the heritage of the city.15. What is the best title of this passage?A. Venice will restore its charm.B. Venice will charge for day trips.C. Venice will be commercialized soon.D. Venice will balance the locals and visitors.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。E-bike, powered by an electric motor in addition to your pedaling, is growing faster than any other kind of bikes these days.
