Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.Room 1 The celebrity footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities choice of footwear extremely interesting.Room 2 Most of our visitors are amazed-and shocked-by the collection of special purpose shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!Room 3As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe-shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that look like legs!The Footwear Library People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.21. All exhibits in each room . A. belong to the same social class B. have the same shape C. are made of the same material D. share the same theme22. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data B. Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum. C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two. D. The oldest exhibits in Room l were made in the 1950s23. The purpose of the text is to get more people to _. A. do research B. visit the museum C. design shoes D. follow celebritiesBIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.24. The soldiers began socializing with the enemy because _.A. they couldnt bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds25. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers socializing?A. They sent the soldiers loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.26. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means _.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused27. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings _.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestCEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC to place news stories directly into users personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn at least for now. The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the readers personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been publishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isnt their primary function so if it stops making them lots of money, theyre likely to stop doing it.Theres also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article at least for daily news I dont think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.28. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook.B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.29. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because _.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas30. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.31. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The authors opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.DA match of the century between human champion of the Chinese board game Go (围棋) and Googles computer program kicked off in Seoul on Wednesday, which drew great attention.The first game of the five-game match started at about 1 p.m. local time (0400 GMT) at Four Seasons Hotel in central Seoul. It will run through next Tuesday to determine the winner between South Korean Lee Sedol, the world Go champion in the past 10 years, and AlphaGo, developed by Googles London-based subsidiary DeepMind.The match of the century drew great attention from news organizations, Go fans and the general public across the world as well as in South Korea as it is seen as a representative match between humans and artificial intelligence (AI).The Korea Baduk Association, a body for South Korean Go professionals, had received advance applications for an explanatory event of the match, but the limit of 60 seats had already surpassed.South Koreas public broadcaster KBS plans to broadcast live the match from 12:40 to 5 p.m., extending its initial plan to air it for two hours from 3 p.m. due to great interests from the general public. It is unusual for the public broadcaster to broadcast live the Go game for more than four hours.Cable channel TV Chosun will broadcast the matchs development every 10 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday, while planning to air live the whole matches on Saturday and Sunday.The match is being aired live through YouTube around the world, while various Internet websites and TVs are broadcasting the landmark match.Hundreds of journalists from around the world gathered at the venue (体育比赛场所) to report on the match between Lee and AlphaGo.AlphaGo took the world by surprise as it defeated European Go champion Fan Hui in October last year. Some experts had predicted it would take decades of years for AI to defeat humans at the ancient Chinese board game. Go, which originated in China more than 2,500 years ago, has been viewed as a grand challenge for AI due to its complexity and intuitive nature. It involves two players, who take turns putting markers (围棋子) on a grid-shaped board to gain more areas on it. One can occupy the markers of the opponent by surrounding the pieces of the other.32. What does the underlined phrase kicked off mean?A. Started. B. Stayed. C. Closed. D. Finished.33. Why did the match draw so much attention in the world?A. Because the match was the first one between humans and AlphaGo.B. Because it is seen as a representative match between humans and AI.C. Because it would take decades of years for AI to defeat humans at the ancient Chinese board game.D. Because many TVs broadcast live the game.34.The following statements are true except _.A. there are five matches between South Korean Lee Sedol and AlphaGoB. AlphaGo gave the world a surprise by defeating European Go champion Fan Hui in October last yearC. Go originated in China more than 2,500 years agoD. cable channel TV Chosun will broadcast all the five games35. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Go match between human champion and Googles AI draws wide attentionB. Humans challenge artificial intelligenceC. Human Go champion will defeat Googles AI AlphaGo in Go gamesD.
