第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Why have so many awards ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.
It would be possible to say, however, that in the past, scientists and artists could win "patronage" from rich people-a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them paint their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money. With the change in social systems across the world, this no longer happens. A lot of scientific research is now cither funded by the state or by private companies. Perhaps awards ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.
However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and see it or buy the DVD．When a writer wins the Nobel prize, many more people buy his books. When a group win the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The result? The group sell lots more records.
Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies. This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicising not only music but also MTV itself！
On the surface, it seems to be a "win-win" situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question-how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?
1、Why are some successful people like Shakespeare mentioned at the very beginning of the passage?
A．To show great admiration. B．To provide the background.
C．To prepare for the topic. D．To answer the question.
2、Artists and scientists used to receive money from______.
A．rich people's support B．ales of their works
C．different awards D．the government
3、The writer thinks awards actually do a better job in____.
A．getting the winners' great achievements recognized
B．financially supporting a scientist's or an artist's work
C．improving the status of the greatest scientists or artists
D．earning more money for the awards ceremony sponsors
4、What is the writer's attitude towards awards ceremonies？
A．Subjective. B．Approving.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.

B
Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, and cycling culture. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. The top museums to visit are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and an area for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.
Transportation
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and it’s a good choice to explore the city on foot.
Money-saving Tips
● Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District^ where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
● Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money
● Instead of hiring a tour guide, jump onto a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.
