She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. ""Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us."May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked.I turned sharply. "The Mckay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head."Sorry, the Mck ay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! ""There's some really good stuff up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McKay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McKay Museum?""Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.""That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you."24. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?A. Concerned.B. Frightened.C. Puzzled.D. Delighted.25.

However, since April in 2020, the small island of just 2,700 residents has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of abeach that was washed away over three decades ago.The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the settlements on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms. There were only rocks and rock pools left. For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores. The area's tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.Then around Easter in 2020, something magical happened—an unusual ten­day tide blanketed the barren 300­meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature with their own eyes. However, Sean Molloy, manager at Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold wa ters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand coming in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents (水流) could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time. ”He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act. It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927. However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.28. What has brought Achill Island worldwide attention recently?A．An unusual storm.B．The return of its beach.C．The decrease in the number of residents.D．The building of a new tourist destination.29. What happened to Dooagh in the past three decades?A．Storms attacked frequently.B．Restaurants developed slowly.C．Tourism went down gradually.D．Rock pools disappeared completely.30. What does the underlined word “barren” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．bare B．soft. C．noisy. D．golden.31. What should tourists avoid according to Sean Molloy?A．Spoiling the shores.B．Getting into the rock pools.C．Playing with dolphins.D．Swimming near the beach.DIf you followed the 2020 Olympic Games, you may have noticed that several athletes, including US swimmer Michael Phelps, had circular bruises on their bodies. These bruises were the result of “cupping (拔火罐) therapy”，a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2020 and has used it about twice a week since, reported ABC News. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that “it really helps with blood flow”．However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from people's feeling that the treatment works, rather than any physical effect of the treatment. To figure out cupping therapy has any physical effect, last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a false treatment was provided.In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the false treatment. But in the false treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that they couldn't create the proper suction (吸力)．The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder that caused a lot of pain, were told that they would receive either traditional cupping or “softcupping”. But they were not informed that what called “soft cupping” was a false treatment.It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received. In both groups, patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain. “ The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，” the researchers told the Live Science website.The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. “But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people, the therapy can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle changing,”Dr Brent Bauer, director of the US Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic, told Live Science.32. Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in the passage?A．To give athletes a new way to swim faster.B．To introduce the topic on cupping therapy.C．To provide athletes with a new way of treatment.D．To show swimmers suffer from disorders.33. The purpose of the test by researchers from Germany was to ________.A．promote the health effects of cupping therapyB．compare traditional cupping with soft cuppingC．see whether cupping therapy has a physical effectD．compare cupping therapy's effects on different groups of people 34. What can be learned from the passage?A．Different people need different types of cupping therapy.B．The real treatment and false treatment almost have the same effects. C．The results show that cupping therapy is not part of the treatment. D．Cupping therapy is only effective when used with lifestyle changing.35. According to Dr Brent Bauer, cupping therapy ________.A．is a fast and easy treatment for people to carry outB．is a newly invented way to cure some diseasesC．needs a long period of time to take effectD．can be used together with other treatments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。
