AA trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below：Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level，the spotlights on the top of the Towerzoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Your Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us，after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower，you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.21. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A. Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.B. Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.C. Because you can have a special sight of the city of Pairs.D. Because you can see the Seine as clear as possible.22. Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?A. Because they didn’t seize the chance.B. Because they lost valuable objects.C. Because they set off the metal detector.D. Because they had a quarrel with the officer.23. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author recommends tourists have snacks at the Eiffel Tower.B. The Eiffel Tower provides expensive foods and drinks.C. The author prefers to eat across the Seine.D. You spend more if you have snacks at the Tower.BI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul—he stood for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues(美德) that aretypical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn't like his agent.C. He wasn't famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They had similar characteristics.26. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CNobody needs reminding that exercise is good for our health, but we may need reminding that it needs to be done in the right way.Light exercises are a great way to improve circulation and keep our muscles active, especially if the rest of the day will be spent sitting in front of a computer or in a lecture hall. However, certain sports like long distance running require training to build up our bodies so they can handle the challenge. If we go into such sport cold, it can shock our muscles, hearts, lungs and other organs and cause severe pain or in some cases, even death.Some people are born with medical conditions that go unnoticed until they stress the unstable part of their body. A weak heart may never be seen until we do something that causes extreme physical effort. Recently there have been cases of people dying while running long distances. Also, a university student died after taking a 1,000m running exam. Some universities and high schools have cut long distance races (i.e. 3,000m, 5,000m）from their campus sports games, partly because of the supposed danger and partly because they say fewer people are entering such events.Maybe education about such events is lacking, especially during primary and high school.People participating in such competitions should realize that a reasonable amount of training is required beforehand and having a medical check is wise, especially for a marathon. People shouldn't be forced to participate in events that push them past their limits, especially if they haven't warmed-up completely. Cancelling events could lead to people becoming less healthy and overweight. Maybe these events shouldn't be cancelled, but organizers and participants should be more careful about regular health checks.28. Why does the author write the text？______A. To give us some reminding on exercises.B. To persuade us to take less sports．C. To advise students to have regular exercises.D. To require cancelling long distance running．29. What does the underlined word "cold" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Having trained a lot.B. Without any preparation.C. Having a low temperature.D. In an unfriendly way.30. Why do some universities and schools cancel long distance races？______A. Because no students are willing to enter such events.B. Because the students' physical conditions are too poor to finish them.C. Because long distance running is not fit for students.D. Because they worry about the supposed danger in such races.31. What does the author advise us to do before running a marathon？______A. Have a medical check and warm-up exercises.B. Push ourselves past our limits.C. Participate in it confidently.D. Try to lose some weight first.DDreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze（迷宫）. The maze was a different place each time they tried—making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and an half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams after sleeping—and they were awakened within a minute of sleeping to describe their dreams. Stickgold, a neuroscientist （神经科学家）, wanted to know what people were dreaming about when the ir eyes weren’t moving during sleep.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; Others said theydreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn—it’s the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn’t take a nap, didn’t show the same improvement.32. After having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to_________________.A. stay in a.different place in the maze.B. try to remember something about their dreamsC. design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through.D. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place33. What can we learn from the text?A. Participants who took a nap were required to express their thoughts.B. Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.C. Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.D. Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.34. According to Stickgold, __________________.A. every person may dream about what they learnedB. once people’s eyes stop moving, they are sure to dream about somethingC. people’s brain processes may still be connected with their lea rning in their dreamsD. no ma tter how fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with people’s life35. What is the best title for this text?A. Dreams Are StrangeB. Not All Dreams Are TrueC. Dreaming and MemoryD. Stickgold, a Dream Expert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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
