Listed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain
Built in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a traveler’s desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials. The Louvre in Paris, France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the “Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world. The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, America
Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique because it is a completely reproduced display from one man’s private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful
palace-like structure with frescoes (湿壁画) decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over (印象深刻) by the works by Botticelli, such as “The Birth of Venus”. Classic artworks from nearly 1, 000 years ago describe religious events of the time. 21.Which of the following is the most popular? A.The Louvre.

During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany, I’ve caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (疗法)are from the Chinese ones.
Back in Taiwan, whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat, I’d rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine. For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素).
Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved(缓解) the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, saying that I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to self-medicate as other Germans do.
I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erkaltungstee”. For German people, Erkaltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold. It’s a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold. My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better. It contained a lot of
C.Its location. D.Its history.
ginger, onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover.
24.How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor? A.Disappointed.
B.Surprised. C.Satisfied. D.Stressed.
25.According to the author, what effect do antibiotics have on his cold? A.They cure his cold.
B.They prevent the disease.
C.They kill the virus in him. D.They make him feel better. 26.What do Germans think of “Erkaltungstee”?
A.It can replace any cold remedy B.It can build up one’s resistance. C.It’s a good way to self-medicate. D.It’s better than chicken soup. 27.What can we infer from the text?
A.Germans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold. B.The author often catches a cold in Taiwan. C.The author seldom drinks chicken soup. D.German doctors are cold to patients.

Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853 in Zundert in the south of the Netherlands. He was unlucky to live only for 37 years and to discover his love for art at the age of 27. Therefore, he worked as an artist for only 10 years of his life.
During the Enlightenment Age, emphasis on literature, philosophy, science, fine arts and music became more widespread, especially with the growing middle class. This means that Vincent van Gogh had lived in a flourishing(繁荣的) artistic movement, which was supposed to help him succeed as an artist and become rich. However, he didn’t win reputation as an artist. Although Vincent painted 900 paintings and more than 1100 drawings, his works remained unknown and unsold and his brother Theo supported him financially(财政上地）during his lifetime.
Perhaps one of the reasons for his failure as an artist is his clumsy(笨拙的) behavior when he suffered from mental illness. Another reason is his short-tempered nature and rudeness which most of the time brought him bloody fights with his fellow Gauguin that ended up with cutting off Vincent’s ears. Moreover, he was always dirty and not well-dressed, which made people avoid
dealing with him and buying his artistic works. Furthermore, his poor health gave more blows to his life and caused an early death to such a great artist. But now in our age, his wonderful painting (Portrait of Dr. Gachet) is sold around 150 million dollars.
Vincent van Gogh is just an example of the talented people who failed in their pursuit of glory. 28. What can we learn about Vincent before he was 27? A. He showed no love for art. B. He enjoyed staying alone. C. He had a great interest in art. D. He spent much time painting.
29.How many reasons are given to present Vincent’s failure as an artist? A. Two. B. Three C.Four D. Five 30. Why didn’t people like to trade with Vincent?
A. He was a mess. B. He became angry easily. C. He didn’t have fine works. D. He often fought with others. 31. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Good manners are more important than talents. B. A seed planted in darkness may flower later C. Failure is the mother of success D. One is never too old to learn
