Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to exper ience? 24．Which of the following best explains “bust” underlined in Paragraph 1?A．Memory．B．Symbol．C．Failure．D．Challenge．25．When did the first non-native tourists come to Yosemite?A．After it was discovered by gold seekers．B．When the gold rush finally came to a stop．C．Before native Americans found its beauty．D．When it became a National Park in 1890．26．What do we learn about John Muir?A．He was the first to build the national park．B．He helped set the boundaries of Yosemite．C．He wrote to collect money for Yosemite．D．He gave Yosemite an official name．27．What do we know about Yosemite National Park?A．It has been well preserved since the Civil War．B．It was originally created to protect wild animals．C．It used to be well-known for its man-made beauty．D．It was once damaged by some of its earliest settlers．CA walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics（陶瓷制品）to Inuit sculpture.While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses."We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity," said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. "What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being."Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter（神经传导物质）known as the "happy chemical" which helps to lift mood.According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones（荷尔蒙）associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. "What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain," she says. "When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.""I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century," said Bondil. " Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA."28. What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?A. They can cheer people up.B. They can reduce physical activity.C. They can slow down our life pace.D. They can increase levels of art appreciation.29. How do museum visits affect people?A. Stop them concentrating on pain.B. Stop them focusing on traditional methods.C. Encourage them not to be absent-minded.D. Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.30. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Physical activities were popular in the 19th century.B. Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.C. Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.D. Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.B. Happy chemical helps to lift mood.C. Peaceful environment helps escape pain.D. Cultural activities will promote health.DWorking up a credit score for Walter Cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare—the man has nearly 1, 500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness Record for the most credit cards. Mr．Plastic Fantastic—a title given to him by Guinness World Records—is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet, which can hold about 800 cards. But he uses it only to carry a few cards, while the rest are safely kept in bank safedeposit boxes．Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s. "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet: the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner, “he said. “I got 143 cards by the end of the year, and my friend gathered 138.” After winning that bet, Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection. He got credit cards from gas stations, airlines, bars, and even ice cream stores．If there's one card missing from Cavanagh’s collection, it's that from the Newberry Company. They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s, even though he'd collected over 100 by then. They said he had too much credit. Therefore, so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in hiscollection.Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards—he's held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it. He copies whole pages from a U.S. directory of businesses and keeps sending applications. If he receives a rejection, he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition. But he doesn't count useless cards in his total collection.Thanks to all the cards to his name, Cavanagh has access to about ＄1.7 million at any moment. Despite this privilege, he has managed to maintain an excellent credit score.The 72-year-old retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share: “Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months. If you don't have the discipline, you shouldn't have the cards.”32. Cavanagh began to collect credit cards when he__________．A. owned a very long walletB. made a bet with his friendC. wanted to create a Guinness RecordD. was treated to dinner by his friend．33. What does the underlined word "repulsed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A. Rejected．B. Recalled．C. Repeated．D. Recognized．34. What do the underlined words "the discipline" in the last paragraph probably refer to？A. Having many cards to your own name．B. Buying things by card and paying off in time．C. Managing to own more privileges for your card．D. Using a card to buy things as many times as possible．35. What do we know about Cavanagh's cards？A. Some of them are useless．B. They are safely kept in his long wallet．C. They have brought him fame and privilege．D. Fewer new cards are added to his collections．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
