Box 427, Station A Ottawa, Ontario Canada KIN 9N4Telephone: 613-990-1985 or 1-800-319-ARTS Fax: 613-993-4385Directions：From Highway 417, take the Metcalfe exit (出 口). Follow Metcalfe Street around the Museum of Nature and continue to the north until you reach the end of the street at Wellington. You will see Parliament Hill. Turn right onto Wellington Street and continue in the left-hand road until you reach Sussex Drive. As you approach Sussex Drive, you will see the Chateau Laurier hotel on your left-hand side. Make a left turn onto Sus-sex Drive and continue until you see the Gallery on your left-hand side, at the corner of St. Patrick and Sussex. The Gallery is a large glass building with two towers. Just beyond the St. Patrick / Sussex crossroads you will see the entrance to the Gallery' s underground parking.Opening Hours： 1 May 30 SeptemberOpen daily from 10 am to 5 pm, Thursdays to 8 pm. 1 October - 30 AprilOpen Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm; Thurs-days until 8 pm.

If a family of four （two adults and two children） visit the Gallery on Thursday at 6:00 pm, they need to pay .A. 0 dollars B. 14 dollars C. 18 dollars D. 26 dollarsBIn the far, far future, bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer （飞碟）.Imagine a race between them!There may be telepathy helmets （心灵感应帽）that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial 一 made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.The future hospitals will probably have “body banks“ that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer （驾驶）.Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won' t even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as safe as being at home.But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes （圆顶罩）over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won' t have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the “weatherman” thinks it is necessary to fresh the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm.The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.24. The underlined word “that" in Paragraph 2 refers to .A. telepathy helmet B. the brain C. thought wave D. the secret25. What can we learn from the passage?A. There will be “body banks“ instead of hospitals in the future.B. The artificial food made from coal and limestone tastes the most delicious in the future.C. With telepathy helmets, we can share our thoughts without any word.D. Plastic domes themselves can automatically control the weather.26. The author? s attitude towards the future life is .A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. satisfied D. doubtfulCJohn von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph. D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics （Einstein was one of the others）.World War II hugely changed von Neumanns areas of interest. Until 1940 he hadbeen a great pure （纯粹的 ）mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.Von Neumann really was a legend （传奇）in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way: "I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path. ”27. According to the text, Von NeumannJ s father believed that .A. a mathematician couldn, t earn a lot of moneyB. a mathematician needed a good memoryC.
